TO ESTIMATE GRAIN CROPS PER AC RE. -Frame together four light
sticks, measuring exactly a foot square inside, and wfrh this in one hand,
walk into the field and select a spot of fair average yield, and lower the frame
square over as many heads as it will inclose, and shell out the heads thus in¬
closed carefully, and weigh the grain. It is fair to presume that the proportion
will be the 43560th part of an acre’s produce. To prove it go through the field
and make ten or twenty similar calculations, and estimate by the mean of the
whole number of results. It will certainly enable a farmer to make a closer
calculation of what a field will produce than he can by guessing.

IN THE SPRING
As a remedy; in the spring and fall of the year, to carry off the accumula¬
tion of thick bile from the Liver, and viscid secretions from the other glands
of the system, the 11 King of the Blood ” is invaluable. One or two bottles j
will arouse all the functions of the body to healthy action, restore the appe¬
tite, clear the brain, and carry off those symptoms of languor and heaviness
everybody feels, more or less, when temperature changes.
LIVER COMPLAINT AND BILIOUSNESS. — It is not necessary here to
give in detail the various symptoms that indicate Biliousness, or general
affections of the Liver. Everyone who has ever experienced these diseases
knows what is the matter without any physician to tell him ; but it very
rarely happens that the person can tell what will help or cure him. “The
King of the Blood,” if kept at hand, will always dispel these disagreeable
feelings, and comfort, activity, and cheerfulness will take the place of pain,
lassitude, and despondency.
