A correspondent writes eeeI Will OVeaa
example of what I regard as successful
farming by describing how a friend of mine,
Henry Lemuel, manages his affairs. This
farmer bought 240 acres when the country
was new and land cheap. He worked hard
said,the soil*yielded a fair income. After
his two sons, George and Henry, had grown
to manhood he decided to give them the
land, 120 acres each, free from debt.
Henry had his ideas about "a little laud
well tilled," and proposed to take 80 acres,
and George to take the rest --160 acres—
and pay him the difference in money, The
division was made and Henry took hold
with a vim that meant victory. He made
every step count, although he would take a
day off now and then, for recreation, with
his wife and children.
The chicken coop was cleaned regularly
twice a week. Youwonder what that had
to do with his success. Besides keeping
the fowls healthy, he had a barrel of splen-
did fertilizer every two or three weeks, He
hadethe chicken house made with movable
perches, and with a door large enough for
him to walk upright through it, and with
the aid of a wheelbarrow, the cleaning -up
process was a very short job. He put the
droppings into a barrel with alternate lay-
ers of earth to keepthe ammonia from
i
escaping, and kept it n the dry until time
to scatter.
His cows were kept in clean, dry stables
every night, and here was another fertilizer
saved; no filth allowed to lie around; -His
theory and practice were—warm, dry uar-
ters for every animal on the farm. He
often said, "If I know that everything
around use is comfortable I can enjoy my-
self." He lived up to the Scripture in
this : "The merciful man is merciful to
hie beast."
His fence -corners were kept clean; no
burs to catch and cling to every passing
skirt; no unsightly weeds towering higher
than the fences; all neat and in order.
Work? Of course; but he loved it, and
that makes labor light.
He made his ground do its best for the
care spent upon in After the pea crop
came off, the ground was prepared for cel-
ery, and being close to a thriving city, he
could dispose of all the extra produce raise
ed. When the early potatoes were harvest-
ed he sowed turnip seed on this ground;
so you see, besides getting double crops, he
kept down the weeds. Weeds kept from
going to seed make the work easier the
following season. He, with the help of
his wife—and, by the way, she was his
"right-hand man" in everything—cultiva-
ted grapes strawberries, raspberries and
currants ; these, with a bearing apple or-
chard, kept the doctor out of many a fee
that he would have gotten if the children,
yes, and parents, hadn't had free access to
fruits, and in warm weather abstained from
eating meat. Of course, his garden for
email fruits wasn't large; he couldn't care
for a large patch and do his other farming;
but plenty to eat in its season, and to can
for winter's use, was his method.
One day he sat musing, with a far -away
look on his face, when his wife said:
"What now, Henry? Anything gone
wrong at the barn?"
" No, nothing, mother," he slowly an-
swered. "Oh, nowI have it," he continued,
brightening, " Why didn't I think of
that before? You know the acre that the
brook cut off at the northwestern corner of
she farm? It is so hilly that it can't be
farmed with any satisfaction; it is grown up
in wild blackberryand raspberry bushes,and
the fruit is little, sour stuff; the patch has
been an eye sore to me for a long time.
"I thought of keeping it for a calf pas-
ture but it is too unhandy to reach for
anything of that kind, and now I knew
what to do with it, I'll plant it in tame
blackberries and raspberries, and the sur-
plus we can sell or divide with a.. poorer
neighber." •
" That willjust be the thing," his wife
answered: "but how are you going to clean
off all that muss of buelies and growing trash?
You will find it an endless job to make it
clean enough to suit your fastidious taste,"
" I have studied that out too," he said.
"I'll borrow brother George's flock of
sheep for a month and you will see where
Your muss will be." And he did. I passed
along by his farm. last summer and it did
my heart good to see how neat and pro-
sperous everything looked.
And Henry ain't one of your sour, work-
ed to death beinge,either; he loves his work,
and is happy. His theory put into prac-
tice works charmingly. " A little land
well tilled, a little wife well willed."
-To Avoid Shrinkage in Shipping.
Dr. J. Ward Wilson recently made public
the following suggestions as to feeding
steer e so as to avoid shrinkage in shipment
to market:
"In trying to find out a better way than
the usual custom of shutting off the grain
feed twenty-four hours before shipping,
we shut off water the evening before and
gave them all the corn they could eat the
morning they were to go. Having 'access
to plenty of good • hay all of the time,
they were not disposed to eat much.. Now,
if you ever notice, a change of food atter a
constant diet of one thing is relished by
others than steers. We had fed e lot of
sheaf oats once a week, and, noticing that
they left everything else and stuck to the
oats until consumed, we concluded to fill
the car racks with them. Having done
so, we loaded twenty 1,300 -pound steers in
each oar, and shipped them 300 miles with
only thirteen pounds' shrinkage per head.
At the end of their destination there was
not a straw left, and we believe they
would have eatett more if they had had it.
It will be noticed that a stomach full of
corn and oats caused them to drink better
at the stack yards than if they had been
salted at home. We never saft, because it
acts as a cathartic. This is a great item of
economy.'
Raising Small Fruits.
Every man who has a family and is a
householder, ought to raise enough smell
fruit for his own use, for the following rea-
sons : First, that it is cheaper lo raise a
needed supply than t� viral:nee it. Second,
because the fruit grown at home is better
than that we usually purchase in the mark-
et, Third, Waffle of the "rive:donee of

He Must be within an early driving dis-

we could not promise very great profit to
the man who is thinking of going into the
business.

The Art of Advertising.
There is nothing on earth so mysteriously
funny as the way in which many business
men treat an advertisement. The prime,
first, last, and all -the -time object of an ad-
vertisement is to draw custom. So the
merchant waits till the busy season comes,
and his store is so full of custom he can't
get his hat off, and then he rushes to his
printer and goes in for advertising. When
the dull season comes along, and there is
no trade, and he wants to sell his goods so
bad that he can't pay his rent, he stops ad-
vertising. That is some of them do; but
occasionally a level-headed merchant does
more of it, and scoops in all the business,
while his neighbors are making mortgages
to pay the gas bill. There are time when
you couldn't atop people from buying every-
thing in the store, if you planted a cannon
behind the door, and that's the thus the ad-
vertisement is sent out on its holy mission.
It makes light work for advertising, for a
chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all that
was needed and have a half -holiday six
days in a week; but who wants to favor an
advertisement? They are built to do hard
work and should be sent out in the dull
days, when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts, and kicked insensible
with bankrupt reductions, and dragged
in with trrestible slaughter of prices, before
he will spend a cent That's the aim and
end of advertising, and if ever you open a
store don't try to get them to come when
they are already sticking out of the win-
dows, but give them your, advertisement
right between the eyes in the dull season,
and you will wax riche and own a fast
horse and perhaps be able to smoke a cigar
once or twice a year. Write this down
where you'll fall over it every day.

Recognizing the difficulties,* the way of

tery matters from °eh:titer eOuntriee, Dr.
Stuart Eldridge, the health Officer of the
port of Yokohama, and member of the
Imperial Board of Health ofTokio, has
sent neeLakffiCial, statement of the epidemic
of plague in Southern China. It appears
from his report that this scourge, of which
only fragmentary news has been received,ie
one of the most fearful on reeord,hevieg itS
greatest hold at the port of Hong Kong:
where most of the foreign commerce touches.
The disease broke out in Canton last Febru-
ary and about the same time was epidemic
at Palchoi, a port not often visited by
Europeans, During March and April it
steadily increased until it assumed gigantic
proportions. According to the letter of
Or. Eldridge the eastern authorities treated
the disease with their ordinary indifference.
Although Hong Kong is the centre of trade
in the east,but half a day's journey from
Canton, and in constant comminication
therewith, the existence of danger was
ignored Several cases appeared in Hong
Kong during the first days of May, but not
until the 10th of that month wan any official
action taken. It has steadily increased in
that place until the mortality has reached
100 a day, despite the exodus of 100,000
Ohinese and many Europeans. The natives
In most cases have left on feeling the first
symptoms of the disease, in the hope of
dying in their native villages, while a dozen
Europeans have beau attacked, and most
of them died.
From nanton and Hong Kong the disease
is spreading through the neighboring coun-
try,i-
and will probably soon appear n the
coast towns of China north of Hong Kong,
because from the carelessness in these ports
no effective quarantine is likely to be
established. Several oases have already
occurred on steamers trading from Hong
Kong to Chinese ports, but without serious
consequences on account of prompt action on
the part of the ship's surgeons. A quaran-
tine system has been put in operation in
Japan holding ships from the infected
districts nine days after arrival or after the
last case has abated, and but one infected
ship has reached Japan. " If I may pre-
sume to advise," says Dr. Eldridge,
would say that the most stringent measures
may need to be taken to protect the
American ports, particularly as regards
certain classes ef goods from China likely
to convey infection, rags, old cotton, eta ;
and also such manufactured articles as are
made in the native workshops with per-
haps a case of plague dying in the same
room ; such things are straw matting, em-
broideries and every sort of textile fabrics.
So long as the disease is kept out of Japan
so long will this country be the best bulwark
for the Western ports against the impor-
tation of the disease."

Interesting Story of a Young Ilan Who
Became a Cattleman,.
A young man from Toronto who went as
oattleman on the Iona on Saturday
morning had a fairly good position in that
city, considering he had only been in this
country about three years, says the Mont-
real Witness. He could well afford to pay
his fare to visit his aged parents in England,
but he believed no better opportunity of
saving and earning money at the same
time could be found, and therefore secured
a berth as cattleman on the lona.
His associates came to the station at
Toronto to bid him "bon voyage." As they
said "May your shipmates lie very con-
genial," they had no intimation that they
would be cattlemen, and no one ventured
the question. "Why are you carrying
your old clothes in your valise?"
When he reached this city he made his
way to the ship, and for a moment turned
aside into the shed opposite, where whet a
transformation took: place! Then as he
had to seek his foreman he deemed it wise
to leave his valise in the shed, but on his
exit it was not there long. Someone who
undoubtedly had noticed the unrobing,
envied the would-be cattleman, and there-
fore at the expense of that person provided
himself also with the means of exchanging
clothes. The young man returned to find
himself minus valise, clothes and $23,
which was in the pockets of the suit. He
feelingly reffiarked that it was an expensive
lesson on the depravity of wharf men.
Many volunteered for a consideration to
help find the man, but he decided to keep
his own considerations, and therefore sailed
Saturday morning still minus his lost
possessions.

REIJI3EN E TRUAX•
Hon. Reuben E. Truax, one of
Canada's ablest thinkers and states-
men, a man so highly esteemed by
the people of his district that he was
honored with a 'seat in Parliament,
kindly furnishes us for publication
the following statement, which will
be most welcome to the public,
inasmuch as it is one in which all
will place implicit confidence. Mr.
Truax says:
"I have been for about ten years
very much troubled with Indigestion
and Dyspepsia, have tried a great
many different kinds of patent
medicines, and have been treated by
a. number of physicians and found
no benefit from them. I was recom-
mended to try the Great South
American Nervine Tonic. I obtained
a -bottle, and I must say I found very
great relief, and have since taken two
more bottles, and pow feel that I am
entirely free from Indigestion, and
would strongly recommend all my
fellow -sufferers from the disease to
give South American Nervine an
immediate trial. It will cure you.
"REUBEN E. TRUAX,
Walkerton, Ont."
It has lately been discovered that
certain Nerve Centres, located near
the base of the brain, control and
supply the stomach with the neces-
sary nerve force to properly digest
the food. When these Nerve Cen-
tres are in any way deranged the
supply of nerve force is at otos
diminished, and as a result tie NO,
taken into the stomach is onlY
partially digested, and Chronic Indra,
gestion and Dyspepsia soon make
their appearance.
South American Nervine is pe
prepared that it acts directly on the
nerves. It will absolutely cure everx
case of Indigestion and byspepsitta'
and is an absolute specific for aa
nervous diseases and ailments,'
It usually gives relief in one day.
Its powers to build up the whole
system are wonderful in the extreme. '
It cures the old, the young, and the
middle-aged. It is a great friend to
the aged and infirm. Do not neglect
to use this precious boon; if you do,
you may neglect the only remedy
which will restore you to liealtli.
South American Nervine is perfectly
safe, and very.ples.sent to the taste4
Delicate ladies, do not fail to use this
great cure, because it will put the
bloom of freshness and beauty upon
your lips and in your cheeks, and
quickly drive away your disabilities
and weaknesses.
Dr. W. Washburn, of New
Richmond, Indiana, writes : "I have
used South American Nervine in
my family and prescribed it in
my practice. It is a most excellent
