WILLY by THE brook.

Willy lay by the dImpling brook
Where the sun had lain before;
And, strange 70 say, when its place he
took 49,
The spot just frightened the more.
The birds were singing in the blue
A song that was Ike a hymn;
While the baby ducklings, two by two,
Strayed into the water TO swim.
@Heighol" sighed Willy, ~ cannot ny,
Nor even so much rs float;
And as for singing like robins, why
never could raise note
''But can play on my pipe" said he;
And soon the music came
SO clear and sweet 80 blithesome free
That It put the birds TO shame.
The baby ducklings softly splashed,
The robins yet harder tried,
The sprfnkled grass In sunlight flashed
As II nodded by WHY'S side.
And, before he knew, he was floating frei
On sparkling river Of thought;
While the birds In the air came down Il
see
What wonder the pipe had wrought.
And stIll the music softly rose,
Still willy was floating free
And the little ducks with their funn!
toes,
Were happy rs happy could be.

The Career of n Great Remedy.


Twenty summers have elapsed since it was
briefly announced that a new vegetable tonic and
alternative, bearing the name of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, had been added to the list of Pre-
ventive and Restorative medicines. The modest
advertisement which invited attention to the
preparation stated that it had been used: with
great success, in. private practice, as a cure for
intermittent fever. 1t was soon discovered that
the article possessed extraordinary properties.
The people, Of every class, tested its merits as a
tonic, stimulant, corrective and restorative, and
found that its effects more than fulfilled their
hopes and expectations. From that time to the
present its course has been upward and onward,
and it stands to-day at the head of all medicines of
its class, American or imported, in the magnitude
of its sales and its reputation as a safe, agreeable
and potent invigorant and restorative. For
languor and debility, lack of appetite and gastric
disturbances, SO common during the summer
months, it is absolutely infalhble. Indigestion,
bilious disorders, constipation, nervousness,
fevers, and all the ordinary complaints
by a Initiated and humid atmosphere,
vanish under it's renovation and regulating infiu-
This is its record, avouched by volumes of
testimony extending over a period of

Of thousands of wellknown citizens belonging to
every class and calling. In Europe it is thought a

been spontaneously approved by millions of indie
sovereigns, and its patent consists in

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If a railroad director were dashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own physic before administer
ing it to their patients, fewerpeople would
be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walker, of
California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters which 10Y rank as an inestima-
BILE household remedy in all parts of the
United States. He healed himself with
this specific before he offered it to the
world. He introduced it with a simple
statement of the manner in which he
had discovered its vegetable ingredients
and been cured, while wandering, sick
and poor, among the California tribes.
He stated what the preparation had
lone for himself and a few sufferers
from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheuma-
tism, lung diseases, and many other
prevalent disorders, believed him, tried
the new restorative and were more than
satisfied with the results. In this way
the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began,
and we mention the fact as an evidence
that in this age of intelligence and in
quiry, nothing that is really valuable to
mankind can prove a pecuniary failure
even though it may lack the help of
capital, and have to fight its way against
powerful opposing interests. Within
two or three months after introduction,
the article became self-supporting, and
it now yields a magnificent annual
revenue Com.

Best Time to Paint Houses.

The T~echnologist says: The best
ings is late in autumn or during the
winter. Paint then applied Will endure
twice as long as when applied in early
summer or in hot weather. In the for
mer it dries slowly and becomes hard,
like a glazed surface, not easily affected
by the weather or worn off by the beat
ing of storms. But in hot weather the
oil in the paint soaks into the wood at
one a into a sponge, leaving the lead
nearly dry and nearly ready to crumble
off. The last difficulty, however, might
in a measure be guarded against,
though at an increased expense, by first
going over the surface with raw oil. BY
painting in cold weather one annoyance
might certainly be escaped-namely,
the collection of flies on the fresh paint.

keep in the steam until cooked. When
rightly done, it comes from the steamer

To Clean Looking-G1nsses.

Wash thoroughly a piece of soft
sponge, and remove all gritty particles
from it dip it lightly into waser,
squeeze it out again, and then dip it
into some spirits of wine rub it over
the glass, dust it with some powdered
blue or whiting sifted through muslin ;
remove it lightly and quickly with a
clean cloth, and finish with a silk hand
kerchief. If the glass be a large one,
clean one-half at a time, otherwise the
spirits of wine will dry before it can be
removed. If the frames are gilt, the
greatest care must be taken to prevent
the spirits of wine from touching them.
To clean such frames, rub them well
with a little dry cotton wool this will
remove all dust and dirt, without injury
to the gliding. IF the frames are var
they may be rubbed with the
of wine, which will take out all
the spots and give the varnish a supe-
rior polish.

A New TREATMENT OF CANCERs.-The
attention of the medical world abroad
has been aroused by the new treatment
of cancer, introduced in London by a
Hungarian physician named Grob. He
contends that cancer is not a local but
a general disease /; that it arises from the
presence of a poison in the system ;
that the knife will never cure the dis
ease, but only postpone its fatal effects.
His remedy consists in setting up an
other disease-fever-under the infiu-
ence of which the blood poison, which
causes the n is thrown off. 1t is
said that he has made some marvellous
Cures.

Choosing Matching Eggs.

Eggs for Matching should be chosen
of the fair average size usually laid by
the hen they are from ; any unusually
large or small being rejected. Some
hens lay large eggs and others small
n A fat hen will always lay small
eggs, which can only produce small and
weakly chickens. Absolute size in eggs
is, therefore, of but little Importance.
Round, short eggs are usually the best
to select /; very long eggs, especially If
much pointed at the small end, almost
always breed birds with some awkward
ness in style of carriage. Neither
should rough-shelled eggs be chosen !;
they usually show some arrangement of
the organs, and are often sterile.
Smooth-shelled eggs are alone proper
for Matching. 1t is a farce to suppose
that the sex of a bird can be determined
by the shape of the egg.

The Growing CrOps-A F~lattering
Outlook.

The following is the official report of the
Agricultural Department on the condition of
the grain crop, as telegraphed from Washing
ton on the 9th June:
Whedt-Thew winter wheat is mostly harvest
ed. OF 1853 counties from which reports have
been received, 202 are above the average, 1853
average, and 3S1 below. OF 300 counties re-
age, lis average, and 6S below. The average
winter wheat is somewhat increased, though
many fields have been winter-killed and plowed
up for spring wheat and other crops. The
average spring wheat is very largely increased,
and especially in the Northwest is unusually
promising. The indications of the crop of 1878
1872, when the Department estimated the pros
pective crop at 900, 600, 900 bushels. The sub
sequent conditions of growth raised the first
estimate of the year, in the annual report OF
1872. not yet published, to 249, 997, 020 bushels.
With equally favorable conditions the yield
may be safely set down at $50, 00O, 600 bushels.
Insect ravaSes, however, are reported in spring
wheat, indicating serious loss in some local
tiles.
Odts-An increased average and an i'm
proved yield of oats are indicated in the ma
jority of the States. The maximum condition,
113, is found in Virginia, and the minimum,
SO, in California.
Rye-Twenty-four States report an increas-
ed, and ten a decreased, average. OF winter
the average, two an average, and the remain
der below. The maximum condition, ITO, is
in California, and the minimum, 80, in Illinois.
Spring rye is reported in only ten States the
maximum condition, 1OS, in Kansas, and the
minimum, 70, in Indiana.
Bdrley-The condition of winter barley
varies from IS in Kentucky to 10S in Kansas.
1t ranges from So in Indiana to ia in Mis-
souri,.
There are no returns of hops.
THE PROSPECT IN THE NORTHWEST.
The Chicago Times Publishes reports from
different points in each of the Northwestern
States showing the condition and prospects of
the crops. The advices are of a very encour-
aging character, and indicate that the yield of
most kinds of grain, and especially that of
wheat, will be considerably above the average
product.
THE MICHIaAN FRUIT PROSPECT.
Michigan fruit-growers report to the State
Pathological Society, in session last week, that
they expect much less than an average yield.
The crop in the st. Joe peach region will be
one-third less than usual.

Tender-Footed Horses.

An old man who has had much expe-
rience in handling and dealing in horses
for more than half a century said to me
recentlythat he had never known a horse
to get "tender-footed" that was kept
loose ip a shed and yard, or in a box
stall. That turning round and treading
with their forward feet in the manure
kept them constantly moist and soft.
His theory appeared perfectly reasona
bic to me. 1 have no box stalls, but L
s shavings for bedding, and every
morning with a large shovel I nov the
wet shavings under the horse forward,
in front of and under his forward feet.
and then the last thing at night cover
these with dry shavings for him to lie
on. He also remarked that he had
never known a f~at-iooted horse but
what was a great worker.-Cor. Jour-
nal of Farm.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Sell the

1t is q very natural and excusable
weakness in a breeder of fine stock, that
he believes his own is a little better
than his neIghbor's, and that his own
estimate is higher than the publc's. 1t
is not a profitable weakness, however, if
INDUCED in too far. A special pride in
ones own is a good thing, but the mer-
chant who refuses to sell the last piece
of a particular kind of goods for fear of
breaking his assortment, and the breed
er of fine stock who places too high an
estimate upon his young ones and re-
fuses to concede anything, until his
farm is overstocked, his stock suffering
for want of proper care, and his means
exhausted, fall into the same error,
though not with the same excuse. The
most successful merchants, manufactur-
ers and producers, as q rule, are those
who meet the market with what they
lave for sale, when it is ready. Look
ing over the breeders of fine stock in
this country, one is struck with the fact
that the freest sellers are the most pros
porous. A positive sale, once a year,
with open, fair competition, tests the
operations of a breeder in the crucible
of public opinion, and, properly consid-
cred, is the most valuable aid to his own
Judgment that q can possibly have. 1t
helps to reduce his notions as to their
cash value, and supplies what his own
pride of judgment disables him from OBJ
tanning in any other manner, a standard
by which he must sell, and in reference
to which he must breed or do worse.
The best evidence of success in breed
ing is a spirited competitive sale of reg
ular surplus products-not cull-and no
large breeder of fine stock can be quite
sure he is moving in the right direction
until he has that Endorsement /; and if,
on trial, he meets with no such success,
he cannot make a new departure or
break up the business too soo To
meet the merket if the result proves
you are on the right course, go ahead
if not, tack about-but SeM.-Prairie
