THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR Beriy T. Moseley, Editor. V OL. XII. 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. Write for our “Farmers’ Guide,” a 142-page illustrated book. It is brim full of useful information for farmers. It will be sent free, and will make and save you money. Address, GERMAN KALI WORKS, 93 Nassau Street, New York. I |M At if WUpFImN rfjfp *'■' vjfsoutn ! Pr- 8 Pap* I. ;Pass &lp.

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.)

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 HUMUS of which enr worn lands stand, so much ill need.

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.
