Running a Locomotive while deathIy sick
Something the passengers did not know
a physician saves an engineer.
TAUNTON MASS
Dear Sir: I am an engineer on the Old Colony
Railroad. and run the Fall River boat train be
tween Fall River and Lowell residing in Taunton
For years 1 suffered everything but death from
dyspepsia. Often l had such binding sick head
aches that could scarcely see L think this was
due partly to irregular habits of eating and partly
to the jar of the engine. Sometimes my head
woaId snap like neuralgia, and again the pain
as mans fists Ny breath was very Offensive
and my food soured on as it entered my
stomach. In fact my stomach felt though il
were a great raw and sore surface, and what agony
it gave perhaps you can imagine.
In the simmer and fall of 1876 when he had the
heavy centennial travel the constant jar brought
accute attacks nearly every wesk and thought
l should have to leave the road. But / kept at
work until the next spring when grew so much
cluded that my labor, and my life too were about
over.
Remember that 1 had tried every medicine /
heard Of and had been treated by some of the best
physicians in Taunton and Lowell AT this ortiz
C a stime was recommended to me. 1t was new
10 me, and with my experience of medicines, You
can easily forgive me for saying that had not a
particle of faith in it.
l had taken il but a few days when i began to
get better. The raw and sore feeling left my
stomach AID the swapping pail left my head. and
soon was all right, and have been ever since. 1t
is the only thing that did me the least good.
and 1t drove every ache, pain and discomfort som
pletely out of my body Now keep Kenedys Fa-
vorite Remedy with me on my engine, and it goeS
wherever l 90.
Why. believe FavOrite Remedy will cure any
thing. One night. a while ago, John Layton an
engineer who runs the main line boat train from
Boston, came on my engine sick death He was
worn out with work, had a high fever, and was so
nervous he aim st broke down crying. Nonsense.
John, | said cheer up, I'VE got something on my
engine that will set you up in jiffy." took out
my bottle of Favorite Remedy, lifted his head and
gave him a good dose. He went to bed. Two
days after l saw him looking healthy a butcher.

Care of Hyacinths After Blooming.

As hyacinths are quite expensive, it
is very desirable to insure their bloom
ing as many successive years rs posi-
bile. 1t is generally conceded that
when grown in glasses they bloom but
once rs in that case they live upon
themselves and derive their nutriment
from the bulb kept in health by the
water, and so become exhausted. But
have heard of instances where they
have been recuperated by being plant
ed out of doors, and bloomed IL second
time.
A common method used in ported
hyacinths is to cut down the stalk
when the flowers fade, and let the
leaves dry, and then remove the bulbs
and put them away for another season.
But a better way suggested by an En-
glish writer concerning the method
adopted by the Dutch growers, has
been successfully tried. This writer
says "The moment the flowers begin
to decay, remove them from the earth
and plant them in good, rich compost,
consisting of three parts of good, de-
cayed turf and one each of well-rOtted
cow-dung and sand. Let the flowers
and leaves die off before taking up the
bulbs; and do not, on any account, cut
them off when green, as this greatly
impcveriShes the bulb"
a suggestion given by another who
has had good success, is to keep the
plants growing us long as possible, by
watering regularly, claiming that the
longer the foliage grows, the stronger
and healthier the bulbs will be for next
years blooming. After the foliage
turns yellow and dies down, cease
watering, and let the earth get dry.
Then set the pots away in an airy
place in the cellar, and leave them um-
disturbed, being careful to protect
from mice. Let the bulbs rest thus till
time to replant for fall or winter bloom.
This course has been pursued year
after year with perfect success. This
keeping them warm and in the light
and well watered as long rs they re-
tain their greenness, and then in dry
earth, till wanted again, is the secret.

CTATE OF VERMONT, CALEDONIA DISTRICT, IS

1t is ordered by said Court that all persons n

rate of 27S bushels to the acre of medi-
sized and ,irregularly- shaped tu-
bers. Twenty three per cent. by
weight of the crop was small.
Row No. 3. This row was planted
with the cluster of eyes on the seed
end or apex Of the potato. The size of
the piece planted in each hill was equal
to those planted in rows Nos. l and 2.
The yield was at the rate of 296 bush
els to the acre, while twenty per cent.
by weight was small. The tubers in
this row were quite large, handsome,
uniform and true to the type.
Contrary to my expectations the
seed cut from the middle of the potato
gave tnbers irregular in shape and of
only moderate size, while the seed cut
from the base of the potato, from which
| expected the largest tubers, gave
only moderate sized specimens, yet
uniform in shape. The piece where l
had planted the cluster of eyes of the
seed end of the potato, where | ex-
pected lot of small tubers and irreg-
ular in shape, gave me the largest and
handsOmest results, and also the truest
to type.
1t is true that one years experiment
does not prove any certainty of method,
nor does it establish that which can
only be proven by Il series of expert
ments extending over number OF
years. Thus, planting small or large
tubers will not establish any important
fact in one years cultivation, yet as
sists and rides over misfOrtunes and
droughts and accidents, and it is only
by persistently following up after its
kind, through a series of years or gen.
eratiOns, with the new type or variety
in the vegetable kingdom, or new
breed among the lower animals, or
even different race in the human fam
lily can be permanently established
without liability of reverting back to
the original type.
All can say at present concerning
the planting of seed from large or
small potatoes is that l believe in
planting we'll developed seed, that
which contains within itself the prin
ciples of health, strength, vigOr and
vitality stored up in sufficient quantity
TO literally feed the young plant uutil
it can get its nOurishment from we'll
prepared soil. Then, with proper care
and culture, the other conditions being
equal, nature will do her part in pros
pering the intelligent and painstaking
cultivatOr.-[G Geo. Bachelor, Province

him to draw, but ne would not
