Helplng the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only com mendable in a generalpoint of view, but is judicious and prudent when that help is enlisted, in behalf of the right side of the body just over the lower ribs in the region of the liver. The most efficient help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an anti-billious medicine of in- comparable efficacy. Inaction of the liver is accompanied by constipation, sick-headache, furred tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo, an unpleasant breath yellowness of the skin and ball of the eye. The author of these symptoms, liver complaint, routed by the Bitters is accompanied by them in it's flight Fever and ague, which always involves the liver, dyspepsia, rheumatism, debil- ity and kidney troubles are all maladies to the early relief and final cure of which this standard medicine IS adapted. Do not use it by fits and starts, but syste- matically, that it's full effects may result in perfect restoration of health.

WOman'S Relief.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal" whether arising from physi- cal, mental 0, moral sources. The prom ises and cancellations oi the gospel fur nish d unddnt remedies for all spiritual or menJol woes, and the Creator has stored. in tue kingdom of Nature, reme- dies for every physical a;lment. For ages these remedies were allowed to lie dormant, through the ignorance of man. kind as to their uses, and for ages more but little attention vas given to reme- dies for the peculiar afflictinns of woman, who was looked upon and treated as slave by lordly, and then brutal man, and her suffering regarded with beastly indifference. In later times, science and christian philantIrophy have come to her relief, devising remedies for her pe- culiar weaknesses, which have been combined in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scriptiOn, q remedy that cures the pains, aches, nausea. displacements, wasting and facilitating affiictions to which she is constantly exposed. "Favvrite Pre- seription" is the only medicine for Fla dies sold by druggists, under positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.

It becomes every prudent person who has registered and believes his name to be on the great register of the county to see that such is the fact, in order that there may be no mistake, for strange things some times happen on the eve of an election, so let those who feel inter- ested in the matter call at the office of the Recorder, or have some friend do so Ior them, and see that their names are properly registered before the great reg ister is put into the hands of the printer.

Planting Bananas in Florida.

The banana fiourishes best in a very
moist, rich soil, but will not endure
standing water about the roots. The
best possible location for banana
patch is on the bank slOping down to
lake or ..bayhead. The ''springy"
nature of the soil in such a location
agrees perfectly with the roots of the
banana, provided they are not planted
far enough down to reach standing
water. The preparation of the land
for bananas does not necessarily in
volve thorough grubbing of new land,
as on rich hummock or bayhead tracts,
the simple cutting of the trees and I'M
derorowth, and ''budding" the pal
mettoes, is all that is really necessary.
On rich new land of this soil the plants
may be set Immediately after the land
is cleared, with no other preparation.
The palmetto tops, and most of the
brush and logs may be left upon the
ground-cutting up brush in the first
place somewhat. All this rubbish
will decay just about as fast as the
roots of the plants need it, and much
of it can be knocked to pieces in a few
months with an ordinary hoe. The
plants may be set then in true Hon
duras fashion, of which friend gives
the following m0dats operandt, in the
words of native: ''In de fus place,
said he, 1--WE chop down de trees and
burns all of dey tat we can; den we
cuts de banana sprouts into pieces wild
an ak and makes little holes vid
mattock about so faI apart, (the dis
lance illust rated by stretching out his
long arms), den we chucks dem in,
and array de goes. ''-Amertcdn A9rl-

Feeding Straw Profitab1y.

Opinions of feeders differ pretty
widely as to whether straw can be
fed with profit or not. The best
dairymen are strongly opposed to
any straw feeding to cows giving
milk. One of them said to us re-
Gently, 81 never let my cows get
taste of straw if l can prevent it.
1t is used for bedding, and they will
eat some, no matter how well fed,
as it is a change; but | much rather
they would not" He feeds brewers
grains, ration very stimulating to
the production of milk, but not very
rich in itself, and not making milk
of very high quality, though it is the
best that people in beer-making cit
les are likely to get.
Feeding straw successfully prob
ably requires peculiar conditions not
generally found. 1t is a dry feed,
and therefore lily adapted to making
milk. 1t is not a rich food in anv
respect, much of it being a woody
fibre of no more nutritive value than
so much sawdust. What it has of
nutrition is mainly carbon or heat
giving, and if it were even richer in
this it would not alone keep an ami
NAL in vigorous health. And yet
there are feeding uses for straw in
which it serves an excellent purpose
Given with linseed meal or cotton
seed cake it furnishes the bulk which
those excessively condensed forms
of nutrition require for safe feeding.
As it is bulk rather than nutrition
that is needed, straw NAV be well
substituted for hay. This has been
found true in practice by those who
have given it trial.
There is a great difference in the
quality of straw. That from early
cut grain retains more freshness,
and becomes much less hard and
woody. Too often straw is consid-
cred scarcely worth caring for, and
cut late and poorly stacked, 1t rots
down into very poor manure. 1t
may be better even thus than to be
relied on as staple for winter feed
ing, unless there are large supplies
of foods rich in albuminolds to 90
with it.
