TI -16 FAR S1100080111 PaIllilf0W- 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 having the fruit on hand jinn when Wanted, and fourth, the refining influence on the fanner in growing the frait, BO the profitable growing ef small fruits for market is an entirely different matter, The Man who is feYeeably situeted, who has the right kind of 0911 And loves the businees well enough to give it proper attention, may reasonably exnect to make it pay. He Must be within an early driving dis- tance of a market for his fruit, or near an express office, frelli which hie fruit can be regularly and promptly forwarded th some city, without very great expense. The soil should be a riot:, sandy loam, that deep not retain, water, and oar: be worked :loon:titer rains, but not so sandy as . to be quickly affected by drouth, Without these condi,' dons, combined with some knowledge of the busineee, and good facilities for getting good pickers and extra help whenever needed, 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.

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." CHANGED THEIR CLOTHES. 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.

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.
