Early in November, 1881, while sewing on
The machine. my wife was taken with Il
severe pain in her side, which was soon fo.-
lowed by hcmorrhaSes from her lungs and a
severe cough. Fever commenced, she could
neither cat or sleep, and in few weeks she
WAS reduced to living skeleton. The at
tending physician told me that he thought
one OF her lungs W. entirely gone. She
could not retain IT. most delicate nonriSh-
ment on her stomach. | then agree with Df.
Sullivan, my family physician, TO Call DR..
Holloway in consultation. They made
final examination Gf the patient and pro-
nounced the case hopeless. Dr.. Holland
then suggested the Brewers Lung Rcstorer
as q last resort, sent for bottle and gave
her 4 dose found that she could retain it
on her stomach and after about the third
dose, began 10 notice some improvement
in her condition. l continued the medicine
regularly and by the time she had taken TWO
bottles, she was able to walk about the

PROFIT IN PIG FEEDING.

Something more than mere stuff
iny with food is required, if rearing
and fattening of pigs is to be made
desirable. Food and labor IS be
coming more costly every year, and
to make this important industry
profitable, there must be correspon-
ding reduction in losses, to be Sc
cured by more economic surround
ings, and making a little Of the
more expensive food go as far as
possible in making flesh. The first
requisite is comfort, as without this
no animal will thrive we'll. Let 1t
be we'll understood, that cold and
filth are destructive to success. Ar,
engagements to save labor are OF in
creasing importance as above noted.
AS to food, one kind only OF con-
centrated diet, without change, will
break down any young pigs stom'
ach, and produce feyerish state in
an older one; it is unnatural for an
animal naturally constituted to eat
everything. Concentrated rich food
needs q combination with coarser
kinds, to render it less compact and
allow more ready penetration OF
the gastric juices. How can healthy
action be maintained, if the intes
tines of the animal contain only a
mass offermenting, purifying stuff?
never had autumn dropped pigs
grow so fast, or slow so healthy o
condition as two lots of different
breeds fed this winter on buckwheat
bran. They are in warm pig
house, where it seldom freezes; the
eourser part of the -four left on the
hulls supplies food for the stomach,
and the hulls keep the intestines in
a healthy condition. Few farmers
think of this latter point, and con
fine their pigs 10 clear corn meab
the most heating and unhealtbful
of all the cereals. Com is the great
staple food for hogs, and will con-
tinue to be, but it should be utilized
to the best advantage by judicous
combination with coarser food, for
swine as wei! as for men, and for
breeding as we'll as growing and
fattening animals. \ feed once a
day to fattening hogs of carrots or
beets, increases the appetite, gives
tone to the stomach, and has a cool
ing effect upon it. More roots, or
other cheap succulent food is requir-
ed.-American AWiculterist.

A Texas postmaster boasts OF be
ing a verteran of three wars, but
his boasting is no evidence of his
bravery. We have a quiet little
man up here who has been married
seven times, and he never mentions
it unless questioned on the subject.
This is genuine heroism.

the committee on cancellation reported
that warrants paid by the city from Feb. / TO
Nov. g, 1884, have been cancelled.
The regular monthly budget of bills, ap-
proved by the committee ON claims, was
ordered paid.
The mayor remarked that IL would be
proper for the reporters to state to the public
that the mem ers of the water board were
not to blame for the unfortunate condition
of affairs concerning the roof at the East
side pumping station. The city he consid-
cred had been swindled out OF 50. 600, either
because of fraud or because of defective
plans. The board had supposed that the
pans were all right. The Herzog Manufac-
turing company bad built the roof in accord d.
ance with the plans. and it is going to cost
81, 200 to strengthen the roof so as to be in
good condition. 1t is certainly apparent
that the plans did not call for sufficient iron
to insure a strong, durable roof.
The superintendent was instructed 10 no
tify the Union Railway company that the re-
tanning wall which is being built along the
