The air we breathe and lire In is charged with these deadly little growths in proportion as it is infected from various noxious sources. Having by recent experiments and research been shown to be the most fruitful cause of disease known, and the welfare and health of every individual depending so largely on the freedom from thoir destruc tive ravages, it is but natural that the re ports of recent investigators in this' field of scientific inquiry should be widely read, and that every phase of these astounding discov eries should be subject to universal discuss ion. At first received with some suspicion they have at length been thoroughly proven, and are now receiving the unqualified in dorsement of the leading scientific men throughout ihe world. But little else is talked of in the schools and dubs of science, and the medical and scientific journals are crowded with the testimony that is being added corroborative of the value of the mar velous discovery which is pronounced the greatest advance in medical science of mod em times. _ , To L. Parteub, the eminent French scientist, who by his learned investigations has saved to France so many millions of dol lars, is probably due the honor of first point ing out the terrible power of these germs. In recognition of his great service the govern ment has recently voted him from the public treasury $10,000, with which to continue his experiments. He has described several va rieties of these parasites, some comparatively harmless, others extremely dangerous. Ore form he proved by a series of vaccinations and other conclusive experiments was the cause of death of many thousands of ani mals and herds of cattle; another the active ngtmt in the death of fowls by cholera. Act ing upon the knowledge he had gained of the nature of these germs, he pointed out a means of relief that speedily prevented a spread of the diseases and ended their devas tation. TthdaIX, with the aid of ot'nei eminent glish investigators, made a number of ex- nations of the floating particles imtha. atufkphere, and found numlmi* -fjt living eport^capable of prodiwiag efisease. In dry ilthy localities but few germs were knd these of the harmless varieties, low damp places, crowded houses Wealthy cities, the poisonous germs Vemly numerous everywhere. dolph Koch, of. Wallstein, Ger man whose work in connection with (tnisms of contagious diseases lias i a recognized authority upon the y experimenting after the methods Femin, has discovered and published iunt of one of the most dangerous |s, to which it is proven more deaths i than to any disease incident to the race. j describes it as a simple cellular organ- ru belonging to the same order as the bac teria. IVhen dried the germs may, without losing any vitality, endure great extremes of temperature. Being as fine and as light as dust, invisible to the naked eye, they may be blown any distance by the wind or carried upon the clothing or body. Like seeds, they may lie for months or years undisturbed upon the fumitare, floor, carpets, curtains, walls, or in the bedding, and only requiring a proper degree of warmth, moisture and food to waken into life, develop and grow. They thrive and live in the blood, lymph, mneus and secretions of the human body? When the system is unhealthy or weak they attack the colls that make up the animal frame. Any albuminous fluid will furnish them with food for growth, and a single drop is sufficient to contain hun dreds. Examined with microscopes of great power, which enlarge them so that they can be seen and studied, they have the appear ance of minute rod-like bodies having, when active, some power of motion. They bond in the middle like a bow and straighten with a i ’erk that sends them a few times their own ength. At the temperature of the human body they are the most active. Their power of increase or reproduction is remarkably great. One germ in a few weeks’ time, under favorable conditions, will give rise to millions. The process is by simple growth and division. Cold destroys or pre- mal foods, exposed to warmth these small organisms attack and eat up the albuminous tissues, leaving a foul mass. The odors so common to this process are given off by these minuta.organisinvind is about the only indi cation of their presence. This is the warning of nature and it is an instinct to avoid all such smells. The foul breath, bad odors of old i ores, etc., leads man to avoid these germs in a great measure. The danger of their pres ence in the body can be imagined when their rapid increase is considered. A few germs may be readily absorbed into the system by breathing air containing them. They are thus drawn into the interior of the body through the long and narrow respiratory passages of the throat, chest and nose, which are lined witii soft membrane and covered with sticky mneus. In this fluid they find ready lodgment and favorable condi tions for development, increase and growth. The “cold” or catarrh, ozama or chronic catarrh, hay fever, etc., are common manifestations of the ef fects of one of the least harmful of these germs or microeymes. In the discharges from the respiratory passages at such times thousands of the living animal culm are found. The fever, debility, pains “in the bones,'’ loss of appetite, etc., are indications of their depressing effects upon the vital organs. It is from germs of slower development, however, that the greatest danger follows. To the one most fully described by Kooh is due more deaths than to any other known cause. According to the researches of Cur- tbb, Flint and Dkjkuine, over eight million people die every year from this cause alone. The annual deaths in France, England, Germany and Russia from their destruction was over one and a half millions. In the United States and Canada over three hun dred thousand persons perished in the last year from the bacillus alone. The most common disease resulting from it is con- eamption of the lungs, but other organs of the body are liable to be affected as they de velop slowly but surely in any organ that may be in a weak or unhealthy state. If active and healthy, the liver, kidneys and bowels have to a wonderful extent the power of expelling these deadly animalculit: or parasites from the system. And this fact furnishes an important indication for the euocessful treatment of all the long list of maladies caused by these ] arasites as will be hereinafter shown. The studies of LiANOISOA, an eminent Italian, and Wood, Fobhad and others, are interest ing, as showing the large variety of ehronio diseases as heretofore classified, that result from these germs. Among the most common were “liver complaint,” biliousness or torpid liver, dyspepsia or indigestion, lung affeo- tions. bronchitis.* kidney diseases, ehronio diarrhea, spinal complaint, fever-sores, white swellings, hip-joint disease, rheuma tism, malarial diseases, snob as fever and agne or intermittent fever, general and nervous debilities, female weaknesses, ohroniooatarrh of the head or ozatiia, many forms of un healthy dischargee from internal organs, and all the various scrofulous affections of the skin, glands, bones, joints, etc., including consumption, which is but scrofulous dis ease of the lungs. In this large catalogue of apparently wide ly differing diseases, but really ail depending epon a common cause, and therefore natu rally to be successfully treated on the same general principles examination of the blood and secretions revealed large numbers of these parasites, and curiously enough the number bore a direct relation to the severity of the disease, a compar atively small number being pres ent in mild cases and a very large proportion in bad cases. Under the use of the specific treatment which they give, and which is substantially the same as that described and recommended later in this re view, the number was seen to steadily dimin ish from day to day ontil, with the restora tion of healtb and bodily strength, they could not be found at alt. The greatest variety of symptoms were found to accompany their presence, due to peculiarities of the constitution, the part of the body moat seriously affected, and the ef forts of the different orgnna^o rid the system of ttieee germs. Among the most common were frequent headaches, neuralgic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or variable appe tites, diarrhea, bad breath, hectic fever, cough, night-sweats, cold extremities, dysicpsia, catarrh, sore throat, sore eyes, etc., while where the akin was affected, salt-rheum. boils, carbun cles, scurf skin, erysipelas, Su Anthony’s fire and other symptoms were common, and all gradually but with certainty were cured by the same means. The hectic fe\er so often met with in consumption, with the hacking or tearing cough, night sweats, diarrhea, and wwioi Dy niviune due to ttu efforts of na* rare to tnrow on ana expel tnese germs were also readily controlled and cured in the same way aa were the old sores, abscesses and ulcers in the lungs, liver and other im portant organs. The corrosive adds and mineral poisons are found to possess the power of killing theee germs, but the dangerous nature of such powerful agents prevent their internal use. For the purpose of expelling the germs when onoe within the system it is necessary to resort to vegetable remedies in order to oleanse the blood of the germs without in jury to the patient. An American physician of large experi ence in the treatment of all forms of chronic diseases, now conclusively shown to be caused by narasitic life, for many years de voted much time to the investigation of the causes of these affections, and in the treat ment of many thousands of oases developed and thoroughly tested a combination of veg etable agents which he used with marvelous success m their cure. In cases of wasting disease, as consump tion or scrofula of the lungs and other or gans, and in all coses attended with great weakness, it was found to exert the most wonderful tonic and restorative influences, beside its nutritive properties far surpass those of cod liver oil or any of the remedial agents resorted to by the medical profession in such cases. Hypophosphites, iron and quinine bear no comparison to it in build ing up the strength of the debilitated. The recipe, as advised by him, has been used for years with the greatest success in a vast and most successful practice. The written experience of the many suffer ers who have been cured and who express in terme of the highest praise their indorse ment of its great value, are sufficient to fill volumee. Living witnesses are everywhere, monuments to modern genius and scientific progress in the healing art. Sufferers from “liver complaint,” giving rise to “bad blood,” consumption, scrofula, and other affections and symptoms, the re sults of blood poisoning from the ravages of the deadly parasites or disease germs so briefly referred to, find in this remedy prompt relief and a permanent cure The great and increasing demand for thii God-given and peerless remedy for eo maoj. apparently different, hah twnttylcindred, ail- ment8 L l£ji.4*rtl5 preparation in pure nd continent form under the name ot Or. fee’s Golden Medical Discovery. It can e obtained the world over at drug and gen eral stores, ana full directions for its use will be found in the pamphlet that surrounds each bottle. It exerts the most won derful etimulatiug and invigor ating influence on the liver, that greatest gland of the human system, which has been not inaptly termed the “house keeper of our health.” Through the in creased actiou of the liver and other emunc- tory organs of the system, all poisonous germs are rendered inactive and gradually expelled from the system with other impuri ties. In some cases, where there are un healthy discharges, as from the nostrils in cases of either acute or chronic catarrh, the nse of Dr. Bage’e Catarrh Remedy, a mild and healing antiseptic lotion, should be associated with the use of the Discovery. It is also advisable to use this lotion in other local manifestations of disease of mucous surfaces. By this means the germs of disease are destroyed and the membranes cleansed before any of the iioisonons bacilli are absorbed into the blood. In sore throat, quinsy or diphtheria, the Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used as a gargle, and the Golden Medical Dis covery taken freely. In women where weakness of special or gans is common and almost certain to be developed, attended by bacaache, bearing- down sensations and other local symptoms, the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion in conjunction with that of the Dis covery, speedily restores the healthy func tions and assists in building up and invig orating tbs system. In any case where the bowels have been costive and are not regulated and acted upon sufficiently by the mild laxative properties possessed by the Golden Medical Discover/, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets (little liver pills), taken in small doses of only one or two each day, will aid materially in estab lishing healthy action, and in expelling the disease-producing germs from tiie blood and system. At the risk of repetition and by way of re capitulation, we may truthfully say that Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, n a . raI t-rhAn nn> AGRICULTURE, Cabs op Young Stock.—We plead with the farmer for more tender care and comfortable quarters for young stock. There is not only humanity in it, bat money. During the first year the foandatioc is laid for the mature animal. If it is dwarfed the first win ter. it will at maturity be only a dwarf ed scrub. The time to make large frames is the first year, and without frames no profitable superstructure can be reared And the Iowa farmer is com pelled to raise the largest and hneet beeves, or quit the business. The plains and mountain valleys of the Ter- ritories can raise second-class stock cheaper than we can. Haying plenty of tame grass and grain, we can pnidaoe a superior article, which will always bring its full value in New York, Bos ton, Philadelphia or Europe. The de-^ mand for superior beeves is rapidly in-* creasing, and it is evident the supply will never meet the demand. Ttus brings us back to our subject, Take care tenderly of the young stock, for at tins season only can the foundation be laid for the beeves Iowa must depend on for the future. DOMESTIC. HUMOROUS. A German writer calculates that a single grain of wheat producing fifty grams the snbsequent season, and each year resown, would in the twelfth sea son produce enough to feed all the peo ple in the world for a generation. The estimate of fifty grains from one seed is theoretically not too much, as it is eften exceeded by single grains carefully sown. But in practice we find that the average sowing of one and a half or two bushels of seed per acre produces a crop of ten to forty bushels, which at the best is not much more than twenty five grains for each seed. One of the largest silos in Europe is said to be in France, on the property of M. Vicomte Arthur de Cliesedes, in the Department of the Oise. In this is de posited the produce of 170 acres. The silo is described as an oblong shed,roof ed with tiles 72 yards in length, 61 yards wide and 4} yards high, forming an admirable Dutch barn, under which a gn at portion of the cereal p olvu e of the farm is stored at time of in rvest. Till floor, instead of beinar level with the ground, is sunk alout 12 feet,and is paved and drained. In this great pit is stored the ensilage. it Sheep will endure severe cold if kept dry; but exposure to storms, either ram or snow, is very hurtful. The water remains in the wool, and in an atmos phere little, if any, above freezing, chills the body a long time. It is for this reason that an r pen winter is gen erally unfavorable f >r feeding sheep. li kept housed they are too warm, their appetite fails and they lose flesh, no matter how fed. The coarse woolei sheep are more impatient of wet than the hue wooled, the heavy, oily gum on the wool of the latter keeping the water from penetrating the skin. fever sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease germs in the blood, are conquered by this powerful, puri fying and invigorating medicine. Great eat ing ulcers rapidly heal under its benign infln- ences. Especially has it manifested its po tency in curing tetter, rose rash, boils, car buncles. sore eyes, scrofulous sores and swell ings, white swellings, goiter or thick neck and enlarged glands. “The blood is the life." Thoroughly olease this fountain of health by nsing Gold en Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and soundness of constitution are estab lished. Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs induced by the deadly disease germ bacillus, is promptly and positively ar rested and cured by this sovereign remedy, if taken before the last stages of the disease are reached. Fromits wonderful power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering thisnow world-famed remedy to the public, Db. 1’iebcs thought favorably of catling it Ids “ consumption cure." but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine that from its wonderful combination of germ- destroying, as well as tonic or strengthening, alterative or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, diuretic, pectoral audnntritive properties ia unequaled, not only as a remedy for con sumption of the lungs, bat for all chronic diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and Jongs. If yon feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular appetite and tongue coated, you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, and torpid liver or “ biliousness.” In many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such cases, Dr. Pierce’e Gold en Medical Discovery has no equal, as it ef fects perfect and radical cures. ’ For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night sweats and kin dred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and consumption, it has astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed by cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly bnilds np the system and increases the flesh and weight of thoee reduced below the usnal standard of health by wasting diseases. The plan of treatment that we have so briefly ontlined in this article for the large class of chronic diseases referred to, has long been acknowledged to be the most success ful, based as it is npon the belief shared by the most skillful medical men of the day, that the only way to get rid of the nox ious disease-producing germs in the blood and system is through the liver, kidneys and bowels, and therefore that those agents which are known to act most efficiently m re storing healthy action of theee organs are the onee most to be relied npon. For this pur pose the Golden Medical Discovery is vre- tminently the agent that fulfills every inaica- tion of treatment required. When you sell off the turkeys don’t sell all the largest and keep only the small, late hatohed broods. Before yon sell or kill a single turkey, select the very best for next season’s breeding stock. Sometimes it is good policy to ket p the late turkeys through the win ter and send them to market in March. They will grow right through the winter and turkeys, good ones,always oemmand a good pnee during the latter part of Februaiy and in March. There is no animal so easily choked as a pig; and there are undoubtedly many cases in which men have poured mixtures fearlessly into the moutU of a sciearning pig, but only to feel a dead weight on their hands, and see the poor animalstretched Jfeless at their feet. As a useful purgative for pigs, we may nieutum a ooup eof croton beans, bruis- e 1 and mixed with the food. Nitre and sulphur are among the remedies often of service, and easily administered. When pigs do not thrive and try to eat gravel or earth it is a symptom of indigestion. They are probably over fed. Reduce their food oue half. Give two pigs half a pint of sweet oil or lin seed oil in the lood daily for two or 3 days, and as they recover gradually give them a little dry corn in addition to their food. Some charcoal would be of ser vice, and may bo given frequently. The valuation of sheep ma le in the highlands of Scotland has reached a p )int which even old floekmasters have not seen smpissed. Sellers are often astonished at the prices th y receive, while buyers are paying prices at which they would have been appalled a year ago. This is especially true of desira ble breeding stock, while the boom ex tends through all grades cf decent mut ton sheep. “Have you had a job to-day, Tim?” inquired a well-known, legal gentleman of the equally well-known, jolly, florid- faced old drayman, wio, rain or shine, summer or winter, is rarely absent from his post in Iront of the Michigan Ex change. “Bedad, I did sor.”.” “How many?” ‘ Only two, sor.” “How much did you get for both?” “Sivinty cents, sor.” ‘'Seventy cents! How in the world do you expect bo live and keep your horse on 70 cants a day ?” “Some da}a 1 have a dozen jobs, sor; but bus iness has been dull to-day, sor. Only the lirulin* of a thrunk for a gintleman for 40 cinss an’ a load of furniture for 30 ciuts; an’ there was the pots an’ the kittles, an* the divil only knows phat— a big load, sor.” “Do you carry big loads ot household goods for 31 cents ?” 4 She was a poor widdy, sor, an’ had no more to give me.

In doing up wool the fleece should be pat np so as to be comparatively loose, light and easy to inspect and handle. Lay the fleece on the table, turn ir the head, tail and flanks, and roll it up, commonoing at the tail end. Tie with taro strings to ket-p the roll in place, and then one about the ends. The strings can be laid in grooves sawed into the folding platform, so that the fleece can be tied quickly. The greater part of the soil of Eng land has been under cultivation for » thousand yean, and yet the land is rioher and the crops more prolific than they were a thousand years ago. Why, then, should so many thousands oi acres in many sections of this country have become so greatly deteriorated in produotiveness in a comparatively few years? Careless and unskilled culture must necessarily be the answer. Useful Hints.—If you have plain boiled rioe for dinner, aud have a little left, it is by no means necessary that this should be thrown away; it will help to make delicious fritters; add milk and flour and one egg tor the batter; if yon have fruit to put in, so much the better; drop by spoonfuls in hot lard and fry till a delicate brown; a little sugar in the batter helps to give it a brown tinge. There is danger, as many people have found to their sorrow, of a gossamer water-proof cracking when stiffened by cold; so before patting it on, in severe weather, warm it before the fire, both outside and in, aud this danger is eyer- ted. A pretty way to make a border for a patchwork quilt is to piece one narrow strip of straight bits of silk; sew to the quilt, then put around it a row of blocks matching the centre of the qniH; and outside of this put a wide strip similar to the narrow one. The effect is very pretty, and this is a good way to utiluse the strip of silk left that oonld not be used in the blocks. Do not throw away as useless the juice left in the can when you send the cherries from it to the table; it makes an excellent flavoring for pudding sauce. If you do not care to nse it immediately, it is best to scald it and put it in small can and seal it. Use it in the s race as freel/as if it were wine. For the sake of variety try this for breakfast: Buy some nice pork chops, with little lac about th« m; fry them a delicate brown, and pour hot tomato sauce over them. Make gravy, using a little of the fat fried out of the pork; send to the table with baked potatoes, warm com bread and coffee. A little magnesia and water will some times correct the acidity of a child’s stomoob. and render unnecessary any stronger medicine. Powder a teaspoon ful of the magnesia, and put it in half a glass of water; it will not dissolve, of course, but will mix with the water so that an infant can swallow it. Give a teaspoonful of this three times a day until indications warrant you in disoon- tinuing it. When baking a fish that is not oily, it is an addition to the goodness of the dinner to bake potatoes in the pan with it. Peel the potatoes and out them in thick slices, and seive them on the plat ter with the fish. The potatoes, if per fectly cooked, will be brown and crisp and excellent, Instead of the conventional way of fricasseeing a rabbit, iry this way; Cut It up as if for fricasseeing; let it boil for fifteen minutes, then put it in fresh water; sprinkle a little salt over it; let it boil in this until it is tender, then drain off all but about half a teaoupful of the water, add a lump of butter and biown the rabbit in tnis. When done, remove to a hot platter, add boiling wa ter in the kettle for the gravy; pour this, when thickened and cooked, over the rabbit. Send to the table with stewed eranberried or cranberry jelly, for a garnish. Dressing Tables.—Toilet or dressing tables are very convenient, and add con siderably to the beauty of a pretty fur nished bedroom. It is surprising how much can be effected at home in pro ducing this veiy necessary piece of furniture. A few hours’ labor aud a large share of taste will transform an mduuuj suuds box into an aitiatlo dressing table. The materials required are tinted cambric, plain Swiss or dotted muslin, a little laoe and some ribbon, Make a curtain of the cambric (after having covered, the box with the same goods), and taok it to the upper edge of the box. It should just touch the floor. Over this place the muslin, evenly gathered or laid in knit plaits. A lace edging from two to lour inches wide is stitched around the lower edge. The top of the box is covered with the same materials leid on smoothly. The pin cushion ani side boxes are all covert d with the oambiio aud masliu. These latter are formed of stiff paper, and lined with cambric. Ribbon bows are tacked on the corners of the table, which is placed beneath a window where a strong light can be had, and when used in the evening the table is easily moved near a gas bracket. Tables of this description covered with oretonne are very pretty. For a very small sum a carpenter will form the frame, and boxes lor a dieasing table, some of which are made with a drawer and side closet, that is very convenient when a snug ana rather compact style of living is adopted, The Utility of Neatness in Dress. —Nealutbs is, however, the great de sideratum to economy in dress. If the toilet is carefully made, the dress tidy, well fitting aud neatly put on, and the collar or irill spotless, the efiect can scarcely fail to be attractive. Te keep garments fresh and neat muoh pains is necessary. The dress must be biushed or at least shaken when taken off, auc be carelully hung up, not tossed down on a on air or me bed in a crumpled heap. Gloves should be tenderly smoothed out, frills rolled up ant straightened and ribbons smoothed over the lingers, tightly roiled up and pinned with a fine needle; a pin is apt to leave the mark behind it in unsightly holes. “My son,'’ said am Ontario street mother, “go down to the grocery and get'me a can of green peas.” “I should squirm to wriggle,” answered the boy. “Go on, 1 tell you.” “I should limp to jump.” “If you don’t go this instant I will tell your father when he comes home.” “I should blow to tattle.” “Never mind, sir.” “I should whoop to squeal. ” When the father came the mother said: “I wish that you’d whip Tom, He positively refused to go down to the grocery, and told me that I was a tattler and that he would jump ou me if I didn’t mind.” “Tom I” “Yes, sir.” “What was that you said to your moth er to day?” “Never said nothing.” “Then I am a story-teller and yon are a pretty boy,” said the mother. “Look here, young man, if you don’t behave yourself, I’ll thrash you; do you hear, sir?” “i should titter to snort.” “ here to me, sir.” And the yonng man squumed to wriggle, limped to jump blew to tattle, whooped to squeal and tittered to snort. They were a Boston couple who had been married but a few weeks, and bad just gone to housekeeping, As the husband stood at the area door one morning, with the market basket in his hand, his bride threw her arms arounu his neck and said: “Do you indeed love me so very, very much, Bradford ? - “Bunker Hill Monument may fall,” he answered with enthutiasm, “but my love will always stand.” “Well then,” she exolaimea kissing him, “don’t forget the beans,” # Never interrupt sny conversation with a hacking Cough ; it creates a bad im pression.

In Germany, during the slippery sea son temporary calks are used lor horse shoes. Two sharp pointed studs an inch long are screwed into holes left in the shoe, and when the horse enters the atable they are taken out and a button screwed into their place, thereby pre venting all damage to the hone and keeping the screw holes from filling. A barrel sawed in two in the middle makes a couple of good tabs for feating grain to cows or stock but unless they have a hoop round the b p they often break to pieces in a short lime. If the ends are sawed off just above the second rjw of hoopi, they make stout, handy tubs about 8 or 10 inches deep, that will stand a good deal of knocking about. Salted Pork.—Many a man has had pork fail to keep properly, for the aim pie reason that it was salted in a frozen condition. Frozen meat—whether mut ton, pork, or beef, will not properly as similate the salt, and cannot be dtpen ded on to keep in hot weather. Ca»e au Lait.—Tin's is composed of boiled milk, or, rather, milk brought to the boil, and oofiee, half and half.
