For nearly quarter of y century DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy has been acknowl-
edged by the people as positive cure for
all catarrhal affections. It's great popularity
with physicians and patients, together with
its constantly increasing sale, attests, in
arguments stronger than words, its healing
power. If there be general or nervous de-
bility and IMPOVERISHED blood, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery should be used in
connection with the Catarrh Remedy. The

hair. blood and offal of slaughtered ami
mails. carcasses of dead animals, fish,

rials ordinarily thrown away and wasted.
Such is compost heap, and no farmer
should be without something of the kind
from which to pay back to his soil the
fertility of which it las been de-.
priyed in the culture of crops; and
now is a good time to be commencing
one. If the farmer is not able to
purchase other and more expensive
fertilizers he can at least be scraping
together all such decomposable materials
as are lying around loose in every direc-
ton, and be making just such a
heap. In the north nothing of that
kind that can be thus appropriated
and utilized is lost, and it is rather
a poor commentary on the farmers
of the south to see the vast quantities of
worn.out land lying idle and perfectly
useless, when there are SO many mate.
rials ready at hand to reclaim and rem
der them productive. In building a
compost heap it is we'll to add a little
lime occasionally to hasten decomposi-
ton of the coarser materials, but not to
apply it in such quantity as will drive off
the ammonia. In heaps containing much
animal matter (and therefore the most
easily decomposed) considerable caution
should be observed and but little lime
applied, otherwise the ammonia will be
rapidly evaporated and lost. A bushel of
uuslacked lime, well-incorporated with
the heap, is amply sufficient for cord Of
deconposable matter; and then, il the
LIQUID manure from the stable-yard be
carefully saved in pit for the purpose,
and occasionally added thereto, the value
of the heap will be considerably en-
HANGED. On almost every farm there
are enough of such materials, if proper
ly utilized, to prevent deterioration Of
the land, and the farmer who neglects to
50 appropriate them shows a degree of
carelessness and 1--WE were going to say
a lack OF common sense not very COM
mendable; SO that every farmer should
make it point to build up one or more
of these heaps on his premises"
St. Landry democrat., 1878-02-16
Farm Economics.

As there is much soft corn, or corn the
cob Of which is not thoroughly dry, the
farmers should use great care in selecting
only the soundest and dryest ears for
seed, and store it in dry, airy place.
Do not put in the granary or over grain,
as the sweating of the grain destroys its
terminating qualities, and good crops
can not be raised without good seed.
Only save the best of everything for seed.
If the tools are not under cover long
before this, lose no time in putting them
there. Look them over and see if they
need repairing. It so, have it done the
first spare day, so that they will be ready
for the early spring work, as much time
and money is lost by the delays caused
by broken and rusty tools when most
needed. Stock OF all kinds should be
provided with comfortable quarters; it
does not pay to keep stock standing in
mud or snow. Itcosts more to feed them
than it would to provide shelter. Care
should be given to the poultry. Build
them good, warm house, with plenty
of room. Have good, clean nests pro-
vided, and give plenty of light. This,
with change of feed occasionally and
plenty of good, fresh water, will cost but
little, and they will pay you well by a
supply of fresh eggs for the table, or to
sell, nearly all the winter, and at this
time of the year they always bring a
good price,. Nothing on the farm pays
better than poultry in proportion to the
expense, and nothing is more neglected.
And now that winter is here with its
long evenings, be sure and supply your
self and family with plenty of reading
matter. Have at least one good paper;
it is almost as necessary in these days of
railroads and telegraphs as good seed or
tools.

Relief without "a Doctor

Though we would by no means be under
stood as deprecatiug, but rather as recoms
mending, professional aid in disease, there
az multitudes of instances when it is neither
necessary or easy to obtain. A family pro-
vided with comprehensive household
specific like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is
possessed of medicinal resource adequate
to most emergencies in which medical advice
would be otherwise needful. That sterling
tonic and corrective invariably remedies,
and is authoritatively recommended for
debility, indigestion, liver disorder, an
irregular habit of body, urinary and uterine
troubles, incipient rheumatism aud gout,
and many other ailments of frequent
occurrence It eradicates and prevents
intermittent and remittent fevers, relieves
mental dependency, checks premature
decay, and invigorates the nervous and
muscular tissues. Sleep, digestion and appe>
tite are promoted by it, and it is extremely
useful in overcoming the effects of exhaus~
ton and exposure.

The Home Doctor.

To REMOVE dandrutf, wash the scalp
frequently with bay rum and borax,
which will raise a Iather, and rinse off
with cold water.
To CURE weak eyes, take rose-leayes -
the more the better-and put them into
a little water then boil; after this, strain
it into bottle, and cork it tight. You
will find this liquid very beneficial IN
removing redness and weakness from the
eyes.
To STOP the flow Of blood, even from
a severe wound, bind on the wound the
fine dust of tea. After the flow has been
staunched, laudanum may be applied
with advantage.
A SIMPLE and safe vermifuge consists
of powdered rust of iron. 1t expels tie
worms and strengthens the constitution,
To child six years old, twenty grains
may be given. An adult may take
quarter of an ounce. 1t may be given
in molasses or in beer. Followed always
with an aperient--senna for child, cas-
tor oil for an adult.
For bleeding at the nose, the best
remedy, as given by DR.. Gleason, in one
of his lectures, is vigorous motion of the
jaws, as if in the act of mastication. In
the case of cAild, wad of paper should
be placed in its mouth and the child in
structed to chew it hard. 1t is the
motion OF the jaws that stops the flow
of blood. This remedy is so very simple
that many will feel inclined to laugh at
it, but it has never been known to fail in
a single instance, even in very servere
cases.
To CURE vertigo or dizziness, arising
from dyspepsia, eat food that is easily
digested, avoiding pastry and fat meat.
Sometimes it is.occasioned by costiveness,
and in this case the remedy is to keep
the bowels open with gentle physic
Avoid coffee, ardent spirits, late suppers,
and 90 to bed and rise early. Take
plenty of outdoor exercise.

FARM AND HOME.
yague of Corn for Export.

In q recent speech made in England,
Mr.. Caird said Indian corn, which ranks
among cereal grains next to wheat. in
imports was almost unknown in Great
Britain before the potato famine Of
1s45-47, and was not liked. in 1917
100000 tons were sent to Ireland, but by
1857 the imports had diminished to one
quarter of that amount. In 1867 it was
hardly more popular, but the bad harvest
of that year brought it into greater
request. 1t rose still further in 1875,
after the bad harvest that year, and in
1876, with another deficient harvest
here, it doubled at once the highest
previous importation. 1t is the cheapest
article of food in TIE market, being at
present little more than half the price 0
wheat per pound, and its introduction in
such large quantities greatly modifes
the pressure which would otherwise be
felt after deficient harvests in that
country. In this connection, as we have
hitherto remarked, the failure of the
turnip crop in England ought to add
largely to our sales in Indian corn there.
St. Landry democrat., 1878-02-16
Spaying Cows.

In the matter of spaying, the most
valuable experiments with which we are
acquainted are those performed by the
German veterinary surgeon Schmidt, in
1874 and !S75. This gentleman cas-.
trated, all told, twenty one COWS, and
carefully compared them with an equal
number of whole animals The result
of these experiments showed that for
several weeks after the operation the
animals lost flesh very rapidly, and even
at the end of the fifth week the loss in
some cases was as high as one hundred
and fifty~fve pounds. From this time
on the castrated cows showed no advan-
tages over the intact animals in laying
ON flesh; keeping pace with them, indeed,
but doing no more. AS to the quality
of their flesh, Mr.. Schmidt pronounces
that from the spayed COWS excellent, but
no better, in his judgment, than that of
the others. The experiment quoted
above had for its object, also, to ascertain
the effect Of spaying upon the production
of milk. The results in this regard
correspondent very closely to the produc-
tion Of flesh. In all cases there was
considerable decrease in the quantity OF
milk for some time after the operation,
in some cases this decrease being very
great. "In many cases the quantity of
milk never rose again.; in others it
reached the original amount, or there.
abouts, in few weeks time, but only
to fall off rapidly after very short con-
tinuance of that level. In most cases
the period Of lactation was extended, in
some cases to fourteen or fifteen, and, in
one case, to seventeen months" The
fact must be placed to the credit of this
operation that the milk obtained from
the spayed cows was greatly improved in
quality, there being very considerable
increase both of fat and caseine. /
