rial. 1t is sufficient to know, ard every
FEEDER does know it, that the cheapest
pork grown isl made before the ad-
vent OF cold weather. There is no need
OF working for barely safe outcome in
feeding when little foresight will build
up good profit. The feeder should get
the best return possible out of his grain,
and the way to do it is to have the bulk
OF the weight made in the next ninety
days.
The sheep business has perhaps shown
greater extremes in its ups and downs
in this country than the trade in any
other stock. Cattle and hogs have been
very high and very low, but there has
hardly been time when either, if
healthy, have been gladly given away by
the owners TO get rid Of them. There
was. though, such time in sheen, as
many fockmasters can testify. Even
young farmers can remember when
sheep bought at from three to FIVE dol
lars per head are gladly sold at % cents
each. When men become panicky in
sheep they apparently lose every vest
ige of common sense, and are ready toI
do do the most ludicrous and unreasuna-
BILE things. Fortunately, however, these
terrible periods are Of rare occurrence,
and may OF be met with more than
once in 4 lifetime.-Stockman.

AYERS
Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth,
faded or gray hair 10 a natural, rich brown color,
or deep black, as maybe desired. By its use light
or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened,
and badness often, though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimulates a
weak and sickly growth to vigor. Itprevents and
cares scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every
disease peculiar to the scalp. Asa Ladies' Hair
Dressing, the VIGOR is unequalled; it contains
neither oil nor dye, renders the hair SOFT glossy,
and silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr.. C. P. BRIcHER writes from kirby, o., july
3, 1882 " Last fall my hair commenced falling
out, and i'll short time became nearly bald.
used part of a bottle of AYERS HAIR VIGOR,
which stopped the falling of the hair, and started
a new growth. have now a full head of hair
PSowing vigorously, and am convinced that but
for the use of your preparation should have been
entirely bald.''
j. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the Mc44rthur Ohio
enquirer, says LAYERS HAIR VIGOR is a most
excellent preparation for the hair. speak of it
from my own experience. Its use promotes the
growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft.
The NIGOR is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not
within my knowledge has the preparation ever
allied TO give entire satisfaction
Mr.. Angus FAIRBAIRS, leader of the cele-
brated" Fairbairn Family !" of Scottish VOealistS,
writes from Boston, Mass. Feb 6, 1880: Ever
since my hair began to give svery evidence of the
change which tieeting time procureth, have used
AYERS HAIR VIGOR, and so have been able to
maintain an appearance of youthfulness- mat
ter of considerable consequence to minister's
orators, actors and in fact every one who lives in
the eyes of the public.''
Mrs. o. 4. PRESCOTT, writing from 1s Elm ST.,
CharieStOtcn, Mass, april II, 1852, says: Two
years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off.
IL thinned very rapidly, and l was fast growing
bald. On using AYERS HAIR VIGOR the falling
stopped and new growth commenced and in
about month my head was completely covered
with short hair. 1t has continued to grow and is
now as good as before it fell. Regularly use but
one bottle of the YIGoR, but now use it occasion
ally as a dressing
We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the
efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t needs but
trial to convince the most skeptoal OF Its value.

take out the wheat, lay il where il eaH
dry off, and il is ready for sowing. even
if it is ii little damp. IL generally pays
for all trouble to procure the best seed.
The Importance of having the seeding
grain absolutely free from weed seeds
is not likely 10 be ovrr-estImated. Not
only do tho weeds greatly damage this

At Home a CObbler, lat Saratoga Gentle
man and Mystery.

Boston Post.
There will probably come a quiet we'll
hammered gentleman to Saratoga this year,
who has spent few weeks there every sea-
son for ten years past. He is a modest, UNI
assuming visitor, who is welcomed every
year by the same circle of guests, enjoys
himself as the rest do, and departs to his
business. The other eleven months of the
year he sits on a bench and makes ladies'
fine boots. He has two lives, in fact His
comrades in his working days think they
know all about him, and the people who re-
ceive him into their circle at Saratoga do
not realize that they know nothing about
him. They see him reappear every season.
He is always the same little old-fashioned,
but polished in manners and very intelligent
in mind. He never presumes- He speaks
of himself but rarely He is a charming
escort; is attentive to all the ladies in way
that compromises neither them nor himself.
But for eleven months in the year he
works upon such dainty boots as ifcase their
feet Such as his life is it came about
naturally, and he will never seek to alter it.
His father was a village shoemaker before
him, quiet man of many thoughts, one OF
the old type of philosophers, who were in
different to the world and asked only food
and clothes and leisure for contemplation.
The son was like the father executing that
he took to reading and developed fine i'm
tellectual interest in the affairs of the world.
he WlSueu 10 see GocletNi DuG 10 nave d place
in it himself was no ambition, of his, though
from quick perception he was able to take
on the manners of gentleman.
At Saratoga. by not appearing to need any
one, he could be accepted in more than one
circle, and came to know personally all the
most important men who move our national
interests in commerce, politics and railway
communications. He asked no favors, made
no claims, borrowed no mans money, made
love to no woman's daughter He made no
mystery of himself, and attracted no re-
mark Once he was asked if he was in bust
ness, aud he calmly replied that he was in
the boot and shoe trade in not large way.
AT home he works at his bench with skill
full hands and with thoughts upon his books
or the people he knows, or the larger inter
est of humanity. He earns as much as any
man can at that trade and he spends nothing
in superhuities till his month of vacation,
and nothing upon vacations at any time. A
man may get on with very little if he is
unmarried and philosopher. When he
leaves his work he spends bis evenings as
MachaYell spent his in exile. After bath
and a change of garments, he takes up his
book and enters into the company of the
best minds of all ages.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-07-06

Therefore if she can buy cheap material and
then get free pass into the markets OF the
world, she can successfully compete with
all other nations, and drive the
manufacturers of other countries
to the wall shut up their shops
and put their workmen to producing the
material for her manufactures; aud were we
fools enough in this country to adopt free
trade our gold and silver by the million
would flow into her co fiers and we would
transfer our DePauws and iron kings, as we
term them, to the shores and within the cities
of England. Hence we find the Golden club
hard at work TO get this country in the notion
of free trade, Hence also the busy circula-
ton of the History OF the Free trade Move
ment in England" by Augustus Mongredieu.
Does any sane man believe that England
is making this great effort for the benefit of
our people? England who Expresses her
own poor and grinds down her own laborers
with an iron heel, is not very apt to be
solicitous about the welfare of our poor and
our laborers No; England unlike our own
free-traders sees clearly what will most bene-
fit her own people. Now, let us turn to our
own country. We have a land vast in its
resou rees and wonderful in its products OF
the raw material, and at the same time with
the very greatest facilities for manu-
featuring purposes. IT, A, with 500
hands, settles in community 10 make agri-
cultural tools and b with 500 more to make
clothing, we have 200 men to consume the
produce of the farmer. where before we had
none, and the farmer has q market at his
door; and where the farmer had one dollar
before with which TO buy the material for a
shirt lie now has five Adopt free trade, and
A and 3, with their 1000 men, instead of
consuming and purchasing the farmers
products, will shut up shop because they
cannot compete with Englands cheap labor,
and will themselves go to farming
and by so doing will lessen the demand and
increase the supply of farm products. There
can be no question about the foregoing.
Theories may be nice things, but it is the
practical workings that sensible men most
desire. Greeley was fine farmer i'll theory,
but every one knows that practically he made
great failures. The writer has in person WIS.,
tied the manufacturing districts of Pennsyl-
vania and the East, and his observation
while there made him a protectionst No
greater good, in a financial way, could be
wished for to the farmers of Indiana
than that manufacturing establishments
would spring up all over the State under
wholesome protection, giving employment
to a half million skilled workmen who, with
their families would create a demand at
home for the farmers surplus produce. Give
us tins and in addition, give US such laws as
will prevent the too great absorption of
the products of labor by the few, and, in my
humble opinion, we will have as just and
equitable as we'll as the most happy adjust
ment of the whole matter as is possible in
human affairs. L. =.
