Criminal Secrecy.

The martinets of the medical profess
sion insist that it is beneath the dignity
of a regular physician to advertise. If
a member of the faculty should discover
an absolute remedy for any disease, it
would be breach of professional deco
rum to offer the specific for sale through
the journals of the day. Scorning such
preiudices- one of our leading practi-
TONERS is now making known to the
public, through the columns of over
three thousand newspapers, one of the
most comprehensive remedies for dis
ease that has ever assuaged the suffer
ings of humanity. DIR. Walkers Cali
fornia Vinegar Bitters, although COM
paratively new medicine, has already
attracted the attention of millions In
both hemispheres. 1t has been adver-

To advertising enterprise, and the result
has been the preservation of thousands
of lives, and the prevention of an untold
amount of physical torture. DIR. Walk
er thinks that the greatest good of the

medical science, and hence he steps
boldly out of the contracted circle of
professional exclusivcncss, and places
his Great Restorative within the reach

chronic dyspepsia, biliOusness, kidney
disease, govt, diseases of throat and

Deep blowing the Elixir Of Agriculture.

Longevity.

Will temperance procure long life"
Parr was an Incorporate man, vet he
lived over l56 years. Can we depend
on comfort and regularity i'm our
habits? .enkyns, who lived 169 years,
was an habitual beggar, often i'm the
greatest want of the common neces-
saries of life. Is good climate the
sure promoter of longevity? Jane
Reeve lived to the age of 10S in the
marshy county of Essex, England
Albuma Mare reached $50 i'm the sultry
interior of Ethiopia, and Drakenburg
li6 in the shivering climate of the
mountains of Norway. With such
contrasts as thesa, how can we philosO-
pbize on the subject? Yet, on the
point of regularity, We may hazard a
question. Is it not possible that Parr
might have lived longer had he been
a temperate man? Jenkyns if he had
not been subjected to such vicissitudes?
A few more instances of longevity may
he mentioned. Thomas earns died i'm
London, i'm 1858, aged 207; an instance
of longevity exceeding any other on
modern record, but well authenticated

Covering Manure.

1t is remarkable that more attention
is not given TO the subject of covering
manure from the weather, and especi-
ally from too much rain. Those who
have given the matter particular at
tention have found that manure pro
tected is worth double that which is
left out in the air. Two loads for one
is profit few farmers can afford TO
lose. There is no question which so
vitality concerns the farmer as this one
of manure: Stock is fed through the
W inter- for the. expIe ss parpOse of making
manure. Articles which scarcely pay
to send to market, are nevertheless
taken to the city in order that manure
may be brought back az return load,
and the whole OF the manure made, re-
mains all the season exposed to the sun
wind and rair5 until it is diminished
in value to so great an extent as it Is.
The trouble is that few really believe
that exposed manure undergo this loss.
But the matter has been too thorough
ly tested TO admit of a doubt. We
know first-class farmers who did not
themselves believe it, until by actual
experiment they found out its truth.
In arranging farm buildings it will
pay we'll to look as much to the preser-
walton of the manure as of the hay or
grain; and those who have their build
ings already finished without these
manurial arrangements will find that
S25 or $50 spent on boards for shed will
rank among the best Investments ever
made GeT1iGntOtJn ISIe0rdDh.

Useful Truths.

Deserve friends and you will have
them. The world is teeming with
kind hearted people, and you have
only to carry akind sympathetic heart
in YOUR own bosom to call out good
ness and frieudliness from others.
1t is mistake TO expect to receive
welcome, hospitality, words. of cheer
and help over rugged and difficult
passes in life, in return for cold selfish
ness, which cares for nothing in the
world but self.
Cultivate consideration for the feel
ings of other people, if you would new
er have your own injured. These
who complain most of ill-use are
the ones who abuse themselves and
others the Oftenest.
If life TO you is not all you would
have it, seek to make it better and
more enjoyable yourself. For at best
life if what we make it.
Employment for the mind is what
thousands of women are in need Of
After the plOdding routine re-
quired for material necessities has been
gone through with for the day, and
the tired body requires and enjoys rest
the minds of many women reach out
hungering and thirsting after intel.
lectual food. Not having that craving
satisfied is what causes unhappiness
for many whose lives seem dark and
barren.
Open the windows of your heart,
and let light into the dark, unhealthy
places you have for years dampened
with your tears.
Send disappointment to the winds
take life as it is, and with strong
will make it as near what it should be,
as possible.
Receive ut once the potent power
which will lift you above the ills of life,
in the thousands of books which can
be had in this age. Read books, pamph-
lets and newspapers,-anything use
full, instructive, amusing and full OF
lessons. Get your mind off yourself
ut somes rate, or you are doomed never
to amount TO anything, or have friend
worth having.

Health of School Children.

The medical college of Middlesex,
Massachusetts, having for long time
considered the influence of public
schools on the Lealth of children, au-
thoriZcd the publication of the following
facts as the opinions of its members:
]. No child shall be allowed to attend
school before the beginning of his sixth
year.
2. Ihc duration of daily attendance
including the time given to recess and
physical xorcises-should not exceed
four and half hours for primary
schools; five and a half for other
schools.
3. There should be no study required
out Of school-unlcss at high school,
and this should not exceed ono hour.
4. isecess-time should be devoted to
play outside the school-rooni-rInless in
stormy weather-and rs this time right
fully belongs 10 the pupils, they should
not be deprived Of it except for serious
offenscs, and those who are not deprived
of it should not be allowed to spend it
i'll study. No child should be confined
to a school-room during an entire scs-
sion. Tie minimum of recess time
should be fifteen minutes each session,
and i'll primary schools there should be
more Than one recess in each session.
8. PHYSICAL exercise should be used
i'll school Ia prevent nervous and mus
cular fatigue and relieve mouotony, but
not as muscular training. 1t should be
practiced by both teacher and children
in every hour not broken by recess, and
should he timed by music. In primary
schools every half hour should be bro
ken by exercises, recess or singing.
6. Ventilation should be amply pro-
vided for by other ioans than by open
windows, though these should be used
in addition to special mems during re-
cess and exercise time.
7. Lessons should be scrupulously
apportioned to the average capacity of
the pupils, and in primary schools the
slate should be used more and the book
less, and the instructions should be
given IT'S much as possible on the prin-
ciplc of "obiect teaching"

Characteristics of Dairy COw-Milk.
ing ShOrt-HOrns.

A correspondent in Madison county.
New York, Mr.. George HON mond,
writes to the Country Gentleman:
"What we dairymen want is a large
COW with very small, clean head, short
slim horn, very slim neck, with a true
taper from head to brisket, thin shout
ders, and tapepering very regularly to
very broad hip, coming out very
wide and square behind the thigh

excellent mixers, showing high
ShOrt-HOrn grade, aud would like a
full blood bull, of the heavy milking
stamp, to breed with them. When we
attend the fairs, the bulls on show are
such as we believe would ruin our dali
ries for a yield Of milk. Has any one
a herd of pure Short Horns, the cows
yielding from As TO 80 lbs. of milk,

our locality. We think the Ayrshires

must have more size, and COWS requir-

know there were formerly herds of
Durham cattle, which if bred to the
present time, for the largest flow of
milk, with the same skill and persist
ency as has been used in some families
for the greatest amount of food, would
be the best kind we seek.n
Considerable attention is paid TO
milking qualities i'm several Short-horn
herds-indeed, the claim to do SD is
made by so many breeders that we
cannot mention names without APP
pearing invidiOus, and at the same
time running the risk of real injustice
by errors of omission or otherwise. Our
advice to those who, like our cores
pOndent, clearly know what they want
and feel capable of Judging for them
selves, is always to visit the different
herds advertised i'm this paper or other
wise known to him, make their own
inquiries and form their own opinions,
deferring selection until as many as
possible have been visited. II this is
somewhat OF an expensive proceeding,
it may be added that the value of a
good bull in a dairy district is very
great, and ought to pay well for the
expense. We believe the search can
be made with success.

This is the time, if not already done
to sow and plant the general garden
crops of the season. No time should
be lost in doing SO, as it is supposed by
this period the warm growing weather
has fairly set In and that we are not
to be visited by severe frosts. Lima
and bush beans can be planted; Early
York cabbage set out; Horn carrot,
Satisfy, Cucumber. Parsnips, Melons,
Sugar Corn, Cabbage-Lettuce, to be
followed at the end of the month with
India or Curled, which stands the sum-
mer heat; TOratoes may be trans
planted but should be protected against
cool nights, as well rs by day from the
midday sun until they become estab-
lisbed. Celery should not be sowed
later than this week.
Keeping down the weeds and stir
ring the soil are indispensable to any
crop in the garden or field. Especial
ly should the weeds be constantly re-
moved from the Strawberry beds.
Young Asparagus beds should never
be sailed, as it is death to them.
BE careful not to fork at this time the
ground in the raspberry beds, if you
wish All additional supply of plants, as
the young shoots are beginning to
show themselves. If the beds are
mulched it should be done with care
that the young plants may not he in
jured.
The third crop of table corn should
be planted at the end of this week or
the beginning of the next. The seed
should be put in dry if the weather is
moist, aud soaked few hours if the
soil is dry.
Ckra should be planted before the
middle of the month. The seed is very
liable to rot in moist weather before it
has sprOuted.
The annual flOwer-seeds should be
now sown. The soil should be made
as fine and as mellow rs possible. The
seed should he raked under and the
bed firmly pressed with the back of
the spade. Mark each variety with a
small stake, which can be easily done
by splitting The top and sticking in the
paper which had contained the seed.
Lawns of course have had their first
moving by this time, and the moving
should be repeated every ten days il
perfection is AIMED at. OF course the
lawn mower is used. 1t is far pref
able TO the scytke-it does its work
better and quicker, and the price OF

This long established preparation has
acquired an extensive and very merito-
rious reputation. 1t is used for promo
ting the growth of and identifying the
hair, and rendering it dark and glossy.
The Cocoaine holds, in liquid form, a
large proportion of cocoanut oil, pre-
pared expressly for this purpose. No
other compound possesses the peculiar
properties which so exactly suit the va
rious conditions of the hair. 1t softens
the hair when harsh and dry, and its nat
ural adoption for infants and adults of
both sexes, or for the dressing of artif-
cial hair, has given it great renown.
