Judgment Of the Public !

During the past five years the public have care
fully observed the wonderful cures accomplished
from the OF Vegctlne. From Its use many an
afflicted sufferer has been restored to perfect health,
after having expended small fortune in procuring
medical advice and obtaining poisonous mineral
medicines.
1t Is now justly remarked by all classes of people
that Vegetine holds higher position in the estima
ton of the public than other medical compound,
and 1t has won Its great reputation and immense de-
mand from actual merit.
Its medical properties are Alternative, Tonic Sol
vent and DiuTetic. There is disease Ofthe human

Sowing Wheat.

The season is at hand when wheat
should be sown, and we advise every
farmer who has "wheat land".to s0w
enough to secure him his yearly supo
ply OF flour at least. ', Three years
ago we determined to quit sowing
wheat. We reasoned thus: the Wheat
crop is uncertain because OF the fre-
quent recurrence of rust; in these
days, too, Of luxurious freedom wheat
shocks are stolen from the field, and
even if they are not, the flour mills
are second rate, and Invariably dis
appoint in quantity or quality; oats,
too, will pay better than wheat, for
wheat has to be summed aud handled,
and is always wasted, Thus We
argued, and maturely considered tho
question, and finally determined to
SOW no more wheat. For three years
we have lived IN this way, and dur
ing that timc have bought good -four
at from 81 to SO per barrel. ...- "
Experience teaches usIit is not al
ways within the power of the farmer
TO raise seven dollars to pay for a
barrel OF -four, and former experience
taught us we could always have a
fresh and tull barrel Of -four on hand
by exchanging labor at the proper
time for wheat. Labor we can al
ways supply; greenbacIs we can not
always get. So we have come back
to first principles, and intend never
to buy another barrel of -four as long
as we can supply the labor, and land
up"n which to SOW wheat enough to
make our four, and We urge upon
our fellow farmers to do as we have
done.
To prepare to SOW wheat we ad-
wise deep ploughipg, surface manur-
ing, and thorough pulveri3atiop of
the soil, either by dragging or bar-
rowing Sow before a rain, rather
than after it, and, if possible, when
the land is dry and mellow.-~ln

WATERING HoRsEs. The Weekly
Gazette says :
A full drink of water, Immediately
after being fed, should never be al
lowed to horses. When water is
drank by them the bulk OF it goes
directly to the large intestines, and
little Of it is retained in the stomach.
In passing through the stomach, how"
ever, the water carries considerable
quantities Of the contents to where
it lodges in the intestincs. If, then,
the food of the stomach is washed
out before it is digesIed, no nourish-
ment is derived from the food.
A smalI quantity of fluid swallowed
along with, or Immediately after, dry
food, benefcialIy softens it, aud as
siste in its division. An inordinate
supply of water, of wariery fluid, on
the other hand, proves injurious. 1t
dilutes undnIy the digestive secre>
tiOns; it mechanically carries Onward
the imperfectIy digested food, and
thus interiors with the proper tunc-
tiOns Of the canal, and excites diges-
ton and diarrhea. These untoward
effects arc specially apt TO occur
where horses freely fed and too libero
ally watered are shortly put to toll
erably quick work. There is NO more
intallible method of producing collie,

a Story with a Moral

A gentleman. OF, middle age, who
had always been a farmer, had clear
ed up and improved one of the best
farms in Maine, erected near and
.conVeniant buildings, reared a family,
and was enjoying the blessings with
which he was surfoWfIded, became
possessed with the idea of selling lIis
farm. ",- ,..'. .H. ....-.....} =
f. Friends told him be could live so
much easier to 60 into the village,
where he could have nice house, a
garden, keep a COW, aud, If he chose,
horse, and live like gentleman on
the interest Of us money, that he
advertised his farm for sale. He
found no want of purchasers, and the
farm was soon disposed of for hand
some sum, Then the stock, farming
topls, ETC., were sold, and the place
that lie. Lad wrought With his own
hands,. the buildingo he had built for
his own convenience, and, according
TO his own notions, the spot where
he had raised his family, and around
which clustered 80 many associations,
passed into the hands of sfrangers
For time the gentleman did not
locate, as he desired to look around,
find place to suit him, and see
where he could be happy for the
remainder, of his days. At last he
found a place that suited him, pur-
chased it, and settled down to lite
again. But things did not go right.
He missed his old farm and house.
the silent but delighted company of
his cattle, sheep, and other domestic
animals, the scenes where he had
passed SO many happy years, and
the society Of his old neigh bors, tried
and true. He grew discon,ented,
and was we'll nigh sick. His wife
and daughters, also, werenot pleased
with their new home; it was halt a
mile from town, wi h little land,
and was what many wonld have
cal led a desirable place. Having
remained long enough in his new
place---he could not be said to have
lived at ALTO become satisfied he
should never be .contented, ho re-
solved to- have the old farm back
again. He went to the old man who
owned it, paid him five hundred dol,
lars more than w at he got, took
possession again of his familiar fields
and groves, and, having learned Il
wholesome lession from his transac-
ton, is now at work again upon his
old farm, a happier, wiser and bet
ter contented, if not a richer man.
Its moral to farmers and others ie,
that when they get DISCONTINUED and
sell out, they should be sure they
are able to buy back their old homes
and business, when they find they
have not bettercd themselves by the
change.

A BATTLE BETwEEN LAwYERs-THE
lnJUDGF REsToREs ORDER WITH A SIX
SHooTER. ,HJ ~ 49,. .., ..ta.- ,
u. The court was in session; the pre-
siding judge occupied theS.chair of
state with all becoming dignity; the
prisoner at the bar, arraigned for al
legged cruelty to animals, sat with
bowed head while the prosecuting
attorney hurled bis thnnderbolts, and
gave TO the case and the prisoner the
darkest coloring. The jury nodded
until the speaker commenced berat-
ing the counsel for demonstrating
expressions not over complimentary.
and then the six pricked up their
ears and listened. The counsel for
the defense reminded the speaker
that he was not in the habit OF re-
ceiving such high compliments in
open court. But the prosecutor,
not noticing the interruption, contin-
ued to send his shafts Of sal casm and
abuse with q liberal hand. a table
stood between these two loving disci
Piles OF Keat, and the much abused
counsel mounting it, b gun to lay his
cane about the broad shoulders of
the speaker with a touch which
showed how much lie was in earnest.
Lay Oh, Mac" cried a voice from
the crowd. "Whatsoever thy hands
find to do, do it with all thy might"
shouted another. The belabored at
torney, seizing chair, hurled it at
his opponent, but it missed it's mark
and went crash against the wall op~
posi'e. The cries of the judge on
the bench for "Ordel! order!" were
dr. wned i the confusion.
Arrest the combalants," cried the
Judicial functionary. One of the at
tendant officers started for the hero
If tire game, but hadn't,quite reached
him when friend of that lawyer
knocked the officer down. The judge
seeing the turn If affairs, descended
from bis lofty seat, and taking a six
shooter from the foored officer, SAID
that he would restore order in the
cenrt, at the same time waving the
deadly weapon over his head
ihe~crowd knew the judge too we'll
TO doubt for moment that he meant
what he said, and stood not upon the
order OF their going, but went at
once. When the Clouds (created by
the passage Of musty law; books, ETC.,
through the air during the conAlct)
begun to clear up, and somewhat OF
the dignity Of the court restored, the
judge said that he regretted such a
thing should have happened in q
Texas court, and regretted it the
more that his court should be the
scene of such disgraceful affair;
that in the future when lawy ers could
not controi their tempers in his court
he would give them an opportunity
to repair to a more suitable field
where they might satiate their blood.
The attorneys we're find twenty
five dollars each, and the gentleman
who hoored the officer was called on
to pay 500 as his share in the enter
tainment.
