AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTICPILLsa act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and q host OF other ailments, for all Of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use Of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prao-
tice, shows uamistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"AYER's PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion: l have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing could look to
for relief. One dose Will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
have ever found. 1t Is pleasure 10 me to
speak in their praise, and l always do so
when occasion offers.

The frst neal contest in the campaig .

The first real contest in the campaign
of 1884 took place in Maine on Monday.
and the Republicans have cause to re-
juice over grand victOry-a more COM
plete and overwhelming ole than the
most sanguiue claimed. Gov. Robbie, the
Republican candidate. is re elected by a
majority of 10000 to $4,000. four Repub-
licau COngressmen, and both branches
of the Legislature. by largely increased
majorities. Not a single State Senator
was elected by the opposition, and the
Republican county tickets were success
full in every county save one. The Dem
ocrats had their strongest man in the
tield, and made a desperate tight, using
thousands of dollars of money sent from
New York. Up to Sunday night, they
were confident of downing both Reed
and Boutelle for Congress, and would not
concede but five 10 seven thousand ma
jority in the State. The result is that
they have been ignominiousiy routed,
horse, foot and dragO8n.
This victory has a meaning, and is a
pSlnSOt bOWNIu
triumph in November. IL is a notice to
the country at large that the people Of
the State who have honOred Mr. Blaine
for twenty-five years, siiil have faith in
his ability, integrity and patriotism, and
spurn the aspersions upon his character
AS man and statesman. La measuring
the grand achievement of the Republi-
cans OF Maine on Monday, it must be
recollected that two years ago Governor
Robie's majority was only $3.50. Gar
field carried the State by only S,S6S, and
at the State election the same year the
Republicans lost the State. In 1878, the
Democrats and Greenback Fusionists
carried the ate by 12,757 majority. and
the next year the Republicans failed by
over 500 majority.
A dispatch to the Wheeling Intellir
gencer dated Augusta, Maine, Septem-
Der o. from Gen. Nathan Goff, Jr., who
has been taking pat in the Maine CAM
paign, says: Tie Republican victory in
Maine is complete. The party elects the
entire state ticket by over $4,000 major
L ity. Ali the Congressmen are secured
and the Legislature is overwhelmingly
Republican. The party carries every
county bu one. This city (Mr. Blaine's
home) gives an increased Republican
majority, and the people are wild with
delight.

or fences, and produce crops of lucious
fruit. The quantity sent by rail from
Botley Station in one season has been
o69 tons cwt., that from Fareham Sta
ton 10. tons II cwt., making total
from these two stations alone of SIG tons
> cwt. Strawberries are also cultivated
near other stations in this locality in
smaller quantities, and very large guam
titles are disposed of locally to shop
Keepers and to hawkers, who during the
strawberry season have their barrows
loaded with fine fruit in every street in
south coast towns, the prices being so
low i'll London that it did not pay to
send it there. Very fine fruit could be
purchased here at ninepence per gallon.
1t was computed by those well versed in
such matters that over 900 tons were
grown within a few miles radius of Bot
ley Station. The earliest gatherings
from this locality usually realize high
prices, as, the soil being naturally light
and warm, the crops mature early, es-
pecially where the land slopes well to
the south. These are sent to London in
punnets; in fact, in seasons in which
the cropis light, the majority of the fin
est fruit is sent up in this manner. But
this year the price for strawberries in
punnets was high only for very short
time j they then averaged rs. Cd. per
gallon, but as soon as the crop came in
from later localities the price dropped to
Is. per gallon, and for some time even
lower than that. Growers do not look
ON such an unusually fine crop as we
had this year as an unmixed good, as
the profits do not equal those secured
on an average crop with prices ranging
higher, the expenses of gathering mark
ing, &c. leaving but little balance in the
hands of the grower"
The chief points in the management
OF this crop, are first trenehing the soil
two spits deep, or on a large scale it is
deeply plowed; all weeds thoroughly
picked out and burnt; planting in Sep
TENDER or March by means of large dib-
bers, in rows from two to three feet
apart; heavily manuring the plants by
winter application; keeping the ground
scrupulously clean by vigorous hoeing;
and mulching in April with fresh stable
manure if to be had, otherwise with bar
ley or oats straw, which is collected after
the crop is gathered, for use another
year. In rare instances, with high pri-
ces, a hundred pounds per acre ($5O0)
have been realized The runners are
cut off clean after the fruit is gathered

Rotten Wood for Stock.

Mich cows, calves, sheep, hogs and
poultry, and sometimes horses and
mules, need some notwithstanding sub
stance to be taken into the stomach
every few days, or else they will lose
appetite and fall off in flesh. This is
especially the case with fattening swine,
and also with turkeys fattening for the
market. But all animals need some
anti-acid, more or less frequently, dur
ing the whole of their lives. In all such
cases in which stock have not wide range
so that they can hunt for and find what
they need, the material must be sup
piled them by their owners.
Common charcoal is, beyond all ques-
ton, the best substance for this need of
the stock, and every farmer would do
well to keep barrel or two always on
hand, to be used as required. tits use
full for many purposes besides relieving
the stomachs of domestic stock. The
next best article to take its place is fire.
coal and ashes from the fire place. This
is almost equal to the pure charcoal.
And next in order for the same use
comesrotten wood-wood so far decayed
as to be soft and crumbling to the touch,
and easily chewed by the animal. Arms
full of rotten wood put in pen of fat
tening hogs will be consumed in a short
time. So, if you have not the other ar
ticles, you can supply the place by col
lecting rotten pine or other wood, and
putting it where stock can get it. For
poultry, beat it fine and mix with meal
or bran.-Er.

Plants for Window Culture.

Many persons think plant of no val
ue unless it flowers. If amateurs could
be content with an abundance of hand
some foliage, with here and there plant
in flower, they would derive much more
satisfaction from their attempts at win
dow gardening With view to aid those
who undertake window gardening, we
enumerate few plants that will be quite
sure to succeed. In the first place, as to
plants cultivated for their foliage only.
The most valuable of these is Ivy. A
plant of either English or Irish Ivy, to
be trained up over the window, is most
pleasing, or Ivy may be planted in a
hanging basket, to trail over the sides
and be twined up the handles. For
plants of this kind in pots, the India
Rubber Plant, (Ficuseldstica), is one of
the best. It's leaves are large and vigor-
Gus, while the reddish sheaths to the
young leaves are almost as handsome as
flowers. The Umbrella Sedge, Cyperus
tLternifOlius, looks something like min
allure palm, is easily cultivated and very
SNOWY. The universal window plant of
Paris is Aspidistrd lurida rdriegdtG,
which has no common name. Our florists
supply it, and it is an excellent plant for
the window. The plant known as the
Wandering Jew, Aaron's Beard, and by
many other names, is Sdrifrogd sdrment-
osG. 1t throws off runners which hang
over the pot or.basket in graceful man
ner, and though it sometimes blooms,
the flowers are not snowy, and it's chief
beauty is in its variegated leaves. Among
plants to flower in the window, we
place first the Chinese Primroses. If
plants are to be procured fromsa florist,
select those that do not yet show their
flower buds. They flower for long
time. Some Of the Begonias, such as B.
.ftschioides and B. nsttt;forl, are free
towering, and of easy culture. The So
called Crab's-claw Cactuses (EpiphyI-
Luna) are excellent window plants, as are

Orange Preserves.

Crate the thin outer portion of the
rind, then squeeze out all the juice and
pulp; put the oranges into cold water,
and let them lie for one day and night /;
meanwhile weigh the juice and pulp and
grated peel; allow twice their weight of
sugar boil them together until the syrup
looks clear, taking care to skim off any
scum that rises; put this in a cool place
until the oranges have been in the water
the required time; then cut the oranges
into small pieces, drain them well, put
them into some fresh water, just enough
to cover them; add sugar in the proper
tiou of half pound to one pint of water /;
when they have boiled in this until they
are tender, add the pulp, etc. Let them
boil then for ten minutes, after which
they are ready to be put away in cans.
Instead of cutting the oranges into small
pieces, you may chop them very fine.

After the land is prepared, and the
plants big enough to set out, then watch
for rainy and cloudy weather. but if the
plants get too big and tough then water
ing must be resorted to. In this climate
where we have such long growing sea-
sons the Watering can quite often be
avoided by making plenty OF seed-beds
at different times, and is also good
guard against the. dangers Of eut-worms
which often destroy the beds. When
the weather is favorable go to work with
all the help at your disposal; but do ev-
erything in proper order. The seed-bed
should be, thoroughly wetted so the roots
will not be hurt while pulling up the
plants.a The largest plants ought to be
taken out first, and only enough for i'm
mediate planting. AS soon as taken up
put in a basket. The quickest way to
set out is to have small boy go ahead
dropping the plants on the ridges, Is to
20 inches apart, at the same time scrap
ing off about two inches from the ridge
with the foot where the plant should be
set. One boy can drop as fast as two
men can set. They are generally insert
ed about the same depth they stood in
the bed in a hole made with sharp
stick, taking care to close the dirt well
about the bottom of the root, also being
careful that the roots are not bent up.
If the weather has been cloudy at the
time of transplanting, and hot weather
sets in the next or second day, then
the plants must be covered. Covering
is generally done with a little bunch of
moss. 1t is best to keep covered during
the day and uncover at night. They
will generally pilt during the day, but if
they look well in the morning they will
do WELL If transplanting must be done
by watering, then set out in the evening
and water, and cover in the morning
and uncover in the evening again.
Plants set out from the middle OF April
to the LIST of May don't often have to be
protected. Missing places should be
reset as soon as possible to insure a full
stand. In fact the field should be gone
over at least once week, in the even
ing on morning, to kill out the cutworms,
Which some years are bad on old land.
After the plants have taken root we'll
and show growing disposition, COM
mence to work the soil. 1t is not neces-
sary to advise the best implements !:
whether it is garden hoe, spade, double
shovel pillow or cultivator, the grower
must use his own judgment according to
the seasons. Experience is the best
teacher. One thing is sure, the field
must be kept clean from grass and
weeds. Don't pillow or hoe when the
ground is too wet. On our soil the more
work it gets the better. 1t insures a
better body in the leaf and larger yield.
It has been the great misfortune amongst
the growers here, especially on new
land, not keeping the soil worked
enough. Through that neglect the leaf
grows too thin and chaffy (the .Cuba), a
great bulk and no weight. At first hoe
level, and afterward work the soil to the
plant. -Floridian.
