How Many Gallons Make a BusheI.

Dublin (Ga.) Post
MIR. W. ii. Hudson stepped into the
live grocery store Saturday evening
and asked how many gallons made a
bushel. He wanted to measure corn
in gallon pot. He was surprised to
be told that he could not measure corn
at all in gallon measure, and nothing
but ocular demonstration could convince
him that eight liquid quarts do make
a peck. A great many people think
eight gallons make bushel, but nine
gallons fall short of a bushel by about
seventy-nine cubic inches. The trouble
arises from the difernce in the sizes of
quarts. The dry measure quart is
larger than the liquid measure quart.
We have been led to make a note of
this in our local column by telling the
above circumstance in quite crowd of
intelligent gentlemen and noticing that
every one of them, like Mr.. Hudson,
thought that eight gallons ought to
make a bushel. In like manner seven
men out of ten-and among them sew
en- physicians-think that there are
48O grains of quinine in an ounce bottle
whereas close scrutiny of their old
arithmetics would show that there are
only 4374 grains. These are both less.
ons Of an eminent practical character,
but the ordinary school methods are too
dreamy to reach any thing practical.

DIR. j. BRADFIELD'S
Female Regulator
WOman's Best Friend.

1t is we'll known to physicians, and alas
too well known to suffering women them
selves, that they are subject to numerous
diseases peculiar to their sex, such as sus-
pension of the Menses, painful and scanty
MenstruatiOn, liberation and Falling of the
Womb, attended with an endless train of
sympathetic and constitutional disorders,
which embitters the whole life, and which
have long been considered incurable. But
at last the remedy has been found in
Dir. j. Bradfleld's Female Regulator.
1t is not "cure.all" but a remedy for one
class of diseases, all of which pertain to the
womb.
Any sufferer from the diseases mentioned
can take this remedy and thus relieve her
self without revealing her condition to any
one, and without subjectng her womanly
mOdesty to the shock of an examination by
a physician.
To bring health and happiness to the
homes of suffering women is mission be-
fore which royal favor sinks into insight

pare with one which protects from
THAT dire disease whose ruthless power
Withers beauty's transient fOwer%

full grown beauty for the sharp and wither-
ed form of emaciation, long life of physi-
cal, mental social and domestic enjoyments
for few sad days of pain aud gloom, end

such are the results of DIR. j. BRADFIELD's

The, White Star potato, a variety

to be more productive than the early

great variety of soils. In appearance
and table qualities it is frSt-class.
DIR. j. L. Jensen, director of agri-

long series of experiments, that those

most free from disease.
