Gentlemen-I feel it my duty to write few words

severe cold, and shortly afterwards distressing
cough was added to it. My friends did every thing
they could for me, but without avail best
physicians that could be procured did not relieve
me, and my cough continued with me all through
the winter with increasing severity. I spit blood
three or four times day, and my friends consider
ing my case hopeless, gave me up as a confirmed con-
sumptiue. was in this condition when I heard of
DIR. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY. began
its use, and before had taken half bottle of it, my
cough and all my other troubles lett me, and I was
cured. feel so truly indebted to this great remedy
for what it has done for me that send you this Vol
untary testimony, hoping it may be the means of in
ducing others who are suffering as was, to make
oft, 1t is the best remedy for lung complaints
that ever heard of, and I am constantly recon-
mending it to my friends.

Sheep make nodding.motion of the head
when feeding, owing to the peculiar forma-
ton OF tie jaw and teern. sheep have no
teeth in the upper jaw, but the bars or ridges
of the palate thicken as they approach the
fore part of the mouth, and the dense fibrous
plastic matter of which Ethey are constructed
forms a bed or cushion occupying the place
of cutting teeth, and in fact partly discharg-

held between the front teeth in the lower jaw
and this bed or pad, and is brought away by

1t is said that Cinnamon who have re-
sided in California, having learned to prefer
wheat to rice, have, on their return to their
native land, increased the taste for and cult
walton of wheat in China. They cultivate so
much more closely than we that forty bushels
to the acre is about the lowest yield, and this
pays well at twenty-five cents bushel, de-
livered at Hong Kong. Their sweep of
country adapted to wheat exceeds that of the
Pacific slope ten fold, and their cost of labor
is seventy-fve per cent. less. AS competi-
tor of California China may shortly become
formidable.

The abolition of Cylinders from the
bride of horses is the latest reform. The
opinion seems to be gaining ground that these
devices to prevent horses from seeing with
freedom are not only useless, but worse than
that, being the exciting cause of many acct
dents. Then, again, observation shows that
great many ofthese binders are not prop
erly sustained, and by continuously tapping
into the eyes of horses, tend to destroy their
sight. Owners of horses would do well to
investigate the matter intelligenty and
govern themselves accordingly.

Plants feed mainly at the extremities OF
the rootlets through mouths too small to be
seen by the naked eye. The finer the ma
nure is made the more easily it is dissolved in
water, and the sooner it passes into the cir
culation. The cultivator who intends to
secure maximum crop, or even tolerably
paying yield, will find it necessary to attend
to his fertilizers, whatever may be the kinds
employed, and TO reduce them to suitable
degree of fineness before applying them to
