AYERS CArHARTIc Pills are the best
Of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ra-
lions, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from Their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
TO the needs OF the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, If timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where a mild but edectual
cafhartic Is required.
For sale by all druggists.

nourishment necessary. In time, when the
farmers of Colombo have made rule to
plan, timothy and the grasses peculiarly
adapted to irrigation, they may then with
impunity use the quantity Of water recon-
mended BY English and Italian irrisators.
HOW MUCH AND WHEN TO IRRIGATE.
The best time to irrigste is early in the
morning, before the sun acquires very great
power. or in the evening, when it is about
to 70 below the horizon. A good time to
water land Is when Q cloud comes up and
you expect shower. In nine cases out Of
ten the shower does not give all the water
needed, % your work will not be useless.
In the spring the work Of irrigation COM
mspces in earnest. 1t is not necessary to
use to the waite. in May 80 fertilizer, but
simply to msisten the earth a. germinator.
Probably it may mot need any water if
large quantity has fallen during the winter.
The water which comes down from the
mountains then is the melted snow and sur
face water; but in June and July the sedi-
mentary deposits are running, and the
crops want the fertilizer, the farmer should
irrisaie by flooding; and in the fail. when
the streams are limpid, it should be done by
catch-work. The soil should not be kept
continually moist; dryness on the surface
does not always indicate dryness below.
1t will not hurt crops to let them get &C.
ca.ioniy partially dry. Some crops require
more water than others, and come will bear
very little alta time; twenty-four houu'
watering will not hurt wheat and other
small grains. nor beans, peas, turnips and
rutabsgas, beets and cabbages will not bear
more than twelve hours Of continuous moie.
ture, Is their root 6bers are so delicate that
they soon get choked up and rotten. In
such cases they will sometimes shoot out
more fiberr, but often they will die, and a
retardation Of growth is certain. 1t should
be continued in August, as in that month
the rainfall is usually lees; in September
also, and in fact, until early winter, or the
ordinary rains and snow appear. II an or
binary or sufficient quantity does not fall, 1t
should be continued all the winter at inter
walls, as it prevents the frost from extending
too deep in the soil.

Howa Women Swears.

There Is sudden and energetic
slamming of the door at the conclusiont
Of a debate, a torcible emphasis which
punctuates argument and clinches as
with the pound ing Of the fist the word
which has been spoken. A shrewd wri-
ter calls the slamming OF the door in
this style a'wooden OATH The def nj
ton is well-chosen. The person who
thus violently closes the door Is laboring
under an accumulation of pent-up ex-
ASPIRATION which, if she were man,
would find its way ont in a torrent OF
harsh expressions uttered with angry
infections. A man does not generally
close the door with bang to indicate
that he is in a state Of wrathfulness;
neither does a woman swear.
The condensed volume OF eloquent ex.
pres sion which is packed into the petu-
Lent closing the door would, if expand.
ed, make several large pages OF type,
most of which would be interjections
and exclamation points. When the door
slams relief fullo"s, just as after the ex-
plosion ola steam boiler, the pressure
is of. There is an opportunity for a
breathing spell. With portiers, which
are now such substitute 70, the hinged
door, and which is made of dry goods,
