There is nothing more disheartening than ner-
vous debility. IN extreme cases of this class the
sufferers do not care whether they live or die A
feeling of hopelessness comes over them and in
some instances where the threatening symptoms
are not met by prompt and proper treatment luna
cy or idiocy ensues. Yet nervous debility is not a
dangerous complaint if wisely dealt with medi.
Gated stimulant is the remedy needed. and in Hos
letters Stomach Bitters this specific for the COM
plant is presented in its pr1rest and most potent
form. Nervous disease is usually complicated with
other ailments 1t frequently involves biliousness.
constipation, Irregularities of the bowels indiges-
ton and great mental depression In the spring of
the year, owing to the effect Of chilling fogs search
ing winds and. other unhealthy atmospheric phe-
nomena, upon the external nerves, persons who are
subject to nervous affections often suffer acute
distress, both of body and mind from this cluse.
1t IS, therefore, advisable for all who are liable to-
these troubles, and to the other bodily ills above
mentioned, which frequently accompany them,
to commence the regular of Hostetfer's Bitters
early in the season. The severe nervous and bill
ious attacks with which they might otherwise be
visited, can by this means be certainly avoided. As
a nervne, gentle aperient and anti-bilious medi-
cine, the Bitters have no equal. "

Eaisfn snrir,. Chickens.

About the most profitable part of in the
mana cement of a poultry yard is the rails
ing of spring chickens. Though the labor
is considerable more in the needed care
involved in the earliness Of the season,
yet the prices are corresponding to the
labor The subject is important enough
to elicit ON exhaustive article of some ten
columns in the Exchange and Market, by
Miss E. Watts, from which we extract the
following:
"With regard to feeding of fowls for the
table, much depends on circumstances
Spring chickens may be put up for feed
ing as soon as the hen ceases to regard
them, and before they lose their first con-
dition. Intheir Advantageous they will
have no opportunity of picking up1Iittle
pebbles; their mills, therefore, will be in
operative, and the diet must consequently
be pultaceous, viz bread and milk, bar
leymeal. or oatmeal and milk, the meal of
steamed potatoes mixed with barleymeal
Some recommend the occasional addition
of a few grains cf cayenne pepper, or of
dried nettleseeds, which the foreign feed
ers are in The habit of giving. Where
chickens have the run of good farmyard.
and plenty of food, it is a work of super
erogation to pen them for fattening they

their flesh being in its healthy state will
be sweet and juicy, delicately tender, and
sufficiently fat. Some indeed, prefer tat

three weeks confinement and feeding will
suffice. Many breeders give suet mixed
with farinaceous food very largely, a
diet upon which the fowls fatten rapidly.

HOW common is the announcement
thousands are suddenly swept into eternity
by this fatal malady. This disease generally
has its origin in impure blood filed with ir-

slight, producing little palpitation or ire

comes firmly seated, and Inflammation, or

brane of the valves, is produced. How wise
to give early attention to case of this kind.

Crude Carhoiic Acid.

The American Agriculturist devotes
some space IN an article from a correspond
ent on crude carbolic acid in explaining
its medicinal virtues. Without doubt this
chemical is highly valuable, as tbeunitcd
testimony ofnumerous correspondents has
attested. For sheep it can be used for
the extirpation of The hoof rot by apply
ing tito the hoof with a brush. In regard
to the removal Of ticks it says: =,
.a" As a dip for killing sheep, or to pre-.
vent or cure saab, we prefer to use carbol-
&c soap, but we have several times used a
weak ISOLATION Of crude carbolic acid in
warm water. We cannot give definitely
the proper proportion Of acid to water, for
the reason thatthe crude acid varies,con-
slderabiy. II can be used strong enough
to Kill many of the ticks Instantly, and
make all Of them very sick. In our own
case we judge of its strength by dipping
the finger into it and applying it to the
tongue. 1t should be strong enough to
sting the tongue for a few seconds, and
then pass off without leaving any unpleas.
ant sensations. Half pint of crude
acid in a twelve quart pail of water will
probably be found strong enough to- in
stantly kill the ticks. And this should be
the proportion we should use where. as at
this season of the year, we poured the
liquid on to the sheep instead of dipping
them. For dipping, we should not use
quite as much at frst-adding little
more acid after few sheep had been dip
ped. The most impor ant point is to be
very careful to thoroughly mix the acid
with the water. Unless this is done with
great care, the acid will swim on the sur
face OF the water, rim small globules in
the water, and the first sheep that is dip.
ped Will get more than his due proper
tom
Having used it On other animals, and
also on poultry in the extinction of lice,
he condenses some recipes as follows:
" For lice on pigs good plan is to rub
the pigs all over with soft soap, and then
wash them with carbolic acid water, as
strong or little stronger than above re-
commended for sheep. 81. .- o.
For lice ON cattle, the same method NAV
be adopted with or without the soap. We
should apply the carholic acid water with
a sponge, and see that every hair and
every part of the skin was wet.
For lice on dogs, the dog may be either
dipped all over, except his nose, eyes and
ears, or washed first with soap and then
with carb0lic acid water.
If our hens were afflicted with lice, we
should be inclined to dip them also,
though we have never done so, owing to
be tact that we use carbolic acid freely
in our hen house, sprinkling strong So
luton Of it about the floors, nests, ETC.,
and washing the roosts with the strong
crude acid applied with a paint brush, and
nave never, since we adopted this practice,
been troubled with lice.n
he recommends it as disirfectant, but
cautions the use of it in milk cellars, as it |
lets upon the cream. As diSinfectant it |
prevents fermentation, decomposition, and |
thus neutralizing the torma-
ion OF deleterious gases and rendering
hem innoXious.

Hheat-Evinter-Ki ilin g and rTiiiering.
On the above subjects the New York
Tribune says:
Winter killing is constantly complained
of by farmers without causes being accu-
rately known. When sown deep, whe 1T
produces but few roots. When the ground
freezes and thaws many times, these roots
are broken, thus depriving the plant of nee
essary nourishment and support, when it
either dies or only maintains a poor, sickly
growth. Sometimes wheat is thrown en-
tirely ont of the ground, whenit is sure to
perish. The natural remedy is good
covering of snow; but seasons occur when
no snowy blanket falls. The artificial
remedy is understanding and if well
done it MAY be pronounced efectual
against winter-killing.
One of the maryels of the wheat plant
is that known as tillering. 1t is the Sc
cret of its great productiyeness. Many
experiments have been made to ascertain
the limits of this faculty, and the results
have been truely wonderful. An Eng
lish gentleman sowed a few grains of red
wheat June 2, one of the plants of which
had filtered so much by the 9Th of august
that he then divided it into eighteen
others, all of which were planted separ.

had again multiplied their stalk, that he
had set out sixty-seven altogether to go
through the winter. With the spring
growth all these began tillering, SO that in
March and April a new division was
made and the plants increased to 500. It
was believed that another division might
have been made and that it would have
increased the number to 2,0N0. The 500
grew most vigorously exceeding plants as
ordinarily cultivated. When harvested
a single plant yielded over 100 ears, and
the whole number of ears produced was

plant; the grain measured three and one

product Of a single grain of wheat. '

4 Marine Monster.

The London Daily Telegraph gives
an interesting description of the new
English War-ship Devastation That
far as she has been tried, is now adj
mitted. The ponderous monster, which
squats upon the astonished waters with
dead weight of ten thousand tons,
takes any ordinary waves with stolid
indifference, whether she receives thern
end on, or upon bow, beam, or quarter.
The pTodigious hill of foam which her
stern piles up when under way, washes,
assWas expected, clean over her forward
deck, and she is often submerged aft
but her massive midsection rides quiet
~ enough, and those on board her
when anchored III the rolling tide-way,
say that she was steadier than the house
ashore. She turns with great readiness
and in a small circle, and her speed, as
proved In six trials along the measured
mile, is not only equal to the promise
OF her designers, but it exceeds expec,
tation. @ - -rar yHHsl 7#i aEa

The machinery consists of fourteen en-
