any special consideration, but the prep

soil dry, not OILY on the surface, but rs
deep IA the soil was previously ploughed,
or deeper. To plough this dry soil in
August requires fresh team and fresh
plow point, sometimes every day or
oftener. Some of our best farmers put
three horses abreast to a sulky plow; so
arranged that on the hard spots the
whole weight of the driver eau be brought
to bear on the beam Of the plow, and thus
hold it to its work, while on the sandy
portions the weight is thrown on the
wheels. Ihave seen admirable work done

reduced to powder. If there are still
clods and live thistle roots below, the
land must be ploughe6 again, either with
a gang plow or ordinary plow. We have
no better implement for this purpose
than good gang plow making three
narrow fur-ows at once; and throwing up

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury-Old Time
Methods.

How the Indian Treats an Injury-Old Time
Methods.
The savage is emphatically the child of
nature. He lives close TO nature, his only
education is gained in natures school.
When the Indian receives an injury, he
does not seek a cure in mineral poisons,
but binds on the simple leaf, administers
the herbal tea, and, with natures aid,
comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but com
Portable Log Cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods, which in time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found in roots and herbs that lay
close at hand natures potent remedies for
all their common ailments. It was only
in very serious cases they sent for old
SADDLE. bags" with his physic, which quite
es often killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too
far away from nature, in every way, for
its own good. Our grandfethers and
grepdmothers lived wholesomer, purer +,
better, healthier, more natural lives than
we do. Their minds we're not filed with
noxious isms, nor their bodies saturated
with poisonous drugs.
Ii it not time to make n change, to re-
turn to the simple vegetable preparations
of our grandmothers, which contained
the power and potency of nature as rem
edial agents, and in all the ordinary all
ments were effiicacious, at least harmlessf
The proprietors of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies have thought SO, and haze put
on the market number of these pure
vegetable preparations, made from form
ulas secured after patient searching into
the annals of the past, so that those who
want them need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies will
be found LOG Cabin sarsaparilla," for
the blood; Log Cabin hops and buchu

"Log Cabin cough and consumption
remedy" "Log Cabin hair tonic," for
strengthening and renewing the hair;
LOG Cabin extract" for both external
and internal application; LOG Cabin

Old but effective remedy for catarrh, and
"Log Cabin plasters." All these rem

October Forum.

VNNVNtT
The acs of dying, 1t is now ascertained,
IS absolutely free from suffering; is real
ly unconscious, insensibiiity always pre-
ceding it. Any anguish chat may attend
mortal illness ceases before The close, as
thousands who have recovered, after hope
had been surrendered, have borne witness.
Sudden and violent death, shocking to
the senses, may not be, probably is not,
painful to the victim. Drowning, hang
ing, freezing, shooting, falling from a
height, poisoning of many kinds, beget
stupor or numbness of the nerves, which
is Incompatible With sensation. Persons
who have met with such accidents, and
survived them, testify 10 this. Records
TO the effect are numbsrless.
