Next 1o the bubject of religion,
iuvolving our eternal well being,
nothing should interest us so much
as the subject of llyjricue ami Med
iciue, iuvolriug our temporal hap
piness. Yet the notions of most
persons on medicine are so crude
and false, that it may truly be said,
7 they are living in heathenish dark
J ness medically, not excepting a sin
gle one of the professional men of
the Old School.
The remarks which I expect to
make in these brief papers will jus
tify fully this statement.
The science of medicine may be
said to hare arisen in the following
manner:
From the earliest times, whenever
any person was seized with a mala
dy, uothiug was more natural than
to J rt; different substances, plants or
minerals, administering them to the
unfortunate fellow.-beiug, to see
whether they would not stop his
pain and arrest the disease (I want
-i the gentle reader to uotice especially
v this word "fry.") If one substance
s did no good, the friends would try
another. If the patient got well, it
was natural to try the same drug or
drugs for similar affections in other
persons. This trying jtroccss, the
trial of drugs ok the sick is (he
chief source of the supjioscd knowl
edge of the use of drugs in disease in
the Old School practice.
Again; it would happen some
times, that some person would par
take of a plant or mineral and the
result would be a disturbance of the
vital functions in various degrees
(poisouiug); and tho observations
instituted, either before or after
death, constitute the second chief
source of the knowledge of the effect
of drugf, and their application in
disease.
A class of men then made it their
business to classify these drug ef
fects thus observed, aud in this
manner arose the Old School Mate
ria Mcdica (medical material). Thus,
e. g., the drugs causing vomiting
were placed under one head and
called emetics; drugs producing an
increase In the amount and frequen
cy of tho bowels are classified as
cathartics; and in a similar manner
tonics, astringents, the various stim
ulants, alteratives, &c, &c.
Xow, the science of medicine evi
dently includes:
(1.) A knowledge of the struct
ure of the human organism (Anato
my). (2.) A knowledge of the func
tions of the different organisms
(Physiology.)
(3.) A knowledge of medical sub
stances, (or poisons), including
Chemistry and Materia Mcdica.
(1.) A knowledge of diseases,
(Pathology.)
(5.) A knowledge of the applica
tion of remedies to the diseases,
(Therapeutics. -
(G.) Surgery.
(7.) Obstetrics.
The great reform called Homeop
athy affects chiefly Therapeutics and
Materia Mcdica, and modifies also
Surgery, Obstetrics and Pathology.
Of all these departments Thera
peutics, or tho application of reme
dies in disease, is evidently the most
important "When you are called to
tho bedside of a sick person, of what
benefit is to him all your knowledge
of Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry,
K &c, if you don't know what to give in
order to cure? And this is pre-
CISELY THE SAME roiXT IX THE Ol.D
ISchool practice. The Therapeu
tics of the Old School is a medley
of contradictory theories, theories
which are not verified in practice.
No one understands this better than
tho Old School doctors themselves.
The utter uselcssncss and impotence
of the Old School practice is well
known to the large body of intelli
gent people throughout the civilized
world. The best of the Old School
X physicians admit this continually;
they have no confidence in their
medication. A mobt thoroughly ed
ucated physician of the Old School
made this statement to me not long
ago. bays he: "In an acute uis-
ease, no medicine can be of any use,
? non - interference is the best treat
ment"
When a sick person is treated by
an Old School doctor, and he gets
well, it by no mcaus proves, that
his medicines did him one particle
pf good, because by far the largest
f number of cases of sickness would
get well without any medicine
whatever. :VjlUiire defined the
practico of medicine as "the art of
amusing the patient whilst nature
cures the disease." liefer to any
Old School treatise on Therapeutics
and yon will find again and again
recurring phrases .like this: "It
must be admitted, that no satisfac
tory remedy has been found for this
disease, and we must resort to gen
eral support," &c.
What is the reason for this failure
of medicine in the Old School ? The
reason is. this: Their "system" of
Therapeutics is almost purely cm
pyrical it ib trying this and trying
that, without any definite rule for
the selection of a drug; a hit in the
dark "lucky if they kill the disease
and not the patient"
How utterly helpless has the Old
School been in the terrible epidem
ics of Cholera, Scarlet Fever, Yellow
Fever, Diphtheria, &c ? Those dis
tricts and families' that have the very
best of medical treatment (Old
Scnqel),8uffer invariably as much as
those entirely destitute of medicine,
thus demonstrating conclusively the
usolessncisS of the Old School medi
cation. - ' '

The great importance of perform
ing everything in the best possible
manner, and just at the right time,
is obvious to every thinking aud
intelligent mind, for on this de
pends the success iu farming. But
a good performance of a single op
eration or two docs not by any
means constitute the best farmer or
the best farming. The perfection of
any business consists not only in do
ing everything well, individually,
but in a proper adjustment and a
systematic arrangement of all the
parts so that they may not only bo
done well, but just at the proper
time and with an economical ex
penditure of time, labor aud money.
Everything must move on with
clock work regularity and precision,
especially during the busy season of
the year. This subject includes the
whole routine of farming in a col
lective view, as well as in all Us
separate details.
The first object in all undertak
ings of any magnitude should bo to
know the strength of tho purse. A
man who commences farming oper
ations on a scale of ten thousand
dollars, with a capital of only half
that sum, is often ruined before be
is aware of it, because his means are
wholly inadequate to his demands.
One of the greatest mistakes which
young farmers often make, in their
great anxiety for wealth and im
mense possessions, is not only in
purchasing more laud than they arc
able to pay for when they promise,
but in the actual expenditure of all
their means, leaving nothing to
commence farming with. And right
hero is where the great lack of prop
er farm management often comes in.
The faun is run for a long series of
years without being propel ly pro
vided with the necessary imple
ments to farm successfully. The
amount of stock upon the farm is
inadequate to the demands. The
farmer, in his great anxiety to make
every edge cut, fails to erect the
necessary buildings for the care
of what stock he has aud the saving
of his manure, and there is a waste
in this direction. From this heavy
drawback of the profits on his land,
and paying large sums of iutercsts,
the farmer is kept long in debt, the
burden not only disheartens him,
but prevents that enterprise and
energy that arc so essential to suc
cess in all business operations. A
close observer, in traveling through
the country, is often thus enabled to
judge very correctly from the ap
pearance of buildings and tho farms
in general, whether tho occupant is
out of debt, or whether he is strug
gling for existence with a heavy
debt crushing him down. The
great desideratum of every farmer
is to have the necessary means to
carry out any enterprise upon the
farm that may be undertaken with
promptness and dispatch. In En
gland, where the enormous rents
aud taxes compel the farmer to farm
well or not farm nt all, the thing
most indispensable is a heavy capi
tal to commence with. The mau
who rents a farm there must have
as much to stock it and commence
operations with as tho mau who
buys a farm of equal size in this
Stale. The result is he is enabled
to do everything at the right time
aud in the proper manner. The
farms there are kept in a much
higher state of cultivation than they
arc here. If they are not, the rent
ers could not pay such enormous
rents and live. The contents of
"Waldo's barrel" are much more
appreciated there than they are
here. "We can see the result of the
inadequate supply of the necessary
mcaus for successful farming, in
cvery-day life. Go whero you willj
.North, .hast, boutu or west, in
every State of the Union, among
every class aud nation of people,
and you find a great percentage of
farmers struggling for existence,
with the fates largely against them,
caused by over-reaching the mark at
the begiuning. Commence at the
bottom of the ladder and climb up,
rather than commence at the top and
fall should be the motto. Practi
cal Farmer,
Fanners must continually be on
their guard against swindlers. One
of the latest methods of swindling
is by persons pretending to be col
lecting ceusus statistics. Tables of
statistics of the amount of farm
crops of various kinds raised are
prepared aud tho farmer requested
to sign his name at some distance
below the letters to attest their cor
rectness. The swindler then writes
a note of $150 above the farmer's
name aud sells it at the first oppor
tunity. Every town will have a man
appoiuted to take the census and no
one will be requested to sign their
names to any papers. Farmers
should absolutely refuse to sign
their names to any kind of a paper
presented to them by stranger.

Another evidence of the richness
of the soil of Nebraska is found in
the fact of the number and great
growth of the native grasses, which
aflbrd tho very best pasturage from
early spring until the month of .No
vember. Those who have investi
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer than one
hundred and fifty specic9. Among
other varieties the blue-joint grows
everywhere in the Slate except on
the low bottom lands. In ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi
tions its, growth is from two and a
half to four feet, and often on culti
vated grounds it will grow to tho
height of seven and ten feet. On the
iip-iands, blue-joint grows in groat
abundance and is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo grass now in the
greatest quantitv is found in the
western half of the State. This, it is
claimed, disappears before cultiva
tion, but it is nature's provision of
food for grain-eating animals during
winter, when the animals are com
pelled to remain on the prairie, as it
retains its nutriment all the year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundantly in the State are
several varieties of bunch grass ; and
iu the low lands a native blue-grass,
and what is known as the spangle
top, which makes au excellent qual
ity of hay.
It was a question among the first
settlers of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully grown in the
State or not, but finding the wild
fruits, such as pluni3, gnapes, and
gooseberries growing in abundance,
it was thought that apple orchards
might be cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the earlier settlers in
the eastern part of the State planted
their orchards and their first plant
ings failed, but they persevered and
the result has been a complete suc
cess. Nebraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced in
other states. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va., one
hundred and forty-six varieties of
apples, fifteen of peaches, thirteen of
pears, one of plums, and one of
grapes, and was awarded the first
premium for the best collection of
fruit among all the States. The
fruits of Nebraska have been exhib
ited at Boston, Chicago and at the
International Exhibition in 1S70, the
judges awarding prizes for eight
varieties of pears, large, smooth and
well colored, and for two hundred
and sixty-three varieties of apples,
the latter prize being for the unusu
ally large numneroi linely growu
varieties. Instead of orchards flour
ishing only in tho eastern part of the
State and near the Missouri river,
they do well away out on the prairie
wherever nature's conditions of
growing fruit are observed.
