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

every indication of an active submarine
volcano.

Perhaps the Scientific American is
right in narrowing down the controversy
whether the employment of ateam dredges

gressive or nou progressive methods are
to prevail. It would be madness for in
stance, to prevent the construction and op
eration of acottou factory because to pro
duce the same qualtity of gmals it could
turn out would give employment to a vast
number of independent hand loom weavers.
Much of the same sort of rwasoumg under
lies the oojeotion to steam dredges. Yet
the fact must not be overlooked that the

ductions of the land or sea the greater the

A'GRANI) STEEPLE CHASE.
As if there were not sufficient excitement
at the usual horse-race, these meetings on
the turf nearly always close with a grand
steeplechase. This kind of nice combines
all the excitement of the regular race, with
the super-added clement of danger which
seems to give further zest to he sport.
Horses, and good ones at that,often receive
severe injuries, which render them practi
cally useless for long periods. At least
this" was the state of affairs until owners
and breeders of fine stork began to freely
use ST. Jacobs Oil, the Great German
Remedy for man and beast. This invalu
able article to horsemen has so grown Into
favor on account of its phenomenal efficacy
in diseases of domestic animals, especially
the horse, that it would be difficult indeed
to discover a horsemen unacquainted with
Its magical potency. The Philadelphia
FAWJ llmr, in a recent issue says: " But
one of the most important development*
concerning St. Jacobs < )il is the discovery
that it has properties which are beneficial
to the animal us well as to the human
species. It has, of late, been in active de
mand among livery and others for use
on horses suffering from sprains or abra
sions. The most prominent instance known
of in tlii's connection, is that related by Mr.
David Walton, a well-known Friend, who
keeps a livery stable at 1245 North Twelfth
street. Mr. Walton states that he was
boarding a valuable horse belonging to
Benjamin MeClurg, also a resident of
North Twelfth street. A few weeks ago
the animal slipped and badly sprained his
leg, making him very lame. Mr. Walton
used two bottles of St. Jacobs Oil on the
animal and found within less than one
week, that there was no need for any more,
tor the auimal was as well as ever.

SOME INTERESTING LETTERS FROM THJ

on which he bases his
assertion that
CONSU MPTION
OA N 14 E
CURED.
Clear and explicit statement* from
well-known persons, which should
convince the most skeptical.
FROM MRS. EVENS WHO FORMERLY LIVED
AT READING, FA
Philadelphia, April %6th, 1880.
DR. J. H. SCHENCK,
DEAR SIR:—YOU will probably remember that
when I last saw you with my little daughter, that
you told me you would like to hear in regard to het
health at least once in six mouths, as she might
need more of your advice aud medicine as SHE
grew older.
My only apology for failing to call on you or to
write Is, that her health has been so good since you
cured her, that 1 was well satisfied that she was not
In need of medical attention. At the same time 1
feel that I owe you a debt of gratitude which I can
never repay, unless It L>e that I can benefit you by
giving a statement of her case for publication, and
this 1 have concluded to do, as I know it will be of
great use to others who are similarly afflicted.
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.
No one can doubt who saw her when so low, that
It was your medicines and kind attention that
saved her life.
Yours truly,
MRS. LIZZIE EVENS,

DR. J. 11. SCHKNCK ;
DEAR SIR: —About two years ago I caught a
heavy cold, from exposure after violent exercise
at my trade, iblacksniithing) and soon after was
attacked with severe bleeding from my lungs.
Sometimes 1 would raise as much as a pint of clear
blood at a time, and I have had as ninny as four
hemorrhages in one night. I had night sweats for
many mouths, was reduced in weight from 152 to
128 pounds.
I tried many cough remedies, but they only gave
me temporary relief. v\ hile at the worst, I con
cluded to call on you. You examined my lungs
and said they were tadly affected, but that if I
would follow your directions I could be cured. 1
began to use "your medicines last February, and
have continued their use to the preseut time. 1 now
find mvseU well, having gained 15 pounds of flesh
in the iast six weeks. I have no more night sweats,
hemorrhages or oough. In fact, lam feeling lietter
than I have for years. I know that 1 can never
repay you for all your kind personal ai tent ion to

informing those similarly afflicted what yonr medi
cines have done for me. IF any one wishes to call
on me, they are welcome to Jo so.

Discharged from the Army in the Last
Stages of Consumption. Cured
by Dr. Schenck's Medicines.
Statement of MR. JULIUS BOYDEN, of Provi
dence, K. L
I was discharged from the U. 9. Army In June,
1864, as an Incurable Consumptive. My discharge
reading thus : "Advanced Stage of Consumption
Of the Lungs." I WAS advised by the army sur
geon to live out doors as much ss possible. He
informed my friends that I was incurable, but that
with care I might e made comfortable for a time.
My cough was almost without cessation. 1 raised
matter from my lungs In large quantities, and I
had all the other" well-known symptoms of the dis
ease. I took many remedies without benefit. In
September I went to see Dr. Schenck, and soon
after Legan to use his full course of medicines. I
soon felt their beneficial effects, my cough growing
leas and less, and my strength coming back to me
very fast. In the following April 1 was entirely
well and came to Providence and went to work.
From that time to this, I have been entirely well,
not spending one dollar for doctors or medicines
for myself.
I therefore know that Dr, Schenck'S medicines
are good and reliable in lung diseasea My cure
was considered almost a miracle bv those who knew
IN* when I was discharged from the arm v.

WHY I HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN
DR. J. H. 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.

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,

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.

CONSUMPTION CURED.
A troii, Ohio, Feb. lTt/i, 18SL
DR. J. H. SCHKNCK :
Dear Sir Having been asked by many In regard
to your medicines, and the benent I had received
from them, 1 have concluded to give you an account
of my case. In the Winter of is.3 1 was pro
nounced an Incurable Consumptive by every phy
sician of this place, as well as several in Cleveland.
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.

DR. SCHKNCK :
Dear Sirl write this to give you an account of
my case, and to ask If your medicines will do me
any good.
/ aui forty-flve years of age, and before this sick
ness I was a strong, healthy man. I am six feet
two Inches high, and broad shouldered, my usual
weight before my sickness beuig about one hun
dred and elghty-mx pounds. The lirst indication
I had of any disease was a slight tickling in my
throat, which in a week or so developed into a
.Hacking cough. This has continued for a long
tune aud troubles me so much that I cannot sleep
at night. I have lost my appetite, and from lack
of nourishment have grown so weak that I can
walk but a short distanoe before I aui completely
exhausted and obliged to lie down. I have a great
deal of roaring and wheezing in my breast, which
leads me to llnuk that the bronchial tubes are all
stopped up. My bowels are usually costive, and I
have lost thirty or forty pounds of flesh.
Please let me hear from you soou. Yonr medi

DR. SCHKNCK ;
Dear Sir:—Please excuse me for not writing to
you before this. You will remember that when I
wrote to you last July, I was very low with Con
sumption. As soon as I received your letter I sen*
for the medicines you told me to get, that is, your
Man irake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic
Syrup, and began to use them as directed. I soon
saw a marked improvement in all my symptoms,
and after using them for some time, I was entirely
cured. lam now free from all pain and trouble
with my lungs, and weigh more than I ever did in
my life. lam very thankful to you for your atten
tion to my case, aiid I do not believe that I should
lie alive to-day out for the timely use of your medi
cines. Consumption Is in my family, my father
having died of it at the age of forty; as well as
several other members of my family. I advise all
who have Consumption or any Lung trouble to use
your remedies, as I believe them to be the best
medicines in the world. Since my recovery, I have
been told by a doctor that he did not know what
was in your medicines, but that they had cured me
of Consumption.
Yours Truly,
