The Kriack that Farmers Need.)

te

Young mea going to farming, or old|

road, might as well understand at once that a successful paper, a successfull merchant, or a successful farmer, is never | made to order. Rarely, indeed, has any | one made money in the exact way. he expected to make it. There) may be the general plav, and this may be | carried out pretty nearly as mapped ; but | the filling in, the detail, comes after. | The one who succeeds, asa general thing, is the one who has the knack of seizing on circumstances as quickly as they arise, | and tursiug them to good advantage. |

To most of the successful farmers, too, are those who fixed themselves tolerably closely to one place. The may not have aeted with the best judgment in locating themselves ; but instead of trying to mend this error, undertook to make the best of, it. It is almost impossible for any mar, let him be ever so experienced a farmer, to teil at once what his ground is best fitted for under an experience of two or three years; but when once that know- ledge is gained, he can push this more and more every year; and it is these special superior productions which tell. Besides all this, what a farmer is going to get for his crops is of as mueh impor-

for that matter, starting on the el TO] THE WES] | a

tance to him as the ability of the soil tof

bring them to perfection ; and this mar- ket knowledge is also a thing of growth, which one can rarely tell to another.

In brief the successful farmer is the one who knows how to feel his way. To such a one it is impossible to tell what he should grow. He wust begin carefully, and find out for himself.—(Germantown Telegraph.

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

‘ENTIRELY FREE | FROM ALCOHOL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at once a palatable and innocuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished ; for although the 7'onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised in the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- quent upon the Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency.

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineglassful, and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics.

enthusiastic horticuiturist could not but admire and and envy. ‘The groth of the trees was most vigorous, and the foliage remarkably luxuriant; the fruit was: abundant, of large size, and free from worms and other imperfections. The ex" cellence was accounted for by the pro- prictor who remarked that the “hens ate all the worms and curculio in their reach, even the canker-worm. He found less trouble with their roosting] in trees than he expected, and that a picket fence six feet high kept them within bounds. His

Taey are occasionally found on ail parts ofthe horse. There are some caustics available, but frequently they must be removed by operation. If the pedicile or -stem is somewhat large, a ligature of waxed silk should be passed firmly round it, and tightened every day.

The source of nutriment being thus re- moved, the tumor will, in a short time, die and drep off. If the warts are large, or in considerable clusters, it will be necessary to cast the horse, in order to cut them off close to the skin; the root should be seared with a red hot iron. Unless these precautions are used the warts will speedily sprout again.— JVest- ern Rural.

An excited orator is reported to have exclaimed, ‘‘ 1 guess thereain’t a man, woman or child in the house who has ar- rived at the age of fifty years but what has felt this great truth thundering through his or its mind for centuries.”

Never witness a tear with apathy or indifferavee. Words, looks, actioas—all may be artificial ; but a fear unequivocal it comes from. the heart, and speaks at once the language of truth, nature, and sincerity.

A farmer wrote as follows to a distin- guished svientific agriculturist, to whom he felt under obligations for introducing avariety of swine: * Respected Sir—t went yesterday to the cattle show.

CATARRE.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear-what a Reverend Gentleman sys of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

DEAR Srr—Itis now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.”

I was afilicted in my head for years before ] suspected it to be Catarrh, In reading in your Circular I saw my case deseribed in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing mé from lying long,

|] would feel like smothering and be compelled

to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had uzel two boitles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late IT have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sutierers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsoliated, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper, Yours tenly, .

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.

Port Elgin, Gnt., Aug. 24, 1878.

Ask for Littiefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or sinee the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CAPsicumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged 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 a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physieiansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dn. MrLvin’s Capsicum Porocs PLASTERS, and their superiority over a}l other plasters, they now —— prescribs them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly belieye yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. lthough powerful and

uick in its action, you can rejy on its safety

or the most delicate person to wear, as it is

free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial isa sufficient guarantee of its merits, and oue plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvrx’s CApsI- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to guy address in the United States or Canadas.
