Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fail.
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dschargng great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

Agricultural History.

Ben: Perley Poore, the veteran Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Journal, whose "fad" is agriculture
and who writes Interestingly upon many
things in connection with the farm,
says in recent article:
Agricultural history has thus far
been unwritten. The works of our
statesmen, the exploits of our soldiers,
the daring of our sailors, the learning
of our scholars, the career of our sue
cessful business men, have all been
duly chronicled by historians. Yet there
has never been any history of agricul-
ture, although it is recognized as the
basis of human prosperity"
Mr.. Poore's knowledge of agricul-
tural photography is not so large as it
ought to be if he has never heard of a
work on agricultural history by the au-
thor of " Talpa, or The Chronicles of a
Clay Farm" "Talpa" created quite a
sensation when it appeared Gin 1852,
and the American edition met with a
very extensive sale. The name of the
author isl given upon the title page in the
initials only &C. w. H. but previous
work from the same hand Gondon
1S49, Bradbury & Evans) bears his name
in full" Chandos Wren Hoskyns. ="
The title of this prior publication is,
GA Short Inquiry into The History of
Agriculture, in Ancient, Medieval,
and Modern Times" 1t is an octave
of one hundred sixty pages.

and Capital" Larned's "Talks about
Labor" and Henry Georges " Progress
and Poverty" The author of the last
named work is already becoming
power, not only as a writer but as
speaker. AT recent monster meeting
of hungry working-men, in front of the
Royal Exchange in London, this Amer
lean champion of the rights of labor
was most enthusiastically received. His
first utterance was to direct the atten-
ton of his hearers to the text carved
upon the facade of the exchange:
The earth is the Lords, and the
fulness thereof" eyes" exclaimed
Mr.. George, Gin England the earth is
the lords; it is all owned by the lords
of parlament-the landlords" 1t was
an apt and witty turn, and was received
with shouts as of great army. Truly,
only British cant and hypocrisy could
carve such a text upon the headquarters
of national robbery and greed.
Mr.. George is very eloquent and a
very radical writer, but in some partic-
ulars his views are open to very serious
criticism, and this has been admins
tered in small book written by Will
liam Hanson, and published (price 81
by the Fowler & Wells Co., 1853 Broad
way, n. Y, entitled "The Fallacies in
Progress and Poverty" Mr.. Hanson
is as radical as the land reformer him
self, in his views of the fundamental
changes necessary to true social prog
ress, and has warm sympathy for the
purposes of Mr.. George, but his sharp
logic brings into clear light the errors
that mar the reasoning of the book
above named, and shows how incon-
sistent and impracticable are the meth
DDS of reform advised therein. For in
stance, he analyses Mr.. Georges theory
of interest, and Law of Rent" and
also his remedy for landlordism, and
points out their unsoundness and injus-
can understand. The same vigorous
handling is marked in his consideration
of the work of Mr.. Henry Dunning
Macleod, Economics" a powerful
treatise in itself, but shown to be based
upon assumptions that are unscientific.
"The Ethics of Protection and Free
Trade " constitutes one essay, in which
the principles of the two great parties
that stand arrayed against each other
on the tariff question are reviewed in
the light of political responsibility, and
what constitutes true national progress.
The final essay, "The Industrial Prob
lem considered a priori," looks into the
essential merits of the subject that has
to some extent been considered in the
preceding essays; but this time the ar
gument is purely deductive, and i'm
partially points out wrong-doing and
mistakes on both sides-on the part of
the capitalist, and on the part of the
worker-and fearlessly admonishes both
with regard to their duty. The work is
written for the people, from the point
of view of the practical man and Chris
tan philosopher who is consciously
radical, but seeks to make his every
proposition for social reform based
upon justice, and responsive to the sim
pie demands of humanity.

IN TREATING of fertilizers, feeding
rations, and other scientific subjects
relating to agriculture, we have had &C.
casion repeatedly to quote the authority
of the eminent chemist of the Royal
Agricultural Society of England, Pro-
fessor Augustus Voelcker, whose death,
on the 9TH of December, we are sad to
record. DR.. Voelcker was an able and
voluminous writer on scientific SUBJ
jects, especially on those relating to
agricultural chemistry, to the knowl-
edge of which his careful investiga-
tons added much of value. No man of
science, indeed, has done more than he
to show the Importance of chemical
and physical research for the produc-
ton of perfectly healthful condition
of the plants which are the necessary
food of man and animals. His analyses
of all kinds of natural and artificial
manures have been specially useful to
farmers. His death will be widely re-
GREETED.

WATERING PLANTS. may be
watered at any hour of the day, except
when the sun is shining on the pot, or
has just left it; for the earth gets hot
when the sun shines on it, and then, if
cold water is poured on it, it will cool
off too rapidly. The best time for
watering flowers in summer is the
evening, and in winter noon is best.
Rain water or brook water is always
preferable to well water.
BEST AUTUMN-FLowER SHRUB
IF we had to name the best spring
blooming shrub, first choice among so
many beauties might be hard, but
among fall-bloomers the Hydrangea
paniculdta grandfora stands supreme
above all competitors, and, considering
its many excellent qualities, it seems
strange that it is still comparatively
rarely found in cultivation.

ERRoRs.-In our notice of " A Stan
dard Work" (Barry's Fruit Garden) in
the issue of January IA, the types make
us say some of these professions can
be carried on without the use of books
where we wrote "none." The price
of the book is $3.50, not $3.50, as
printed. And of the Longfeld apple
we wrote that it was of ercellent, not
" decent" quality. 1t is one of the
best of the Russians, and close rival of
the Wealthy, and will keep longer than
that variety, according to Professor
Budd of the Iowa agricultural college,
though Mr.. Sias seems not to agree
with him.

SOME EXCHANGES are recommending
the Buckthorn as a hedge plant. We
have nearly one thousand feet of buck
thorn hedge, fifteen years set. 1t is
hardy, and otherwise desirable, except
that its slender growth will not turn
heavy cattle, and is not safe against
COWS, or even calves, which will both
find places where they can push through.
Its " thorns are pretty much myth.
They are there, but are very slender,
and do not add anything to the fencing
power of the hedge.

invariably the case where those who

they do of stable manure for the same
