AOEICULTDRAL. Don't Mortuae the Farm. There is In Banfcor an ancient drug store which for over iorty years has been the headquarters of the larmera trading in that city. There they go lor goods, to leave whips, robes and bundles, to loaf away the evenings when "down on the jury," and when in searoh of information. Into it the other day there walked a sturdy yeoman, his bronzed face and hard, horny hands telling of exposure to the weather and of days of hard toil. His clothing was of good, honest material and on his feet were solid cowhide boots. Walking up to the proprietor of the store he inquired for Lawyer Blank. Now the man from the farm had such an honest face, such an innocent look, that the druggist, knowing the man sought lor to be a "sharper," in fact not a real lawyer at all departed from bis rale of minding his own business and asked the farmer what be wanted of the lawyer. In a lew words the story was told. It seems the man had worked hard all his day s, had bought and paid for a $1200 farm, bad taken a wife, furnished a house and now, envious of some of bis neighbors, wanted to build a $300 barn. To do this be pro posed to borrow the cash, giving a mort gage on his farm. Said the druggiat, after the story was told : "Your farm is clear now ?" "Yes, sir." "You love your wife ?" "Yes, sir." "Well," said the merchant, "thia is what you should do. (io home aud earn the three hundred dollars first and then build your barn. If you borrow now, you will think each night as you lie on your bed that you are in debt. You will fret and worry; your young wifa will do the same; sickness aud accidents may come, or a poor crop be your portion; there will be a three hundred dollar skeleton in your house and, ten to one, you don't fret and grow peevish and have a row with yoar wife. Don't go into the mortgage business! Don't go into debt! Live within your income, be iuduslrious, and when you do build your barn and own it, you'll be as proud of it as an Englishman is of his castle." For a moment the young farmer hesi tated. On each side were interested spectators, and all was silence. Gradually the head lowered and a tear rolled down the cheek. Though only a tiller of the soil, the man took pride in his occupation and wanted that barn. At last he said : "Thank you, sir. To tell you tho truth, sir, my wife was a-cryiog when I left home because I was going to mort gage the place. I'll take your advice and go home as I came down, and she'll be glad to see me, you betr" "There," said the Bangor man, "that fellow came to a good, wise conclusion. I have seen lots of misery on account of this mortgage business. He who gives one often gives peace, comfort and con tentment with it." Lewiston Journal. The Time to Apply Manure. The proper time to apply manure is in the late fall or winter. Our grandfathers used to think there was no time to spread manure but in the spring. They were right then, but if we think bo now we are wrong. Why? Things have changed since then. They bad more snow in win ter and more rain in summer, both of which have a great effect upon the soil. Then the winter was a very busy time of the year; besides their chores, they had husking and threshing to do, which was done with the old-fashioned flail. There was wood to chop, and countless other things to do by hand, which are now done by machinery. Very' many objections will be raised to winter application. Some say manure spread in the fall loses a great part of its strength. How can it ? It is soou cov ered with snow, and what would evapo rate does not amount to much anyway. Plant food does not evaporate. Then you say perhaps on some soils it may leach. I do not think you ever knew of a case of the kind, in land that was tilled. It may leach if left in piles, or in a barnyard, or under the eaves. Those are the places where leaching occurs. Then you say, if spread in the snow the best part of the manure will wash off in the spring. This very seldom happens. The snow melts gradually, and the ground is thawing at the same time, and it takes up the plant food as fast as it comes .in contact with it. I Bbould not advise any one to spread manure on a steep hillside in the winter, neither would I advise you to spread land that was very. much sloping on top of a hard crust of snow; there are exceptions to all things to all things. But, brother farmers, you will make money in more than one way by spreading the manure in the fall or winter. In the first place you srill save leaching and other wastes in the barnyard, you will save time, which is money, and your crops will be enough better to pay for all the trouble. Hog Cholera. . . Many . interesting things have been published in the Stockmau in respect to the hog. Having had much trouble with the great hog diseases I may venture a few remarks on this much worn subject. In August last I bad hogs, ten in number, between ten and eleven months old, taken sick with cholera, two of which were quite sick.' These two I separated from the rest of the herd. I immediately procured some mill feed and fed slop feed and oats, also one teaspoonful to each hog of the following: Ground ginger 4 or., black antimony 2 oz., flour sulphur 2 oz., pul verized nitre 2 oz., salphate iron 4 oz. The eight hogs ate very sparingly of the feed but soon began to mend, in three weeks were quite well and on full feed again. These ten were fed until 14 months old and weighed 300 pounds. Now for the remaining two; they lay in the pen, refusing to eat anything for over one week, when they began to eat a little I fed the powder in the slop, being careful to give no more feed than they would eat up clean. The; fully recovered from the disease and ate well, but did not thrive in proportion to the feed they ate. I have beenflftoing the above powder for some years, both for hog, and noises, and as a preventive of hog cholera it surely has some effect, as I have used it when my hogs were doing well, and it invariably restored the hair to a brighter color and caused the shin to become clean and healthy.

After 33 years of close observation in business, I am fully convinced that by far the greatest number of unsuccessful County Merchant is tracable to their "first purchase." How? I will tell vou.

Buying in Nortnern Houses wnere tne Goods kept are not selected (like mine) to suit this section only, tne cnanccs are mat tne new De- ginner will buy the most unsuitable stock for his section; hence he has his shelves full, yet none to suit his customers Fatal mistake No. 1. 2. In the excitement and rush, of Northern Market he buys twice, perhaps thrice, us much as he can and ought to. Fatal mistake No. 2. 3. The wiudicious and disproportionate quan tities brought too much of some things and not enough of others (generally the most needful) the new beginner nnds out, too late, mat wnnene has more Goods than he ought to have, yet must order more Goods to help sell off the badly bought ones, thus being loaded too heavily at the start you can imagine the rest. This much and more could be said, but a word to the wise is sufficient. How to avoid all this: I have now been in business near you for 33 years, commenced from the stump up at a cross road and grown up with the country, know ex actly what and how you ought to buy, and I point (with just pride) to my record as a man and mercnant, and say come to me ana x pieage my record to take good care and protect you, and you will say, as hundreds of others have done, I owe my success to you. t.

Perfect Hair Indicates a natural and healthy condi- tion of the scalp, and of the glands through which nourishment is obtained. When, in consequence of age and dis ease, the hair becomes weak, thin, and gray, Ayer's Hair Vigor will strengthen It, restore its original color, promote its rapid and vigorous growth, and impart to it the lustre and freshness of youth. I have mZ Ayer's Hair Vigor for a long time, and am convinced of its value. WhenI was 17 years of age my hair began to turn gray. I commenced using the Vigor, and was surprised at the good effects it produced. It not only restored the color to my hair, but so stimulated its crowth that X have now more hair than ever before. J. W. Edwards, Coldwater, Miss. Ayer s Hair Vigor, Sold by all Druggists and Perfumers. If you abk sutfebinq from debility and loss of appetite; if your stomach is out of order, or your mind confused; take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine will restore physical force and elasticity to the system, more surely and speedily than any tonic yet discovered. For six months I suffered from liver and stomach troubles. My food did not nourish me, and I became weak and very much emaciated. I took six bottles Aver s Sarsaparilla, and was cured. J ulius M. Palmer , Springfield, Mass. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, TPVfcr rr. J.
