What Spring Brings With II.

Regarded from a medical st dndpoint,
Spring is not the delectable season de-
scribed by yernal poets. On IL contrary,
its yield of Intermittent fevers, bilious at
lacks, rheumatic pains, disord ,rs of the
stomach, nervous complaints, and pulmo-
nary diseases, is almost as large as its crop
of violets, snowdrops and cherry blossoms.
The Invisible seeds of innumerable mala-
dies rise with the morning mists, and are
scattered broadcast by the vapors OF night.
Who can resist their mephitic influence
whose nervous energies have been over
tasked by mental or physical labor, unless
they tone and ipvigorat9 their systems, and
thus enable them to cope with the I'M
healthy influences by which they are sur
rounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-
fnvigorant. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

Advantages Of Deep Flowing.
From the Nashville Enterprise. ]

From the Nashville Enterprise
As many of our farmers are COM
planning of their plowed lands being
washed away by the late unpreceden-
teddy heavy rains, have examined into
the matter, and I find in many cases,
where the plowed land has been all
washed off clean, the farmers used only
one horse in breaking up, and plowed
but shallow. This loss of soil is an im-
portant item to the owners, and to the
State; and it behooves all to know how
to prevent such waste, by a system of
blowing that meets the case; and doubt
ess all who will read and profit by the
experience of practical farmers, will
avail themselves of all sensible hints.
I began in December last and finished
blowing field of seventy-five acres in
January, using two heavy horses to
Collins cast steel plows, and turned the
soil eight inches deep, and then follow
ed in each furrow subsoiling it six
inches, making fourteen inches deep In
all. This field is hillside, rising one
hundred feet in eighty rods. 1t was
nearly all planted in corn when the del
uging rain came last week, overlooking
the banks of streams and washing away
farms. 1 had no fears of lands I had
piowed as described; and while it was
pouring down torrents I told Mr..
Shadduck, Wisconsin friend, I had
no fears unless it rained more than
twenty inches of water, for my plowed
soil fourteen inches deep, being loose,
would drink at least that much water;
besides it takes powerful force to
move fourteen inches of mud. After
the rain ceased rode into the field, the
horse sinking up to his knees in mud,
but nowhere found any washing away
of soil, and my hat would hold all the
dirt 1 lost by the rain, which has ruined
so many fields plowed after the old
system.
Now, ask, was not this fair test of
saving land from washing, by deepplow-
ing? Let me assure our brother farm
GERS, in plain English, that facts demon
strate it takes but little water to make
thin mud where they pillow up only three
or four inches of loose dirt; and but
little force will carry it away, if there
be but slight descent. But it takes
tremendous rain to make even stiff
mud where the ground has been plowed
from eight to fourteen inches depth,
and it takes powerful force to move
that depth of stiff mud. Nothing short
of second Noah's flood can dothe job.
Other important advantages result
from deep plowing-the air is much
warmer than the soil ten inches under
ground, and as deep blowing admits
better circulation of air down there, the
soil warns up earlier in spring, and we
can plant much earlier; nor is the deep
cultivated warm soil, half SO liable to
frosts; and such plowed lands retain
moisture better in drouth, and of a wet
season the water,,passes off better, al
lowing the air a free, nmolested cir
culation through the soil richly laden
with carbonic acid and ammonia, sup
plying vegetation with nutriment best
adapted to their vigorous growth.
Deep plowed lands are much easier cul-
tivated, and never fail to reward the
farmer with full crop, wet or dry, hot
or cold. Tryit.

Liquid Excrement.


How strangely we overlook the
value of the liquid eXcrement OF out
animals A COW, under ordinary feed
ing, furnishes in year 10000 pounds
of solid excrement, and about S,OOr
pounds of liquid. The comparative
money value of the two is bus
slightly in favor of the solid. Tho
statement has been verified as truth,
over and over again. The urine of
herbiverous animals holds nearly ali
the secretions of the body which are
capable of producing the rich nitro
genous compounds so essential as fore
ing or leaf-forming agents in the
growth of plants. The solid holds the
phosphoric acid, the lime and magnesia
which go to the seeds principally but
the liquid, holding nitrogen, potash and
soda, is needed in forming the stock and
leaves. The two forms of plant nutri.
ment should never be separated or al
lowed to be wasted by neglect. The
farmer who saves all the urine Of
his animals doubles his manurial re-
sources every year. Good seasoned
peat is of immense service TO farmers,
when used as All absorbent, and the
stalls for animals should be so construct
ed as to admit Of a wide passage in the
rear with generous passage room for
peat to be used daily with the excre-
ment.

Hints for Nurses.

You know what a racket is caused,
even by the most careful hand, in sup
plying Goals to CRATE OF stove, and how,
when the performance is undertaken by
the servant, it becomes almost distract
ing. If you don't remember, take no.
tice the first time you are i'll, or you have
o dear patient in your care, or the baby
is in quiet slumber. Let some one
bring in the coal-scuttle and revive your
recollection. Well, the remedy we sug-
gest is to put the Goals in little paper
bags, each holding about a shoyelful.
These can be laid quietly on the fire,
and as the paper ignites, the Goals will
softly settle in place. You may fill q
coal-scuttle or box with such parcels
ready for use. For a sick room, a
nursery at night, or even for library,
the plan is admirable: just try it. Be-
sides, it is so Clearly. If you don't
choose to provide yourself with paper
bags, you can wrap the Goals in pieces
Of newspaper at your leisure and have
them ready for use when occasion re-
quires.

Romance in Real Life.

The following interesting and ro-
mantle story is related by the Lewis
ton Maine Journal:
About fifteen years ago, a young
Scotchman had as neighbors, in the
mountain regions of Scotland, family
in which there was a little girl of four
years. One day, he took the little girl
ON his knee, and playfully told her
father: One day will make her my
wife," Not long after, the father,
mother, and girl resolved to emigrate
to America, which they accordingly
did, landing in Portland, in the year
1857. Not many years after this family
came to this country, the young man
who had trotted the little girl on his
knee resolved to emigrate to America,
which he did. Arriving in this
country, he proceeded to Montana
Territory, where, by good luck and
industry, he managed to amass large
fortune. Having richly filled his
Golfers, his mind reverted tenderly to
thoughts of love, and he recalled his
early vow, to some day wed the little
yellow. haired girl he used to trot to
Danburry Cross" He knew her
parents had emigrated to America, and
that they had landed in Portland.
He jourDeyed to Portland then dill
gently inquired of their whereabouts,
and learned the family was in Mexico.
Up to Oxford County he turned his
steps, and On approaching the house
where the object of his pilgrimage YVES
to live, he saw a yellow-haired maiden
on the porch.
"Does Mr. live here ?" he asked.

hair.

terected by the Scotchman.
The young lady of course thought
he was insane, and scampered off into
the house.
The Scotchman soon found the
father and mother, who Recognized
and gladly welcomed him.
"Don't you remember fifteen years
ago took your little four-year-old girl
on my knee in Scotland, and said j
meant to make her my wife?"
"On yes! remember, but not for
many years have L thought of those
happy old days"
al am here to redeem my pledge"
said the Scotchman.
"Let the girl speak for herself" said
the gentleman, choking with emotion.
1t did not take long time for the
young lady to get acquainted, mol
long for her to decide that the Scotch
man was just the man she had been
waiting for all her life.
81 want to be married at once" said
the Scotchman.
But I've just engaged to work in
lewiston" said the young lady. Then,
getting hold Of bright idea,-" have
it-Pll go down there to work, and
then I'll not like it, you know, and I'll
come back here to get married"
Down to Lewiston went the girl al
work a week was she, when she then
concluded she did not like Homework
and returned home.
Next week the parson drove up in
his twO-wheeled chase, and the twain
were made one.
The Scotchman and his young wife
are now settled happily in Iowa, where
the old folks, who have finally agreed
that truth is stranger than fiction
now comfortably pass their declining
wears.

4 hysIcian who Healed Himself.


If railroad director were dashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own physic before admins
tering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DIR. Joseph Wal
ker, of California, took this course
when he first compounded the famous
Vinegar Bitters which now rank as an
inestimable household remedy in all
parts of the United States. He healed
himself with this specific before he Of
fered it to the world. He introduced it
with simple statement of the manner
in which he had discovered its vegeta-
BILE ingredients and been cured, while
wandering, sick and poor, among the
California tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself, and a
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, believed
him, tried the new restorative and were
more than satisfied with the results.
In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bit
tiers began, and we mention the fact as
an evidence that in this age of intelli-
gence and inquiry, nothing that is really
valuable to mankind can prove a pecu-
mary failure-even though it may lack
the help of capital, and have to fight its
way against powerful opposing inter-
ests. Within two or three months after
its introduction, the article became self
supporting, and it now yields magnifi-
cent annual revenue.
