AGRICULTURAL. SCAB IN SWEEP. —Scab in sheep is a dis ease caused by an insect burrowing under the skin, and is perfectly curable by the following methods; Get a lot of tobacco stems, or, if these are not to be had, get one pouud of plug tobacco; steep this in one and a half gallons of water until the strength is well extracted and the quantity is reduced to one gallon : to this add one fouith ounce of crude carbolic acid. If the sheep have the disease only in patches, remove the weol from the diseased spots and well around, so a* to expose the surface beyond any infection; use a stiff soft brush —a large stencil brush is best—and, applying the decoction, brush as well into all sort s, being sure to break up all Bcabs or pustules so as to work plenty of tne remedy into all diseased places. Having flour ot sulphur in a dredging- ox, dust it into and over the sore aud brush it in lightly. One treatment, if thoroughly made, will usually cure the worst case, but it is well to look them over agaiu in two weeks. If it is shearing tune, aud the sheep have been shorn when you wish to treat them, then make a large quantity, but not so strong, aud having broken up all scabs and sores on the sheep, take them by the legs aud dip them tojily into the medicine. After treatment it is oest to remove to new pastures or new pens for a time, for this reason: the scab insect is ver" liable to remain attached to any object against which the sheep have rubbed, and thus be again taken by the sheep. [Sparta (Wis.) Lierald.] As an exhibition ot the intrinsic worth of St. Jacob's Oil, we think the case re ferred to, that of Mrs. O. W. Hubbard, of this towu, cured of Sciatic Rheumatism of long standing by the Oil, is certainly strik ing, and, bcyoud all doubt, conclusive as ♦o its emcacy. The remedy has our in dorsement. GARGET . —Cows that are fat at the time of calving are more subject to congestion ot the udder than those in a poorer state. .Neglecting to give proper attention to the milking is another cause. Inflammation seldom ever attacks the whole of the udder, but it is confined to one or two quarters, and is indicated by swelling, increased heat, pain and redness, aud by alteration in the milk, which is curdied, whey-like and sometimes mixed with blood. The general treatment is to give a moderate purge -say Epsom Salts 1 lb.; powdered Jamaica ginger oz. ; water 1 pint; mix tor one dose. Drinking water should be limited and dry food given, so as not to encourage the milK supply. The milk should be fre qient'y drawn sway with the hand or a teat syphou, The inflamed udder should be well fo mented with hops and water for at least one hour night and morning, and after each fomentation some of the following liniment should be freely applied over the bag: Camphorated oil 8 ozs. ; fluid ext. Bella.lonna 4 ozs.; mix. To REGULATE THE BEARING OF APPLE TREES. —Tins is a perennial subject of d'S cussion, but no suggestion in regard to it has ever been made practical except the one which dictates careful attendance and the moderate annual pruning of tne trees, with high fertilization o f the soil. All the famously productive apple trees on record have stood in a rich soil, moist, but not wet. Careful piuning, manuring and mulching will, as nearly as possible, secure good annual crops from apple trees of any variety worthy of cultivation. UDder this system a small orchard of W illiaru's Favo rite near Boston is the chief support of a family. Thirty-eight trees of Faiueuse in a city lot of about half an acre in Montreal, produced, in 1579, fruit that stld for SSOO, aDd the crop ia rarely much leas. Th*e facts point to the remedy for the sby or in termittent bearing when the variety is Naturally productive. [St. Louis Chromc.e.] Trial by Jury. Some believe tnat even this form of trial is not perfectly free from prejudice. But in our section. St. Jacob's Oil has been tried by that great jury —the public—and been jodged the infallible cure for Rheum atism and all painful diseases. DUCKS.— LeS is known about the diseases of c ucis than of fowls. They are, in our experience, best batched by hens and kepi in a dry pen lcr several weeks. Give pleDly of grass, frequently renewed, keep wattr always belore them in shallow ves sels, and feed often. A pen of boards a foot hich, covered with laths nailed across the top. with one corner or one end covered, to exclude rain, is all that is required. This pen should be frequently shifted upon dry, grassy ground. If one is noticed 1110- piDg, swelled up, or out of sorts in any way, give soaked bread and milk, red with cayenpe pepper. The best are Roueos, Aylesburya, Pekics and Black Cayugas. Points of excellence for common purposes are the size and number of eggs. TEE farmers of the country, if they would act individually or organize them selves into forestry clubs, could, in a very little while, awaken a widespread interest in tree planting. The advantage of such clubs are highly appreciated in the treeless regions of the West and JNortnwest. Many of them have been organized, and through their efforts millions of trees have been set out, with an already manifest effect upon the water courses and the humidity of the atmosphere. ONE of the best farmers of Worcester, Masa, saves all liquid manure in a cistern so made that no gases can escape to pol lute the atmosphere of the stables. The amount of fertility that is annually wasted in the form of liquid manure is enormous, and a means to prevent this great waste should be generally adopted by farmers. A FARMER of Milton, Ya., cut eight tons of good hay this year from three acres of land that in 1879 was a bog meadow too wet to go upon. The means used were drainage, pulverized surface and seeding. There are numerous other bog meadows which by a similar treatment might be made to yield profitable crops where now they are but a nuisance. TOADS are reco r nized by many leading farmers and gardners as important helps which they render in destroying insect pests which prey upon growing crops du ring the summer months. In Paris there is a weekly sale of toads, which are brought in casks filled with damp moss. One hundred good toads are worth from sls to sl7. They are bought for gardens. AN English gardener recommends the white clover {Trifolium repena) as a hanging basket plant for winter, claiming that it is easy of culture, quickly makes large plants and looks well from Christmas on yards. MANURE snould be forked over occasion ally to make it fine. If it is heating, muck or loam should be mixed with it to absorb the ammonia which is formed during the process of decomposition. At the northern end of the Bay of Plen ty, ftew Zealami, there was lately seen every indication of an active submarine volcano.

In 1875 my daughter, who was then eight years of age, contracted a heavy cold, which soon settled on her lungs. The doctor whom I employed at that time told me that her lungs were affected. She had severe pain in her side and night sweats ; and, as she had no appetite, she soou wasted away to almost a skeleton. Every une could see at this time that she was fast going with consumption. Both my husband aud myself were very much pre judiced against all patent medicines, and although we had heard of many cures performed by your remedies, we delayed using them or getting your advice until she had tieen given up by ail the doc tors we had cousulted. We were living in Reading, Pa., at this time, and when we Informed our friends that we had con cluded to go to Philadelphia with our little daugh ter to get your advice, they all said that we were foolish to do so, as they did not think she could live to get there. She was indeed very low. W'e carried her all the way on pillows, and when we arrived at jour office, it really seemed to us that it would be like raising one from the dead if you cured her. After an examination you said it vw possible to cure her. W'e commenced to give your medicines that day, and In a few days after her appetite began to improve rapidly. Some weeks after this a swel ling came on her side which grew very large and finally broke, discharging large quantities of matter. This continued for a long time, but as her appetite was continually improving, and she was apparently gaining strength, we continued the use of the medicines as you directed. Her night sweats and pain soon left her. Although she gained very slow, she finally entirely recovered ; in fact she has had tratter health since her recovery than ever before.

SCHENCK AND HIS MEDICINES. Dnring the past two years, my mother and brother have died of Consumption. I was myself quite unwell most of this lime, and when; shortly after their death, I was attacked with cough and severe hemorrhages, I naturally concluded that I was des tined to go with the same disease. I immediately consulted a physician, who made a specialty of lung diseases. After examining mo, he said that he thought my lungs were sound, and that I would soon recovet In less than a week after this, I had another severe hemorrhage. Thinking that my physician had made a mistake in my case. I con sulted another doctor. He thought my lungs af fected, and prescribed for me for a long time. I got no better under his treatment, but generally worn. My cough was very bad, my appetite en tirely gone, I had severe pain in my right aide, and for months I did not sleep more than iwo or three hoars in a night. My tongue was heavily coated and I had a bad taste in my mouth. I'had the headache almost all the time. Feeling that something must be done, I at last concluded to consult with Dr. Schenck, the physi cian who, I think, I have good reason to believe to be the best in the treutment of lung disease. I went to his office in Hoston, and was examined. He found ray left lung quite badly diseased, and my bver seriously affected. He told me that 1 could be cured If j would follow his directions. Of course, 1 consented to do so, and I very soon was satisfied that my confidence In his ability was well placed. I took the Mandrake Pills, Sea-Weed Tonic and Pulmonic, Syrup all at one time, as directed by him, and within one month my worst symptoms were gone. I went to see the Doctor on his next visit to Boston, which was one month after the drat time I saw him, and he said, 44 Only continue with the medicine and you will surely get weH." I did so, and kept on gaining in every way until I was per fectly well, and aide to work as usual. Since my recovery I have not lost a day's time, except when 1 have made friendly visits to the Doctor at his Boston office. My cough Is gone, my appetite Is good, I have no headache or pain In my side, I sleep better than I ever did In my life, iuid my lungs are apparently healed, as I have no hemor rhages These are the reasons why I believe In and re commend Dr. J. H. Scheuck and his medicines. He did just what he said he would do for rne, and I believe that I owe my life to his medicines and care. FRKD. F. TRULL, Hudson, Mass., May 86,1881. Chronic Irritation of the Throat Cured. Philadelphia, August 18fft, 1880. DK. J. N. SCHKNCK: Dear Mir:—For several years I was troubled with a chronic Irritation in my "throat, so that every time 1 took a little cold I commenced to cough, and as I took cold very easily, I was coughing more or less every day from November to May. In Feb ruary, 1562, 1 saw one of your pamphlets, which told what the Pulmonic Syrup would do. I bought a bottle of it. although 1 hail not much faith in It. and in three days my cough entirely left me; but I kept a bottle of the Syrup In my house for two or three years, so that whenever I took cold, or had a little tickling In inv throat, 1 would take a small swallow of it wnen I went to bed, and that was the last of it. My throat now is. and has been for several years, as well as It ever was, and I now seldom take cold, or If I do. It only lasts some twenty-four hours. Thanks to the Pulmonic Syrup. 1 have recommended it to a great many persons in the last eighteen years, and it has given general satisfaction. Very respectfully Yonrs, E. HAVEN No. 1636 North 21st St., Philadelphia, Pa. From MR. JOHN HERTZI.ER, Residence, 1302 Master St., Philadelphia. DR. J. H. SCHRNCE : Dear Sirl am anxious t hat others should know of the great curative properties of your medicines. For three years 1 was afflicted with a constant cough, accompanied by an expectoration of ropy phlegut. My cough was so bad that I could sleep very little, day or night. I lost my appetite, aud was very much reduced in flesh, and was so weak that It was as much as I could do to walk a square. 1 used all the remedies that were recommended by friends, and many that 1 saw advertised In the papers, but received no relief from their use. At last, 1 was taken with a severe hemorrhage, which reduced me still more. Soon after this my wife procured one of your books, aud reading the de scription of my disease in it, she insisted on my giving your remedies a trial. My daughter, who resides in Albany, N. Y., also wrote about this time, that she had heard of several cures tuere by their use; and so 1 was induced to use them. I began by using all three of your medicines at one tune, as you direct: that is. the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic aud Pulmonic Syrup. I could see that they were doing me good from the first—uiy appetite improved, 1 became gradually stronger, and my cough was so much better that I could rest quite comfortably all night, a thing I have not done before in many month*. Now, after using the medicines tor "about six weeks, lam welL I con sider your remedies as magical in their effects, and I write yuu this letter that others inay know of their great curative qualities in diseases of the throat and lungs. 1 shall tie pleased u> have any one who is afflicted, call on or address me.

I had all the symptoms—cough, night-sweats, great lebillty and loss of flesh. J was reduced m weight from one hundred and fifty pounds to eighty r rands. I had given up all hope of reoovery, when was told by Mr. James Scanlan that he hail used vour medicines with good effect, and he advised me to give them a trial, although I do not think he believed they would care me. for I was so sick at this time that no one thought that I would ever get welL I thought however, that they might give me temporary relief, and with this object I commenced to use your Pulmonic Syrup. I had not taken It two day's before I felt great relief, especially in the severity of my cough. I then took the Mandrake Pills and Seaweed Tonic, and In two weeks iny ap petite came hack, and 1 tx-gan to gain strength. I took your medicines for about three months. I was too sick to do any kind of work for two years. Vour medicines made a perfect cure, and I have been in good health ever since. Ido not know that I can say more than this, unless it lie that 1 believe your medicines to be good, and that they will do ail that you say they will do. Yours verv Truly, J. A KEILLY.
