VI had been troubled with heart disease Is
years, much Of that time very seriously For
i've years was treated by one physician CON
tinuously. Twas in business, but obliged TO
retire on account of my health. A phy-
stefan told my friends that could not live II
month, My feet and limbs were badly swol-
len, and was indeed in serious condition
when gentleman directed my attention to
Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, and said that his
sister, who had been afflicted with heart dis
ease, had been cured by the remedy, and was
again strong, healthy woman. Ipurchased
bottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than
an hour after taking the first dose | could
feel decided improvement in the circulation
of my blood. When had taken three doses
could move my ankles, something / had not
done for months, and my limbs had been swol-
zen so long That they seemed almost purified.

ONE of the best of our experiment
stations is that at the agricultural col
lege of Massachusetts, in Amherst. 1t
has been testing the value of creamery
buttermilk against skim-mik, for pig
feeding. The analyses of the butter
milk showed it to contain 80 90 per
cent water, and 100 per cent solids;
of which 81 per cent was fat and 200
per cent casein. The analyses of the
skim-milk gave it composition of
90.42 per cent water, and 8 So per cent
solids; of which 80 per cent was fat,
and % per cent casein. Thts fig
ures indicate that skim-milk has the
higher feeding valne. In a trial at that
station, six pigs weighing from forty to
fifty pounds were divided into two lots.
The one received skim-milk and corn
meal and The other buttermilk and corn
meal. The skim-milk was rated at two
cents per gallon and the buttermilk
was charged to the pigs at the contract
or's price of l 81 cents per gallon. The
corn meal cost S2S per ton. The meal
and the milk were mixed together ia
the proportion of one of meal to seven
teen of milk. This would make very
thin slop. The result of the expert
ment, briefly stated, was to the effect
that pound of dressed pork made with
the skim-milk and corn meal cost 5S
cents and that made with the butter
milk and meal at the prices stated cost
4 6 cents. During the period of about
four months Q24 days), the skim milk
lot gained 617.75 pounds and the but
termilk lot GIG pounds, or an average
of 1.6 per day for each lot; which is a
good gain. In the second trial, in
which the mixture of meal and milk
contained more grain and less milk
than in the first tlial, diff erent results
were obtained. Twelve pigs varying
in wei hts from fifteen to forty-six
pounds were divide d into two lots. At
first the meal and milk were fed ia the
proportion of one to eleven and gradu-
ally the guam ity of meal was increased
until at the end of the period of about
four and one.half months GAO days.
they were getting the mixture in the
proportion of one of the meal to five of
the milk by weight. In this trial the
cost of producing pound of dressed
pork with the skim.milk and corn meal,
charged at the prices mentioned, was
5 80 cents and in the instance of the
buttermilk and meal the cost was 5.73
cents per pound. The buttermilk lot
gained l 07S pounds, or an average of
one pound per day, while the lot fed
skim. milk gained / 100 pounds or l
pounds per day.

THE vogue of the fawn-like, lawn
type of Jerseys began to wane when
the breed began to get upon the farms
of New England, and be adopted as
praclic ii dairy stock. Ga this subject,
the Maine Farmer observes: 81 irge
size, it is well known, is no;able fet-
ture of nearly all the different families
of the Maine state registry of Jersey
cattle. 1t is equally well known also,
that they are deep mixers aud produc-
ers of large annual yields of the butter
product. M ijor Henry E. Alvord, in a
communication to the Breeders Gazette,
expresses a decided preference for
large-siz ID Jersey cows, and supports
his position ny the records Of perform
ance made at the Worlds F ir dairy
test. He says to his mind the best type
of the American Jersey is deciled
improvement upon the average i'm
ported COW. The Improvement has
been all along the line-more butter,
because of richer milk aud heavier
mixers; more milk and richer, because
of larger cows, stronger in constitu-
ton"

THE Youths Companion, referring to
the state agricultural colleges estab-

several of the schools agricultural ed

the theory and practice of agriculture

WE find the following recipe for
heaves in horses in the Connecticut
Farmer, as one which has been sue
cessluIly used in that e tate for nearly a
century. 1t is doubtless more compli-
Gated than is necessary, but the in
gradients are all harmless, and tend
toward the desired purpose in their
operation: "Take forty sumac buds,
one pound resin, one pint ginger, half
pound mustard, one pint unslaked
lime, six ounces cream tartar, tour
ounces gum guaicum, one pound ep.
som salts; mix together, divide into
thirty powders and give one every
morning in the horses feed before
watering him." We suppo,e that by
sumach "buds the dried fruit clust RS
of our common sumach are intended
probably when ripe. If any reader
should try it, we would be glad to know
of the result.
WE have in our possession, in per-
feet condition, full calf binding, the
first three volumes of the Register of
the Vermont Merino Sheepbreeders'
Association. Not being pecuniarily in-
ter sted in the sheep industry, and not
likely to be so as long as dogs continue
to form 80 important part of the live
stock OF the country, we would dispose
of these volumes TO any party so inter.
ested at moderate price.

advanced to 81 per week but he did not
quite make expenses, and the third
year he received So per week and spent

and is there any good reason why hun
dreds Of Vermont farm boys may not
do as well, if they will take hold in
good earnest2 We know, pers onslly, a
considerable number of farm boys who
have been to the city and come back
with little or no money, more bad habits
than they took with them, and less per-
sonal value for any kind of work than
when they left the farm. The city is
undoubtedly an educator, but quite as
often in wrong as in right way.
Still, the cities must be peopled from
the county; for city families, as rule,
run entirely out in three generations.
To keep up at all, they have to marry
country wives or husbands.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter IMAM others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man.
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

six Pastors in 1877 Years.

The Presbyterian congregation which
has just erected new place of yor-
ship at Ninety-fifth street. New York,
was founded in 1855, and has during
the whole of the 1877 years of its ex-
istence had only five ministers before
Rev. DR.. Wylie, who is now its minis
ter. All its ministers must have lived
to a good old age, as did John Mason,
the first one of them. If the stalwart
minister who now fills the pulpit shall
hold it but few years longer the his
torian will be able to say that the first
six ministers preached the Presbyte-
rian gospel in the eighteenth the
nineteenth and the twentieth centu-
ries; or from a period of twenty
years before the American revolution
until period of at least century
and quarter after it. The first edi-
flee of the church was in Cedar street,
the second in Crosby, and the third in
Fourteenth; its new edifice is in Nine
ty-ffth street. This strong edifce
ought to last for centuries. Il New

For BOiIs and Burns.

Take catnip and boil in sweet milk,
nnd thicken this with corn meal to
the consistency of any mush poultice,
and put it on the boil as warm as can
be borne. / saw boy once who had
been afflicted terribly with risings all
under his chin and throat, relieved al
most immediately by this poultice,
when no other had done any good. 1t
seemed like magic, the cure was so
speedy.
For burns there is no better remedy
than linseed oil and lime mixed in u
smooth paste and spread on soft old
cotton or linen, and laid on the burns,
and changed once day when the
burns are dressed. The lime must be
Stacked, of course, and sifted through
muslin, so that every lump is out OF
of it. 1t is we'll to keep this mixture
always on hand, for we know not when
there may be occasion for it.
Another excellentremedy, and which
every one has now, is kerosene oil.
Saturate cloths and bind on, or better
still, put oil on the burn, as much al
will stick on, and cover with flour, and
bind clothes around it so as to exclude
the air.
