Hon. Jos Gilmore gives us the fol
lowing: Ed. Herald: Reading of cattle
dying by eating smut on corn, I am
tempted to give you my treatment of
cattle in the fall and I have never had
one die from eating smut yet. Turn
your cattle in where there is plenty of
good corn or stalk, they never 'eat
smutty corn when there is plenty of
good. Let them run from seven to
ten days; put up in the yard and give
as much hay and corn only as will
keep them quiet, with plenty of Salt
aid good water, then turn in field again
for eight or ten days and so on. It
keeps your cattle looking better any
wav than being in the field continual
ly. Good Cider
all the year round can be had by the
use of the Neutral Sulphite of Lime.
Thousands have used it with perfect
satisfaction since its introduction I y
ns in 1858.
The Sulphite of Lime is designed to
keep good Cider good. It will not
make good Cider out of bad, neither
will it change sour Cider into sweet.
The later in the season Cider is made
the better it is; and the addition of
the sulphite preserves it perfectly.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Pu the Cider, as it runs from the
press, into clean casks, and place casks
in a cool place. Watch the progress of
the fermentation from day to day ; and
before it gets sour, when it tastes just
right, mix with it the Sulphito of Lime,
first stirring it up with some of the
Cider in a pitcher. It will soon settle
clear, and the Cask may be bunged
tight, and kept through the winter, or
it may be used as desired. If the Ci
der is cloudy or turbid, beat up half a
dozen eggs, shells and all, turn into the
bung-hole and let it rest a few weeks.
It will make the Cider very nice and
clear Jour. Chemistry.

HOLIDAY (JOSS I P.
Interesting Reading Matter for every
one.
Who among the living is there, who
does not look forward to Christmas
and New Years time, with a feeling of
happiness and pleasure not superceded
by any other event of the year. It is
a'time of social enjoyment, giftgiving,
family reunion and friendly greet
ings of "A Merry Christmas" and
"Happy New Year." There is surely
a serious flaw in one's nature who can
not bo happy during these coming
holidays. The Father and Mother of
every little one in Plattsmouth look to
those days with more than usual pleas
ure. They are no doubt suggesting the
propriety of presenting Son Thomas,
George or Harry, with a new suit of
clothes, a nice hat or cap, a pair of
new boots, a handsome neck tie or oth
er articles of useful nature, aud to
Daughter Mattie. Annie or Mary a
nice cashmere, Bourette, or Lustre
Dress pattern, a beautiful Lace Scarf,
Nubia, Shawl, a lovely Felt Hat or
Velvet Bonnet, Cloak or a fine set of
Jewelry, probably "Pa" will need a
new suit of clothes, likewise "Ma" a
new Dress or a Set of Furs to appear
at church Christmas morning, and hero
is the young gentleman who will en
deavour to present his fair Jane Ann
with something suitable to her taste,
probable with a nice Lace or Silk hand
kerchief, or Zephyr Shawl, Kid Gloves,
Mottoes, Card Board designs. Album,
Glove or handkerchief Cases, &c, and
she in turn will present her dear Au
gustus with a nice Cigar Case, Tie,
Scarf, Cuff Pins or Slipper patterns ; in
conclusion, we will add that the time
is short for the selection of your holi
day presents and further that any of
the above can be found at Solomon &
Nathan's, at prices within tho reach of
everyone.

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the ef
fects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable peo
ple is most alarming, making life ac
tually a burden instead of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice of Druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Flower. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses
will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all Druggists on the western
continent. 281y-eow

Osage, Iowa, Dec. 20, 1S77.
Star Manufacturing Company, Fort

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, and we verily believe there is
not a rat or mouse left. The saw mill,
feed, custom and merchant's mills were
full of thein, as were also our houses,
cooper shops, barns and hog pens.
Since giving them the poison they have
been running round as "crazy ns loons"
and the river bank is line with dead
rats, in fact it has created a terrible
commotion among them and they have
all left, thanks to the "Centennial Rat
Exterminator," each box of which is
worth a twenty dollar bill. We will

for it. Thanks, thanks. Very respect

A Gentle Hint.
In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature, rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day, it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neglect
ed colds, half the deaths resulting di
rectly from this cause. A bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor's
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia
Severe Cough-s, Croup or any other di,
sease of the Throat or Lungs, its suc
cess is simply wonderful, as your drug
gist will tell you. German Syrup is
now sold in every town and village on
