To Prevent Sickness.

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
Therapcutists indicate that most diseases
arc the direct result of vitiated Blood; and
as their successful treatment of disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by .judicious
purgation so this same principle, by rea-
sonable adaptation to any case, is the
surest means to prevent disease.
Keller's Vegetable Life Drops are an alb
solute preventive ofdiseases caused by inn
purity Of the Blood, of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, Intcstines, etc. It's
corrective influence will prevent or short
en- attacks Of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Nerv-
Gus Debility, Uterine disorders, Fever and
Ague and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced by malarial poison. To pre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood if
needed by using a reliable Alternative and
purgatiye; this, conioined with the observ-
ance of hygienic directions, will establish
a condition Of body in which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful perusal of the "Alanual Of Purga-
tive and Depurativc Medicine" will fully
Illustrate the subject of which the above
is mere outline, and will clearly indicate
the method Of using Keller's Vegetable
Life Drops. To be had at Drug Stores or

prints the following: County Treas
urer Hawkins has paid since he be-
came Treasurer, S105,500 of bonded
debt, and to day Washington county
is out of debt. Fcrty-tive thousand
dollars of this sum was paid out of
the levy and collections for the cur

the taxpayers of Washington coun-

fairs and look forward to reduction
Of taxes next year. All this has been
accomplished under Republican
management.

How to Cure Sickness

Natures method of publication and
consequent cure is founded on the rational
principle Of judcious purgatiOn;and when
it is considered that the best physicians
pursue the practice of attention to the
stomach and bowels as preliminary (and
often the only treatmenAof disease, it is
not difficult to perceive that q remedy
possessing all the requisites of purgatiye
and Alternative, in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
foritself more than ordinary consideration
and favor. Our remedy combines every
quality required for the treatment of dis
ease on the abCve-named rational prinCi-
pie. 1t is a pleasant Cathartic, active
or gentle, according to the dose; it is q
Blood purifier toning and enriching this
fluid by its Alternative property; its action
on the Liver is soothing and certain, pro-
noting the Biliary secretions; it is safe
and reliable Emmenagogue, acting specif-
cally upon the uterine system; it affords
the greatestattainable relief in Dyspepsia,
and cures whenever used as directed;
and in conjunction with hygienic means
is the best preventive Of Constipation
that can be suggested
From the above it would then appear
that the simplest method to cure sickness
is that one which combines iudcious pur-
cation with physical sustenance, and the
observance Of hygienic measures; the
head should be kept cool the feet warm,
and the bowels open; and when treating
diseases on the principles exhibited in the
manual referred to below (Which every
one should rCad) the strength should be

drink on the day on which they are
hatcled. Both are injurious, as they
interfere with the natural digestion
Of the yolk, which is absorbed into
the bowels at the period of Matching,
and constitutes the first food. If
grits, oatmeal and the like are spread
before the hen on the twenty first
day, she is induced to leave the nest
the last Matched chickens are unable
to follow, and being weakly frequent
ly perish. If undisturbcd, the hen
seldom leaves the nest on the twenty
first day, while on the twenty second
day the chickens will be found strong
enough to follow her. The plan of
examining pepper corns or grains OF
barley down the threats Of newly
Matched chickens is exceedingly in u-
rious. Tie best food for them is
sweet coarse oatmeal, mixed into q
crumbly paste with milk, and a GER
tain proportion of custard made by
beating together an egg with two ia
blespoonfuls of milk, and "setting' it
by gentle heat. Custard so made is
eaten with avidity, and the chickens
make rapid progress upon it. Such
preparation is far superior to the
hardboiled egg so often employed and
which is not relished by the chickens.
The young birds are also very fond
of a little cold oatmeal porridge
milk is frequently used to mix the
barley or oatmeal, but it should be
remembered that it soon becomes soul
in summer, and is decidedly injurious
if employed in that state. No more
food therefore should be mixed with
milk than can be eaten in few
hours. Sopped bread is one by no
means desirable, since it does not az.
ford the necessary resistance to the
natural grinding Of the 2izard, and
consequently the chickens soon be-
come weakly and affected with diar-
rhna from its use. In order to salts
fly the hunger of the hen, which is
usually very grea: when she leaves
the nest it is quite desirable to give
her as much grain as size can consume.
Then, having satisfied her own sppo.
tite, aud quenched her thirst, which
at this time is considerable, she will
brood over her untledged young and
keep at rest, whilst they are digesting
the yolk that has been absorbed just
before Matching. After the first few
days some whole grain, such as small
tail wheat, or some barley, may be
given to the young brood, and it will
be found to be greatly relished. and
doubtless affords q wholesome exer-
else for the extraordinary grinding
power Of the giz2ard. Chickens
should either have a constant supply
Of food, or be fed at very short inter-
walls. The first food should be given
at daybreak. With regard to animal
food there is none equal to the natu,
raj supply Of worms and insects oh.
tanned by the hen when she is at
large small worms or shovelful Of
mould containing an ants nest, may
be given, if chickens are in a confined
situation, and will be found far super
Tor to boiled egg, chopped meat, or
any mere artificial substitute. Coop
ing, which is frequently employed to
prevent the wandering Of hens with
chickens, is not desirable and though
in many cases it is necessary evil,
yet not the less an evil" -Amsrical

HENS IN TIE ORCHARD speaking
of keeping hens in an orchard, the
the "Poultry World' says;
"Last fall we visited an orchard in
when fowls were kept, the owner of
which told us that before the fowls
We're confined in it the trees made lit
tie or no growth and a corresponding
amount of fruit was obtained. But
what a change was evident now. The
grass was kept down, the weeds were
killed and the fruit presented an ap-
pearance of thrift which the most en-
thusiastic horticulturalist could not
but admire and envy. The growth of
the trees was most vigorous, and the
foliage remarkably luxuriant. The
fruit was abundant, Of large size and
free from worms and other Imperfect
tions. This excellence was accounted
for by the proprietor, who remarked
that the hens ate all the worms and
curculio in their reach, even the can
ker worm. He found less trouble
with their roosting in the trees than
be expected and that picket fence
six feet high kept them within bounds.
His orchard was divided into three
sections, and the fowls We're changed
from one to another, as the condition
of the fowls or the orchard seemed 10
require"

Editing a Newspaper.

The Louisville Courier Journal
makes the following sensible re-
marks:
"Some people estimate the ability
of a newspaper and talant of its ed
itor by the quantity of original
matter. 1t is comparatively an easy
task for a frothy writer to pour out
daily column of words-words
upon any and all subjects. His
ideas may flow in one weak, washy,
everlasting Hood, and the command
of his language may enable him to
string them together like lunches
of onions, and yet his paper may
he a meagre and poor concern.
Indeed the mere writing part of
editing a paper is but n small por
ton Of the work. The care, the
time employed in selecting, is far
more important, and the tact of
good editor is better shown by his
selections than anything else; and
that, we know, is half the battle.
But. as We have said, an editor
ought to be estimated and his labor
understood and appreciated by the
general conduct of his paper-its
tone, its uniform, consistent course,
it's aims, manliness, its dignity and
it's propriety. To preserve these as
they should be preserved is enough
to occupy fully the time and atten-
ton of any man. If to this be adj
tied the general supervision of the
news paper establishment, which
most editors have to encounter, the
wonder is how they find time to

The Printer and His Types.

Benjamin r. Taylor, the Printer Poet.l
Perhaps there is no department
of enterprise whose details are less
understood, by intelligent people,
than the "art preserNative,' the
achievement of the types.
Every day, their life long, peo-
pie are accustomed TO read the
newspaper and find fault with its
statements; It's arrangements; it's
looks; 10 plume themselves upon the
discovery Of some roSuish acrobatic
type that gets into q frolic and
stands upon its head; or Of some
waste letter or two in it; but OF the
process by which the newspaper ia
made, or the myriads of mills and
the thousands of pieces necessary
to its composition, they know little
and generally think less.
They imagine they discourse of q
wonder indeed, when they speak of
the white carpet, woven forthoaght
to walk on the rags that fluttercd
Oh the back of the beGgar yesterday.
But there is something more Won
dcrful still. When we look at the
hundred and fitty.two little boxes,
somewhat shaded with the touch of
inky fingers, that compose the prin.
ter's "case,' noiscless, except tho
click of the types; as ono by one
they take their place in the growing
line-we think we have found tho
marvel of art.
We think how many fancics in
fragments there arc in boxes; how
many atoms of poetry and elOquencc
the printer can make here and there,
if he had only little chart to work
by, how many facts in q small
"handful;7 how much truth in
chaos.
Now he picks up the scattered
elements, until he holds in his hand

y poor jest ticks its way slowly
into the printers hand, like the
clock just running down, and it's

can tell the difference by hearing
by the car, but perhaps not.

~ conversed, says writer, "with
q racer to-day. He told me how he
won a race in New Haven. For
four weeks he mixed soft rubber
with the horses oats, and every day
he hitched that horse to a post and
opened a blue cotton umbrella in
his face, making him pull back,
stretching his neck awfully. Then
he'd shut his umbrella, the horse
would stop pulling, and his neck
would resume its original length,
He got the horses neck very elastic,
and on the day of the race, as his
horse and the other horses were on

at the finish, the driver struck this

his neck shot out almost a rod,
