Beginning with a small local scale in a retail drug store the business of Hood's Sursaparilla has steadily increased until there is scarcely a village or hamlet in the United States where it is unknown.
To-day Hood's Sarsaparilla stands at the head in the medicine world, admired in prosperity and envied in merit by thousands of would-be comcoinpetitors. It has a larger sale than any other medicine before the American public, and probably greater than all other sarsaparillas and blood purifiers combined.
Such success proves merit. If you are sick, it is not the medicine for you to try. Hood's Sarsaparilla

OUR RAILROADS.
Number In Montgomery County—News of Interest ConcerningTliem.
The first railroad through this city was the "Crawfordsville fc Wabash Railroad," extending from here to Lafayette. Major I. C. Elston, sr., was president, and Alex Thomson, secretary. This county gave 8100,000 stock, issuing bonds which were never paid. The road was commenced in 1850 and completed in 1853. In 1855 it became a part of the present Monon system.
In 1855 a railroad was surveyed from Indianapolis through here to Danville, Ills., but a financial panic killed the project. In 1861 the construction of a road was commenced and this soon was abandoned. The matter -was taken up again in 1866, and the next year the county commissioners donated 8125,000. The first spike was driven near the Junction on Nov. 19, 1368, and the first train of cars to Indianapolis passed over the road on May 4, 1869. Afterwards by a consolidation with other roads the [present Big Four Peoria branch was put in operation.
Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair
The present Vandalia branch through this city was formed by the consolidation of three partially completed roads. A donation of $125,000 was also given to this road.
There are also two other railroads in Montgomery county—the Midland and the L., St. L, & R. C. R. R.
NOTES.
The Midland will be extended to Muucie by July 1. L. A. Clark, Monon agent, has been visiting at Bloomington.
The Vandalia has become a part of the Pennsylvania system. The Big Fouf owns 18,000 freight cars 3,000 have air brakes and 8,000 automatic couplers.
The general superintendent's office of the Vandalia lines is to be moved from St. Louis to Terre Haute.
The Big Four earnings in December show a decease of nearly 8200,000, compared with the same month last year.
The L'. N. A. & C. earned in the six months ending December 31, the first half of its fiscal year, 81,839,089, au increase over the corresponding six months of 1892 of 865,348.
The Midland Railroad has had more ups and downs, literally and actually than any other railroad in Indiana. Even the strike of one set of section hands is enough to stop the running of trains for a month. SIS?
A Surprise Parts'.
One of the most pleasant events of the season occurred last night at the residence of Isaac Davis, on north Grant avenue,in the form of a surprise party on his little daughter, Carrie. About twenty-five of the younger class took possession of her home completely to her surprise. However, the little girl together with her older sister soon proved themselves equal to the occa sion and all present seemed to enjoy themselves most excellently. Dainty refreshments were served and with the dancing and games everything passed off most pleasantly.
Tlie Fir© Record.
frrom the record kept of fires it is set.-n that during the year ending' May 1, 1893, there were thirty-one alarms. The losses were 828,845.88 insurance, 822,235.88 making a net loss of 86,610. Up to Jan., 1894,from May 1, 1893,there had been twenty-five alarms, seven being in December, the greatest number in any one month for several years. The fire of July 13 was the largest, be ing when the Arms' shoe store, etc.. was burned. The loss in this fire was 816,000, with an insurance of $ir.790.

W. M. Reeves has moved four times during the past year and is again looking about for another house. It is net because he does not pay his house rent, as he owns property, but from the fact that he has not found a house to suit his ideas. He is buying and selling all the time.

GFJKHAL FARMING.
Its Advantages Compared With the ll«ud~ vantages of Specialization.
J. S. Fullenwider, of Brown's-Valley, read a very interesting paper before the late Farmers' Institute on Special vs. General Farming. After a neat introduction he treated his subject as follows:
Whenever the system of general farming is departed from the business at once becomes more dependent. While the general farm is the ideal one, yet there are locations and conditions where it is more profitable to become a little less independent and to specialize. But in a climate and on a soil which is so well adapted to a variety of products as is ours and where the great majority of farmers are not conveniently sKuated to large and thriving cities which afford a close and ready market for all our produce, the variety of products prepared in the most marketable way is doubtless preferable.
It may be argued that better qualities and larger productions can be made when a specialty is made. In answer, we would say that if the general farmer be about his business there will be very little difference in any of these things or in the prices received. You know the sun rises on the evil and on the good and the rain falls on the just and unjust the same.
On the other hand in the attempt to make large productions, especially in crops, we are liable to meet with loss by being over-crowded' with work at certain times when we must hire extra help or the crop suffers. In case extra help is procured it is such as is not accustomed to the work or to the farm and they are sure to demand very high wages for the work is of short duration. The work of the farm will go on much more pleasantly if it is somewhat evenly distributed through the year. There should be a good day's work for every working day in the year. Seasons of great rush and of almost total idleness are aggravating and tend to weaken the worker's zeal. The farmer who is busy half the year and then idle half the year is only doing half as well as he should.
General farming has advantage in the adaptation of different kinds of seasons of different crops. Unlike many kinds of business, the farmer must ever be controlled by the weather and the season. Very frequently the season will cause a partial failure of some crop, but in such times there is generally some other crop that is making a good yield. A man is in better mental condition if he contents himself by thinking that the rain, which keeps him from plowing will make the grass grow or that the rain which spoiled his newly mown hay will make his corn grow. Thus accounts "begin to balance. He has not staked all his interests on one crop and while he may lose on one he gains on another.
The market is the end which the farmer seeks for all his products. Prices, like the seasons, are variable. At one time the demand is great for pork aud at another for beef and no man can tell much about the market in the future. So then it is best when one product becomes low not to quit it entirely, but simply decrease the production a little, then we will be ready with something when the advance eomes. The farmer who has a little property to place on every market will usually receive good prices in some of them, while if his whose capital is dependent on the demand,in one market, he may occasionally make large profits, but too often there is loss.
It is the testimony of men who are doing special farming that is hard to get started and endure the dull times. Could any business be much duller than that of the man who has all his capital invested in horses, or sheep, or wheat? Evidently the man who would succeed must not give up when the dull times come, for there is nearly always loss in change of business. But too often, men in trying to specialize become discouraged and sell out cheaply just in time to give some other man the benefit of the advance in prices, while he himself spends large sums of money getting started in some other specialty. At one time everything is sheep, then it is horses, then poultry, then fruit, then vegetables, and so on until in disgust our friend quits the farm altogether.
The soil fertility is the capital of the farmer. That gone, his business is gone. Any system of farming, therefore, that does not bring prominently into consideration the maintaining of the soil fertility is not to bo countenanced on our lands in this day of study and advancement. We must not look upon the soil as having an inexhaustible supply of plant food, but it has been many times demonstrated that constantly growing the same crop on the same land rapidly robs the land of its power to produce any crop. A rotation of crrtps will make the soil fertility last longer, but a rotation of crops that are all taken away and nothing returned will likewise impoverish our ordinary clay soils. The soil may also be of such a nature that some crops will not do well on it, or the surface may be so rolling that it should seldom be plowed. It such cases a diversification of products enables the farmer to select crops suitable to the soil. Live stock should be made a prominent part of a system of general farming. By feeding the farm crops on the farm and carefully saving and distributing the animal excrement, very little is really taken away from the farm that is need as fertilizer. The animals, in the form of manure, leave from 50 lo 90 per cent, of the food consumed. This manure is a complete manure and answers well all the needs of our.lands. Then too, these manures are cheap and lasting in their effect and in this way we get a double use of our crop.

every product of the. farm. Waste is loss and continued waste, unless balanced by something else, is failure in business. There are many farmers who like I.azarus would live on what we Indiana farmers waste, The lesson of saving and completely utilizing our crops is one which we should early learn. In no kind of farming can the utilization of the products be so perfect and the cost of production made so small because of this saving and utilization as in general farming. In the growing of grain exclusively there is much fodder and straw that is more or less wasted and in the keeping of stock without growing any of the feed there is loss of much valuable fertilizer. So in keeping some variety of stock.
Hogs should invariably be kept if cattle are fed in order that the full use of the feed may be obtained.
While general farming is certainly the best system for most farmers yet it must not bee too general. As the saying is, "don't have too many irons in the fire." Don't attempt to keep everything from a race horse to a guinea fowl. One should plan his farming in accordance with the help he can command, and avoid times of extreme rush. For instance, most farmers with limited help find it very rushing to tend a large corn crop, and have large wheat, oat and hay harvests and in the hurry of the time some of these crops are almost sure to suffer for want of attention. Some of these should be reduced if not abandoned. So in the fall of the year the man who expects to make corn fodder on which to winter his cattle finds that the wheat sowing and corn cutting very often conflict. In general, with wheat ruling at the prices of the last few years it would be better for the farmer who keeps much live stock and makes his own reed to raise only enough wheat to furnish straw for bedding for the stock, or, better still, rent the wheat ground for grain rent and retain the straw. So in the live stock. A herd of horsea that are never used will be found a course of constant annoyance.
Some of the greatest objections to general farming and mixed husbandry are the greater amount of machinery required.
But to consider some of the adaptations of special farming, In this connection the soil and climatic adaptability of certain crops and the nearness to a good market are the most import, ant factors. A soil that is very rolling should be plowed but very little, hence a system of grazing would certainly be advisable even if grain or mill feed must be bought in order to winter the stock.
A soil and climate well adapted to fruit growing seems to be a rarity and hence a specialty in this line might be most profitable where the conditions suited. In some parts of our country, too, corn, which is our staple product for the support of live stock does not thrive, while wheat and other cereals grow almost to ferfection. In such places a specialty in this line should be made.
The dairy, also, is an offspring of the farm whioh demands the prominence of a specialty. It also should be relatively near a market, else great inconvenience will be experienced and better located dairies will absert the business. In this business, too, there is much offal and swine can be kept very economically.
The special farmer must be on the alert for the best possible market, make enough of the product to pay him to hunt for the best market, and 'make the best quality of productions in order to hold his trade.
Catarrh In the Head
