Two Kinds of Industry.

I have known two kinds of industrious farmers. I do‘not include the sluggish and negligent. But of the real hard workers there are two distinct classes. They both ris& at dawn and work after dark, and are worthy of success-; but one class fails for want of proper thought and management. These will put their energies into one piece of work, and neglect other things which need them more. I knew one man who was so intent on finishing a piece of board fence that he worked hard at it at the very time that the weeds in his root crop grew from one inch high to ten inches, increasing the labor of cleaning out at least tenfold, and reducing his crop about one-half. Another buys costly tools and lets them rust and rot in the fields because he is so busy with something else, although the labor of housing would be a mere nothing. Another builds a costly barn, and uses up his means for manuring, cultivating and draining, when cheaper buildings would have answered. Another works a wet field year after year at great cost and inconvenience, and with small results, because he is too busy to underdrain it. He does everything at a disadvantage. Very different is the course of the good manager. He looks at his work—has it mapped out before him—estimates accurately the labor to accomplish each job, and the time when it should be done to prevent loss, and then goes on systematically. It does not require great genius to do this, but common sense, and for the farmer to keep his wits about him. This is what makes a man practical and successful.— Cor. Country Gentleman. Hannaford & Thompson, Publishers, Chicago, sold the first large edition of Periam’s “History of the Farmer’s Movement” in two weeks. A second edition, embracing proceedings of the St. Louis Convention held in Feb., 1874, is just being issued. Agents are reaping a rich harvest with it. We advertise it this week. i The Organ as a household instrument has been rapidly growing in favor, and the yearly sales are now enormous. A good Organ remains in tune, is. easily kept in order, and blends naturally with the quality of the voice. The advertisement of the Smith American Organ Co., in another column, is referred to the consideration of our readers. This house has an enviable reputation for good work and fair dealing. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is very strongly recommended by the Medical Faculty and is largely prescribed among their female patients. It is worthy of all confidence, as may be seen from the following testimonial: An.ANTA, 111., July 14, 1873. Dr. K. V. Pmkcs, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir —I have not words to express my gratitude to you for your advice and assistance in my case. There is not one who has used your medicines since they have been brought here but that can say with me they have been greatly benefited. Since I have been so helped by its use six or seven around me left off all doctors and other medicines, and now use it in their families, after being cured of the same disease as mine. You do not know what a wonder it created in our city, by its restoring my sister I wrote you about, for she had been under the care of three of our best doctors but could not sit up but for a few minutes at one time. I begged of her to try your medicines, and before she had used half of the bottles she could go all around the yard, and has now just come home from a visit five miles away. Mrs. Thos. McFarland.

When any antidote or remedy for any particular class of disease obtains a widespreading notoriety, it is but reasonable to suppose that it must merit the popular-, ity it receives. It is within our province to mention that Dr J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters, and favorably known as the safest and most reliable remedial agent for the cure of Liver, Kidney, Bladder, and Glandular Diseases, Mental and Physical Debility, and all complaints emanating from a corrupt state of the blood, etc., are in great demand. So satisfied are we of the intrinsic worth of this medicine, that we do not hesitate to notice it in our It is well to mention that this medicine is compounded of roots, herbs and flowers of California, and has no fiery material or alcohol used in its preparation. We can add no better,eulogium than the fact that we use it constantly in our own family, and each member thereof partakes of it, when necessary, according to directions. —New York Paper. 34

Mors than 50 years have elapsed since Johnson's Anodyne .Liniment was first invented, during which time hundreds of thousands have been benefited by its use. Probably no article ever became so universally popular with all classes as Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. Pills which contain antimony, quinine and calomel should be avoided, as severe griping pains would be their only result. The safest, surest and best pills are Parsons' Purgative or Anti-£ilious PiUi,

Don’t Tamper wrrn AtJ jld.—Perhaps in the ( whole category of diseases 1 to which humanity is susceptible, the cough is most neglected in its early stage. A simple cough is generally regarded as a temporary affllctlon<-r unpleasant and nothing more; but to those who have paid dearly for experience, it is the signal for attack for the most featful of all diseases—Consumption. A cough will lead to consumption—if not checked—so sure as the rivulet leads to the river, yet it is an easy enemy to thwart, if met by the proper remedy. Allen's Dung Balsam is the great cough remedy of the age, and it has earned its reputation bv merit alone. Sold bv all good druggists.
