easily recognized and once heard al
ways remembered. Usually o day or
two. before the attack, the child be-"
comes hoarse and gradually shows
symptoms of having taken cold, and
this Is where the mistake is usually
made, the mother thinking her child
has just taken cold gives it no especial
attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing of the child,
finds 1t has the Group and remembers it
has had cold or been hoarso for day
or two. Such circumstances often &C.

and may be several miles from a physi.
clan or drug store. You can we'll i'm
agine the situation and her distress.
The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse or shows symptoms of
having taken cold; if Chambcrlain's
Cough Remedy is freely given from
that time on, all tendency to Group will
disappear and all danger be avoided.
The remedy prevents fully ten thous.
and cases of Group every year. 1t is
the main reliance with many mothers
throughout the Western States and

and how to use it, and in those families

New Style Agriculture and HOrticu lturt

New Style Agriculture and Horticulture
EDITOR FREE PRESS:
Allow ma to call the attention 0
our farmers to the new system Of
cultivation, by sub-irrigation and fer
tilizing, introduced by the Hon. A. N
Cole, of Wellsville, Allegany County
New York, who has given full infor
nation in regard to it, in a recent
work, called, "The New Agriculture.
Mr.. Cole raises, on land prepared
at an expense of fifty dollars per acre
one thousand bushels of blackberries
per acre, which he sells at an average
price of two dollars per bushel. lie
says in letter to the Farmers Club
of Elmira
I have two rows of wildipg, the
finest berry ever grown averaging at
the rate of fifteen hundred bushels to
the acre, and am now pushing on
with Eve acres of new setting.
My apple trees produce three times
as much as formerly, and the fruit is
larger and of greatly improved quail
ity. am doubling grapes and qulnc-
es in size, and growing five to tenfold
greater crops than the average pro-
duced in the most favored fruit reg
ions of our state. + am growing the
Mikado tomato at the rate of from
three to five thousand bushels per
acre.
NY caulifower presents the most
amazing sight of all. One plant, to
which 1 gave four feet of pure mold
in perfect sponge before reaching
water table beneath, on August l7th,
stood two feet and two inches, and
measured in circuit of outside leaves
eleven feet. Five days later it stands
three feet high and sixteen feet
around.
He also speaks of producing pota-
toes at the rate OF twelve hundred
bushels per acre.
He states that be is bringing a
large area under cultivation by this
system.
He claims that be has passed the
experimental stage, and has demon
strated success. Mr.. Cole is a man
of the very highest character and
standing socially and financially, and
his methods are attracting wide at
tentiop.
He says his system will revolution
ize agriculture. 1 trust some Of our
wide awake farmers viii correspond
with him, and get his book. with the
purpose Of giving the new system

Just at the close of the war for the
suppression of the rebellion, the fol-
lowing prophetic utterance was writ
ten by Abraham Lincoln:
eyes, we may all congratulate our
selves that this rebel war is nearing
close. 1t has cost vast amount OF
treasure and blood. The best blood
of the flower of the American youth
has freely been offered upon our
country's altar that the nation might
live. 1t has, indeed, been q trying
hour for the republic, but l see in
the near future o crisis approaching
that un nerves me, and causes me to
tremble for the safety Of our country.
As result of the war corpora tions
have been enthroned, and an era OF
corruption in high places will follow,
and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working on the preiudices Of the
people until oil wealth is aggregated
in few hands, and the republic is
destroyed. l feel at this moment
more anxiety for the safety Of my
country than ever before, even in the
midst of the war. God grant that
my suspicious may prove groundless.
