Every year thousands of cattle die
in the west from the effect of eating
corn smut. During last fall and win
ter, whole heards were destoyed by
this aus in Kansas and Nebraska.
They were turned into large fields and
received no attention for some days,
o. the end of which time they were
found dying or lead. The present. is
perhaps the most favorable time for
destroying the ears of corn that will
prove dangerous when cattle are
turned in the field the coming fall and
winter. The smut commences to
develop as soon a the germs are
formed and before they become hard.
The ears, even when covered with
husks, may be distinguished by Their
unnatural size. They should be search
ed for on every hill, when found they
should be broken of. Put in baskets
or bags, carried out of the fields, and
buried or burned. A little timely
attention to the matter may be the
means of saving several valuable ami
mails. By destroying the smutty ears
now the spread of the fungus may be
prevented.-Ex.

HOW BONNER STARTED.

The Merchants Ledger was a rick
ETY. affair, recently started, and was
on the road to failure when Bonner
became its proprietor. This was in
1853, and the pirce paid was 5000.
In this manner Bonner (who was in
his 29th year made his detut in jour-
nalism. He changed tho name Of the
paper to its present title, and imme-
diately operated on the combined
principles which have rendered his
name the synonym of success. This
was ito have something worth adver-
Using and then advertise it," He
was in obscurity and he knew obscu-
rity led to ruin. 1t was a struggle
for life, and advertising gave him VIC
tory. Fanny Fern was then at her
greatest popularity and in order to
have something worth ADVERTISING
Bonner solicited her contributions.
His offer was a handsome one--$25
for one column per week. 1t was,
however, respectfully declined. A
third proposition followed, and s75
was mentioned, but the lady was still
obdurate. She, however, was sup
prised that any journalist should have
such a degree Of nerve, and hence. she
mentioned to a friend that she liked
the pluck Of the young editor She
then favored Mr.. Bonner with a pro-
posal to write a tale Of eleven columns
for which he paid $1,000. This was
at once announced by an advertise
ment, whose expense astonished the
world. This rule has ~steadfastly
been continued. Boomers first im-
portant advertisement cost him So
500, but this was only the beginning.
Since then he has said 100000 in
one year for the same purpose. He
had q genius for advertiseing, and
was The first one to absorb an entire
page.

TRUCK FARMING

Mr.. John Watson, 4 Maryland
truck grower says there is no well
defined line between farming and
gardening as practiced in'this coun
tryl but here and there striking
popularity pertaining to one OF. the
other may be noted. The blowing
in Of green crops so beneficial on the
farm, counts next to nothing as
manure in the Vegetable garden when
he has turned under twenty-five tons
Of w~ell-rootted b~arn-yard manure to
the acre of his best land he feels
reasonably SURF of a profitable crop,
any Of the leading kinds of vegetables
with half that quantity a .propitious
season may in part make up but'the
chances are all against the profit Of
the crop. Now, if a farmer should
live long enough to pillow down three
tons of clover annually for seventy
years in succession he would not in
in all that time apply as muchiplan
food as thu. truck grower now does
a single at a single p'owing. He
thinks it doubtful is the total amount
of green crops mentioned above, two
hundred and twenty-five tons, of
well decayed!plant food, to say moth
ing of the inferior quality Of the
manure SO obtained. All of which
simply means that the truck grower
must not depend upon light man.
uring his success can be hoped for
only in heavy applications.

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE


Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
i'm "a Hours after the first ap-
pIication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. / used medicines without number,
including a large quantity of morphine, all OF
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried it's realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dfspelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. / used bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time i'm two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split a cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, will say, when / commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when 1 moved upon
clutches, or tried 10 stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. / now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty five
pounds in flesh. But l must tell you it seems
almost like a dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
gems of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.
