heard by Judge Cleveland in the pro-
bate court last night. Judge Henry
Stoddard of this city, counsel for Mrs

pound. It is remarkable medicine,
different in action from any I ever
knew and thor oughly reliable.
81 have seen many cases where
women doctored for years without per-
manent benefit, who were cured in less
than three months after taking your
Vegetable Compound, while others who
were chronic and incurable came out
cured, happy, and in perfect health
after thorough treatment with this
medicine. l have never used it myself
without gaining great benefit. A few
doses restores nay strength and appe-
tite, and tones up the entire system.
Your medicine has been tried and
found true, hence fully endorse it."

A TINE ART.

The artificial feeding of sheep in an
Autralian drouth has almost assumed
the dignity of a fine art. In many a
squatter's run the stock are dependent
on what is given them: and the most
approved ration appears to be half a
pound of wheat and half a pound Of
hay per day-fed in the forenoon if pos
sible with a little cut scrub in the af-
ternoon for them to MUNICH over. The
distribution is done from spring carts,
the grain being shoveled out over as
wide an area as possible. The animals
pick it up, like poultry in a yard the
stuff being always spread in hard
ground, as it is rejected If mixed with
the soil. Abundance of rock salt is
strewed about the paddocks, and water
is also artificially supplied, where other
has failed. AS to cost, that is some
thing like ~ cents per week, which soon
mounts up where scores of thousands
go to constitute a single flock.-COuntry
