insist that the tariff be 80 regu-

LET 1T BE KNOWN.

1t has been we'll understood for some
time that Hon. j. s. 1rgens was to be a
candidate before the State Convention, for
the Office of Secretary Of State. His fit
ness for the position is conceded by all
far men, his acquaintance is general,
and his popularity as wide as the state.
He represents In this county and in the
state large foreign born constituency,
and has himself rendered signal service to
the party-notably last year. In the con.
vention held in this city last week, Mr..
Irgens asked to be made a delegate, and
the men who had been brought together
TO act as delegates, misrepresented their
constituencies, and voted him down as
though he had been trickstcr or dolt.
Mr.. Irgens stands before the people Of this
county after residence Of eighteen years
without spot or blemish upon his
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by all as capable,
cultivated and honorable, and yet because
he would not yield to the domination of a
half dozen whom he has helped to make
politically, a convention is packed against
him and he is told that if he wants to be a
candidate he must ask s. Page. How docs
that relish in the stomachs Of the voters
who gave Mr.. Irgcns a majority Of over
400 votes in this county last fall? When
the votes have been counted next fall We
shall have an answer.

TO THE FARMERS

You will be engaged soon in cutting
your wheat. 1t is the great staple of the
state, and your almost sole dependence
It should be saved in the best condition
possible. AS soon as the straw is thor
oughly cured, let it be put into the stack.
You ought not to let grain stand in the
shock until the whole crop is out. Large
quantities are destroyed each year by neg
Letting to stack in season. Again, do not
throw your grain together as though it
were only to facilitate the work of
threshing. Grain should be stacked we'll,
If at all. 1t is as easy to put up stack
so that it will stand year without dam
age, as to stand over night. Those who
raise the grain may think that we NEEDLE
with what does not concern US, and posi-
bly, we do, but it is nevertheless true that
too much wheat spoils in the stack, and
if the calamity can be avoided by hint
from us, it shall not occur this year.

have not enjoyed good health for several
years past, yet have not allowed it to interfere
with my labor. Every one belonging to the
laboring class knows the Inconvenience of be-
ing obliged to labor when he body, from de.
bility, almost refuses to perform its daily task
never was j believer in dosing with medi-
cines; but having heard the Vegctine spoken
OF so highly, was determined to try it, and
shall never regret that determination. As a
tonic (Which every one needs at some time) it
surpasses anything ever heard Of It in
vigorates the whole system, it is o great
cleanser and purifier o. the blood. There are
many of my acquaintance who have taken it.
and all unite in praise Of its satisfactory ef-
feet.
Especially among the aged class of people,
it iMparts to them the one thing most needful
in old age-nishts of calm. sweet repose.
thereby strengthening the mind rs we'll rs tho
body. One aged lady, who has been suffering
through life from scrotula, and has been blind
from its effects, having tried many remedies
with no favorable result, was induced by
friends to try the Vegetine. After taking q
few bottles, she obtained such great relief that
she expressed wish for her sight, that she
might be able to look upon the man who had
sent her such blessing.

Picking off Potato Blossoms.

We observe some discussion in the pa
pers on the practical utility of picking the
blossoms off from growing potato plants
to increase the growth Of the tubers. Ac-
cording to theory, this would be the result
the formation Of seed always tending to
exhaust more or less the vitality Of the
plant. Many years ago a statement come
from Europe on this subject, and we were
told that the crop would be increased one
third by carefully removing all the boss
oms. We gave it a careful test in rows
side by side, but ordinary measure did
not indicate the slightest difference, which
must have been very small If any-prob.
ably requiring more refined weighing to
it, and of no consequence
whatever in common practice.-Country

HoUTH BOSTON, Feb, 1871.
II. r. STEVENS:
Dear sir.-1 have heard from very many
sources Of the great success Of Vegetine in
cases OF Scrofula. Rheumatism, Kidney Com
plant, Catarrh, and other diseases of kindred
nature. l make no hesitation in saying that
know Vegetine to be the most reliable rene
dy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She
has thoroughly tried every supposed remedy
that we could hea, of. and with all this she
has for several years been gradually growing
worse. and the discharge from the head was
excessive and very offensive.
She was IN this condition when she COM
mcrced to take Vcgetine, could sec that she
was improving on the second bottle. She con-
t'cued taking the Tcgctinc until she had used
from twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now hap
ny in informing you and the public (if you
choose to make it public} that she is entirely
cured, and Vegetine accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence feel justi-
fed in saying that Vegctine is the most reIi-
able remedy, and would advise all suffering
humanity to try it, for I believe it to be a
good, honest, vegetable medicine, and shall
not hesitate to reco nncnd t. I am &C.,
