Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Ridel
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for a man at his
time of life to go about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and he likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases, aside from the willing
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. II
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past 20 years the most efficient
thing in the world.
ANY person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
ey Dc Palen, 1929 Arch Street,

Household Pests.

The Experiment Station at Burlington
has Just published three bulletins; No. 43
Household Pests; No. A, Spraying Orchards
and Potato Fields; and No. Al, Analysis of
Commercial Fertilizers.
No. 43, Household Pests. A brief descrip.
ton. with illustrations, of the buffalo beet
lie and clothes moths, together with the re-
NEEDLES which may be best used to combat
them. This bulletin will certainly prove
of much service to many hOusekeepers who
are troubled with these insects.
No A, Spraying Orchards and Potato
Fields. The principal points summarized in
this bulletin are:
1. The scabbIng and tracking Of orchard
fruits is fungoUs disease and may be pre-
vented by spraying the trees with Bordeaux
mixture The market value of the fruit
thus sprayed by the Station in 1894 from
one-fourth TO One-half.
2. While there was but little loss in 1894
from blights OF rot of potatoes at the Sta
ton, owing to dry weather, yet the BOr-
deaux mixture spraying prevented injur-
les by flea beetles and grass hOppers and
proved profitable investment.
3. Potato scab is fungOus disease, and
may be prevented by selecting clean soil,
using proper fertilizers, planting clean
seed only and by disintecting scabby seed
with corrosive sublimate solution. The
later process added fifty per cent to the
yield of marketable potatoes on one Station
plot in 1894.
No. As, Analysis of Commercial FertiI,
ger. This bulletin contains analysis of
fifteen samples OF his years goods. They
are the leading brands of all but two of the
manufact arers licensed to sell in this State
The analyses and guaIan'ees are compared

mined. a schedule of trade values agreed
upon by the Experiment Stations of the
New England AMI Middle States is given
and discussed. II Is expected to issue three
