G. CHRISTEN, Auditor Adams County. office, Adams County, April 18; 1881. April 21, 1881.—3w4 FL.4X STRAW WiMlll. To the Farmers of Jdamii and Counties. I will call your attention to a matter that concern* you as wall as myself. I The culture of flax is very imperfectly understood by a large majority of our i , tanners. 1 deirirc to eall your atten-; 1 lien to a few very important points ami ! |if proper consideration is given my . i news I have no doubt but that pecuni-! •I ary benefits will accrue to those who I may sue proper to follow my instruc-1 J tions. As a general rule our farmers' “ ■ do not properly prepare the soil for flax r . I seed. The next evil is their sowing, i whiehis generally succeeded with "a | crop of weeds aud’fox tails instead of

lint aud seed. Two pecks of seed to : the acre may produce an average crop |if the season is very favorable, but I three pecks to the acre is mure certain I taking everything into consideration I The best soil for to sow flax on is sod ■ ground, and next best to that is good i clean corn stubble. The ground should be well prepared, well ploughed and harrowed fine. Get a field roller and ' make your ground smoothe and line, then sow your seed and brush it in with a brush, and put no less than I three peeks to an acre of ground, j Our farmers let the seed get too ripe i before harvesting ; the result is shrinkage in seed aud a very unprofitable arI tide to the crusher or manufacturer. Don't let your flax get ripe before cutting; it is necessary, but wronsr- Some think seed ought to have a brown col- I

I or before it is fit to cut. This is a misi take. When seed is fairly formed in i the boll, and begins to harden a little, I cut down your flax and let it ripen in 1 the swath. It will mature in 8 or 10 ' days. You will then have a quality of I seed that will be desirable. Seed sated I ' in this way will weigh six pounds more I to the stroked bushel than seed that has ripened while standing. Try it once I and you will be convinced. The next matter of importance is taking care of the straw so it will realize for you the highest market price. The farmers of Huntington and adjoining counties arc rotting their straw be- i fore bringing it into the market anti they are well pleased with the arrangement, as the cost of rotting amounts to but very little to the farmers as they are provided with ever facility, this

idea of rotting may not meet with much favor; but I have no fears. After the first experiment has been tried you will never want to sell green straw afterwards when you can get from $2 to $3 per ton more for rotted than for unrot- j ted. For your information I will say i that one man can spread out foul tons I per day. and this amount should cover one acre of ground as near as possible. It must be shook out and spread ver} light so the grass underneath can be seen. There is one great advantage in liglif spreading: it rots and drys quickly. It. will not rot evenly if it is laid down in bunches, as the inside receives material benefit while the exposed partswill be properly rotted. There need be no misunderstanding. AV hen farmers come to market their straw and. if I should find fault, say: GA ell. I! spread it out and did as you directed, ; 1 can tell how it has been treated. I ; sometimes get straw that is rotted l.nf'n.A seed is taken oft. I i

; also get some that is about half rotted. These two qualities I can use by mixing with well rotted stock. The average price for different qualities will be: For long, clean ami were j i rotted straw. sti: green and unrotted, $3. ■ ' The cost of rotting will not exceed (ill | cents per ton to those who own the i 1 ground and have cheap labor. Farmers having straw of last year s | I crop will find a market for it. If fur-j I ther information is wanted by any par- ! ties they will find me at the factory, j Farmers wanting to buy seed for' ■ sowing can be accommodated by call- . in" on Niblick. Crawford sons. T.

DISEASE ? The doctor says “Piles. Yes. Now , read carefully the following symptoms, and you can tell what your trouble is. It is • not all Piles that affect the Rectum. There j is nut one symptom by which the sufferer | can tell positively that piles is the malady, ; and that is protrusion from the rectum t Bleeding is no evidence of piles, unless protrusion accompanies it. You have piles ‘ when there is protrusion from the rectum : | j bleeding also multiplies the evidence. Pro- I i cidentia also protrudes, but goes bick at i once without pressure, and doe- not bleed. Figure in Ano. This often bleeds freely at stool, when ’ the upper end of the fissure, which is a j crack in the lower end of the rectum and anal membrane, opens intc a vien. Bleeding alone is no evidence of fissure, i but when at, or after stool, a severe, ach- ! ing, throbbing pain is set up in lower end of the rectum, making the person suffer all I over, sometimes being a continuous and at , other times lasting from one to six hours; then you can rely os having a fissure in - nn. It is not niles.

ano. ii is nut purr. lit cl al Ulcer a U earful Jlaludy. Now read carefully ! In this malady ■ is Death’s harvest! The symptoms, ar j different stages of the disease, are very j different. Study this well. The malady is a very common and dreadful one in its ; results, hh'l often, unless watchful, it will not be noticed seriously until too late to i be cured. For this reason it is a dreadful ; malady. Like a serpent, it has you before you think seriously of it. The symptoms change as the disease advances. I will try and follow them from the first to Inst: Bleeding at stool and often morning diarrl;ri, resembling coffee-grounds; constipation; Aery slow, bard stools; desire to remain long at stool: very lame hack and Hips; pain in the abdomen; poor stomach: dyspepsia; heart affection; loss of memory ; pain in btse of brain and neck : liver trouble; severe cough, more from stomach than lungs; ash-colo bed uuit- j flexion : wrinkled outer corners of eyes : ; discharges of mucus like white of egg lower end of stool hard and lumpy : small. • hard and painful lumps, one or more, just outside the rectum ; presence of fissure: fistula; week, lame knees and thighs; back and hips get sore in bed; painful burning in soles of feet; kidney aud urinary troubles; numbness of legs; sore nerves, muscles aud joints, called rheumatism; very annoying itching about the anur,\ always caused by rectal ulcer.: and, finally, entire destruction of sphincters and anal membrane —wrecked manhood and womanhood —poor, feeble, weakly, broken down bodies and minds. Again, very constant diarrh<ra, up often at night, diabeties, paralysis of limbs and brain; “sof.ening of brain; acute inflamniatioa of bowels and stomach : severe hemorrhages of bowels: insmity; tired of life: no pleasure in life. Then comes death and ends all after a wasted life from ruined health. This malady takes tliou- | s inds of young men and women from us. | 1 have bad cases at sixteen as well as at ■ eighty. It is, in diseases, as the lion is ' amongst beasts, the monster to be dreaded.

i This malady is commonly called by the | profession “Blind Piles. ' There is noth- ' ing like piles about it. lam fully satisfied that this malady is no respecter of ago or persons. It come.-, generally, from injury I to the mucus membrane from hard, sharp, I passing substances with the stool, such u , fish and other small bones, fruit seeds, ! pieces of oyster shells, splinters, of beef ! tones, etc. After the injury inHammation ■ occurs, and an abcess or sore is started : I passing f-eces poison and irritate it; it I finally inflames the whole mucus mem- | brane and nervous system deceive the profession wonderfully as to womb aud vagi- , uni troubles—“female weakness" and other • ills to which it rosy lie changed. I have i a nuuaher of cases that will bear rue out in the above statement. I ■ Fmsns often s,y t 0 tu a,.. u mr

suffeiing is nul in the rectum, but in my back, kidneys, stomach, limbs, head, etc." Su 1 tell you in my circulars. A small sore on the toe or finger will often produce a kernel in the groin or under the arm Would it not. be folly to doctor the kernal instead of the toe or linger ‘ Remove the cause, and the kernal will disappear. And yet when persons so say to me, as stated above, when their attention is directed to the fact they will say, “Yes, I am constipated, but take pills to keep my bowels open: I must remain long in the closet.” This is all the evidcnee you want to prove the presence of an ulcer. Then you have , the ‘ kernels all through your system. ' too. What more do you want? Without; congestion and intlammation in your rec- ; turn, whv become costive? That dries up I the fluids and produces your consiipiit'on. Only reason a little and you will soon trace effects back to causes.

The The rectum is the lower end oftA.r large bowel. In length it vanes ? to the build of its possessor—-but, in general, is from three to six inches long. It differs from the colon in this, viz : in position it is nearly erect, and so kept, front its connection with the tissue between it and spinal column. If nn ulcer should eat through the w ill of the colon the opening wou'dtie into the abdominal cavity. So, too. is the case, if its location is lattenil or anterior, which, fortunately, is seldom the ca 9—in the rectum. Nearly always do we find the ulcer in the posterior part of rectum: but In time, it often eats latterly and, sometimes entirely around the wall. Toward the spinal column it can burrow . deeply I Into such cavity, when produced, ; enters, at stool, portions of the passing fames, until, in time, the cavity becomes solidly filled, and the wall of the ulcer distended so that the impaction is greatly larger than the orifice through which it entered! In this condition the pressure upon the nerves aud tissue becomes very severe and trying and the former becomes paartially, and sometimes, entirely parlyzed! This impaction must be removed, or death will soon result I In this impaction is written the words "Heart Disease," very often, and Cor.snM/>tion This impaction. filling the cavity and forcing the tissue anil membrane into a globular form, pressing it hard against the opposite wall, or side."and almost closing the canal, is one of the important causes of ■ribbon-thape i stools, and, also, one of the chief causes of slow, hard pissages. The office of the rectum is a very important one. It is severely tested, and very little cure taken of it. It becomes injured by passing small bones, sharp oyster shells, seeds of fruit, and p vrts of indigested apple cores, and by various other hard substances, it becomes lacerated and bruised -is sei lorn cleaned by injections of pure water after stool, as it should be—the laceration and injuries become sores there, as outside—severe ulceration follows, and death is the result. These are the observations of Dr. A. W. Brinkerhoff, who has performed more than twenty thousand operations on Rectal Diseases.

from tlctralion. Dr. Brinkerhoff says: “I have become fully convinced, from my practice and experience, that a vast majority of cases called consumption are produced by, or are simplv cases of, rectal ulceration. I have seen too much to doubt this. I have seen patients in all stages of the disease. The worse the “consumption," so railed, the worse the ulcer. “I have never yet seen a case of lipped ulcer, just above the upper sphincter, that did not produce a severe cough and rapidly crush the system and lead to death if not treated. Now, only, is the time to attend to them, as soon as felt. “I feel sad when I see so many young men and young women fading, failing, coughing their young lives away, drugged to death more rapidly bp their medical attendants, who know not what they are doing or why they are doing it.”

Bml case of ulceration may terminate in consumption: and 1 am more convinced i every day that not a few can trace the exciting cause of their consumption to llceratr n and fistula of the rectum. Time Accessary to Care. Pile? may be cured in one, two, three, or it may take six or more treatments Uiccr treatment is entirely different. Here is a deep hole to heal up. It may take more than one year to cure it. X ery seldom less than six months’ treatment in almost every case is necessary before the patient is entirely free from pain and suffering. No ligating, no cutting, no barbarous methods about it. I use Dr. Brinkerhoffs Rectal System of Practice. To ladies we will say th.it you need not fear exposure—there is none. The most refined lady can be made well without any mortification whatever, and scores of such can testify to this. Come and be cured—stay away and suffer death. But remem ber this: Your moral duty is to seek health, and be a joy in your home—not a sad, ; helpless invalid. Duty demands this t-f j you. Act, and act wisely. If :i doctor should accidentally say, “I am trying to fool you and get your money i come and see if he told the truth, and learn who my patients are, and judge what 1 I could say. 1 can cure you. reader, I care not i how bad your case. My operating room i door is open to all physicians to observe the h.'jdm operandi if they will. Truly yours, A. B. JAMISON, M. D„ Who is permanently located at Decatur, Adams county, Indiana. 4tf
