VALUE OF ROOT CROPS.

The director of the Massachusetts
agricultural experimental station says
in his annual report: Tho Importance
quite generally conceded to the intro
duction of IL liberal cultivation of root
crops in Il mixed farm management,
wherever n deep soil and the general
character of the climate favors their
normal development, rests mainly on
the following considerations: They furn.
ish, if properly manurcd and cultivated,
an exceptionally large quantity of valu-
fowls too much Mt q time, and thii
causes them 10 stuff themselves so rs tc
injure their crops if fed dampened meal
A little whole grain scattered among
straw will make poultry scratch fol
what they can get and conduce to thcii
healthfulncss.

Gov. Hubbard has received the semi.
annual report of the commissioners Of
the insane hospitals, Messrs. w. H.
Leonard and G. II. Boardman. The
report shows 618 patients under treat
ment at Rochester, 304 males and 314
females. From April to Sept. so in
elusive there were admitted l08, ofwhom
40 were males. During the same period
Al were discharged, 81 males and IA fe-
males. There were 10 deaths during
these months, five men and Is women.
No death occurred between July Is and
the date of visit, Oct. 8. Abouttwenty
patients eloped, but most Of them were
returned, and the remainder, 1T the re-
quest Of friends, were discharged.
Nineteen men and 25 women were
absent on parol at the time Of visit.
From so to 70 per cent of the whole
number Of patients are engaged in some
form of labor. IT is believed that still
larger number might be adyantageously
employed at labor. The general order
of the hospital in its various depart
ments, and its hygienic conditions are
excellent and creditable to the superil-
tendent and staff. 1t is suggested that
the coming legislature provide tor the
necessary alterations and repairs in the
old or central building, which are ne
cessary as y protection against fire.
The detached ward now being con-.
structed will be completed Sept. l, 1887,
which will accommodate 200 patients.
On the 9TH inst. the commission visited
the hospital st St. Peter. At that time
$50 patients were under treatment OF
these $50 We're men and 500 women.
From April to September inclusive, lis
men and SO women We're admitted
There were 103 patients discharged
during that time, 60 men and 43 females.
and 80 deaths were reported, 20 men
and ten women. There were 80 elope-
ments, but about all were returned. It
was necessary TO display restraint al
most constantly in the case of four men
and three women. The general coudi.
ton of the hospital was found to be
good. The commissioners find occasion
to condemn the laxity in committing
prisoners, and suggest the exercise Of q
larger authority on the part Of the
courts.

Mart. Gary's Neglected Grave.
Greeurille News.

While visiting friends of Abbevillc

ing town Of Greenwood, and the spot
where the people once gathered I" wnr-
ship from miles around is now giren up
to the care Of birds by day and The
nighthawks by night.
This want Of care for the sacred spot
is certainly a reflection OIL the citizens Of
the community, but when we know that
the remains of some Of the coun.ry'S
best citizens and States nobleSt sons
rest there, and it is more than a ~rctlec-
ton. 1t should cause kindred and
friends to hang their heads in shame for
this gross neglect Of the remxins OF de-
parted friends and relatives, Tor is it not

extent the memories are cherished Ivy

ishcd at all, should they not prompt the
citizens to gather at least once each year
and clear away the undcrbrush that is
fast becoming trees, and the briars that
are striving to take possession of the
burial ground?
I nm told, Mr.. Editor, that the xelnains

What Chewing Gum Does.

In the thousand and one shops
~sPr!n&led through the narrow streets of
this city. where youngsters buy lolli-
pops. where hoyS invest their savings in
hascbalIs and cigarettes at a penny
apiece, and where the young ladies of
the t%enementS purchase the latest vel
Joy bound literature, there is always for
sale a subs ance known as a black chew
ing gum. Whether it is done up in a
:spnngled tinfoil. or resplendcnt in gaudy
tissue paper, or decorated with parti-
.colored ribbon. it is still black chewing
gun. it. is made generally out of refuse
gum arabic--stuF that cannot be used
in the %apothccary shops, and is favored
,yariously with the cheapest of cheap ex-
tracts, l%icorice. wintersreen, peppermint
or, more usually, one Of the poisonous
.favorings that are compounded from
acids. The manufacturers cut a huge
slash of the gum into quadrangular
pieces about the size of a domino. In
weather the bits are friable and break
easily; when it is warm they have
the consistency Of a piece of India rub
her.
Il is surprising how much Of this
black chewing gum is used. a little
girl gets hold OF a penny somehow. and
she cannot get to a shop quick enough
TO buy some Of it. her jaws working as
regularly and vigorously as those Of a
44th Of July orator. If she has a bosom
friend, she may bite off a bit Of gum and
set the other girl to chewing. If she
wishes to show particular favor to her
5.yoaf-ol i sweetheart. she gives him a

1t isn't. The physicians Of Amster-
dam, n. Y, have just declared in solemn
conclave that the practice Of chewing
this black gum is most harmful and per-
n%icious. They have traced to it innum-
,rablc cases Of sore throat that they have
treated of late. Their brethren of the
medical profession in New York agree
with them, and not only condemn black
chewing gum, but all chewing gum o!
whatever color.
The physician who has charge of the
throat dispcrsary in II Of the largest
hospitals in New York said "Day after
day patients, nearly all girls between 3
and Is years Of age, come in here and
complain that it hurts them when they
swallow. or else that their mouths sting
when they drink anything warm. On
examining their threats | find the deli
cate nIucuous membrane marked hcrr
md there with little innamcd patches.
In nine cases out Of ten it is caused from
chewing gum

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; TO know
that no poisonous, putrid matter denies the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery Of
smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object Of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
in curing, safe, economical and neverfailing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bot
tie of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER, all
wrapped in one package, with treatise and direc-
tions and sold by all druggists for $1.00.
