Haigh gives the following wlole-f-oiiie advice on mortgages to farmers Jin tha Americaa Agriculturist for August: Mortgages are necessary and beneficial incitrilizfd society, bat there are unpleasant features about them. They often enable man to accomplish what be could not otherwise do, and they also often involve a man who would have been otherwise successful. They often enable a man to get oat of trouble which he could not otherwise avoid, and they perhaps equally often make miserable a liTe which would have otherwise bsen happy. It is ca?y to get them on to he farm, but it is not always so easy to get them of. Farm mortgages are 8bout the best inTestments that capital can lind. Investors centrally like them. They partake of the natare, permanence, and other substantial qualities of real property, but ara relieved from many burdens imposed upon land. Therefore: (1) Do net niortgaza the farm until it see rtn absolutely necessary. Hit, as a general rule is less valuable than a particular one, it may te well to specify, by ad iicg: -) I0 -tot mortgage to build a Hue bouse. Py so doing, you will have to piy money ftr an investment which does not brirp meney. (öl Do not mortgage the farm to buy mere land. When there is absolute certainly that mere can be made out of the land than the cost f f the mortgage, this rule might not apply. Hut absolute "certainty is rare; mistaken calculation is common. (1) Io not rxortffsge the farm ulc S3 you are sure ef the continued fertility of its soil. Miny yerscES borrow wih an expectation of re payment baed on an experience of the land's virginity only, which, on failing, miy l?ave the land less predictive, and the means of repayment thus be removed. In this way trouble begins, which may result ia the Ion of tte farm. Keep very clear of morgigis. Preparing Fruit for Market. "Farmers are cheats," we heard a city man remark the other day. '! do not bay a ba ket of strawberries that has not the best and biggest on top, and when the peach season comes I get a Jo en or two of tine peaches a the top. wlüe the rest of the basket i3 filled with email, green and gnarled fruit: they are all cheats." The very next day after hearirg this remark we were among the fruit commission houses, and in one place sav some youcg men who had bought several crates ef berries to peddle. Ihey Lad a let of smaller basket;, to which they transferred the berries frm the larger cues they had bought, and as they Ml lei these, they topped them with the lareest berries with surprising dexterity. We concluded that all the cheating, in strawberries at least, was not dose by the farmers. That there is much "Jeaconlng" (the market phrase for topping) of peaches and other fruits, we do not doubt, yet the tendency is all in the other direction. Take pea:hgrowers, for example, those who are regularly in the business, and expect to continue it, strive to make their brand upon a crate or basket a guarantee of honest packing. This is insisted upon at all the meetings of peachgrowers. Only recently we received the transactions of a fruit growers' society in North Carolina, in which this point, honest packing. was dwelt upon at trreat length. "Honesty is the best policy," is not a proverb of the highest moral tone, as it implies that it pays to be honest, but the peach-growers are willing to adept it. In packing peaches, the first point should ba to assort them, making as many grades as the condition of the fruit requires. When brought to the packing shed, the fruit is at once thinly spread in the shade, in order that it may cool as mach as possible. In assorting, any that are at all soft are put aside, tobe left at heme; then two or Ihre a qualities, extras, firsts and seconds, are made, and with the beet growers, the packages of each are alike all through. It is allowable to turn the colored sicks of the tep layer uppermost, in order that the fruit may appear at its best, but not to select large specimens for the top lav er. Those who send peaches to market for the first time, will lind it to their advantage to observe this rule. In packir g grpes for market, the box is opened at the bottom, line large bunches are laid in and the box filled up with smaller bunches. This is done in order that the fruit, when the top is taken ofT, may present a good appearance, and if the filling is done with good fiuit, even if not the most select, there is no harm dene. But if. as is sometimes the case, poorly-ripened fruit, and even loose berries are used to rill np, the grower will in time rind that his brand is not in demand in the market. Tae fruit grower, who expects to continue in business, can not alfjrd to pact his fruit dishonestly. Spare the Toads. There is no batter abased, and probably no more useful creature In the garden and npon tie faini than the toad. That apt eimile, 'iike a toad under a harrow," tells the story of his wrongs. And now that oar harrows are aimed with steel teeth, and are supplemented with clod crushers and caltivatorof various types for comminuting the soil, the sorrows of the toad are intensified, and he ia threatened with extinction in all cultivated lields. Stay thy Land from slaughter, tiller of the soil. The toad is as useful in his place as the implements of tillage you drive over his back so thoughtlessly, "fhe jewel in his bead" is not there, but in his capacious stomach, that always has room in it for on a more bug, one mere worm, that destroys the food of man. Watch his habits for a day. and observe the lightning thrusts of his torgue as he scoops in your enemies, andyoi will have a better appreciation of his work, and of his place in eood husbandry. If vour garden is without toids, you can'afljri to purchase them fcr stock. They will pay good uivicencs, as sureiy as superphosphate. Apple for Market. In selecting early apples it is imoortant to regard appearance, aa such fruit is judged by the eye. A friend told ns a few years ago mat two trees or tae "summer Jaeen" were the most prctitable of anv in a lares orchard It ia later than some others, but its larze size and showy character it being hand somely striped ana shaded with red caused It to bring the highest price. Another very showy fruit and one of the most attractive is the "Duchess of Oldenburg." It ranks, perhaps, as an early autumn rather than ai a summer fruit, but is so hardy, productive acu nanosome that it should not be omitted, Among other excellent early sorts are: ." Wil liam'a Favorite," a handsome red fruit: "Te toftiiy, a Kassian apple, now besoming very popular; "lied Astracnan." a beaatifulred.but sour apple, and rerhaDi more generally planted than any other; "Carolina l.ed June" is similar In color. "Earl Har rest," "H:gh-top Sweet," "Large Yellow Bough" and "Summer Pippin" are annt ice oest oi toe yellow or green apples. We Lave given a su.ticiently large selection for a merket orchard. If one wishes choice fruit for heme use, he can find nothing better than the "Primate." "Kariy Strawberry." "Summer Kose," and "bummer Sweet Paradise,"

tut five the eccocd nimed, they are not desirable for orchard caltnre. Selecting eir! applet, and packing them ctrefully in nw ball-barrel?, lined with white paper, or in suitable crate, will greatly iocreaas the market returns for this kind of fruit.

Early Plowing for rail TTbsat. The first object gained by early plowinz is time for the proper preparation of the seedbed. All powitle fertility sboald be made readily available. To be so it should be s j1ubie. and division aids solution. The ground becomes bard in July and August, and if plowing is delayed too long the soil breaks upinhsrd lumps. If plowed early it will turnup moit aiid fine. Rain and air are EBturt a two great disiitegrating forces. eds germinate quickly and plants grow rapidly in a f.rm seed-bed. The increase of iitfct eremiea of wheat makes late sowing, ccnpled with rapid, vigorous growth, desirable. HfDcethe importance of af.rmseedbd. mhich al&o prevents mach freezing out f the plante. To make the seed-bed firm, it mutt first be tine. It is not a hard soil, but ccnijact, fine soil that is desired. It may be compacted with the roller and barrow; but if the farmer, by early plowing, c in gein the aid of a heavy rain, it will save him much labor, and it will do the work of prejarirg the soil far better than he cm alone. Another object pained by early plowing is the dettruction of weeds. They are robbers of the wheat, and the f ooner their growth is stopped by plowing, the less plant-focd they will take from the soil. Early plowing will destroy them before they mature their ssedi, r Ld tLus prevent perpeiuating their kind. Late plowirg admits of a large growth, and when this is turned under by the plow, it is impofsible to compact the seed-bed, and the green manure affords a harbor for enemies. Early plowing admits of a better application of manure. Manure is most needed in autumn, and to be at once available to the roots of the young piaut, it must be line and netr the surface; not oq top of the groand, but thoroughly iccorporated with the upper layer of soil. If the ground is plowed eaily, the manure can be applied to the surface, and the work of preparing the seedbed will tine it and mix it with the soil. Commercial manures should be sown with the grain. llarlv plowing admits of atmospheric fer tilization. Whether it directly adds the ele ments of fertility to the soil or only frees and unlc t ks that which it already possesses, is mmateiial. Plowing the land exposes a greater surface and permits of the eaiy psfjase of the air into the Interior of the seil. The Crape Vine in Angus?. While grpe vines have more enemies than almost any other fruit -bearing plant, they are, vith the exception of .the little understood "rot," easily maca-d if taken in time. Mildew is usually prevalent this month. If neglected, but little fruit can be hoped for. Mildew is easily kept in subjpctioa, if sulphnr be applied in time, as directed last month. If a rain falls s ton afters llphur has been nsed, the application should be repeated. If the vines are kept well dusted with sulphur, the trouble will make but little headway. The insects that infest the vine at this season are mainly lave end solitary caterpillars and beetles, destructive enough, but bo scattered that hand-pickirs h the rniy remedy tatt can be aprlie d. Where dropping) are teen cn the ground beneath th vines, searca for the cateriillar that makes them. Oa old virjes there will tf:en appear vigorous shoots from the ba-, or at the root, and anywhere upon the eld st in. These, as a general thing, are not needed, and should be removed as scon as noticed. If the laterals continue to push out, the newgrowth should be rincbed back, leaving the lower leaf. Where vinrs, trained to a trellis, have been shortened, the uppermost bud will often start into crowth. This Ebould b9 treated like a lateial, picchirg it back to the loffer lesf. and repeating the operation as often ai a new shoot starte. Those who grow grapes to compete for prizes at the various exhibitions sometimes torn the berries In the clusters. that the remaining fruit may attain a larger size. I lie bheep Grob. During the hot days of midsummer sheep often huddle together with their noses upon the giourd, or in some other Constrained po sition. This is done partly to secure them from the attack of the pestering gad-fly (Estius ovis), which is the parent of the grub in the head. The insect is closely re lated to the bot My, that deposits its eggs upon the neck, shoulders and forelegs of horses, from which they are removed by the teeth of the animals to allay the itching, and are taken into the stomach and develop into the troublesome bot?. The female sheep gadfly aims to deposit her eggs in the nostrils of the sheep, and the animals.'.apparently aware ' I tte efiects to follow, try to prevent it. If tle eggs are laid they soon batch, and the our. g grubs ascend the nostrila greatly to the distress of the atTecttd sheep. The "worms" attach themselves to t'ie sinuses of the nose, by means of hooks like these of the horse bot, and live upon the mucus secretions of the irritated surface to which they cling. Wrhen fully grown, the grubs work their way down through the narrow openines, by which they entered when first hatched, and again cause the sheep much pain. The grubs fall to the grcund, and burrowing for a few inches, become chrysalid?, which develop into the psrfeet flies in about two months. The grubs pass from the sheep in early summer, and the tlies ccme out ef the ground from July to September. A daub of tar upon the nose is the best preventive, aid should be frequently applied during the summer months. Ibis may be done by sprinkling some meal or salt over the tar in a trough, when the steep will apply it themselves aa theveatthe meal. Some firmers plow, furrows "in the pasture, to furnish the sheep a good place to buiy their noses. The sheep grub is not fatal, bt,t very di;greeable,-and doubtless has a bid eC'ect on the general health of infected sheep. If any ODe desires to study the grabs, be n ay tied tbem in many of the head3 of shet p killed at the shambles. The Grape Yiu PI am. A caterpillar with a very long name(Pteropberus peii'celidactylns) works in an interesting manner upon ihe grape vinej. About the time a third cluster ia forming on a vigorous shoot, the young leaves at the ex.' trerrity may be found fastened together, ruakirjg a cavity, in which one or more caterpillars rind a retreat. The mature insect is a moth of a tawny yellow color, with a very rpld flight. Tiie wings are split np into tratner-liktt lobes, and on this account the Insect is known as the Grape Vine Plums. The larv.v batch soon after the grr.ps leaves begin to expand. At tirst the caterpillars are nearly smooth, but after each change of skin the hairs become larger and more numerous. They feed for about a month upon the tender grape leave, and then, fasenicg themselves by the hind legs to the underside -of leaves, etc., they change into the inactive or pupa state. A second brood is not known, but if there is one, it can do but little injury. The method of treatment is hand picking. The part attacked should usually be removed in the summer pruning or pinching, and therefore the Tlume is not very destructive. Sometime the third cluster of grapes is included in the fold of leaves and silken threads, and if this is to be preserved, care must be taken in removing tho unsightly twisted tips of the infested branches. Pur IV ate r tor nogs. Mr. J. M. Stahl writes as follows on the above subject in the American Agriculurist for August: Svuneare subject to the same laws that govern the health of other animals. Vegeisble nd animal matters, in a decaying stete, when introduced into the system, are detiimental t health. Such matters are readily introduced with water, being taken directly into the stomach, soon pass to the intestines, etc., and become a source of disease. Experience and observation have convinced us that a large per cent, of swite disease is produced by the dis

use f erms being carried into the ntomsch in fool water. ltipow believed that this Ed many otrter diseases are dae to minu e organisms, n low in the scale cf organic life that it isdißlcolt to say whether they a 'e vegetable or aiiinial: they are kaown by the general name of "disease germs " The vitality of these germs ia not great ex-wpt when pmerve d, as it is In water containing orgmlc substances. In the water of pools, ditches and poads their vitality is preserved for some time. If hogs are forced to drink such water tbry take into their bodies the seeds of tliseare. In August hogs suffer the mos from nnwbolescme water. Durine this uonta they nqouemuch water, and it is more essential tbat it be rure than during any other time of the yea'. The sun is hot, the air dry, the earth parched; the hog bas a compact bo Jy. formed largely cf fat. small lurgs imbedded in mattes cf flesh and fat, and with its nostrils near the ground. It inhales dust, which in part cotsists of decaying vegetables. Ererytbirg conspires to produce a feverish state of the body, and a great thirst, to be allayed only ty large quantities of old water. Bit water from creeks, ponds and the like are at thi reason the most heated. The greatest fatality among swi.e is in September and October. As the period for the inception of the diieaee to its fatal termination is fron thirty to forty days, it would appear that the disease germs are most often taken into the body cf tae animal in Aueust. Green Corn for Piga. In the summer and early fall feedin? of pigs, we Lave found sweet corn one of the best and most convenient kinds of fodder. Pork is made to the best advantage by putting the pigs, as soon as tbey ar weaned fiom the tow and have learned to eat milk and meal, iL to the pen, end keeping them there under full feed until they are ready fors!a;i2hter in November or December. With a mod breed

of swire there is no difficulty in jnaking Martli pjgs weigh from yj to nj pouid, at eight or nine months oil. With plenty of Indian meal and fkimmed ruiik they will grow rapidly until the corn is large en ugh to cut. Ab jut the 1st of Angast this should be given as an additional ration. The pigs will eat the green stalks and leaves with the greatest relish after the ears have been plucked. It is an excellent appetizer, helps the digestion of more solid food, and promotes the tbirft of the animals. Field corn may not be quite so nutritious, but no better use can be made of that, after the ears are in milk, than to cut and feed it to fatten swint. It ccsts much less to make pork in summer than in cold winter weather. The Use of a Oij Well. There are certain household wastes which can iiot be ftl to tfce poultry or pigs, cm not be burred, and will not decay on the coaipoi heap. These, in a country place, where the cat t of the city scavenger is unknown, will accumulate. The articles we refer to are old fi nit ca- 8, tinware past mending, saucep'ns which a crsek has rendered usele. old bntls and leaky stoneware jag) and jar. Toete aid others will accumulate, and a proD?r re gard fot neatness forbid following a too c mimoo custom of throwing them into the roil. If a rubbish heap is established In an out of the way place, enterprising boys will find it aiid scatter its accumulation). There Is but one effective way to disjeo! rubbish of this decription bury it. A dry well is a useir.'; ar'j tnc-. to every neatly kept country place, be it large or small. In an out of the way cirnerdig a ell or pit, cover it with puces of plank too heavy for children to remove, anil drop into this all kinds of indestructible rubbish VS btn this well, which need be but a ie feet deep, is partly rilled, dir another neir bv. rsing the earth taken out to over the rubbish in well number one. This effectually disposes of the unsightly accumulations of rubbish, while the amount of labor retired is not laige, and the incidental drainage atfolded may be bererica' Ivy Pfctaonl-g. The 'Toison Ivy." also called "Poison Oak," and in some localities known as "Mercury." is often the cause of great dis tress. The vine is abundant all over the country, one form being kw, running alorg on banks and ramblirgover stone walls. Another form climbs the highest trees, clinging to the bark by its many rootlets. It is often confounded with the Virginia Creeper; indeed, we have known it to be planted as an ornamental vine, it having been mistaken for that. The two are readily told apart, the Viiginia Creeper having its dark-green, shiny leaves, five-parted, waile the light green leaves of the poison vine are three-parted. The Poison Ivy is so very abundant that were all equtlly susceptible to its influence, we should hear much more of its effects than we do at present. With many the poison produces only a slight eruption on the skin and an intense itching. Others are more seriously. ailVcted and the face swells up to such an extent that the features are hardly visible. Nearly every locality has its popular remedies for the poison, and new ones are frequently proposed. As a general thing mcst cases are relieved by keeping the bowels open by the use of salts, and washing the eruptions with a strong solution of sugar of lead. The latest remedy, which is now goirg the rounds, is to bathe the affected parts with lime water applied as hot as it can be borne. This is simple, the remedy is usually at hand and is worth trying, as other alkaline washes have been found useful. No harm can result. The Soldlere' Orphans' Home. The Times and News made quite a "h.oodo" the other day by asserting that Dr. White and his famiiy had scooped in all the oni:as and positions tbat belonged to the Soldiers' Orphans' Heme, at Knightstown, Ind. We have received tho following communication in relation to the matter, and it comes, too, from a disinterested party: Soldier' Orphax1 Home asd j AVLVM VOR FeEKLK Minded children, July l), 1SSJ.

1880. Indiana Was Carried by Der&ey and the Gau?.

Hon Bon the Crtrp 2 Dill Were Distributed Throughout tbe ttat In Great Bauche. New York Sun i "Hurrah," shouted the excitable Jewell when he met Dirsey alone, "the battle's won." Doreey, grim, earnest and aa full of cerve as ever, did not allow his joy to affect his business. But it really seemed as though the party were now getting ready to fight a battle. . There tad been tome doubt about that before. Within a week after the Filth avenue conference Wall street had subscribed a very large amount of money, not far from $500,000. At the same time began that remarkable, and, at the time, rnexplained zeal which the old Stalwart leaders suddenly took in the Republican canvass. Grant, Conkling, Don Cameron took hold, and the political temperature sprang from zero to fever heat. These three leaders made tieir memorable visit to Garfield at Mentor, and Grant and Conkiing took the stump. But while all this firework badness was going on, there was one man who had more serious matters to attend to. In constant communication with Garfield, Dorsey began to organize for an Octobr victory in Indiana. The eye cf the public belDg distracted by the splurging and hurrah-boys style of campaigning that followed the Fifth avenne conference. Dorsey bad abundant opportunity to put into operation, without bein? detected, the plan of campaigning in Indiaia that afterwa-d won the battle, and which brcvightfrom Garfield those expressions of thanks and grateful acknowledgment which Dorsey row has in bis possession. Dor:ey's plan invclved tte most thorough canvass of the State of Indiana that has been made ince the vigorous days of O. P. Morton. Kvery voter was enrolled, and the tirst canvass tho we J tbat the S'.a'.e was hopelessly Deniccratic. Of the purely strategic and orgsn:z'rg part of the work it is not necauary to sreak. except toiay tbat it won for Dorsey the loudtst praises from those who anew what he had done, and caused Garfield to speak of him as a "prodigy of political ability." In the latter tart of September, after Dorset's organization had been perfected, after every voter had fceen placed, and the iorljecce that couid be brought to bearoneach voter had been thoroughly learned, aspec'al meettcger left New York for Indianapolis lie bed with him over $4X1,090, either in cssh or in convertible pippr. This mo:iey bad all been raised in New York, and pricpaliy by the etf.rts of Levi P. Morton. Do -sey rever touched a penny of the money, though urged to see its distribution personally. He was there not only to ee to it that his plan of organizt'ion was followed to the letter, but also to prevent so far as p s ible. any of the money from stickim in the pcokets of men who were trusted to dis tribute it. When the money reacotd the It cal Committees it was found to bj largily in crisp, new 1 bills. It is believed tbat M r. John C. Xew could tell how bills and draf -s cf large denomination were thus coover el into bills of t jis denomination. At all events there they were. They were distributed through the State, just as ballots were, in great bunches. The destination of esoo. was perfectly well known, and by noon of election day they had fallen like saowrJakcs silently all over the State, although more in seme parts than in others. Then came tbe count of polls in the evenirg. The $2 bills and the $ 1 J.'.OOO, combined with Dorsey's plan of organization, had won. The Deniccratic party was snowed under by greenbacks, and a gieat hurrah went up all over ihe land among Republicans that the principles of the party had triumphed in Indiana. The Fifth Avenue Hotel Conference was a success, and Dorsey was admired an 1 congratulated. Subsequently Gencal Arthur, then Vice President-elect, in a burst of confidence at the famous dinner given to Dorsey. summarized it all in one word, "Soap." Garfield, Aitbur, James, Wayne MacYeagh and other Republican leaders knew at the time what had been done, and all vied in doiDg Dorsey honor. VII. But the effect ct the October election Injlndiana was only moral and it was feared it would be temporary. Both Dorsey and Brady asserted that the pame kind of argument that had been used in October must be used again in November, or the State would be los. A two-dollar bill was good only for one election. More money mustbe raised, and the Republican managers in casting about for means thought of the Star Route contractors. Garfield himself, calling to mind his investigation and his discovery that the contractors were receiving gTeat sjm3 from the Government, felt that they ought to subscribe. Other leading Republican managers had the same opinion. One day Jay Hubbell called upon General Bradj-, then Second Assistant Postmaster General. "Brady," said he, "the Star Route contractors must subscribe at least $10,000 to the campaign fund, and you must collect the money.' Bredy replied that there would be no difficulty about raising that amount. He was willing to undertake to raise it, bnt he didn't propose to burn his tirgar, In view of Haves' order, and the feeling against Government employes soliciting subscriptions. Hubbell thought thst Brady was altogether too sensitive about it, but Brady was firm. "Give me." said Brady, "something that I cai fall back on in case of trouble and you shall have the money." Hubbell asked Ladv if a memorandum of seme sort from R. B. Hayes would be sufficient, and Ersdy said that it would o! coarse, provided it was tbe right kind of memorandum. Hubbell promised to get it, and went to H syes forthwith. Hayes refused to write ary menu rand am or letter. He did not forbid the raising of the money; he only refused to do anything that would throw the responsibility ftr it upon hau. Hubbell was in destair. He labored again with Brady, bit the Assistant Postmaster General was firm as a rock. Hubbell then communicsted with Dorsey. and the result was tbat Hubbell re-tun-ed. to Brady, saying, "Would you undertake to raise that money from tne S:ar Route contractors if you should get areqiett or a memorandum from General Garfield?' Brady had little faith in Garfield. He could rot forget tbat Garfield had promised to defend the Star Route appropriations and had failed to do so. Still, after considering the matter for awhile, Brady said that he would try to raise the money, provided a satisfactory document were received from Garfield. Hubbell at ones wrote both to Garfield and Dorsey, who happened to be at Mentor at the time. The project was talked over be.tween Garfield and. Dorsey, and at that time Garfield expressed himself very frankly about the Sur Route contractors. He knew that they were receiving large contracts from the Government, at1 he thought that they ought to be willing to contribute something for the success of a party that had not only given them opportunities, but could protect Ihem in .the future. Garfield then showed Doreey a letter that he had written to Brady at Hub Dell's suggestion, in which he requested Brady to exert himself to collect tbe money. Dorsey peremptorily told him not to eend the letter. At Doreey's suggestit li, the queer and notorious "My Dear Hubbell" letter was written. In it occurs the expression, "Ask Brai'y how the depirtments are doing," and this was intended to be a bint, a request upon which Brady would act When Brady first saw it he treated it with, contempt He thought he saw in it a willineness on the part of the candidate to make a cat's-paw of him. But he Mnaliy consented

to collf ct tbe money. With the letter aa an authority, he did collect a large sum of rneney, part of which ha tok to Indiana, where it was spent, with Garßeld'a knowledge, by himself, and where it would do the id st gx d. Euch is the history of the "My Dear Habbeir Jetler.

To Farmers and farmers' Wlves-A. Week In the Country A Good Idea. The custom has grown up in Eastern cities of giving to those cor ficed in the city a week in the country. Few know the sufferings and discomforts of the poor the heated room;, the intolerable smells, tbe nights without refreshing Eleep. Little children lie sick and die who might with country air and country food be made well. There are washerwomen and sewing women to wbon a new life and a new hope would be imI sited by a few days rest These last could work in return for their board, atd perbapn daring the pressure of barest they would be of aid to you. Will j on aid ua in giving to these children and women a week in the country? In wriline state 1. Whether ycu can take women or children. 2.

The Frankfort' Crescent says: Clinton County has the largest corn crop ever put out; it will be immense. It adds: The 'farmers complain that the wheat heads, many of them, are light, that something has interfered with the filling; the rust has also hurt the wheat considerably. The latest estinate of tbe xheat crop is that it is only 12 per cent, less than the crop of lSi2. Ihe wheat harvest in this section is about over end the farmers express themselves well pleased with the yield. In fac t, it has been much better than was expected and tbe bountiful prospect for corn will, without an accident, more than make up for the falling off in wheat. As a consequence, the farmers are in good spirits and are by no means discouraged.

TBE DINGER OF OYER-EXEETIOV. A Stalwart Itaa Becomes Weaker Than a Child ad Then Be covers His Former Strength. Waterloo (N. Y.) Observer. In these daya of rowing giaoti and athlet'c heroes fine physical development is more observed than ever before since the time of the Athenian games. A man who shows the elements of physical power is looked up to far more than in the days of our ancestors possibly because there are fewer specimens of well-devekp'd manhood than tben. An emissary of this paper met a magnificent specimen of physical power a few days since in the nersou of Dr. A. W. McNames, of Waterloo. His muscles, which showed unasual developmett, were as hard as wood. At his request the writer sought to pinch him in the arms or legs, but found it wholly impossible. A realization of what is meant by an iron man was fully made manifest. "Have you always been eo stalwart as this?" inquired the news gatherer. "Not by any means," was the reply. "When a young man I was always strong and active, and felt that I could accomplish anything. This feeling so toot possession of me on one occasion that I attempted to lift a box which four men found impossible to move. I succeeded in placing it on the wagon, but in two minutes from tbat time I was cncouscicu', acd remained so for hours, and when I recovered consciousness I vomited a lare quantity, of blood. From that day I began tor row weak and sickly. I believed that I had suffered some internal injury and exj?erienced a general debility, waich seemed similar to the effects prodacd by malaria. My back was very weak. I had no appetite, and at times loathed food. Mylipiware paicled and cracked. My head Celt as though it were entirely open at the top, and it pained me ou the side intensely. In s'x weeks' time I had fallen away from 'JOS pouEds to less than 170. I was in a most wretched condition. 1 was completely discoursed." "What did the doctors say about you?" "Almost everything. I consulted no less than six dilferent physicians. They all treated, and none did me any good. At that time I was suffering intensely. 1 could not Bit upright, but was obliged to rest in a cramped, uneasy position. 1 was compelled to uriDate every five minutes, and I passed over three quarts every day. I was not living, I was cxislirg. "One night (how well I remember it!) my wife had put tne children ail in bed wLen the feeling came over me tbat I sho i'd 1 ve but a very short time. My wife and I talked matters all over, and I gave the minutest directions as to what she shou'd do after I was gone. I was not in a flighty condition by any means, for the doctor, on leaving town the diy followirg, bade me good bye, ssying he ifever expected to see me as in, for 1 was suffering with Bright' disease of the kidneys in its last stages. Within the next few days more than twentv friends came to bid me goodbye. Anions h number was Dr. John L. clark. He asked me what 1 had u?eil in tie way of medicines. I told him. He then recemmended a remedy of which I had beard mr cb, but about which I was very skeptical. If faith were an element of power it certainly v. as lacking in my case." "And so yon did not trv it? ' "On the contrary, I .cid try i', and to my surprise it seemed to go to just the spot. Indeed, it was tbe most palatable thing I had taken into my mouth for months. I relished it." "And did it cure you?"' Do I loot as Hit did?" Yes, indeed. What wa3 it? ' " amer's Safs cure." ' A proprietary med cine!' "Of course. W'hatof that? I suppose I once had as great a prejudice agai est advertised medicine a any one could have. When I was MudyLg medicine at Ann Arbor, Mich , 1 used to vow with the rest of the class tbat we would fight all such remedies at all times. When a man comes down to the last hour, however, and bids his wife and friends good bye, such bigoted prejudices as these vanish, I can assure you, and any remedy that cao. cure is cladly welcomed." "And bow have you been sines then?" "As well or better, than before." "Do you still exert your Btrength?" "Certainly. But I do not over-exert, as formerly. My etrength is increasing every day, and my health is number one. I know that my life was saved by Warner's Safe Cure, and I believe it is the best medicine tbat was ever compounded by any chemist or physician. I am willing the doctors should eneer atme for such a s'atement if they choose. Rut I have proven its truth, and am prepared to stand by tt." The above experience should be of great value to all who are suffering. It shows the deceptive nature of this terrible malady: that all symptoms are common to it, and that there is but one way by which it can be absolutely avoided. Remarkable Escape. John Kuhn, cf Laiayette, Ind.. bad a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story: "One year ago 1 was in the laf t stages oi consumption. Ourbett phvslcians gave my case up. I finally got so low that our doctor said I could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased a bottle of Dr. William Hall's Balsam for the Lnngs, which benefitted me. I continued until I took nine bottles. 1 am now in perfect health, h&ving used no other medicine."

The blood is the fenndatien of life, it circulates through every part of the Lody, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the cn!y sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood. These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities aree that nothing let iron will restore the blood to its Datural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause headache, and are otherwise injurious. Erown's Iron Litters will thor oughly and quickly assimilate ith the blood, purifying and .strengthening it, and thus drive disease fitm any part of the system, and it will not Llacken the teeth, :&use headache or constipatiou, and is t-osi-tivcly tut iDjurious.
