DON'T TAMPER WITH A CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category of diseases to which hu
mainly is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-Co Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
rivulet leads to the river yet is is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.
Azen's Lung Balsans is the great cough rem
edy of the age, and has earned its reputation
by merit alone. Sold by all good druggists

PATENT MEDICNEs.-That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for a moment deny; and pre-
eminent is the great California hero medi-
cine, VINEGAR BITTERs, discovered by DR..
J. WALKER, a prominent physician of San
Francisco. This medicine, although called
Bitters. is not to be classed among the vile
fancy drinks" recommended and sold
over the bar by rum-venders, but is COM
bination of pure herbaIistic extracts,
known to possess sterling medicinal quail
ties, and is compounded without the use
in any shape of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating to
the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it
at once attacks blood-impurities, and by
removing the original cause destroys the
germs of disease and invites returning
health. Its action upon the stomach and
liver render it an almost certain specific in
the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia, and
in truth imparts new life and vigor to the
whole system. 1t is one of the best medi-
cines ever invented.

Will it Paw to Feed Grain to Sheep ?

a " W
have made the care of sheep a mat
ter of some study for the past fifteen
years, and from experience and observa-
tion have become fully convinced that
there is no way that a farmer can dis
pose of his grain that will pay ms well
as to give them a liberal allowance OF
it I; I speak with reference to stock
sheep, not having had much experience
in feeding for market. We will take a
flock of, say two hundred Merinos, and
in addition to the usual feeding give
them one bushel Of corn or its equiva-
lent per day, say one hundred and fifty
bushels during the winter, which, Mt
sixty cents per bushel, about the aver,
nge price of corn on the farm, would
bring 800. Continue this say for a pc
Rod of ten years, and the average num-
Der of pounds of wool per year over n
similar flock which is fed no grain will
be fully two hundred and fifty pounds ;
this, sold at an average of fifty cents
per pound, would make $50. There
would be, say sixty lambs, worth fifty
cents per head more at five months old
than if no grain was fed, $50 increas-
ed value of dry eve sand w%ethers. with
saving of pasture b being ready for
market five or six months earlier, $50;
increased value of balance of flock $50 ;
increased value of manure saved, SD,
making n total gain of 1928 per year, or
81. 80 per bushel for corn. This Is no
freak of fancy, but a stern reality. My
estimates are much lower than they
would bear, but they are strong
enough to convince any thinking mind
that it will pay, and yet in the face OF
all the facts that can be given, farmers
will persist in hauling their corn and
