4 PROMPT DENIAL

WHEREAS, for some time past certain reports |
have been in circulation, and whereas said reports
(which did not deem worthy of notice. culmi- |
mated yesterday in anonymous libel in several
papers, We for the of our customers and
the benefit of the public, say:
FlRST--That the Scotch Oats Essence as manu-
factured by us for the ge eral pubcsdoes not con-
tain single particle of any opiate, morphine
chloral, Indian Hemp any narcotic poisonous
Ingredient of any kind.
SECOND--That from the first moment we heard
these reports began to place upon each bottle
Of Scotch Oats Essence S 1000 forfeit guaran-
tee that there was not particle of any opiate or
other narcotic in it, sworn to under oath.
THRD--That owing to the marvellous and un-
precedented sale of S. o. E., and the many thous
ands of hopeless and helpless nvalids it has cured,
we have aroused the envy, hatred, malice, and ILL
will of certain persons, who are taking every means
in their power to injure the REPUTATION Of the
remedy
FOURTH--We would invite any person per-
sons, chemists physicians, the public, to call at
factory and witness the manufacture of the
great remedy from the crude grain to the bottles
and labeled ess ence.
FIFTH--We shall take every legal step necessary
to punish malicious and libelous parties who,
der the guise of anonymity, attack from behind
in a coWardly manner.
SlXTH--We regret that the failure of three
the best chemists in the city to complete an elabo
rate analysis of Scotch Oats Essence, owing to the
length of time it takes, will not as yet permit us to
publish their sworn statement to the entire
freedom Of our remedy from any narcotic.
SCOTCH OATS ESSENCE is Natures tonic and
nervine. 1t is purely vegetable prompt and last

Two Lucky Mon.

Vancouver Cwash. Teri Independent, Nov.T.
On the 18th of October this paper
announced that lightning had struck
in Vancouver, or the same thing, a
streak of luck that made some excite
ment. In September M. c. Harell, a
laborer on J. c. Proebstel's farm
bought cne-tweutieth of ticket No.
46, 1856 in the Louisiana State Lottery,
and that number drew the big $500, 900
prize on October 9th. j. c. Proebstel
owns half of this Harell ticket, which
entities the holder to $4,000 The
ticket was deposited for collection with
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express Company,
at Portland, Oregon. The collection
was promptly honored by the Louis
lana State Lottery at New Orleans,
and the money, gold coin, is now at
Portland ready to be paid over upon
proper receipt for it. Both the lucky
men are honest grangers, and, as their
heads are level, will know just where
to put their unexpected wealth to do
them the most good.

swine in the Orchard.


An old friend, farmer. whose Or
chard has always been above the av-
erage in condition and production. re-
Gently told us that he thought much of
his success in orcharding was due to
his fattening his swine. in the fall and
early winter, in his orchard. Our own
experience has shown us very plainly
that the close association of swine and
orchard trees is mutually beneficial.
If the swine are given salt and ashes
regularly. and a variety of food. they
will not peel the trees; and the falling
fruit makes u good share of the need
ed variety. The carly windfalls, at
least. almost without exception. contain
Larvae. the presence of these being re-
sponsible for the falling of the fruit
The hogs eat the fruit and the Larvae
also, and thus prevent their entrance
into the earth or lodgment elsew here;
and as result there is not n swarm of
their descendants to blight the fruit of
the next year. The animals, being
much under the trees to get the fruit
and the shade, deposit their manure
where it will do the most good. In ex-
change, the trees give the animals
shade. when high feeding makes shade
grateful aud wholesome; and vegetable
food. when strong feeding of dry grains
makes it a necessity to the health and
thrift of the animals. II it is desired
to evaporate or can the best of the
windfalls. the hogs may be shut out
during the night and admitted after
those windfalls desired have been gath

contains also, specimen pages of PAM

that no fewer than fourteen millions
OF these almanacs are printed yearly,
thus placing the work as far ahead OF
