To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels TO become oonstipated, and the
SYSTEM to remain in disOrdered condition, until
the disorder has time to develop itself An ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure, Is an old and
truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, diserdered liver want of ap-
petite, nausea, or feverish skim to take, without
delay, sohenck's Mandrake Pills. We know of no
remedy harmless and decisive in its action It at
once strikes at the root ef the disease and produces
a healthy tone TO the system. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from disordered
condition Of the liver if they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the first indications of
the malady. Families leaving home for the sum-
mer months should take three or four boxes Of these
pills with them. They have an almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient Of headache in
two hours, and viii rapidly cleanse the liver
of surrounding bile, and viii efectua1ly pre+eHt
bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists.

Bees on a Small Scale.

There are many hOuseholders whose
means will not enable them to buy a COW,
or provide keeping for her were they in
possession of enc. But they may beequal
TO the purchase of a colony of bees and
provide hives for the swarms result
ing therefrom. Bees, like other stock,
require pasturage, but, unlike horses,
cattle and sheep, they are free common
ers, ranging at will in search of stores,
nor can they be arrested and punished
for their intrusion on premises, alias their
owners. A single colony of bees, in good
condition in the spring, may be counted
upon double or treble their numbers in a
single season, securing ample stores for
winter consumption, while supplying a
gratifying surplus each autumn for house
hold uses. This accumulation will prove
most acceptable in families, especially
while the price of butter rules so high as
to place it beyond the reach of those not
blessed with elongated and plethoric
purses. Try a colony of bees as an ex-
periment.-W Western RaraL.

sheep ON the Farm.

That sheep can save farms from utter
ruin, and improve the condition of good
farms, is beyond doubt. However much
we may prize the horse and cow for their
valuable services to mankind, still we
must admit that the keeping of sheep is
very profitable to the farmer, in that it
brings money to his pocket and improves
the condition of his land Experience
has shown that sheep husbandry is di-
rectly profitable. There are no losses
and very few risks to be met with in the
business.
Early lambs, fat wethers, wool and
pelts always bring good prices and find
ready market. Besides, sheep bring up
the condition of the farm, and, as the
old adage has it, "turns the earth to
gold wherever their footprints are found"
Nothing will improve a farm so well as a
course of husbandry in sheep, well Sc
lected and judiciously followed. Sheep
can be made the salvation of a poor farm,
and if more of our farmers would keep
more sheep a larger share of prosperity
would be the result.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A I.eaaon Frnm Cnbbnre.

Every one knows that cabbages will
not grow fast or head out well unless
they are hOed very often. Most have
also learned that this crop does the best
if hoed very early in the morning, while
the dew is on the ground. Hoeing later
in the day, when the dew has evapor-
ated, will not have the same effect. The
reasons appear to be these: The dew
being covered with soil, is retained, and
helps keep the earth moist. In contains
a large amount of oxygen, which 1t took
from the air. These act to decOmpose
the soil and to hasten the growth of
plants. It also absOrbs large quantity
of ammonia, which is directly taken up
by the plant. Now the same cause
ought to produce the same effects on
other plants, and it has been found by
observing farmers that they do. Market
gardeners prefer to have potatoes hoed
either when the soil is wet with dew or
after sight rain.
Observations made by one of the best
farmers in Wisconsin, extending through
many years, convinced him that there
was great advantage in blowing land
while it was wet with dew. Especially
was this the case when clover or grass
was plowed under. 1t was found that
the grass and sod rotted much sooner,
and that the succeeding crops were larger
and of better quality.

Public Debt of Snain.

The termination of the Carlist war.
closing at length the frightful drain
upon the resources of the treasury, must
be followed speedily by measures calcu-
lated to introduce order and economy
into the finances of Spain. Nothing
wilder or more ruinous can be imagined
than the expedients to which excessive
ministers of finance have resOrted dur
ing the last few years in order to obtain
funds to carrying on the war with Don
Carlos 1t was matter of life and death
for the government to find money, at
least for the troops in the north and
east, and it was found, but upon terms
more befitting ConstantinOple or Cairo
than a European capital. Twenty per
cent. has been frequently paid, and at
times money, which must be had, could
not be borrowed under thirty, in this
wav the floating debt has been raised to
500 900, 600, although it is long since
any attempt was made to pay the hold
ers of three per cents. It is difficult to
arrive at a just estimate of the actual
amount of debt which forms part of the
acknowledged obligations of Spain at
the present moment. There are, how
ever, a consolidated debt of e36O,000,-
900; bonds to the amount of ESQ, 000,-
600 issued In favor of the clergy and of
civil corporations; e22, 900, 900 of rail
way bonds, and nearly G10,000,000 OF
miscellaneous convertible debt. Besides
these there are ESQ, 100000 interior
three per cent. consolidated debt pledged
bv the treasury for loans and the float
ing debt already referred to. Leaving
out the hypothecated securities and the
floating debt, we have here s442, 000,-
600 on which interest is payable, &c

PEOPLE sometimes suppose that DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines represent the entire extent
of his resources for curing disease. This is an
error. Experience proved that while the
Golden Medical Discovery, tayorite Pre-
scriptiOn, Pleasant PurgatiVe Pellets, Com
pound Extract of Smart Weed, and DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, would, if faithfully used,
cure a large variety of chronic complaints,
there would be here and there a case which,
from its severity, or from its complication
with other disorders, would resist their action.
These exceptional cases required a thorough
examination into their symptoms to ascer-
tain the exact nature and extent of the dis
ease or diseases under which the patient was
labOring, and the use of specific remedies to
meet and overcome the same. This led to
the establishment of the Worlds Dispensary,
at Buffalo, n. Y, with its Faculty of Ply
sicians and Surgeons, each of whom is skilled
in the treatment of chronic disorders in gen
eral and those belonging to his own special
department III particular. To one is assigned
diseases of the throat and lungs; to another,
diseases of the kidneys and urogenital or
gans; to another, diseases of the digestive
system; to another, diseases of the nervous
system and to another, diseases of the eye
and ear. Thus the highest degree of perfec-
ton in medicine and surgery is attained
The establishment of this institution enables
the Doctor to meet a long-felt want in the
treatment of the more severe chronic affec-
tons. BY a careful consideration of the
symptoms as given in writing, he successfully
treats thousands of cases at their homes.
Others visit the Dispensary in person. The
amplest resources for the treatment of lin
gering affections are thus placed at the dis
pOsal of every patient, and those on whom
the proprietary medicines do not have the
desired effect can procure more thorough
and efficient course by a personal application
to the proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.

Raise your own hogs this year. 1t is
not difficult to do. Construct a covered
pen or house out of heavy logs or plank;
have a plank floor so as to allow of clean
ing; a good strong door with good lock,
and the work is half done. Devote from
one to ten acres to a hog range; plant it
in peas, potatoes, chufas, artichokes, etc,
and pasture the hogs upon it by means
of movable fence until the period ar
Tives for corn-feeding. They can easily
be learned to come to their pens at night
by throwing them corn, or giving them a
night feed. BY this plan there is no dan
ger of loss by theft. This plan would
also enable the breeder to improve his
stock by a judicious crossing with Berk-
shire or other improved breeds on the
best of the native stock.-SOuthern Farmer.

The Cars Dreadful MaIady.

The contemplated temporary retire
ment of the car of Russia and the re-
gency of the czarewitch is a step which
has long been seen to be sooner or later
inevitable. The car has for a number
of years suffered from the inherited mel
ancholy madness of his family, which
has been fostered by a resort to stimu
lants as a means of relief. His malady
is hopeless form of softening of the
brain, and the respite from work which
he is about to give himself can have lit
tie permanent effect, though it may post
pOne for year or two the final collapse.
The cars eldest son died a mass of dis
ease, and though the present heir to the
throne is of a robust constitution, he is
said to be subject to fits of temper which
recall the vagaries of the line of lunatics
who have previously sat on the Russian
throne. He is understood to lean very
strongly to the Old Russian party, and
also to be very much under the influence
of his wife, the Princess DagmaI, who
makes no secret of her strong Danish
sympathies. It is, therefore, the Ger
mans who have most to fear from a
change in the ruling mind of Russia.
The present car has always been deeply
devoted to his uncle, the Emperor Will
liam, but his son would be more likely
to take an Independent course. A league
of Russia, the Scandinavian powers and
France, who is eager for an alley against
Germany, would be very formidable for
the new empire.-N. Y. Times Letter.

serve can be made available for circula-
ton, that congress authorize its exchange
for legal tenders, these, in turn, to be ex-
changed for fractional currency, and the
latter to be destroyed. A proposition to
this effect has been introduced, and will
probably be adopted. Another plan for
preYentinga earth of small change viii
be urged upon congress. 1t is to put
the finishing touches upon a large
quantity of fractional currency which
had been nearly perfected when the
funds of the treasury printing bureau
gave out, and which can be got ready for
circulation at very small expense. If
the fractionals are not used, the cost of
printing, paper, ETC., will be a total loss,
and it would be as well to finish up the
job and put the scrip in circulation.

SunAOwer seed

The seed of sunfowers is the most
healthy feed that can be given to horses
in winter and spring; half a pint a day
keeps them in health and spirited, with
sleek coats, and more animated than any
other food. 1t prevents "heaves" and
some other diseases. All places, with
ties, should have numbers of sunfiowers
growing about the residences. Then they
are great favorites with little birds

To Take Rust on a PIOwshare.

Take quart of water and pour slowly
into half pint of sulphuric acid. The
mixture will become warm from chem
ical action; put it on the iron and let it
remain there until 1t evaporates. Then
wash it again. The object of this is to
give the acid time to dissolve the rust.
Now wash with water, and you will see
where the worst spots are. Apply some
more acid, and rub on those spots with
brick. The acid and the securing will
remove most of the rust. Then wash the
mold-board thoroughly with water to
remove the acid, and rub it dry.
