eSar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
MIA, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrOm without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked. "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT
TERS?" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life giving principle,
perfect Renovation and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BITTERS in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgativo as well as q Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation OF
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of DR.. WALKER's
VINEGAR BITTERs are Aperient, DiapIoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter Irritant, Sudorific, Altera-
tive, and Ambitious.

apples, pumpkins, squashes, should be
first given, and, if cooked, have added
to them meal and bran, the more readily
will they fatten. Soft corn, as husked
out, NAV then be added TO their messes.
Although we cannot hope to induce many
to attend to the process OF cooking, still
we have reason to believe that even sup
plying ungrOund corn IN this condition
will result in a saving of a fourth of the
food requisite. And, while treating on
the hog question, we would add a recipe,
given by veterinary surgeon, for the
prevention of hog cholera, by which dis
ease large numbers of the swnish multi
tude have been taken off before their
proper time, much to the damage of
their owners. If access is had to the fallen
fruit of the orchard, the acid in the fruit
will be found of much advantage to the
pigs, as well as to the orchard itself, mas
much as they will destroy the curculio
and other insects, which cause.-The fruit to
fall before ripening But if the disease,
Notwithstanding all precautions, does
make its appearance, it is recommended
to give the animals an emetic, consisting
of a few grains of powdered white helle-
bore or veratrum album, given as soon as
the first indications of sickness make
their appearance, which is frequently of
great service in checking the morbid pro-
cess. Inc uOSe Is from TWO 10 twenty
grains, according to the age and size of
the animal, and may be repeated every
half or three-quarters of an hour, till the
desired effect (vomiting) has taken place
The best mode of giving it is to strew it
on the surface of q small quantity of
milk, or to mix it with piece of boiled
potato-either of which will be taken vol
UNFAIRLY by the patients, unless the disease
has advanced too far already, so that any
appetite is wanting, in which case it may
be mixed with little flour, and be admin
istered in the form of small, round pills.
After the patient has vomited, the further
treatment has to be according to circum-
stances. In most cases a slight physic OF
a few grains of calOmel-two to twenty
grains dose-mixed with a piece of boil
ed potato, or made into pills with a little
flour and water, will be all that is needed.
Drenches should not be given under any
circumstances, for the drenching itself is
frequently much more dangerous than the
disease against which it is intended to op-
crate The food, if the sick animal should
desire to eat, should be easily digestible,
and be given only in small quantities.
Admixing few grains of carbolic acid
with each meal may have good results
at least it deserves trial When the dis
ease has SO far progressed as to have af-
fected the organic system, the animal had
better be put out of the way at once, for
even if it RECEIVERS, it will never regain a
constitution which will make it an object

Fattening Animals Gradually.

Every farmer. who makes the feeding
of animals an important part of his bust
ness ought to know that their unremitting
growth is the only true and successful
way of treating them. This is the course
which the most successful pork-raisers
pursue in feeding their hogs regularly and
fully through winter and summer, till
they are sufficiently fat in the autumn.
Many intelligent persons are accustomed
to suppose that poor animals may, in a
short time, be changed into fat ones by
stuffing them with rich food. The more
food they can make them take in a day or
a week the quicker they suppose, they
will become fat and fit for the market
But this is a false opinion, as experiments
clearly show. The overlooking is always
wastetul; for after the animals gain but
little fat, and the owners begin to think
that the fattening of them for market is
an Improbable business. An owner may
withhold the proper quantity of food from
his hogs and cattle, and even half starve
them for months; and then may change
his mode of treating them, and glut them
with excessive food, and thus hope rapidly
to put them into fat condition; but the
attempt will prove abortive, as the growth
of the animals from the earliest period of
their existence, and their increasing in
fat and flesh must continue on without
luptioii
Careful observations prove that the
profits of raising and fattening cattle and
hogs are realized only when they are
regularly fed from day to day with neither
too scant nor too heavy feeding. Some
object to this mode of treating their AMI
mails. They wish to finish the fattening
process in two or three months, and think
it is too expensive to continue it for two
or three years. This would be the case if
their way of feeding was the correct one
but it is not, for heavy feeding is not
requisite to keep up the continued grow
ing condition of the animals.
We have in mind an observing farmer
living in Central New York who carefully
weighed all the animals he was fattening
every week. To a fine steer he gave daily
four quarts of barley meal, and he found
the increase in its weight to be ten pounds
per week. lie then tried the experiment
of giving il eight quarts per day, and he
found the weekly increase of eight was
less than when four quarts were given.
Twelve quarts were now given daily, and
at the end of the week there was no gain
Of flesh.
These facts teach all persons who feed
domestic animals that there is such a
thing as feeding their stock so largely or
heavily that the profits will be less than if
the stock were to receive smaller allow
ances. when a portion of the feed passes
away without having been digcstcd it is Il
reliable Indication that feed is not con
sumed rs profitably as it should bc-Ncio

An Annoying Predicament.

An old lady who lives a little distance
from the small village of Queshy, VT,
writes friend, went to the store in that
place few days ago for a pot of paint,
with which she designed ornamenting
her kitchen floor. She told the clerk,
who went down stairs to prepare the de-
coction, to put in plenty of drying ma
terial, and he honestly intended to do so,
but missing some pomatum from one
side of his moustache, the loss so annoyed
him that he omitted paying that atten-
ton to the order that it required, and, in
stead OF turpentine, poured in a generous
quantity of syrup. That evening the old
lady painted her floor, and the next
morning made an examination of it, to
test its condition. When she opened the
door, her cat, which was following, play
fully jumped into the room and then
stopped. The old lady Immediately
showed the animal, but it didn't shew
1t pulled away and tore one foot from the
floor, and sat it down again 10 pull up
another, which necessitated pulling
up the first one again. Then it
tried the experiment over again,
but with the same result. Finally it lifted
one foot, and kept it up until the other
was lifted. This gave the animal the APP
pearance of trying to stand on its head,
but its plaintive cries indicated that such
was not its purpose. While thus raised it
attempted to lift the third foot, but in SO
doing fell over and came down on its side
in the paint, and there it stuck. clawing
the air with its paws, and splitting forth
the most venOmous sounds. The old lady
got board, and laying it to the cat, sue
ceeded with some difficulty in rescuing
it. But she could not understand why
that paint should be so moist In the al
ternoon she tested the floor again with
her finger, but the paint was still sticky.
The next morning it was the same, and
also in the afternoon. The third morning
there was no improvement, nor in the
| afternoon. She was astonished. When
she touched her finger to the paint this
time she transferred the finger to her
tongue, then opened her eyes little wi
| der and tasted again. After that she pu;
| on her things, harnesscd her horse and
started for that store. And that evening
| the clerk shaved off his mustache and
buried his pomatum in the solitude of the
forest-Danbury Neus.

kernel of wheat, and, instead of being
firm and compact, is hollow, the cavity
containing glutinOus matter. While the
grain bears closer resemblance to wheat
than anything else, the straw looks more
like that of rye or barley. Its origin is
somewhat peculiar, the first grain having
been taken from the stomach of wild
goose, by a farmer in TIllamook County,
nearly three years ago. He was struck
with its appearance, and planted it, and
the succeeding season sowed the product.
He distributed portion of the second
crop among few friends in different
parts of the State, who this year raised
small quantities. 1t will require another
wear to determine the value of the grain.

Improved Method OF Administering
Medicine.

An ingenious method of administering
certain medicines, which possibly is not
entirely new, has lately been suggested
by Limousin, of Paris. This consists in
the preparation of little disks of tough,
unleavened bread, which are punched out
with a die, and embossed so AS to have a
depression in the center. in which the
medicine to be administered is placed,
and then covered with thin plate of the
same material. The name of the medi-
cine and the dose are stamped on the
disk. When needed for use, one Tor
more) of these disks is placed in tea
spoon with some water, until slightly
sottened, and it may then be swallowed
without leaving any taste of the medicine
in the mouth. 1t is claimed by the in
ventor that this method is particularly
adapted for the administration of bitter
substances, such as sulphate of quinine,
rhubarb, aloes, etc, as well as for those
that are readily alterable by the air, like
reduced iron, bromide of potassium, etc,

Careful investigation shows that only
fifty-eight per cent of our population
could possibly attend church on any
given Sunday, and the churches having
seating capacity for only fifty six per cent,
so that two per cent of our church going
population is unprovided for. There are
more than two per cent. who prefer to be
absent from church, however. The in
crease of church accommodation does not
keep pace with the increase Of population
In the East the accommodation is in ex-
cess of church goers, but the case is re
versed in the West.
