Are often soothed by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, because that searching corrective
com qletely removes the causes of brain and
nerve excitement, which are to be found in
arrangement of the stomach, and of its asso-
ciate organs, the liver and bowels. 1t is a
truth which cannot be too earnestly insisted
upon, that the effect of mere sedatives and
narcotics, like bromide of potassium, valerian,
chIoral hydrate and opium, is less appreciate
the longer they are used: and that they can
never permanently relieve nervous excltabil-

Covered Barn-Yard

A Maryland farmer has & sensible ar
ticle On covered barn-yards, which con-
cludes in these words:
There is a three-fold advantage in these
covered yards. /. 1t is impossible to
keep Il yard in decent order in wet
weather, especial in early spring, Or fit to
be occuD% by dairy cattle at least, when
it is exposed to all the storms and a
roof is chea ser in the end than litter.
2. The cattle themselves will appreciate
the benefit Of the shelter, and pay for it
in contented looks, as well as in the
more subtaDtial results of the pail. In
this sort of a yard, with water always at
hand; they are not disposed to he uneasy.
It is the greatest cruelty and waste to
keep cattle up in warm stalls and then
turn them out in all sorts OF weather to
wade through mud or snow, or walk on
treaCherous ice for one hundred yards er
more to fill themselves over-tull of water
once a day. 9. Manure kept under cover
from cold rains will decomposem much fast r
than that exposed, and is in much better
condition for handling, and is worth more
when it is applied. Straw will remain a
whole year in a wet yard, and yet seem
as strong as when put in, Where DON
is of value, the consolidation of tn,
manure pile by the constant pressure Of
the hoof is also an item. A yard under
cover, where cattle are fed, csn be ira
veTsed by man at any time without dan
ger Of ofense,

not scourged by the pillow and washing
rains. Kentucky bluegrass does well in
Green county, Georgia, and with proper
treatment, it will grow and form a turf
down to the ocean. Georgia should raise
horses and mules, cattle snd sheep for
European markets on the best cultivated
grasses.
Savannah exported beef, tallow and
hides to the mother country before the
revolution, and the soil and climate of
Georgia greatly favor this industry.
What prevents its adoption? Nothing
but a lack of moral courage to listen to
the teachings of experience and truth,
aud abandon the bad habit of making
millions of acres of turned out old fields
by unwise planting to the ex clusion of
husbaudry. Georgia farmers should be
wise enough and brave enough to lift
themselves out of the ruts OF exclusive
planting into a system of diversified ag-
riculture, including q wider range Of
stock h~usbandry equal to the area of
their noble state. Why talk OF the
sunny SOUTH" and blindly aid s~ullenly
refuse to use the blest sunshine that falls
on every acre of southern soil? The
same solar heat that changes air and
water into cotton with much labor, will
change them into wool and meat with
little labor.
The pillow at great expense for mules
and manual labor, everywhere consumes
fertility; yet, farmers refuse to let grow
and to SOW its seed, while complaining
of their land being too poor to raise
cotton, corn and wheat at a profit. Why
make such depleted soil still poorer by
Improbable tillage? Does good farming
demand it?On the contrary, good farm.
ing dictates a change of system, a geuine
reform of practice, giving the south ten
times more husbandry that the crops

should till less ground and gather far
larger harvests on the land cultivated.

What think you would be the result if the
earth should stop spinning around the sun?
Were you ever near q large and intricate
machine when one of its wheels became
cloggcd or broken-near enough TO hear the
grating, Earring clash, the sudden, deafening
crash Astronomers assure lis that precisely
similar effects, only on an inconceivably
grander scale, would be produced if our earth
one of the wheels in the Universe-machine
should suddenly cease its revolutions. In
other words, there would be a general clash
and crash of satellites, planets, and systems.
What we term financial crises are due to
similar causes. One of the wheels IN the
inanCe-maChine becomes clOGged, perhaps
shattered. The terrible WaliStreet "Crash 4"
which follows il communicated to every part
OF the financial mechanism of the country
But aualogics do not stop here. There is that
other mechanism, the most intricate of all
sometimes called IN organism because it
generates its own forCes-the human machine.
When one Of its members fails TO perform it's
office, the whole system is thrown into dis.
order. Members before considered unassail-
able, break down unde the unnatural
pressure. The shock comes, and utter pros
trati0u is the result Reparation can only be
effected by the restoration of the impaired
parts and the re.adiustment Of its levers
the physical forces. There is one part Of the
machine more liable to disorder than any
other, the liver,-the great balance-wheel of
the machine.
The liver being the great depurating or
blood>cIeausing organ of the system, set it at
work aud the foul ~corruptions which gender
in the blood, and rot out, asst were, the ma
chiuery of life, are gradually expelled from
the system. For this purpose DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, used daily, and
DR. Prerce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, taken
in very small doses, are pre.eminently the
articles needed. They cure every kind of
humor, from the worst S~orofula to the com,
mon pimple, bIotch, or eruption. Great eating
ulcers kindly heal under their mighty cura-
tive influence. Virulent blood poisons thaC
Turk in the system are by them robbed of
their ~terrors, and by their ~persevering and
somewhat protracted use the most tainted
systems may be completely renovated and
built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and
swellings dwindle away and disappear under
the influence Of these great resolvents.

Gambling at Monte Carlo.

Roulette at Monte Carlo goes on apace,
albeit the prince of gamblers is no more,
and every train from Nice and Mentone
brings hundreds of reckless souls to dame
fortunes board of green. Strange faces
are seen in the Casino. One Russian lady
is said to have o wonderful system whicz
prevents her from losing. She asks the
servants for those cards which are at the
disposal Of each player. Sac marks the
hour on ach card, and then picksouttbe
different runs OF red and black, while on
some tablets she has before her she makes
an elaborate calculation as to the numbers
which come up. An elderly Englishman
has had a great run of luck with a new
system. He regularly sows the board
with fve-franc pieces, putting a piece
of gold here and there as a hostage
to fortune. He refuses to stake his
money until the wheel has been set
in motion and the ball is roll,
ling, But the best contrived system
can not always stand on its W bottem.

who was unable to meet his engagements,
and in a moment of desperation he Dor

COLD FRAME.

& Geld frame is formed by placing the
ordinary hot bed frame upon a bed of
light, rich soil, in some place in the
garden where it will be protected from
cold winds.
Rake thoroughly in superphosphate,
bone dust, or finely pulverizcd hen ma
nure, and SOW in rows four to six inches
apart, Thin out the tomato plants when
quite small, but allow peppers to remain
rather thick at first, by reason of the
~depredations Of the cut worm. As the
season advances, raise the sashes an inch
Or two in the middle of the day, and
water freely in the evening with water
that il nearly of the temperature of the
earth in the frame. As the heat of the
season Increases, whitewssh the glass,
and keep them more and more open
until, at about the close of May, Just be-
fore plants are set in open ground, allow
the glass to remain entirely off both day
and night, unless there should be a cold
rain. This will harden them, SO that
they will not be apt to be iDjuYed By the
change.-[Rennie'a Seed Catalogue.

will bug a bed, clean it off and still leave
it elevated and with a uniform rounded

in our own practice for smoothing and
freshening the surface of beds. 1t is a

have the young plants in a straight mar
row line, on a smooth, gently-rounded
bed-the first working can then SO easily
be given it.

Cotton Planting.

The Southern Qultivator has the oL-
lowing judicious remarks on planting
cotton

tant 70 plant early, to secure maturing

rolling in ammoniated fertilizers, Or an.
plying small quantities Of these {say fhy

non-ammoniated dissolved bones or acid

AIsIks Clover.

A Vermont farmer gives his expert
nee OF Alsike clover, in which he says:
The introduction Of Alsike clover is of
much value to our farmers. Like other
clovers it runs out in two or three years
from sowing, though occasional roots are
found scattered through all fields where
it has sprung up from selEsown seeds.
My experience has not been very full,
for l have only sown it to compare it
with other clover. The results l have
reached are that while it is fully as sure
to give a good catch, it apparently makes
a much superior hay. 1t grows thicker
and finer, is less liable to lodge, is fed
with less waste than other kinds Of clover,
aud is eaten with avidity by all kinds OF
stock. Only a portion of the blossoms
Of each stalk are in bloom at a time, so Ii
can stand longer without injury after it
Is first fit to be cut. The chief objection
to the introduction Of Alsike clover is
the high price asked for the seed, though
this is partially offset BY the small
quantity required to The acre. The
coming season shall SOW II On all that
l seed down, mixing ii with other seed
at the rate Of one pound Of Alsike to the
acre with the usnal amouae Dc red
clover. III the season il favorable, this
will give for tho FIRST cop 4 mixed hay
as good as IS obtained The second and
third years when red clover only is sown,
and will give q larger erap and not
exhaust the land asrapldiy as when only
timothy or red top is sown.

Management Of Hotbsds and ~cold-hpmss.

Management Of Hotsbeds and COldfrtmss.
The structure and management of a
ho,. bed is much the same as that of a
co.d-lrame, With the exception that,
being started earlier, tho requisite tenn
peratule has to be kept up by artificial
means, f~ermenting being relied
upon for the purpose, and the loss Of
this heat has to be checked more care
fully.
Select the locality in the fall, choosing
a warm location on a southern slope,
protected by a fence or building on the
north and northwest.
The situation should be dry under
meath, sheltered from the north as much
as possible, and fully exposed to the sun;
it should be built up from two feet six
inches to four feet high, and wider by six
inches every way than the frame to be
placed upon it.
Set posts in the ground, nail two
boards to these parallel to each other,
one about a foot in height, and the other
toward the south about four inches
narrower this will give the ssshes rest
ing on them the right slope to shed the
rain and receive as much heat as possible
from the sun Have these boards at d
distance apart equal to the length of the
SASH, which may be any common window
sash for a small bed, or the length o. a
usual gardeners sash. Ifcommon window
sash is used, cut channels in the cross
bars to let the water run off. Dig the
ground we'll (it il best to cover il in the
fall with litter to keep the frost out),
and take out all stones or clods;
then slide the sash, and let it
remain closed three or four days that
the soil may be warmed by the suns
rays. The two end boards and the bot
tom boards should rise as high as the sash
to prevent the heat escaping, aud the
bottom board of g small frame should
have a strip nailed inside to rest the
sash on.
