Dunnall'S Tree Bill.

We publish this week a synopsis Of
one bill in Congress. with amcndme Is
to tie timber act of last winter. A
bill introduced into the Senate provides
for 80 acres instead of 20, with less
time to plant. Mr. Phillips bill in the
House differs somcwh,t from that OF
Mr.. Danuel', but We think our repre-.
sentative has COTTON up something
more nc,rly what is needed. We
doubt, however, if it is good policy to
allow but one q larter on section to
be taken under this act. One-half of
the land in the vicinity Of our railroads
cannot be improved by such law, SO
there will be only 40 acres planted for
every 1880, unless others take hold Of
the matter, which is not likely to be
the case, judging the future by the
past We think at least two sections
should be allowed, and if it is found
that We are in danger Of having too
much forest on our broad prairies, it
might be regulated in few years.
Many persons have plowed only a
few burrows where they intend to plant
their trees Some provisions ought to
be made for this plan, as forest can
be grown few years more easily by
not breaking the whole tract, unless
other crops are raised on the same
ground
1t seems as though some provisions
could be made to cover such cases, and
we found many such out on the prai.
ries during the past summer.-Press
SHR1NKAGE OF GRA1N.-The writer
had quantity carefully measured, and
put iu sacks. It remained in the cool
barn in this way for three months.
When the sacks were first filled, the
mouths could be scarcely tied, they
were so full. At the end Of three
months, there was apparently room for
more. For curiosity, some of it was
found two quarts per bushel had fall
len away-which was loss of about
seven per cent The place where the
seed was kept was very unfavorable
to the waste. There was no heat Or
wind to dry it up, and it may be taken
as the very lowest percentage Of loss.
Under other circumstances, the loss
by saving six months may often reach
as high as twenty per cent. These
things should be considered by
those who are inclined to hold on for
a chance of rise.
Another consideration strikes US
here. People often complain that they
get sh 'rt weight or measure. No
doubt this is too often the case but
it is likely that in some instances the
difference is as much in shrinkage as
in intention. Farmers Union

PAIN KILLER! !!
FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS
Perry Davis Vegetable Pain-KiIIer

Has been tested in evsry vdrietg of Climate, and
by almost eUsry Nation kso0l 10 americans.
1t is the constant companion and estimable
friend of the missionary and the traveller, on
sea and land, and no one should travel on our
Lakes or Rivers without it.
1t has been before the public for over thirty
years, and probably has wider and better
reputation than any other proprietary medicine
of the present day. At this period there are
but few unacquainted with the merits of the
Patn-ktller but while some eXtol 1t as lini-
ment, they know but little of It's power in cas-
ing pain when taken internally, while others
use 1t internally with great success, but are
equally ignorant of its healing virtues when
applied externally. We therefore wish to say
to all that 1t is equally successful whether used
internally or externally, and 1t stands to-day,
unrivalled by all the great catalogue of family
medicines. 1t is sufficient evidence of its vir-
tues as standard medicine, TO know that It is
now used in all parts of the world, and that its
sale Is constantly increasing. No curative
agent has had such wide spread sale or given
such universal satisfaction. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe in un-
skilled hands.
After thirty years trial, is still receiving the
most unqualified testimonials to its virtues,
from persons of the highest character and re-
sponsibility. Physicians of the first respecta-
bility, recommend It as a most efTectual pre-
paration for the extinction of pain. IL is not
only the best remedy ever known for Bruises,
Cuts, Burns, &C., but for Dyseutery or Cholera
or any sort of bowel complaint, it is a remedy
unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidity of ac-
tlon. In the great cities of India, and other
hot climates, 1t has become the Standard Med
icine for all such complaints, as well as Dys-
pepsia, Liver Complaints, and other kindred
disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Canker,
Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundance and con-
yincing testimony to be an invaluable medi-
cine.
Beicare of all Imitation.
The Pain-Killer is sold by all respectable
druggists throughout the United States and
foreign countries.
Prices-25 cents, 80 cents and 81 per bottle.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on Wedn esday eve
ming, the house of Mrs. March, near the
borough line, was entered and ransacked
during the absence of the family at church.
The thief stole about $3.50 in money, and a
heavy silver watch that formerly belonged
to Mrs. March's husband, and was worth
about $40. Any one who would rob a
widow of the money earned by her hard
aabor is mean thief indeed. 1t is evident
that the robbery was committed by some
one acquainted with the premises, and we
therefore conclude we have the mean chap
in this neighborhood.
