SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased LIVER.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie OH the LETT
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently eX-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and IS
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism IN
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are Costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There Is
generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation OF
having left undonc something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
I prickly sensation Of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial 10 him, yet
he can scarcely summon up tortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dlstrustS
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
lave occurred where few ofthem existed,
vet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been eX-
ten@vely deranged.

ploWed land during the fall and winter. Mr.
Cole claims that sheep are the best means
for destroying their eggs after they are del
posted. 4
'sAfter the 'hoppers are Matched out, he
thinks that sheep will destroy them thorolgh-
ly if driven over the ground, This, perhaps,
may seem new and novel use for SHEEP,
but it is good one.
''Harpin Davis. one Of the most proani-
nent farmers of Colorado, has travelled ex-
tensively through Northern Colorado during
the last six months, and gives us the bene-
fit of his experience, researches, and inves-
legations. He thinks that little Is to be
feared from the incursions of grasshoppers
during 1876, if water is got into the bitches
early in the season. Care should be taken
that the water runs freely in the outside
bitches, as If the young grasshoppers getin-
to the water they are pretty sure to drown
IF the 'hoppers get over the outside ditcles
they can be caught by having holes dig
several feet inside the bitches, in which a
few inches OF water should be kept, will a
little cold tar on top. The insects droppilg
into these holes will be drowned Or killed
by the tar on the water. We are promisd
a fuller statement from Mr.. Davis-givilg

the locusts.

usual crop, although the 'hoppers were ba
on his farm last year. He will depend d

years In any season the advantage is al
ways in favor of Well-plowed land.
The soil should be in suitable condition to
work. Not too wet, as it will cause the earth
to become dry and hard during the entire
season. 1t is of little use to work land in
which there is surplus of water. Both la
Dor and manure are wasted in the cultiva-
ton Of such lands. Drainage should pro-
ceed the plow. A large per cent. of the land
worked in this country is too wet for sue
cesstul cultivation. When taken in the ag-
gregate, the loss from such cultivation is
very great. 1t is time there was reform
i'll this respect.
AS q people we are too much i'm hurry.
We attempt to make quicker progress by
emitting the details in our business. We
have but few good workmen in any depart
ment of industry, because few can afford the
time to learn their trades. They ignore the
position of journeymen they demand to be-
come master-Workmen at once. The effect
Of this is visible in all kinds of mechanical
work, and we are often reminded oft at our
cost 1t is SO upon the farm we cannot af-
ford to do much of our work properly, and
i'm consequence are compelled to submit to
great loss, Neglect with the ploW probably
subjects us to more loss than that of any
other implement used on the farm. Let
there be a reform in this, and one condition
which is favorable to hard times will be re.

GOOD FLOWING.

The plow is the most important imple1
ment of husbandry. Good plowing lies at
the foundation of all successful culture. The.
plowman. How much, not how well, is too
apt to be his motto. But few take pride in
their work none that have ever seen ex-
eel. The best work that ever came under
my observation was done by foreigners !;
men who had served an apprenticeship at
the business, and took great pride in their
smooth, even filrrows, which to the observ-
er does not vary in depth or width in the
least throughout their entire length.
It is doubtful, if in taking the country
through, any farm work is more imperfect
ly DONE Ignorance and Indifference are the
chief causes of this. Many have no definite
idea Of what constitutes good work, and it
would be mere chance if it were done in the
best manner. Others are in haste to get the
lob done, and cannot spare time to do ii
well. The saving expected i'll this manner
is poor economy. The aftel-culture is made
much more difficult, and the yield materially
decreased in consequence. Any other work
connected with growing crops may be
sighted with less damage than this.
It is not from want of proper nipple.
ments that the work is not better done. In
ventive genius has been freely employed ii
this direction. We have a great variety Of
patterns, suited to all kinds of work, eacl
doing good work in its proper place. AL
though great Improvement has been made
those which would do good work have ex
listed for long time. At our county fair,
few years ago, the best work was done b.
an old plow which had been in use fift!
years before. The plow should be draw
by strong, steady team. If there are man!
obstructions, oxen are preferable to horses
Much loss resulted during the dry seasons
a few years since, by using weak team

AG RICU L 7 i RAJ.
GRAssHopPERs RECORD FOR 1876.

Everywhere we have been throughout the
Territory, the universal topic Of converse
ton has been grasshoppers. Tt is generally
conceded that they will make fearful inroads
upon crops the present season, and many of
our best farmers feel discouraged. They
deem it useless to war against them. But
we know Of instances where small crops
have been saved, by dilligent effort, and
would still ask our farmeres to try some Of
the remedies we have suggested. We will
continue to spread before them, from time
to time, all the information we can gather,
calculated to be of any practical advantage.
The following hopper talk from the Colo
rado Farmer, contains some suggestions that
may prove beneficial:
SIN view ofthe fact that Colorado has been
devastated by grasshoppers for two years
past the Fea7aer will give particular atten-
ton for several issues to means and methods
for meeting and experimenting with these
pests.
cit is believed that many of the native
,hoppers have been already hatched, but
that few of the eggs deposited by the $ To-
teryiewed large number of farmers and
ranchmen representing Northern and South
ern Colorado in regard to the best plans for
preventing the ravages OF the locusts and
present the experience and plans OF several,
and shall continue to add to the ''experl-
ence list' from week to week,
s. First on the list we will place Rufus
Clark, ESQ., Potato Clark who raised
over 100000 pounds of potatotes in 1875,
and who has fought grasshoppers success
fully for the last fifteen years. Mir. Clark
uses as a grasshopper trap piece OF OIL
cloth. nine to twelve feet long, and six feet
wide; one side and each end is secured &c
light wooden strips by common carpet tacks
and the corners strengthened by braces.
.sThe oil cloth is smeared with coal tar
purchased at the Denver Gass Works fol
S.. 80 per barrel, and the trap is dragged
over the ground by two men--a cord aoou
ten feet long being fastened to the front cor
ners for that purpose. The entire expense
of the "trap'' is about $3.50, and as it il
light and easily handled will be found service
able on small as well as large farms.
aMr. Clark thinks if all farmers woul'
unite in using this trap that all the grass
hoppers that invade the Territory could b
destroyed. He does not fear the 'hoppers
and proposes to put in the usual amount G
ground in potatoes and other crops that h
has been accustomed to.

M Miller, residing near Salida, Califer-
MIA, has growing in his garden species of
wheat which may be termed perpetual A
few kernels were furnished him some years
since and soWn. They matured and bore a
healthy crop and continue to send out new
shoots from the parent roots. These new
shoots continue to put forth and in turn
bear their crops, when Immediately there
after other shoots spring from the same
root bearing sheaves of grain which mature
and ripen also. The roots which presented
themselves some three years since are still
alive and have borne several crops. Moist
nre and moderately warm weather are all
that appear to be required to keep them
constantly reproducing. It is to be hoped
that Mr., Miller will study closely this Won
der of the cereal world, experiment with va
rious soils and fertilizers, note all the re-
auirements of the plant necessary to its sue
cessful production, and give to the agricul-
'tural press the benefit of his experience. At
The first glance the general impression will
undoubtedly be that of unbelief in the re-
production of crop from the same roots as
being opposed to the nature of the seed and
95he properties of the plant. On the other
hand there are marvels in nature beyond the
ken of mans finite comprehension. There
may be something after all in this reproduc-
ing Miller wheat. Many will be found who,
doubtless, like Colonel Sellars, will firmly
believe . there's millions in it.
