Pills II taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J.H. 5chenck,
of Philadelphia owes his unrfvalled success
In the treatment of pulmonary diseases -.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripen the morbid
matter In the lungs; nature throws on by an
easy expecforation. for when the phlegm or
matter Is ripe q slight cough will throw Il OF.
the patient has rest and the lungs begin to
heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this,
Schenck'sMandrake Pills and Schenck'sS Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse
the stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake
Pills act on the liver, removing all obstruc-
lions, relax the gall bladder, tho bile starts
freely, and the liver IL soon relieved.
Sciienck's sea Weed Tonic is n gentle slim
ulant and alternative. the alkalio Of which It Is
composed mixes with the food and prevents

fully prove, and then to more economically
than ever before supplement its work by
the use of ice. O. S. BLISS.
We have not given the Cooley system a
trial, and so cannot speak from expert
ence, nor have we observed its operations
except at the Dairyman's Meeting at Bur-
lington, but we have heard it well spoken
of, and as u saver of ice over that of any
other cold setting" arrangement.
If Mr.. Bliss succeeds in accomplishing
what he hopes to, the darymen will well
come the result of his studies most cor
daily.
We hope for some good results from this
general attention given to the different
methods Of setting milk. There should
be some general law evolved from all
these various and contradictory theories
and opposite practices, and the man will
be found, who with all the facts in hand, |
facts now known, and which will be elicit
ed in future, will discover and lay down
that law. But, as the matter stands at
present, it is trife mixed. /
Just imagine some one entirely ignorant
Of dairyiDg DESTROYS OF entering the bust
ness, and reading up the authorities on
the subject, as they do in law or language;
Where would he settle his ideas, and what
could he assume to be true beyond ques-
ton?

BUDDING FRUIT. TREES There nre two
wel-estahlished methods now in very
general use among experts in fruit-culture
for changing or multiplying yarities of
the same class on the same tree, and both
of these are simple and inexpensive. The
first Of these is known as grafttng, and
is only practiced on larger trees, and al
ways in the spring before the foliage is
developed. The other method, which is
much more rapid, and quite as sure when
properly done, is budding and the time
for doing this extends from the middle of
July until the first of September. When
ever the bark separates easily from the
wood, the buds may be set, with fair
chances Of success. The outfit for bud
ding consists of some narrow strips of
bass mating, such rs comes on the inside
of cofee-bags, and u pocket-knife with
single blade, with small piece of ivory
fastened in the end of the handle. When
the incision is made the ivory is used to
raise the bark up on either side, so that
the bud may be pressed into place. The
buds to be inserted should be cut from
young, healty trees, and always of the
present years growth, those that are most
matured being selected. The leaves may
hen be clipped off the branch Of buds.
eaving say half an inch of the leaf stock
attached to the bud. Then with keen
edged knife cut off each bud separated
from half to three-quarters of m inch

If man wished to trade off likely
colt for good pair of two-years old steers
or exchange some fat wethers for a new
mich cow, his way would be to seek about
for the man who wished 10 be the opposite
party for such bargain; who would dis
pose Of what he wanted, and who wished
10 gain what he wanted to get rid of.
The same principle is true of ideas, of
knowledge, except that men, many, at
least, do not seem as anxious to impart
what they know to others as to learn what
others know. This trade, the swapping of
experience, the exchange of ideas, must
be two sided affair, mutual benefit, and
our farmers are great losers in not avail
ing themselves more generally and fully
of the opportunities for such traffic
Every one of our farmers knows some
thing which some other one does not know,
and which it would profit him to know;
who in time might give in exchange for
the tat wethers of experience some new
milch COW of n new idea Farmers, write

your regular business, that you are out Of

and all that sort of thing 1t is not nee
essary that man should write copper

his grammar should be fautless TO make
him good farmer VIVA! is necessary is
to know something, and write il. with pen
or pencil on one side of the sheet only
and send it on. When the practical farm
ers will do this, rs body, or II majority of
them, the medium through which their

ception. Farmers, write for the FREEMAN.

It seems to be fathers greatest joy
To tell what he did when be was boy
Nothing very wonderful, so fairs can seei
And it seems pretty rough on a fellow like me,
When I've worked like a man all the long Summe
day
And boys can get tired don't care what they say
To have father declare, in his evening chat
" When was boy did better than that"
was bounl out when was boy,
Had never play day, a book or toy,
earned my first suit when was of age,
By working at odd hours for old Deacon Gage
often went barefoot, having seldom hat,
OF course bad extra clothes in cold weather,
But the clothes were not broadclOth,
Nor the boots patent leather"
Then he talks ofthis and that wonderful feat,
With little to wear and little TO eat;
How he never went either to church or to school,
Just picked up his learning without guide or rule
And says John to be sure, is easy to learn,
And always stands first at the close of the term,
But if I'd had his chance at books in my day,
don't think you'd have found me always at play"
Now am just AS willing as can be to work,
Nobody can call me bit of a shirk,
| don't ask for fine clothes or for frequent play
days,
For know fathers money has plenty of ways;
But when have done as we'll as can,
They might treat me as though I'd some day be
man.
I'm so tired the song father always has sung,
e did better than that when was young"

have personally seen much of the good
effects of this fine ground bone, and not
withstanding Mr.. Manchester's statement
that the bone is slow in action, | have
known of many results from the use of the
bone on the wheat crop more astonishing
than the one be refers to- | have known
of almost total failure of wheat, when
alongside the bone has brought a good
crop. | knew of an instance last year
where there was q IA bushels wheat to
the acre on the boned part, and only 8 IL
bushels without the bone. Out of seed
ing of twelve acres II neighbor of mine
has no grass except where he sowed the
bone. Where the bone was applied the
grass is dark colored and vigorous.
All the various makes of phosphates
and snperphosphates, rs we'll as bone ma
nures have been experimental with in
this section with good results generally;
sometimes there have been failures, but
have never known of an instance of fail
ure when this bone has been applied to
wheat by being drilled in with the grain,
or when applied to grass either as II top
dressing or when cultivated into the sur
face soil.
In Maryland we used to apply large
quantities of course ground bone which
gave good and long continued results, but
1t was somewhat slow in action. The bone
referred to is fine and it acts promptly,
and we can make very economical ap-
pllcation of it. Some of the farmers in
this region use phosphates, but as they are
all very offensive, and as we believe much
shorter-lived than the bone we prefer to
spend our money for the latter, knowing
that it is pure and certain in its action.

OF them had been boned, and the other

excellent, but if any difference, the boned
wheat has it; | have never seen better
stands of wheat than these. | have often
seen the bone in competition with manure,
and the bone has always been equal on the
wheat, and generally has been ahead on
the grass after the wheat. The bone Sc
cures the grass crop and consequently Il !

manure. In view of our own experience

DO NOT FACE THE LIGHT WHEN AT
WoRK,-Statistics tkept by oculists EN-.
ployed in inflrmaries for eye diseases have
shown that the habit of some persons in
facing window from which the liobt
falls directly in the eyes rs well as on the
work, inJure their eyes in the end. The
best way is to work with Il side lipht mr.
II the work needs strong illumination. so
that 1t is necessary to have the WORKING
table before the window, the lower nor.
ton OF the latter should be covered with
screen, so as to have a top light alone,
which does not shine in the eyes when the
head Is slightly bent over and downward
toward the work.
In the schools in Germany this matter
has already been attended to and the rnlo
adopted to have all the seats and tables so
arranged that the pupils never face the
windows. but only have the side liohts
from the left; and as light simultaneous.
ly thrown from two sides give an inter

forbidden to build school rooms with win

ing also proved injurious to the ewes of

We may add to this the advice not to
place the lamp in front of you when at
work in the evening, but little on one
side; and never to neglect the use of n
shade, so as 10 prevent the strong li0ht

How LATE SHOULD EGGS BE SEr?-I
frequently hear inquiries as to what date
it is best to cease setting hens for the sea-
son. AS a rule, find this to be at mid
summer, or about June Dist. Eggs set as
late as that, Matching July 18th, produce
quite late chickens. Asiatics Dorknos
and ducks ought not to be set later than
the LIST of June, as their large frames do
not fill out before the cold nights set in
and will not mature before winter. Leg
horns, Hamburgs, and other small breeds
may be set to the end of June, while
Bantams, which are wanted small, may be
set as late as the Goth of July.
Chicks Matched too late are poor stock :;
they generally get sick in cold weather !:
most of them die or drag out miserable
existence I'LL near spring, and then die
after all. If any survive they are always
puny. Such birds often produce more
mischief than they are worth, by gener
ating disease in the poultry house.-H. H..
