IheDr,RourkTreatment Abandoned Farms of Northern Michigan: In a recent drive of 30 miles to Roscom- mon we passed a place on the plains where, in a distance of ten miles, we counted - twenty -three deserted farm houses ; some of them bad been burned, leaving only the marks of 'former buildings, but most were still standing. Every one was surrounded by cleared fields ; most of them fenced: There were fine school houses along the route, but not a house was inhabited. The road and lauds were level and the country looked beauti fuL, Fourteen years ago about five hundred people, farmers and their families, seeking new homes, settled here. I try to read their story and why they .left 1.as I wander about one of the houses where we stop to' ed our.horses and take our own lunch. It is a pretty place, and in the grove of Jack pine trees in the front there is a wooden swing for the child- ren; some flowers still struggle for life, and a few fruit trees are really fine. The first two year/3 here I know must have been pleasant ones for the settlers. They n ere working hard. with hope for the future. The money they brought with them was not yet gone; they had plenty of venison, fish and wild fruit. Then their root crops were en- couraging. It is -a peculiarity of the plains land that everything that grows under ground really does well, while vegetables that rerfct thernvIves in the air and sun- shine nearly always fail. . - Then the second winter came, ' and the seeding had yielded no hay; grain was a failure, and there was nothing to feed the horses and cows. The rest of the story till the farm was abandoned is a sad one. wonder where all these people of Beaver Ore - k and Center Plains townships are now? Did they never get over leaving their money here or are ttley pro.spering elsewhere ? As I look over these nice level farms with their really good buildings 1 think I would. like to buy one of them and try the experiment of making a living on the Jack pine plains. Tartly because they could. be bought very cheap, and I have the full feminine instinct for a bargain. Then if the problem of living on this land can be solved, how many thousands of new homes can be made -for poor families. Yet with our present knowledge of it, it would.be,as - II. Voorhees, of Traverse City, says, " cruelty to indulge people to settle on He mentions the very worst point in the plains lands—their inability to withstand drouth. As we near Roscommon we are surprised to find the first inhabited house and a really goocl one too, while the barn makes us open our eyes. It is the exact counterpart of the big red Pennsylvania barns with their air of comfort and prosperity. • Yet the land around is the same we have been passing for the last ten miles. I would- like to -inter- view the people there. It is late in the season and the erops are all in, so I cannot see how they look.

For Winter. The snow and severely cold weather has stopped steady progress in finishing up out- door _work.on hundreds of farms in this lati- tude. The snow is now gone and many far- mers are trying to finish husking, digging potatoes, and haul corn stover. We are hauling the last of our stover to -day. An - °thee a our failures is in getting caught in a snow storm, before our fall's work is finished. We have lots of work to do every day, and, no matter what the weather is like, we shallkeep at it all wintenand—all next sum- mer also. As our plans are laid, we can see no time ahead, in which we can enjoy a N a- cation—or hardly a "clay off." It is work, work,all along, every day -.(except Sundays) and yet- we are glad to realize it. It is by means of working steadily, con- stantly, that we hope to attain the ends sought. By means of hard labor, controlled and directed by intelligence, thought,and skill, 'Nile daily see -good results from our ef- forts. This is what we are after, and there- by we are inueh encouraged. We are trying to 'make a business of farming, and find it takes about 310 days in each year to keep things moving. This on; ly allows the ebservance of three holidays, to be sure, but, even then, we .must do cer- tain kinds of work, as wellas on Sundays. In fact, farming should furnish daily labor, of some sett, all the year round: Just as other avocations do. There is no reason why any farmer, in good health, having in- telligence, energy and pride to "back- him up," who oWns a farm, or lives on one, should at any time be out of employment. Look the Country over and you will find very few of Our energetic, intelligent, prac- tical farmers who have nothing to. do, all winter, except a few chores. When you do find one. I -cel„ is very generally of that class who has'inherited property, or had it given to him outright. Elther the land was given • him, or thel money to buy- it • with. Such men start c4it in business for themselves out of debt or nearly se. All they have to do is to live, and save What they do not use. No interest to pay, but usually a little money out drawmgiratereat. - There a e many men of this class, and they are, ome of them, among our best and most prog essive farmers.

We give Mr. Kilbride's letter in full, it graphically sets forth his struggles witinasid his triumph over disease and death :— " I now write you about Paine's Celery Compound, having just finished the fifth bottle. It is impossible for me to say suffi- cient, or to find words strong enough to praise Paine's Celery Compound AS I ought. "To -day I feel myself a new man. Six months age I wa.s on the brink of insanity; my nervous system was completely broken down ; I could not sleep more than one or two hours at night, and often did not sleep for four. nights in succession. Oh ! I never can describe the agony I suffered. I was almost 'reduced to a skeleton ; could only work an hour, when I was so fatigued I would be obliged to lie down and rest be- fore I ceuld resume work. "The use of your Compound has given me rest and sweet sleep, and I can now work all day.. To tell the honest, candid truth, I have not felt so well for fourteen years. When I commenced taking Paine's Celery Compound my weight was 144 pounds ; now I weigh 168 pounds. I am gaining in flesh every day'my frids enare all surprised at my wonderful cure and changed appearance. Oh ! if I had only known of this life-saving remedy years ago, I would have escaped many days and nights of terrible pain and agony. Thank God the terrible times have passed,s I hope never to return. How I wish I could reach the ear of every man in Canada—those who are suffering as I ,once suffered—how I would plead with them— yes, on my knees I would ask them to give Paine's Celery compound a fair trial, and. I feel confident they would bless me after- wards for my recommendation. "Young men, take my truthful and can- did advice; if you are suffering from -a broken down. nervous system- use Paine's Celety Compound ; it will thoroughly re- store you physically and otherwise. "1 am now in perfect health through no other agency than Paine's Celery Com- pound. You may use these statements as you choose." Morris. COUNCIL MEETING.—The council met pur- suant to adjournment.

The uneeasing struggle for supremacy in almost every line of trade undoubtedly has a tendency to make dealers resort to questionable methods of busi- nese. Take, for instance, a line of bigh-class dress goods like Priestley's, which has been brought to a state of perfection and bas attained popularity ev- erywhere; as soon as the ladies 'twist upon having these goods and no others, it is reported that some merchants have even taken the ' Varnished Board,' Priestley's Trade Mark, out of the Genuine Priest- ley's Black Dress Goods or Cravenettes and wrapped inferior goods 'upon it for the purpese of deceiving the customer. Fortunately, however, an extra pre- caution was adopted,by the manufacturers in stamp- ing the name Priestley's ' and the length on every five yards, so that ladies who want these goods ca,n be sure they are getting them.

I. owes his life and present good health to the life-giving powers of Paine's Celery Compound. Some months ago disease had so preyed upon Mr. Kilbride's body that insanity was feared. His nervous system was shattered and broken, he was a stranger to sleep and rest, and his appetite was lost. Suffering had reduced bim to a mere skeleton, and those around him knSwing that medical skill had failed, were expecting him to die. Friends who had used Paine's Celery Com- pound, urged Mr. Kilbride to give it a trial. The suggestion was a happy one for the afflicted man. The wonderful medicine soon proved able to cope with the disease.
