John F. Jones, Edom,Tex. .writes-
I have used German Syrup for the
past six years, for Sore Throat,
Cough, Colds, Pains in the Chest
and Lungs, and let me say to any-
one wanting such a medicine—
German Syrup is the best.
B.W. Baldwin, Camesville.Tenn.,
writes: I have used your German
Syrup in my family, and find it the
best medicine I ever tried for coughs
and colds. I recommend it to every-
one for these troubles.
R. Schmalhausen, Druggist, of
Charleston, 111.,writes: After trying
scores of prescriptions and prepara-

without relief for a very severe cold,
which had > settled on my lungs, I

Th® cultivation of flax was gradu-
ally abandoned as the cheaper cotton
fibres began to tyke the place of linen
for many domestic uses, and the farm-
ers felt that the same amount of labor
expended in growing other crops would
provide them * with taonoy to buy cot-
ton from California or linen from
Europe. It was also considered to be
a crop that was very exhausting to the
soil, and it might have been better to
devote land and manure to the produc-
tion of com, that could be eaten, than
to flax. But it is possible that with
tho improved labor-saving machinery
of the present day, and the ease of
obtaining fertilizers, which will restore
to the land the elements taken from
it by the crop, or furnish them in
advance before the crop is grown,
that this may once more become an
important part of agriculture in those
sections Where land and labor are not
Car* *f Implement!. ,
Tools and implements are damaged
more by rust and exposure to alternate
rain and sunshine than by actual
usage. Hain and dew will rust the
bright journal bearings of farm ImpU
ments on one side, perhaps, rendering
that side rough. Then that side of the
bearing- will begin to “cut" or wear
away; and as soon as one side of a
journal begins to wear It will wear
faster and faster until the bearing is
damaged beyond repair, requiring the
substitution of a new journal. Rain
and dew will expand the wood work of
iippjeijients and soften the grain of tho
surtSee, after which tho heat of the
Sun will dry and orack the wood, mak-
ing numerous small fissures for water
to enter. Plow handles and many
other parts of implements that have
been bent after they have been ex-
posed to the influence of rain and sun-
shine lose their desired form and
shape. Shovel handles, scythe snaths,
eradle fingers and some other bent
portions of hand tools and horse imple-
ments are often ruined by exposure to
storm and sunshine. Let it be an in-
flexible rule of the farm that tools and
implements must not be left outdoors
exposed to the damaging influences of
wet and dry weathor.. Let every

(linseed meal) for feeding purposes,
will assist to make the crop more
profitable than when grown for fibro
alone, says a writer in the Ohio
Farmer. While in the western states
it is often grown upon a newly broken
sod, it likes a mellow and rich soil,
and does best on that which has been
worked one or two years, if thore are
not too many woeds. It is sown when
the ground gets fairly warm and set-
tled in the spring, or about corn-
planting time, and may be put in
broadcast or in drills, the latter being
preferable. The drills should be about
nine inches apart When sown for
seed alone, from a half bushel to three
pecks of seed to the acre is used,
which makes a branching plant but to
get good fibre it is better to have it
much thicker, and two bushels broad-
cast or a bushel and a half in drills
will be none too much, and it would be
better to increase that amount Keep
down the weeds until the crop shades
the ground enough to prevent them
from growing.
When the seed is nearly ripe, it is
pulled (not cut if fibre is the princi-
pal object) and tied in bundles, and
put up in small stacks for drying.
Then it must be threshed, and for this,
if not done by the hand flail, a ma-
chine is needed which will only thresh
the heads and leave the straw un-
broken.
The beet process is the “rotting."
This is sometimes done by exposure
upon the grass to dew and rains, but
the better way is a resort to the ponds
and brooks. A clear space free from
weeds and foul matter should be
chosen, and the bundles laid in butts
downward and lightly touching the
bottom. There it remains from five to
ten days, or until tho core will come
out of the fibre easily when the stalks
are broken. Now take out by hagd,
or with the woodon barley fork, and
stand up to drain, for which one day
and night, of good woather, should be
sufficient.
Then comes th® “grassing." which
is opening the bundles and spreading
evenly upon a cloan grass Bold, turn-
ing onco or twice a day to improve the
oolor. It should be ready to take up
again in from three days to a week,
much depending on the weathor. Next
follows the “braking," which is best
done by a set of fluted roliors in a ma-
chine mado for that purpose; then the
“hatchelling” nnd the separation of
fine nnd coarse fibre, and tho spinning
and weaving. The flax mill or linen
manufactory should be prepared to
take it in the bundles, and perform nil
the subsequent labor by machinery
after it is taken from the grass. In
fact, they might take tho stalks after
threshing and perform the labor of
•Totting” and “bleaching” better than
the farmer.
The needs to successful growing of
flax are good, strong soil, well worked
befote the sowing of the seed, with
plenty wall-rotted old manure, and
then an application of from 400 to t!00
pounds per acre of a mineral fertiliser
largely composed of potash and
phosphoric mold, which would be much
oheaper than one with a large, or even
the usual, percentage of nitrogen.
Then a heavy, bright-looking, plump
clean seed is needed, the im port.nl
seed being ooatldered rather hotter
than the American gro^n. Like mar./
other oropa flax requires to be attend-
ed to at the proper stage® of growth,
and a little neglect may eoet heavily
A good crop is estimated to be about
000 pounds of fibre and ten to fifteen
pounds of seed, or about |70 per acre.
Mhould flbrella be the desired pro-
duct of the manufactory, the process
of growing and handling would be
much simplified, ns the seed can be al-
lowed to get fully rip* giving a larger
yield. It oan be out by ‘mower or
reaper Initsed of being pulled, and
there need not be the care in threshing
the
blades dry and put them under shelter
as soon as they are not in actual use.
A man will accomplish just as much
per day if he is required to clean his
tools and put them in a dry place as he
will to throw them down where they
were used last, covered with dirt and
exposed to the weather.—Amerieao
Agriculturist
The Milking Stool,
Borne dairymen make the milking
stool with only one leg. The only
merit this sort of a stool has is that it
is cheap. And when it tips over into
the manure it is both cheap and nasty.
The milking stool should have at least
three legs. And the legs should
“flare out" at the bottom. A stool
made that way will stand firmly on
any uneven floor, and should be kept
in a clean place when not in use. If
a narrow slot be cut in the seat of tho
stool, you can drop your fingers in the
slot and pick up a milking stool.
Have everything as convenient as
possible in the cow stable—and every-
where else.
But if you keep hens you can find
no better use for your surplus milk
than to feed it to them. If you don’t
keep hens you are making a mistake,
that is, if you are a’ butter dairyman.
Skimmed milk and curd will go far
toward making all tho eggs you use.
and eggs are a cheap and wholosome
food when they are laid by your own
hens. But don’t let the hens roost in
the cow stable—nor any other stable.
Clover.
If wo had known as mueh about
clover asd how to use it so as to make it
pay twenty years ago, as wo do now. we
might have gotten out of debt and had
more of the comforts of life much soon-
er than wo did. We were too crazy
after stable manure; but little by little
the wonders that could bo dono wore
found out. Our rotation is olovor one
year, tho first crop cut for hay, usually,
and tho second left on tho ground until
time to plow for potutoos the next,
spring; potatoes tho second year, fol-
lowed by wheat in tho fall, without
plowing the ground.—Hum! World.
