Who has spoken for the hired POINTERS ON AGRICIUL- TU) OWING Watering troughs at the road— side at convenient distance are highly appreciated by travellers, and are sure indications of kind and hospitable farmers. . A few dollars invested in paint will not only add to the attracti- veness of the farm but will save wear and tear. Nothing is so economical as paint. It orna- ments and preserves the building. Some pationtjhorticul tarist says: By going over young trees and • rubbing oil' buds which appear where branches are not needed there will be very little pruning to be done when th o trees come into bearing. Toads, next ti snakes,are hated and despised, yet in a garden they devour multitudes of insects that prey on the labours of man,and do Lot mopole with any of the plants, fruits or flowers that require bis cultivation. During the summer a great deal of rubbish col ects in the garden and perbape_.jn the oSehard- ,All this ought to be raked up and burned and otherwise disposed of. If left on the ground it furnishes feeding for insects. The Prairie Farmer says :— "Although Some horses, unless very thirsty, only drink a small quantity,each time,they want that little just as badly as the horse which drinks a greater quantity. Many horses like to take their time tc, drink." Wo agree with the Orange County Farther when it says :— "We rather prefer butter that is made by a woman, if she is up to the times in butter making. We feel sure there is no dirt in it oven by implication. There aro few men cut out for butter -makers." It takes less care and skill to raise scrub horses that will sell for $75 to $100 than to breed to an imported stallion with $2.5 to .$50 service fee and raise a horse ' that will sell at $200 and $800. It is just that care and skill that • pays the enterprising farmer and breeder. Turnips and cabbages when fed to milking cows should be given directly after, milking, in such `quantity as' they will eat up at once clean, and no more given un- til after the milking; when fed on such vegetables the milk should be exposed to the air by leaving the cans unstoppered as much as possible. TETE SEWERS OF PARIS. aro one of the modern wonders of the world. That marvelous net- work of underground- streams, •over which the tourist can travel • by rail and in boats, constitutes • the bowels of the gay capital.— This labyrinth of streams is kept with scrupulous care; for any ob- struction in the flow of the sew- age would be attended with serious results to the health of the inhab- itants of the city above. The sowers of the human system are - the liver -and bowels, and in order to keep disease out of the wonder- ful city of which they are a part, they. must be kept always free and unobstructed.

Who bas sympathized with his distresses ? Who has wrought for the redress of his grievances ? Who has labored for his eleva- tion, except the farmer, whose stern call from the front bedroom elevated him at four o'clock in the morning ? Who has whispered consolation into his ear except the farmer's wife, who is wiser than the chil- dren of light, and knows by the clouds looming black to the west- ward that it will be a wet day, and that the hired man and the churn will spend a royal forenoon together? If it wore not a day on which the churn could bo, conveniently loaded, the farmer would invite him out to the barn to turn the fanning mill, or out to the wood - shod to turn the grindstone. How the hired man hates a crank. He went out in the grey gloom of the morning; he came home by way of the pasture field in the shadow of the fast -coming night. He could see no poetry in the sunrise, for, clad in a pair ofover- altsalad one suspender, wet to the knees and profane to the heart, he was .:haling • the farm horse through the dark meadow, hid- ing a halter behind his back and vainly reaching out a dish of oats to the shrewd sorrel which bad been caught that way before. He went out in the fields in bho early springtime. behind the un- steady plough or the eccentric harrow, and the chill winds chap- ped his bands and the mud of the fields crept up to his knees and worked down into his socks, and his trousers legs froze about his blue, 'cold limbs, and he was alto- gether wretched. He wont into the pasture field for a quiet walk and sober medi- tation on a beautiful Sabbath morning of the early summer, and the ram with the crumpled horn and untamed zeal got upon his trail and beat him sore in the rear and ran him up a stump. He coaxed the young steer with salt in the palm of his hand, and the steer rejected his advances and horned him in the ribs. He mended the hole under the fence and staked and ridered the fence above, and went to his sleep in the strong and simple faith that'ho had baffled the hog that roots and the cow that jumps, and lo 1 during the night the hogs and the farm stock got into the grow- ing crops. and did grievous dam- age, and the fierce wrath of the farmer was turned upon him in the early morning. He borrowed the blacksmith's light waggon and 'Made a con tract with the neighbor's' hired girl to drive her to the Sunday School picnic, but it threatened rain on the picnic morning and the farmer's hay was out and the hired man bad to star 'at home and fork hay all that wretched day, and' still the blacksmith charged him two dollars for the light waggon he could not use, and the neighbor's hired girl who was cheated out of the picnic, on tho very next Sunday night tramped home from church with a hired man from a farm on the sideline, quoted at $ 2 a month' less for the summer, and sat with him in the cook hoose until the dog got tired waiting for a chance to exchange a few words withhim as he started homeward. He mowed the grass. in the fence corners with a rusty scythe, and hacked out largo gaps under the knee, while the farmer sat on the mower and drove around the field in easy comfort, and then called the hired man at noon and nightfall to take charge of the horses. He hauled manure with. the spare team and a short, decrepit fork and a lame beck, while the farmer sat on the ,-"oiler on a cush- ioned soot and made long stops at the head of the 'field'to talk to the passing neighbors. Ho bound into sheaves great armfuls of thistles that skulked through the season as good, hon- est wheat or oats. He got thist- les into his hands and arms and legs so thick that he was engaged all the next Sunday digging them out with his pocket knife and a fine'needle. But tho farmer still drove around the field; now mounted on the reaper, in oven a supremer comfort than that he enjoyed a few weeks earlier, for the weather had got hotter. He forked far'ley and the horns got down his back. He pulled peas until his sides dropped in- ward. He crammed sheaves into the mow until his head knocked against the rafters- He fell through between the beams above the barn floor upon the hard, un- sympathetic' boards below, and was bruised but not broken. Fate played with him,;buffeted him, wounded him, jammed him against posts, dropped him into collars, rolled him under the wheels of the waggon, and drag- ged hint under the horses' feet, but was not kind enough to lay him up at the farmer's expense until the busy season was over. He pulled turnips in the late fall, through the first snowstorm, until there were great cracks across the back of his hands, and, as he believed, cracks in h'is'back that would admit a handspike. ! hit iren bell for Pitcher's Castoria. JQ'inard's Liniment Cares Qi,phtheria, At Camden Monday night; Hen- ry Brown and Miss Mary Morgan stood before Rev. Mr Clayton pre- paratory to becoming 'man and wife. A portion of the service • had been already read when the bride uttered a lours scream. She was soon to raise her hand and point toward- a corner of the . church. The next moment she fell to the floor in a swoom and had to be carried out. Physcians Worked with her nearly an hour before she recovered conscious- nc ds. Her mother, who died four months ago, was opposed to her marriage with Brown. Miss Mor. gan says that just a4 she was about to pronounce the binding words she raised hor eyes and saw her mother's gnost pointing the finger of warning. It is that the marriage will only bo de- layed, not abandoned, by the event. CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS—HAY FEVER'' A NEW HOME mca'FMtNT. Sufferers aro not generally aware that These diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy bas been formulated where- by catarrh, catarrhal doainese and hay. fever aro permanently eared in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. B.B.—This treatment is not a snctfI or an ointment ; both have been discarded by reputable. physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this new treatment is sent on receipt of ten cents by A. II. Drxox & Sex, 803 West King Street, Toronto. Canada.—Toronto Globe. Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should r s,117 ''east the above. Then the farmer sent him • to all the thresbings, and they put him at the tail of the straw -car- riers, and there was the supreme misery of all the hired man's ex- periences. Probably be had to take his team, and before he could get down off the stack every other team was unhitched, and he bad to lag ingloriously at the end of the procession to the open well down in the pasture field, and to stand back in impotent wrath un- til all the other horses were wat- ered, and then get back to the stables to find that1the stable - room was taken up, hat he had to tie his horses in an uninvit- ing fence corner and build a rail inclosure to hold their hay, and then to go into dinner and find that he had to wait for the second table, and at last to fill on tho re mains of a picked meal ; then go out again and carry out the grain boxes to hold the horses' oats, and to stand by and watch while, they fed that they did not walk and wreck the boxes, and after all to be well blessed by the farm- er on his return home at night because be was not sharp enough to find stable room for his horses. But all this was nothing com- pared with the hired man's ex- periences at the tail of0 the car. riers. It was not so beI in the fore- noon, `when the straw dropped from above and he stood .from under, but as the day went on and the stack went up, away be- yond the height of the carriers, and the chief feeder braced him- self on the platform before the fierce and hungry cylinder, and turned half round and cast a glance at the man on the horse power, and that worthy cracked his mighty whip, and the horses pricked up their ears, and even tho thresher's teams gave a lurch forward,' and the old separator hummed and roared and rattled. The feeder cast another look 'at the men in the mow and spread out his arms and threw his head back and seized a sheaf and tore it limb from limb and flung it in- to the cylinder, and reached for another and hurled it after the first ; and then sheaf after sheaf fell into his desperate grip and was torn apart and flung into the machine, and the feeder worked his jaws upon his wad of tobacco with every reach of his mighty arms, and the whip cracked away out on the power, and the old sop" arator settled down to a dull roar of business, and a great, heavy, unbroken mass of straw poured out at the tail of the machine and ascended the carriers and was thrown at' the feet of the hired man, who sweat,' and groaned, and forked and prayed from the depth of his tortured being that the machine would burst or the, feeder die. On roared the' .ma- chine, up went the stack, on came the mighty mass of straw, and the hired man forked on in grim despair. Now the carrier was blocked, and the descending slats carried great rolls of straw back into the barn, . and fierce remon- strances came up from below. Now the hired man was even with his work. Now he caught his fork in the i;lats, and great bundles piled about him and bur- led. _him to the neck. Now a mighty forkful canis back on him from above. He was blinded with dust and sweat. lie Was raw with barley horns and heat. The machine stops finally, just as he has decided to offer up his last petition and , die, and the crown misery is that at supper the feed- er and his heartless associates lift up their voices in rejoicing that they "gave it to the hired man." Then, in the keen winter morn ing, the hired man got up at five o'clock, after declining several peremptory invitations delivered at a still earlier hour, and built a fire in the .kitchen out of green maple and wet cedar, and broke a path to the barn through the huge snowdrifts, and pulled" himself through a narrow hole into the turnip pit, and as he filled the tur- nip basket thought sadly of, the early spring, when, molted and softened by the sun and the rains, the roof of the pit would fall in on him and kill him, He went down through the driving storm to the crock that rare through the meadow and broke the ice over the hole whore the cattle drank. Ho mounted the straw -stack and struggled with a hay -knife that had not been ground for three or four seasons, to cut through the frozen mass of ice on the top of the stack into tho dry straw be- low. He lost his footing and car- eened down the side of the stack and lit on -the head of the two- year-old steer and was carried round the barn and dumped into the manure heap. Ho crept in- to the holo in the stack to get out of the cruel wind that swept about the barn, and the sow leaped from the straw beneath and he was carried on her back and jammed against the strawstadk fence, and ,groat black marks planted on his body, and long strips of flesh torn off his legs, and great rents cut in his smock and trousers. All winter he threshed peas and oats, and sawed wood a.,d split rails in the swamp, and fed stock and milked cows—shocking humilia- tion l—and built fires in thekitch- en stove, and in the spring bo was out of pocket and out at the koo(es, and, redeeming feature' of the sit- uation, out of gaol. Ile was a man of' sorrows. Ho took his wages in orders on the country store. Ho is dead, The four greatest medical Centres of the world are London, Paris. Berlin and Vienna. Theee cities have immense hospitals teeming with suffering humanity. Crowds of studenta throng the wards study)ng under the Professors in charge. The most renowned physicians of the world teach and practice here, and the institutions are storehouses of medical knowledge and experlenoe. With a view of making -this experience available to the publio the Hospital Remedy Co. at great expense secured the prescriptions of these hospitals, prepared the Specifics, and although it would cost from $26 to $100 to,aeoure the attention of 4helr distinguished originators, yet in this way their pre- pared specifics are offered at the price of the quack patent medicines thatood the market and absurdly claim to cure every i / from a single bottle.
