CONSUMPTION CURED. 
An old physician, retired from practice, had 
placed In his hands by an East India missionary 
the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the 
speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, 
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and 
Lung Affections; also a positive and radical cure 
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints. 
Having tested its wonderful curative powers In 
thousan ds of cases, and desiring to relieve human 
suffering, I will send freeof charge to all who wish 
it, this recipe, in German, French or English, with 
full directions for preparing and using. Sent by 
mail by addressing, with stamp, naming this pa¬ 
per, w. A. Noyes, 847 Powers BlocJc, Rochester, V. I', 
BUSINESS BITS. 
The Keystone dishorning knife, which is 
the invention of the late A. C. Brosius, Is 
now manufactured and sold by M. T. Phil¬ 
lips. i’nmeroy, Pa. Mr. Phillips has ample 
facilities for manufacture, and all orders 
will be tilled promptly. A prejudice which 
is fast wearing away is the thing unfavor¬ 
able to universal dishorning, and we be¬ 
speak a larger use of the dishorner from 
year to year. If interested write the man¬ 
ufacturer for full information and prices. 
The advantages of having a constant 
supiily of water always before the cows 
are too well known to need argument. 
With Cheney system of basins, a constant 
supply of fresh water is assured to each 
animal, and each btisin Is replenished 
from the iunk; water cannot flow from one 
basin into another, thus avoiding the dan¬ 
ger of contagion. Anyone building a 
wooden cow barn or remodeling an old one 
should consider well the advantage of the 
individual watering basin. Write to S. 
Cheney & Son, Manlius, N. Y., for prices 
and full information. 
Hubbard Squash for Canners. 
Gne of our readers in Maryland was 
offered $6 per ton for Hubbard squash de¬ 
livered at the factory of a local canner, 
and he thinks of trying two acres. He 
wishes to know whether the price, $6 per 
ton, is a fair one. What would be a good 
yield under what might fairly be consid¬ 
ered favorable conditjons in growing this 
crop? 
Six dollars per ton for this squash 
I should consider a death and destruc¬ 
tion price for the grower. He could 
hardly expect (in ordinary farming) to 
raise over five or six tons to the aci’e. 
Ten dollars per ton is as low as i have 
ever known squash sold for canning 
purpose. J. J. H. GKEGORY. 
Massachusetts. 
Marrow squashes are quite largely 
grown in south Jersey for canners at $6 
to $8 per ton. They are quite frequent¬ 
ly grown on land as a second crop after 
early potatoes, peas or other crops. We 
do not know of the Hubbard being 
grown locally for this purpose, but 
should think it fully as prolific as the 
marrows, though probably not as quick 
ill growth nor as early fruiting. 
Pennsylvania. e. d. darlington. 
As to yield here it is measured by the 
barrel. A yield of 50 barrels (4^^ tons) 
per acre is called a fair yield, although 
occasionally we have had as high as 80 
barrels tons) per acre. They weigh 
about the same as potatoes per barrel, 
or ±80 pounds. One of our largest grow¬ 
ers thinks no man could afford to grow 
at ?6 per ton. He usually gets from 
$1.25 to $1.50 per barrel; the prices vary. 
He planted last June, 12x14 feet; has 
much woi'k to hunt the borer, etc.

A Dartiiiig Machine. 
This is the only successful darning 
machine we ever saw. We have tried 
others that were absolutely of no value. 
This one is little short of perfect. It 
enables you to mend underwear, stock¬ 
ings, curtains, table linens, clothing, and 
does an endless variety of art and fancy 
weaving better, easier and quicker than 
by any other way. Full directions ac¬ 
company each machine. When a lady 
has once used this little machine, she 
would not do without it for any con¬ 
sideration. We will send it postpaid for 
$1, or for two new yearly subscriptions 
at $1 each. All money returned if not 
satisfied.

two feet high, have rosy cheeks, beautiful hair, 
heads that wili not break, eyes that will not fall 
in, nor suffer any of the mishaps that dollies are

inodel of the old fashioned doll that Grandma 
used to make, and would make Grandma open her 
eyes in wonder. They are made of extra heavy 
satteen that will not tear, and are dressed in bright 
colors that will not fade. They are vei-y durable 
and will give a child more real pleasure than any 
doll made. Wo will give these four beautiful dolls

,EXT WINTER it will he 
necessary for our farmers 
to study the (juestioii of 
stock foods. Corn, the great 
stock grain, will be high in 
price, and substitutes must be 
provided for it. How can these 
substitutes be found ’? Only by 
comparing other and cheaper foods with corn, and knowing beforehand 
how they will affect the animal. This comparison may he done by study¬ 
ing analyses, hut a farmer cannot afford to spend the Winter in experi¬ 
menting. He must know beforehand what others have found out. He
