Why IL It?

The truths of science and progressive
thought have always been compelled to bat
ter down the bulwarks of prejudice and dis
belief, or remain forever unknown. Why
is it that people are so reluctant to receive
facts that relate directly to the phenomena
of their own existence? Astronomers upon
discovering a star, assign it place at once.
and it is forever fixed The rule by which
mathematical problem is once solved, be-
comes forever an axiom but no matter how
clearly the principles which govern health
and sickness be demonstrated, some refuse
to believe. DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines,
which are now so generally used, and de-
servedly popular, were, in their early DAYS,
very reluctantly received by the people. To-
day, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has outrivaled the old-time sarsaparillas,
his Pellets are in general use in place of the
coarse, huge, drastic pills formerly so much
employed, while the sales of his DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy and his Favorite Prescrip.
ton are enormous. Where the skin is sal.
low and covered with blotches and pimples,
or where there are scrofulous swellings and
affections, a,,few bottles of his Golden Medi-
cal Discovery will effect an entire cure. If
you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have
sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown
spots on face or body, frequent headache or
dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat
or chills alternated with hot Pushes, low
spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular
appetite, and tongue coated, you are suffer
ing from Torpid Liver Biliousness." In
many cases of "LiUer Complaint" only part
OF these symptoms are experienced. AS a
remedy for all such cases, DR.. Perce's
Golden Medical Discovery has no equal, as
it effects perfect cures, leaving the liver
strengthened and healthy. Debilitated fe-
males who have undergone all the tortures
of caustie and the knife, and yet suffer with
those peculiar draaoing-do,on sensations and
weaknesses, can have guaranteed to them
prompt and positive relief by using DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription; while con-
stipation and torpid liver, or biliousness,"
are promptly relieved by the Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets. Sold by all druggists.

TOPICS FOR FARMERS.
Roots of Trees Attacked by Funei


Most cultivators," SAYS an English
agricultural journal, "have. doubtless,
occasionally had to deal with or pre-
scribe for trees (both fruit-bearing and
ornamental) the roots of which are so
infested with the spores or long, thread
like filaments of come species of fungi as
to endanger their lives. They are in
sidious pests that slowly but surely
poison their victims. Being of SO dan
gerous a character, every precaution
should, therefore, be taken when plant
ing rare or valuable trees that fungus
germs are not introduced by using any
half-decayed vegetable substance, such
as leaf-mold or the sweepings from old
| fagot heaps. Planting young tree in
the site just previously occupied by an
old one without thoroughly trenching
and intermixing the soil, at the same
time picking out every bit of SCOT, is a
dangerous proceeding. The best plan
to adopt, when it is necessary to plant
a young tree where an old one pre-
viously stood, is to open out good hole,
say six feet square and two feet deep,
and cart the soil away bodily, and bring
back fresh material from position
where no trees are growing. Many
young and valuable tree has been lost
from want of this care, and if many
tree that has an unhealthy tinge were
examined, fungi would be found on its
roots. Trees infested with fungus will
in nearly all cases be found dry at the
root; it cannot exist in damp soil. /
have known trees planted on heap of
stones, with view of securing we'll a
drained site, so subject to it that it was
necessary to lift and replant. The best
and surest remedy is water strongly i'm
pregnated with SCOT; the latter acts as
check upon the growth of fungi, and is
beneficial and strengthening to the tree.
Trees of only moderate size could be
taken out and have their roots carefully
washed in pond or large tub, and then
be carefully replanted in fresh soil.
Those too large to be lifted should have
a trench opened at a suitable distance
from the trunk, so as not unnecessarily
to mutilate the roots, and the trench to
be kept full of water until every particle
of soil is thoroughly moistened; in fact,
it is impossible to overdo it, as it must
be drowned out, and the soaking with
water ought to be repeated two or three
times If the soil be poor or exhausted,
some of it should be removed and re-
placed with fresh material at any rate,
the trench should be filled with fresh
earth, and some fresh loan should be
used as a mulching or top-dressing. Just
before growth begins will be suitable
time for ascertaining the condition of
evergreen trees. Deciduous trees should
be seen to at once if there is any sus-
picion of fungi at their roots.
