Raising Radishes.

The following is my method of
raising radishes, and which find to
be the best way. l know that most
of my neighbors have much difficulty
in getting good radishes, and former
ly also did; they were tough, stringy
and wormy, utterly unfit to eat.
Now l never fail to get them sound
and crisp. Radishes require to be
grown quickly in order to have them
tender. | select piece of ground in
corner of the garden for this crop,
and keep it specially for that pur-
pose. | use unleached wood ashes,
putting them on the ground two or
three inches in depth, and dig them
we'll under to thoroughly mix them
with the soil, which is sandy; when it
is thoroughly worked l SOW the seed,
first making rows with the back of a
rake, from sixteen to eighteen inches
apart. After sowing, the seed is COW
cred with teeth of the rake. l add
ashes to the bed every year, and find
that it keeps them free from worms.
No manure is required; splendid rad
ishes are raised in this way. l never
knew this process of raising radishe:
to be recommended, and you are al
liberty to publish TT G., in
Vick'S Magazine.
To the above let us add that the
soil should be of a sandy loan charac
ter. your garden is clayey soil, in
corporate few barrow loads of sane
in the spot devoted to radishes, anC
you will be amply repaid for your
trouble. Oranqe Co. Farmer.

Neither mental nor nhvsical labo

Neither mental nor physical labor
can be accomplished satisfactorily un>
less the system is in order. When
you feel tired, languid, wearied with
out exertion, the mind slow to act,
and requiring great mental effort, you
can rest assured that your liver is not
acting properly, and that nature re
quires assistance to help throw off i'm,
purities. There is no remedy that
will accomplish this so mildly and yet
efectually as PRlCKLY ASH BITTERs.
A trial will satisfy you as to its merits.

ting labors of love in behalf of the
poor of Columbus 1t will be re.
membered that the Swift Specific Co.
has donated quite an amount of their
famous medicine, to be distributed
by Mr.. Campbell among the poor of
the city, hence his remark. He said:
81 have just seen a lady who has
been greatly annoyed by letter in
one of her hands. 1t had given her
much trouble aud pain. She said she
had been treated by several physicians
during the past three or four years
with the old remedies, but without
giving any relief. | suggested Swift's
Specific, and she took four bottles,
and is now apparently well. Her
hand is smooth and not single sign
of the disease is left. it is marvellous
how this medicine renovates the sys,
tem."
"What about the other case?"
"Well, that was a lady also. She
had been badly affected with eczema
for four years. Her face, hands and
arms, as well as her body, were COW
cred with sores and scabs. 1t was
one of the worst cases of this terri
BILE disease that l have ever seen.
The suffering of this poor creature
was beyond expression. She tried
every remedy at hand, including mer,
curry and iodide of potash, but she
only grew worse. She was in this
condition when l first saw the case
soon had her taking Swlft's Specific
and she has now taken only two bot
ties, but every mark of the disease
has now almost entirely disappeared
Her general health has greatly i'm
proved. 1t is one of the most re-
markable cures that have evel
come under my notice, and in a min
istry of sixty years | have mingled
with every class of society and oh
served closely the variety of diseases
which affect humanity. Blood dis
eases are the most numerous and TIN
most difficult to remove. To over
come these diseases, it is my deliber
ate judgment that Swift's Specific il
the grandest blood purifier ever dis
covered. It's effects are wonderful
and | consider them almost miracu
lous. There is no medicine compare
BILE to it.

FACTS AND FIGURES,
Editor Erchanqe;

Editor Exchange:
BY consulting the comptroller's re-
port for the last two years, ending De.
cember 10, 1884, the taxpayers Of the
state may see what it costs them to
pay the salaries of our Judges for two
years. For the two years ending De-
cember 19, 1884, there was paid out
by our treasurer, to our judges, 1874, :
432.47. The amount can be lessened
it our present legislature will do their
duty, Some Of the special courts
might be dispensed with, and our ju-
dicial circuits so enlarged as to give
more work to our judges. 1t is said
that from half to two>thirds of their
time is now given to their work, butfull
pay is received by them all the same.
The subject of re-districting the state
is now in the hands of committee
appointed by our present legislature.
Let the committee appointed dis
charge their full duty to the taxpay-
ers of the state by lessening the num-
Der of circuits in the state, and
special courts where it is practica.
bic and save to the taxpayer of the
state, annually, thousands of dollars.
The interest of the people demands il
at the hands of our present legisla'
ture. This is fight, if fight at all
between a few Office holders and the
taxing interest of the. state of Tenues

A Young Fox Story.

Two young foxes which have attracted so much notice in one of the show windows on Main street recalled yesterday an interesting fox story by Hartford journalist, MT. A. s. Hotchkiss. While living at his home in Middletown years ago, MT. Hotchkiss was presented with young fox by an uncle of his residing in East Haven. He took the animal home and treated him with great kindness, making delightful pet of him. He was called Jack and learned to fol- low his master as obediently 8 dog. MT. Hotchkiss was the envy of his boy companions through the summer. While the fox would play with them he always refused to follow them, going only with his master. A collar was made for the pet and at night he was kept chained. One Sunday at the
 edge of winter while MT. Hotchkiss at
 church one of the boys in the neighborhood
 wanted to show the pet to a friend and un- chained him. There was a light snow on the ground at the time, which seemed to awaken all the fox nature in the animal, and he struggled to get loose from the boys, suc- ceeding at last in doing so. When Mr. Hotchkiss came home he found the pet hid ing under the ell of the house and in spite of all the allurements offered in getting him out he consistently remained in his hiding place. At night he escaped and visited a
 neighbours barn, making disastrous havoc with the fowls. It was couple of months
 before he was heard of after that, and then it was found that he had been killed in East
 Haven It was several months after he had
 been taken from the place, not over five o1 six weeks old, that he made his way back almost to the very locality where he had been captured at first. It was 8 curious in
 stinct of the animal taking him back there
 He had the collar on when he was killed which led to his identifcation.-Hart Post
