Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be gnite so rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain. Itead these testimonials :—
‘* For two years T suffered from a se- vere pain in my a side, and had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benetited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- ‘letely cured?’— John W. Benson, 70
wrence st., Lowell, Mass.
Last May a large carbuncle broke out onmy arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. Acfriend induced me to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my expe- rience with medicine, I never saw more
Wonderful Results.
Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my
sight.””"— Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.
. “T had a dry scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly ; and, as my broth- er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months.” —T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.
. “Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely enred.’’—Mrs. Augusta A. Furbush, Haverhill, Mass.

It is when the virgin soil is brought under cultivation and robbed of its original element that the science of agricultural chemistry will be indispensable to the farmer. The time will come when to at- tempt the successful management of a farm, large or small, without considerable prac- tical knowledge of that science will be a failure.
Our Local Government boasts of the
withstanding its circuitous ronte, afforded ample accommodation for boats on different occasions, and this fact alone was a _ sufli- icent guarantee of the success of the pre- sent enterprise. He also strengthened his opinions by referring to similar under- takings in other parts of the Island he had visited, and which were a source of great convenience to the people,
Allan C. McDonald was one of the party who, more than thirty years ago, opened a boat harbor in the same place as at present contemplated, and had the satisfaction of seeing boats come in and go out, loaded; and were it not for some obstructions placed in its course, it would be to-day a first-class harbor for boats. He had every confidence in the repairing of said harbor.
Leo McDonald was also one of the party who assisted in opening the old harbor, and felt confident that if its course was not ar- rested by parties then opposed to it, it would have been a great success. He gave the present enterprise his hearty sup-
ort.
Jos. Mellick showed the great advantages

Nothing that I am aware of, excepting the paltry sum offered for prizes atour annual exhibitions, and the tew live animals kept on the Stock Farm for breeding purposes. Private competi-

will give a new impetus to its management.
In the neighboring States, in 1861, an endowment fund of tifteen and a half mil- lion dollars was set aside to establish a College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in each State of the Union. The whole of this money was to be invested in safe securities, and the interest, only, used for the maintenance of the several institu- tions.
Practical agriculture is taught in all its various branches; and an lxperimental Farm in connection, devoted to the testing of fertilizers and experiments in the culti- vation of all farm crops, fruits, trees, and the rearing and feeding of stock, the test- ing of agriculture and commercial seeds, to determine their vitality and purity.
The improved grains, potatoes and seeds of all kinds tested on these farms, are sent to applicants engaged in agriculture, in the, order of their application, on receipt of sufficient money or stamps to cover cost of mailing and packing. In 1886, Congress voted a further sum of $15,000 to each College and experimental station in every State, to be devoted to the furthering of these great national industries.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I trust you will call the attention of the proper auth- orities to the suggestions in this letter, so that agricultural education may have a prominent place in our public schools.

Agricultural Fire Insurance Co.
Str,—I beg leave, through your widely cir- culated journal, to call the attention of those farmers who have not yet insured in the Farwers’ Mutual, to the advantages of that company. The charter was obtained in 1885, and there is a large amount of property in- sured already. The risks have heen taken with so much caution that no losses have yet happened. As only first-class property is in- sured, the risk is much less than where all sorts are taken; and the premium only 20 cents on $100 for three years is proportion- ately small. This is less than half charged by companies which take doubtful risks. Through the labors of Hon. Alex. Laird, President of the company, and the enterpriging and ener- getic farmers who assisted him, the Island has now a Mutual Insurance Company which affords perfect security in case of loss by fire or lightning. There is not only enough money to pay all probable losses, but all those who are insured are liable. The direc- tors are wealthy men, who have given their labor free. The manager, R. McC. Stavert, Esq., of the Summerside Bank, is a capable and reliable business man.
Yours truly, Robert STEWART.
