Enough In One Bed.

Emigration to the State of Michigan was 80
great during the year 1856, that every house
was filled every night with travellers wanting
lodging. Every traveller there at that time will
remember the difficulty of obtaining bed in the
hotels even if he had two or three "strange bed
fellows"
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccentric Method
list minister, stopped one night at one of the ho-
tells in Ann Arbor, and inquired if he could have
. room and bed to himself. The ar-keeper told
him he could, unless they should be so full as to
render it necessary to put another in with him.
At an early hour the reverend gentleman went
to his room, locked the door, and soon retired to
his bed and sunk into a comfortable sleep.
Along toward midnight he was reused from his
slunbers by a loud knocking at his door.
Halo! you, there" he exclaimed, "what do
you want nom''-particular stress on the last
word.
"You must take another lodger sir, with you,"
said the voice of the landlord.
"What! another yetfn
"Why, yes-there is only one in here, is
there %
"One! why, here is Mr.. Brown, and Method
list minister, and myself already and should
think that enough for one bed, even in Michi-
gan"
The landlord seemed to think so, too, and left
the trio to their repose.

HOG Cholera.

DR.. J. W. Gray, a practicing physician aud a
scientific gentleman, who resides on a farm near
Calhoun, in Henry County, has devoted the past
eighteen months to investigating the disease
called hog cholera. This name, however, is q
Enisnomer, the disease is nothing like the chol-
era. The Doctor has a large herd of hogs, and
has every facility to study closely the disease and
administer curatives.
The Doctor says that the malady is an erup.
tive contsgion, and is moro of q type of measles
than anyt hing else, and runs its course with the
swine in a similar manner that the disease does
with the human race. The contagion is as east
ly cured as the measles. There is no preventive
when an animal has been exposed to one that is
diseased.
The disease is very likely to locate in the kid.
neys or bowels, and not on the lungs, as many
think, although it sometimes settles there.
The Doctor found but one instance where the
lungs were affected, out of large number of ca
ses that he treated.
The treatment is very simple and cheap, and
he offers to furnish the recipe and instructions
for the use of the remedy to any one who viii
make application to him, by letter or otherwise,
ut Calhoun, Mo. He further offers to take any
herd where the disease is raging and have them
appraised, when he will give security for the ap-
praised valuation upon any animal that dies,
provided that he is given the hog that is saved.
Tho Doctor will lay the matter before the Leg
islature of Missouri and Illinois, and will claim
the reward of 1000 offered by each Of the
States.
The receipt and directions have been left at
this Office, and will be furnished to the owners of
hogs. We are anxious to have it tested, and
hope that some of our friends will call at once,
as the Doctor invites a trial.-Sedalia Democrat.

Growing Maple Trees.

Naples are acknowledged to be among the
very best of our native trees for lawn and street
adornment. Their forms are good with the re-
qusite variation for different localities aud the
foliage of no other class of trees gives the deli
cate variation of beauty found in the autumn
tints of the naples.
The hard sugar maple is, when well grown in
open ground, a stately tree, suited to prominent
locations, while the red maple is beautiful al
most everywhere, but is more effective when its
rich carmine colors in the Fall can be contrasted
with good green. The silver leaved maple is
suited best to be grown on low ground the
back of q stream, where its dropping limbs can
bend toward the water.
These trees for planting are generally obtain
ed from the woods, and often receive such check
from change of soil and shade, that for years
they make little appreciable growth, and for the
same reason o large proportion die the first and
second years after transplanting. If people on
ly knew how all this uncertainty could be avoid
ed and that very easily, it seems as if they would
avail themselves of the information.
The naples all grow very readily in the nur-
sery rows from seed, and very small piece of
ground will grow large number of trees. The
carrots or turnips, the drills four feet apart or
the same distance as corn. These terminate
and grow the succeeding year, and should be
Kept clean and well cultivated. Soft naples
will make growth of foot or more the first sea-
son, and four years of growth in good soil will
make trees eight feet high and an inch or more
in diameter, which is plenty large enough for
transplanting into permanent situations.
These trees grown upon high, dry soil, if prun-
be transplanted with almost no check in their
development and when trees of even size and
similar shape are desirable, little nursery of
naples is the only place to get satisfaction.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under theedge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
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
ingeneral are costive, sometimes altena-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful 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 de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains ola
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after

who are afflicted with this disease to
give them FAIR TRIAL.

simple purgative, they are unequaled.

Death 10 the Apple Tree Bsrer.

Dcokn 70 inc apple Tree kB0fers
A farmer correspondent of the New York Tiib-
xRe gives that journal his method of Kidding his
orchard of these pests as follows:
! have waited for long time for some one to
invent an easy way of killing the apple tree boz
rer but the ch;sel, mallet, Knife and wire only
are Recommended, and in using them, have
had to cut six-inch apple tree until could sec
daylight through it, to kill single borer. My
way Of getting at this "worm of the dust" is an
cssy one and more effectusl. cut sumac, or
elder, one foot more or less long, punch out tho
pith, cut one end with slope, hunt the borer's
hole, clean it out at the entrance with a wire,
place tie beyeed end of my tube against it, take
some putty like clay that get in our spring
branch, plaster IL water-tight around the end
next to the tree, fill with very strong soapsuds,
and the thing is done. No matter how crooked
the hole is or whether it goes up or down, the
suds in the tube will force itself to the end. 1
have tried it two years, and have not failed
once. OF course, any kind of small, hollow Tube
will do anything that will make it water-ti tight
will do to plaster it with.
Harvesting New and u Hundred Years Age.
July is considered as the harvest month, and
q this year, and especially in this particular
month, we are all making comparisons between
things as they were a hundred years ago and as
they now sre, we may very we'll consider how
much better we are provided with harvesting
implements than our forefathers were. Instead
of STOPPING painfully over our crops, and cutting
them by handfuls with the sickle, we now lay
them down with the reaper all ready to be bound,
or even lay dow n the bound sheaves. In no de-
partment of human industry has there been
greater saving of labor, than in harvest work.
Il has now become not . work to be dreaded,
but the pleasing occupation Of gathering in the
abundant fruits of our labors, an occupation
which should be accompanied by thankfulnsss
and contentment. The repaper, mower, tedder,
horserake unloading fork and threshing machine,
all worked by horses OF by steam, are the contri-
button which mechanics have made to agricul-
ture, within the latter part of the last century,
and agriculture owes her sister art heavy debt
of gratitude for it-American Asricsltrrist.
