Exhibiting and Selling Farm Prod
uctS.

THE idea of holding yearly fairs for
the exhibition and sale of particular
farm products has long been recognized
as of great importance. OF late years ii
has been acted upon in various parts of
the country for the sale of animals, dairy
products, and occasionally for the sale of
wool. In England the regular exhibit
ton and sale of products at markets and
fairs for barter and sale have given place,
SO far as live stock is concerned, to the
plan of selling by auction, either with or
without reserve price, and this system
of selling at auction sales is gradually ex-
tending to other farm products as well as
stock.
One of the advantages of this plan is
that it places the seller and buyer more
equally on par than perhaps any other !;
for, as rule, the farmer is not so com
plete Judge of the commodity sold as is
the buyer. The reason is obvious: the
buyer has but to study the points of ex-
cellence of the finished article, while the
farmer must keep himself posted as TO a
variety of matters pertaining to the com
modify in its various stages. A case in
point: 1t is well known that a butcher is
a far more critical judge of what the ami
NAL will be inside than the stock raiser
and also is a better Judge of the weight
of the animal. These experts, there
fore, have a great al .antagc over
not only those selling, but, also, over
those other butchers who are not so well
posted. When the stock is sold at auction
the expert shave not so great an advantage,
for the more Indifferent judges can then
take advantage of the better ones through
the bidding. 1t will pay them to ad-
vance a little after the experts have ceased
to bid.
Why could not these sale-days be more
generally establishedg 1t would be very
easy to do so at the county and district
fair grounds that are now scattered all
over the country. Take the article of
wool, for instance. The ileeccs are now
sent to commission houses, where they are
sorted. We have heard OF instances where
the superior fieeces, as, for instance, those
that will do for combing, are sorted out.

BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. d.
A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con
gested it fails to eliminate this vast amount
of noxiOus substance, which, therefore,
remains to poison the blood and be con
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and
half pounds of poisons Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.-but
these organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
tions, and cannot long Withstand the pressure,
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to it from
the heart, and it fails to perform its office
healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dizziness, headache, inca
pacity to keep the mind on any subject, i'm
pairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy nervous
feelings, gloomy forebodings and irritablity of
temper. The blood itself being diseased, as il
forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin,
it is SO irritating and poisonous that it pro-
duces discolored brown spots, pimples,
blotches and other eruptions, sores, bols,
carbuncles and scrofulOus tumors. The
stomach, bowels and other organs can
not escape becoming affected sooner or
later, and we have, as the result, costive-
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, darrhea.
Other symptoms common, as bitter
or bad taste in mouth, internal heat,
palpitation, teasing cough, unsteady appe-
tite, choking sensation in throat, bloating of
stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or
back, GOODNESS of extremities, etc, etc. Only
few of the above symptoms are likely to be
present in any case at one time. The liver be-
ing the great depurating or blood-cleansing
organ OF the system-set this great ''house
keeper Of our health" at work, and the foul
corruptions which gender in the blood and rot
out, as it were, the machinery of life are
gradually expelled from the system. For this
purpose my Golden Medical Discovery with
very small doses daily of my Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are pre- -eminently the articles need
ed. They cure every kind of humor, from the
worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch
or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal
under their mighty curative influence. Viru-
lent blood poisOns that lurk in the system are
by them robbed of their terrors, and by their
persevering and somewhat prOtracted use the
most tainted systems may be completely reno
waited and built up anew Enlarged glands,
tumors and swellings dwindle away and dis
appear under the influence of these great re-
solvents.

1T WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of Intemper-
ance and its kindred vices, to make their
slaves drunk with wine in the public
market-places, so that the rising genera
ton upon whom would some day devolve
the honor and safety of the Lacedemo-
milan Republic, might see before them all
the CHASTITY details of the drunkard's dis
grace, his loss of reason and of physical
strength. 'Twere well, perhaps, to-day,
could some of our young men contem-
plate a similar instructive lesson drawn
from the life, showing them, by a sharply
drawn contrast, the advantages and true
loneliness of abstinence and virtue

being purely vegetable draught, devoid
of alcohol or mineral poisons, and pos
sessing all the virtues, but none of the
