Epoch

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual Such
remarkable event is treasured in the mem
DRY and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in praise
of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of the Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, Of long or short stand
ing you will surely find relief by use of Elec
trio Bitters. Sold at SOC. and 81 per bot

Rough Usage of Cows.

/ have seen a great many heifers and
cows in a tremOr of excitement while some
ignorant or brutal fellow was milking
them. / never knew them to be made quiet
and willing to be MIXED by scolding, kick
ing or pounding. but they might have been
make docile by early and gentle handling.
1t is safe to say that rough usage of cows
often occasions the loss of half their milk.
They refuse to give down." and that dries
them up rapidly. Boys, hogs and needless
men worry them when driving from
the field. Irregular feeding and milking.
and everything out of the regular order,
disturbs and therefore damages them.
Change of residence frequently causes cows
to shrink their milk for a whole year. A
noted HOlstein butter cow, taken to the
fair to test her butter-making qualities.
made only a pound of butter from forty
four pounds of milk, while in the quiet Of
her home she made pound Of butter from
twenty-one pounds and three ounces of
milk. Likely she was extra nervous, but
all cows have nerves enough to require
that their treatment be gentle and regular.

INDIANAPOLIS, AUG. 8.
There has been nothing specially note
worthy in the markets during the week
closing to-day, except the advance noted
yesterday of one-half cent in all grades of
coffee, green and roasted. Prices have been
steadily maintained, and business while
not at all brisk. has been fully up to expec-
tations and an improvement in all branches
over that of the corresponding period of the
preceding year. The only department of
trade in which special dullness is noted ia
that of leather and hides. Prices of both
are sbnormally low and trade is dull. but
there has been a very active business in
betting. The produce market was steady.
Eggs and butter of good quality are scarce.
but chickens are plentiful and rather weak
at prices quoted. The -four market CON

Wood Ashes.


~ II,
That wood ashes are a valuable fertilizer
is we'll known; but / am convinced that
few fruit-growers place proper estimate
upon their worth. OF course. they alone
are not enough; other manures must be
used. 1t is highly probable that the re-
suits from their application would not be
30 marked on all soils. My land is natural
prairie, the soil being a dark loan. rich in
nitrogen. Ashes contain no nitrogen, but
they contain all the elements Of plant-foOd
except nitrogen, aud just in the proportions
desired, and in a state of minute subdivis-
ion. Professor Goessman says that wood
ashes have an agricultural value much
above their chemical value" My ex-
perience agrees with this. and find that
wood ashes have higher value to the
fruit-grower than to the grain-gr0wer. As
teaching only reduces the potash, leached
ashes sometimes give as good results as I'M
leached. This is the case where the soil
does not particularly lack potash.

The Weight Of Eggs.


According to Mr.. P. L. Simonds, the
standard yield and weight of eggs for the
different varieties of domestic fowls are
approximately as given below: Light
Brahmas and partridge COchins, eggs seven
to the pound; they lay 50 to 100 per annum,
or even more. according to treatment and
keeping. Dark Brahmas, eight to the pound;
and about 70 per annum. Black. white and
buff Coehins, eight to the pound; 100 or less
pound; 100 per annum. Houdans, eight
to the pound; $50 per annum. La Fleche.
seven to the pound; 40 per
annum. Black Spanish seven to the
pound; $50 per annum. Dominiques, to

Ducks, 5 too to the pound; IA to 2s per an
mum. Geese. to the pound: 90 per annum.
Guinea fowls. IL to the pound: 20 per an
