The summer sunshine that clothes the earth with
luxuriant vegetation, evaporates a vast amount Of
crude, unwholesome moisture from its surface
which, mngling with the air in the form of me;
phitic gases, produces variety of febrile and
other diseases. The body being debitated by the
warmth of the season, and the pores being wide
open. gaping as it were for the seeds of sickness
any infectious principle that may exist in the at
mosphere is readily received into the system when
it bears baneful fruit in the shape of malarious
fever, bfiousness, diarrhea, dysentery collie sick
ness at the stomach. headache, or nervous pros
tration. In order to prevent these yisiauons. put
the system in a condition to resist all morbid in
-fiuences. Brace the inner man with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the purest invigorant and the
most invncible antagonist of all causes of disease
whether presentin the air we breathe, the watei
we drink. or connected with our mama of life OF
the nature of our pursuits, that science has yet
given to the world. The experience OF twenty five
years has taught On observant people that this UNI
exceptionabIe and agreeable tonic and alternative
possesses preventive and remedial virtues that are
shared by no other medicine of the present age
II has taught them also that while it is infinitely
more efficient than any of the poisonous aIkaloids
prescribed tonics, it is absolutely and entirely
harmless.

by a Hillsdale bank, and another for $40
i'll Cleveland, this State. 1t is expected
that from this time forward these bogus
checks will be turning up in various parts
of the country, and all persons should
give them wide berth The checks pur-
port to be of the Eaton County Savings
Bank of Eaton Rapids, Mich, and are
drawn on the Fourth National Bank of
New York. 1t is perhaps unnecessary to
add by way of conclusion that there is no
such institution as the Eaton County
Savings Bank in existence"

JUST TAKEN HIS BITTERs.-We heard n
scedy looking individual with an alarmingly
red nose remark to a brother soakcr that he
had ''just had his bitters, but he did not mind
taking another nip" His remark suggested Il
train of reflection. How was it, asked our
selves, that the word ''bitters'' had grown to
be a synonym for gin, whisky, rum, and other
alcoholic stimuants, TO which it was applied
indiscriminately. Bitters, reasoned, sug-
gested the idea of healthful tonic, not of II
poisonous stimulant; something invigoratng
to the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full of
fusel OIL producing present intoxication and
ultimate insanity, idiocy, premature death.
Moreover, our idea of btters totally
irreconciable with "gin cocktails "rum
punches" and brandy smashes," which, we
are Informed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences col
| ored by means of mineral poison. This was
bitter-sweet with vengeance. We mentioned
this problem to a friend. He solved it by ex-
claiming: "Why, don't you know that most
of these btters advertised as remedies are only
drains in disguiser Topers know it, if you do
not. | must make one exception, however,

not divide well among children; there is

it is well to consider the subject of life in

Bark Lice.

IT is very easy to destroy bark lice.
The little oyster-like scale was last year
the living insect-a white louise so small
as to be almost microscopic, with just
enough vitality to move a little from its
parent nest, and there fix itself, growing
eight or ten times larger, by means of a
viscous fluid eXuding from its body, and
finally hardening into the scale now COW
ering from one to two dozen eggs, looking
like white dust. A little watching with
fihe aid of a pocket magnifier, which every
farmer ought to own and carry with him,
will enable the observer to tell when
they are Matched out and moving, which,
in this latitude, AZ 80, and elevation above
tide-water 1,225 feet, is about the Goth of
June. AT any time after this, and before
they are fixed to the bark, or are too much
grown and hardened, nothing more expen-
sive than soap suds from a Mondays
washing is needed for their complete de-
StructiOn- In my own experience, one
thorough washing with soft soap suds has
always sufficed to kill them all, and re-

Lime and Salt Mixtures-Professor
johnson recommends for fertilizing pur-
poses to mix one bushel of salt and two
bushels of dry lime under cover, and allow
the mixture to decompOse gradually, thus
forming an intimate chemical union of the
two materials. For this purpose the mix
ture should be made at least six weeks be
fore use, or still better, two or three
months, the heap mentioned being turned
over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of TWEEN
ty or thirty bushels per acre, forms an ex
cellent top dressing for many crops. 1t
acts powerfully on the vegetable matter
of soils; fifty-six bushels applied to tur-
min crOD have DrOtlucetl as LARGE a crOn
as barn-yard manure 1t is also very de
structive to grubs and other insects in the
soil. Like salt, it attracts moisture from
the air, and is useful against droughts
Its decomposing power is remarkable, and
if three or four bushels of it are mixed
with a load of swamp muck, the latter
will be reduced to powder.
