and suffered terribly ; and, as my broth- er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Hla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. Yor five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three modths.”—T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.
‘Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it eradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ich and liver increased my treubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsapavilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and I was completely eured.’’ —Mrs. Augusta A.

Horse Notes.
Hon. B. Fasig gives the following advice to the owners of brood mares, respecting the selection of a stallion: Don’t breed to an unsound horse. Don’t breed to a pedi- gree alone. Avoid a lunk-head stallion, uo inatter what his breeding. (In such a case the pedigree is the tail, and it wags the horse ; you want a horse that can wag his pedigree.) Don’t breed to a horse that
the performance of some relation for his reputation. A horse cannot transmit a power he does not himself possess, There are many Stallions parading under a fashion- able pedigree (and a number) that can’t trot as fast as a pig canswim. A _ horse that is bred to trot, and can’t trot, cannot do what he is bred to do ; and is, therefore, a fraud and a failure. Breed to a horse that is good himself ; that can trot himself; that is tretting-bred through proved trot- ting lines ; a handsome horse, a good sized, a good gaited one. Find the stallion that combines all these qualities in the greatest degree, then breed to him. Let your neigubor breed to theory only ; you stick to reality, and what your common sense tells you is right, and when the test comes you will find that your reality gets the money from your neighbor's theory every time, Use your own judgment; don’t be

When egg-production alone is your object youwheed no males. The hens will lay as the eggs will keep longer. When some horses lie down they strike | the back part of the fore leg with the calks of their shoes and bruise it. After a while | a callous comes on and a sore. The only | way to prevent it is to put a thick ped | around the horse when standing in the stable, to keep the shoe from bruising the’ place. Dress the sore with any sort of liniment, and grease it till it is healed.
A Brahma pullet requires more time to. mature than a Leghorn. In a majority of cases the pullets that commence laying early do not grow to as large a size as those that may be considered as late layers. They, often, therefore, commence laying before ' they are fully matured. In selecting eggs for breeding, as a rule, the pullets shou!d be about a year old, in order to receive the necessary vigor and vitality with the, chicks.

—— en eo ee Alleged Piot Against the (Czar.
A London despatch says: The report that an attempt has been madz to assassinate the Czar has been neither contradicted nor con- firmed. No word has been received from vt. Petersburg about it. The policy of the Russian government has always been to suppress news of such attempts until it is im- possible any loager to conceal it. It will be remembered that the attempt toe kill the emperor and his family by blowing up the railway train at Borki was not officially re- ported until the details had been known all over Europe, outside of Russia for a fort- night, and even then the Russian government would not admit that it was the work of Nihiiists. Consequently in the absence of all official information about the latest attack upon the Czar’s life the, report is widely .credited, and all kinds of rumors and stories are in circulation.

The Snorthorn cattle have doubtless {ben injured fur both breeding and milking qalities by keeping breeding animals too fa. They show off well in this condition, but with this breed as with all others, the moderate flesh indicative of thrifty health is better for breeders than a superabund- , ante of flesh, which only interferes with their destined use. ‘This is a fact well understood by all skillful breeders, but it is a point wherein those inexperienced in the business are likely to make a mistake, andall the more so because the Shorthorn breed naturally runs to flesh and fat unless ver) carefully fed.

Tbe Enylishman having elab- orately described his symptoms, the Jap doctor in his turn made a long and very vague statement, from which it was impos- sible to gather anything really definite. ‘** But eome, doctor,” exclaimed the patiert at last, naturally anxious to know the na- ture of his complaint, ‘* you have not told me what it is.” ‘*Ah, you ask what it is ?” returned the native medico, in what he in- tended to be in his best European manner. ‘*Well, I will tell you, sir, it is five shillings?”
