can use it without Immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it tho duty of all Druggists to re-
commend it to the poor dying consump-

Caring for stock.

A great loss is sustaine ed by the aver
age farmer, says the American Culti--
UdtOr, who sells his cattle in store con-
dition, when every feeder knows that
animals pay better for their keeping
in the more advanced than the early
stages Of feeding. In store condition
they should be fed sparingly at first.
then gradually increase i'm the quan
tity of food, and since fattening cattle
grow more fastidious in their tastes, il
Is desirable to keep the best hay, and
feed to tempt them in their latter days.
Animals intended for breeding, or for
the dairy, are benefited by ordinary
exercise, but If for the butcher, the less
motion, the more fat. Exercise accel-
crates the waste of the body; the hard
er horse Is worked the more food he
requires, hence, in fattening cattle, the
quieter they are kept the more increase
Is obtained from given quantity of
food. All cattle require food contain
ing woody fibre; its bulky nature
cOmmingling with the more concen-
trated grains and'feed. seems to detain
the whole mass sufficiently long in the
stomach, to be thoroughly acted upon
and digested. Warmth, combined
with good ventilation, Is highly i'm
portant. 1t is necessary to secure the
latter requisite without drafts, hence
any openings should be at the highest
point, and the best results may be
obtained by an opening in the roof,
divided vertically into two parts; the
hot air rising and passing out at one
part, while the cold, pure air pours
down through the other. The barn
should be warm, not so close as to in
duce sweating, which is weakening
and otherwise injurious. The idea
that some farmers possess, that expos.
ure to the cold renders young stock
hardy, is fallacy.

How to Keep Butter.

During our nine years. residence in
Iowa 1t was our practice to buy (about
the first week of June), butter suffi-
cient to last q year. My wife would
pack 1t in stone jars with little brine
on top of tire butter. The bottom of our
cellar was gravel, and L used to set
them down in the gravel so that the
top of the jars was but little above the
cellar bottom, and we n ever had jar
of poor butter. One spring we had a
jar left over, and sold 1t to the same
merchant I bought it Of-buying at
fifteen and selling at thirty cents. And
one season we summered over a sur
plus jar, and used it the second winter,
In February and March, and 1t was
good. The fact that summer butter
has been kept fresh and sweet for win
ter use is positive proof that 1t can be
SO kept. The four essentials are 1t
must be well made. 1t must be salted
with pure salt. 1t must be so packed
as to entirely exclude the air. 1t must
be kept at low temperature. If any
one of these four conditions are want
ing, your butter will not keep. Yet,
after all, 1 believe the best way to keep
summer butter for winter use is to
keep 1t in the grasses and grains you
provide for your dairy stock, until near
the time you wish to market it. Kept
in this way it will never become
strong.-INinois Ddi'ynadn's Report.

A Vienna dispatch says the recent
Russian successes have renewed the war
agitation in Belgrade. The Russian Off
cial bulletins report continued progress
on the PlevDa and Orchanie and the Lo-
vatz and OrchanIe roads. Titeven and
Tursklesver are occupied by infantry and
cavalry, and a cavalry detachment has
penetrated Yalbanitza Pass In pursuit OF
the retreating Turks.
y A Turkish force numbering between
1000 and 1000 men from south OF the
Balkans attacked a Russian force at
Mahren, south of Elena, and after thi ee
hours fighting the Turks retreated, leav-
ing 100 dead and many wounded.
An Erzeroum dispatch, dated Monday,
says that severe attack was made to-day
on the Turkish positions. There was
fighting along the whole line. After ten
hours engagement the Turkish center
was driven In, and tho Turks compelled
to fall back. Mukhtar Pasha was slight
ly wounded. The Russian forces from
Xrdahan have entered the Western
Euphrates Valley, endangering the line
of communication between Batoum and
Erzeroum and Erzeroum and Trebizond.

THE ELECTIONS.

The first returns Indicate that the
Republicans have carried Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Massachusetts and Kansas,
and that they will probably haye q
majority in the New York Legislature.
The Democrats carry Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New York, New Jersey
and Mississippi.
The Democrats lost heavily in New
York city, and John Morrisey, anti
Tammany' candidate, Is elected to the
State Senate. Chemung County was
carried by the Greenbackers..
The Democrats gain upon the vote
for Tilden In Pennsylvania.
In Massachusetts, the plurality for
Gov. Rice Is larger than at his last
election.
Detroit city election went Demo-
cratic, except the Treasurer. Under
the new law, the saloons were kept
closed.
Later returns make the Democratic
majority In the State of New York
5000 to Is, 5,000;and small Republican
majority In each branch of the Legis-
lature. John Morrissey's majority
over Schell is fully 1000.
The Democratic majority In Penn
sylvania is 8,460 for State Treasurer.
As Sterret has been uniformly running
ahead Of his ticket for Supreme Judge,
there is some doubt as to the final re-
suit for that Office. Col. Wilson,
Chairman of the State Republican
Committee, on private advices, figures
up q majority of between 1000 and
3,O00 for Judge 6terret In the State. .
The latest returns from New Jersey
give Mcclellan 1880 majority over
Newell. The Legislature Is Demo-
cratic In both Houses. The Senate
stands IL Democrats and Republicans;
the House, 81 Democrats, 2 1ndepend-
ents, and ~ Republicans.
In Wisconsin the Democrats concede
the election of the whole Republic n
State ticket. The majority for Gov
ernor will be over 5000. The Legisla-

thrust his head into darkness to find, to

SANITARY REFORM ON THE FARM
Decaying vegetable matter about the
house, around the wells, and in the
cellar, are prolific causes of disease in
the farm house. Ill treatment of cows,
getting them excited and then feeding
the milk to children is q practice liable
to be attended with fatal results.

air, causes catarrhal and skin diseases

Farmers frequently have occasion to
sell turkeys by live weight, and wish
to know what Is the fair relative price
between live and dead weight. In
turkeys dressed for;theNew York mar
ket, where the blood and feathers only
are removed, the loss is very small.
For the eastern markets the heads are
taken off and the entrails are taken
out. This makes loss of nearly one
tenth in the weight. A large gobbler
was recently killed, weighing 3l3 lbs.
