A PUBLIC BENEFACrOR.

"Who is II. ii. Warner, of Roches'
Yer, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es.
pecially Warmers Safe Cure, have at.
tanned such success and celebrity al
home and abroadp"
The question is inspired as much by
affection as curiosity, since through
his instrumentality hundreds of thou.
sands, in both hemispheres, have
been restored to health and happi.
ness.
Hon. ii. ii. Warner, then, is q
leading and honored resident OF
Rochester, not only, but a prominent
and influential citizen Of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as a National delegate to
nominate President of the Republic,
he has been member of the Repub-
can State Committee and OF its Exc
cutivc Committee. lie is q member
OF the American Institution for the
Advancement OF Science; President
OF tho Rochester Chambe of Com
merce; a successful and upright bust.
ness man. He has given away for
tunes in charities. The celebrated
and costly Warner Observatory OF
Rochester was conceived, endowed,
and is maintained by him. His
munitcent prizes for the discovery OF
comets has been at once the wonder
and delight of the scientific world.
The yellow fever scourage in the
South, the Ohio floods, the fire dis
asters OF Rochester and other cities
awakened his protoundest sympathies
and in each instance his check for
from $500 TO s., 900 swelled the several
relief funds. Where other wealthy
men give tens and hundreds. he gives
hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need OF more such
men.
An incident led him into the manu-
facture OF medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablsst
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, he was miraculously restored 10
health by what is now known as
Warmers Safe Cure. AT once he re-
solved TO make known the merits OF 50
potent a remedy, and the consequence
Is that to-day he has immense labora-
tories and warehouses in the United
States, Canada. England, Germany,
Austria, Australia and Burmah. sales
Of his Safe Remedies are enormous,
and their power over disease amply
marvellous.
The merit Of a production is in ex.
act keeping with the character OF its
producer. An honest and reliable
man himself, MIR. Warner makes
honest and reliable medicines fact
abundantly attested by their pheno
menAi efficacy and popularity.

In the corn raising states the
farmers have high esteem for corn
fodder. They SOW corn broadcast
and reap it when it has grown to a
good size. Then they bindit. There
is no reason why we cannot even
beat them in raising corn fodder, as
all the stalks and leaves are OF use
i'm the fodder, as well as the imma-
ture ears. The stalks are more ten
der and juicy than they are in the
