It contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the concentration of nature’s vitality as found in the fo ld«* and woods.

Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en joy a large sale for a few years, then disap- tat front the public attention, but Dr. ierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has proved such a reliable blood remedy and tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of j«ev. ral generations in a family, and its in creased *al«-s y ar by year coming from the recorotu« rotation* of those who have tried it. prove its lasting merit, so that every bottle bears the stamp of public approval.

The cabbage and the turnip have their particular pest In this line, known as Aphis brassicae. John Fletcher, the Canadian entomologist, recommends that the Insect be looked for when cab bage plants in gardens are being culti vated, and as soon as the first colonies appear, which will probably be Into In July or in .August, they should be at tended to at once before they increase In number.

''A n experiment w a » made on twenty- one cows divided Into tw o lota. One lot was fed on green soiling crops and the other lot kept on pasture, says an Iudlunu dairyman In Fanner’ s A d vo cate. The pasture cows yielded th« most milk hy 6.018 pounds and tbe most butter fat by 280 pounds, but con sumed 1.2:12 pounds more grain. T be soiling crops brought an Income above the coat o f grain $18.08 per acre, while the pasture brought only $4.23 per acre. O f the soiling crop* a lfalfa gave the largest returns per acre, corn next, cane third, Itnflir corn fourth and oat» fifth. The average result shows that four times us much per acre can b « made by soiling as by pasturing. C o r in e H e r . Since rough feed Is usually much cheaper than grain, too much Impor tance cannot be placed on securing hay aud fodder iu the best possible condi tion, says W. J.

Grain feed should uot usually com pose over half the ration o f dairy eowa and from that to nothing, according to the character of the roughage available and amount o f milk given by tbe cow.

An acre o f corn that turns out forty bushels per acre. If cut when It comes ont o f the roasting ear and la quite green, will make ten ton« per acre. You know that good land well fertilized and well tended can double that and w ill make twenty tone per acre. F'our tons Is sufficient to feed a cow through the winter, that making au acre maintain five cow*. But It would not be good to feed any atock on ensilage alone.
