The North Pole and Equator 
Are not more widely distinct than the standard 
tonic, stimulant aud alterative, Hostetler's stom¬ 
ach Bitters, and the cheap and flery local bitters 
which unscrupulous venders foist upon the un¬ 
wary as medicated preparations with remedial 
properties, flic utter are usually composed m 
the main of half rectified alcoholic excitants, with 
some wretched drug combined to disguise their 
real flavor and are perfectly ruinous to the coats 
of the stomach. Hostetler's Bitters, on tho con¬ 
trary, has for Its basts choice splriis of absolute 
purity, and this is modi lied and combined with 
medicinal extracts ot rare excellence and botani¬ 
cal origin. which both Invigorate and regulate the 
bowels, stomach and liver. They effect a radical 
change In the disordered physical economy, which 
Is manifested by a speedy Improvement tn the 
general health.

The foreign demand is for American red 
wheats. . . . Yankee speculators are ac¬ 
cused of running up the price, . . The Cu¬ 
cumber has been cultivated for more than 3,000 
years. . . . “ James Veiteh” is considered 
by many the finest Strawberry in cultivation 
In England. . . . The English potato, 
’•Magnum bonum,” has never yet. it is said, 
been attacked by Feronospora irnfestans. . . . 
Why not buy and sell eggs by the pound ? . . . 
Disbudding apple trees to change the bearing 
year is, according to Mr. Robert Manning, a 
failure. . . . A. O. Scott, in the N. Y. Tri¬ 
bune, tells how a cat, having lost her young, 
adopted six young rats alter killing their 
mother. . . . Sugar’s up. . . . The acre¬ 
age of wheat in England is less than for many 
years. English farmers have lost confidence 
in their climate and in their market. . . . 
Barley is more remunerative. . . . Many 
farms for sale—few buyers. . . . Come 
hither, cousins! . . . For the English farmer 
there is a great abundance of one commodity— 
advice! ... In the face ot want, one 
sickens of advice. . . . The London Times 
says that a keen appreciation of novelty, a 
readiness to adopt improved processes and the 
extensive application of machinery, constitute 
important elements in the industrial successes 
of the United States. That’s the way we econ¬ 
omise time, labor and expense. . . . J. J. 
Mechi cannot understand wby farmers manure 
their gardens more abundantly than their 
fields. . . . The Mass. Ploughman says that 
the Belle Lucrative is the most delicious of 
autumn pears. . . . The Country Gentleman 
thinks that in quality the Croton is superior to 
Duchess, Prentiss, Lady, Niagara, or Pock- 
liugton, though of less vigorous growth. 
The Rebecca grape has a sweet, rich and very 
agreeable flavor, but the vine sheds its foliage 
too early and the fruit, therefore, fails to ma¬ 
ture fully. . . . Croton Is a yellowish- 
white, handsome grape, but the vine is subject 
to mildew. ... A vineyard should not be 
cultivated later than July; late cultivation 
causes late maturity of the fruit. . . , Prof. 
Beal holds that of all organs the styles in the 
apple blossom are the most reliable for distin¬ 
guishing varieties. . . . The Prentiss, which 
ds sometimes spoken of as a new Grape, origi¬ 
nated at Pultney, Kenka Lake, N. Y., where it 
lias fruited for 15 years, . . . There are 
10,000 acres in Grapes in Ohio. . . . Maine 
farmers get §5.75 a ton for sugar beets. . . . 
The growing wheat in sonthem Indiana and 
south-western Ohio is reported to be greatly 
suffering from the Hessian tiy. . . The Ne- 
braska Farmer thinks that hay is very beneficial 
to hogs. Cut itwith the hay-cutter—the greener 
the better—and mix with bran, shorts or mid¬ 
dlings and feed the same as other food. . . The 
Horne Herald thinks that camphor is a cure for 
gapes. "An hour after a chicken has swal¬ 
lowed a camphor pill,” it says, “ the chicken 
smells of camphor. Camphor is a strong ver¬ 
mifuge aud the worm dies.” . . Now is the 
season, if ever, to graft Grape-vines. . . J, 
S. Wells, of Woodbury, N. J., bought a pound 
of the St. Patrick potato. It produced “ two 
baskets’’ but they were “unfit for the table." 
. . Air. Bateham says, in the Ohio Farmer, 
that Duchesse d’Aogouletne, Louise Bonne de 
Jersey and Beurre d’Anjon are the only pears 
which on quince stock can be recommended 
J *for profit.” . . Gen. Diven says that pas¬ 
turing on low, marshy land is a cause of 
• ropy” milk; Mr. Copley thinks it due to im¬ 
pure water; the editor of the Husbandman 
quotes Dr. Henry Leffmau (microscopiet) to 
show that it is due to low forms of vegetable 
life by some means (unknown to him) iufused 
in the milk. . . . John Roy spread 2J 
bushels of salt on his wheat per acre and the 
growth of the wheat is decidedly stronger than 
on a piece not treated to salt. . . Judge Bal- 
coin says timothy may hurt wheat if sown in 
fall. Another member of the club remarked 
that if timothy made a good growth in the fall, 
clover will not take so well the next spring. 
. . . The London Ag. Gazette thiuks that 
the only persons certain to bo benefited by the 
Royal Commission are two members of Par¬ 
liament, who have been paid to come here 
where no doubt they will have a most enjoy¬ 
able time. . . “Cross a pure-bred Galloway 
with what you like,” says a correspondent of the 
the London Ag. Gazette, “nine times out of ten 
progeny will be horuless and in other respects 
resemble the Galloway more than its other 
parent, which is a good proof of the breed 
. being long established.” . . Reports from 
Bessarabia (Russia) aud Silesia (Ger.) state 
that rinderpest is very prevalent. . . Ameri¬ 
can innovations in the way of farm utensils 
and machinery are the constant wonder of 
foreigners. . . England is discussing the 
merits of the Cooley creamer and generally 
with approval. . . Wages per month by the 
year in 1879 w r erc lower in South Carolina than 
in any other State, and highest in California 
and Nevada. . . The Suffolk is the popular 
1 breed of hog among the nobility. . . Ten 
years ago, good grapes brought twenty-five 
cents per piound, now the average is lees than 
five. . . The Hessian Fly has been very de¬ 
structive to wheat in Russia. . . The Men- 
nonites of Kansas have been successful in 
raising silk-worms. No doubt the United 
States is destined some day to become a 
great silk-raising country. The Mulberry 
grows luxuriantly, so does the Osage Orange. 
The one thing wanting is cheap labor. . . 
u People who are considered church folks are 
delighted with horse-racing at fairs. They 
would not attend a circus or allow their chil¬ 
dren to go, hut an ‘ agricultural fair’ is different 
you know.”—N. Y. Tribune. . . The pre¬ 
miums for the next fat Stock Show in Chicago 
(Nov. 10—15) aggregate §5,000. . . “The 
Foster peach,” says J. J. Thomas, “has 
proved one of the most profitable market 
peaches in Western Now York aud handsome 
profits have been realized. It resembles Early 
Crawford.” 
“ Correction. —The modern name of Atlas, 
must he compositor, because his shoulders are 
so broad, and he so oblisziugly bears all the mis¬ 
takes in the priutiug office. A case in point:— 
We had in our recent, Fair number an adver¬ 
tisement setting forth the merits of Dr. Sykes’s 
Catarrh cure and his iusulllator, for which latter 
he charges §1.50. Thu compositor thought it 
would bean improvement to substitute “in- 
sulficator”—whatever that may mean—and he 
also came to the conclusion that doctor’s price 
was too high, so he put it at §1.40, a reduction 
to which Dr. Sykes objects. Hence if our 
renders waut an insufflator they must remit 
$1.50.
