A Valuable Medicine.

Buchu in various forms has for many
years been one of the chief articles in the
Materia Medica for the treatment of GER
tain diseases, among which are chiefly
those affecting the urinary, digestive and
circulatory organs. The difficulty that
was long experienced in obtaining pre-
paration of this valuable drug that could
always be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led 10 the
introduction Of He,mbolds Extract az
Bpchu, which for the last Quarter of n
century has been extensively used both
by physicians and in house and family
practice, and With very gratifying success
This medicine, like every other valuable
thing, has been extensively initiated, and
those who have use for IL will % well to
see that they obtain the genuine Helm
bold Buehu," the only pure and reliable
preparation.

by Froude on "Romanism and the
Irish race, in which he takes the
ground that the natural increase Of
Catholics in this country is danger
Gus fact, and the increase by immigra-
tion will soon overturn the republic.
He thinks it impossible to pass laws
to prevent this disastrous result, and
recommends that they be killed. That
is about the only way we see to get
rid of them, but like the rats who de-
termined to protect themselves by
putting a bell on the cat, there was no
provision made as to which of them
should put it on. In all these cases it
is necessary to bell the cat.

lT is positively affirmed from Wash
ington that a bill has been drawn and
will be introduced at the earliest
opportunity after congress assemblies
restoring General Grant to a position
at the head of the army. 1t is fur
ther asserted that this measure has
already been approved by Congress
men of both parties. The Philadel-
phia Bulletin, Radical paper, says:
There is, however, much doubt if
such scheme would be received with
favor by the general public. 1t would
interfere in an unfair fashion with of
fcers who now hold positions in the
army, and it would create costly and
perfectly useless office for the benefit
Of man who can serve his country
more effectively insome other position,
and if he shall not obtain such an
honor, there will be in private life
plenty Of openings for him in which
he can obtain handsome remuneration
for his services without assistance
from the government. The fact is,
the Radicals desire to hold Grant in
readiness for political uses, if needed.

ION or the soil renders such shifting ne
cessity. ANY acre of land that will raise
wheat now will raise wheat throughout
eternity, if its capabilities are not taxed too
much. Look at Egypt. Even in Joseph's
time it was wheat-growing country. 1t is
such to-day. 80 also would be almost ey-
cry state in this union if the silly twaddle
about shifting" was disregarded, and the
land treated to rest or to fertilizers. The
farmers in Southern Minnesota, are becom-
ing convinced that they can no longer raise
large crop of spring wheat and are going
to try their luck on winter wheat. To
speak in slangy but expressive way, they
will most certainly ''get left" What their
land needs is rest, let the farmers of that
section put in corn, oats, or almost any
thing, and after year or so they will find
that the trouble is not in any climatic or
mysterious change, but in the fact that by
successive cropssof wheat they have simply
exhausted the soil. The idea as commonly
entertained that there is wheat belt is a
first-class fraud. Almost every acre Of land
from Mexico to Manitoba will raise good
crops of wheat if its energies are not taxed
too much. Scientific farming will dispel
any such vagaries as that of the wheat belt,
and in proof OF this, we have only to cite
the fact that this year the old states have
much larger yield of wheat per acre than
the new states, whose soils have been pre-
maturely worn out by succession of wheat
crops.-America7a Miller.

WHEN the rush of getting the grain
threshed and safely started is over, the
farmerwho has no barn will find an excel
lent season for getting out timber for the
same. Every farm should be supplied
with commodious barn, so that his work
stock and mick cows may have comforta-
BILE winter quarters, and the barn should be
large enough to furnish room for winters
supply OF hay, that the work of feeding may
be performed without exposure. Not ev-
cry farmer has the means to put up such a
building, but the work may be done by
himself at this season of the year, at COM
paratively little cost. The timber may be
got out before cold weather sets in and the
building carried on at odd times through
the winter. BY managing to haye every
thing in readiness SO us to occupy the odd
days in building, barn may be put up in
course of the year, and the time scarcely be
missed.

THE WHEAT BELT.

It strikes our comprehension that good
deal OF nonsense is uttered and made pub
lie about what is known as the "wheat
belt" Some of our contemporaries are dis
posed to regard it as living, thinking enti
ty with migratory habits, which now Sc
lects the Genesee as its favored abode, and
now the Ohio Valley, and later, the bound
less prairies of the Northwest. In spite of
all tabular statistics we are compelled to ac-
knowledge our skepticism in one or doz-
en- wheat belts. Canddly, we cannot be-
lieve that the changes of soil or climate
have been sufficient to cause the productive
area of wheat to leave one section of our
land and emigrate to another. We do not
believe that wheat is migratory in its hab-
its, and settles in one place only to desert
that place for some more favored locality.
We think that mankind runs the wheat
crop, not the wheat crop mankind.
We know that we shall tread upon nu-
merous toes in making such an assertion.
Fer instance, thirty years ago crop Of
from thirty-five to fifty bushels of wheat to
the acre was no unknown thing in northern
Illinois. Why is 1t that now crop OF from
fifteen to twenty-five bushels an acre is re-
garded as good one, aud that on account
of the uncertainty of any yield at all, farm
ers have almost abandoned wheat culture?
What can it be, if there is not such a thing
as shifting OF the wheat belt p; Simply
this, there is shifting of the wheat belt SO
far as the sowing of pew soils is concerned.
Farmers in the United States have not yet
learaed, apparently, that soil can be ex-
hausted. in wheat country like the North
west, wheat is sown until tired Nature by a
succession of failures in the wheat crop,
tells the farmer that he can raise no more
wheat. Then straightway he says that the
.'wheat belt has shifted" and gets down to
raising corn, oats and hogs.
Now this is all the supremest nonsense.
There is no such thing as the shifting ct
the wheat belt," only so far as the exhaust

rs POULTRY BREEDING PROFITABLE !?

This question is often asked, and scores
of times is wrongly answered. If properly
conducted, it is profitable; if left half-cared
for, ill-provided with proper accommoda-
tions, placed in charge Of inexperienced
persons, then emphatically fowls are not
profitable. 1t is tallacy to think. that all
that is necessary is to procure dozen fowls,
consign them to some unused shed or cell
lar, throw them a handful OF corn in the
morning, and go out in the afternoon and
gather in a basketful of eggs. No branch
of farm industry requires more careful at
tention than the poultry. They are per-
feet machines, and if properly managed,
may be kept in good running order and
made very profitable. Good warm quar-
ters should be provided for them, suitably
ventilated at the top-not from the bottom
or sides, thus causing a draught. Do not
arrange the perches like the steps to a lad
der, SO that all will crowd to get upon the
topmost perch, but place them about two
feet from the floor for the large breeds, and
three to four feet for small breeds, and all
in an even horizontal position.
Fewls should be provided with conven-
lent dust bath, kept inside the house and
away from the droppings and filth. 1t may
be made from large soap-box, filled with
fine roaddust, in which a small supply ol
