SunhOwer Seed.

We notice that some of our neighbors are
raising quite large patches of suniowers,
and they say the seed is profitable feeding,
not only for poultry. but for all kinds of
stock. SunAowers require rich land, but
when the product is fed out on the farm,
aud the manure rightly economised, this is
no objection to their culture. In Europe,
'unfower seed is grown for the oil, which is
.qual in value to olive oil. The cake that is
left after the oil is pressed out is fed to
cattle with good results. Professor Berg
strand of Sweden has recently investigated
the feeding value of oil-cake from the seeds
Of the sunAower. He says it contains thir.
teen to sixteen per cent of fat, and thirty
five TO thirty-six per cent of heterogeneous
matter (Which is very rich for an oil-cake),
has an agreeable taste, is reished by cattle,
and when fed to mich cows it has improved
the quality and increased the quantity OF
milk. II is valuable also for fattening
animals. 1t should be recollected that the
plant of the sunfower is remarkably rich in
potash, and would rob the soil of this most
valuable constituent more rapidly than al
most any other crop. Therefore the stalks
should be plowed in, or cut and used for
| bedding. We believe that cows will eat
them while green, aud perhaps when dry, il
properly cured.

Another Proof that Bright's
Disease, in its Worst
Form, is Cur bile.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, November 81 1879.
GESTs-From my own sense Of duty, and
upon the advice Of friends, have concluded to
offer you testimonial, proclaiming to the world
that there is an absolute cure for Brght's
Disease in its worst form. My daughter Carrie
has been afflicted with this terrible disease since
she five years Of age; she is now seven
,een and during these eleven years her life has
been n burden. She has been treated by the
best physicians in Buffalo, Syracuse, Utica, lth-
AGA, Owego, Hornellsvie, Rochester and other
places, and fortune has been paid out in the
vain endeavor TO obtain cure, or even relief,
but all have pronounced her iacurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly destroyed,
that there was no help for her, and she must
abandon all hope OF ever being any better.
We finally heard OF yosr SAFE KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and suggested to different phys-
clans that we make trial OF it, but they
secuted the idea, pronounced it a humbug and
said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried sew
eral physicians here, but they, like the others,
were unable to do anything for her We also
mentioned your remedy to them, and they said
1t had a good reputation, and made some re-
markable cures, and encouraged us TO give 1t
trial. go, rs last resort, we concluded TO at
least consult you, and seven weeks ago to-day
came to your Office for that purpose took
home two bottles of your KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and commenced giving it to her accord
ing to directions, and by the time she had taken
one bottle there was u marked improvement In
her condition: she acquired control Of her urinary
functions, which she had not possessed since
childhood; all bloat subsidized; she began to gain
in good, solid flesh, and gained thirteen pounds
in about three weeks. After taking three bot
ties Of the remedy she has, in this short space
Of seven weeks, become fully cured of what was
regarded hopeless case Of Bright's Disease.

this fearful disease, and tell them as | cannot in
this letter that kno,o Brighi's Disease of the
worst type can be cured by WARMERS SAFE

desire to testify to the truth OF its statements,
and express my gratitude to whom it may be
due for recovery from this terrible affection,

What Brewers Think About Beer.

Mr.. Lii was one of Americas greatest
brewers. For thirty years he made beer,
and the product of his great establishment
on the North Side (Chicago) had wide
reputation. At last the brewery burned
down. People supposed that Mr.. Lii would
rebuild. At meeting of the business men
of that section the subject was preached,
but Mr.. Lii said that he should never build
nor own another brewery. IL was bust

Mr.. Editor In answer to your request
to write my experience in onion raising
would say that in 1878 my brother and my
self sowed onion seed to the amount Of one
half pound on two kinds of soil, a clayey
loan and intervale soil. The result was on
the first fine crop of scallions the second
was quite favorable, producing some thirty
bushels of fine onions, and quite quantity
of scallions. The next year we sowed one
pound of seed on the intervale soil, which
gave fine crop, with no scallions to speak
Of. In 1875 the same piece and enough ad.
joining (Which had carrots on it the year
before) to use three pounds of seed, being
nearly threefourtbs of an acre. The season
was quite favorable for the crop, which
yielded five hundred and fifty bushels with
out any scallions. On the part of the lot
which was sown to onions the first year the
growth was wonderful. From twelve rows
twenty feet long were gathered fourteen
bushels Of trimmed onions. The seasons Of
1878 and 1870 were very unfayorable, owing
to the hot and dry weather of July and
August, causing the onions to ripen off early
and giving only half a crop. The varieties
grown are Early Yellow Danvers, Early Red
Globe, and Early Red Flat. The latter is
quite early and very fine in quality. The Red
Globe is the most productive with us and
Of fine quality. The Danvers is fine
market variety, and very productive. Prob

Dr.. HOLMES: "The lawyers are picked

business is as unsympathetic as Jack Ketch's.
There is nothing humanizing is their rela-
tions with their fellow-creatures. They go
for the side that retains them. They de-
fend the man they know to be rogue, and
not very rarely throw suspicion on the man
they know TO be innocent. Mind you, am
not finding fault with them every side of a
case has right to the best statement it ad-
mits of but | say it does not tend to make
them sympathetic. Suppose, In case Of

with either party, according to whether the
old miser or his expectant heir was his en-
ployer. Suppose the minister should side
with the Lord or the Devil, according to the
salary offered, and other incidental advan-
tages, where the soul Of sinner was in
question. You can see what piece of work
it would make of their sympathies. But

Sanford Corn for Sugar.

Mr.. Editor In a late number Of your
paper you mention statement of mine in
regard to making syrup from Sanford corn.
Since the conversation TO which you refer,
have learned some details of experiments
made last fall, in an adjoining town. An
impromptu cane mill was fitted up in the
saw mill of Ira G. Jewell, Esq, at South
Woodbury., by using the feed rolls of large
planer and arranging tin conductors to re-
ceve and convey the juice to proper re-
ceptacle. Mr.. Jewell and several neighbors
experimental with small lots of stalks, OBJ.
tanning results that were certainly encour-
aging. Sanford corn yielded at the rate Of
gallon of syrup, weighing fourteen pounds,
from ninety-fve stalks, using only that part of
the stalk below the ear. According to Pro-
fessor Golfers experiments as to comparative
yield Of butts and tops, one hundred of these
stalks, topped at the second joint, would have
Welded at least one and twothirds gallons
If one of these stalks can be grown in every
eight inches of rows four feet apart, it would
give two hundred and sixty gallons of syrup,
that should yield one thousand four hun
bred and fifty pounds of raw sugar per acre.
And this is the result of first attempt,
with imperfect machinery. l should be
pleased if your occasional correspondent,
Jason w. Town of South Woodbury., would
prepare for your columns an account of ex-
periments made by him last season. Allow
me to suggest that those interested ask the
commissioner of agriculture for a copy Of
his "Crcular letter, Relating to the Manu-
facture of Maize and Sorghum Sugars"

Williston, Vt, February, 1880.

REMARKS by THE EDrToI.-Mr. Millers
manner Of growing onions corresponds in
every particular with our own, aud our read
ers may follow it with entire assurance OF
success, provided they secure good seed. Seeds
of all the varieties named by him are grown
in great perfection by j. j. II. Gregory OF
Marblehead, Massachusetts,. II Is better to
pay five, or even ten dollars pound for
good seed than to have inferior seed for
nothing. When the season is long enough
the Dauvers onion will be found most
profitable. On the hills, where the season
is cooler and shorter, the Early Red Flat is
the surest to ripen. Mr.. NJ Her says nothing
about fighting the onion-maggot. We know
of nothing better than to dig up every onion
as soon as it shows, by whiting, that the
worms are at work, taking considerable soil
with it, and burn, or bury two feet deep.

Jersey Milk.


Mr.. Editor was very much surprised
to read an article in recent issue of your
paper, saying that Jersey milk was not
proper food for infants on account of its
richness, indigestibility, ETC., and that oft
times illness and death occurred to children
fed with it. doubt that statement very
much. A few years ago Colonel ID. T. An
dross of Bradford had nice Jersey COW, one
of the first in town, and when Colonel John
B. Clark Of the Manchester Mirror and Far
p,er was in town he visited several herds,
such as Colonel John &. Stearns, james
Sawyer's, j. W. Bliss, aud others, to ascer-
tain the quantity and quality of milk and
butter from each COW per week, some OF
which made from fifteen to twenty pounds.
The owner of this COW could not give his
quota, for he said the milk went to feed all
the babies about there, and that was so, and
il was thought that they thrived wonderfully
upon it. do not contend that they were fed
upon the milk undiluted, but the best nurses
| have ever known teach that spoonful of
cream, with twice its quantity OF hot water,
is better for a child or an invalid than clear
milk, and, of course, the curd would not be
so hard to digest in the stomach. ! knew
a very delicate young lady whose physician
put her upon diet of nothing but milk and
graham bread for whole summer Jersey
milk was used). Her stomach regained its
capacities of digestion, she gained in health
and strength--no more dyspepsia.

REMARKS by THE EDIToR.-We are glad
to receive the above note from one of our
lady readers. The facts reported by her
exactly correspond with our experience
both in our family and in others where we
have recommended the use of Jersey milk.
We cannot understand how our friend DR..
Sturtevant should have got such an unfavor-
able impression regarding the healthfulness
of Jersey milk. 1t is true that he is very
much in love with the Ayrshire, but he is a
man of too much candor and honesty to let
that bias him, consciously. We fear he has
been little hasty in forming his opinions
in the matter
