New Store under The Opera House

At new store under the Opera
House we have this week opened
$4,000 worth of suits and ~overcoats.
You a get your boys a good warm
overeoat for $3.50. Mems Raritan
C%hinchilla Beaver overcoats, warm
but not burthensome, $500. Black
Corkscrew %overcoats, Atwood face,
500. Skating jackets made of
heavy beaver cloth, cut double
breasted and lined with flannel, just
the thing for knoek-about, S3.75.
Knit jackets from 75c to- $3.50.
Everything needed for men and
boys, and at prices lower than else
where in this county.
Never in our history as merchants
have we been 50 well prepared to
take care of ourselves and our Gus
toners on BOOTS and SHOES as
we are at this present time. We
placed our orders early in the sea
son when the w~ork-people were not
hurried, and the consequence is that
we have a BETTER, LARGER and
CHEAPER stock than ever before.
We own now and have in posses.
sion over Fifty Cases of Mems and
Boys Boots-all kinds, all prices.
The celebrated E. S. Reeve boots
as low as s2.25. You all know this
make of goods. Mr.. Reeve is a
conscientious mar and don't put his
name on anything that is not worthy
oft. We are the only agents for
the Lester Boot. We sold these
largely last year and have not had
a single complaint, though we have
taken great pains to make inquiry
of those we sold them to. The uni
versal verdict is that there are none
better. We a give you good bar
gains in boots and you do yourself
injustice if you fail to take a look at
our stock. We don't care so much
for profits as we do to sell the
goods.
In Ladies and Children's wear
and goods adapted to their wants
we are quite as fortunate as on
Mems and Boys goods. While we
have all desirable makes and grades
in Children's and Women's wear,
we would especially call attention to
our French Kid, hand-welt, extern
sion sole, common-sense heel. but
ton boots for Ladies at So. It's the
neatest made, neatest fitting, easiest
wearing and most dressy shoe for
the money that we have ever been
able to offer.
All kinds Mems and Boys Hats.
Five cases lately received. Every
thing in Mems wear and Boys wear.
Also the largest stock of Clothing
in this county at our we'll known,
popular low prices.
New purchase children's two
piece suits. sag upwards.
IS doz. Mems Medicated Scarlet
with Drawers to match. The
best by far that we have ever offered
for the m lncy.
Fifteen doz. new purchase Mems

While a great many of the well-to-do,
who have special interests to subserve, are
finding fault with the moderate tempera-
ture of the winter thus far, a great many
are looking with much complacency upon
their coal bins, which give much smaller
indications thai usual Of depletion at this
time of the winter. The consumption OF
coal has not been nearly as great during
November and December of last year as it
was during the same months of1SS7, which
is something to be thankful for.

BADlY-DRAiNED SOIL.
The Effects of Water on Growing Planes
 CleverIy Illustrated.

Probably no better illustration can be given of the effects of water on growing plants than what we see in the ease of plants growing in pots. Every pot is provided with hole in the bottom to allow the water to drain out when the soil becomes saturated, and with the exception of water or bog plants this drainage is a necessity. if We see plant whose foliage turns yellow or drops off, or which fails to grow, and whose whole appearance is unthrfty. we are almost sure 10 find the trouble to be at the roots, and not subsequently, we find the drainage is clogged and the roots are inactive. Turning the plant out Of the pot, placing some bits of broken crock at the bottom and then some coarse ma terial, the plant is returned to it's place and filled in with fresh soil, and in short time it starts into new growth and shows that it can grow if the conditions are suitable. With out healthy roots there can be no vigorous growth. A supply of water is necessary for the roots to take from the soil what they want. but the water must pass off and not remain stagnant, or disease and death will follow. The case is exactly the same with plants growing in the fields and where there is an excess of moist ure below the surface. Pot grown plants may still further serve to show bad effect of q surcharge of water in the soil. All plant growers are very careful in cold weather about watering their plants at night, know ing by experience that the increased evaporation will too greatly reduce the temperature and thus check and stunt the plants The case is the same in effect over large areas where the water is held in the soil below tho surface. The temperature is kept many degrees below what it would be if good drainage existed. Vegetation commences later in the spring, arrives at maturity later and is coarser in text ure on such soils. The market garden CT, the fruit grower and the farmer can not aflo to raise crops on any but we'll draiped lands. at Work.

 ing and l'a5turing.

l generally keep about one hundred thoroughbred land-Chinas, choosing those with ears so formed that they can see in ali directions, and possessed of the necessary vitality and action to keep out of the way of cattle. In the summer my hogs are allowed to run on fifteen acres of grass, consisting of blue grass. orchard grass. timothy and clover mixed. Besides this they are fed soaked oats and shorts, with plenty of pure well water, twice day, varied sometimes with an ear of corn once a day, care being taken that the breeders do not become fat. In the fall they are fed turnips. sorghum, apples and an increasing amount of oats and corn. Pumpkins. beets, etc, would be added if they could be raised here. Sorghum sown broadcast, cut ripe with the mower and raked with the hay rakc has proved a very profitable vegetable food with me. The cattle are fed broken ear corn in troughs, and each one is followed by two hogs and pig. III 't bIOtiS II oI lHc SGOttdu htcp d mixture of bushel of common salt. l peck Of ashes and charcoal, 10 pounds of strong English soda, pound of powdered mandrake root, pounds of powdered copperas and , pounds of blue vitriol.

 With this method of feeding have not lost a hog by disease in four years. except one by blind staggers. l al- lowed him to die in order to learn if possible the cause and remedy for this disease, and came to the conclusion that the real cause is Indigestion for which the best cure is one ounce of bismuth of potash daily for several days. My hogs sleep on a sand bed under shed which is well protected from wind and water, and are sep arated by partitions so that not over six can sleep together. At one side small aperture allows the young pigs to slip into still warmer place. They have pure, clean water and their coats shine This is most successful as well as easy method of taking care of hogs, and those who try it will, 1 am sure, have as much occasion for satis- faction as l have had.
