A few lines from this part of the

many readers, Crops are very sorry
throughout this part Of the parish,
owing to the excessive rains. Logmen
are rather backward hauling this sea

quitting the business, and turning their
attention to farming, which is right

pine lands with a little fertilizing can
be made to produce equally as well as
our prairie lands.
BY the way. how is the farmer Of
Calcasiep to educate his children with
our present school system, which
"Tacitus" finds so much 1T fault /?

A skIlEuL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con-
sisted in the removal Of a portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly One.third of the organ-and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is a peculiar indies
cribable distress in the stomach, feel.
ing that has been described as n faint
"aN gone" sensation; a sticky slime col
lects about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears TO aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa.
ticnt becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, mis- mind filled with evil fore
bodings. When rising suddenly from
recumbent position there is dizziness,
a whistling sensation, and he is Obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling, The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom.
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmented con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the TASTE
Oftcntimes there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever as the opening in the intes.
tines becomes closed, or nearly SO. AL
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, q disease easily removed If
treated in proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigcl's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-.
paration sold by all chemists and medi.
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietors, A. j. White Nimit,
ed), II, Farringdon-road, London, e. G.
This Syrup strikes at the very founda'
ton of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.

sceptical, having tried 80 many reputed
infallible remedies, / determined to give
II at least fair trial. In two or three
days felt considerably better, and now
at the end of twelve months (having
continued taking iO l am glad 10 say
that am different being altogether.
1t is said of certain pens that they "come
as boon and blessing TO men" and
have no reason to doubt the truthfulness
of the statement. l can truly say, how
ever, that Seigels Syrup has come as a
"boon and blessing" to me. l have re.
commended IL to several fellow-sufferers
from this distressing complaint, and
their testimony is quite in accordance
with my own. Gratitude for the benefit
have derived from the excellent pre-.
paration, prompts me to furnish you
with this unsolicited testimonial.

oniy Fractions of Lives.

How many persons live only fraction
of average human life because they neg.
lect to take the commonest precautions
against sickness. 1t is disease in its
maturity that kills, and maturity implies
growth. A slight indisposition is usuaf-
ly sighted. They who avail themselves
of Hostetters Stomach Bitters know it
to be etficacious in chronic cases of dis
ease, but the process of cure is far
easier one if it is used in early stages OF
dyspepsia, malarial disease, rheumatism,
constipation and liver arrangement.
Let those who would avoid the peril
which even the most potent remedies
cannot avert, steer clear of the rock upon
which so many constitutions split--an
underNappreciation of the danger OF
neglect. 1t will not do to omit care and
a recourse to medicine when health is
affected. If debilitated, or nervous, OIL
dyspeptic take it for granted you are in
want of a remedy, use the Bitteys.

FARMERS COLUMN.
Multiplication Of Breeds of Poultry.

With our domestic animals, as with
wine and cheese, the value of a breed
depends in some measure upon its age.
If breeders realized this, there would be
less running after the so-called breeds
which spring up every year or two. At
the time the Leghorns were first brought
to this country, they were most un-
promising lot, as we remember them,
but they had elements of great value.
White seemed to predomiuate, and the
single-combed white fowls, were separ-
ated from the others and carefully bred.
1t was several years before fixed breed
was established, even with this excellent
foundation. The foundation was good,
because all the birds had the same
general characteristics, which were
peculiar and valuable, such as were
possessed by none of the then existing
favorite breeds. So when the Leghorns
were introduced, with the uniform
points of a fancier's fowl, they became
at once great fayorites and had deserved
success. Then this excellent and unique
breed, was made to carry forward with
it, towards popularity, a number Of
allied breeds, all decidedly inferior to il
Browns, Blacks, Dominiques, etc.
and now it seems the breed, which pro.
perly affiliates with the Spanish, is to be
Hamburgized and given rose comb
and for aught we know blue legs. 1t is
true that irregular rose combs occasion.
ally appeared in the original stock; but
they were regarded as abnormal. Now
it is really absurd to introduce them fol
no merit, but simply to add another
breed, or three or four breeds perhaps
to our already too long list of the Leg
horn family. Some time ago cross
was made, which had Dominique plum
age with large size, hardness, small
bone, yellow skin, quick growth, anC
the characteristics of q good genera
purpose fowl, This is the Plymouth
Rock variety. 1t was not breed, bu
a cross. However, after years of breed
ing to fixed standard, it now is perhaps
worthy of being received as an establish
ed breed. But it is still shaky. Lef
alone few years, it would revert NOR
or less; and in the best regulated
families, black fowls are constantly put
ting in an appearance.
AS if one such breed were not enough
another has been introduced, with n
merit, that We are aware of, that tn
Plymouths have not. 1t is a speckled
mongrel-looking breed in the yard
though magnificent in the pictures: an
yet the whole world of American pou
try people, seem to be going daft over il
probably because it is so well advertised
1t is pretty near crime to admit thes
mongrel breeds, if they may be so called
to "the Standard" and give them til
approval of the united poultry breeder
of this country. We have now breed
enough, unless somebody will get up
breed of fowls that will lay buff egg
and will not sit That would be bot
novel and useful. 1t would be bette
for poultry fanciers to try to improN
the breeds we now have, and to learn |
experimenting how to best use thel
in crosses.-Am. AgricultuiSt.
