He is authorized to collect from any and all who may be owing the Northwestern. Be ready to make settlement in full when he comes He will probably see yon some time during the first half of the present month. We are not doing this be cause we wish to force settlement, but because we must have money and because we are too tied up iu busiuess to attend to it personally. All owing accouats of long standing are especially requested and urged to make settlement.

CUKE FOB CORN sTAl.H DISEASE A correspondent of the St Louis Globe-Deinocrat states that the death of cattle from running in the corn stalk fields may easily be pre vented “by giviDg one pint of sail containing three table tableapoonstul of turpentine, dissolved in three pints of warm water, given in drench ing bottle, even after the animal is down or unable to walk. It can be relieved in thirty minutes and per manently cured. “After giving the drench, rub one half pi at of turpentine on the an>mal just behind the shoulders. Hub tlie turpentine ou both sides of the ani mal and along the neck reins from the jaw to the brisket. This will promptly relax the nervous system that is the cause of death. The salt j will immediately penetrate the dry husk iu the stomach, while the tur pentine entering the blood will couu eract the nerve trouble produced by the cougestiou of the stomach, caused by the dry stalk and hu ks contained therein. It is not caused by any fungus or microbe on the stalk, as ulleged by many persons. | “l believe the above also to be the most reliable remedy known foi horse colic, even in the flatulent stage. It will relieve und perma nently cure in thirty minutes.”— Norfolk News. Thoiinjindt b®nt Into KxIIp.
