WORLDS DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION:
Gentlemeu-For years have been great
sufferer. Nv trouble first started with ter
rible ague chIls and constipations. This left
me in 1878 with a racking cough and frequ mt
bleedings from the lungs. Since this time
have been continually doctoring, consulting
physicia ans without number. From the m
rece we'd no b nefit or encoura cement. The
most noted physicians of our city who last
visited me expressed their opinions in the
brief but hopeless words, ''Take good care
of yourself the few days you have to live,
We cannot help you" 1 grew steadi v worse
under their treatment. One day. through
reading your Memorandum Book, l learned
of the Golden Medical Discovery. With but
little hope of relief, 1 purchased bottle and
did me more good than ali the drugs l had
taken the year around. I am now steadily
using it with benefit and recommend it to all
to be Just what it is advertised.

Seeds and Exchanging Seeds.

THERE is a universal belief among
men in the business of gardening and
farming that changing seeds from one
locality to another is good for the pro-
duct desired. We have seen the state
ment contradicted. We have seen al
most every fundamental truth, taught
US when a boy, contradicted. 1t proves
nothing to contradict. Our father be-
lieved this axiom. His neighbors be-
lieved it. We have heard gray-bearded
farmers say the same thing a thousand
miles west of where our boyhood was
passed. We believe to-day that there is
benefit derived by changing seeds. The
practice is almost universal. This is an
evidence of its advantages.
"Run OUT" is a term not SO easily
explained scientifically as practically.
Breeds "run OUT Varieties deterior-
ate. New seed is obtained of the same
or an improved variety, produced on a
distant soil it may be, and the crop is
improved. Why? 1t is not easy to say
why. It is easier to maintain average
crops by changing seeds than by observ-
ing the best methods in their production
to maintain all their physical excellen-
cies, ETC., etc.
The exchange of varieties of fruit,
flower, garden and field seeds, is easily
made. There might be an exchange es-
tablished with little effort which would
benefit thousands. Not only could they
exchange for the same varieties to prove
if changing is beneficial, but they could
exchange for new varieties.-COr. Prairse

Raising Field Beans.

AT recent meeting of the Ontario
Agricultural Commission, held at Chat
ham, Mr.. P. j. McKindley gave his ex-
perience in bean culture: He said that
this was peculiarly the growing
district of Canada, and the area of bean
culture was limited even within the dis
trict. Beans succeeded best on sandy
loan with clay subsoil, or on gravely
loan with porous subsoil, and the land
must be well drained; the best mode of
preparing the land was to plow in the
fall, harrow in the spring, and perhaps
roll down and cultivate with a gang
pillow; the oftener it was narrowed and
cultivated the less trouble would there
be with weeds; the best time to plant
was from the 9TH to the 10th of June,
thus allowing the weeds to start their
growth, so that they were killed before
the crop was sown; beans were some
times grown successive years on the same
land, but the practice "A bad one;
thirty bushels per acre was good aver
age yield, and the price was about 81 25
per bushel; blowing sod in the fall or
spring for beans was the next best thing
to summer following for fall wheat, and
they got the two crops for about the Ia
Dor of one; the total cost of planting
beans per acre would be about S14;
the principal market for them was the
United States, though our own lumber
men used a good many; the medium
sized bean was more profitable than
either the small variety or the marrow
fat; the bean crop was not considered
any more exhaustive than barley or
wheat: they had no machines for cut
ting two rows of beans at time, and
they were left in small lunches; the
threshing was often done with q fail,
but the concave of the common thresh-
ing machine could be adjusted to thresh
them; the straw made excellent food for
sheep; the bean did not suffer from in
sects or disease to any extent, but some
times the blossom would blight if the
weather was very hot; late beans pro-
duced the heaviest crops, but there was
a good deal Of risk in harvesting them.
and they had often to be hand-picked

Fall Flowing.

The better the preparation Of the
ground the better the crop. The high
average yield of the English farms is no
doubt largely due to the thorough pre-
paration of the ground before seeding.
Our climate is superior to that Of Eng
land for wheat growing; yet yield OF
sixty-four bushels per acre is not uncom-
mon among good farmers there, while
here forty bushels per acre is an unusu-
al yield. Two plowings, several har-
rowings, and, in many cases, rolling OF
crushing; and the excellent preparation
of the soil by a previous root crop must
have much better effect upon the soil
than one blowing, very poorly done be-
cause of the hardness and dryness of
our soil in midsummer, and very imper-
feet narrowing. It might be well for US
to lay out more labor on our wheat
crop, and SO prepare the ground better,
and raise our average from twelve to at
least twenty bushels per acre. The diff
ference in the amount Of wheat at har-
vest would pay for good deal of extra
work in blowing, etc., and yet leave a
profit; besides, the soil would not forget
the generous treatment in one year nor
two.

What Cinnamon Live On.

THE diet of the Chinaman differs from
our own, but it is mistake to suppose
that they eat the flesh of unclean ami
mails. Rice and tea are present at every
meal. Pork and chickens they esteem
above all other meats. Fowls are pur-
chased alive. They also eat fish. They
breakfast at ten and dine at four. They
fare more sumptuosly on Sundays and
Mondays, as they then have more leisure
for cooking. Rice is boiled and eaten
from bowl, which is held to the lips
while the rice is pushed into the mouth
with chopsticks. Other food is cut into
junks and placed in central dish.
The company take the food from the
dish with their chopsicks, one hand
being held under the morsel in its
passage from the dish to the mouth.
They eat soup with spoon of porcelain.
No knives, forks or plates are used in
eating. Bread, butter, milk or potatoes
are not eaten, except by those who have
been servants in American families.
Tea is the sole beverage. 1t is drunk
warm, without milk or sugar. When q
Chinaman was asked if he never drank
anything besides tea, he did not reply,
sshardly ever" but answered with an
expressive shrug, "No, Chinee stomach
no can-make sick" 1t it only the
American stomach that can entertain
pie and ice water. The Chinese
are not yet sufficiently civilized to use
malt or spirituous liquors, and it is to
be hoped they never will be.
A store in connection with one of the
laundries supplies tea, clothing, shoes,
dried food and sweetmeats,. imported
from San Francisco or Canton.
Should you invite Chinaman to dine
with you he will use knife and fork
gracefully, eat whatever is set before
him. and, out of Difference to his host,
drink his tea with milk and sugar. He
will not touch the food with his fingers.
He will not stare at the strange things
he may see, but will take an intelligent
interest in whatever you may be pleased
to show him. With native courtesy he
will demean himself like gentleman.
Should you accept an invitation to
dine with him you will find it hard to
use chopsticks, ana still harder to eat
what is set before you. You will proba-
bly be confronted with dish containing
q moist mass of fish, flesh, fowl, and
fruit, all cooked together and half SUBJ
merged in suspicious-looking liquid.
Your first impression on tasting the
mess will be that of appalling freshness.
They use no salt in cooking. The Sec
ond and succeeding Impressions are
indescribable. Suffice to say, you will
not soon seek another invitation to dine
