TIE HUMBUe OF Administration

THE HUMBUG OF ADvERTisING.--Con-
corning advertising there is great deal
of humbug. We say "humbug" because
the word fraud" does not fully cover the
case. Advertising is unquestionably one
great secret of success. But it must be ju-
dicious advertising. Some men want to
buy advertising as the vulgar buy pictures,
looking to the quantity, not the quality.
OF course, what is called "late Advertising
pays, but only, however, when done with
good Judgment. For instance, it is not
good judgment, except in very rare cases,
to advertise, at any price, in cheap issues,
or charitable publications. They gre sell
dom read. Next in point of worthless
ness as vehicle comes the ordinary alma
nae. These are manufactured to a most
surprising extent, and the investment is
immensely profitable to apothecaries and
paper dealers. The man of paper, coop
Grating with the man of pills, makes the
the whole almanac business one of mutual
profit. One collector, on the Hudson to
our positive knowledge, has bought dur
ing the last few weeks, no less than ten
tons of almanacs which were sent out to
country apothecaries for distribution.
There is also wholesale druggist in New
York City, who sells these things regular
ly by the ton, instead of sending them out
to customers This is only one of the ways
in which injudicious advertisers waste
their money. Advertisers should remem-
Der that circulation even in villuge
newspaper is worth vastly more than IL
hundred thousand through the medium of
n questionable agent. Printing is not ad
vertising.-Erchange.

Iron Paper.

In the Great Exhibition Of 1851, an
American specimen of iron paper was first
exhibited. A lively competition in iron
rolling ensued among British iron manu-
iacturers, excited by the above challenge
from America, as to the thinness to which
iron could be rolled cold. Mr.. Gillot roll
cd sheets the average thickness of which
was the eighteen hundredth part of an
inch. In other words, one thousand eight
hundred sheets piled upon each other
would collectively measure an inch in
thickness, whilst the thinnest tissue-pa-
per to be purchased in the stationer's stores
measured the twelve hundreth of an inch.
These very thin iron sheets are perfectly
smooth, and easy to write on, although
porous when held up to good light. 1t
may not be out of place, considering the
great interest that is taken by those con-
nected with that great branch of industry,
the iron trade, to give few curious par
ticulars as to the extent iron can be weld
ed, and the thin sheets that can be rolled
out.
Brother Jonathan little thought what IL
hubbub would be created in the old country
when from Pittsburg he sent that wonder.
full letter, written on sheet made from
iron which took no less than one thous-
and sheets to make one inch in thickness;
the dimensions being eight iuches by five
and one-half inches, or surface of forty
four inches and weighing sixty nine grains.

Brown LeghOrns.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man gives this breed the following good
words:
There is no denying the fact that the
Brown Leghorns are last becoming most
popular variety, both as fancy and use
full breed. They are small, mature quick
ly, the hens come into laying early, and for
that reason are profitable. They are easy
keepers, being small feeders and prolific
egg-producers. They have all the mark
ings and build of good layers, having large
combs and wallets, of beautiful pink-red
color, which is always suggestive of fresh
laid eggs. New beginners are apt to be
discouraged at first, but experience teaches
the virtue of patience and perseverance. l
have learned that one must first raise his
layers from good stock before he can ex-
pect even a moderate return, and fowls
purchased from noted breeders are not al
ways reared with an eye to this important
advantage. 1t is sufficient for them that
the breed has name for producing eggs.
Fowls for this purpose must be raised. not

foundation of strong, vigorous constitu.

The Texas Cattle Disease.

The disease having appeared in New
Hampshire, the Board OF Agriculture of
that State has deemed it advisable to pub.
lish statement OF the facts in the cases
which have come to their knowledge, to-
gether with such cautionary instructions
as the present knowledge of the disease
seems TO require. The following extract
ftom this document is worthy of attention:
Precenttce Measures. = AS preventive
measures, people must buy beef only of re-
liable men, who will not buy or sell dis
eased meat. Butchers should not slaugh-
ter Texas cattle, except at long period
after their arrival, nor should they slauph-
ter any beeves that have been exposed to
the disease. Cattle dealers should he pun
ishcd for bringing diseased animals to
market, and especially for purchasing con-
demncd animals. Local officers should ex-
ercise their authority to prevent suspicious
cattle from being brought into their towns,
and railroad officers should allow only
healthy cattle to be shipped or transported
on their lines.
Carbolic acid diluted, or heavy coal tar
should be daily spinkled upon the drop
pings of affected animals, upon the floors
ofbarns where they have been, and on yards
where they have been herded The excre-
ments of sick animals are the chief source
of communicating the disease. Let none
of it come in contact with other animals,
nor be washed away in any running water.
Take care and not convey the disease on
the feet from the yard of sick cattle. Do
not sell the hides Of dead animals to the
tanner, but bury them, with the carcasses,
deep-putting lime upon them.
Remedies.-No definite course of treat
ment has been prescribed. Some will re-
cover without medicine or surgery, but
large majority of native cattle will die if
attacked. Bleeding has been recommend
ed, followed by heavy dose of salts. Car
bolc acid in the drink is recommended.
Let animals drink all they will, and have
salt to their liking. Aconite was given
in several cases at Manchester, and the ami
mails recovered. If there is no skillful vet
erinarian at hand, call the family physician.
II he is a sensible man he will attend the
call. Don't employ quack, for you can
do better to follow your own judgment.

SPORT DE CHILD.-Wair writes: Du-
ring the time whea Clayton was ruler of
Arkansas, all justices of the peace had to
be appointed by His Excellency. One old
negro, who thought he knew enough to
discharge the duties of the office, called on
the Governor to be examined and receive an
appointment. Several questions were Civ
en- him, all ofwhich he managed very well.
But when he was asked: What would
you do in case where man had COM
mitted suicide ?" "What would I do ~
said the negro. swell, sab, in case like
dat, de very least could do, sab, would
be to make him sport de child" He was
appointed.

Why Cattle Require Salt.

We know why the animal Graves salt,
and why it ultimately falls into disease if
salt is for time withheld. Upwards of
half the saline matter of the blood, (57 per
cent?, consists of common salt; and as this
is partly discharged every day through the
skin and kidneys, the necessity of continu-
ed supplies of it to the body becomes suffi-
GENTLY obvious. The bile also contains
soda as special and indispensable consti-
tuent, and so do all the cartilages of the
body. Therefore, if the supply of salt be
stnted, neither will the bile he able prop
erly to assist the digestion, nor the carti-
lagos be built up again as they naturally
waste.
And when we consider it to be fact,
that without salt man would miserably
perish, ps among horrible punishments
entailing certain death, that Of feeding cul-
prits on satless food is said to have pre-
vailed in barbarous times, we may become
partially convinced, at least, of the neces.
sity of feeding salt to our stock--that it
is one of the necessaries MS well us one of
the luxuries of life for man and beast and
it should be profusely provided at short
intervals, in proper places. if it cannot be
kept 10y them continually, so that each and
every animal may satisfy the demands of
his nature. Then it shall not be said Of us,
that while our pudding is well seasoned
and sailed, our stock are allowed to suffer
for want of the same ingredient, which is
as truly necessary Tor their food as for
ours PrGt. johnson.
