CONSUM MpTION.

The earlier symptoms Of this disease are
a sense of weariness upon little exertiOn, a
disposition TO remain passive and idle PEE
culiar sensitiveness to the effects OF cold
and shortness OF breath upon moving
quickly or ascending hill or stairs, slight
hacking cough, with or without expectora-
ton, flying pains throughout the chest or
back, or under the shoulder blades. The
symptoms are worse towards or during the
night slight fever In the afternoon, cold
feet and hands, and In many cases blue liv-
idity Of the lips and roots Of the finger nails.
The more advanced symptoms are wasting
Of flesh, diarrh9a, chills and fever night
sweats, expectoraiions Of yellow pus from
the ulcers or cavities in the lungs, with or
without a depression of the chest, increasing
weakness and at last closing up OF the air

OF practice few years ago, thousands of
cases have been completely cured, where
utter failure to combat the eviis OF the dis
ease would have continued up to the pres
ent time. Tho system Of Medicated Inhala-

Europe and Ameriea. BY this means
we are enabled to dissolve the hard

the cough, facilitate expectoration

all hope OF cure by the ordinary method is
past Persons desiring treatment by this
system Of practice can use the remedy at
home as well as at our ofnce, and which

Step hens stated, as showing the risk to
the stockholders under the plan Of the
Union OF purchasing and shipping fruit,
that the obligations OF the Union would
thus amouat from 1920, 900 to $500, 900
per month during the busy shipment
season, and that in case OF loss each
stakeholder would be liable to suoh
per cent Of the debts and liabilities as

take legal advice and report TO the con.
vention this afternoon. The opinion OF
counsel. as submitted by the COMMITTEES
upon reassembliDg at 2:30 P. NJ. sus-
tanned the above position, and strength
ened the judgment Of the fruit growers
as to the necessity Of so amending the

Sewing Grass Seed i'll Autumn.
New England Farmer.


a new subscriber in Worcester asks
if the statement recently published IN
the columns of one of our city contempt
raries, to the effect that timothy grass
Is the only variety that should be soWn IN
the fall, is statement that should have
weight with Massachusetts farmers. In
reply we would say that all the grasses
known to New England agriculture may
be successfully sown in the fall if sown
early enough. The term "fall." used in
relation to seeding grass should include
the period from the ripened seed of the
earliest grasses that ripen and shed theil
seed in July. Among these are orchard
grass, blue grass and sweet scented vernal
grass. There are no better time IN the
wear for sowing these grasses than late
July or early August. Timothy and red
top are little later, but it is not too late
to SOW these grasses at the time they
naturally drop their seeds-August and
September. At this writing September
goth, we have both timothy and redtop
growing in the Borders of our garden
from seed that was self-sown IN July, and
if left undisturbed one is as sure to live
over winter as the other. Each will make
vigorous growth and will have long
fbrous roots that will fill the soil, while
the leaf growth will be sufficient to keep
the surface shaded and to afford some pro-
lection to the crowns of plants. Timothy
is coarser than redtop and makes more
show when young. Some persons are
such careless observers as to believe that
redtop never makes any growth the year
the seed is sown but comes IN" the Sec
ond year. If they would look closely
they would find redtop coming up as
promptly as any other grass, and though
the growth is fine the first year, and 1t
seldom makes heavy growth under the
difficulties it has to contend with, yet 1t
does grow nevertheless. Whoever in this
climate sows grass of any kind after the
beginning of October must take the
chances of it's being destroyed before
growing weather in spring. The plants
may freeze to death under the fierce cold
winds of winter, or they may be thrown
out in the spring by the alternate freez-
ing and thawirg of the surface. In our
own latitude we should not hesitate to
SOW grass early in October with winter
rye to help protect it during winter and
early spring. But we would by all means
cut the rye for feeding so as to give the
grass q chance to get we'll established be-
fore the heat of summer. If the land
cannot be made ready for seeding TIL
quite late we would sooner have the grass
sown so late that it would not come UP
till in spring than to put it in just early
enough to have 1t sprOut and then die
The chief objection against seeding is the
danger that annual weeds will overshadoW
the grass if no grain is sown, that 1t Will
shade the grass and make it so tender
that when the grain is removed in
July the grass will be burned up by the
heat.

without clients, as most Of them should
be; but good lands are cheap and plenty.
Intelligent laborers on the farm are
scarce and better paid than any other
class. Farming has been accepted IS a
last resort for those unable to live by
their wits, or good enough for such as
we're considered incapable or Indifferent
to thorough culture. The mentally &C
tive boy has taken law or medical
course of lectures after completing his
education at the academy or college.
These avenues are now full to repletion,
they are in great need of thorough drain
age. Now that farmers begin to see
that they need more knowledge and bust
ness methods to attain any standing in
their own business, and to fill ereditably
such public stations as their numbers
and their occupations entitle them, let
them win back their sons from the shop
and office to their farms, where all their
intelligence can be more proftably en-
ployed. Let them send their sons to
the agricultural college instead of the
medical school: let them attend course
of lectures on botony and chemistry in
stead of law, and they may possibly do
something to make farming more at
tractive as well as profitable, and take
that station in life to which the poets
fancy has assigned him.
