He came out Of the army with chronic di.
arrhea, liver trouble, rheumatism, and his
nervous system badly affected. The
swamps OF the South had poisoned his sys-
TEN, and doomed him to years OF suffering.
Physicians and remedies without number
were tried, in vain hopes Of finding some
relief from his complication Of troubles,
but all without avail. Years passed away,
and he felt doomed to life Of agony.
Fortunately for Mr.. Wentworth his atten-
ton was attracted, about a year ago, to
BROWNS SARSAPARILLA. Twenty
Ave years had elapsed since his troubles
commenced, and excellent medicine

Moreover he has had charge, in con-

months past books, papers, pictures,
banners and notices have been arriv-

of the most unique features of the
Columbian exposition. Pictures of dis

will be appointed to report upon the
progress and success of the orders ex-
hibit.

MUTTON CHOPS.

FREoUEN change of pasture should
be given and anything which conduces
to the comfort OF the fieecy beauties.
SHEEP farming has an advantage
over dairying in balancing up the work
of the year more evenly. If it increases
the winter work it makes less to do in
summer
THE mutton maker who lives near
town may be able to sell readily at the
right price, but he must contend with
the town dogs, which is no slight dis
advantage.
On the right track is the man who
enlarges his flock by adding to it a full
blooded and high-priced buck. A choice
buck lamb can be bought in the spring
at low price, and reared as easily as
eny other.
A LANE leading to the pastures from
the yard or fold is good thing. The
sheep can be taught to come up at
night and need only have the gate
opened in the morning, when they viii
go to feeding without having further
time spent on them.
