AGBICULTFRAL
SOKGNRN FOB FEED.—I have never rais
ed sorghum for the purpose ef syrup-mak
ing, but I have raised it for feed, and con
sider it superior to any other forage plant
that I have ever raised in any State for
this purpose, timothy and clover not ex
cepted. 1 prepare the ground the same as
for any other crop, and drill with my when*
drill half a bushel of seed to the acre. 1
sow it from April to August Ist. If It
grows strong and tall, I cut it with a re
volving rake reaper, and, after allowing it
to wilt for several days, I bind and shock
it in large shocks till it is dried, then stack
and salt it the same aa corn-stalks, if it is
liner and shorter, I cut it with a mower
and cure it the same as hay. It takes a
long time to cure and dry out, otherwise it
will heat and spoil. The stack should be
long and narrow. The crop should stand
until ripe enough for syrup, before cutting.
It will not bleach and spoil on the ground
like hay or grain. Many let it stand with
out cutting and feed it on the ground; and
cattle and sheep will eat it clean, even the
buts and roots, leaving nothing. lam of
the opinion that the large, coarse stalks
are the best for working animals. My
horses are working and driving on half ra
tions of grain (rice aorn), and are doing
better than when I feed them hay and
corn fodder, with full rations of corn crop.
The seed is equal to corn, and will produce
as much to the acre. 1 think when well
cleaned it weighs sixty pounds to the struck
bushel. It is superior to any other dry
feed for milk cows. Our dry climate aud
winds make it easy to cure, and it stands
drought better than any crop except rice
corn.
WINTER EGGS-—TO get eggs in winter a
perfect system of cleanliness should be
practiced. The droppings should lie fre
quently removed and preserved for future
use, and while it is necessary to have the
quarters warm and the fowls protected
against the ingress of cold draughts, care
must be taken to have ventilation. A
crack in the boards, no matter h w small,
will give a whole flock the roup, and fil
thy quarters and roosts will promote a suc
cessful sweeping off by the cholera. The
food should be varied. Soft focal in the
morning and whole grain at nigbt is better
man the usual irregularities practiced. A
cncap mess can be prepared for a morning
meal by running huv through a fodder cut
ler, steeping it over night, and, after giv
ing it a warming in the morning, thicken
with meal, and feed on boards or any other
ciean ptace. It is waste fun o feed cracked
corn, or even screenings. Though seem
ingly cheeper tlmn whole grain, the differ
ence will be apparent if a comparison is
made. Avoid over-teedlng or too much
fat.' A fat hen—one extremely so—is as
useless ns ODP that has been insufficiently
fed. A moderate, changeable dit, with
good warm quarters, plenty of cracked oys
ter shells, and 6ome meat scrap* from time
to time, will give eggs in abundance in
winter; but, like all other stock on the
farm, poultry; in order to be profitable,
must receive personal supervision aud
care.

Did Him Good.
Mr. Charles H. Bauer, editor of the
above paper aud Notary Public, in a late
issue mentions the following: Patrick
Kenny, Esq., some time ago, suffered
much from rheumatism and tried almost
every means to rid himself of this painful
evil, but in vain. He was advised to use
St. Jacobs Oil, which he did so successful
ly, that all pain has left him and he is as
healthy and as strong as ever before. Mr.
Kenny is an enthusiastic advocate of Bt.
Jacobs Oil, and it has done him good.
STCCK FEED FOB FALL AND WINTER
In YH w of the certainty of the scarcity of
corn and of high prioes for all sorts of tood
for live stock during the coming fall and
winter, tanners cannot be too careful of
the supply on hand. Straw and corn fod
der are sure to be much more largely used
as supplementary feed than heretofore, es
pecially at the West, where straw and even
corn-stalks have hitherto been lightly es
teemed tor feeding purjioses in many pla
ces. During the terrible drought on the
Pacific coast a couple of years ago, when
thousands of stock starved to death, loud
regrets were heard on all sides at the fool
ish waste -and destruction of straw at
threshing time; for hod it been stacked so
as to keep well, it would have been a god
send to cattle and their owners in those
days and months of famine. Rather than
over-economize by reducing the feed of
stock too much, however, would it not be
better to weed out one's herds and flocks
and dispoeo of all inferior animals early—
before they have diminished the feed sup
ply ot those it will pay to keep? With an
imals intended for market it is more econ
omical to give thera full feed, so as 'o have
them ready for sale as soon as possible,
rathei than to reduce their ratiorß and lie
forced to keep tLem longer.
AJ PI.ES KEPT IN WATEK. —Several state
ments have teen published of the entire
success which has attended the keeping of
Winter apples under water. The experi
ment is worth repeating, observing the pie
caution of maintaining the temperature
nearly down to the freezing point. The
advantage of this practice are, first, the
exclusion of air currents; and secondly, a
temperature not liable to fluctuations, or
which cannot quickly change. So long as
the water can be kept quite cold, the
fruit will be likely to remain sound; if too
warm the ekin will swell and cracks by an
over-absorption of moisture, Grapes have
been successfully kept in the same way,
the water remaining near freezing. A
damp cellar for the fruit on shelves, is bet
ter than one so dry as to cause shriveling,
provided it is cold. If warm, decay would
be likely to commence soon.

EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The Commotio* Caused by the State
incut of a Phyeician.
An unusual article from the Roches*®
N. Y., Democrat and Chrynict'e. WHS re
published in this paper yesterday and wai
a subject of much conversation in thii
city during the day, both in professioua
circles and on the street. Apparently il
caused even more commotion iu Rochester,
as the following from the same papei
shews:
Dr. J. B. Ilenion, who is well known
not only in Rochester but in nearly every
part of America, sent an extended article
to tkta paper, a few days since which was
duly published, detailiug his remarkable
experience aud rescue from what seamed
certain death. It would be impossible to
enumerate the personal enquiries which
have been made at our office as to the va
lidity of the article, but they have been so
numerous that further investigation of the
subject was deemed an editorial necessity
With this end in view a representative
of this paper called on Dr Henion, at his
residence on Bt. Paul street, when the fol
lowing interview occurred :—"That arti
cle of yours, Doctor, has created quite a
whirlwind. Are the statements about the
terrible condition you were in, and the way
you were rescued such as you can sustain?'
"Every one of them aud many addition
al ones. Few people ever get so near the
grave as I did and then return, and 1 am
not surprised that the public think it mar
velous, Il was marvelous."
"How in the world did you, a physician
come to be brought so low ?"
"By neglecting the first and most simple
symptoms. Ido not think I was sick. It
is true I bad frequent headaches; conld
eat nothing one day and was ravenous the
next; felt dull indefinite pains and my
stomach was out of order, hut I did not
think it meant anything serious."
"But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright s dis
ease which took so firm a hold on you?"
"Anything? Why, they are the sure in
dications of the first stages of that dread
ful malady. w The fact is, few people know
or realizj what ails them, and 1 am sorry
that too few physicians do either."
"That is a strange statement, Doetor."
"But it is a true one. Tue medical pro
fession have been treating symptoms in
stead of diseases for years, aud it s high
time it ceased. We doctors have been
clipping off the twigs when we Rhould
strike at the root. The symptoms I have
just mentiontxl or any unusual action or
irritation of the water channels indicate the
approach of Bright's disease even more
than a cough announces the coming of con
sumption. We do not treat the congli,hut
try to help the lungs. We should not
waste our time trying to relieve the head
ache, stomach, pains about the body oi
other symptoms, but go directly .to the
kidneys, the source of most of these ail
ments "
"This, then, is what you meant when
i you said that more than one-half the deaths
j which occur arise from Bright'a disease, is
! it doctor ?
j "Precisely. Thousands of so called dis
eases are torturing people to-day, when in
reality It is Bright's disease in some ore *f
: its many forms. It is a Hydraheaded
: monster, and the slightest symptoms should
strike terror to every one who has them.
1 can look back and recall hundreds of
deaths which physicians declared at the
time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever
and other common complaints which i see
now were caused by Bright's disease."
"And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first ?"
"Every one ot theui, and might have
been cured as I was by the timely use of
the same remedy—Warner's Bafe Kidney
and Liver Cure. I am getting my eyes
thoroughly opened in this matter and think
I am helpiug others to see the tacts
and their possible dauger also. Why, there
are no end of truths bearing ou this sub
ject. If you want to know more about it
go and see Mr Warner himself. He was
sick the same as I, and is the healthiest
man in Rochester to-day, lie has made a
study of this subject and can give you
more facts than I can. Go, too, and see
Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the Univer
sity. If you want facts there are any
quantity of them showing the alarming in
crease of Bright's disease, its simple and
deceptive symptoms, and that there is but
one way by which it can be escaped,"
Fully satisfied of the truth and force of
the Doctor's words, the reporter bade hinT
good day and called on Mr. Warner at his
establishment on Exchange street. At first
Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent,
but learning that the information desired
was about the alarming increase of Bright's
disease, his manner changed instantly, and
he apoke very earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfqhy, and we find, by re
liable statistics, that in the past ten years
its growth has been 250 per cent. Look at
the prominent men it has carried off;
Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpen
ter, Bishop Haven and others. This Is
terrible and shoves a greater growth than
that of any ether known complaint. It
must be plain to every one that something
must be done to check this increase or
there is no knowing where it may end."
"Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.
Warmr ?"
"Hundreds of thousands. I have a
striking example of this truth which has
just come to my notice. A prominent pro
fessor in a New Orleans medical college
was lecturing before his class on the sub
ject of Bright's disease. He had various
fluids under microscopic analysis and was
showing the students what the indications
of this terrible malady were. In order to
draw the contrast between healthy and un
healthy fluids he bad provided a vial the
contents of which were drawn from his
own person. 'And now, gentlemen,' he
said, 'as we have seen the unhealthy in
dications, I will show you how it appears
in a slate of perfect health,' and he sub
mitted his own fluid to the usual test. As
he watched the results his countenance
suddenly changed—his color and command
both left him and in a trembling voice be
said : 'Gentlemen, i a painful
discovery ; I have Bright's disease of the
kidney's and in less than a year he was
dead."
"You believe then that it has no symp
toms of its own and is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with
it ?" ~
*'lt has no symptoms of its own and
very often none at all. Usually no two
people have the same symptoms aud fre
quently death is the first symptom. The
slightest indications of any kidney difficulty
should be enough to strike terror to any
oue. 1 know what lam talking about for
I have been through all the stages of kid
ney disease."
"You kuow of Dr. Henion's case ?"
"Yes, I have both read and heard of it."
"It is very wonderful is it not ?"
"A very prominent case but uo more so
than a great many others that have come
to my notice as having been cured by the
same means."
"You believe then that Bright's disease
can be cured."
"1 know it can. I know it from the
experience of huudreds of prominent per
sons who were given up to die by both
their physicians and friends."
"You speak of your own experience,
sfbal WES it ? M "A fearful one. I had
fait iamruid and uutitted for bus for
years. But I did not know what ailed me.
When, however, I found it was kidney
difficulty I thought there was little hope
and so did the dootora I have since learned
t at one of the physicians of this city
pointed me out to a gentleman on the
street one day, saying: 'there goes a man
who will be dead within a year.' 1 believe
his words would have proven true if I had
not fortunately secured and used the reme
dy now known as Warner's Safe Kidney
aud Liver (Jure,"
"And this caused you to manufacture

"No, it caused me to Investigate. I
went to the principal cities with Dr. Craig

The reporter left Mr. Warner, much Im
pressed with the earnestness aud siucerity
of his statements aud next paid a visit to
Dr. 8. A. Lattimore at his residence on
Prince Street. Dr. Lattimore, although
busily engaged upon souie matters con
nected with the State Board of Health, of
which he ia one of the analysts, courteous
ly answered the questions that were pro
pouud d him .

"And what did the symptoms Indicate?"
"A serious disease of the kidneys."
"Did you think Mr. Warner could re

"No, sir. I did not think it possible.

The Broadway Underground Bail way
project is undergoing a formidable trial be
fore the Commissioners who are to pass
upon the petition of the company for leave
to commence the construction of the line.
A large number of experts have testified
that in their opinion the work would cause
serious injury to the buildings on either
side of the street, whilo civil engineers ami
gas-light superintendents'believe that it
would be impossible to suspend or other
wise support the gas and mains safely dur
ing the construction of the tunnel. One
witness, however, Mr. R. L. Darragh,
considered that it was practicable to build
a tunnel line, although not on the ystem
proposed by the company. A portion of
the testimony taken related to the traffic
through the streets, aud witnesses were
found who had actually counted the num
ber of persons and vehicles that passed
each way past the corner of Broadway and
Walker streets, one of the most crowded
portions of the avenue, between a quarter
past seven in the morning and half past
six in the evening of u single day. The
season in which the count was made, an
important element, is uo( stated, but the
day may perhaps be taken as a fair average
of the year. On the west side the number
of foot passengers was thirty thousand
three hundred and fifty, and on the east
side twenty one thousand seven hundred
and sixty, while five thousand seven hun
dred and eleven vehicles passed up towu
and four thousand nine hundred and ninety
eight passed down town. As the hours
included in the count comprise only a
portion of the business day, a large addi
tion to these numbers must be made to
give the actual amount of traffic.
In a note by Mr. W. J. McGee on loca*
subsidence produced by an ice sheet, he
calculates that a sheet of ice three miles
thick ought to depress the crust of the
earth about 600 or 600 feet, and then he
goes on to say that the "hydrostatical
principles in accordance with which de
formations beneath a thick ice sheet must
occur equally demand that the crust should
return to its original form after the nielliug
of the ice, and it is manifest that as much
time wovJd be required to produce this sec
ondary as the primary deformation. As
suming, then, that the periods of advance
and retreat or of growth and decay of the
ice are of like duration, it follows that the
earth's surface must continue below the
normal level at any latitude after the with
drawal of the ice for as long a period as
that during which the ice remained sta
tionary at that latitude.
At a recent meeting of the Academy of
Sciences, Paris, M. D. Calladon gave an
account of some of the experiments recent

phones during thunder storms. A copper
wire was stretched between the roofs of
two houses and connected with the earth
by means of water pipes. Two telephones,
one having a rcsis'ance of 4.5 and the
other a resistance of 2.5 ohms were joined
to this wire. On the occasion of every
storm, near or remote, the flashes of light
ning were accompanied with a very char
acteristic sounu in tne telephones, at the
same instant that the flashes of lightning
were seen. The wire was evidently aflVc
ted by induction.

phowing that the cost of propelling a street
car by a battery is one third less than if
the same work were done by horses, and
he did not take into consideration the S2OO
of capital sunk in the purchase of each

There Is Nothing Certain
except death, and that is now rendered ex
tremely uncertain by the discovery of an abso
lutely certain cure for the most painful of all
bodily aiimeuUi, Piles. For 3 000 years, quacks
and medical men have rivalled each otner In
torturing the miserable sufferers by that ter
rible disease with all manner of barbarous, ig
norant aud useless nostrums aud devices, and
might still have gone on for a thousand more
years but for the discovery of Anakeeis by Dr.
Hilsbee. We seldom puff snch things, but any
man or woman who has ever suffered the
agony of Pries, will thank us for oalling at
tention to an almost infallible remedy for this
dreadful disease. 500,000 afflicted sufferers
testify to its unparalleled virtues. Doctors of
all me lical schools endorse and use it. It is
at once the triumph and admiration of the
age; simple, safe, prompt and permanent, it
relieves pain at once, supports and oom
pres-os the tumors aud ultimately cures the
worst cases of Piles, no matter of how long
standing. Absolute infallibility is not possi
ble. but medical science bas nothing more
nearly BO thau "Anakesis." It is the discovery
of Dr. 8. Silsbee,an accomplished chemist and
practicing physician, after 40 years' study and
exper.euce. Samples of 4 Anakesis" are sent
free to all sufferers by P. Neustaedter A CO.,

BT. JACOBS OIL is a fhvorite remedy With these

them. Captain Schmidt, of TompklnsVlllS,
Staten I-land, N*. Y„ says that he bas been a
great sufferer from rheumatism for many years
He bad severe rheumatic pains In nearly every
Eortion of his body, and suffered so that at times
e would be entirely unable to attend to active
business. He said: "I am quite well now. how
ever, and, as you see, I am able to work Without
any trouble. I attribute my recovery entirely to
ST. JACOBS OIL, for I felt better as soon as I com
mencd to use that remedy; and whenever I soei
anything like rheumatism coming on, I rub the
plate with the OIL, and It always does what Is
claimed for it. Finding ST. JACOBS OIL did mo so
much good, I got my family to use it whenever
they had any pains or colds, and It hasdonejgood
in every case when they have tried It. Fcan
say that ST. JACOBS OIL IS a mighty good rfcCu
matic remedy, and I don't intend to be without it"
This experience is such as has been enjoyed not
only by yachtsmen and others, who follow the
water, but by people In every walk of life aud
