Lime on the Farm.

When Mr. Frain, of Clarified county,
Pa, began using lime, he experimental SO
as to find out just what quantity he should
apply per acre on his farm, says the Phila.
delphia Press. He had asked some who
used it, and they said, put on one hundred
bushels, others said two hundred, and some
told him this amount would ruin his land
and crops, that he should only put on forty
or fifty bushels. Well, he applied twenty
five bushels on an acre for wheat, and fifty
on another acre, seventy.fve on third,
and so ON up to three hundred bushels
The three hundred bushels proved too
much for the wheat, but did not injure the
land permanently He concluded that the
best results came when he applied one hun
bred and fifty bushels per acre, measured
after it was Stacked Now, what were the
results? Forty bushels Of good, plump
wheat per acre on all the land right through
that he had experimental on, on the aver
age. His last crop had been seven bush
els. He had raised as high as twelve.
Next he put in fifty acres of wheat on land
where he had applied one hundred and if
ty bushels per acre of lime right through
on all of it. Result, LIS bushels of
wheat that weighed sixty-four pounds to
the measured bushel.
Mr.. Frain soon paid for his farm and
bought another, and he told us that if he
had not used some money to buy blooded
stock, he could now pay all up for the sec
ond farm.

When Buying a Horse.

Don't buy horse of man who prides
himself on being horse jockey; he will
cheat you every time, either by not telling
the whole truth, or by allowing you to be-
lieve what is not true about the horse. A
horseman may be scrupulously honest and
reliable in everything else, but tricky in a
horse trade, In buying horse, do not be
smart and put your Judgment against the
honor and integrity of the man who is SELL
ing the horse, or he will allow you "to cut
your eyeteeth.
Never buy horse in harness; unhitch
him and take everything off but his halter.
and lead him around, says the National
Stockman. If he has stiff knees or should
ers, or has other ailments, you may be able
to discover them. Turn him loose and
get behind him, and chase him for few
minutes to see his movements. The horse
may be blind and his eyes apparently all
right; one eye may be sound and the other
one not Take the horse by the head and
back him; if he drags his toes, you may
depend upon it his shoulders are unsound.
Stand beside the horse and notice if his
knees are sprung forward; they should be
in straight line. Notice if the horse
stands firmly and squarely on every foot,
and does not change his weight from one
foot to the other, which you may know
indicates soreness somewhere.
To know if horses wind is good, give
him a run of ten minutes, and then watch
the result Ii horse stands with his feet
wide apart or straddles his hind feet in
moving, especially while pulling, there is a
fault in the loins or kidneys. Examine
the hoofs carefully with the hand. The
feet should be cool and all alike. The frog
should be as near like india-rubber as pos
sible, not dry and brittle. If the ears are
continually thrown back and eyes unkindly,
the eyes wide apart and the face dished,
the chances are the horse is very smart and
very mean.
If the horse has Il thin, narrow face,
with eyes close together, the horse is ma
tural-born fool, suspicious, ready to scare
to death at nothing, and do all sorts of fool
things. You don't want such horse for
anything. Watch out for SCARED hind
legs, as the horse is probably knicker. A
stumbling horse will probably have Scared
knees. A rough, harsh skin that sticks to
the body like the bark of tree indicates
stomach troubles. He is hearty eater,
and has fits of indigestion. To know surely
if the breathing organs are right, put your
ear at the region of the heart and lungs,
and you can tell. The breathing should
be clear, and with no wheeling sounds.
With all this, there is no man living that
will not be deceived sometimes.

A LII Who Are Suffering With

humanity-ifI did not tell of the wonderful
benefit | received from your kind treatment.
| suffered for about twenty years with Piles
for the first seven or eight years, not so
severely, but for the last twelve years | suf
fered more than | am able TO describe on
paper. Indeed had them in their severest
form. / applied TO number of doctors, and
tried every remedy that heard of, only to be
disappointed, and in nearly every instance
not even temporary relief. Indeed, | was in
a pitiful condition when / called on you.
Think of nine large tumors protruding, capable
of bleeding fully pint at every time they
bled. was SO weak and nervous from loss
of blood and from intense suffering, that L
did not think life worth living any longer.
But thanks to you and your kind treatment,
can say that the Piles are thing of the
past / cannot find language to express my
gratitude to you for your kind treatment and
attention in my case, and humbly pray to
God that your fife may be long and prosper
GUS one. Let me say in conclusion that can
with confidence recommend any sufferer, no
matter how bad his case may be, to go to
DR.. JOHN S. MATTHIAS and be cured.
You are at liberty to use this letter as you
see fit. Every sufferer wishing to know
more about my case can find out by ad-
dressing at my postoifice. Very truly yours,

Hollow Horn.

Said Mr.. J. S. Burns, at the Oakdale,
(Pa.) Institute recently:
"The time of year is near of hand when
we hear of loss from the effects of hollow
horn 1t always makes me feelsad to hear
of one of the bovine race having been re-
moved from this stage of action through the
effects of hollow horn, for little investi-
CATION is almost sure to bring to light the
fact that the true or primary cause was
hollow stomach and the remedy could have
been easily applied if done at the proper
time. This leads me to deplore the prac-
tice of calling in the neighborhood COW
doctor every time an animal is ailing. OF
course, it is well to get the advice of your
neighbor if he is a man of good, practical
common sense, but these are not generally
the men who follow the profession of COW
doctor. And if the services of thorough
ly educated veterinary cannot be had you
had better do the doctoring yourself. 1t
has been said that physician scarcely ever
administers any great amount Of medicine
to the members of his own family. The
same is true with the farmer, and if you
don't know what ails an animal it is much
the safest course to pursue. But one thing
you are generally safe in doing, is to adj
minister mild laxative, something to reg
ulate the action of the bowels and kidneys,
and other things acting in sympathy will
generally regulate themselves. / have in

and that no relief could be had until it was
loosened, and they had thoroughly mutt
lated her body from one end to the other,
and when saw her her body was puffy
and swollen, and exceedingly sensitive to
the touch, and they had still further added
to her torture with liberal application Of
turpentine along the back bone. The COW
died within AS hours, which was no sur
prise, for COW that could endure such
treatment and live would be a marvel IN
