.. PrICE OF FARM-LANDINCREASING. _ —The Germantown Telegraph learns ~ srom severa] quartersthat :the price of farm-land is speedily increasing. ~ There is a good deal offered for sale i~ assignees, which must be sold ;. but - 42~ prices brought by such property ‘= ‘e not to be taken as a criterion, as it i not generally in the best condi--liom, elther as to the soil or appurtenances, and forced sales never com“mand the prices of others. Itis the best sign of increasing prosperity to . see farmd advancing .in price, for afrerball there is nothing likgjjand. A, farm in good condition,: with very fair haildings and improvements, -and * <lscked with horses and. cattle suffi~went 1o meet the requirements of the farmer, we do not know what busiwess man in the community is better «ff or more to be envied. Ile has neéariy all the means of living within imself, and for his surplus he finds a ready m}fpket and the cash with no more tronble and less risk than at«¢nds any other calling we can bring 16 mind o ol ot Propucriox or Hou s,—The - agricnliural editor of the Jowa State “Hegisier.maintains the following sensilde conclusions: - There is no dancer of over-production in hogs. As <ur productisn increases the demand neréases. - The foreign trade in the S apaidact of ihe har ielaran and impan. © Izmt and inc!reasing every yeap. In

11 vear ending> November 1, 1875, we sxported of hog product 457,186,970 poanas. For 1876, lacking 16 days,

e exports were 603,638,542 pou’gdsf Taking the whole éxport for this year, -and allowing 200 pounds to represent = liwe hog (as much of the export was sendered lard and hams,) it will be sesm hat our foreign trade this year Lasiaken 3,028,203 hogs, being at least - a million more fhan the entire annual ; slaughter at Chicago. “And it'took 742345 more hogs in 1876 to supply «ur foreign trade than it did in'lB7s. And these are evidences that there «ill be a lafgely increased demand in 177 over this year. Itis understood ihat there, is now a light stock of old pork on hand. Ifijustice is therefore

done, the producers’ pork would com-

mand as good if not better prices than 1 at prestnt fhroughout the fall and . winter. R, G BRI

" Brmyixe PoTATOES.—.\ considerae portion of the potaté crop of the . +ounlry is kept by being buried in " pitsout of doors. - The most common way is to heap the’ potatoes on top of f{ e gmu{xd and then raise a mound of ¢ iearth over them. Soil thus raised " above the common level is.more ex‘posed to the cold, and consequently {reezes deeper than on thelevél suriace. :From this cause it often happens that the potatoes are reached snd Tuined by the frost.” This of course may be aveided by putting on ¢moungh of dirt to prevent fleezing _ihrongh. But not knowing how much {reezing “"eathefr there is likely-to be «iuring the winter, the farmer is not : ;«’:s?ays sure wlhen he has enough. - ~ommetimes when he feels quite confi~«w+nt on the subject, he is mistaken, - asxd so loses his ¢rop. The following, Trong the Dhio Farmer, will be found = excellent and- safe way to cover ~ potajoes to save them through the . . winter: First cover witha good:layer © of straw, then put about four inches - of dirt, then another good layer of - siraw, and finally put on dirt to any deplh required. Probably -one foot =ll be found sufficient during any of vur wingers. It will be found that the, frost will seldom - penetiate beyond i culer layer of straw, e;\'e}x though - it might go much deeper in solid soil. An opening left at the top and filled with straw, and sheltered with a twmrd, willaid in keeping potatoes, . mmmias ele C A . i

KEEP STOCK WARM.+—\ cow fedon =4 pounds of hay daily, having no - _=helter in. the winter, season;.except jevhaps an open shed about to tumble ¢ <iown, would be in no better condition ' im the spring than she would be, if fed on 135 pounds daily, and kept in a swarm siable at nigh, and allowed the

run of the barn yard in pleasant weatber. This is a result that has substantially béen proved a thousand times. Now, I will compute the loss ‘o the farmer on 10 cows, which are leit through the winter on the unproterted system ; ‘and many barns afford vut slight warmth to stock over the open air, being boarded, up vertically, with cracks between the boards from = balf inch 0 an inch wide, and, all sich barns come under thelosing system of wintering stock. It would be fair to estimate bay to be worth $l5 a tom, as an average value throughout ibe country. Ten cows not well protected, will require 50 pounds a day mbre than when kept in a warm stade, for at least four months, or 112 <ays, worth 2817 cts. daily, or during 132 days 842. Probably the loss on each animal, no matter how fed,would e at least 85, consequenfly farmers build warm barps, butso as to be weli vemiflated in mild weather, and thus £ave mongiix in fodder in a few years 1o pay the cost of them. But much can be done with old buildings, to make them warm; battens can be nalled over the cracks; the roofs can ‘b= repaired, doors made to shut close, and thus the comfort of domestic animals can be enhanced, to say nothing of the saving in fodder. Farmers, do rou realize thisimportant fact? Some of you do not seem to realize it at all; and such men arefalwayszlking of “hard times.” being slack« all they do. e CEETR

SoRE THROAT—SCARLET FEVER.— A correspondent of the Indianapolis Jonrnal writes-thus of his own experienoce upon thissubject: “Toparents =hose children shall be thus stricken down let me suggest that in diphtheria or putrid sore throat] whenever ilse appearance is indicated by a flushe face,apd mxfmm immediately -an emission of yellowish matter from ‘tise mostrils—generally from but one, vat ab the begi_n:ing of the disease, tive swelling of the throat—fil at once = stotiting half full of salt, wetit with cold water; adjust.the vsalt 80 that it may layevenly from ear to ear, and apply at once to t¢; throat. 1f matter shall obstruct the nostril, remove it by ”inf‘thii finger down from The buidgs of the Hose: Keap the foat

‘warm, and excite_ then}&iy rubbing until the child shall sensidly feel the action. Keep the tongue and mouth Moist by dropping into the mouth, or upon the tongue a few 'drops at'a time of rich cream. This is especially necessary and important when the disease is aggravated and the child has fallen into a stupor. -.~ . ' Whatever medical aid may do, the above suggestions will,if carried out, serve as a very material help in restoring your child. - .~ .- The writer thus administered to his own children for malignant diphtheria, and thus put them in condition to receive with benefit the'skill and medicine of a physician, with. which, by close watching and nursing, they were made well, passing, however, from diphtheria through what the physician called diphtheratic scarlet fever. ‘The ?treatment was sim»i)l_y by laxatives, ‘and greatest.caution against currents of air passing too near the patient, at the same time, in both diseases, having a perfectly ventilated room, and disinfecting the whole House and sickroom with chloride of lime. . . - |

‘As scarlet fever approaches.morel slowly, timme is afforded to prepare for it. - By the application of:the above suggestions and prompt faction: our three children -jvel'eispareﬂ, and' this communication is made in the hope that the same admixiistratiogs may be means of saving the lives other dear and loved ones, *. , . = o _h‘ > Come Now and Let-us’ Reason To- ‘. ¥ether. | e Why do people so frequently say to Dr. Pierce, “I suppose yoUr,GQl.d“en Medical Discovery cures everything ?” Because IE has-been -the " practice of knavish #charlatans .to manufacture worthless nostrums: and attempt: to dupe the ignorant and credulous by recommending them to cure every form ot disease. To such an extent has this been practiced that it -is-no wonder that many have acqnired prej-’ udices against all advertised remedies. But Dri Pierce does not .advertise his standard preparations . as. “cure-alls,” aoes not claim that they will perform miracles, but simply publishes the fact that they have been developed as specifics for certain forms of -disease for;which he recommends them, after having tested their eflicacy in many hundred cases. With the mcst gratifying' success. It 'is’ a fact known to every well-informed physician! that many single remedies possess several different properties. :Quinine, for instance, has a tonic quality, which suggests its use ‘in cases of debility; an anti-periodic, Ly which it is efiicaciousin ague; and a febrifuge property, whieh renders it eflicacious in cases of fever. The result of its administration will-also vary with the quantity given and the ¢ircumstances under which it is employed. So, likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery ‘possesses both pectoral and alterative, or blood-cleansing properties of the highest order. Byreason of these two prominent properties it cures two classes of iseases. First, those of the. respiratory.organs, as throat, bronchi: al, and lung affections, chronic coughs and asthma, and second, diseases of the blood and glandular system, in which affections all skillful physicians employ alteratives, ‘as in . cases ,of blotches, eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumdrs, abscesses, and in torpor of the liver or “biliousness.”” While its use is, by its combination of properties, suggested in cases of pulmonary consumptlon, yet you need not take it expecting. it will cure you if your lungs are half consumed, nor because, it is recommended as a blood medicine would its proprietor ‘advise you to ‘take it expecting it to cure cancer. It will not perform miracles, but it will cure many grave forms of disease. !

BULL-DOZIKG. ‘ This New Term in‘Polifical Nomencla- ) ture Explajned. | . : [From the New Orleans TimesJ] We observe that many. of our cotemporaries got the word bull-dozﬁ into thir dispatches and editorials a% “bull-dogged.” . 'We gave the etymology of the word’a few. months ago. It 1s a Louisiana word of negro parentage. Last spring, in the parishes of East and West Feliciana and East Baton Rouge, large numbers of negroes began to join .the democratic party. 'T'he republican leaders determined to put a stop toat, and formed secret societies for the purpose of whipping iu the -backsliding uegroes. Among these the famous “Union Rights Stop” at Mount Pleasant, on the river, which caused so much tgouble, and was finally broken up by tg sheriff, when their oaths, by-laws and list of ‘'members were ecaptured. Their plan!of action was to stop a colored m@h who was suspected of democratic proclivities, ther}-:—‘to_‘*‘serve a notice on him to come'to a certain point and ‘tuke the oath.of the brethren of the Union Rights Stop. If he did not come, they served a second notice, then a third with & threat, and if he still refused, a detachment of the brethren. was sent after him, at night, and he was brpought in, tied and handcuffed,. Ile was then told to sign the stopiand take the oath. Usually terror rthade him comply; but if he re: tused‘he was put down ‘and “whipped ‘'with & bull whip until he econsented to join the league or leave’ the State. In very obstinate cases, the brethren werein the habit of administering a bull’s dosé of several hundred lashes on ‘the bare back. When dealing with those who were hard to convert, active members would call. out, “give me the whip and let me give him the bull-dose.” From this it became easy: to say “that fellow ought tobe bulldosed, or bull-dozed,” and soon bull‘doze, bulldozing and “bulldozers camg, to be stang words. After the exposure of the Union Rights Stop the Republicans of the State sought.to turn -the force of the exposure by applying the térm to all sorts of intimidation. Hence, when they say they mean to exclude the “bulldozed parishes,”. it simply means parishes where intimidation is alleged to'have oceurred. -

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. : The country has passed through a fierce Presidential contest, and the result has been left-in a dangérous and unsatisfactory shape, on account of the unprecedented closeness of thé election, the angry disputes a$ to the votes of certain States,and the failure of the Constitution to provide any tribynial to solve doubts or decide contested points. ' : i " GOV. HAYES ELECTED. ' v . From the best light before it, the Tribune believes that Hayes has received 185 Electoral votes against 184 for Tilden, and is therefore entitled tb be inaugurated President on the 4th of March, 1877.. The highest good of the South, as well as of the. North, would be bLest promoted by his occupancy of the Executive Chair. DANGER OF ANOTHER WAR. But there are grave apprehensions that a ruffianly, ravenous crowd of office-seekers may resort to lawless ‘and violent means to induct the defeated candidate into the office of Chief Magistrate. . All peace-loving and law-abiding men, irrespective of party, must stand together’in this crisis, and crush out the incendiary demagogues - who 'are threatening to: light the torch of internecine war, which would bring ruin and destrue‘tion upon the country. P o The coming year promises to be the ~most eventful and exciting of any since the War. The 77ibune will do everything in its power to have the new President peacefully and lawfully inaugurated, and so- restore harmony and confidencé in the future. Let us never despair ot the Republic. : A REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER. While the Chicago T7ibune is a republican newspaper, and- contributed as much as any other {in the United States tu the success of its party, it is always independent and fearless in the expression .of its views, and aims to be right rather than partisan; and while holding party high it holds the country higher. s GENERAL CHARACTER. | ;

Its movements are ppsitidg, and depend on no springs. It has the novel and incomparable uper . tension, the anti-friction pad. It is not necessary to use A BCrew ‘ driver to fasten the needle;. It will hem and sew on eédging at the same time. : I have used the F. F. Weed Sewing MacHine ncatly five years.
