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

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

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,

It takes more during the flush season

A good cow has a full eve, a small

which, when milked, shrinks to a
small compass.

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

Corn Pone. —Corn pone is highly re
commended as a breakfast dish. Take

Itouehol<l Hints.
To remove stains from cups or other
articles of tableware or marblelized oil
cloths, rub them with saleratus, either
with the finger or a piece of linen.
The* best and easiest way to clean
white paint is to use enough spirits of
ammonia to soften the water, and
ordinary hard soap, and rub well.
To keep pudding sauce warm if

the water boil after the sauodish is
set in it, but keep it hot.
THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Kerosene oil will cure chilblains.
Rub the parts affected thoroughly with

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

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.

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.
The studies 01 L,ANCISCA, an eminent Italian,
and WOOD, FORM AD and others, nro interest
ing. as showing tho largo variety of chronic
diseases as heretofore classified, that result
from these germs. 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. The hectic fee. so often
met with in consumption, with the hacking
or tearing cough, night sweats, diarrhea,
and other syinptons due to the efforts of na
lure to throw off and expel theeegerms were
nlfd readily controlled and cuied in the
name way as wore tho old sores, abscesses
dad ulcers in the lungs; liver and other im
portant btgan*.
The corrosive aci Is and minoral poisons
r.re found Id posses i the power of killing
these germs, but the dangerous nature of
such powerful agents prevent their internal
me. For the purpose of expelling the germs
when once within the system it is necessary

An Americin phy Linn of large experi

greatest gland of tho human system, vhah
has been not inaptly termed the "house
keeper of our health." Turough the in
cr a'cd acliou of the liver and other ernunc
tory organs of the system, all poisonous
germs aro rendered inactive and gradually
expelled from the system with other Impuri
ties. 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

tho Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used
as a gargle, and the Golden Medical Dis

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

covery, speedily restores the healthy func

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.
