Setting Out Orchards. Country tlentleruan. 1 Iu:iy -ircharii3 are set out in autumn ; still more in f i r'mj;; but whether set in autumn r -oprii:. the cromul should well be prepared in uutuiiin. If the soil holds water in wet ifiisons, it v.nisl be well undenl rained. Suboilir.x in most localities is of mil -Ii Value. Thi- work, it is true, may be imperfectly jeruinind lifter t tie tree are set and are jirowinir, but the work h more ensily d nie and in u bet It manner beforehand. Stme -rsoii.- init:t(-iily recommend settiti;; trtts where nothint,' el.e can he raise 1, and .n hill-siile or anion;; rocks ami stones; but as a pjod ami well-man. iRcd orchard n communly mere r rolltahle for the ai re it occupies than ;i!i:io?t any other erop, the best vrouml should be chosen tor it, that iood cultivation may be given. It was forineily recoiiinieri'le! to tl!;; wide lioies. This practire answered well for a limited number of trees, where the subsoil was hard and had not been loosened. It pave a pood chance for the roots of the young trees to extend as far as the limits of the bed of mellow earth occupying the holes. We have kncwn trees of some of the tardy-bear-inj; sorts made very productive in this way, the trees siowinf; rapidly while the roots were eon lined to tiie holes, and tho check jriven to Ifieiu as th; roots reached the hard earth beyond tlirew them into abundant productiveness, lint for extensive market orchards, planted with productive sort-, as for instance the H.iidwin at the East, or the Hen I 'avis at the West, it is sullieipiit if holf s nr. du? larpe enough to receive all the roots without Lending, and to depend for Mi:lieient growth on sicoi -u'tivntion while they are young, and an annual or biennial or topdresing with y;ird manure, after they come into bearing. There are few soils too ric!i to impart a pjol healthy growth to voun trees - in connection with mellow culture for the lirst'rive or s-ix tears. The test of this is the measured length of the annual shoots. If the-e shoots, are. not at least two feet I on 5 while the trees are young manure must be added.. The frequent mi-take bhould be avoided of supj osim; that an orchard needs but little care. It requires not only a well selected piet e of ground and good cultivation but constant wat( hfiilne.s to protect-it from insects and other drawbacks. This care is a matter of great economy, for it will cot as much as the land and trees, and it may quadruple the product ami the profits as compartil with a neglected orchard. The one will have hue fruit and plenty of it, selling at pood prices; the other will bear meagre crops of scabby and woriuy specimens which notody wants to buy. For market a few of the most productive and saleable sorts aro to ba chosen; but for Lome supply there should be a succession, extending from the earliest to the latent of the whole year round. In either case avoid costly novelties, and choose well proved and well known standard sorts. Tlie- rnrmrn' llornr, Iowa Homestead. The idea that farmers must necessarily have large, flabby, overgrown horses, weighing from sixteen to eighteen hundred, is gaining favor, and will doubtless prove one of those tidal waves of some popularexcitement. The generality of farmers do not need or require stub a h-vrse. For all practical purposes appertaining to the farm these elephant-like horses fail to meet the requirements satisfactorily. Any one who will take the pains to notice horses belonging to the rural districts, can readily see at a glance that the majority jf farms contain a vast surplus of horse Mesh. That is a majority of those who have these much-coveted horses I will say at least nine-tenths, for there are fully this proportion who rind this surplus horse flesh a decided hindrance in performing the various requirements that the average farmer is bound to demand, whether his team be lare or just the adequate .size. A horse or team the adequate size will perform the different kinds of work which most farmers require of one and the same team (an all-purpose team) quicker, with greater ease and with less feed, than the big elephant-like, inefficient horse already alluded to. The farmer usually, if not always, desire a horse that will answer all purposes; that is, work to the plow, the reaj.er, the mower, the wagon, the bugy or spring wagon, and under the saddle; while there may Le many wh ot necessity require all these desirable qualities of their limited number of horses.- at least they make them -perform all tLe above named kinds of work, which may be satisfactory, or may be performed in such, a way as to give reasonable satisfaction, owing to what manner of horses are thus employed. For the larmer's own use, which means the specified essential requirements already designated, it inatters little whether his horse be able to- trot a mile in 2:17 or not, but it is a matter of considerable importance that he does not resemble that largest of all quadruped the elephant to such a degree as to seriously impede locomotion. Sue. other things being equal, is in this case the measure of efficiency. Then the ad- , .equate size is neither the largest horse nor the smallest horse, but' is Ot that weight and symmetry which will enable him to satisfactorily perform all kinds of work, but should tveigh from 1,0. to 1,25 , which, wiyh the above definitions, will justly 'render hirn the larmer's horse. Jeff. Wavnick. Partial Soiling. I Farmers' Review. 1 Soiling, which must yet become the system for stock feeding on high-priced lands, does not necessarily involve an abrupt chang from entire pasturage to entire soiling. In most cases a gradual change would probablv be the best, since few farmers would be prepared to change their entire pastures to other uses. The Husbandman (Klmira, N. Y.) gites the practice of a New York dairy fanner who practices partial soiling, finding it Tery satisfactory for the three years he has Deen following the plan. JI19 pastures afford partial sustenance to his cows and famish trronnd for exercise. Butheuives one 1 11 1 1 ieeu eacn day ironi erop3 grown lor this purpose. Jiye sown in the fall furnishes the first ami earliest food: then oats -own in plaU in succession, fol lowed by corn planted at successive periods. He estimates that one acre devoted to such crops furnishes as mucl focxi as four or live acres of pasture. He is careful to hatte each plat large enough to last till the next is ready. If not all needed for feeding green it is cured for dry fodder. Bat he emphasizes this point strongly, that ground devoted t ?urh purposes should be made rich, so as to produce the maximum grewth. This partial oiling could be experimented with by any farmer in the next year without involving any violent change in his methods or risk of los, if found satisfactory the system could le eztemiM ju-t as far as found proli table. - The ;o-!in.

I'tatoes. Fanners' Home Journal. 1 Ktsults of the season's experiments with I otatoes at the New York Experiment Statu.n. when summed up. indicated the follow ing conclusions: I otatoes invariably proiiice their tubers above (heir feeding roots. Ordinary cultivation does not break or injure the roots of the potatoes while the plant is izrowirtr. The roots reouire a cool, moist. feeding ground, but the tubers do well in a li?ht. dry surface-soil.

Whole potatoes planted rarely develop all tbeir eyes into growtu, often ne more vines being made than from a sinde eve r!antel I'sing whole seed for the purpo.-e of increasing the stalks or tubers is, therefore, wasteful. If the whole potato w ith one good sprout develooed has that sprout injured or destroyed, several of the other eves mav push out sprouts siuiulta i eouly, and with a large yield of small tubers as the result, l otatoes repeatedly hilled up so that an undue proportion 01 vine is Cov ered with earth are liable to be checked 111 their tulx r formation.

Thomas Jell'cnon was the first to clo.trly state that the plow must consist ot two wedges, one to act verticallr, and the other latterally and in curves s that the furrow may rise and turn over continually ami smoothlv.

Kansxs Farmer. 1 In answer to your subcriber's inquiry of the l'Jth Hist.. Will say. that tue baroernes, in variety, are very hardy, and it is said to be hardy from Canada to the Oulf of Mexi co. As for an ornamental hedge, it projerly trained, nothing in the line of decidious, aud very few of the evergreen hedges, to my estimation, rival the purple-leafed bar berry. I have grown it hear to perfection on bottom and uplaud, and it is thrifty cither place it the ground issuniciently pulverized. It grows from three to live feet high, with vioU t-purple foliage and fruit. Should be planted six to eight inches apart and one inch deer er than it stood in the nursery. and cut back almost to the ground utter transplanting to induce emission of shoots. The next spring cut it back to three or four inches more, and so on every year until your hedge is about three feet high, and by so do ing jou will have a very compact, beautiiiu and comparatively defensive helge. Ambrose Martki.i. XVIuit a Giant of Our Forent Contain. Mr. Amos Marke), n well known and reliable gentleman, writes us from Mount Baker, Sanush River, N hatcom County, . I under date of May 7, 1883, as follows: "Yon are at liberty to publish the following facts in vour paper: A lir tree was cut and hauled at Moan & Monroe's loR;inr camp, on the. Joe l-eary Mougn last taturuay, containing four logs. The first measured twenty-four feet in length and eighty inches in diameter, and contained o,41'4 leet ot lumber, board measure. The second was twenty-four feet long, and seventy-one inches in diameter, and con tained 4,74! feet of lumber. The third, twenty-four feet long and sixty-six inches in diameter, and contained 1,'JII leet Ol 1 11 in Dor. The fourth was thirty-two feet long and sixtyone inches in diameter, and scaled 3, .! leet. making a grand total of lumber in this one tree of r.,H feet. This is one of the largest trees cut in this section during the present season, and 1 took pains to get its accurate dimensions, thinking it might be of interest to some of your reaIers." Poultry Managemeut. The fall is the time in which to make selections of the pullets that are intended as winter layers It must be considered that fowls are adapted for particular seasons, accoraing to tue oreus. Ilm Lehhorns com mence laying very cany, but utucsi given warm quarters and the best of feed r.irely niase gooa winter layers. m lact, all low Is should be made comfortable during the win ter season, but there are breeds endowed with heavier aud closer feathering than Others, wuicti are tuereor enabled to retain the animal heat longer. An examina tion of a Leghorn ' ben will demonstrate that the body under the wins is sometimes nearly naked, being covered only by the wings, while the body of a Brahma is not only covered by the wings but also by a heavy plufr feathering, soft and dowuv, which is serviceable daring the long winter season. There may be exceptions, but such is usually the case. Ieg feathering, however, is of no advantage, as the feathers keep the legs continually damp, whero th$ fowls are confined on Heavy clay soil. The comb is another obstacle to Legherns, Black ?pz:ikh and Plymauth Kocks, such fowls having tall single combs, which are easily frosted when exposed to severe cold winds or when they become wet, as the danger of freezing is thereby increas4d. The combs may be cut oil close t the kead. as also the wattles, if necessary, which operation is not necessarily dangerous, but sometimes beneficial when the combs are very heavy. l'uring the damp weather at this time of the year the roup sometimes makes its appearance, even when the fowls have received thcivcit care that can be bestowed. -There nre many forms of roup, end it becomes contagious in flocks when allowed to have its way uiichecke!; but the mild farm is usually n cold, the ymptoms being a stoppage of the nostrils, which gives the well known hoarse breathintr. with the mouth opened. It sometiraes appears also as a disease of the throat, und other times the eyes and heal are ah'tctcd, in all cases attended by general tie-

billty, loss of.appetite and depresse! spirit.

I he most essential object should.be to separate the sick fowls from the others and re move them to a dry, warm location, feeding on son, nutritious 100a a little cop;era solution in the drinking water is about all the medicine necessary, as doctoring often dees more harm than good. The best remedy is warmth. In selecting the winter layers it is best to reserve those that were hatched early. If the small breeds are kept the pullets hatched us late as the beginning of June sometimes begin to lay about Christmas, but tb ise a month older will give more satisfactory results. The large breeds Brahmas, Cochins and Fly mouth Rocks require more time ing which to crow and mature, and pullets of such breeds, when intended as winter layers, should bo batched as early as IK)ssible, March being the month preferred, ut later hatched pullets of the large breeds often begin to lay early and produce quite a number of eggs before spr-ng begins. Langvhan pullets begin to lay nearly as early as foghorns, which is a good quality for a breed of large fowls, and the crosses of the Langshan with mixed or common fowls also produce good early layers. In crossing lowls one 01 tue oesttnaican be made is to mate a lloudan with Brahma hens, the result being very line, vigorous, large fowls. The brown leghorn cock, when mated with Tartridge Cochin hens, also pro duces excellent fowls, which are not only profitable but beautiful in plumage. i-ceding requires judgment, ior iowi", in orltr to lay and give good results must be given a variety, green food being allowed as a regular addition to the supply of grain. Meat 111 someshape is also essential, and jrood quarters and pure water are very important. As eggs bring better prices now ana uunng the winter than at anv other .time, the biceder will be well rewarded for the care lie mav bestow if the fowls are prom rlv attended to and their wants amply supplied. Household Hints. Keckitios Bisct its are made by mixing self-raising Hour with cream, which roll into a thin, smooth paste; pick, cut and bake immediately. They should be kept dry in a close tin lx. If the Hour is not self raising salt it lightly and mix with it a dessertspoontul of baking powder. Lvn 111:0s Dish. Trim the beards from as many oysters as may be required, wrap each in a very thin shaving of tat streaky bacon (cold boiled bacon is the best); run them one after the other on to a skewer, and hold then ovt r a toast in frontof a clear fire until the bacon is slightly crisp; serve oil t le toast immediately. r.

Wash them perfectly clean. put in a 1 an with a nine water, ami uane until they are tender, lhe time varies with the size of the beet, an hour being small enough allowance for a beat cf medium size When they are done, remove the skiu and serve in the same way that vou do a boiled beat. Yru. FniTTtrs. For thess t.'ie remains of veal should be cut in small neat pieces: Iii each in batter and fry a light brown; in serv ing J iler them high ou a dish, pouring over theia a good brown sauce, well thickened with tou.atces when in season, or, if not, the gravy must itself be thick and strongly fla vored with tomato sauce. Fries ply Loaves Beat half a dozen ideal ly potatoes with a quarter pound of grated ham, two eggs, a little butter, and a little cream, taking care not to make it too moist; form .it into balls or small loaves, ami fry them a nice light brown : they should be fried in butter. li le them on a napkin, and serve with a garnish of fried parsley. Yv'mrK Soi r. Boil in salted water four large or six small potatoes till soft enough to mash hue, add one well-oeaten eg?, a pinch of celery talt., a pint of boiling hot water with a piece of butter as large as a small e';. Stirr the soup until perfectly smooth, strain through a sieve, add a little pinch of white pepper and serve at once. Farmers' Tea Cake To two cups of sour milk allow one large teaspoonful of soda, lissolve this in a little hot water, then stir it in the milk; half a teaspoonful of salt is required, and enough buckwheat Hour to make a stiff" batter. Put this in a well-buttered tin and bake for lial f an hour in a hot oven. Lemon Cream Tie A lemon-cream pie may be baked with two crusts. To one glass or cup of milk allow one tablespoonful 01 corn-starch, the yelks of three eggs, one cup of sugar, the juice and grated riml of a lemon, or, after grating the lemon peel, chop the rest of tbe leinen quite fine; the whites of the eggs should be beaten still' and added to tl e ret just lefore putting it In the oven. Fried Celery. Cut the celery into pieces tl ree r four indies long; boil them tender in .salttd water; drain them; make abutter in the proportion of two eggs to a cupful of rich milk; mix Hour or line bread or cracky crumbs; enough to give it consistency ; roS th pieces of celerv in it, ami fry them to a light brown in hot Urd Serve very hot. Celery can also be cooked as asparagus, boiled temier, and served with a white sauce. Mime Meat. One pound tinely chopped beef suet, two of rump steak (slightly broiled , three of apples, two of currants, two of raisins, one nutmeg, tablespoonful of cinnamon, rind of two lemons, quarter of a pound of mixed candied peel, one jound of sugar, two puarts of cider boiled down to one, with a quart of maple syrup, a glass of raspberry jelly, a heaping teaspoonful of salt. BtTTKF.MII.K Tkacvkes. Two pound" of Hour, one and a half teaspoonful of baking powder, one-eighth ounce of lucarnonate of S0 la mid a pinch ot salt; mix into a linn dough with buttermilk, which should b sour, though not rancid. A few currents and a little white sugar can be added if sweet teacakes are wanted, or, take half pound of Hour, as much carbonate of smLi as w ill lie n a quarter of a dollar, double that quantity of cream of tartar and a pinch of salt; make a stiff dough with buttermilk, knead lightly and roll about halt an inch thick; bake in round cakes. Mjsck Pies without cider, brandy or vine gar are a desideratum, ami an "earnest tem perance woman" in the Union serial savs "I have made them for the last forty year, or taught other in my kitchen to do so. and have never used any of the above ingrelients. J simply use the liquor the beef is boiled in. and if that oes not make moisture enough after adding some New Orleans molasses, which gives a rich brown color to the mass, I add a cup of oofiee left from the breakfast table, with spices to suit the taste. Pies made in this way are not only excellent but are oot liable to sour the ktomach." I'otato Pancake. Fotatoe pancakes make an excellent dish for supper, t'erve with the same embellishments in the ways of pickles or sauce as you would do wero the dish you were offering fried oysters.. Grate a dozen medium-sized potatoes, after peeling them and washing thoroughly. Add the yokes ef three eggs, a heaping tablespoonful of Hour, and, if they seem tx dry, a little milk will do to thin them, with a large teaspoonful ot salt, and lastly the whites of three ezgs beaten stiff and horough!y beaten in with the K)tatoes.

Beat all together into a soft batter and pour into a buttered basin ; allow the pudding plenty of room to twell in the cloth, which it does considerably; plunge into very fast boiling water and kcap boiling two hours and a half. Turn it out and serve with wine sauce; but some prefer to eat it dry. Brows on Qi ay Pi pdis;.

To keep bees either for pleasure or profit, the movable frame should be in every luve. Hon. C M. Clay, of Kentucky, says that the crows saved his c;ors from devastation by the grasshoppers. The Chicago Fat Stock Show will take place in that city November 14 to -J inclusive, and it is believed it will be one of the most attractive ever held. Pumpkins, turnip, beets, potatoes and carrots should be sliced when fed to stock, which prevents chocking, as danger sometimes occurs when whole or chopped pieces are fed. Oliver Dalryniple, of Dakota, who is proV ab!y the largest wheat farmer in the world, estimates the yield on his farm at twenty bushels per acre. He has 00,J acres iu wheat. bkim-miik fed with a little oil meal and oats was found excellent when fed to calves at the Wisconsin Experiment Station. The young animals were kept healthy and growing, but not i'at. It is estimated that the average prollts 0:1 cattle raising in Texas for the past live years have been "iCd per cent. The building of railroads has removed risks consequent on long drives Ir. Stnrtevant's analysis at tho New York Experiment Station shows that the narrow leaved plantain, generally regarded as a weed to le eradicated, poss;sses nearly th-i same nutritive value as timothy. Mr. J. H. "Woodward, of f.ockport, N. Y.. I n grown this year a crop of six-rowed bar ley, estimated at eighty bushels per acre. It was grown on land that was heavily manured for mangels the previous season. The grain of wheat consists of four parts. which mu. t always be taken into consider ation in granulation the bran, genu, gluten inl starch. I he separation ot the two latter fiom the former is all theie is necessary in secntihe milling, but thai is a great deal. A membtr of tho Klmira Farmers' Club stai thai ten loads oi barnvar.l manure. ti"Cl with ?" worth of phosphates and potash to the acre, are worth more than twenty live lo.nh without the phosphates and potash, as manure is olten short in both oi those sub stances. Paint, oil and cxpertshe.ir'ng ran so change the hxks of rauis as to reinler them superior in appearance than they rea'ly are. As v.rinklts are pr'z 1 by the sheepmen a few extra one can be h ft in the wool. whil the Hesh may te straightasa board. Texas Wool C rower Mr. John S. Thompson, an experienced sheen breeder of Arcona, lud , is of the opinion that a cross of Shropshire and Merino sheep is all that can be lesired. the lambs teing vigorous ami healthy, and if the flocks nre well kept may consist of from .'00 to Ir J head Moisture causes the manure heap to ferment when the moisture is not in execs. When manure is undercover it is. best, therefore, to ctuise the liquid portions to How to the centre, from which, if .1 tank is under neath, the liquids may be occasionally pumped over the solil portions. Miller Purvis, correspondent of the Ohio Farmer, says a good word for the tree bean. He planted too late and the frost killel threefourths of his crop, cut the remaining fourth yielded twenty times as many as he plante!. Some stcUs had 100 pods, each with from four to seven beans. The editor of the Ohio Farmer says that some of tho Ohio farmers are selling otV their sheep, Lelicving the present price of . wool will not justify them in keeping them. The elitor reminds them that sheep-will always pay when properly manage!, and .that by another year the business may be very profitable. t From recent experiences the pear seems likely to take tho place of the apple as the fruit most easily grown. It has been, the past three years, a more certain bearer than the apple, is less affected by insects, and has no disease excepting blight, which may be kept in check by prompt cutting away of affected parts. For a ration for stock to produce milk in winter, Mr. 1. W. Kendrick, of Bristol, Mass., in Home ami Farm, recommends four quarts of cornnieal, two quarts cotton-seed meal and four quarts of shorts daily, to be given at two meals, and mixing the feed with hot water adds greatly to the good effect of the food. The California Grain Exchange Committee has issued a statement showing that the wheat yield in the various Counties of California the tresent year is .,0X,000 bushels, an increase of 1 1.OOO.OH) bushels over last year. The total barley yield this year is r,oyo,uiNi bushels, an increase over last year of 2,.VW,UÜJ bushels. Our toughest wood comes from trees growing in exposed places. The limbs of a tree are all the time striving to see which shall have the most suushine. While some perish in the attempt, others meet with only very indifferent success, the strongest of the strong buds survive, Professor W. J. Beat. A Yates County (New York) correspondent of the New York Tribune, reports that a quince bush grafted on common thorn, and without being cultivated, has borne regular. crops of fruit for forty years. He thinks that this points a moral to nurserymen, as the quince upon its own roots is uncertain and short lived. A little salt sprinkled on a man nre heap is one of the best applications both for summer and winter. In warm weather it attracts the moisture and keeps the manure from tirefanging or burning from excessive fermentation. In winter it keeps the heap from frceaingsoliil, and at any season it makes Hie manure more soluble - '' 1 ' 'iz?i A Kansas farmer has a new "method of putting in wheat, which the American Cul tivator recommends fjr trial in other loaLLl tics. He has a narrow ;ron wheel attached behind his drill, which follows in tho drill row and firmly presses the soil with the seed jo a greater depth By his methcl he grows upward of lifty-six bushels per acre. Mr. Y. H. Fuller "tales in' the Country Gentleman, that hi.scow, Mary Anne of St. Lamberts, for the week ending September '20, l.-Kt, under heavy feeling, made butter at the rate of 2H ponrls 4 ounces ier week. For the last three and a half days (14 pounds 2 ounces). She has to her credit, for four months, 417 pounds i ounces, as a four year old cow. Harness should never be kentin the stables which are not entirely free of manure. The ammonia thus produced is rapidly absorbed by tbe leather, and the result is said to be the same as if it were saturated with strong lye. It has the effect of rotting the leather and the harness thus exposed, and will consequently remain sound a comparatively brief time.- , The grains of com that crow on the ends of stalks with the tassel will produce new varieties if planted by themselves. It is in this way that many curious and sometimes valuable novelties are secured. Varieties proluced from seed grown this year ought to be adapted to unfavorable seasons if the conditions of the seed affect the future plant, as is generally believed. Cultivator. The l'oultry Messenger says: "The Tou louse geese can bo kept w ithout any more water than they need to drink, although they, like all ther water fowls, thrive better w hen they have access to a pond." The question is whether such a plan is profitable, for while they may not become 1 incased or otherwise unhealthy, the unnatural method may detract from their usefulness as breeders. Calves born twins, when of the same sex, brcol as regularly and read'Iy as those which cciuc at a single biith, andoltvii iuhcr.t (he

says the Iowa Homestead; but in making this estimate that journal ovenooss tne lact that there are many cows of large size that an not compete with smaller ones. The breed and the manner of fecling influences the yield, while quality is sometimes gained it the expense of quantity Experience this year shows that the warm weather below t30 really counts for nothing in maturing the corn crop, says the American t'ultivator. The same is true of millet and Hungarian grass and of grapes (among fruits). Some of these are so tender that a single cold night will apparently retard their grow th for several days, probably by suddenly cooling the loose soil, which s-jveral days of warm weather will be re'juirelto heat again.

TheSecret

of the universal success oi Brown's Iron Bitters is sinv ply this : It is the best Iron preparation ever made; is compounded on thoroughly scientific, chemical and medicinal principles, and does just what is claimed foi it no more and no less. By thov'ough and rapid assimilation with the blood, it reaches every part of the system, healing, purifying and strengthening. Commencing: at the foundation it builds up and restores lost health in no other way can lasting benefit be obtained. c DearYe-n Ave., Chicago, Not. 7. 1 ha Wen a reat jafTerer from very vik siora-.ch, heartburn, an J dyspepsia in its ,-5rst fcrm.

Georpe Stephenson's "Rocket," and the magnifi cent locomotives of to Tay are built upon the same general principle, yet the machine with which the great eniueer astonished his ac is interesting now only as an illustration ot the beginning of the Invention. There were plasters with holes in them long before BENSON'S CAPCINE lOR0L'S PLAS TER surprised both thepuMic and the physicians; and tbe triumph of the Capclne is founded upon the partial successes, or the utter failure of its predecessor''. Everything of value in the old porous X'laster is retain! ra the Capcine; butat this point fill comparison ends, and contrast begins. For example: The old plasters were slow in their action ; the Captine is quick and sure. The old piasters lacked the power to do more than to impart slight, temporary relief in cases easy of treatment ; the Capcine penetrates the ystem and permanently 'cures the troubles for which it is recommended. The old plasters depended for any cool result they might attain, upon an accident of tbeir makers and tbe naked faith of their wearers; the Benson's reaches its enla by means of the acientilio combination of tbe rare medicinal ingredients which it contains. In brief, tbe old plasters. like 8tephenson'S discarded engine, are switched oft the track, while the Benson's go on Its way winning golden opinions from all sorts of people. Yet ia tbis very fact lies the leading danger to the people whobuy and use this reliable and scientific remedy. "Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays virtue." Imitation is tbe concession failure makes to success. Benson's Plasters arc parodied In nam and slyle. , . . Beware of swindles. -Tbe genuine have the word CAT-CINE cut iu the center. Price 23 ceuts.
