Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation i;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Nd
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

Early or Late Planting.

Is it best to plant as early as possible
or to defer this work as long as can be
safely done? This is a question in
which all farmers are interested, and to
which every year they are practically
obliged to reply. While there are
many advocates for each of these ex-
tremes. / think, there is a golden
mean which will lead to much better
results. Either Of the extremes are
open to grave objections, which do not
lie against a time half way between.
Il is true, as the advocates of early
planting claim, that if the seed is got
into the ground very early, the work is
done and out Of the way Of other things
which then need attention. But the
objections to this course are that the
ground and weather are so cold early
in the season that the seed either rots
in the ground or else is long while
coming up: often falls prey to wire
worms ; the plants, if any appear, are
tender and grow very slowly, while the
weeds. which are more hardy. at once
60 in and possess the land. Late
planting is not open to these objec-
tien, but it is open to some which are
quite serious. If The season is back
ward, and the planting is put off as
late as possible. the plants are not large
enough to be hoed more than once
before haying-time, and there is dan
ger that the crop will not be fully
matured before the autumn frosts. I
think the best way is to begin the pre-
paration of the land quite early, plow,
and get it nearly fitted to receive the
seed. Keep plowing and fitting, but
do not put in the seed until both
ground and weather are warm. Then
20 ;oser the. land with harrow, in |
order to destroy the weeds which have
started up. and also to make fine bed
for the seed, and do the planting as
soon as possible. Then the crop will
get as good start as the weeds. grow
rapidly. be ready for the second or
third hoeing before time for getting
hay, and have abundant time in which
to get perfectly ripe-Coumtry Gentle

A San francisco inventor has applied
for patent on horse brake Of bis
contfivance 1t is intended to control
horse in much the same way as a
wagon is governed in its movements by
. brake. A buckle with belt is at
tached to the ring of the breeching on
the left side of the horse, and the belt
is continued around the latter's breast,
where it is fastened to the martingale.
Thence itpasses to the right-hand side
Of the buggy seat, where it is caught
by buckle and a loop. When the
reins are pulled tight the brake presses
en- the fore-legs Of the horse immedi-
atcly below the breast, stopping him in
stantly. and preventing him from rear
ing or kicking. Should the reins slip
from the hands Of the driver or break,
the horse can be brought to stand
still by pulling the strap which is buck
led at the rigbt-han side of the seat.

pie space above, to allow the impure air
to escape, the stable is filled with eddies
and currents below. which are injurious
to cattle. Ventilation should be by
means of small spaces, which admit
numerous small streams Of fresh air.

in having the air within in. exactly the
