Is Life
Worth Living7

That depends upon the
Liver. IF the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirit is de-
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general dependency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a
medical perfection.
I have tested its virtues personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, B%iliousnesS and
Throbbing Headache, it is the best medi-
cine the world ever saw. Have tried forty
other remedies before Simmons Liver
Regulator, and none of them gave more
than temporary relief, but the Regulator
not only relieved but cured.

STARTING THE TOMATOES.

Ten weeks before the date when
it is safe to set the plants out of
doors, in any given locality, seeds of
early tomatoes should be sown in
boxes in a warm greenhouse or in a
sunny window. AS soon as thelittle
plants are fairly under way and be-
fore they get drawn, they should be
transplanted into another set of
boxes about ten inches apart, OrpOt-
ted into three-inch pots. The latter
plan is best when there is room.
Four weeks before it is safe to final
ly place them in the open ground,
they should be transplanted into a
cold frame four inches apart each
way, and gradually Injured to the
air. When carefully hardened, they
should go outside as soon as it IS
safe for them. A light hoar-frOst
will do them little damage, and they
had better be outside to start with
the first warm weather. Garden

1T PAYS TO KEEP POULTRY.

Can poultry be kept with a profit
on the farms of New England was a
question that was unanswered in the
affirmative by A. {. Hopkins of
Lancaster in paper on poultry
culture at the farmers meetingi IN the
John Hancock building the other
day. He said there was a great
and growing demand for eggs and
chickens raised on the farm, and
they bring a much higher price than
those that come from distance and
are OF uncertain age. Methods to be
observed in the breeding and care of
poultry were described, and it was
said that the profits from intelligent
cultivation are large, a good hen
producing on an average So per
s,nnum in eggs and chickens. Slim
ulating foods should be used spar
inglv. and it is we'll to change the
kind of grain fed frequently. Lots
OF exercise is necessary to keep the
fowls in a healthy condition. Ply
mouth Rock IS the most profitable
fowl TO raise, and dark-colored eggs
sell the best in the Boston markets.
Mater should not be given to young
chickens until they are three weeks
old, the moisture necessary being

TAKE CARE OF THE OLD HORSE.

OATS AFTER OATS.

The oat crop is so exhaustive that
it is never grown in succession by
good farmers. The attempt to so
grow it is only made at the West,
and there because it is possibly the
crop that requires least labor. 1t
will bear later sowing than other
spring grains, though even with oats
this late seeding usually produces a
light, chaffy crop of little value. But
with spring wheat it might be
worse-a blight resulting in entire
failure 1t is not hard to understand
why oats are so exhaustive. Analy-
sis OF the grain shows it to be rich in
the scarcer and dearer elements of
plant food. Examina ton of it's
roots shows them long and well diff
fused through the soil wherever
plant food can be found. The
exhaustive effect of the oat crop is
seen when it is used as fallow crop
for wheat. All wheat growers know
that better wheat is grown after
barley or peas than is possible with
oats, unless with the latter enough
mineral fertilizer in available form is
applied to restore what the oat crop
has taken from the soil.

KEEP A FEW SHEEP.

Many farmers feel that they are
not keeping as much stock as they
ought upon their farms, but more
cows require an additional outlay

NOTES FOR THE FARMER.

Apples are still plenty in the New
York market, and prices rule low.
Too much poorly assorted fruit goes
to market.
Many old stone walls and crooked
fences, overrun with brush and
weeds, take up land enough for a
nice garden or strawberry patch.
Don't throw the coal ashes in the
road when it is good sleighing. 1t
makes your neighbor have an I'M
kindly feeling towards you when his
sleigh CRATES over them.
Never hesitate to take advantage
of the experiences and observa ton of
others, or, in other words, to educa tie
yourself by reading the best books
and papers which treat upon the
work you have in view.
DR.. Hoskins says that in twenty
five years xperimenting he has
found but three really 1ron-clad, long
keeping and productive apples.
These are SCOTS Winter, Bethel and
Canada Baldwin. The last named
is suited to only clay soil.

stingy with it? A correspondent of

s1R:-It is claimed by some parties in
this city that our commerce has declined
since 1S65-under Republican rule-and
in support, Hawthorne and VIM. L.
Wilson are quoted as authority for this
statement. What are the facts in the
case? INQUIRER.
Commerce is the buying and selling
Of commodities. Our commerce for a
given year would be represented by all
our purchases and all our sales for that
year. If this be what Enquirer"
means, the question almost answers
itself. In the fiscal year just closed the
country did the heaviest business in its
history, our foreign trade alone exceed
ing sl,sOO,oOoOOo.
The commerce OF a country Is some
times taken to mean the value OF inn
ports and exports carried in its own
ships. 1t may be that "Inquirer's"
question comes within this restricted
use of the word commerce. In 1866
products to the value of $l67, 4O2, s72
were carried in American bottoms be-
tween this and foreign countries. In
1891 the value was $685. 39,929.
The actual increase OF the foreign
carrying trade in American bottoms in
1891 over 1866 was therefore very hand
some, but this is not the whole story.
In 1855 the percentage of the foreign
carrying trade done in American
bottoms was 27.7, in 1891, 11.94
In other words foreign ships, built
and operated at less cost than our own,
have taken an increasing share of the
trade. Foreign owners are satisfied
with much smaller returns than Amer
leans expect, and where ever there is a
cargo to be picked up there is an ocean
tramp flying a foreign flag ready to take
it
If "Inquirer's" question has not been
answered to his satisfaction the INTEL
IloENcER will be glad to give him any
further information at its command.
