So many people make the mistake of taking remedies which at best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, Grceucastle, Indiana, says: "IJor years I have suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism, which thebest physicians were unable to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to reach my trouble. I gradually grew worse uutil I was uuable to take mv food f or handle myself iu any way; I was abso\lutely helpless.

Our last aiticle was devoted to hog products as one of the most pressing of our wants and hog culture as being naturally adapted to our conditions. What about horses and mules? Can any man givo a sensible reason why our southern farmers should not produce all the horses and mules needed for our farms and roads, including also the demands for theso animals in our cities and towns? Doubtless there are some farmers who are so situated that it would not lie convenient, and I possibly not prolitable. tor them to breed horsos timl mules; but wo claim that tho lar<r? rn verity could not only easily ami on von iently raise all c! t!io?=<? animals dod for their us. . bur . i . ugh to supply all local demands. Tho white man who does hi? own work <>r who employ; white laborers should especially he ; repurod for this kind of hreed If nil the t: that now .. of each * ot the cotton states to pay for mules and horses could bo kept at home it would be just that 1 much saved to the general wealth j of these states, and no small sum it amounts to each year. A good hor.-e or a stout, active, well bred | mule is a very important factor in economizing labor on the farm, in comparison with the hundreds of t lion sands of lilt le twelve-hands high 700-poun ! mules that are so common throughout the south. A mule colt can be raised to a working ago (two years) about as 'cheaply, so far as su bsisfence is concerned, as a well -cared for cow or steer will cost to the same age. livery one know- what a difference 111 the cost of sueh a mule if * i bo bought out er a drove. A horse colt cost- lit lie nu re at throe years than a of tho same/ago and will fetch at 1. :;-t twice :ts much.? <' >nstit ution.

There io otio piece of advice which i would give with intense ! earnestness to all; it is: Never , bo tempted by curiosity to read j what you know to he a bad book | or what a very liltlo reading : shows you to be a bad book. Bad ( books?by which I do not mean merely ignorant and misleading books, but those which are prurient and corrupt?are the most fatal emissaries of the devil. They pollute with plaguo the moral at! mosphore of the world.
