How 70 select Flnnr.

Look at its color if it is white, with
slightly yellowish or straw-colored tinge, it
is good sign. If it is very white, with a
blush cast with white specks in it the -four
is not good. Examine its adhesiveness--
wet and knead a little of it between the fin
gers if it works dry and elastic, it is good; !;
if it works soft and sticky it is poor Flour
made from spring wheat is likely to be
sticky. Throw a little lump of dry flour
against a dry, smooth, perpendicular sur
face if it adheres in lump the flour has
life in it if it falls like powder it is bad.
Squeeze some of the flour in your hands if
1T retains its shape given by the pressure,
that, too, is good sign. Flour that will
stand all these tests it is safe to buy. These
modes were given by old flour dealers,
and we make no apology for printing them,
as they pertain to matter that concerns
everybody, namely, the quality of that
which is ''the staff of life ''~ 2 44l-i- AVA 2

The,Grent Farmer of Illinois.

Mr.. L. Sullivant, the farmer of Illinois
and of the west, too, for that matter, was
in El Paso Saturday. He called ON Seery
g. Rouse, who have been supplying him
with agricultural machinery for some years,
@RRd-erdered of them half dozen Buckeye
mowers. Sullivant is one of those cheerful
souls who never do anything by halves. A
correspondent says of his farm " I was at
Sullivant's farm to-day. 1t is about eight
miles square and contains about 44,000
acres. Met Mr.. Sullivant in his Office and
found him most pleasant and agreeable
man, ready to entertain any one who calls.
l am indebted to Mr.. w. B. Dix, chief
clerk, for the following condensed report
Of the workings of the farm: Number of
hands about 600; mules and horses, 1000;
cattle (oxen), so number acres in corn,
10000; acres in small grain, 5000: acres
an tame grass, 5000 miles of hedge, 300 ;
head of hogs, LOO; head of cattle, 60O
Everything is run in regular military style.
He can just tell what it costs to raise
bnshel of grain on any section of his farm,
also the cost each month to feed the hands.
The hands are all hired by the month and
boarded. There is a resident doctor-Dr.
Blair-who attends the sick. According to
actual figures it is demonstrated that elev-
EN- cents per bushel in ordinary seasons will
put corn in the crib, and twenty-six cents
per day will board hands. The bill of fare
is better than that found in most boarding
houses. The following is the bill of fare
tor June, 1874 Smoked shoulder mess
beef, fresh beef flour, bread, rice, beans,
peas, tea, coffee, sugar, dried apples, vine
gar, molasses, lard, spices, eggs, fresh veg
etables, etc, cost per capita, 265 cents.
Found Mr.. Fay, the cashier, Mr.. Miner,
the general manager, and others, very
pleasant gentlemen. A general stock of
goods are kept. An elevator of 1000
bushels capacity is about ready to receive
grain. tits said to be by competent Judges,
the best and most complete elevator in the
state, outside of Chicago. There is now in
crib on the farm, 400, 900 bushels of corn,
waiting the completion of the elevator to be
'shelled and shipped. Crops look splendid; !;
the recent rain has removed all apprehen-
sion of injury from drought"

10 PrOteGt Fruit from Birds.

AS we hear every summer loud COM
plants Of the depredations of the birds
among the small fruits of the garden and
orchard, we give place to the following
plan WHICH is said to be effective in soaring
them of. tits to stretch gray or brown
linen threads in various directions over the
goosebeTy or eurrant bushes, small cherry
trees etc. When the birds come for plum
der, they strike against these threads and
thinking them concealed trap immediate
ly make off as they dread anything they can
feel and not readily see. To protect peas,
sow them in drills and stretch couple of
strands of the threads over the rows about
two inches from the ground. Ifthe strings
are put higher the birds do not seem to
mind them. Hs

%
THoMPSON'S
Fever and Ague Powders !
FOR THE
PERMANENT CURE OF~CHILLs AND FE-
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVERl
The Greatest DscOverY Of the Age |

HNHERE are no diseases so deblitating In
il their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure In cases of the long
est standing, as we'll as prove a preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradcating it from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills In any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their RepVtdtion Is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk in Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders''
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
" Thompson q Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

Bug Philosophy.

There are several bugs which farmers
and gardeners ought never to kill One is a
large jet black fellow that runs like race
horse. He lives on bugs. Another is a
black fellow with yellow spots rather ac-
tive, that lives ON the wires and grub worm.
AS rule it is safe not to kill any bug that
travels rapidly, They are the underground
hawks and eagles, and live on the sIow-go-
ers, which in turn live on the corn and
wheat and potatoes Of the farmers
ar The experiment Of ten growing in
California Is said TO promise success. The
climate Of large part of the tea districs of
China finds parallel in that Of the central
Southern states, and there seems to be no
reason why Hyson and Bohea should not
come from cotton and rice fields. The ne
cessity for ocean transportation would be
done away with, and the native fragrance
OF the leaf would thus be preserved

EQUALLY GOOD FOR MAN OR BEAST.
This Liniment has earned for itself reputa-
tion unequalled int the history of external ap-
plications. Thousands who now suffer from
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, &C., would find i'm
mediate relief from all their pain by using this
certain remedy. 1t is equally efTectual in Cuts,
Burns, scalds, Stiffness of the Neck, Sore
Throat, Swellings, Inflammatlons, Frost Bites,
Pains in the Side and Back, Bites of Spiders
or Stings Of Insects. One rubbing will in all
cases give immediate relief, and few appllca-
tions complete cure. On account of its pow
erful penetrating properties 1t is beyond doubt,
the SUREST REMEDY for the most trouble
some diseases to which horses and cattle are
liable. 1t cures Scratches, Old and Fresh Cuts
and Sores, Chafes produced by collar or sad
die. Injuries caused by nails or splints enter
ing the flesh or hoofs, Bruises, Sprains, Swee-
ney, SPAWN, Thrush, and all diseases which
destroy the hoofs or bones of the feet. Fnll
