cine that would help me. He said he had,
and he was so confident Of It that he said,
Here, take this bottle of Dr. Hchenck's Pull
monic Syrup, and If 1t does you no good you
need not pay for it," took the bottle home
and commenced using it, as you directed, aud
1t worked like magic BY the time 1t was

Salt and Ashes for Animals.

This subject has been frequently dis

salt for farm stock That al domestic
animals do better where they are con-
stantly supplied with salt. am perfect
" satisfied, from experience and long
observation. The only case where salt
seems to do injury is where. cattle have
been long without it, and then on Civ
ing them all they are Inclined to con-
snme, am willing to own that it is
temporarily injurious. not because the
article is of itself bad, but because of
taking too much at one dose. The
proper way to feed salt, is to place it
where the stock can 90 to it rs they
please, and take what they-are inclined,
to eat. Never mix it. with their food,
SO that they are compelled to take it
whether they wish it or not. More and
better butter can be made from the
milk of COW when she has her free
Il of salt, than from one entirely
dept led OF it, or having an irregular
stplf. and it also takes less time TO
chm the cream. Nature requires salt
as an aid in preserving health. 1t as

! jEg toscare people into the belief that

during this year of grace there is solid
eemfort in the following letter written
By Professor Young to Nebraska in

1851. Dear Sir-lt is true that Saturn,
= Piter and Venus are near conjunction
and L. near its perihelion. But they
have no influence whatever of anv sort

about the matter is worthy Of the dark
ages. The tom-cats fighting in the
streets Of Pekin will disturb the world
more than all imaginable planetary
conjunctions. Yours. c. 4. Young"
