The Constitutional Catarrh Remedy il the first
article placed before the public that proposed To
cure CataTrh by building up the Consultation. IL
struck at the root of the whole difficulty, and
thousands upon thousands of letters have been re-
reved by the proprietors setting forth the marvel
cures, and what Is remarkable, curing not only
the Catarrh, but all other ailments at the same
time. This Is what It always does. The following
statement rs only a sample of what we are con-
stanIly receiving from well known people to whom
its attendant evils, cold in head, hacking cough
incipient consumption, headache, pains In back
and loins dizziness. langudhess, loss of appetite
mended.

Experiment slations.

1t has been stated that the result obtained
at single station in Prussia has been worth
more to the farmers of that country than the
entire cost of all the stations up to that time.
This was stated on the authority of the
Minister of Agriculture, and leaves no room
to doubt, The fact, immense as it seems, is
only partial indication of the real utility
and value of such stations. Besides the new
and recent facts developed in regard to feed
ing, these institutions are also constantly
shedding new light on the other important
questions, and especially on the relative value
of commercial manures, and on the frauds
practiced by the vendors of them,
This question of adulteration is growing in
immense proportions, and can no longer be
neglected with impunity. Commercial ferti-
lizers, having value of less than three dol
lars per ton, have been sold in the market for
sixty dollars, and there seems to be, in fact,
no end to the vast and systematic swindling
by which farmers are robbed without limit
and without shame. Now if the establish
ments of experimental stations in this coun-
try would have the same effect here as those
abroad, if along with its other benefits it
would lead to the extripation of this nefarious
traffic; if it would drive out from the pres
ence of honorable men the vile swindlers
who have so long polluted the channels of
trade that suspicion is beginning to rest even
upon honest goods and truthful men, then we
say let us have these useful institutions at the
earliest moment, for the benefit to all parties
would be greater than any of us would rea-
lie. Let us have at least one of these estab-
lishments. in every state.-Cor. N. 7. atlas.

Jersey Cows.

When Jersey COWS were first introduced
in this country they were not at all popular
with the mass of farmers or dairymen. Cen
tlemen of means used to buy them on account
of their beautiful color and delicate appear
ance. They were, by the great mass of peo-
pie, supposed to be far more ornamental than
useful. Indeed, many practical farmers con-
sidered this breed of cows just about worth
less. But during the past ten years there
has been a gradual change in public senti-
ment upon this point and the cows which
were once despised are now in demand.
They have proved themselves of great value
for the production Of "gilt edged" butter,
and have manifested other excellent qualities.
The old and, for a while, very prevalent idea
that the cows of this breed are very tender
and require an extensive amount of care
and protection, seems to have been
wholly unfounded. Like all other breeds
they need good care in order to enable them
to make the best possible returns, but they
are not very difficult or expensive animals to
keep. That they are very rapidly coming
into popular favor may be proved by the fact
that while they were almost unnoticed at
large exhibitions of live stock few years ago,
the Jerseys were altogether the most promi-
nent at the Centennial and at the great St.
Louis fair the past summer; they outnum-
bered all the other breeds combined.
