To Prevent Blight in Potato.
Mr. Emanuel Fagley, near
Needmore, one of tho most suc
cessful potato raisers in the coun

often interferes with the crop,
may be entirely averted by milk
ing a mixture of one part salt
and two parts plaster and drop
ping a teaspoonful iu each hill
just at the time the potato is coin
ing into blossom.
Wonderful Nerve.

Somerset Farmers up Against It.
Somerset was thrown into con
siderable excitement recently by
the actions of a strange gentle
man of portly appearance, an ele
gant dresser, and of bewitching
tongue, who had visited some of
the farmers to the number of
about ninety, and persuaded them
to put up 17.50 each, on the rep
resentation that a Union had been
formed for the purpose of con
trolling supplies to all agricultur
al machines and that our farm
ers could not obtain such supplies
uuless they were members of tho
Union and he demanded the17.50
as a membership fee from each
of them.
All of them had paid the mon
ey and came into town for their
instructions when one of them
grew dissatisfied, employed a
lawyer, made a complaint of falso
pretence before 'Squire Knable.
Tho stately gentlemau was ar
rested, a hearing had, much elo
quence expended nud many tears
shed, taking up the time almost
to the arrival of trie train, when
his money was refunded to com
plainant, and the prisouer left
town after paying tho costs and
about a thousaud dollars richer
than when he camo in. The oth
er farmers are still trying to per
suade themselves that they have
a good thing. Windber Era.
Catarrh ol the Stomach.
When the stomach is overload
ed; when food ia taken into it that
fails to digest, it decays and in
flame tho mucous membrane,
exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to hoc ret mucin, in
stead of tho natural juices of di
gestion. This is called Catarrh
of the Stomach. For years X suf
fered with catarrh of tho stomach
caused ry indigestion. Doctors
and medicines failed to benefit
me until I used Kodol Dyspepsia
