A STEAM PLow IN SPAIN.

Tho latest novelty in plows IS at
present beng used in Spain. 1t
works the ground to a depth of
thirty inches, and turns q furrow
two feet wide. 1t is drawn by two
sixteen horsepower engines. The
instrument is constructed on the
patent balance-plow principle, but
of very strange proportion. 1t is
a one-furrow, but fitted with two
knives, the first turning a turrow
sixteen inches wide and fourteen
inches deep, and the second follow
ing to depth of thirty inches and
turning over furrow twenty.four
inches wide, leaving the ground
completely loosened 10 depth of
two feet and six inches. Drawn
by the steam engines, the account
in foreign exchange says 1t is
possible with this pillow to turn
over four acres per day. In cases
where it is necessary to turn up
the land to this great depth, but
simply to stir up the under-soil, all
that is required is to take off the
last knife and in Its place fix sub
soil tyne, which will go to depth
OF from twenty-four to thirty ~

"If some of the mothers of this
city could hear the profanity and
swearing INDUCED in by their sons
while running on the streets al
night, they would be greatly shock
cd. and wonder where the boys
fell into such wicked habits. Well,
it is hard to tell. In the first place
then, mothers are IN a measure re-
sponsible for the conduct of then
boys by allowing them to run out
on the streets at night when they
should be at home. Then they get
in company of larger boys and
men who care little for the morals
and well being of our city, and
from these boys learn to roll out
big oaths calculated to make the
very hairs of ones hair stand on the
end. If the mothers of our city
will see TO it that their boys are
not out of their sight after dark
they may save themselves of much
sorrow and many bitter tears in
the hereafter.

Or with apparently no cause at all. chills and
fever, thought to be cured, germinates and
refructiies in the system. This giant among
diseases cannot be laid ont with quinine. The
only way to give it final and extinguishing
quietus, is to use persistently the national
antidote to miasma poison, Hosttetter's
Stomach Bitters, which roots it out COM
pletely. Tine process of cure is, of course,
much easier if the Bitters is used as pre-
ventive. when the first chill is felt, but per
sons who are not acquainted with the nature
of the symptoms are sometimes in error as
to their cause, and neglect the simple and
pleasant remedy, of all others best suited to
check the progress of this dreaded and de-
structive malndy. Visitors TO, or sojourners
in, laalarious localities will, moreover, act
the part of @isdom if they use the Bitters as
a preparative. rheumatism, constipation,
indigestion and kidney troubles
are removed by the Bitters.

Don't neglect small matters on
the farm. Reliable statistics show
that the eggs produced In the
United States last year were worth
more money than all the silver
produced by all the mines in the
country. The milk, butter and

crop in value. The wealth of ma
uons depends largely on what are
