HOW's
Your Liver?

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
1t acts with extraor-
binary power and efficacy.

ditched the land and got out the stumps;
but he does not say how dry it has be-
come. lie asks if he shall pillow it,
which leads us to fer that he thinks
he could do so, in spite of the many
roots and logs in the ground. He does
not say how large the piece is, which
would make some difference about the
profit of doing anything with it, Yet
to remove an eye-sore near his build
ings, or rather to abolish it, is worth
some expenditure, even beyond the
probable return in money. Usually
these " frog ponds " are rich enough,
when drained, to yield good crops of
grass; and if dry enough, both pota-
toes and corn can be grown upon them.
AT the Soldiers Home, Togus, Maine
(Which is but a short distance from our
birthplace), a hundred-acre swamp has
been reclaimed, and is now, we hear,
most beautiful field, fit to grow any
thing. When we saw it last, about
sixteen years ago, the work had been
carried so far, by deepening and straight
ening brook that ran through it and
making side-drains to the brook, that a
considerable part was planted to corn,
which had made a fine growth. But
before this could be done it was neces-
sary, after getting good fall and out
let, to drain all the springs along the
edges of the high ground, so as to give
a depth of two feet of soil quite clear
of stagnant water. The surface settled
considerably as the water was drained
out; and a singular thing about the
operation was that a mineral spring in
the midst of the swamp, which had
been a popular resort, was deprived Of
its " mineral, >" and became sweet, pure
water.
Now if Mr.. Bailey's frog pond is
drained deeply enough, so that it has
become dry and fit for the pillow, he
needs only to pillow it as deeply as posi-
BILE getting all roots, etc, that he
finds in the way and put in a crop of
most any sort. The only manuring
likely to be needed at first would be a
liberal dressing OF air-slaked lime or
of unleached ashes. Such land when
first drained is usually full of decayed
vegetable matter that makes it " sour"
and to sweeten it by the use of alkaline
manure is the first thing necessary to
fit it for crop. We should not put
anything else on it in the way of
fertilizer until we found out for GER
tain that anything else is needed.
Being near the house, it might be well
worth improving as garden, for such
land, when well drained, generally
proves excellent for nearly all garden
crops. and particularly good for cab
bage, caulhower, celery, cucumbers
and root crops. But little can be hoped
for it, however, until it is thoroughly
and deeply drained If this can not be
done, grass is the only crop that need
be expected, and this, even, will be
rather poor as long as the land is wet.

burned them. 1t is clear of timber on
the surface. There is swamp grass and

want to inquire if you think it best TO
pillow it or to fertilize it as it is, and
whether the formula you gave in the

good for muck land. The muck is

PLOT EXPERIMENTS exchange
says that every farm should be made
an experiment station to the extent of
applying all kinds of fertilizers to small
patches of all kinds of crops and on
every field. If needed anywhere, the
effect will at once be observable and
serve as guide to what materials to
apply. This is more economical and
sensible than to apply large amounts
of fertilizers on a guess. Much has
been wasted by wrong applications of
fertilizers" We used to believe in
this sort of experimenting, and have
done a good deal of it in times past;
but experience has shown us that it is
possible to be greatly misled by the APP
parent results. 1t is quite true that
much money is being wasted by the
wrong use of fertilizers; and the small
plot experiment is one of the very ways
in which it is easy to be misled. The
better way is to try the method which
seems most likely to give good results
