Indigestion Cured !!

food on my stomach. The burning sensation
was almost intolerable. and my whole system
was deranged. was wakeful and could not
sleep, and consequently more Or less nervous

all the usual depression attendant upon thi 8
terrible disease. In word, l was miserable.
At last, failing to find relief in anything else,
commenced the use of Swift's Specific. / be-

up TIM stomach. strengthened the digestive
organs, and soon all that burning ceased, and
could retain food without difficulty. Now my
health is good, and can eat anything in the

Breaking for Corn

Contrary to the views Of those who ad-
yOcate the fall breaking of land for corn,
in order to have it pulverized by the frost
and for turning under and decomposing
the vegetable matter on the surface, a
writer in the Southern World has little
doubt that such early breaking is very
proper for the purposes intended: but in
our climate, instead of the freezing. we
often have heavy rains which counteract
or undo the work of freezing. These
rains, toe, most frequently occur about
planting time after the freezing weather
is past, so that he thinks, in a field Of
clean land plowed in the fall or early
winter, the soil will have become as COM
pacted by planting time as before break
ing. He advocates, therefore, the break
ing Of the land just before planting time
as rule, though a portion Of il must
needs be plowed at an earlier period to
avoid too much push during the planting
season. A good plan, 1t is added, is to
break Up the earlier plowed land into
ridges or narrow ''lands,' leaving a good
water furrOw between the beds to serve
as drains for surplus water. This is called
bedding the land, which enables planters
to make choice, according to the season,
whether they viii plant in the water fur
rows against a dry season or on the beds
for moist season. On this subject we
have before urged the Importance of Civ
ing the greatest possible advantage to the
/ young, not 10 the Old corn. The adyan-
! tage OF planting in the water furrOw is
1 done to secure the crop against drought,
+ for the young corn will not make near as
rapid growth IN the water burrows, where
there is little or no top soil, as on the beds
/ or ridges, where all the fertility and con-
/ sequent warmth OF the soil has been con-
/ centrated by the bedding. The cOmpari-
son between the two situations for young
corn is very marked. Not until late in
the season does the water furrOw corn
begin to show thrift and vigor, while that
/ on the beds springs forth at once in ali the
luXuriance permitted by the fertility ri
/ the land. Where, however, it has been
determined TO plant in the water furrows
they may be rendered much more suitable
than ordinarily by choosing a season when
the soil is comparatively dry and opening
them with a plow that will permit the top
soil to fan into the furrOw behind the
pillow; or the water burrows may be ''list-
ed by having two others thrown upon
them and reopened. This is the best,
though, OF course, more work, and if now
well manured viii approach to the ad-
Yantages of the heads, which are gradu-
ally thrown to the corn rs the season ad-
yances. This plan gains the advantage
If tho gga Tor flIrrOvvs in case of drOuCht
late in the season and approNimates that
Of the bed in giving the young corn a
good send of early in the season. The
difference in work is also compensated
for in the greater certainty of a crop, since
It is now prepared either fora dry or a
moist season.

1t is estimated that 100000 head of cat
tie, valued at $40 per head. or "a, OOO, 900 in
the aggregate, were lost during the past
winter from il!-feeling and want of shell
ter. This is considerable loss for the
country and shows how much neglect
there is among stock men alone. That
sum would have constructed rough shell
tiers for all the lost cattle and thousands
more, and when constructed would have
lasted for years to come, whereas they are
yet to be provided or the loss repeated
every winter until stockmen are awakened
to their interest. II would seem that the
desire even for the common cattle of the
South to be driven West to supply the de-
pletion on the prairies would have prompt
ed farmers to protect their cattle during
the winter In order tOreap the high prices
in the spring. But we have not yet learned
well how to tackle some Of the pennies,
though it must be admitted that we are
making some gain IN that direction. In
spite Of the demand beef has been abun-
dant and reasonably cheap, and we may
hope tc use it with more economy when
less abundant and higher priced.

Prof E. WOllny concludes that the deep
planting Of SEEDS and tubers is usually
untavOrabIe for their development. The
most suitable depth depends on the kind
of plant, on the nature Of the soil and on
the weather. The smaller tue seeds or
tubers, the less favorable the weather and
the more compact the soil, the more es-
sential is shallow sowing.
The marble trade of san Francisco is
worth 100000 annually, one-fourth Of
which sum has heretofore been paid to
the Carrara quarry Of Italy. With the
new San Francisco company operating in
the Alaska quarries the city hopes to pur-
chase hereafter its entire supply from its
own citizens, and at the same time to get
a marble of equal beauty as heretofore.
The 1exibillty of itacolumite-a re-
markable sandstone existing in Georgia
and North ana South CarOlina-seems to
be surpassed by that Of magnetism
limestone found at the entrance of the
Tyne, in England. This limestone is re-
ported to be so flexible that thin layers,
three feet or more in length, may be bent
into a circle while damp, retaining that
form on drying.
All ruminant h0ofed beasts have horns
and CIOven feet. If the hoofs are even the
horns are even; if odd, as in the rhinoce-
ros, the horns are odd, that is single or
two placed one behind the other. Recent
creatures with feathers always have
beaks. Pigeons with short beaks have
small feet, and those with long beaks
have large feet. The long limbs Of the
hound are associated with long head.
No two individuals have exactly the

hence supernumeraTy muscle or abnormal
blood vessel which tells the tale of his
descent. Scarcely one body is perfectly
normal in every part. Some have as
many as 30 or 40 variations in their tones,
muscles or arteries. Variations occur
more frequently IN negro and Indian sub
iects than in those of European descent.
The limits Of insects are determined by

and mountains. There is an insect fauna
for each continent, zone and latitude
The insects near the snow line on the
sides of mountains in the temperate re-
gIor are similar to those in polar lands.
The insects on our Pacific slope resemble !
those of Europe, while those near the
coast are more like those of
Asia. Not half a dozen insects live in
