GENERAL DEBILITY.-In this complaint the
good effects of the VEGETINE are realized
Immediately after commencing to take it; as
debility denotes deficiency of the blood, and
VEGETINE acts directly upon the blood. There
is no remedy that will restore the health from
debility like the VEGETINE. 1t is nourishing
and Strengthening, purifes the blood, regu-
lates the bowels, quiets the nervous system,
acts directly upon the secretions, and arouses
the whole system to action. 1t has never
failed in this COMPLAINT

OXEN FOR FARM WORK.-A gentle
man who for many years cultivated a
farm in the vicinity of this city recently
gave the results of his experience in
using oxen for blowing, hauling manure,
and other farm work He stated that
he always kept one team of horses and
one of medium sized Devon oxen. He
repeatedly experimental with the two
teams to ascertain which could pillow the
most land and haul the most manure in
given time, and became convinced
that the OK team was the most valuable
for both purposes. In blowing, the
horses moved little quicker in the
furrow but the oxen made the round of
land first because they lost the least
time in turning. In severely hot weather
the oxen did more work and were less
fatigued at night than the horses.
While at work he fed both teams alike,
so that the cost of their food at these
times was very nearly equal. At other
times the expense of keeping the horses
was double that of the oxen. The cost
of a yoke and chain for the oxen was
nominal, but the expense for harness
for the horses was large. An ox-cart
for hauling manure and potatoes cost
much less than double wagon for the
horses. The oxen required less care
than the horses when in the stable, and
it took less time to attach them to the |
pillow Or cart. He is in favor of reviving |
the fashion of working oxen on farms.
For poor farmers, especially those who
are on new places, he considers oxen
every way preferable to horses. They
cost less when young, and sell for more
when they become somewhat advanced
in age. They are less liable to diseases
and accidents, and are at all times
attended by less expense. To have
oxen do the same amount of work as
horses it is necessary that they be of
lively disposition, and he considers
Devons as superior to animals of other
breeds. It is also necessary that they
be allowed grain while at work-Chica-
go Times.

business connected WIN FARMING pays
better than poultry, and it is important
to know just what and how to feed, in
order to stimulate reproduction. Both
grain and soft feed should be given, the
latter at least once day, where eggs
are sought. Wheat is probably the best
grain, especially where fowls are begin
ming to lay. Corn tends to fatten, and
should be fed only occasionally to lay
ing fowls Buckwheat is an aid to egg
production, and is very warming. Oats
make an excellent food, but not particu-
larly valuable for eggs. Barley is
thought by many farmers to be one of
the best varieties of winter food. If the
grain is ground, good plan is to grind
together equal parts of corn, wheat,
buckwheat, and oats. 1t makes an ex-
cellent meal for warm mush to be fed
in the morning, but should not be fed at
night, unless the poultry house is very
warm, and even then it is better to feed
whole grains at night. A meat-diet is
very essential to the well being of all
fowls during cold weather, when worms
and insects are not to be found. This is
well known, though very few give the
matter the attention it deserves. Those
who live within REASONABLE distance of
a slaughter-house or butcher-shop can
secure plenty of scraps of waste meat
and bloody pieces, which are unstable,
at trifling cost. Cut them in small
pieces, put into a large kettle, with
plenty of water and boil them until they
are very tender, then stir in meal until
it becomes thick mush and then cook
until done. Turn it out into pans and
let itycool, and you have an excellent
food for your fowls, which, if put in a
cool place, will keep a long time. Green
food should also be given occasionally,
as fowls need some coarse and refuse
matter to keep them healthy. In the
summer they can find this for them
selves, but in the winter, when the
ground is covered with snow, we must
supply this deficiency by giving them
cabbage, turnips and onions cut fine or
coarse, as seems to suit them best.
Onions are especially valuable for keep
ing off vermin. Sunflower seeds are
very valuable food for fowls. They are
the best reproducing food known, and
are good for the plumage, also very
warming, since they contain a large
quantity of strong vegetable oil. If fed
too often the fowls will shed their feath-
ers. Once or twice a week is sufficient.
