An ENTERPRIsING FIRM-Our numer-
Gus readers are familiar with the names of
the well-known proprietors of those popu-
lar remedies-Allen' Lung Balsam and
Perry DAVIS Pain Killer-Messrs, j. n.
Harris Il Co, of Cincinnati. Their at
traetlve advertisements have appeared III
| our advertising columns during the past
eighteen months, with the best of rusults.
Our people have been made acquainted
with the superiority of Aliens Lung Bal
sam and Perry Davis Pain Killer over all
other remedies, and in consequence their
sales have steadily increased throughout
this entire section. Our experience with
the Lung Balsam for colds and coughs has
been of the most satisfactory Character
so efficient, indeed, have we found it, aftel
repeated trials in our family, that W,
have discarded Ayers Cherry Pectora
and all other similar remedies. We ar,
satisfied that it is the best remedy for al
affections of the throat and lungs befor
the public, and most cordially commend
to those who may be afflicted. The Pal
Killer enjoys national reputation Of owe
a quarter of century s duration as tn
leading remedy for pains, cuts, bruises
&c, in America, and has come largei
into use as remedy for chills.

state is so various and our hill farms 50 UNI

machinery cannot be attained. As the in

of fodder grown for stock On wet or moist

twenty loads per acre of well rotted manure,

fields are small and steep, and machinery
cannot be used to advantage, the true way is

Some desultory discussion followed, in re.
gard to the various improved ways of setting
milk. A great deal of interest was mani.
tested in this matter. In the various papers
upon dairying which will appear in the
FARMER during the next few weeks this sub
ject will be very fully gone INTO. After a
highly interesting and crowded series Of
meetings, day and evening, the assembagC
was dissolved, great numbers expressing
their hearty satisfaction.
