A GENTLE HINT.-In our style Of
climate, with Its sudden changes Of
temperature,-rain, wind and sun
shine often interminglcd in single

frequently taken from US by neglect
ed colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle Of
Boschce's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, large doc
tors bill, and perhaps death, by the
use of three or four doses. For cur
ing Consumption, Hemorhagos,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or
any disease of the Throat or Lungs,
its success is simply wonderful, as

Mr.. Editor, you made my cores
pondence for last week, look rather
badly, by leaving out one page of the
manuscript. You have me stop in
the midst of the description of a
boiler explosion, and commence in
the middle of an account of Il. .scien-
tiiic experiment. This does not read
very well. suppose, however, it is
your correspondents fault, as part Of
the manuscript was written on both
sides of the paper and was conse-
Qurntly overlooked.

The Changers of the Upper Flats,

were highly commended. Mr.. Pick.
ems was installed as the chief officer
for the ensuing year. This organi,
cation is certainly doing n good work
in the county, among its members,
and even among farmers who do not
belong to it. We judge of tree by
its fruits, as evidences of its benefi.
cial action are easy to be seen, where.
ever the organization has an exist,
ence.
Among a great many improve.
monts, l will note the following: The
farmers are departing from the old
methods, Instead of the inevitable
crop of corn and wheat, grass, hay
and stock are beginning to b6produ-
ced. Fine horses, fat cattle and
greatly improved breeds of hogs are
the order of the day; This exactly
meets the condition of their lands,
which on all the old farms is ex-
haustod of their vitality to produce
corn and wheat, Why, have seen
farmers attempt to raise crop Of
corn and wheat from n field whore a
half dozen years of trial, had abso-
lutely failed to produce but little
more than the seed, 1t has taken
about 20 years Of failure in the wheat
crop, to convince them that. they
could not raise it proiitably, Fields
are arranged Systematically, fences
do not run in all directions. They
used to have them run around briar
patches, and clumps of trocsjbut now
the brior patch disappears and the
fence runs straight through. 1t not
only runs straight, but it stands up
straight. 1t is a lawful fence, and
you know what that is without me
telling ii, Briars arc disappearing
from the fields. ] have seen what
they use to call their pasture fields
full of briars, and the wool that
ought to have been on the sleeps
bOck, was ON tho briars. Moro on
