The One Crop System
of farming gradually exhausts the land, unless a Fertilizer containing a
high percentage of Potash is used. Better crops, a better soil, and a
larger bank account can only then be expected.

Every Honorable Veteran
DESERVES HIS PENSION,
And the Torn Limb Is Biot the Only
Reason for a Government Re
ward, Either.
From the Lewiston , 4/e., Journal.
Samuel R. Jordan has always lived here in
New Portland. lie is an honorable citizen,
and as a* veteran deserves the best care his
Government can give. It is true he was not
wounded in the war, it is also true he there
contracted the semis of a disease, compared to
which a mortal wound would have been a
kindness. W e all know him, and when he
was stricken with paralysis, or locomotor,
ataxia as the physicians said, we saw him de
prived of the use of his legs, a helpless, hope
less burden, a care to his friends and despair
ing of life. He has done everything be could
do to effect relief, has had the best medical
skill attainable, snd yet his lower limbs were
as dead as a dried limb, and a pin or knife
stuck into them was not felt. The nerves
were dead. But all this is now changed, and
it all came about through the recommendation
of Al. Pariin, of Madison, Me., a brother vet
eran. It seems Pariin had been cured of
spina] trouble and malaria (and, by the oflty,
paralysis is produced by some spinal affec
tion) by anew food called Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills, and he urged our friend Jordan to try
them. Jordan did so, and all his old friends
were wild with joy at the result. The pills
seem to have put .new Hfe into him and to have
built up his dead nerves as a starving man is
built up by good meat. Jordan is now so well,
he walks all over and without crutches or
cane and is the happiest man Hive. All his
old comrades of Company A, Twenty-eighth
Maine Volunteers, will Vejoiee with him.
An inquiry by the reporter disclosed the
fact that the pills above referred to are in fact
a great remedy and seem to have a sale nearly
all over the world. The druggists ail about
here have them for sale at 50 cents per box or
six boxes for $2.50. (They are never sold in
bulk, oy the dozen or -hundred.) They are
made by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Corns

It will be too late after the first part
of Juiy to plant corn for forage even.
It any is planted, during that period
either for grain or forage it siiohld be
on rich bottom layd. At this late date
pels and amber cane are a far more
certain crop for forage, as they can be
planted up to the first of August, and
if the laud is rich, will mature excel
lent forage. It’ preferred, however,
corn may still be planted ou the ricn
bottoms, and if put in at once stands a
reasonable chance of maturing the
grain. Put m after tho tenth or fif
teenth we can expect only forage.
The main crop of upland corn is
practically laid by, and from all sec
tions comes rite cheering nows that the
farmers are appreciating the necessity
of sowing peas broadsast or in the cen
ter furrow at the last plowing. This
practice will not only furnish food for
our rapidly increasing dairy stock, but
will insure the all important

If the laud in be planted is now unoc

valuable fertilizing properties make
this orctp a most important adjunct to
all grass, clover or grain crops. After

18 WHAT, LIVERPOOL MEM HAY OP AMERI
CAN COTTON PACKING?
Liverpool, June 19.— The cotton as
sociation of this city protested to the
Mersey dock board against excluding
cotton from the reduction in on ar ;os
recently made, on the pretext of risks
(ltd excessive expenses. Tiio board re
lied that Surat cotton did not involve
trouble or risk; but American cotton,
besides its liability to fire, was badly
packed. And the bales were neodlesiy
buiky, occupying a large space com
pared with other produce.
This was discreditable and disgrace
ful. Nevertheless the finance commit
tee of the board would con cider wheth
er redactions in tho charges on cotton
were possible.
I insert the above jnst ns it was sent
from Liver poo., to snow our farmers
exactly what ia thought of the condi
tion ot our cotton oy the men on whom
we aro dependent for tile fixing of tuts
prico.
It is to h) hoped that the efforts now
being made for smaller and more uni
form size of bales, and for Wore careful
methods of packing and shipping will
meet with nitimat'.- siicce-s. Once
those reforms aro accomplished we wnl

fair. There has been little complaint
through the month of too much or too

With every hing favorable during tho

This valuable crop jiron i es well all

weeks of seasonuble weather wo will
have enough to supply all our
wants without buying from our
sister states. In the lower half
of the. stale the crop, os a rule, is
“laid by," and tho last plowing will
soon be given in middle mid upper

imln-trv will soon regain its recent
magnitude.
