AmputatiOn of the Leg.
The Old Family Physician at Fault.-Dr.
David Kennedy the Successful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity. and none
but a cynic or fool will affect to despise it.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster
county, \. Y, had realized this truth His
disease involved the whcle of his thigh-bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
deliverer. His family physician refused to
amputate the limb-asserting that the opera
tion would kill the patient on the spot DIR.
Darid Kennedy, of Rondout, n. Y, who was
consulted held different opinion, and am
putated the limb. The Doctor then admin
istered freely his great Blood Specific
FAVORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system, prevent the return of
the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to
this dag in the bloom of health. This gentle
mans disease was the offspring of foul blood.
and Kennedy's FAVORIrE REMEDY
purified the blood and restored to him the
power once more to enjoy his life. Are you

Raise More Corn.

Complaints from the victims of the dis
astrous failure of j. Winslow Jones con-
tinue to be heard in every direction. That
a cry of distress should arise. and feel
ing of indignation prevail among farmers
who. in many instances. have lost the
| fruits of whole seasons toll is not
strange. But if the raising of sweet corn
for canning is fraught with dangers. why
should farmers not turn their attention to
the raising of an increased amount of gel
low corn. The average amount of sweet
corn raised on an acre is about 1900 cans.
while 2o00 is large yield. At , -
cents per can, the ruling price. the corn
would give the producer from $50 to $50
per acre. Land however, that is fertile
enough to yield 20o0 cans of sweet corn to
the acre, will produce from 50 to Go bush
els of shelled field corn on the same area
which. at present prices, would be worth
about AS much rs the swee. corn. Now
our farmers are annually paying out large
sums of money for Western corn. There is
hardly farmer in the State but what pur-
chases more or less. We know of farm
ers whose monthly bill for provender
alone is $50. and their number is not by
any means small either. Hundreds of
thousands of bushels of this corn are every
year brought into the State, large part
of which is fed out by farmers to poultry,
hogs, cattle and horses. We believe that.
instead of consuming the Western pro-
duct, enough should be raised in our own
fields to supply home consumption. Maine
is by no means an inferior corn growing
State. Her soil almost invariably pro-
duces and climate ripens AN abundant
crop of this cereal. while the average
number of bushels to the acre in the State
is 63 per cent larger than the average
throughout the Union. Maine cannot al
ways depend upon the West Tor her corn
supply. The time is not far distant when
that immense section will cease TO pour
out to the East and to foreign countries
us ehorhous wealth. Oh cereals. Every year
the area of unsettled lands becomes less.
and the exhaustion of the soil is but a
matter of time. Besides this, consuming
centres are being constantly formed which
eventually will absorb the surplus should
there be any. When the Western supply
ceases, then our farmers will be obliged to
depend on their resources and to raise on
their farms the corn which they consume.
In view of these facts. we do not believe
that it is for the interest of Maine farmers
to desert yellow corn entirely and plant
sweet corn in its stead, although the sweet
corn business is a growing industry and
one which should be encouraged and fos-
tered.

The Sunny Side OF Death.

Take the sunny side of DEATH
Sooner or later IL must come to all,
and at the latest it is only a few
swiftly.passing days distant. Kings
and potentates have no refuge from
the summons of the dread messen-
ger. Death is the great lcveler of
man, and dust to dust the heritage
of all. Why, then, should wo shrink
from its contemplation? Why ban
ish it from our thoughts with shud-
der? 1t is not rational to permit
death to shadow our lives; nor is it
rational to turn in terror from what
must as surely come as to-morrow's
sun. Those who are suddenly chilled
day after day by the thoughts of
death either shadow their lives BY
misdeeds, or reject the philosophy
that should make every well.ordered
life wait serenely for its end. The
rational apprehension of the upright
man is, not that he may fall too soon
in the race, but that he may linger
too long, and outlive everything but
hope.

Newspaper borrowers.

An exchange recently published a
letter from lady subscriber, in
which she bitterly complained Of the
annoyance she experienced from the
habit her female neighbors had of
constantly borrowing her papers.
The exchange offers the suffering
lady, and all others similarly situated,
an adequate means of succor. Here
is the plan: Let the lady, immedi.
ately upon receiving the paper, care
fully cut from it some item-most
any item will do, only let it be neat
ly and carefully removed from the
paper. Then the following proceed
ure will be sure to ensue: In a few
moments the neighbours boy will
come after the paper-he will take it
home-within three minutes he will
emerge from the house and scoot
down the street and very often re.
turn with folded newspaper Of the
same date rs the one just borrowed.
by the time the clipped paper has
circled around among the female
borrowers, the streets will be lively
with hurrying boys and the revenue
Of the newspaper will be materially
increased. Not one woman among
them all would be able to sleep q
wink without knowing just exactly
what that cut-out item was. The
next day the lady must pursue the
same course, and similar results will
surely follow. In an extremely OBJ
stinate neighborhood these proceed
ings have to be repeated three or
four days but no longer. By that
time the lady will be able to read
her paper in peace, and the news
papers finances will be the gamer,
through several new subscribers.

Cooked Food,

The feeding value of cooked or
steamed potatoes seems to be some
what greater than raw, or at least
their action is less facilitating. 1t
is stated by some authorities, that
COWS fed on cooked or steamed pota-
toes, yield richer milk than those fed
on raw ones, though the quantity of
milk is smaller. Potatoes should not
be fed alone, but mixed with other
fodder containing moro albuminoids.
The dry substance should not contain
more than one.quarter potato
Though potatoes are rich in potash
and contain considerable phosphoric
acid, yet they are deficient in soda
and lime, hence this latter substance
should be supplied in feeding mich
= oo~s, hpt-mnre especially in tho food
ing of young and growing stock,
where a proper proportion of lime is
absolutely necessary for the fullest
development of the bony structures.
