LET Us CONSIDER. Since the intro
ductlon of diStiiicd spirits in the Six
teentL Century, they have been habit
ually prescribed as remedies. We know
that alcohol, in all it's forms, is PERM.
cjous to health. knOtOiHg these things,
and that under the system of treatment
which includes their use, the mortality
among the sick is, ana ever has been,
enormous. is II not worth while TO try
the effect of remedy which combines
in their highest excellence the qualities
of tonic, an Alternative and reeula-
tor contains no mineral bane or muir
derous alkaloid or alcoholic poison;
does its curative office without pam
and with uniform certainty? DIR.

these conditions, aud is now efi'ecting
the most extraordinary cures, in cases
where every "specilic of the faculty

Teaching Gardening as an Art.

We find the following very credita-
BILE article going the rounds of the
papers uncredited. We make room for
it on account OF its intrinsic merit.
Touching this subject, S. b. Parsons
writes: Gentlemen of large income,
with country places, the proper man
agement of which would give more
pleasure to a whole family than any
thing else, are unwilling to pay more
than 81, 900 per year for good gar
dener, whose knowledge is the work of
lifetime. They will give $4,000 to a
bookkeeper. whose knowledge can be
acquired in year; they will expend
one to five thousand dollars IN a
cancels hair shawl or pair of horses,
and yet would think themselves very
extravagant if they gave $4,000
per year to skillful gardener, who
could produce for their use, Muscat
grapes and all other luscious fruits,
and who could make their grounds and
gardens like a veritable paradise.
Once establish the fact that a skillful
gardener can be sure of 81, 900 or 50, 600
per year, and numerous young men
would give their education that direc-
ton. Wealthy men, also, who expect
to leave their sons large fortune,
would give their sons horticultural
education, both as means of producing
enjoyment for themselves and as a
profession upon which TO fall back in
case of disaster. Young men so edu-
Gated will never become base; the
world is for them too full of delightful
capabilities.

Desirable QuaIt,iestunp,y

OF all the desirable qualities in n
pig, a vigorous appetite is of the FIRST
importance. A hog that will not eat is
of no more use than mill that will
not grind. Aud it is undoubtedly true
that the more a pig will eat, in proper
ton 30 size, provided he can digest and
assimilate it, the more profitable he
will prove.
The next desirable quality is, per-
haps, quletness of disposition. The

tougher and less palatable it becomes.
This quality, quietness of DISPOSE.
ton, combined with small amount of
useless parts, or offal, has been the aim
OF all modern breeders. Its importance
will be readily perceived if we assume
that 70 per cent. of food is ordinarily
consumed to support the vital func-
tlons, and that the slight additional
demand of only one-sixh more food is
required for the extra ofial parts and
unnecessary activity.

Intelligent farmers know, or should
know, that it will not do to pillow
eight inches deep when the surface soil
was only six This may be done in the
course of time. but not mt once. To
make n good, deep soil, the progress
downward should be gradual. Let Il
proper portion of the subsoil be
brought to the surface and exposed to
the action of the sun, rain, wind and
frost, then add the measure nccessasy
TO render it fertile. BY pursuing this
plan for successive years u fertile soil
can be made-One that will resist the
effects of severe droUths and be fitted
also for the successful culture of all
ordinary crops. By this means the
mineral constituents OF the subsoil be-
come thoroughly intermixed with the
soil of the surface, which in conse-
quence of oft repeated shallow plow-
ings has been depleted of them.
To make good soil by this method,
the blowing should be done in the sum
mer and fall, IN order that the newly
turned-up subsoil may be subjected
to the ameliorating influences of the
heat and showers of summer and win
ter's freezing and thawing. But after
all this is done it will be found that
good crops cannot be produced unless
there is liberal application of
manure. Plow deep and manure gen.
erously and you will have good soil
and bountiful yield. 1t is bad policy
to pillow deep when there is only
a thin stratum of mould or mellow
soil, and to bury this mellow portion
far beneath the surface.

Having Cows Come in In the Fan.

1t is worth considering whether it
would not be good plan for some
farmers who milk half dozen or more
cows, making butter for sale, to change
the usual plan and have their cows
calve about September LIST. There is
certainly something in favor of such u
plan, 1t would give fair butter pro.
duction during the time when prices
are the highest, the quantity produced
diminishing at the time when prices
are declining in spring, and during
July and August, when the price for
butter is low, when it is difficult to
make good butter, when the farmer
family is especially busy with the ha :
vest work, and when the pastures are
parched by drouth, the cows would be
having their annual rest from milk
giving.
The time suggested for calving would
not be so good if the calves were to be
raised-as they are ordinarily treated
and they would require good treatment
during the winter if the plan was to be
made successful. -Fdpn1ers Union.
