IT frequently happens that farm will
not divide well among children; there is
trouble in making an equitable distribu-
ton of the property In such instances it
is well to consider the subject of life in
surance For a small sum paid annually,
Il large amount of ready money may be
left to the widow or daughter at the period
of ones death; and they will be just as
independent as the sons who divide and
keep the farm. This suggestion is well
worth needing by thousands who are in
teres1ed, and we commend them to the

Vegetables in Hop Gardens.

An English writer says: 1t is well
known in the southeast of England that
the hops are planted in rows, the hillocks
being usually six feet apart; and that, as
they do not bear Il crop worth picking
until the third year, it is customary to
grow beans or some other vegetable be
tween the rows during the first year, and
in some places during the second year
also, so that the land should give some
little return, instead of being protitless for
those two years. l was lately passing
across hop ground in which the hops
had just been picked, and | noticed in
one field that the hillocks of hops had
been planted at the usual distance from
each other, but that the rows were twelve
instead of six feet apart, and that the in
tervening ground was occupied either by
cucumbers, or by double row of Brus-
sells sprouts, or by three rows of straw
berries. We all know how uncertain is
the crop of hops, and that partial or
complete failure of the hop crop is by no
means uncommon. Therefore | could not
help thinking that this conversion of one
half of the hop garden into a vegetable
garden was a wise and prudent arrange
ment for securing a certain return from
the land every wear

a PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED UIMsELF.-If a
railroad director were dashed to every locomo
tive there would be fewer railroad accidents,
and if doctors had to take their physic
before administering it to their patients, fewer
people would be poisoned Dr. Joseph Walker
of California, took this course when he first
compounded the famous Vinegar Bittcrs,
which now rank inestimabe household
remedy in all parts of the United States. He
healed himself with this specific before he offer
ed it to the world. He introduced it with sim
pie 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 done for himself and few
sufferers from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheuma-
tism, lung diseases, and many other prevalent
disorders, believed him, tried the new restora-
tive and were more than satisfied with the re
suits. In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bit
tiers began, and mention the fact is an evil
dence that in this age of intelligence and in
quiry, nothing that is really valuable TO man
kind can prove a pecuniary failure-even
though it may lack the help of capital, and
have to fight its way against powerful oppos-
ing interests. Within Two or three months
after its introduction, the article became self
supporting, and it now yields magnificent
annual revenue.

about finished and the bridges and

have been effected for iron sufficient
to equip the track already graded,
and that this work will soon be COM
menced,
The assistant engineer, Wagd in,
witha corps of assistance, have been
for some time making preliminary
surveys in the vicinity of Platteville,
and looking over the country with
a view of determining on the most
practicable route by which to get
out of Platteville, and they hav 9

of running a narrow gauge railroad
from Plattevile to Madison. The

will be from Platteville up the Platte
