DURING THE FEVER epidemic of last mont h
the stock of Ayers Ague Cure in the old North
State became exhausted, and before supply
could be received from Lowell, The suffering
from chills and fever became fearful. A few
parties were so fortunate as to have it on hand,
and in Iredell County, the druggists eked out
their slender stocks by selling doses--aaspoon
full each-for dollar. Many paid ten dollars
for bottle, when the regular price is but one,
and thought themselves favored at that, so
valuable are the curative properties of this
preparation, which not only expels the poison
from the SYSTEM but leaves the patient with
unimpaired health and vigor.-Raleigh IN. C.)

With all the Heart.

That was a striking thing said OF
one Of the kings belonging to the Hebrew
royalty. when the work and its results
his successful reign were being summed
up: "He did it with all bis heart, and
prospered."
This doing things with hearty en-
thuslasm is often what makes the doer
marked person and his deeds effective.
1t is SO everywhere. The NEST
ordinary servire is dignifed when it is
performed in that spirit. Every employer
wants those who work for him to put
heart into toll. He soon picks out those
whose souls are in their service and gives
them evidence Of his appreciation. They
do not need constant watching. He can
trust them in his absence. The places
Of honor and profit naturally fall to them.
They are the lsing members of the toll
ing brotherhood. They grow. They
succeed. They are honored. They ore
in demand. They rebuke indifference
and inspire fidelity in others by their ex-
ample. They prosper for they work in
harmony with the law which God has
established and maintains in the world.
In the sphere of religion this heartness
IN service is especially needful and vital.
What is not done heartily here is hardly
done at all, as God estimates it.

Scis ntifie Farmer.

Scientific farming con sis is altogether
and solely in deriving she greatest pos
sible profit from the soil. Lessen the
labor and increase tie yield. is the sum
of the whole. To do this, everything,
must be done at the right time, and in
the best manner. BY draining, the
water must BE- got rid of by cultivation, :
weeds must be destroyed j.. by manure,
the soil must be enriched. by rotation Of
crops, the largest yield must be secured
by improving stock, the feed must =. be-
economical and made of mere value;
and the how-todo-al this is the sum and
substance of agricultural science. Books
on farming relate the experiments they
have made, and the results they have
attaind. Any and every farmer, who
by the use of his reasoning powers, is
enabled to raise one buShel of corn per
acre more than he has hitherto done, by
improved methods, is a scientific farmer,
however much he may disown the name
and rot only has he done good thing
for himself, but the world at large is, to
soAc extent, better for his efforts and
success his mission, as man, has been
to that extent fulfilled, and he will leave

Sheep and Wheat Crons.

We see in Wisconsin paper very
complimentary noice of Hon. Eli Stilson,
President Of the Wisconsin State Woul
Growers Association. For some years
Mr., S. has been raising fifty per cent
more wheat per acre than most Of his
neighbors, and still his farm shows no
sign of exhaustion. When asked for
information as to "what he knows about
farming" Mr.. .Stilsop invariable responds
that he knows no farmer can efford to be,
without flock of sheep. Mr.. S. has
l 800 sheep on his farm of l 100 acres,
and the yield of his land when compared
with that of many Of his neighbors, de-.
mons'rates that his sheep pay FOR their
keeping in the increased fertility of the
lands upon which they feed, leaving their
feeces clear profit to thlir owner.
There is no secret about it.. What Mr..
St''son is doing comparatively upen the
poor soil in the vicinity of Oshkosh may
be done by any farmer in the country,
from Canada to the Gulf"
