AYER’S Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured.

It checks falling of the hair, and stimnu- lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladies’ Hair Dressing, the Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts # delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume.

Mz. C. P. BRIcuER writes from Kirby, O. July 3, 1882: ** Last fall my hair commen falling out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AYER’S HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall- ing of the hair, and starved a new growth. I

. have now a full head of bair proving vigor- ously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation 1 should have been entirely bald.”

J. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says : “ AYER’S HAIR VIGOR is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The V1GoR is also a@ sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction.”

Mr. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the celebrated * Fairbairn Family” of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1880: “Ever since my hair began to give sil- very evidence of tho change which fleeting time procureth, I have used AYER’sS HAIR Viaor, and so have been able to maintain an ne arance of youthfulness—a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora- tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives in the eyes of the public.”

Mrs. 0. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, 1882, says: “Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast gro bald. On using AYER’Ss HAIR Yieor the falli one and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, and is now as good as before itfeli. I regularly used but one bottle of the’ViGor, but now use it yas a dressing.”

We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of AYER’s Harem Vicor. It needs but a trial to convince the most skepti- eal of its value.

On the Western Shore.

BLOOMFIELD is just the pattern of a wesat- ern station,—half a dozen whitened houses and a sawmill situated on the border of a swamp. We left the railway here and took the carriage road to Campbelton. It pasres through much low and wet lard, inter- spersed however with drier swells, shadow- ed with majestic forests, or golden with ripened hervest fields. There is much superior land in this western country, ‘although swamps and bartenos abound in | places, especially along the line of railroad | We passed through some of these regular | western barrens, and had an opportunity of studying their geological strue.ure. They oecupy broad, shallow depressions of the country, and are underlaid by a stratuna of compact, impervious red clay, four or five feet in thickness. This does not form part of the regular boulder formation, but is a subsequent deposit resting upou the more open and irregular mass of common drift material

THBSE BARREN CLAYS

are probably of the same age as the Leda clay of Canada, and were deposited when the land had eunk beneath the green depths of the frigid boulder sea. Ice floe and glaciers had done their work in deposit- ing and kneeding together the heterre- genous materials of the boulder clay, and now, in the silent depths of waters, in the very

MIDNIGHT CF THE GLACIEL SUBMERGENCE,

the impalpable red sediment settled down to spread a level floor of plastic clay over the submarine depressions. It was at this time too, when icebergs careered at will through the open gulf, that the travelled blocks of granite, greenstone, quartzite and other primary rocks were scattered over the surface of our Island. The western parts of the Island received an unusual share of these, because it was in the line of the northern drift current which then pass- ed out over the low isthmus of Chignecto Among the low serub of birch and wil- low on the barrens, I sawa number of yellow Redpele Warblers, These birds are rare in the Island gonerally, though abundant im the neighboring Provinces. There must be something in barren life that sti's thse yellow vested dainties. Flocks of Tit-larks were also on the shore fields. CAMPBELTON is a straggling village, with some neat dwellings and a number of fish buildings scattered round a shallow inlet of the Western shore. The country round is flat and uninteresting. But the well-cleared farms, the tidy residences in the village, and the general stir «f the fishing business make this bamlet by the sea home-like and not unattractive. Mackerel fishing is briskly pursued in the cold though turbid waters of this coast, and there are twenty lobster factories from North Cape to West Point. We went to THE SHORE,

a little north of Campbellton and pursued | it six miles to Miminigash. The coast runs nearly in a line with the strike of the strata, and horizontal bars of red sandstone and shale run all along the straight un- broken line of cliffs, ranging from thirty to sixty feet in height. There is a slight in- clination of the beds inland, for this coast is on the eastern side of a great anticlinal, which extends its whole length, crosses the Straits into New Brunswick, and runs away to the southwestern part of that Province. The finer sandstones and shales here con- tain many

cordates and branchlets of walchia. Some of them are like fine steel prints, and prints they are—nature prints, executed long ages before Faust thought of arranging his rude blocka to imitate the fertile human art.

The most abundant fern is Peopteris arborascens. It was a large, thiek-leaved fern, and left very distinct impressions of its rigid, triply pinaate fronds. I saw rem- nants of a frond ten feet long and four feet broad. ‘There are also species of Cyclop- and

teris, Neuropteris, Sphenopteris Alethopteris.

THE CYCLOPTERIS was a very beautiful, delicate fern, with large rounded pinnules, marked by the most exquisite system of curved vein-

lets concentrating in the line of the midrib, as regular as the turned lines on the back of a watch,

The Sphenopteris wasa very distinctly marked fern, with crowded, sphenoid, obovate pinnules, curved gracefully towards the midrib. We have no modern ferns of equal beau'y with these; and yet they

belonged to an age in which some men tell

us living forms were yet imperfect, and but partly developed!

I had spent al! the afternoon on the wind beaten shore. With the strong westerly breeze, the whole coast waz a seething mass of foaming fbreakers, tearing up the red mud far out from the shore. Not a fishing sail had dared to leave shelier that day. And when the sun, with a faint glimmer of golden light, had sunk beneath the wild sea horizon, and twilight shadows darkened over headland and sounding shore and rest- less deep, and the west wind lulled with depar ing day, I retreated to seek a com- fortable rest in one of the hospitable homes of this thriving district.

The whoie of the next day I was on shore among its

Holstein Cattle.

To the Rditor of the Live Stuck Journal

Sir,—Being deeply interested in Dairy Cattle, I have been at a loss to understand why the Dutch breed, known here as Holstein, has not sueceeded in England. We have thoroughly tried the various dairy breeds here, incinding Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Shorthorn, Devon, Swiss, &c., but have none equal to tne Dutch in pro- ducing milk, cheese and butter, A Holstein cow, Mercedes, won the championship prize cup, with her record of 99 ibs. 64 ozs. of unsalted butter in 30 days, competing with all breeds and grades. Though some Jersey records for short periods are unsurpassed, none of them have ever made 207 ibs. 34 ozs. in 60 days, nor 304 lbs. 54 ozs. of un- salted butter in 90 days, both of which records were made by Aggie 2nd, a Holstein. She aver- aged 1 1b. of butter to 20.74 lbs. of milk during the

entire 90 days. I enclose other records which may be of interest to your dairymen. . DUDLEY MILLER,

Oswego, N. Y., August 28th.

(We print the records sent by Mr. Miller. and we would be glad if some of our readers would kindly favor us with their experiences of the Dutch cattle.—Ed L. 8. J.)

Mr. Dudley Miller, of Oswego, N. Y., who is thoroughly familiar with the topic on account of his cflicial position, being Holstein Inspector of all imported cattie offered for registry in the Holstein Herd Book, furnishes the Republican with the following reliable data onthe subject of Holstein cattle :—

‘*This breed of cattle imported from Holland, whic! is attracting so much atten- tion, is nemarkable in that it is profitable, first, asa milk producer; second, for the manufacture of cheese; third, for batter; and last, but not least, for beef. These four paying qualities are possessed by the Holstein breed a greater degree than any other, which has been clearly demon- strated by men who have bred it with per- severance and intelligence. The following records made by animals of the Holstein

to

breed are unsurpassed :—Jamaica, 112 lbs. milk in 1 day; Etelka, 101 Ibs. in 1 day; Empress (Hoiland record), 109 ibe. in 1

day; Echo, A®gis, Johanna, Ondine, and many others from 80 to 90% lbs. in a day. Thomas B. Weles, Jr.’s, cow, Mercedes, won the champiouship of the world in pro- dueing 99 Ibs. 64 oze. of butter in 30 days. Mr. Wales Jaap 4th, weighed 1,200 Ibs. at 11 months old, and at the time the greatest gain in live weight on record, viz., 54 Ibs. per day for 30 days in succession. Mr. E. A. Powsll reports Rugby Prince as gaining 148 ibs. in 21 days over 7 lbs. a day.”

Little Rich Men.

—

The late Emory A. Storrs was once being chaffed by a party of millionaires, when he said: ‘‘ Yourich fellows appear to think that money making is an intellectual pro- cess, and that the wealth acquired by you proves that you are very siiperior men. You are very much wistaken. There is nothing intellectual in acquis:tiveness. It is merely an animal trait, It is less highly developed in you, gentlemen, than it is chipmunk, The beaver is

a pauper, and the other, Croesus, because his name has been used by poets as ea synonym for great weal Gentlemen, where are the stockholders who built the Pantheon? Doubtless in their day they gat around in Athens and spoke of the fine work Phidias was d ipg for them. But,

Of these, 195 were children under 5 years of age, 53 be- tween 5 and 10 years, forming a total pum- ber of 248 small children. This is a fearful story to tell, but it is'a weekly occurrence and not an exceptional instance. When we consider that the great majorily of these litte children were not vaccinated, surely we are justified in laying the cause of death at the door of their parents, who, to main- tain a theory cruelly forced upon them by medical mountebanks and charlatans, have neglected to use the only safeguard against a disease known to ecience. Parents have a great responsiblity resting on their souls, Their offspring are too young to know what they should do. By not having their little ones properly vace nated fathers and mothers are openly sacrificing their own flesh and blood to the deatroyer.— Lz. —-—- >
