Small Farm Maximss.

1. Small farms are cheaper and easier to manage than large ones, and pay better forcapital invested. Therefore, small farms are best. 2. If you want to make your farm pay, you must give it your daily personal attention. But if your farm is too large you cannot do this; hence, as I said above, small farms are best. 3. If you don’t want your farm to ran away, you must stop the little leaks. We may expect fewer leaks on a small place than on a big one; hence again, small farms are best. 4. Feed your land well, and it will feed you. It takes less to feed a few. acres than a great many. So you see < small farms are best. . 5. If you would,, live and eiyoy life, work a little, then rest a little. But it you have a large farm you must labor all the time.- Here again, small farms are best. 6. To raise big corn, you must keep small grass. To make small grass you must cut often. So in this, we find small farms the best. 7. If you have a good fence you need fear no loss by stock. But fences are costly. Thus ence more we find smull farms are best. 8. If you want good roads and plenty of schools, churches and mills, you must have a dense population. If farms are large, this is impossible. Therefore, I declare small farms to be best. 9. Farms should increase in value year by year. It Costs less to improve a few acres than a great many. Here, as before, small farms are best. — B. IF. J. in Rural Carolinian. The Pair Killer.—Special attention 1b invited to the testimony, voluntarily given by Rev. P. M.

A New Departure in Medicine.— There are “new departures” in medicine as well as in The latest and most successful of these is thehold movenient of DrrJt)seph Wanrer; “of- ; ealifor--.rfia, who has actually had the effrontery to produce, a Vegetable Tonic and Restorative, without any alcoholic basis, which is curing disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels, nerves and pulmonary organs,with a rapidity that fairly entitles him to the anathemas of the Old School of Physicians, and the praise and confidence of the New! His California Vinegar Bitters may bb safely pronounced the most popular remedy of the age. When it is considered that this now famous specific was introduced some two years ago, its present sale, which is at the rateof 3,000,000 bottles per annuift, can only be ascribed to its intrinsic merits. It is believed that the history of “patent medicines” affords no examples of a success so rapid and complete. The community insists that this success is thoroughly deserved, and we have no inclination to dispute its dictum. The Voice of the People, if not exactly that of Omnipotence, is generally the voice of Common Sense, and as they have had ample time to take a sober sec-' ond thought on the subject, it may be assumed, that, in this instance, their opinion is creditable to their sagacity. • The Fruit Recorder and Cottaye Gardener 'w exdwively devoted to fruit growing and home’s adornments.

Contagious such as horse ail, glander, &e., may be prevented by the use of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition R orders.. Persons traveling with horses should take note of this. Missionaries and others sojourning in foreign lands should not fail to take with them a good supply of Johnson's-Anodyne Liniment. It is the most reliable medicine for all purposes there is in the world.
