Three Points for Consideration

During the past five years the VEGErINE has
been steadily working itself into public favor, ana
those who were 1t first most incredulous In regard
to it, merit, are now its most ardent friends ana
supporters.
There are three essential causeslor those having
such horror OF patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards inc
advancement of NEGETINE. lst IL IS an honest.
ly.preparcd medicine from barks, roots and herbs
"a II honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for
il, without leaving any bad effects III the system
81. IL presents honest vouchers in testimonials
from honest well known citizens. whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee OF their earnesiness III
the matter. Taking into consideration the vast
quantity of mediciue brought conspicuously before
the public through the flaming advertisements IN
the newspaper columns, with no proof OF merit or
genuine Vouchers OF what it has done, we should
he pardoned for manifcsIing small degree ofprid"
in presenting the following testimonial from Rev
j. :. DICkERSON ID. ID, the popular ana ever
genial pastor Of the south Baptist Church. Boston
Boston, March 10, 1874.
H. X stevens, Esq;
Dear Sir-It is as much from sense OF duty as OF
gratitude that write 10 say that your EGEriNE
even II II Is patent medicine-has Oeen OF great
help 10 me when nothing else sccncu 10 aNalt
which 4 could safely use. Either excessive mental
work or unusual care brings upon me a nervous "N'
hSuStion that desperately needs sleep but as 1es.
peratCly dsues it. Night after night the poor, tired
body sues for sleep until the day dawn u welcomed
back and we begin our work tired out with al
most ruthless chase alter rest. Now have found
that q little NEGETlNE taken just before retire
gives me sweet and immediate sleep, and without
any OF the evil effects of the usual narcotics.
think two things would tend 10 make brain workers
sleep. lst 4 little less work. 81. \ little more

Now have particular horror OF patent medi'

Winter Butter.

Col. Waring, the great Rhode
Island dairy-man, writing Of the
dairy farm Of /. Boies 81 Son,
of Illinois, says:
"Mr. Boies is very strongly
of the opinion that it is impos-
sible to get the fullest profit
from a butter dairy, or from any
other, without having the cows
come in in the Autumn. He
then carries them through the
height of milking on high Win
ter feed, and finds that when
they are five or six months gone,
and would naturally begin to
fall off in their yield, the flush
of the May and June pastures
gives a flip to their produc-
lion, and carries them up pref
ty nearly to their full yield a.
gain. BY the time the Summer
drouth plnches the pasture, they
are ready to be dried off for
their next calving. This, in
connection with the fact that
the Winter market is best for
butter, makes his course seem
judicious, and worthy the at.
tention of others. Cows COM
ing in in the Spring give more
during May and June than Au-
tumn calvers do at any time,
but when they begin to feel the
effect of their next pregnancy. I
there is only Winter feed to be |
given them, and this does not
sustain their produetiveness as
grass would do"

When to Cut Timber.

An Arkansas correspondent of
the Scientific american says:
II came here 80 gears since, and
began clearing land and building
houses with hewn logs and boards
split from the trees. After sew
eral years residence | noticed
that very often pieces OF the
same kind of tinker decay ed
more quickly than others; aud
after much thought and observa-
ton | came to the conclusion that
timber felled when the leaf first
commenced to grow rotted the
sap of very quickly, but the
heart remained sound; that tim
Der felled after the fall Of the leaf
rotted in the heart, even when
apparently sound on the outside.
When frewocd cut in the winter
was put on the fire the sap came
out of the heart, but when cut
in the summer the sap came out
of the sap wood, and next the
bark. l notice also that all cur
lasting wood has but little sap
at any time in the heart-such
as cedar, mulberry, sassalras, and
cypress. A cypress post cut in
the summer of 1888 is still sound,
alIhogh exposed to all weathers,
while one of the same kind of
timber, cut in the winter Of 1856,
and painted, has rotted in the
heart. ! saw yesterday piece
of gum plank, which sawed in the
summer Of 1856, that has lain
ever since, and is perfectly sound;
while oak timber that was ielled
in the winter before is now-en-
tirely rotten. My conclusion
then is: Cut timber after full leaf,
say in July and August, to get
the most last from it. The sap
goes into the heart Of the tree
after leaf fall, and causes decay"

What and How to Feed
Bees.

There are more than a dozen
letters before us asking us how
to make sugar syrup for feed
ing bees. There is no mystery
about this. Simple sugar, Cof
See A is best, dissolved by pour
ing boiling hot water, upon il.
1t really makes little difference
whether it is fed thick or thin,
when the .bee.c can fly and get
water. We have fed sugar dry,
sugar simply moistened, sugar
dissolved, and sugar made into
candy. But if we must give a
rule for the syrup we will say
a gallon of water TO four pounds
of sugar. No glycerine, no
cream of tartar. We don't say
that they are injurious, bat they
are unnecessary. Fifteen or
sixteen pounds Of sugar are ann
plv sufficient to winter a colony
from November to April, if they
had not pound Of honey.-Na-
tton0t Bee Journal.
