Haiiett l Co. .Portland, JV Mexico and her Possibilities on tne Way of Commerce. Says the San Francisco Journal of Commerce: Our near neighbor is be ing subjected to tlie scrutiny and close attention of the business men of all nations in consequence of her recent railroad development, and books describing he resources and people are multiplying. One pub lished by Thompson & Morena, New York, and written by Lorenzo Cas tro, is both timely and important. From 1537 to 1821 during the period of Spanish rule the mines of Mexico produced an estimated amount of $2,086,269,703 of silver, and $68,768,411 in gold the latter forming a comparatively small per centage of the whole, in fact little more than California has produced in a single year. From 1821 to 1880 the estimated amount of silver pro duced was $900,658;309, and gold $49,413,786, in all nearly a thousand million dollars. The grand total is $3,103,110,219, but a computation based on the output of the Mexican Mint probably more reliable, gives $3,723,139,070. If we add to this the product of the Pacific Coast of the United States up to 1882, which was about $2,297,246,186, wo have a total of nearly seven thousand mil lion of dollars produced on what was formeily Mexican territory. The world has witnessed nothing like this. The stale of Chihuahua is consid ered one of the richest in minerals in the republic. It is divided into 20 cantons, where 120 mining districts exist. In these d'stricts 575 mines have been worked since the Spanish conquest. It is noteworthy that mines yielding only 16 ounces of sil ver to 300 pounds of ore have been abandoned because of their isolation and want of laborers. The character of this, the richest, Mexican mineral district may, perhaps, be more fully summarized by classifying the miner al districts as follows: Gold, 14; silyer 541, copper, 4; load, 4 mercury, Ij salt, 3, and coal 2. The population of Mexico, consid ering that immigration is almost nothing, is increasing with grat rapidity. It was 6,000,000 in 1808, 7,829,000 in 1S56, and is now 12,000, 000. It has doubled sinca the be ginning of the present century, and increased more than 50 per cent, in 26 years. With peace and industry ruling it will not be long reaching twenty millions. Its mines are still thought to be the richest in the world, and it is next door to us. Importations from San Francisco of a very small value per head would makea very large total. Reciprocity with Mexico is desirable and shall be obtained. Winter Rations for Poultry. As staple food, nothing is better and nothing Is so cheap as good In dian corn, and one meal a day may safely be of this grain, either .ground or whole, says aii Eastern exchange. Grinding is of less consequence for poultry than for the larger nimals, as every bird carries a Complete mill for this purpose, and puts in a new run of stones as often as it can get to the ground. A variety of grain is always acceptable; wheat screenings, buckwheat, oats, and rye, the last rather sparingly. Cooked food is highly relished potatoes or turnips, boiled and mashed with Indian meal, scalded and fed warm, especially on frosty mornings. Fowls are very fond of vegetables, eaten raw, and it sugar-beets or mangles or turnips are put within reach, they wilt help themselves. For an appetizer, noth ing is better than cabbage or the tops of tnrnips. Hens never tire of cab bage, and a good supply for winter should always be laid in. Animal food in some shape must be fur nished, if you want plenty of ef gs. Shore farmers can get fish offal from the markets, claims from the banks, or minnows from the ditches. Skim med milk 's always in order, and meat scraps from fat trying estab lishments, sold in large cakes, and placed where the hens have free ac cess to them, are excellent food for laying poultry. Plowing and Stirring the Soil. Dr. A. Oemler, in his article on Southern Truck Farming in the December American Agriculturist, treats tlie subject of soil as follows: Owing to the absence of a cover ing of snow and of successive freez ings and thawings, fall plowing, so useful at the North, is destructive of fertility at the South and not advis able. The land having undergone proper preparation, having been sufficiently manured, and the crop having been planted with special regard to the capacity of the soil, the most import ant matter is, through culture or keeping the earrh fine and mellow among the plants. Stirring the soil can scarcely be repeated too often during the earlier periods of growth, or until there is danger of injury to the roots or to the tops Of growing plants by the cultivator. The ground may be too wet, but never too dry, for stirring; because the more fre quently it is broken up, fined, and aerated, the more moisture will the soil absorb from the atmosphere. Stirring is an Operation- that she hi be performed after every rain suffici ent to cause incrusation or baking, which would prevent a free admis sion of air into the soil. The most obvious benefit Of stiring the Soil is, the destruction of weeds; tor no crop can become remunerative, if crowded b weeds which deprive it of air, light moisture, and use up a part of the fertility of the soil. The plow, horse-hoe and cultiva tor are to be used, whenever avail able; but the hand-hoe must always be relied on for the finer and more careful work when, particularly in the later stages of the crop, only su perficial stirring is advisable. When plants are grown in a crowded state, dartness and .want of air elongate the stems and leaves at the' expense of the roots and of a general healthy condition. The operations of thin ning and hand-weeding are performed in connection with hoeing to admit a free circulation of air around the re maining plants, and the sun is per mitted to have art immediate influ ence upon each, developing the de sired form, bulk, and other qualities. Farmers and Their Health. An exchange gives the following very appropriate advice: On going to bed, change the clothes, and If those taken off are to be worn the next day, turn them so that they may air and dry thor oughly. In eating, especially in warm weather, "go sidw;" Dd not come in, hot from work, and at once sit down to the table, but wait to cool off, and at meals eat slowly. Many look upon the time spent at meals as wasted, while1 it is of great importance. Eat slowly, and chew well. It you an prolong the time at meal by pleasant conversation, do so. Do not be in a hurry to resume work after meals in hot weather. Take a long nooning. Better Spir its, and increased vigor and strength will far more than make dp the time to rest. A general fault of our sleeping rooms is lack bf ventilation. One reason for this is the attempt to keep out flies and mosquitoes' by closing the rooms during the day. Frames upon which wire-cloth, or the cheap er mosquito netting Is stretched, will keep out insects and allow of need ed J von tilatton. Farmers who work all day, are not often troubled with sleeplessness insomnia as it is called; yet it is in some cases a disease, and the more fatigued one may be, the less he is inclined to sleep. A brisk walk before bedtime, and a sponging and rubbing of the whole body, with a wet towel around the bead, will often break up the Very unpleasant habit. Farmers are very apt to neglect their teeth. Every one should have a tooth brush, not too hard, and brush the teeth, using Water freely, on going to bed and again on rising.

I feel very grate ful to all who contributed to us last June when we had our house burned. It was a hard blow Ori us it is true, and we felt very destitute just at that time, but the neighbors came in the next morning after the fire, and before the old house quit burning they had the foundation for another house laid for us, and in an incredi ble short time they had a comfortable house built for which our hearts are full of gratitude; but our gratitude does not stop there. Mr. C. 13. Wells took the task upon himself to raise a contribution for up, and our fellow men and women contributed much more than we could have asked even if we had asked for anything. I have had many ups and downs in life, and that was the fourth time that I had been visited by the fire fiend. But the woret wound that I ever felt was when Mr. Wells drove up to our house with that load of presents, and my wife felt very much as if we were beggars not worthy to meet with re spectable people. I suppose that yon would not like to be troubled witb every name; some of whom who'contnbuted to us were entire slraingers to me, yourself among others, but we wish to thank all through your columns who helped us tu any way our most heartfelt thanks and may you one and all never be less able to help the needy.

A prominent minister residing at the east has just made the following statement; which is re-printed entire for the benefit of those who may have had a similar experience: To the Editor of the Herald: I have always shrunk from appear ing prominently before the public, but a sense of the duty I owe hu manity and the world prompts me to ask the opportunity for making a brief statement in your paper. Whether it be tru with others I cannot say, but during my entire life I have frequently been conscious that something was slowly and silent ly working to undermine my health and life. What it was I could not tell, but that some enemy of my be ing was devouring me within I was certain. At times I would seem comparatively well and then I would be attacked with the most distressing -symptoms. I Would feel peculiar pains in Various parts of my body, my head would seem heavy; my res piration labored; my appetite would be ravenous one day and I would loathe food the day following. Then again I would lose all interest in life; would feel weary withont exertion; would become sleepy at mid-day and restless at night. Occasionally my breathing wonld be labored and my heart almost motionless, while at other times it wonld palpitate vio lently, I thought these troubles were the result of malaria, and I treat ed them accordingly, but I got no better. Shortly afterward my stom ach became deranged, my food failed to digest, and the fluids I passed were of a peculiar odor and color. And yet I did not realize that these things meant anything serious. Finally I consulted a number of eminent phy- The gazette Job Printing Ice is complete in every respect, and are prepared to do all kinds of At Reasonable Rates When in need of letter heads, bill beads, ftrelettML statements, or in fact anything in the printing UtMk give us a call. Satisfaction guaranteed. (Jive us a Call. Pamphlets, circulars, and general job printing dona ou short notice both neatly and cheaply, sicians, each one of whom took a different view as to the cause at my troubles. One said I was suffering from brain diseasej another spinal difficulty; others heart affection, kidney diseasej etc. My symptoms were terrlblej Sfid in the hope of re lief I was cauterized cupped, blister ed and subjected to almost every known form of treatment. During one of these attacks, while at Red Bank, N. J., a physician was called, and left a prescription. After he had gone, I requested a friend to go and ask him what he thought of my trouble. The reply Was: "Oh, he will be all right in a few days it is oniy an attack of delirium tremens.' He was at once informed that this was impossible, as i had never used any kind of intoxicating drinks; whereupon he returned, made inqttir? ies, and Changed his prescription. But all the care of my friends and physicians availed nothing, t gtew worse constantly, and What is most terrible to think of, I did not know what ailed me, nor could 1 find any one who did. During the summer and fait of last year my pulse ranged from 120 to 130 per minute 1 had no relish for food, and was indeed a most pitiable object, t continued in this state until last December, when I become unconscious and lost my reason, though I had two physicians in whom myself and friends placed im plicit confidence. In this condition I was taken to Brattleboro, Vt., for the purpose of being placed in the insane asylum. I remained there un til last March, being attended all the while by ray faithful wife who never left me and believed that some dis ease and not insanity was the cause of all my trouble. I regained con sciousness in March last and insisted upon being taken home. The phy sicians advised that I remain, but I insisted upon leaving, and we began the journey, traveling slowly. I was met at the dock by a friend whom I recognized and then I became again unconscious and remained so tor over a week. When 1 once more reoog nized my friend and knew my sur roundings I determined to try, as a last resort, a treatment of which I had beard much but knew nothing. Neither myself nor friends had much faith that it or anything conld help me, but we resolved to try. We ac cordingly dismissed the physicians, gave up all other remedies, and I re joice to say that with the blessing of Him, who guided us, I am to-day a weU man; have not beep so vigorous for many years, and I owe it to the wonderful power of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. You can well imagine how grate' ful I must feel under the circumstan ces and, like a new convert, I ear nestly desire that all who are suffer ing should know and avail themselves of this means of recovery. Had it not been for the remedy above named I should doubtless now be within the walls of an asylum or in my grave. The great trouble with my case was that no one seemed to know what I was afflicted with and I am positive that thousandsof people in America to-day are in the same or a similar condition and do not know its cause. Kidney troubles are the most decep tive of all diseases. They have no symptoms of their own, but often show the symptoms of nearly every known complaint I know that peo ple are dying every day from sup posed consumption, appoplexy, heart disease, spinal complaint and many other diseases, when could the real cause be known, it would be found to originate in the kidneys. In their advanced stages they are the most terrible of all known maladies, as my own experience can folly verify. That I had Brigbt's disease of the kidneys there can be no doubt. That the symptoms were those of many other diseases is equally certain, and that 1 was doomed to a terrible death had I not been saved as I was, I am positive. In view therefore of these facts and with a hope that all who read this may take timely warning, I make this open statement freely and for the good of my fellow men. Sincerely, (Rev). E. D. Hopkins. Oceaxic, N, J., October, 1882.
