size of an ordinary tea saucer and cover
each on both sides with figured silk or

IL
Vegetable Farmer.
About nine years ago. and at that
time 80 years old, I bought place of
man who was in the market gardening
business, but whose health had failed
and felt unable to carry it on longer,
Having lived on farm until % years
of age and been q tradesmi.n from that
time on, knew something about work
and a younger man taken as a partner
was supposed to know more than
about the business of gardening. The
debt when we began was something like
So, $50. There were tools to buy and a
good deal of stable manure was bought
during the first few years, and the
debt not much reduced.
After about five years the partner
ship was dissolved and since then the
management has been in my own
hands, with satisfactory results on the
whole. No stable manure has been
bought. but about $500 worth of COM
mercial fertilizer-mostly muriate of
potash, bone dust and nitrate of soda
has been used yearly. Sometimes this
was mixed. out usually each kind was
sown by itself without mixing. It is
about twelve miles from my place to
market, and four years ago a man bet
ter qualified than myself was employed
to sell my produce on commission. Be
low is an account of sales for the last
three years as shown by book:

The aim has been to produce such
crops as were most profitable for the
la Dor required, do what l could myself
and hire as little help as possible; one
man by the month and day help as
get in this locality. My health has
been good, or these results could not
have been accomplished. My wife,
though not very strong, has carried
her end, prepared good food and plen-
ty of it and we have used freely of the
fruits grown on the place. All the
stock kept is pair of horses and a few
hens. Economy has been studied, as
well as the papers for information in
Our particular line OF business.
Another thing that has been of adj
vantage, the boss has been able to do
his own painting, glazing. mason and
carpenter work and plumbing, and
everything is in better order now than
when he began. On May Is. '93, the
last payment was made and yve are now
looking for little easier time for the

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and erjoy 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 perfect lax
alive; effectually 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

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

CANADA forbids the adulteration of
cheese and Canada is right.
If the cows are ''home grown" and
are not gentle it is apt to be the own
ers fault.
IF you mean to make success of
dairying this winter. believe you can
and go ahead.
AT the price of feed and milk this
season it will not pay to feed poor cows
it never does.
IT never increases the milk supply to
pitch milk stools at the COWS or to
swear at them.

about your place is an icehouse; if so
do not wait till the crop is wasted be-
fore building the house.

4 FAMILY Iaxative.

Physicians are not inclined to recommend
Sc If medication to the laity. Yet there is
one need which they are almost unable +,
supply. We refer to the ''falnily laxative"
The family physician is able to prescribe
for the most complicated and obscure of
maladles and yet is often puzzled to know
just what to give when asked for remedy
which can be kept in the house for family
use as a laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant to
take. When absent on our summer veca-
ton we were asked by four different parties,
representing as many families, what we
thought of the Syrup of Figs" Not one
word did we volunteer on the subject, and
we We're somewhat surprised to find that
there was this small token of the very gen.
eral use Of that preparation. These parties
said they derived more benefit from it and
found it more pleasant to take than anything
OF the kind they had ever used. The simple
question with them was, is it a dangerous
compounds We informed them that its
active ingredient was preparation of sem
ia, and that it was entirely free from dam
ger. With this assurance they volunteered
the information that they should continue
to keep it III the house.
The therapeutical properties of SIENNA are
so well known that comment on this seems
unnecessary. It might be well to notice,
however, that Bartholow says it is ga very
safe and serviceable cathartic,'' and that it
is ''highiy priced as remedy for constipa-
ton" he also makes the Important obser-
walton that it's use sis not followed By in
testinal torpor and constipation
The simple truth of the matter is, we have
altogether too few preparations which we
can recommend to our families as effective
laxatives. But the California Fig Syrup
company has one of the most desirable ccm
biEations for this purpose with which we
are familiar. The Fig Syrup company gives
to the profession the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it; the persons who use this laxative
speak in the highest terms about it; and we
are pleased to notice that large number of
physicians are prescribing it.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will lose
nothing by recommending such a prepare
ton as Syrup of Figs to his patients; while
ing the best possible by those who place
themselves in our care we would say the
profession cannot do better than give their
Endorsement to such preparation.-Amer

He-.rd,nc Poultry diseases.

1t is very foolish error to suppose
that fine fowls are more susceptible to
disease than the common dunghill. On
the contrary. wen-bred flock OF thor
ouRhbred chickens are less liable to
contract disease, from the fact that
good breeding has established in them
strong constitutions and powers OF en-
durance, while promiscuous crossing
and recrossing of dunghills has weak
ened these characteristics. The great
size and extra egg productlveness OF
the thoroughbreds is the result OF years
of judicious breeding from the very
strongest and nest healthy specimens.
