most satisfactory results. My observations
were nStsher small in number nor hastily
made. They extended over several months
and embraced large number Of cases
which have proved so satisfactory to my
mind, that / would earnestly urge apon
my professional brethren the Importance
of giving a fair and patient trial to War
ner's Safe Cure. In large class Of all
ments where the blood is obviously in an
unhealthy state, especially where glandu-

of chronic indisposition in which there is
no evidence of organic mischief, hut where
the general health is depleted, the face sal
low, the urine colored, constituting the
condition in which the patient Is said to be
bilious the advantage gained by the use

of tissue.

II Is A SCIENCE.

One of the astounding things con-
nected with the livestock business,
says the Pafsbnrg StOckman, is the
vast difference in results which differ.
ent men will reach in feeding. II il
frequently the case that feeders who
are apparently situated alike in the
matter of facilities, etc will como ont
so widely apart in summing up years
work that they would seem to have
been engaged in totally dissimilar
lines of business. These things are
often matters of asionishment. Every
observer knows that they do exist, but
il is sometimes puzzle to tell why
they should exist. One man will make
plenty of money where another will
lose, while circumstances will favor or
:. ywn on both alike. The difference is
in the men their energy, their meth
ODDS, their knowledge Of what they are
doing, their painstaking looking after
details, and their personal manage
ment. No one of these things would
seem TO be sufficient to account in
itself for profit or loss; but combined
they are fully enough to cover the
widest range of variation in results.
Feeding is science. aud he who
would follow il most successfully must
master all of its details. II Is a splen-
did occupation in which to show the
possession of brains and experience.
DO not be afraid Of bringing into it
too much OF talent or of education--it
affords room for the exercise of the best
mental training and common sense.

TREATMENT OF A COLD.

The old proverb, "feed cold and
starvc fever" is n mischievous fall
lacy; for with cold there is always a
fever, and the cold cannot get well un-
til the fever subsidies, and the fever
will not readily subside while the food
supply is kept up.
Warmth and abstinence are the best
remedies for colds, and should be ap-
piled promptly TO insure favorable re-
suits. Warmth keeps the pores of the
skin open, thus relieving the system of
the surplus secretions which Cypress
it; abstinence cuts off the supply of
material which makes phlegm, which
would otherwise be coughed up, thus
rasping the throat and irritating the
air passages. if not laying the founda-
ton for diseases of the throat and
lungs, which are liable to endure to
the close of life.
The moment person is satisfied he
has taken cold, let him do four things /:
First, take foot bath rs warm as il
can he comfortably borne, letting the
feet remain in the water ten to fifteen
minutes second, go TO bed in COM
Portable room and cover up well ;
third, eat nothing; fourth, drink as
much cold water rs he wants, and rs
much herb tea as he can conveniently.
In three cases out OF four he will be
well in thirty-six hours; but as the
system is sensitive. for while after
the treatment, care should be taken
not to contract new cold.
Ifs cold is neglected for two days,
it will generally run its course of
about two weeks in spite of any treat
ment; the cough does not commence
until day or two after the cold is
taken, thus giving the cold three or
four days to become fixed in the sys-
TEN; and just here is the starting
point of a multitude of diseases. The
secrctions are checked, the natural
functions of the body are weakened,
and there is little resistance to dis
ease: hence the liability TO rheuma-
tism, concessions that end in consump-
ton, and that disease so fatal after
middle agc-pneumonia.
When cold becomes seated, then
the only safe plan is to place yourself
on the "sick list" and remain i'm the
house until health is completely re-
storcd.-HoUs journal Of Heath.

LARGE on smALL HORSES.

= One of our correspondents pro-
pounds pertinent question for dis
cussion, ~ TO whether large horses arc
better for farmers than small ones.
We suppose he means 10 apply his
question Ia horses for Use on farms,
moi merely to the matter Of raising
horses for sale.
We hare no fancy for ovcrgrown
animals of any kind. They serve no
good purpose anywhere except, posi-
bly,, la the way satisfying curiosity.
Nor do We Ike very large horses on a
farm, and especially in prairie eoun-
try. Large and heavy horses are bet
ter for some kinds Of work even on a
farm than small ones, such, for in
stance, ms operating ,hreshing ma
chino, drawing respcrs, gang plows,
etc. This kind of work is heavy,
steady drafs, and heavy, steady ami
mails arc best for IL. But grain-cut-
ting lasts only few days ON Kansas
farns; the ssine h true Of threshing.
Gang plows are not found on many
Kansas farms, and, IL they were, thirty
days In . year would cover all the
time Of their.use. In any case forty
days would probably cover all the
time Of this peculiarly heavy work.
Thca there would be eight days Of
ordinary work 10 one Of heavy draft.
Ordinarily the proportion is much
greater In favor OF the lighter. II

APPLICATION OF MANUReS.

Some time since we had quite a cor
respondence with very intelligent
farmer on the subject of the applica-
ton of manures. Not many years ago
such subject would have been con-
sidered almost useless one, for il was
thought that anyone knew how 10
manure their lands but now the OBJ
servant, enterprising farmer il not
satisfied TO take the old, beaten track
when he has reasonable assurance
that there are newer and better roads
10 travel, merely requiring enterprise
and experiment TO demonstrate it.
Very much depends, in applying ma
nure, on the quality and kind of the
soil, as well rs on the crop to be grown
on the ground, which is the best and
most profitable way. The old plan of
applying manure 1--WE are speaking
here principally of stable manure) was
10 spread IL broadcast on the ground
before blowing. In the course of
blowing IL WAS covered several inches
below the surface, and when the corn
was planted il had to grow consider
ably before the plants were strong
enough TO send their roots down to
the manure. BY broadcasting after
blowing, especially when done late in
the spring, considerable was lost by
evaporation, and If there was any
coarse material or trash ia the ma
nurc. II was always in the way. The
heaviest cora crops we ever saw raised
were on farm where the owner al
ways plowcd the piece intended for
corn very late in the fall, and during
the winter he hauled on the manure
and broadcastcd il. In the spring
sharp harrows were run over the piece
two or three times and the corn plant
ed. by applying the manure in this
way, the soil had, by the time the corn
was planted, absorbed all of the valu-
able properties of the manure, and the
corn could commence TO grow from
the start, having a supply OF fertiliz-
ing material Ia feed il the whole sea-
son. IL is great mistake-at least
our experience has SO demonstrated
to cover mp the manure deeply, for it
will work itself down into the soil
quickly enough, and usually with but
little loss by evaporation. etc. Taken
all In all, surface manuring is more de-
sirable and profitable than blowing it
under. There may be eXceptionable
cases ON both sides which may be used
by way Of argument /; yet an extended
experience has convinced us of the
facts on which our assertion Is based,
and We hope the doubling ones win
experiment, even though on very
small scale, TO show themselves that
new ways may be better than old ones,
and may also be considerably more
profitable. Western Piormon.

Now. a very large proportion Of the

Now, very large proportion Of the
work Of farm horses is not heavy and
hard work; not so hard but that an
average-sizcd horse is able TO do il.
Ordinary Flowing is not heavy work
for a well kept team Of fair-sized
horses. Narrowing, and cultivating
corn are light work on animals so far
as draft is concerned. The most IA
tiguing part of this kind of work is
travelling over the soft ground, and
the heavier horse is, beyond rea-
sonable limit, the harder this kind Of
work is on him.
Then, there is great deal of work
about farm that is light work, and
such as light, active animal will per-
form much better than very large
and more clumsy one. Drawing light
loads about the premises, going TO and
from the market town, and many Ia
bors that require action rather than
strength.
IL one will note the difference be-
tween the movements of q very large
horse and one Of average size, he will
see marked difference In ease of ac-
ton and sprightliness of gait. Com
pare two stations: The heavy one
goes along slowly, carelessly, leisurely
striking every little rise in the ground
with his feet, and paying little attcn-
ton TO anything. The light horse
moves more gracefully, is more in a
hurry, watches every other horse in
sight, and is always ready for play.
The same characteristics arc seen in
geldings equally well kept.
A team of great, clumsy horses is
good for transfer wagon in city.
One Of such animals handles dray or
cart abont a depot to perfection. But
when it comes to light work in wag-
ons, carriages and buggies, or for GO
ing under the saddle, such horses are
not what one needs. Active, nimble-
footed animals are better there. And
there is so much of the lighter work
required on the farm, and so little OF
the really heavy, that our preference
for farm horse is decidedly in favor
of the lighter, more active and ener.
getic animal.
A large, well-made mare bred TO a
small, sprightly, ambitious stallion will
produce better farm horse than q
small mare bred to very large stall.
