Consumption and found immediate relief,

LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.
An Important Matter.

1t should not be forgotten that
Thursday, September 9th, is the last
day for the registration of voters.
Every person who intends to vote
should see that his name is on the reg
istry list, and the best way to attend
to the matter is to do it personally.
Young members of the party should
be particular to see that they have not
been missed. County Committeeman
and Vigilance Committees should look
up all Republicans and see that they
are registered. Do not neglect to at
tend TO this matter promptly.

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
Division of Work.

On a farm, as everywhere else,
work should be properly divided, so
that the weight of the burden should
be borne by no one person. There
must be some deviation from the
pan after it is made, but the endeav-
or should be to leave no work for
somebody. 1t SCENE to be every
wheae the case that some will per-
form no labor unless forced to do so,
while others are always looking for
work to do and performing the task
for others. In this way important
matters are neglected-some should
be workers are permitted to become
shirks, some are made drudges.
The several tasks to be done should
be daily assigned by father and
mother with the most perfect justice,
avoiding giving the disagreeable
task invariably to the child that has
no choice but obedience, and who
cherises in his heart, "When l am a
man III get out of this, l will go as
fur from farm as possible" On the
other hand as carefully refusing to
perform all disagreeable duties
personally to save the child.
1t is equally necessary to be just
in assigning work to hired help. 1t
should be generally understood that
the agreeable and the disagreeable
tasks are each to be Justly shared,
and the moment that is done trouble
is at an end. Each feels that it is
fair that he should performs his
share of those duties that he dislikes
doing, and each knows that tasks
agreeable to him are equally so to
others, and gladly divides his pleas
ures If there is to be anything like
an even division, let the shirks fare
the worst. Always making certain
that that it is not natural taste for
certain kind of work that cannot
be overcome, or an avoiding of
labor, because of health and strength.
Nowhere else is there greater need
of the pull all together" principle
than on the farm. Success is assured
only when the mutual interests and
responsibility is felt, and each takes
his share of the work, performing it
cheerfully.

Common salt is necessity for all
our domestic animals. 1t prevents
as well as remedies many disorders
of the digestive organs and in
young stock it prevents the accu-
mutation of worms in the intestinal
canal. When not used to free ac-
cess to common salt at all times
from colthood, horses are apt to
partake too freely of the same, and
the thirst thereby created causes
them to drink so freely of water as
to produce diarrhoea. Salt the ami
NAL must have, and we have always
advocated its continual presence
where they could have access to it
at all times, instead of mixing it
among their food, or giving it at
certain or uncertain intervals, and
perhaps in sufficient quantity. If
common salt in grain or powered
condition is partaken of too greed
lily, lump salt, or so called rock salt,
should be procured. A lump of
rock-salt should be in every manger
and box upon the farm. This the
master must continually see too
it is a screw that is continually flv-
ing from the hired mans inclina-
ton or memory. Some don't like
it some won't recollect. They will
object if you scatter salt upon damp
hay, should you be so unlucky as to
have been caught by the rain al
though they see their horses posi-
lively enjoy the apparently mouldy
hay which had been so doctored
and you would utterly fail if you
were to attempt to persuade them
that, for lick of salt the cattle will
gallop by water on the burning
wastes of Africa.
