Th Rap ty Cm of Vine How n Vnpra Lnntioui Hiiim May Re Tranaformed Into a Plctnrvaque Object by the Plant er Kfl rta Rather Than Hi Architect'. Tlie ui pretentious cottage of our illus tration, n reprint from American Garden, is a pleasing and somewhat unusual style of building;, but tlie observant reader v.ill notice that tlie home like eh arm a id natural gntce that surround it nre tin- result of the planter's efforts, racher t inn those of the architect and carpenter. These appear to have done their wo k well, for, although a cottage, it appgais free from those "baby house" conceits that often uiar dwellings of this order, and render them unpleasant for human 1 abitations. A HAPPY CSE OF VINES. The balcony is broad and comfortable, high enough aUve the ground to catch the light breezes on a sultry summer evpning, and the air of the whole house is one of common fteiisc and comfort, but th nrtjs ic grace and sense of pleasure comes fivjin the natural festoons of wood bine, or Virginia creeper, that depend from tlit pillars and eaves of the porch and climb the corner of the house. The Japan hop winds above the railing of the balcony -tt airs, mingling with tlie moon flower and CoboMt scaudens. Long rustic loxes around the outside edge of the balcony liold masses of nasturtiums, that spread a loutand hang over the edge with an air of gladness. Ivy geraniums and lobelias iidd their beauty and color. A fw pott' si plants lent their grace of form to the combination, ami beds of scarlet geraniuii carried the bloom and color upon the lawn until the whole place was a mass of color anil greenery. Take this a'ay aid imagine the desolation that would r'rnain! IIvuhnU tiprotitH and Savoy. For a delicate form of cabbage Brus sels spro its are to lie commended. These require a rich soil. The plants ought to receive he same treatment as do cab bages, but the sprouts last all summer, and sho ild therefore be placed where they can have the whole ground for the season. The plants grow with a large, loose, cabbage like top and a tall stalk below, over which little cabbage like heads form, which can lie gathered all summer anil until the hard frosts of the north may destroy them. At the south they endure the winter. Most eple win) consider cabbage an essential y coarse food are unacquainted with the tSavoy class. Even the Savoys which have len crossed and increased in size ind coarseness, like the Drum head Savoy, are still far superior to the ordinary flat Dutch and Drumheads. And now we have a variety known as the Netted Savoy, whiclrvoml.ines fair size with the highest quality. A SncscHtlnii for Sli--p Shearine Time. Many "armers at sheep shearing time roll up I he fleeces so carelessly and hide in them so much filth that it is not strange they receive low prices for the clip. Another thing, all burrs ought to be clipped out of the fleece. The Wool Grower, calling attention to this subject, says: If sheep are ranged in a section where burrs gri iw, of course their fleeces will be moreorless infested with the nuisance, and the wool will net the owner three cents a found and upwards less, depend ing upon the amount of burrs and the price of wool, than if free from the de fect; for if a buyer can find a few burrs in a ptac of, w - I iilat me bellies and flanks of all fleeces of that clip are loaded with buns, and he makes his offer in accordance with that viev. When shearing is progressing, the men who are tying up the fleeces can pats their hands over each fleece as it lies upon the wood table, and in a few mo ments c;in clip off the burrs with a pair of sheart.. If they are unable to keep up with the shearers and do that, we think it would pay the owner of the wool to put an xtra hand or two at the work, and let them pass tho fleeces along to the men who tie, as fast as the burrs are clipped. We hope some of our friends rho are so unfortunate as to have burry wool will try our plan, and see if they cannot Bive money by tho operation. Acrirultural Xote. The American Jersey Cattle club has issued volume 23 of its "Herd Register." The nunilier of bulls is carried from 20, 001 to 21 ,000. and that of cows from 49, 001 to 51.000.

Dyspepsia Makes the lives of so many people mis erable, and often leads to self-destruc tion. We know of no remedy for dys pepsia more successful than Hood's Bar- saparilU. It acta gently, yet surely and efflcien ly, tones the stomach and other organs, removes the faint feeling, creates a good appetite, cures headache, and refresei the burdened mind. Give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do you good. Calif jrnia sent 3.500,000 pounds of noney to u-urope last year. Chery Words From a gentleman of Texas to his own people, and all others over the country. Hear what he says: I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time bare had occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended preparations or pat ent medicines on the market, and as I have suffered nntold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me, I had almost drawn a conclusion that all pat ent medicines were more or less frauds wntil about one year ago, I was in duced by a friend now living in Tyler, to try a preparation known as 3 B. or Bo tanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible affliction; and it now affords me the greatest pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county that I am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which I consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known to man. I have been subject to ins flammatory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time have had four. The last spell came on me in November, 1885, over a year ago, at which time I was confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass Ing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produced by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up to that time I had onlv eaten six meids, and could scarlely sit up wiinout support; but after using three bottles 1 was able to relish mv meals and to walk up town, and after six bottles had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When I returned to business in February, my weight was 145 pounds, but gradually increased until my regular weight was again attained, 210 pounds. The noticeable fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this un paralleled and remarkable discovery, B B. B. , cured me in midwinter, at the very time my sufferings and misery were the greatest. I take it on myself as a practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as conscientiously, recommend this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not only myself, hut the firm ot MrKsy & Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in dorse its superior merits.
