[August. 
4woa.ts in California. — The Angora 
goat was introduced into California in 1848, and has been 
bred quite largely upon the common goat. An establish¬ 
ment for making gloves, robes, etc., uses thirty thousand 
goat skins per year. Other goat raising States of less 
importance are the Carolinas, Georgia, Kentucky, Ten¬ 
nessee, Texas, and Nevada. 
Some Beans. — The United States and 
Territories produce annually over three million bushels 
of beans. More than one-third of these are grown in 
New York. The States next in order are California, 
Maine, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Massachu¬ 
setts with her famous “Boston baked beans “grows 
only about twenty-two thousand bushels. 
Where to Oet llHn$>'ai'iiin flJi-ass 
Seed. — Whenever we recommend a particular crop, we 
are sure to receive numerous inquiries as to where the 
seed can be procured. We wish our friends to under¬ 
stand, that, unless we state that a seed or a plant is only 
to be had of a particular dealer, that seed or that plant 
is to be procured of all the principal seedsmen and 
nurserymen in the country. The seed of Hungarian 
grass, as well as that of all leading grasses, is kept by 
the principal seedsmen. It is safe to send an order for 
seeds of any plant in general cultivation to any regular 
seedsman. 
“ Cn,n You Xell WIe W^herc to 
Get t ” Many of our letters begin thus, and then fol¬ 
lows the name of some seed. The postal card now 
before us asks us the question as to Hye Grass, and ex¬ 
pects us to answer in the American Agriculturist, with 
the price. Our correspondents should bear in mind this 
fact: Seedsmen do business .o make money, and if they 
do not have on hand an article that may be ordered, they 
will procure it, and thus retain a customer. There are 
numerous seedsmen among our advertisers, and it would 
not be treating all the others right, to say that any one 
of the number has a kind of seed that may be obtained 
from all the others. 
Pioneer’s Plan fbr a Kotation of 
Crops.— It takes from ten to fifteen years in a newly 
settled region for any rotation of crops to be established. 
The character of the soil, the wants of the settlers and 
the market, all determine what crops are to be grown. 
The farmer will naturally fall into some system of suc¬ 
cession for his crops, but the more thought he gives to 
this subject at the outset, the better will be his future. 
We do not expect the exact methods of the English 
farmer on the newly broken prairie. This will come in 
time, when the virgin fertility is exhausted, and each 
farm has become a permanent, though small factor, in 
the national life. We will then need a rigid rotation, 
and it is well for every fanner, however new his land, to 
think of what is best for the future, in laying plans for 
the present. What will your own rotation be ? Grass, 
corn, oats, wheat—does this arrangement best suit your 
conditions ? 
■WoHld. You Y«lTise tl»e Use of lii- 
cul>ator.s ?—Whiteville Wine Company, Columbus 
County, N. C. The answer to this question will depend 
upon circumstances. If it is desired to produce a few 
do^eii of, chicks, yearly,'in order to keep up the usual 
i'arm flock, it is better to do it with the originaii incuba¬ 
tor, the hen. If one is to make a business of poultry 
raising, whether the product is to be marketed as i)Oultry 
or eggs, and chickens are wanted by hundreds, then it 
will pay to have an incubator — provided it can have con¬ 
stant and intelligent attention. .Among the many incu¬ 
bators advertised, we have tried but one, and cannot say 
which is the best. Our correspondent will do well to 
send to the various makers for their descriptive circulars 
and study them carefully, before deciding which to buy. 
Many have an electric or other apparatus for the regula¬ 
tion of the heat, others have the heat regulated by the

SIR ROBERT CHRISTISON, 
Baeonet, M.D., D.C.L., LL. D., F.R.S., Physician to Her 
Majesty the Queen, President Royal British Association, 
Professor at tlie University of Edinburgh, etc., says: 
“The properties of this wonderful plant (the Coca) 
are the most remarkable of any known to the medical 
■world. From repeated personal trials, I am convinced that 
its use is highly beneficial and tonic.” 
PROFESSOR DUNCAN CAMPBELL, M. D., LL. D., 
F. R. S., President Royal College of Physicians and Sur¬ 
geons, Member General Council University of Edinburgh, 
etc., etc., says: “Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic has more 
than realized my expectations.” 
PROFESSOR JOHN M. CARISOCHAN, M. D., Surgeon- 
in-Chief New York State Hospitals, Professor Surgery New 
York Medical College, ex Health Officer, Port of New York, 
etc., says: “My patients derived marked and decided 
benefit from the Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic.” 
PROFESSOR E. W. HUNT, M. D., LL. D., Honorary 
Member Imperial Medical Society St. Petersburg, Russia, 
Professor of Practice of Medicine, etc., etc.,says: “Liebig 
Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic is far superior to the fashionable and 
Illusive preparation of beef, wine and iron.” 
PROFESSOR H. GOULLON, M. D., LL. D., Physician to 
the Grand Duke of Saxony, Knight of the Iron Cross, etc., 
etc., says: “ It gives more tonic than anything I have ever 
prescribed.” 
It is invaluable in Dyspepsia, Biliousness, and Liver 
AflTectlons. 
PROFESSOR C. A. BRYCE, M. D., LL. D., editor Southern 
Clinic, says: “Really a wonderful reconstructive agent, 
building up the system and supplying lost nervous energy. 
For broken-down constitutions, it is the agent.” 
PROFESSOR H. R. BENNETT, of Fitchburg, President 
Massachusetts Surgical Society, says: “ The best tonic to 
build up a broken-down constitution from long-standing 
womb disease is Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic.” it is inval¬ 
uable in all forms of debility, nervous afl'ections, nervous 
and sick tieadaclies, and catarrh. 
For indorsements and opinions of hundreds of the most 
distinguished physicians, irrespective of school, see cur 
circulars. 
Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic is also valuable in Malaria, 
Fever and Ague, Chronic Coughs, Kidney Atfections, Asth¬ 
ma, Female Irregularity and Sufferings, Palpitation and 
Weakness of tlie Heart, Scrofulous Eruptions, Infirmities 
of Old Age, etc. 
The American Homoeopathic Observer savs: 
“ Liebig Co.'s Coca Beef Tonic certainly merits all the 
praise it is receiving.” . 
The St. Louis Clinical Beview says: 
“ We desire to call the attention of the profession to the 
reliability of the preparations manufactured by the Liebig 
CoiiipaHy, and to the higli character of the indorsements 
accorded to tliis celebrated firm by leading iihyeiciaus and 
medical journals of all schools.” 
The American Homoeopathic Observer says: 
“ The Liebig Co.’s preparations should not be confounded 
with any patent nostrums. They are legitimate pharma¬ 
ceutical products, and worthy of the recommeudations be¬ 
stowed upon them by both honicEopathic and allopathic 
journals.’’ 
PROFESSOR J. C. LeHARDT, M. D., President State 
Medical Society of Georgia, Member Athenee Royal de 
Bru.xelles, etc., etc., says: “The results obtained by me 
from its use in my practice are indeed flatteriug." 
It embodies the nutritive elements of the muscular fibre, 
blood, bone and brain of carefully selected healHiy bullocks, 
dissolved in a guaranteed quality of sherry, aiuf combined 
with the Coca (which is recognized as the most powerful 
tonic now known) and other valuable invigorating ingre¬ 
dients. It will reconstruct the most shattered and enfee¬ 
bled, reinvigorate the aged and infirm, and infuse new vital¬ 
ity into sickly children and infants. 
PROFESSOR WILLIAM C. RICHARDSON, M. D., Dean 
of St. Louis, Mo., Clinic of Midwifery and Diseases of 
Women and Children, says: “ To children with marasmus I 
have given it with decided benefit. It is a remedy of great 
utility in Dyspepsia. It is also a most poiverful and agree¬ 
able stimulant to the brain and nervous system, and it is es¬ 
pecially useful to counteract fatigue of mind and body.” 
DR. TUTHILL MASSEY, M. D., L. R. C. P., M. B. H.,S., 
of Manchester, Euahind, says: “ The eft'ect is sometluhg 
wonderful. From being depressed and very low spirited, 
easily tired, I can now walk any length of time without 
feeling fatigue. Before taking the Coca Beef Tonic my 
nerves seemed so uustrung that when I read a pathetic tale 
I could not refrain from becoming very much afl’ected, al¬ 
though 1 tried hard to overcome the absurd feeling. Now I 
am iiiyselt again. 
To THE Liebig Company : Dedham. Me. 
Gentlemen—Your agent left me a bottle of your Coca Beef 
Tonic. I took it myself, as I had been sick a number of 
months with a lung affection, and was not able to practice. 
It bellied me very much. So much so that I am now about 
as well as usual. 1 liave since given it to a number of pa¬ 
tients, and it has benefited every case. I am indeed most 
tliaukful that it came to iny hands. I had tried diflereiit 
preparations of Coca before, but had no effects from them. 
H. S. FHENIX, M.D. 
PROFESSOR C. H. WILKINSON, Editor Medical and 
Sxiraical Becord. says: “ The Coca Beef Tonic of the Liebig 
Company, combined as it is with Coca, quinine and iron, 
forms a most valuable adjunct to the practice of iiiediciue. 
Froiii’ithe experience we liave had with it, we are forced to 
speak in its favor and to recommend its use. Beef, iron and 
quinine, cannot be suriiassed by any other tlirec ingredients 
in or out of the dispensatory for invigorating an enfeebled 
system, and when such rcmeilies can be obtaincil combined 
from so reliable ahouseas Liebig's, it behooves the profes¬ 
sion to patronize the same to tlie fullest extent.” 
From an article on the Coca bg 11^. S. Searlc, A. M., M. D., 
of Brooklgn, Fellow of Medico-Chirurgical Society of New 
York, etc.: 
It is a useful tonic in nervous prostration, hysteria and 
melancholy. In sustaining nervous force it is superior to 
all known agents. I have advised its use to a large number 
and variety of persons for various conditions, and the great 
majority have found benefit from its employment. To a 
sufferer from nervous dyspepsia, a lady seventy-three years 
of age, who had been reduced to a diet of lightly cooked 
meal and bread, and who for three years had not had a 
movement of the bowels without the aid of enemas, I pre¬ 
scribed it. Wit bin three days she was able to return to or¬ 
dinary food, and though two years have passed, she has not 
failed to have a regular and normal evacuation daily. A 
lady who had for years suffered from nervous asthma, and 
who had been compelled to go up stairs slowly and with fre¬ 
quent rests, found great relief from the very first dose. A 
broker who had been subjected to excessive nervous strain, 
and was in consequence unable to sleep or eat well, was be¬ 
coming weak and emaciated. He greatly feared he would 
be obliged to relinquish business for a period of entire rest. 
All his symptoms were immediately cured, and he wefH on 
with his affairs as usual. A lady, aged fifty-five, has diabetes. 
Since taking Coca with her meals she has improved wonder¬ 
fully, being almost entirely relieved of her former “sinking 
spells,” thirst and constipation. A lady suffered for thirteen 
years with severe nervous headaches. They at first re¬ 
curred every three weeks, and finally every two days. She 
describes them as so violent that she would rather die than 
live. Three weeks after beginning the Coca she reports: 
“ I have had but one slight attack', and I am so much strong¬ 
er and better that I feel sure I sliall be cured.” Many in- 
stances of nervous headache, ncurasthena and neuralgia 
have been repoi ted to me as cured by the Coca when all the 
usual narcotics, tonics and anodynes have failed to afford 
relief.

To THE Liebig Company:

■WHAT IS COCA ? 
The first reply is that it is not Cocoa. 
COMMODORE GIBBON (United States Exploring Expedi¬ 
tion of the Amazon) says: “ The Coca has properties so mar¬ 
vellous that it enables tlie Indians, without any other nour¬ 
ishment the while, to perform forced marches of five or six 
days. It is so bracing, stimulant and tonic, that by the use 
of it alone they will perform journeys of 800 miles with¬ 
out appearing in the least fatigued.” 
PROFESSOR J. J. VAN TSHUDI (“Travels in Peru”) 
says: “ Setting aside all extravagant and visionary notices, 
1 am clearly of tlie opinion that the use of Coca is very 
conducive to health and longevity. In support of this con¬ 
clusion, I may refer to the numerous exainiiles of longevity 
among Indians, who, from boyhood, have been in the habit 
of masticating Coca three times a day. Cases are not un- 
frequent of Indians attaining the great age of 130 years, and 
these men, at the ordinary rate of consumption, must, in 
the course of their lives, have chewed not less than 2,700 
pounds of the leaf, and retained the most perfect health 
and vigor.” 
I tried Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic in a number of cases 
of clironic dyspepsia where the assimilation of food was 
very defective and there was steady loss of weight. The 
results obtained in two weeks were, indeed, nattering. 
One patient gained five pounds, another three pounds, and 
so on. J. (J. LeHARDY, M. D., Savannah,
