LOVE Observation-Disclosures
still holds it own with some OF
the colored people. A few
evenings since four or five col
ored boys went to drug store
and applied for Glove powders. p"
A harmless commodity was
furnished and the negroes de-
parted happy and fully satisfied
that all they had to do was to
administer a little of the powder
to the girl they wanted and her
love was assured. Applications
for love powders are byno means
rare, and strange as it may seem,
the demand for them is not en-
tirefy conhnedf to colored peo-
pie; every once and awhile a
white man comes in for the same
prescription.

YOU desire to get large yield Of rich
milk, give your cow every dav water
slightly warm, and slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred at the
rate of one quart TO two gallons of
water Yo" will find, il you have not
tried this daily practice that your COW
will give twenty five per cent. more
milk under the effects of it, and she
will become so attached to the diet
as TO refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will
drink almost any time and ask for
more. The amount of this drink nee
essary is an ordinary water pail full at
n time, morning, noon, and night.

flanks, lies down, rolls, remains for a
time on the back. and breathes heavily
throughout. But there is ready and
safe means of relief and cure in every
homestead in the land-a means aud
method recently brought forward at a
meeting of the London Farmers Club
bv MIR Frederick Street, gentleman
of great skill and experience in the
training and management of horses.
When the horse shows the symptoms
of an attack of collie. apply at once
says Mr. Street, a horse cloth or wool

the belly and up the s;dss, and cover
