On Advertising. 
There seems to be an unwarrantable ob¬ 
jection in some minds, mostly medical 
minds, to paid advertising upon certain 
kinds of paper. All matters of this kind 
are decided by reference to the “Code of 
Ethics.” This, as we shall see, though, in 
many respects, strict, is sometimes quite 
elastic in others. For example, they are 
permitted to advertise upon tin and other 
metals, bricks, stone, wood, and card¬ 
board. They are allowed to put out and 
pay for their signs, and scatter their pro¬ 
fessional cards with liberal hand. They 
may write books, which are sold at a high 
price, giving a full account of their won¬ 
derful cures, always by way of illustration, 
and interesting details as to patients’ age, 
hight, complexion, temperature, tempera¬ 
ment, respiration, and domestic affairs. 
But this is not considered “advertising.” 
Their contributions to medical journals, 
describing, with appalling accuracy of de¬ 
tail, the cases they have cured, are copied 
gratis by the newspapers. But all this is 
within the code. 
We have often given our views on this 
subject and defined our position. As the 
public do not seem to share this prejudice 
to any alarming extent, we simply point to 
what has been accomplished by our Com¬ 
pound Oxygen Treatment in chronic cases, 
and those given over by physicians, and 
add that over 1,000 physicians are using it 
in their practice, and taking it themselves. 
But you will find it all, evidence, records 
and descriptions of cases, proof irresistible 
and convincing, in our book, sent free.

AGRICULTURAL. 
SATURDAY. April 19. 1890. 
The poultry keepers of Windham County, 
Conn., have been harassed by foxes for sev¬ 
eral months past, which have created great 
havoc among their flocks, in some cases en¬ 
tering the poultry houses even in the day¬ 
time. Recently the whole population turn¬ 
ed out for a grand fox Imnt, and with the 
aid of a number of hounds succeeded in de¬ 
pleting the ranks of the enemy very mater¬ 
ially.The Dominion Government 
has decided to place oats in the same cate¬ 
gory as wheat and the other cereals, on 
which a reduced rate of toll is allowed for 
passage through the St. Lawrence and 
Welland Canals, when bound for Montreal 
or ports east of that city.The 
milk dealers of Delaware, Chenango and 
Orange Counties have appealed to the At¬ 
torney-General to dissolve the New York 
Milk Exchange.There has been a 
great diminution in shipments of corn from 
Kansas. It is reported that less than 65 
per cent, of the grain has been moved, but 
that a large proportion is in the hands of 
speculators who are holding it for higher 
prices. At Jewell City alone there are said 
to be 120,000 bushels of corn in cribs by the 
side of the track.The Florida orange 
crop is about all shipped. Prices have 
reached a very good figure, and will prol> 
ably go no higher. The prices have ranged 
from $1.25 for very poor quality during the 
glut early in the season, up to about .$6 for 
very fine stock within a few days. The 
effects of the freeze are becoming more ap¬ 
parent and are seen to be very bad. 
Younger trees suffered most. Early peaches 
are also a failure. Some later ones prom¬ 
ise better. 
Elaborate machinery for the new beet sugar 
factory at Grand Island, Nebraska, recently 
arrived from Germany via New Orleans. 
The vessel also brought upward of 50 tons 
of beet seed, part of which was seut to the 
Department of Agriculture at Washington 
which has applications for seed from over 
2,000 farmers throughout the country. The 
plant at Grand Island will cost over $500,000, 
and will have a daily capacity of 4,000 tons 
of beets. There is a growing interest in 
the culture of the sugar-beet, and many are 
sanguine that it will prove to be a profit¬ 
able industry.It is stated that 
agricultural depression is not confined to 
the United States, but that it prevails in 
every country on the globe except France, 
British farmers being the worst off of all. 
France is almost entirely a country of small 
farms, but whether this has anything to do 
with its exemption from the general de- 
{ iression is not stated. 
n many counties in western Nebraska the 
severe wind storms have literally blown 
the seed out of the ground over thousands 
of acres. Many of them are destitute and 
unable to reseed. Governor Thayer has 
issued a call for aid, and this,to be helpful 
should be speedy. Wheat and oats forseed 
are especially needed. Contributions will 
be received by the Governor at Lincoln_ 
On Thursday, a consignment of 107 Shet¬ 
land ponies was landed in this city. One 
of them is said to be the smallest horse in 
the world, being only 81 inches high.
