THE ONE GREAT MEDICINE.

Without doubt there are now, and have been for
years past, several medicines OF remarkable merit
before the pubc-medicnes which have been
used, In very many cases. with excellent success.
The names OF these Will readily rScur 10 our read
ers, and they are the names OF preparations whose
WORTH for certain purposes, no ono IA supposed 10
deny. But we are fully JUSTIFIED, by unuenlab0
and notorious facts, In saying, and we do unhesi-
tatingly say, that the one great medicine or the
present day-the medicine, we mean, which now
stands pre-eminent above all otheTs-ls the IA
nous NRGErINE Of Mr.. ii. X Stevens OF Boston.
Some OF the undeniahle facts respecting this Ia
nous medicine are these:
First, II Is astonishngy efricent In really curing
the various diseases for which lt Is especially COM
pounded and intended.
Second, II acts with celebrity which Is generally
very surprising. A single bottle has often either
cured the user OF a serious difficulty, or brought
about most agreeable change, While very few
bottles have in thousands OF instances affected the
complete cure OF a long standing disease which
had previously banled the skill OF the best phy-
sicians.
Third Il acts directly upon the blood, OF which
IL is the only powerful and thorough purifier.
Fourth, the les timonials IN support OF these
facts and the extraordinary worth or this medl-
cine are from well-known ana most respect
able men and women, and, In many in-
stances, from persons holding the highest
social positions. They are not certificates from
unknown and IRE sponslble individuals. we, our
selves, know the very high estimation IN which
Negetine is held in one of the best families Ia the
CITY,
There is in short and can he, no doubt or mis-
take whatever about the unprecedented and sur
prislng efficacy, value and success OF the Negetine
AS purifier OF the blood and quick renOvator
and invigorator OF the human system, physical and
mental no medicine, as Is now generally conceded,
has ever been devised and compounded at all
equal 10 Il; and, as n speedy and thorough cure
for such complaints as catarrh, cough, stomach
weakness and fantness, loss OF appetite, dyspep-
STA, cancerous humors, scrofula, rheumatism, Kid
ney and some other equally serious complaints,
Negetlne altogether surpasses any and ali other
Known medicinal DTeparAllOns. Inc Iapulty
with which this great medicine has won It's way
into all parts OF this country and various foreign
ones since its discovery and Introduction, not many
years ago, ls something alike surprising and con-

FARM HELP.-This question of help is
one of great deal of interest, and has
quite an important bearing upon the agri-
cultural development Of the state In the
future. 1t has been the custom from time
immemorial for most men to hire their help
in The spring for the season, or until the
crops are harvested IN the fall. Then fol-
low three or four months in which the far
mer gets along without help, doing his
chores himself, while The hired man is out
of job, and must either live upon what
he has earned through the summer or get
work from other sources. This is not the
case in other kinds of business. There
men work the year round, and often year
after year in the same place. Aman likes
&c be in o klud of business that will give
him steady werk at a fair compensation.
An occupation that complies with these
conditions will find plenty of help that
can render efficient services, Now Is it
not possible for the farmer, who needs TO
hire at all, to so arrange his work that he
can profitably employ the same amount OF
help IN the winter as IN the summer. 1t
has come to this that the winter season Is
the most profitable time to make butter,
and many farmers make full as much in
winter as in summer. Dairying In winter
calls for much additional labor, certainly
if 1t is to be made profitable. There are
many things that may be done in the win
ter season that will help to equalize the
work throughout the year. We allude to
this as one of the points touching this ques-
tion Of help. The employer wants eff
cient help. the employed want steady work
and far compensation for the labor per-
formed. The relation between the two
Will be governed by the same laws as are
all other kinds of business, the natural
laws OF trade, in which both parties have
their Just and equal rights.

BROOM Corn The soil on which it is pro-
posed to raise broom corn should be rlch,
deeply plowed, narrowed, and if clods re-
main, or If the soil is newly turned, it
should be rolled. Newly broken prairie
soil Is not the best 10 grow broom corn Oh,
for although it may be successfully grown
upon such soil, it ls apt to be rank and
coarse. A rolling surface is preferable to
q fiat one, as on the latter the water may
collect, especially ID wet seasons, which
will destroy the vitality of the plant, mag
ing it scant, brittle, and unusable. OF
the varieties most in demand the Chinese,
California and Missouri evergreen stand
first. The seed of these can be obtained
OF the seedmen. a gallon and a half OF
seed will plant four acres, which ought to
produce ton ofcorn. The sowing should
be done with regularity, and care taken to
plant all at an equal depth, else cutting
may be necessary. The number of seeds
to hill may be three or tour and the dis
tance apart three feet. This ls, however,
only general rule, to which cIrcunstan-
ces may make an exception. The nature
of the soil must necessarily be taken into
consideration. If planted too close on
somd soil tte brush will be too small, and
If too far apart on other soils the brush
will be too coarse. As soon as the germ
sprouts, and for month later, the soil
should be diligently cultivated and hoed.
unless the land is free OF weeds. 1t should
be cut while still green, and while, at
slight pressure, milk exudes from the seed.
