FARM AND FIRESIDE.
FnruninE rs n Business.

Rural spirit
Farming certainly has itsrcvrrses
and awbarks. but amid them all the
farmer may take hope that after all he
is secure. Farming is the safest of
labor. The soil docs not GO into bank
ruptcy, and always pays ills owner &C
cordlng to his efforts made to improve
aud fructify it.
Nor does the farm enrbezzle any
thing. As q debtor it can lie trusted,
AS clerk it can be relied upon. This
is more than many business men can
say The soil always payssomcthing,
and if the laws of nature are not vio-
lated by the owner, the former will
not try to put into operation the alb
surd notice of science, falsely SO called.
The farm does not stop before the
work is done, though its owner some
times does.
As a business, then, farming is safe;
it can he depended upon. Ii will give
the farmer good living for himself
and family, and something over. No
one living can fare better than the
farmer He has the choice of every
thing that is made, and Il bonndess
variety to suit all seasons and all whims
Of appetite. True, he must work, bnt

Need Of More Farm Homes.

Need of More Farm Homes.
Farm and Firsside.
The tendency to monopolize and
appropriate largo tracts of land byone
or more individuals and hold them for
speculative purposes is exceedingly
objectionable to the welfare of the
community surrounding or coutigu-
ous to them 1t is 4 weii-known fact
that il every sparseiy-settled district
there are bnt few churches, schools,
pOstoffiees, mills, manufactures and
transportation facilities. sa ...
In nearly every community there
are some men whn never seem to he
happy unless farm after farm is added
to the already great number of but
indiffercntiy cultivated acres OF their
original possessions. The tendency
in all the oldest settled sections of
country is to sell ont to land accumn-
lating neighbors who have been more
prosperous than themselves, and go
where land is cheap and buy larger
farms. There Is no fault more com
mon than this Farming operations,
like many others. are often attempted
on too large scale for the means of
the owner. No farmer should occupy
more land than lie can cultivate thor
oughiy and constantly improve its fer
tiiity.
Small farms, as rule, are the most
thOroug hly titled, and improved hus-
baudry is the result Small farms
with humble homes of read
ing farmers are important elements in
estimating nations strength, great
ness and power Of endurance in
struggle fornational life or supremacy.
The owners Of large tracts of land too
often have few conveniences Of life,
read but little. think hut little, and
manifest no disposition to make farm
life what it should be-attractlve, the
home beautiful and the center Of
higher intellectual and moral life

AYERS
HairVigOr

restores, with the gloss and frsshness of
yoHtb, faded or gray hAir to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darksned,
thin hair thiokensd, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
lates weak and siokly growth to TigOT, Il
prevents and cures scurf and daudrEf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As n Ladies' HAIR Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, GLOSSY, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delieate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MIR. G. P. BRIuHER writes from Kirby, o.,
s4liiB 3, JSS2: Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time | became
nearly bald. ! used part OF a bottle Of
AYERS HAIR VT6oR, which stopped the fall
ing Of the hair, and started a new growth. !
have now a full head Of hair growing vigoT
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use Of your preparation l should have been
entirely bald"
J.W. bowen proprietor of the McArth8F
(0kio) Enquirer, says AYERS HAIR VTGoR
h. a NEST 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 dandFuf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
u give entire satisfaction"
MIR ANGUS FATRBAIRS, leader of the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
NOcalists, writes from Boston, ndss., FEB. 6,
1872 g Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which heeting
tims procureth, I hsve used AYERS HAIR
NIGoR, and go have been able to maintain
an appearance of yOuthfulnsss matter Of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes Of the public
Mrs. o. a. PRESCOTT. writing from Is Elm
ST.. CharIesfOfGH. Mass, april II, 1882 says
1.-TWO years ago about Two-thirds Of nv hair
came of. II thinned very rapidly, and vas
fast growing bald On using AYERS HAIR
NIGOR the falling stopped and new growth
commenced and IN about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good As
before il fell regularly used but one bottle
OF the NIGOR, but now use 1t occasionally as

cal of its value.
