II. r. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sir: When about six months old was vac
cinated. The parties who where vaccinated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent that was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my head. remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis
charging corruption from my car. At this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck, gradually in
creasing in size until tum0r formed of such i'm
mense size could see it by turning my eyes down.
ward. All this time was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit.
then went to prominent physician in Boston,
who, during his treatment of six months lanced the
tumor eight times, which cost me nearly $500. This
diminishing the size of the tumor, and in sickly,
feeble condition. consulted another physician in
Natick, who, after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the sore without reducing the size. At this
point commenced to use VEGETINE, through the
earnest persuasion of friend. After l had taken
this medicine about week 1 experienced wonder
ful sensations. My whole body seemed to be under
going radical CHANGE until finally the tumor broke
and discharged frghtfu quantities. From this time
it decreased in size until the bunch disappeared but
my neck still bears the ugly of the sore and
lance am now healthy and strong and able to
work every day.
will also mention that have been an acute suf-
ferer from infammatory rheumatism ever since can
remember, until commencing the use of VEGETINE,

Manure for Grass.

No crop gets less attention than grass.
If manfred at ali, it is only incidentally
with some other crop-rarely for itself
alone. Corn, wheat and barley get the
manure, and when seeded, the young clio
yer takes what is lett After this, If the
field be pastured, the droppings of ami
mals left in Jumps over the field are all
that the lands get till they are plowed
again. This is considered improving the
soil; and il is. No matter how misinan-
aged, clover is a benefit, and whatever
else he may do the farmer who sews and
grows clover is making his farm better
What, then, might not the result be ii the
same care were taken of the clover field
as of other crops? 1t does not need cul-
tivatilg; the long, deep-reaching roots
mellow and pulverize the soil as nothing
else can. If the clover grows thriftily,
the top acts as mulch, shading the
ground and keeping it moist A crop of
two tons or more of clover, whether plowed
under or cut for hay, can hardly fail To
leave the soil better than it was before. 1t
should be the farmers aim TO grow the
largest possible crops of clover A slight
dressing of gypsum 100 pounds per acre
in early spring-oiten produces wonder
ful results. But if farmer has little
well -rotted manure, the scrapings of barn
yards, fall is the time to apply il. Clover
is often injured by freezing ard thawing
winters, and very slight covering of
manure will afford a great deal Of protec-
ton. Rich earth from the corner of
fences is well worth drawing a short dis
tanee on young clover, provided the
ground is hard and firm. If the field is
not TO be moved next season, coarse ma
nure can be used. Pruirie Farmer.

The alarming extent OF chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. 1t has lately been ascertaiuea
that the disease is the result of other com
plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In Other
words, that rheumatism is symptom. II
is also found that, by the removal of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as a result which seems 70 substantiate
The theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment OF this
disease has been, and we now hail with Joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms Of these diseases
are generally present in cases Of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed tho
disease to be an effect ..... ...sa

can be found in the sHAKER EXTRACT OF

planted about the time of planting Indian
corn. on good land, (clover sod is best,)
which has been previously prepared by a
GOOD Dlowing and two harrowings. Lay out
the rows three and a-half feet apart, IN
which sprinkle the seed along as evenly as
nossible by hand, or which is better, by
ilsinr a common garden drill, and then
enrinklinq thereon o little good manure,
cover all with one-horse harrow, running
Il hack and forth on each row. After the
nlants are up about an inch or two run the
two.borse borrow Immediately over the
rows. back and forward, which will not
only kill the weeds, but give the young
plants good start. Don't be afraid OF
tearing them up, as they will require thin.

three or four inches apart IN the rows
Two and a-half quarts OF good clean seeo Is
amply sufficient for an acre. GIVE the
plants two civilizations either with the

they have become crooked, go among them,
and of such as have the brush fairly de,
yeloped bend down or break the stalks OF
all such about a foot below the brush,
leaving those stalks which have not the
brush fairly developed for similar subse-
ouent treatment. As soon as the seed IS
nearly ripe commence cutting off the brush
at the best place, taking at first two rows at
4. time and laying the brush to one SIDE,
after which cut down the decapitated stalks
of these two rows, laying them lengthwlse
the intermediate burrows, so as to form
sort of bed on which to lay the brush taken
from three or four adjacent rows on either
side, proceeding in like manner until all Is
cut. After allowing the brush to lie fol
three or four days tie up in bundles and
. shock as other corn, and haul in as soon as

In taking off the seed the operation /:
