A CURE FOB ASTHMA. 
Asthma sufferers need no longer leave home and 
business in order to be cured. Nature has produced a 
vegetable remedy that will permanently cure Asthma 
and all diseases of the lungs and bronchial tubes. 
Having tested its wonderful curative powers in thou¬ 
sands of cases (with a record of 00 per cent, perma¬ 
nently cured), and desiring to relieve human suffering, 
1 will send free of charge to allsufferersfrom Asthma, 
Consumption, Catarrh, Bronchitis and nervous dis¬ 
eases, this recipe in German, French or English, with 
full directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail. 
Address with stamp, naming this paper, W. A. Noyes,

The milk supply is quite a little below 
that of last year. The butter fat is a little 
more to the hundredweight of milk. Last 
year it required on an average 27% 
pounds of milk to make one pound of 
butter in five dairies. This year it has 
taken 26% pounds. Cows are generally in 
good condition, with lots of green feed in 
the pastures. Farmers are not feeding 
any grain to speak of. They have planted 
a large acreage of corn in this section, but 
the corn crop is almost a failure on ac¬ 
count of too much rain. There is a very 
little millet raised here, and a very few 
peas. Oats and rye are the principal 
cereals grown here. Oats are heavy. Rye 
fair this year. There is a good crop of 
hay here. Most of the milk in this section 
goes to the condensery or the milk sta¬ 
tion. We make our milk into butter. Our 
butter has netted us a little better than 
23 cents so far this season. a. m. t. 
Deerfield, N. Y. 
Value of Manure.—As a rule, agricul¬ 
tural papers and experiment station re¬ 
ports have understated the relative value 
of the liquid fertilizers. I suppose one 
reason has been that if correctly stated 
the average farmer would not believe it. 
It has not been over three years since the 
relative values of liquids to solids as 
voided by the animal was generally stated 
as about three to six. Within the last 
year the figures have been nearly reversed 
by experiment stations. The real differ¬ 
ence of value is much greater than that 
reported by the chemist, for the reason 
the liquids are all ready for plant food 
and are utilized by the plant at once while 
the solids must await the process of de¬ 
cay and dissolution before available for 
the plant, and in this process much that 
is found by the chemist is lost to the 
plant. c. L. peck.

Central New York Notes.—I have 
been working for a year and a half to get 
rural free delivery from Brookton, and 
now I have the pleasure of saying that it 
has been ordered to start September 1. We 
had it ordered for July but the business 
men at Slaterville made a vigorous kick 
and got the whole thing stopped. Pending 
an investigation the postmaster at Brook- 
ton sent me word and we got to work 
lively, for we only had one day more. We 
sent in four well-filled petitions and have 
won the fight. I now thank The R. N.-Y. 
for inspiring me to make the start. We 
have had a very wet time for haying, and 
some are not done yet; oats are a large 
crop, some have thrashed the whole and 
others part of their crop, so as to get the 
rest in the barns. The yield runs from 35 
to 60 bushels to the acre; corn is poor, 
only once in a while do you find a field of 
fair corn, but there are weeds to spare. 
Buckwheat is thin on the ground and very 
late. Potatoes have blighted in some cases 
and rot has set in. Other fields look poor¬ 
ly and will need more work. I have not 
done anything to mine to speak of, only 
once in the row with a horse and cultivator 
and then the mud was so bad that I had 
to leave places untouched. p. n.

SPAVIN CURE 
Can Be Applied During the Hottest Weather. 
NOTE OUK CLAIM:—“IT IS INFALLIBLE.” 
Let there be no mistake or misunderstanding as to 
this point. It makes no difference how long stand¬ 
ing, what the condition, or if all other known treat¬ 
ment has failed, this remedy will positively effect a 
cure. This statement will appear absurd to the 
sceptic, but it Is absolute and inviolable truth, and 
we put it in no stronger words than facts, actual ex¬ 
perience— results — confirm It contains the great es¬ 
sential principle to promote the complex process of 
absorption. It will raise a scurf or mild blister, but 
it is not by blistering a cure is effected. The great 
potency of ‘ Save-the-Horse” lies in its concen¬ 
trated penetrating absorptive power. It penetrates 
to the seat of tne injury or disease, produces a 
physiological change, absorbing all inflammatory 
exudate or deposit, stimulating and diffusing vital¬ 
ity and strength to the tissues and ligaments, pro¬ 
ducing a healthy, normal condition of the part. Can 
be applied during the hottest weather.
