System in Farming.

There must be a system io every busi- ness if it is to suceed, and whoever ignores a clear toresighted way of conducting farm, jug will soou have vo farming ; for if he is depending on is for a living he will be- come bankrupt, or if doing is for amuse- uient, the drain on espital will be so heavy as to cause prudence to step ia and end such « losing transaction.

§ Scme meu are +0 opivionated as to im- agiue themseives competent to manage a farm without avy lookiog forward, and they will make ivaicquate preparation for wiuter, and have nothing in readiaess by the time itis wanted, and if anything gocs wrovg, it is laid at the door of some other thau the vight person. There is nota more pitiable and coutemptible man thaa the oue who thiuks himself smarter than any oue else, and yet ruas around seeking t> charge all his shortcomings to others while he alone is to blame.

~ There are men who are too stingy to make good fences or properly repair tiose Wich are rotting or tambung down, and who yet talk about being stock farmers, ona tuey will buy grade shorthorns, grade Jerseys, mongrels -f all evlors and size, gal exp:ct the public to admire their aui- muls and believe them to be something su- perior. Now by using good pure-b ed bulls and raising the calves, improvements could be made io these grades, but those pigzardly souls will begrudge the trouble to raise the eulves, and either seil them for veul or let them go with the cow toa duiry-man.

System wou'd raiseall the heifer cilves, and by using good bulls eich generation would become better. Or avy mw with sufficient capital would commence with some real good, pure-bread stock, and breed and sell first-class animals, and thus con juct the breeding on a system of cou- tinuaily selling at double and treble the price of common stock und guluing extra profits. System, too, will cause aby mon of intelligence to have every department methodically conducted, and not to have anythiog delayed or capriciously changed f.om the rotation or regular course. But the miserable, shiftiess farmer will have a piece of plowing in the middle of a mead- ow und a ficld ut corn or graiu with no

feuce between it and the pasture, and then

every ueighbor will be compluiviog of ln jury fiom stock throuzh the bid fences. Le wiil also be so simple as to attempt to fitten, in the winter, cows which have

sen ia milk aod have lost their &esh, and perhaps some Course, thin, biy-boned

| Tho Greatest Medical Discovery since |

the Creation of Man, or since the |

Commencement of tne

Christian Era.

Tore never has been a time when tho herl+ jing of so many diferent diseases has been | caused by out ara application as the present,

It is an undiesated fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. Mecyvin’sCarsteum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledued by all who have used them, to act quicker than any Other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the

ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to | effect acure; but withthese it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will fee) its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward apylication; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porons plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enres effected by Dr. MELvIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLastTers, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have requived the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe vour own convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety foi the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and er poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters, One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to vour friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVTN’s CAPSI- ¢um Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora chem. they willbe mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
