A Great Convenience,

It is now nearly three weeks ago since
we paid visit to the farm of Abram
Howe, Jr., in Burnside township, about
four miles from this city. Mr.. Howe
cultivates about four hundred acres of
land, and his farmhouse and out.build.
ings are model improvements. The
dwelling is not as large as we expected
to find, but it is very conveniently ar
ranged and comfortably furnished
throughout. There are two large barns,
one Of which has wing extending near
ly across the space between, leaving
only a roadway between the end of the
wing and the side of the other barn,
thus nearly enclosing on three sides the
space between the two main buildings.
The lower stories of these barns are d.
vided into stables for horses and cattle
and, as the walls of this story are of
stone, they make exceedingly comforta-
ble shelter for the stock even in the
coldest weather, and are cool and pleas
ant in the summer.
The upper parts Of the barns are used
to store forage for the stock and shelter
the farm machinery. One room being
set apart for a work shop, where we
found work bench and set of tools,
ready for use in case Of repairs being
needed, or any carpenter or wheel
wright work that an ordinarily ingen-
lous man could do being required. The
granary is also located in one end of
one Of the barns. In the rear of one
barn, far enough distant for its odor to
be innoxious to the cattle, is two-sto-
~ pig-stye with an enclosed yard behind
it. The lower part is all that the pigs
are permitted to occupy, but that is
fitted up in a style which they, no doubt,
regard as luxurious. Atleast it is clean
and warm, and provided with doors
through which their hogships have
egress to the yard in the rear.
This floor as well as the ground of
the yard has a considerable inclination,
and the filth is thus carried off constant
ly. The upper story Of the pen is used
to store the feed for the porkers, and
has convenience for boiling 1t and pass
ing it down to them. At the time of
our visit this apartment was occupied
chiefly by the hogs themselves, q num-
Der of which had been killed in the pen
below and hoisted up here to be cleaned.
And the water tank, used ordinarily
for boiling their feed, was now appro-
priated to scalding the hogs themselves,
preparatory to scraping of the hair and
bristles. In the area between the barns
is small building containing steam
boxes for boiling the feed for the cattle,
for Mr.. Howe seems to believe in cook
ing the food Of all his stock, and has
made ample pre- parations to do 90 with
the least trouble.
Decending the hill'in the rear Of the
barns, at the distance Of one hundred
feet from the nearest corner Of these
buildings, we came to little frame
building with tall iron smoke stack,
not much larger than a stove-pipe. In
this is a large steam boiler, and beneath
it is well in which steam pump is
inserted. Here is the source of supply
for the cold and hot water used in the
barns and pig-pen to water the stock
aud boil their food, and, also, Of the

 Thousands of human being are yearly borne on the swift current of disease down to the grave, just because they do not possess sufficient knowledge of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, Epf How h your ,heelth ? The reply ception of slighf soId. Most persons lightly regard cold. Reader. do you know that cold is one of the most dan- gerous of maladies ? A cold not only clogs up the pores of tue, entire system, andlretards cifcuiation, butit is produc- tive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to Consumption. '.Oh," you say, eft is nothing but cold in my head" True ]: but that cold is really mild form of Ca tarrh, and if not arrested in it's course will become chronic. Catarrh is one of the most disagreeable, offensive affections in the catafcguea of diseases. The passage to the nose is obstrueted, the sense of smell is impaired, and there is disagree able sense of pressure in the head. In more advanced stages, there is discharge having an offensive odor If the disease be allowed to continue in its course, thick, hard incrustations will form in the head, the bones of which sometimes become softened ,and bread away in, pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer from such an annoying, disgusting disease, when they can just as we'll be cured of it? pr.

So nearly perfect the recipes of these wonderful painsoothng and healing Centauf Ianiments that we can confidently say they VIII alleviate any pain arising from flesh, bone or muscle Arrangements. We do not pretend that they will mend broken leg or exterminate boiIs. but in such they will reduce the inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can we guarantes the proper results where the body is poisoned by whiskey. Temperance is as necessary to proper physical as mental condition.
 The White Centaur Iiniment is particularly adapted to all of Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Eryspelas, Itch Sprains Chilblans Cuts, Bruises Stings Poisons Scaids Sciatica, Weak Back Pains in the side, Wounds. Weeping sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, PaIsy ache, ,Tooth-ache Headache. Ulcers, Old Sores Broken Breasts Sore Nippes Sore IT roet Group Diptheria etc. The most of these plaits the centaur Lnent will eure all of then. it will benefit. It will extract the poison from bites and stings and will cure burns and scalds without scar. The following is but a'sample of thousand similar testimonials:

 One aolar, even fifty cents, invested in centaur sL1aimsnt MfIlbe within @reach wlaen an aceldeat occurs, and will do more good than any amount of money paid for medical attendance. When physicians are called they frequently use this Liniment, and of course charge several prices for it.
 The Yellow Centaur Eminent. is adapted to the tough skin. muscles and flesh of the animal creation. Its effects upon severe cases of spavin, Sweeney, Wind-Gall, Bg-Head and PollEvil, are little less than marvellous.
 Messrs. J. Mcclure & Co.,. Druggists, cor. Elm ana Front Sts, Cincinnati, O., say:
 ''In our neighborhood number of tteamsters are using the Centaur Liniuents. They pronounce su. perior to anything they have ever used. We sell as high four to five dozen bottles per month to of horses and mules." .-,.
 We have volumes of testimonials describing of sprans. Kicks, Calls Poll-Evil, Big Head, and even Founders, which are little less than marvels. No owner of animal afford to be without bottle of Centaur Eminent, which any day may prove worth twenty times its cost.
