FOR THE FARM AXB HOME. About Dogs. If the farmers of the country who own worthless dogs—curs without any breeding—could be induced to destroy them and substitute one well-bred shepherd pup, pot more, to each farm, the wealth of every farming commu nity would bo vastly increased in many ways. Farmers with a little tact in getting along with a dog would soon find the colly saving them many a step. Eager and anxious to learn, willing to do anything within his power, the young dog needs only a wise and patient restraint, an intelli gent direction, to become the most useful hand on the place.— Breeders' Gazette. Wooden Silos. The opinion is steadily gaining ground, backed by the actual test, that wooden silos are not only practi cable, but in many cases are preferable to an expensive stone structure. Water sometimes works into the latter, and frost may combine with it to work injury to the ensilage. Simply board ing up a bay in the barn is getting to be a popular way of making silos, and there is little objection to it. That ensilage will keep well in such a con cern there is no doubt, and why may not the average farmer try the new system in this way rather than invest in a costly stone silo?— New England Homestead. Destroying Tree Insects. A writer in Vh'k's Monthly says': As an evidence of the need of apply ing a soap and carbonic mixture twice, if not three times, in a season, to the stems of peach and plum trees, mountain ash, Japan and other quinces, I will mention that although eggs appear to be laid in June, render ing it necessary to wash in the begin ning of that month, I have found eggs laid, or at least hatched, as late as October first: for. having set some side grafts in the collars of peach and plum stocks at about that date, many of them were found eaten out by the newly hatched .larva?, when the grafts were examined ten or fifteen days later. The eggs of the borers that affect the apple, quince, Siberian crab, and mountain ash, hatch usually in August. Le;i and Feet of Horses. The feet and legs of horses require particular attention. It is an old say ing with horsemen, "Keep the feet and legs in order, and the body will take care of itself. The legs are the first to fail. The horse, when brought in from severe, protracted exertions, should be rubbed down dry. His legs, from his knees and hocks down, should be well hand-rubbed, so that friction will create insensible perspiration ;that will tend to prevent swelled legs, stiff joints and sprung knees. When the legs are fevered from overdriving, they should be bandaged with wet cloths to take away the heat and pre vent wind-galls that prove eye-sores, and which, without diminishing his capacity for labor, materially affect the market value of the horse.— Lice Block Journal. l-'arin end Garden ZVotes. Salt is used to destroy the onion maggot with partial success. About July 1 sow two bushels to the acre; the salt also hastens the maturity of the crop. Everything points to another period in England of live-stock contagion. Both foot and mouth disease and pleuro-pneumonia are appearing in unexpected places. It is well to give horses a double amount of feed on the evening pre ceding a long journey, and only half rations of grain or a little hay on the morning of starting. The tendency of modern practice in manuring with commercial fertilizers is to use readily soluble and quick acting manures, but to use them spar ingly at times. Little and often is the rule. A good guide for feeding grain to cattle is one pound to each hundred of their weight. Most animals eat in proportion to their weight, and an animal weighing 1000 pounds may re ceive ten pounds of grain per day. The average at factories from com mon cows the year through has been from twenty-four to twenty-five pounds of milk to make one pound of butter, or two and one-half pounds of cheese. It takes more during the flush season of pasture, and less in autumn and winter. A good cow has a full eve, a small and short head, dished in the face and sunken between the eyes; a soft and loese skin, deep from the loin to the udder, and a square bag with teats a good distance from each other, and one which, when milked, shrinks to a small compass. lteceipts. Potato Pie. —Skin some potatoes, cut them in slices, and season them; also, some lamb, mutton, beef, or veal. Put layers of them and then of the meat. Cover with gravy and sliced tomato under a short crust. Corn Pone. —Corn pone is highly re commended as a breakfast dish. Take one helping coffee cup of boiled hominv, heat it, and stir in a table-spoonful of butter; as much corn meal may be added as will serve to thicken this till it is like the batter for "johnnycako." Bake in a quick oven and servo hot. Itoueholng before dinner is served, set the basin containing it in a pan or pail of b uling water; do not let the water boil after the sauodish is set in it, but keep it hot. THE FAMILY DOCTOR. l>r. Foote's Health Monthly advises parents not to punish achild bv boxing or pulling its ears. Kerosene oil will cure chilblains. Rub the parts affected thoroughly with the oil going to bed. A second application may be necessary. To prevent the hair from falling out, apply once a week with a piece of flannel or sponge a wash made of one ounce of powdered borax, half an ounce of pjwdered camphor, and one quart of boiling water. Dr. Danford Thomas, in his capacity as coroner, hasdirected public attention to the mortality which follows the neglect of measles. It is a common opinion among the poor that a child must have the measles, and that when it get; the disease it requires no treat ment and but little care. This is a miftake. In the records of vital statistics it may be seen that it often proves more fatal in the large towns than any other zymotic disease, more even than scarlatina. With medical and parental care the disease generally does well, but without this it is liable to serious complications and apt to leave disagreeable consequences.—Lon don La net. American Restlessness. Dr. Edward Eggleston's paper in one of his Century series of articles on colonial history, describes "The migra tions of American colonists," and alludes as follows to an American trait: From the beginning, the Ameri cans have been a migratory people. New Englanders, as we have seen, planted themselves in Westchester and on Long Island, came by throngs into East Jersey, and migrated to the more southern colonies. JSo Virginians helped to people-Maryland and North Carolina, migrated northward to New York, and, even before the Revolution, began to look wistfully over the mountain barrier into the great inte rior valley. New York Dutch migrat ed to South Carolina; some of them settled also in Maine, Pennsylvania, and Maryland; while Pennsylvania, excited by fear of Indian massacre during French wars, occupied much of the mountain and "piedmont" regions of the colonies to the southward. It is said that of 3500 militiamen of Orange county in North Carolina, dur ing the Revolution, every man was a native of Pennsylvania, There was an incessant movement to and fro of people seeking to better their condi tion. Once the European had broken away from his mooring of centuries, the vastness of the new continent piqued him, and he became a rover. This instability as to place remains yet in the American character. The mental alertness, which comes of changing circumstances, new scenes, and unexpected difficulties, was early remarked by travelers as a character istic of the native colonies." Splendid Miser. Dichreus Dichseanus was a splendiu miser, who united the opposite charac ters of great parsimony and magnifi cent appearance, which he thought himself bound to maintain, as he claimed a descent from the Byzantine emperors. 11 is table was spread twice a day, as if for grand entertainments, and the servants sent out with sil ver dishes and covers, which, after pas sing a few streets, they brought back empty as they went out, while their master was dining on cheap vegeta bles, or, perhaps, a morsel of pork or mutton. Ilis supper, though splendid ly arrayed, was an egg, or a few olives' with a gill of sour wine. When he went out, his servants at tended him in rich liveries; but on their return they were ordered to as sume their own clothes. In the win ter no fire was permitted in any part of the house except the kitchen. Ilis servants were ordered to wash in the sun, or if the sky was cloudy, to run races or draw water from a deep well, that they might be warmed without the expense of a fire. lie himself was shut up in his bedroom over a misera ble spark, sustained by all the dirty and waste paper which he had care fully collected during the other sea sons of the year. During his last sickness, when he was puzzled to whom he should be queath his property, a letter came from a relative, written on an inch of pa per. Instead of being enrage I at such disrespect, his avarice got the better of his pride, and he declared the writer his heir, esteeming liirn, by this instance, well worthy of becoming his successor in parsimony. DIPHTHERIA. I'nrti of Interest Concerning this Epl* drinlcnl Ulktnsr Hon It I* Conveyed. Notwithstanding the alarming pro* valence of diphtheria throughout the country, few people comparatively know anything of its history, ft is not a new disease, but lias prevailed epidemically from the earliest times of which we have any medical record. A medical work published in Sanscrit more than 2300 years ago mentions this disease and describes the mrtrtrtor of its attack. It was Very prevalent in Spain front 1581 to 1011, and was known as garrotillo. In Naples dur ing 1017 it swept away whole families and the disease was accurately de scribed in 1010 by a French physician, Baillou. It was first observed in our country by Dr. Samuel Bard, who called it an "uncommon and danger ous distemper." It derives its name diphtheria from the Greek Word diphtheru (deathor). This namo was given to it ea'-ly in this century by a French physician, BrotzonneftU, on Ac count of the 1 -ath- ry appearance of the false membrane which is one of the characteristics of the disease. There are numerous theories as to the causes which produce diphtheria, but the question has never been satisfac torily settled. What it is is quite as nuK'h a matter of dispute. All are agreed that it is a virus, known by its fruits, but no one lias ever traced its actual source. Microscopical and chemical tests have failed to reveal in what this poison consists. Of its ef fects, however, we have abundant proof. The greatest number of cases occur between the ilrst and lifth year of life, and it has a tendency to affect a num ber of persons belonging to the same family. This fact proves, according to Mackenzie, that age and family sus ceptibility are important predisposing causes. This eminent authority also observes that "in its endemic form it rarely attacks those who live in healthy and well-ventilate 1 houses." Again, the same author remarks: "The wealthy arc sometimes subjected to causes of infection which the poorest may es cape," because "when diphtheria be comes epidemic in a town an elaborate system of drainage is calculated to convey the poison by means of the sewers." It is well understood by the profession that it may be conveyed bv a person not actually affected by it. Several years ago the habit of taking children especially into street cars or other public conveyances was loudly condemned for this reason by city physicians. The custom of public funerals has undoubtedly much to do with spreading the disease. People do not yet thoroughly understand that it possesses the property of adhering to clothing, walls of houses, furniture, etc., in as marked degree as do the germs of small-pox, only awaiting some particular condition of the at mosphere to arouse it to action. Diph theria is said to be m 're common, a> well as more fatal, in the country than in the city. This fact would seem to indicate that with all their advantages for obtaining pure air and ppre water, country people are generally careless as to the proper ventilation of their dwelling-houses, the condition of their cellars, and as to the relations their water wells bear to their stables and house-drains. However, they are get ting to understand these things better, and if the theories of the perpetuation of diphtheria be correct, the time may come when it will be with them but a memory of the past. Knife Handles. An ivorv-hafted knife to the ordina ry diner-out, says a London paper, is simply a piece of table cutlery, useful at meals, but devoid of all romance, lie wonders not at the ingenuity that made the steel and fashioned the blade with its keenly-cutting edge. In his eyes it is only a knife-handle and he docs not allow its antecedents to inter fere with his appetite. But through what an experience this bit of ivory t so smooth and shining, has passed! It once formed part of an elephant's tusk and was probably dug out of the desert or found in some dense African forest, while the jackals or the vultures were feeding on the animal's carcass. It was most likely carried hundreds of miles over a trackless country and territory peopled by hostile tribes ready to shed blood for its possession. Like fame, ivory is frequently very difficult to get, and when, by the exer cise of strength, endurance, watchful ness and cunning, the dusky natives have brought it to the shore, they deserve a substantial price for the precious load that has fatigued their limbs and made their shoulders ache. A tusk sold one week at Liverpool weighed not less than 140 pounds, and it can scarcely be said that the Afri r tn's yoke is easy and his burden light when he has to toil along, in tropical heat, with an elephant's tooth in his grasp. But the obstacles to be overcome in getting the ivory to a civilized region are not entirely responsible for the present high prices in the English market. The elephant is defunct in Egypt, and tusks are only obtainable there by dredging in the sand; but the ieviathan of the woods is by no means extinct in Africa and India, and would possibly yield an abundance of ivory if the demand only grew as slowly as his teeth.

Ti i< is the warning ofu t ire and it is an instinct to avoid all such smells. The foul breath, bad odors of old sores, etc., leads man to avoid these germs it a great measure.

It is from germs of slower development, however, that the gre itest danger follows. To the one most fu'ly described by KOCH is due nioio deaths than to any otlur known cause. According to the ruse trelics of Cur- TEB, FLINT and DEJERINF, over eight million people die every jo ;r frjm this < a iso alone. The annual deaths in France. England, Germany nnd ltussia from their destruction was over one and a half millions. In the United Stites and Canada over three hun dred thousand persons perished ,11 tho last year from the bacillus alone. The ILO-t common disease resulting from it is con sumption of the lungs. but otter organs of the body are liable to oe affected as tin y de velop slowly but surely in any organ that may bo Ixl a weak or unhealthy state. If active nnd healthy, the live", kidneys and bowo's have to a wond rful extent the power of expelling these deadly i.nimalcuhe or parasites from thj system. And this fact furniske, an important indication for the 6uccessfultreatme.it of nil the long list c f maladies caused by these 1 arasitcs as will be hereinaftc r sin w.i.

Among the most common were "liver complaint," biliousness or torpid liver, dyspep> a or indigestion, lung affec tions. bronchi Uß. kid icy diseases, chronic diarrhea, spinal complaint, fever-sores, white swelling-, hip-joint disease, rheuma tism, malarial diseases, such as fever and ague or intermittent fever, general and nervous debilities, female weaknesses, chronic catarrh of the head or o/ana, many forms of un healthy discharges from internal organs, and nil the various scrofulous affect 11 ns of the skin, glands, bones, joints, etc.. including consumption, wl icli is but scrofulous dis ease of the lung?. In this large catalogue of apparently wide ly differing diseases, but re illy all depending upon a common cause, and therefore natu rally to be successfully treated on the same general princip es examination of the blood and secretions levealed large numbers of these parasites, and curiously enough the number bore a direct relation to the severity of the disease, a compar atively small number being pres ent in mild cases and a very large proportion in bad cases. Under the u?e of the specific treatment which they give, and which is substantially the same as that described and recommended later in ihis re view, the number was seen to steadily dimin ish from day to day until, with tho restora tion of health and bodily strength, they could not be found at all. The greatest variety of symptoms were found to acooinpany their prestnee, due to peculiarities of the constitution, the part of the body most seriously affected, and the ef forts of the different organs to lid the system of these germs. Among the most common were frequent headaches, neuralgic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or variable appe tites, diarrhea, bad breath, hectic fever, cough, night-sweats, cold extremities, dyspepsia, ta arrh, sore throat, sore eyes, etc., while wherb tho skin was affected, salt-rheum, Loils, carbun cles, scurf skin, erysipelas, St. Anthony's lire and other symptoms we. e common, and all gradually but with certainty were cured by the ?ame means.

In some cases, where there aie un healthy discharge" l , as from tl.e nostrils in ca.-es of eiiher acute or chronic catarrh, the me of Dr. Sage'e Catarrh Rornedy, a mild fli.d he.iiing aniiseptic lotion, shou'd be associated Wi h the use of the Discovery. It is a'so a Ivisable to use this 1 ition in other local manifestations of disease of mucous surfaces, liy this means tho ge ms of disease Aro destroyed and tho membranes cleinsed before any of the poisonous bacilli aio nbsorbei into the blood. In sore throat, (juiasy or diphtheria, tho Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used as a gargle, and the Golden Medical Dis covery tuki n freely.. Iu wo ueu where weakness of special or gans is common and almost certain to bo developed, nt.euded by backache, bearing elow.u scn-ations and Other IOCLI symptoms, tho use of Dr. Pierce's Tavorito 1 resorp tion in conjunction w.th that of the Dit covery, speedily restores the healthy func tions auei assists in building up and invig orating the sys'em. • In any case where the boxve's have baen costiee nnd are not regulated and acted uj Off sufficiently by the mild laxauve propert.es I o •• sod by the Golden Mldkll Discover Dr. P.orce's Pieasant Purgative Pellets (litiia liver pills), taken in sm ill doses of only one cr two each day, will nid materially in estab lishing healthy action, and in exi>elling the eh? case-producing germs from the blcoi and system. At tho risk of repetition and byway of re capitulation. we may truthfully say that Golden Medical Discovery curei all humors, from the worst sciofula tou common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt-rheum, fever so.es, stn'y or rough skin, iu short, all diseases caused by disease germs in the Mood, are conquered by this powerful, puri fy irg and invigorating medicine. Great eat ing ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influ ences. Especially has it manifested its po tency in curing tetter, rose rash, boils, car buncles. so e eyes, scrofulous sorts and swell ings. white swellings, goiter or thick neck and enlarged glands. "The blooa is the life." Thoroughly dense thisfoun ain of health by using Gold en Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and soundness of constitution are estab lirhcd. Consumption, which is scrofulous d'seare of the lungs induced by the deadly disease genu bacillus, is promptly and positively ar lested and cuied by this sovereign remedy, if take I before the last stages of the disease nre reached. From its wonderful power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this njw world-farted remedy to the public, DN. PIERCE thought favorably of calling it hia " consumption cure," but. abandoned that n iiuc rs too restrictive for a medicine that irom its woi.d rful combination of germ di stroying, as well as tonic or strengthening, alterative or blood-cleansing, ami-bilious, diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties is unequnled, not only as a remedy for con sumption of the lungs, but for all chronic diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and lu lgR. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chilis, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits end gloomy forebodings, irregular api elite and tongue coated, you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, and torpid liver or " biliousness." In many case 3 only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for nil such Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery has no equal, as it ef fect'perfect and rad.ca'. cares. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night sweats and kin drod affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and consumption, it has astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed "by cod liver oil nre trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly builds up the system and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by wasting diseases. The plan of treatment that xve have so briefly outlined in this article for the large class of chronic diseases referred to, has long been acknowledged to be the most success ful, based ns it is upon the belief shared by the most skillful • medical men of the day, that tho only way to got rid of the nox ious disease-producing germs in the blood and system is through the liver, kidneys and bowels, and therefore that those agents which are known to act most efficiently in re storing healthy action of these organs are lha ones most to be relied upon. For this pur pose tho Golden Medical Discovery is pre eminently the agent that fulfills every indica tion of treatment reauired.
