We read. says the New York Tribune.
Of one Ohio farm which several years
since was wet, unproductive and agueish.
twenty bushels of inferior corn to the

wheat was all that could be raised
Sheep would die about as fast as they
could be produced Now it is under.

forty to eighty bushels of superior wheat.
On grass lands the difference in quantity
is not great, but the quality has been
vastly improved Chills and fever have

THE FARMERS HOME.

The Hon. Dudley W. Adams, Master
Of the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbaudry, in closing an Grafton at
ottumwa, Iowa gave the following as
his idea of what the farmers home should
be:
Select the handsOmest spot of all. and
erect house Of neat and tasteful pro-
portions and convenient arrangements.
The size, finish and expense will be gov
erned by the means at command. Plant
trees. both forest and fruit, in such way
as to break the sweep Of the winter winds.
Donate reasonable patch of ground to
small fruits and vegetables sufficient to
supply your table with an abundance of
all desirable kinds the year around
Make an acre or more Of lawn in front
and around the dwelling. interspersed
here and there with some ornamental
shade trees. evergreens and Towering
shrubs. Train an ivy over the porch, a
hOney-suckle on the window. Hide the
sheds and out buildings with clump of
trees or climbing vine
Your wife and daughters viii have
some artistic flower beds cnt in the lawn,
and rose bud by the door, while sing
ing birds will build nests in the trees.
Make the inside Of the house attractive
"a pleasant place to sit. with sufficient
inducements to keep your sons from sa-
looms, and your daughters from the street
Among the absolute necessaries of life,
l most decidedly and alphabetically place
amusements, sports aud fun. A good
ringing laugh is worth more to stir the
liver and promote digestion, than dos,
Of calomel, and deal pieasanter to take
If you ever come across a person, old o.
young, who cannot, on proper provoca
ton, give out good, ringing, laugh
watch him He is either after you
pocket book or the undertaken. Joy, fun
laughter, sterling good, healthy wide
awake happiness, are among the mos
desirable of human attributes. Nothin
but men can laugh. Do not smother
but cultivate the distinctive feature O
humanity.

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that. new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO un-
clearly and offensive Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts

lustre, and a grateful perfume.

While st. Louis is looking for increased

deserving Of attention that Kansas City pro-

With US the opening of the Rio Grande now
