Philadelphia, Penn.
|E PENNSYLV VAN A RAJ R0A
THE GREAT TRUNK LINE.

FAST MAIL ROUTE OF THE UNITED STATES,
is the most direct. convenient and economical way
of reaching Philadelphia and this great Exhibition
from all sections OF the country. Its trains to and
from Philadelphia will pass through GRAND
CENTRAL DEPOT, which the Company have
erected at the Main Entrance to the Exhibition
Grounds for the accommodation of passengers
who wish to stop at or start from the numerous
large hotels contiguous to this station and the Ex-
hibiton-a convenience of the greatest value to
visitors and afforded exclusively by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, which is THE ONLY LINE RUN
MING DIRECT TO THE CENTENNIAL BUILD
INGS. Excursion trains will also stop at the En-
campment of the Patrons OF Husbandry, at Elm
Station on this road.

of heavy steel rails upon deep bed of broken
stone ballast, and its bridges are all of iron or
stone. Its passenger trains are equipped with ev
cry known improvement for comfort or safety

the parties were heavily fined, but
there was an lntimation given that if
this compound was sold as COM
pound and not as butter, it could be
lawfully exposed for sale. But as
butter, any person dealing in it was
liable to fine.

A writer in the Oskaloosa Herald
gives some advice about profitable
ways of sailing stock: "In winter
sail your rough feed, and in spring,
summer and fall, salt your weedy and
brushy patches, SOW the salt broad
cast while it is wet, and see how the
cattle and sheep will go for the bush
es. You can salt the weeds along
the fence, also, if you are too feeble
to NOW them"
The New York Tribune says
The market for our farm products is
widening. Since last July American
cattle have been received at Glasgow
to the number of from $50 to $50
head per week. Meat has also been
imported there regularly, the average
quantity being $50 carcasses weekly.
In time this transatlantic traffic may
be expected to attain large proper
tons.
Through the exertion and patron
mage of the Chicago "Stock and Agri.
cultural Association" large party
has started to establish a colony on
the Charma River in New Mexico.
Some of them 60 for health, and 9th
ers to better their condition. In the
porty are several families from Adair
County Iowa.
A citizen OF Dallas County, in the
Earm Journal, describes the change
in that country, in the past few years,
in the following prose poetry; ''lt
seems as if the wand of some kiud
enchanter had touched the desert and
it blossomed into homes, orchards,
groves, seas of grain that break upon
shores of corn, the wilderness lost i'll
cultivation and the teeming earth Civ,
ing up her treasures to an eager, in
telligent hungry people,"
Hard times, no matter from what
cause, by the ignorant, is always
charged to the then rulers of the
government. From all accounts
there are hard times now in many
portions of the South. A writer
from Franklin, Alabama, says: "The
oldest business men in the country
say they have passed through all
kinds of reverses and hard times,
from 1881 down; but that they have
never known anything to equal the
present in the utter prostration OF all
business. There is absolutely moth
ing doing and no money"

Annual Fairs.

The season for these annual ex-
hibitions is at an end for this year.
In some cases they have been graft
flying successes to those who have
labored increasingly for their pros
perIty. But in many cases they have
been sad failures, from causes which
no human courage or ingenuity
could overcome. But success or de-
feat are great and profitable lessons,
teaching in a way not to be forgotten
by the most careless observer. Fairs
cannot and must not be abandoned,
but more thorough preparation must
be made for them. Ample, extensive
and permanent buildings and sheds
will have to be provided, to guaran-
tee the safety of all goods, and the
comfort of all visitors. When the
societies meet to rcorganize for an
other year, listen to no proposition
to disband, or give up in despair,
but meet the question of better ac-
commodations with that spirit which
always commands success. There is
enough lost nearly every year to
build coverings for everythingneces-
sary to insure success to any county
fair. The defeat after a year of toll
and energy to have the exhibition
equal to the best fairs, is hard to be
borne by the officers and managers
of the society. A good, convenient
and cheaply constructed plan should
be devised suitable for county fairs,
and then appeal to all the citizens OF
the county to come forward and do
their part in sustaining the credit,
the interests and laudable pride of
the county, in erecting buildings in
which it will be pleasure to spend
a damp or stormy day at our annual
fairs. The patience of your best
men is nearly exhausted over labor
and preparation, to be drowned out
by long and drenching rains. Fairs
must be held. The great interests
of industry must be stimulated by
the exhibitions of the products of
labor, genius and science. The ben
efits Of side exhibitions are not prob
lematical. The Worlds Exposition
at Philadelphia will advance mechan-
ical arts and industry awaken genius
and invention, and aid the civiliza-
ton of the world more than was
achieved in the thousand years from
Alfred the Great to the coronation of
Queen Victoria. We were never
more fully convinced Of the benefits
Of eXpositions and fairs than in read
ing the graphic description of the
Centennial Exposition by that careful
and discriminating English writer,
Douglas Gallon.
We urge all of our Iowa county
fairs, at their annual election Of off.
GERS, to take advanced steps in this
matter. The people never tall to aid
literally III such matters when liberal
things are devised. Three thousand
dollars judiciously spent will save
any county fair from doubt or defeat.

Agricultural Societies Take Notice. ;

Scattered thickly over France may
be seen posted the following notice
from the Minister of Agriculture:
MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE.
"This placard is placed under the
protection of good sense and public
decency.

rodents, slugs, and grubs (vers blancs)

from twenty to thirty insects an hour.
Don't kill the toad.
The mole is continually destroying

Practical Suggestions.

Never strike horse for starting
or shylng when an unpleasant object
presents itself, nor when their fears
are excited. A soothing word, a
steady rein, and a gradual introduce
ton to the object which excites the
animal will soon teach him to confide
in his master and become fearless
We have taken horse at 10 years
old, whose nerves were very eXcita-
BILE, and who had become unmanage-
able and would run away at the
sound of or sight of locomotive or
railroad train or any object suddenly
presented in the road, and after a
few weeks steady handling and kind
ly talking to on the road and in the
stable had him stand and view an
approaching railroad train quietly; a
horse which no rein or bit would
hold when once excited became man.
ageable with a slack rein anda sooth-
ing word.
A dairyman whose attention was
called to the fact of an increase in
milk the days he gave his cows salt,
experimental until he decided that
salt given in small quantities every
day is the best way. salt in the
morning just before turning them
out, a tablespoonful to each COW, and
the flow of milk will be considera-
bly, increased every day.
Sheep will nibblc and pull their
own wool when their skin is 1rr1tated
by lice, ticks, or some disease, such
as scab. The irritation may also be
caused by too high feeding or too
warm pen. A teaspoonful of sulphur
with an equal quantity of cream of
tartar and salt given once a day for
a week may tend to allay the irrita-
ton. If the sheep will not take it
readily, it should be placed upon the
root of the tongue with a spoon, AID
the mouth held up until it is swallow

Henry Black of Ada, Hardin Co., Ohio, says :

She is now completely cured by the use Of Cen

recommend your wonderful medicine to all our
friends

Centaur Lniment cured my neuralgia"
Alfred Tush. of Newark, writes: Send me
one dozen bottles by express. The Liniment has

The sale of the Lniment is increasing rapidly
The Centnur Linimcnt, Yellow Wrapper,

HORSES, MULES AND ANIMALS.
We have never yet seen case of SPAWN Swee
ny, Ring bone, Wind gall Scratches or Poll-Evil,
which this Linimcnt would not speedily benefit,
and we never saw but few cases which ii would
not cure. 1t will cure when anything can. 1t is
folly to spend $50 for Farrer, when one dollars
worth of Centaur Liniment will do better. The
following is n sample of the testimony produced:

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the rightside, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patientisrarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently
extends to the top of the shoulder, and
is sometimes mistaken for a rheuma-
tism in the arm. The stomach is affect
ed with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive, some
times alternative with lax; the head is
troubled with pain, accompanied with
dull, heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
Of memory, accompanied with a pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes
an attendant. The patient complains
of WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensation
ofthe skin; his spirits are low: and al
though he is satisfied that exercise
would be beneficial to him, yet he can
scarcely summon up fortitude enough
to tryit. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy.. Several of the above symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have oc-
Cured where few of them existed, yet
examination of the body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensivcly deranged.

Cnstori, is the result of 20 years expert
ments by DR.. Samuel Pitcher, Of Massachusetts,.
1t is vegetable preparation effective as Castor
Oil but perfectly pleasant to the taste. 1t can be
taken by the youngest infant, and neither gags or
gripes. Dr. A. j. Green, OF Royston, Ind. says
OF it.
SIRs Il have tried the Castora and can speak
highly OF its merits 1t WILL think, do away en-
tirely with Castor Oil. II is pleasant and harmless
and is wonderfully eflicacious an aperient and
laxative. 1t is the very thing.
The Castoria destroys worms, regulates the
Stomach, cures Wind Collie and permits natural
healthy sleep. 1t is very efcacious in Group and
for Teething Children. Honey is not pleasanter
to the TASTE and Castor Oil is not certain in its
effects. 1t costs but IS cents in large bottles
