Fruit Of all descriptions, with the
exception Of peaches, will be very
abundant this year. The raising Of
fruit is no longer a complicated prob

well as all the small fruits, they
would certainly pronounce Saline
county one among the best Of the

GOLDEN SEAL BITTERS are the
great blood purifier, liver and kidney remedy
and life giving principle, perfect renovator
and invigorator of the system carrying away
all poisonous matter and restoring the blood
to healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating both mind and body. They
are easy of administration, prompt in their
action, certain in their results. safe and re.
liable in all forms of disease. Every mo-
ment Of our lives, every part of our bodies,
is wearing out and being built up anew.
This work is accomplished by the blood.
The blood if pure makes the entire circuit OF
the body every seven minutes. But if it be-
comes weak or vitiated and does not per-
form its work properly the system is actually
poisoned by the worn out matter clogging
the vital organs instead of leaving the body.
Cleanse the blood whenever you had its
impurities bursting through the skin in pim-
pies, eruptions, sores, etc. Keep the liver
in order, the blood pure, health of the sys-
tenn will follow. Take GOLDEN SEAL
BITTERS and no others. Sold by Fisk,

Fertilizing Soil.

DIR. +. NJ. Hale, gentleman OF sci
ence, sends us the following.
81 lately saw statement in one of the
foreign journals devoted to Agricultural
Chemistry, that the lack of fertility in
some soils was due to the presence of
the Soluble Sulphdte OF Iron. Now l
know this to be the case in some parts
of Florida. 1t was suggested that this
injurious constituent of soils could be
removed by the application of Cdustic
Lime, (unslaeked lime) which by unit
ing with the Sulphuric acid would leave
the Iron in an insoluble state, while the
resulting Sulphate Of Lime would act as
a manure. This fact should be remem-
bered: To testthe soil for Sulphate of
Iron; tits only necessary to mix a few
pounds of the suspected soil in gallon
OF water, and add a little tannin, tea
spoonful, or iftannin cannot be procured,
put into the water apiece of tan bari"
or any bark containing tannin (oall, SUI
mach, etc.) Yours truly, 2 4
