From c. w. EMERSON, ESQ, OF Natick, Mass.
DR. j. ri. SCHENcK SON, Sixth and Arch Streets.
Philadelphia, Pa;
Gentlemen-I send you herewith am account of
my case, and have been careful 10 conrne my
self strictly 10 plain facts:
was taken sick In the latter part OF June, 1879;
the doctor said IL Congestion OF the Lungs and
three days after had what he called Congestion
OF the Liver. Among other medicines I took six
blue pills. and after ten weeks was Just able TO 10
around the house. | had bad cough and raised
a. much as a pint OF clear matter In "a dRy. then
went to the state or Maine (my native place.
About this time the matter raised was Streaked
with blood, and when coughed 10 seemed as though
a thousand needles were sticking between my
shoulders and through my left breast consulted
lung doctor at Bangor; he examined me care
fully; he shook his head and said there was no
use in taking anything but stimulAnts. Finally
came home, and having heard of two cures by
your medicines, concluded 70 give them trial.
Atthis time often coughed up clear blood, and
was 90 weak had 90 rest when halfway up the
stairs, and weighed only one hundred and twenty
four pounds. My feet and ankles were so swollen
that IL was very difficult for me to walk. / had
steady dlarrhua which nothing would check, and
night sWeats every night
bought one dozen Of your medicines, and two
boxes OF your Mandrake Pills, ami commenced
taking them. Some OF my friends said it was
throwing money away. and advised me 10 20 10
the Massachusetts, General Hospital but was de-
termined TO give them fair trial / could not see
any improvement until had taken several bottles:
then however. began TO feel little stronger /
took the medicine regularly, bottle each OF Pull
monic Syrup and SeaWeed Tonic in four or Ave
DAYS and after taking u dozen bottles or more
they could see that was better. / Coughed less,
my night sEeats were less violent, began 10 re-
gain my appetite and flesh, and in a short time
was quite my old self, and weighed one hundred
and elghty-seven pounds; have continued gaining
strength ever since, and am as well as ever. l
have not lost meal for eight months, can hold
my breath half minute, and run mile with ease;
my lungs are apparently as sound as can be. / am
satisfied had Consumption
want TO impress on all who are af1cted tn at
persevering have since recommended 1t TO two
others. both of whom il has cured and / am 1irm
I'm the belief that Consumption can be cured by
the faithful use of your medicines, and know

PoT AToEs UNDER STRAw.-Several years
ago there was much said about growing
potatoes under straw, and we published at
the time several reports from those who
had tried the method with success. Inter-
est in the subject appears to be renewed,
TO judge from Inquiries The method is
very simple. The land is prepared in the
usual manner and the rows marked of;
the sets are dropped along therows and
very slightly OF not all covered with soil.
The whole field, or bed, is then covered
with eight or ten inches of old straw.
Nothing more is required until digging
time, unless some strong weeds should
make their way through the straw, and
these may be pulled. 1t is claimed that the
yield is larger and the potatoes are much
handsomer than those treated in the usual
manner.

RAISING TURKEYS. Select by weight
the largest fowls to breed from; If possible,
have the gobblers from TWO 10 four years
cd. The eobbler and hen should not be
related TO each other. Have no more than
four hens to each gobbler, and do not
starve them during the winter. Watch
them closely about laying time, as they
nearly always hunt nest the day before
they deposit their first egg. Make good
large nest in some building that you can
COZ fine them ID, end next morning after
they hunt their nest catch them, and shut
them up in the place where you have made
the nest, for after they have laid one egg
there they VIII always go back to that
nest. If they choose a good place of their
own accord | let them alone; though put
few common hens eggs IN the nest and
take out the turkey eggs every day, and
keep i'll cool place, as heat Injuries them
quicker, than cold, provided it does not
freeze. let each turkey set the first time
she wants TO; but let no young turkeys
run With q common hen, for If they do SO
bali dozen times they are more trouble
than fifty running with turkey hen. The
az Va 4S1tALS set Ol SlCAl
first laying of eggs is this: The young tur-
keys are hatcned before the weeds and
grass get high enough to wet and befouI
them in the mornings. l watch them
two or three days, that no weak ones are
lost; then they get no more attention, only
feeding when they come to the house. On
no account give them raw food when
small. feed mine on corn bread, some
times soak it in sour milk, and sometimes
give them curd. Never Shut them up un-
less it rains ha:d. l have been raising tur-
keys for several years, and have never had
one sick yet. Most of my chickens died
with cholera last fall, and one of my tur-
keys took it very bad; his flesh had turned
dark colored when l found him. I gave
him pill of assal etida the size OF pea
and about tablespoonful of equal parts OF
sulphur, cayenne pepper and rosin, and he
got well. | gave the others sulphur twice
a week tor about month, and none of
them took the cholera.

AN excellent plan TO save old uqpKlns
and table cloths is TO cut out the good
parts and put them away IN bag aporo-
priately labeled, and have them ready for
use in case of sickness. A house wife
whose system Is so complete that 1t IS
hard to believe that she has lived on earth
only about forty years giues this advice,
and she says also that we should keep an.
other bag with pieces of flannel, and an.
her with old cotton cloth, for the same
purpose.

FLcUR was formerly made by simply
grinding wheat at one operation to the fin
est flour from the bran. necessarily grind
ing in much of the bran with flour and
discoIoring it, while much of the very best
material was separated with the bran and
lost. The later common method Is to
glind very coarsely the wheat several times
using strong blasts of air between each
grinding to separate the bran from the
granulated interior porGlon and at last
crush it to the floor, relieved of all the
bran. The new electric method consist
in passing the mlddlings under revolving
hard,rubber cylinders. electrified by con-
tact with sheepskin. The particles of bran
fly up to meet the rubber, from which they
are turued off in side channel, the pur:-
fed mlddllngs, freed from bran, passing
through rollers to become fine flour.

AGRICULTURE.

STABLE CLEANING. Forty to fifty years
ago. and we are sorry to say that the evil
still exists at the present time, at points
far awav from towns and cities and dense
populations, there was nothing so much
neglected as the keeping OF cow stables
clean. AS common rule they were clean
Ell ont once q week oh Saturday-and
then 1t was noe so much on account of the
comfort and health of the animals and the
convenience and tidlness OF The mllker, as
SIMPLY because the pile of manure might be
gotten out of the way TO allow OF the put
ung up and letting loose of the cattle
nornngs and evenings. We have seen
the manure in the cattle stalls two feet
deer of almost clear dung, with the hinder
part of the animal at least one foot higher
than the front part, and the cattle being
driven out to the pasture field with guam
titles of fresh dung hanging to their 1anks,
which from day TO day received layer upon
layer until 1t was disgusting mass, and
was left there until 1t became dry and hard
and fell on in flakes of Its own action. The
litter-about a fourth the quantity cattle
now receive-consisted of stalks OF corn
fodder which could not be eaten, the weeds
left in hay, the rakings OF dirty straw lying
about the outbuildlngs, and sometimes
mixed with few leaves from the woods.
The food of the dairy cows consisted of
musty cornfodder, second crop clover and
orchard grass, badly cured, chaff from the
winnowinrS of the threshed grain, oats,
straw, &c. The cows were of course as
thin almost ms skeletons, and their product
of poor milk was about one-half of what
would have been obtalped from properly
fed cattle. The fact is that the farmer
took no rride in his live stock. The idea
of giving them clean stalls, good ventila'
ton and nourishing food, never entered his
thoughts, and If it did would have been
regarded as an utter waste of money,
without any return. But look al the sta
bles now of the dalry-stock! Their stalls
are wide, clean and fresh, the cattle them
selves are bright and sleek, with no pro-
jecting ribs, and pleasant to handle, we'll
fed, comfortable In every way, and giving
two or three times the quantity of milk
and as rich as it is abundant. The butter
from such cows commands twice the price
from its careful manufacture and uniform
excellence. At the present time also the
farmer feels more pride in his dairy stock
than IN anything else upon his farm. He
finds that they give double return for all
the extra care and cost or their improved
treatment, and that he has nothing upon
his premises that pays hun so well In every
respect as they. Finding so satisfactory
return from this part Of his stock, he
extends his exua care in bis purchases of
sheep and swine, and after few years of
trial he discovers that they pay equally
we'll in proportion as bis cows. And IN
that way his improved system of husband
ry progresses from year TO year, ana bis
methods are patterns for his neighbors,
until whole district Is revolutionized and
the old harum-s sc. rum ways are utterly
abandoned
