[?72 A WONDERFUL DiSMVERY. i IRiec&ntlv a London paper pointed out that there had come Tinder their notice a very wonderful remedy for Eczema & kindred dise&scs called "Ecxoline." The report, which happened to be true, stated that the Manufacturer had otfered to undertake to effect a cure for a given sutn, and if no cure was ejected, to return the whole amount so paid. This is, indeed, a generous oner, and all should avail themselves of it. Not only M this ECZOLINE a cure for ECZEMA, but stops all itching of CHI-LAINS, RINGWORM, SORES, and BAD "LEGS. RASHES, PIMPLES, SPOTS die away like magic, and the skin becomes soft and clear as a child's. Tho:,e who i,, -e used it for SCIATICA and RHEUMATISM say it docs a great deal of good, and when used on bj.d corns gives great relief, because of ts softening qualities. We should strongly advise everyone to obtain a pot of this truly wonderful Ointment, the prices being Is. ld. and 2s. 9d. T/te Agent for this Disti-ict is- W. LLOYD, 12, LAMMAS STREET, CARMARTHEN.

ASRtCULTURE. THE Cow SCORED.— To prevent a cow flicking her tail as she was milked, Paul Caffrey, a New Jersey dairyman tied a tump of lead on the offend- ing tail. He is now in hospital with a broken jaw. Lic;LK pen AN Am-crN. -Please inform me if one requires a licence for an air-gun or a small cartr)dge rine for target practice.—Marksman. [Under the Gun Licence Act, the term gun includes a firearm of any description, and an air- gun (section 2). A licence is therefore required for the use of an air-gun, hut an exemption is made in the case of any person in the naval, military, or volunteer services, or who is a re- tired volunteer, or hy any person in the constabu- lary or police force when using a gun on duty or in target practice. This exemption as regards a volunteer extends to the shooting at a target in the capacity of volunteer, and with a regulation ritle at any prize meeting, or on other occasions of the .same kind."j ENCOURAGING THE RURAL COTTAGERS.—In open- ing a flower show at Beoley. near Redditch. on Saturday week. Mr. Austin Chamberlain. Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, said that nobody who lived near great towns could fail to see how great a market was open there for the minor products of the country. Our farming industry had for many years been in anything but a good position. Corn growing had practically ceased to pay, and much was grown simply for the straw. More and more farmers had to turn their attention to dairying and meat raising, and in this they were subject to a certain amount of foreign competition. There was uo reason, however, why those who lived in the country should not supply to a much greater extent vegetables, fruit, and poultry to towns. He ventured to suggest to the committee that next yenr they shouid add to the attractions of their sho\v by a larger representation of the pro- duce which cottagers and dwellers in the country could raise, and he would be pit-used to pbce a prize at their disposal to allocate as they pleased for that purpose. TlIE EARL OF CAWDOR ANP HIS ScOTTTSH TEN- ANTRY.—We learn from the North British Ag- riculturist that on the invitat'on of the Earl and Countess of Cawdor, the tenantry and em- ployees on the Cawdor Estate attended a banquet on Friday tveek at Cawdor Castle. The weather was beautiful, and close on 500 attended the brill- iant function, which was held in a large building specia)iy erected for the occasion. Amongst those present were the Earl and Countess of C;'wdor, Lieut.-Colonel H. W. and Mrs. Campbell. Major Pierse and Ladv Mabel Piersc, Lady Muriel, Lady Edith, and Lady LilHan Campbell, Major Hon. Ralph Campbell, Hon Rev. Nigel and Mrs. Camp- bel!, Hon. Elizor Campbell. and Hon. Eric Camp- bell. In proposing the health of the tenantry and employees, his Lordship said it was a very gn'at plea.?U!'e tor him and the Countess to get old friands around them. The real link of their friendship had not been forged yesterday, but many generations ago. There were amongst them that day tenants iA-Iosp. families had been for gen- "ratious on the estate, who by their loyalty and hound them finally together. Mr. CampbeU. Viewneld. in reply, thanked Ins Lord- ship and Ladyship for the great kindness shown to them that day. The policy of the esteemed Cawdor Fhmily was, he said, and is Live, and let live." The health of the Earl and Countess of Cawdor and family was proposed hy Mr. Tulloch, Craighead, and responded to by the Earl. During the afternoon tea was served, the children on the estate were entertained, and sports were held. Later in the day dancing took place in the ban- queting buildings. MAiZE.—Kindly say what are the comparative feeding values—(1) for fattening stock, (2) for hard-worked horses—of Fhtt American, River Plate, fud Galatz maize?—Bell. [In replying to this ouery. we do not remember of ever seeing any separata analysts of the above-mentioned corns. AD three, we think, pass under the name of maize, but there is a din'erence in. them, as all millers and grinders prefer the nat American maize to auv of the others, as more and better meal is to be had from it. The Plate and Galatz corns are somewhat analogous. Analysis of maize generally runs about as follows: Water, 14..5; oil, G.5; albuminoids (nesh formers), 10.0; carbohy- drates (fnt formers). G2.0: fibre. 3.5; ash, 1.5; total. 100.0; total digestive matters run about 84.0 For fattening stock, we have frequently said that there was mere feeding in one shilling's worth of maize than any other article at the same money, but for feeding hard-working horses we draw the tine. It does well enough to mix in sma!! portions with other food.s, such as crushed oats. peas, beans, bran, cut hay, and straw, for horses that liave slow*work to do. It helps to keep them in nice, fair, sleeky order, but when maize is given in excess to horses it conduces to thick legs, shots of grease, weeds, and short of wind. About 4 to Clb. per day mixed with other foods, as already named, we think, would be quite sumcient for a good-sized cart horse.J RED WATER IN CATTLE.—About three weeks ago I had two milch cows taken suddenly with red water. They were grazing on the aftermath of a low-lying mossy meadow. The first cow noticed to be ailing seemed all right the night before when brought in to be milked, eating a sheaf of green corn and tares, and appearing quite healthy when let out. In the morning she was found standing in a corner of the meadow by herself in a very de- jected condition. looking very ill and weak. and we had great difficulty in getting her home. Her breathing was very quick, and she held her nose down close to the ground, when the blood could be seen running in the neck veins in quick jerks. There was practically no milk in the udder, and the urine was quite black and frothy when it fell on the ground. She was also very loose in her bowels. We gave her lib. of salts in a little thin grue!. with some ginger and sweet pepper, but she grew rapidly worse, and died the same night. The other cow was taken ill the fcllowincr day, but was not held quite so bad. We gave her a pnixtnre nf Epsom salts and common salt. half a pound p;ich in three pints of treacle gruel, with som" ground ginger and sweet pepper, and one pint cf linseed oil about six hours after. Next day we n:ave half the quantity of Epsom salts and common salt in grnd. when the cow gradually improved. She was not, however, so acutely at- tacked as the first one. My reason for troubling you is to ask if any of your readers can suggest r;r recommend any prevention for this annoying trouble, as we have it amongst our cattle more or year when thev are turned out on to this particular meadow tog in August. I have diO :lOticecl in the papers that there has been a m23tJn of the veterinarians in Dublin lately, and {his complaint was discussed. It would be pleas- in o kr*r'w if they have discovered any good pre- ventive.—Interested. [Tins complaint for genera- tions hack has been commonly known in various localities as "Red or Riack Water," and were, l;kc a great many more diseases, named hy our f forefathers aftor the most prominent symptoms. ) indeppudent of the nature of the malady. Red water is now also known under a variety of na.mes in different parts of the world. In Eng- land and Scotland it is usually termed Red and Black Water," also the technical names are oc- casionally used, which are Hæmaturia, Hmmo Albuminuria, and Bovis Hfemoglobinuria." Thes< three names are derived from the nature of the matters found in the urine. In Ireland it is called "Muir-ill." "Moor-ill," and "Murrain"; white in North America it is known as Texas Fever," "Tick Fever," and "Cattle Fever"; in the Argentine as La Tristuza." —and now gener- aHy considered bv experts to be due to the animals being attacked by ticks, which carry the infec- tion from one animal to another. At least this is said to be the case in foreign countries. Be this as it may, from our own experience of the disease we are inclined to think that "Red Water" in cattle in the British Isles, at least what we have seen in our own locality, must be somewhat differ- ent from that met with in foreign lands. If the malady be due to the contagion being carried by ticks, we must say that of all the cases which we have seen, and they have not been few. we never observed any ticks on the bodies of the ailing animals. It Is also very remarkable that the majority of our cases have been principally on poor, 'badly drained, shivery, graveHy pastures, and on sour. wet, low-lying, undrained mosses. where the herbage is of rank acid character; and yet these particular pastures have been situated in the midst of and surrounded by "N -ell -41 -ain,d and highly cultivated lands, on which cattle in good health and free from the complaint have been grazing, and only separated from the dis- eased animals by a smaii fence, over which the cattle cou)d smell and lick each other, and yet the disease did not extend to the cows grazing on the sound land. If the ticks were the rea) cause. It is strange that a fence should prevent them from conveying the malady to the other animals on the adjoining land. Our opinion has been, and still is, that Red Water in cattle is due to the want of saline elements In the blood, and like louping- ill or swing-back in sheep an epidemic or onzootic disease, i.e., affecting the animals grazing on certain soils In certain situations, and due in the first instance to a deficiency, want. or an excess of some essential element or elements in the soil necessary for true and healthy plant formation. which in turn affects the animals grazing thereon. causing a perverted action and deterioration of the blood, with disintegration or breaking up the red corpuscles in the blood, which pas.s through the excretary water tubes (uriniferous tubes) In th6 kidneys, which gives the red or dark colour to the urine. We have a vivid recollection of the disease being very rife some sixty years ago. and have frequently watched old men and their wives putting one pound of common salt into a woollen stocking leg, and baking the same on a hot cinder nre, then crushing the burnt salt on the stone scone and mixing it with half a gallon of milk, and horning It Into the ailing cattie. This was the great cure for Red Water In cows, and salt (without either the burning or the stocking) was a favourite remedy with the late Professor Dick. In 1860, when we commenced practice, the disease was very prevalent in the district, and had been for generations back. but it only occurred on grazing land such as we have already described. It. was common enough to see In the months of August and September ten and twelve cases In as many hours, but for about the last twenty-five years we have not seen more than a dozen cases altogether, all of w hich have been solitary. From the success attending the administration of the salt and water immediately animals were noticed to be ailing, and also from the knowledge of the chemical composition of the analysis of the ash of healthy blood, which is as follows Tribasic phos- phate of soda. 22.100 chloride of sodium (com- mon salt), ;')4.7G9: chloride of potassium, 4.416; sulphate of potash, 2.4G1 phosphate of time. 3.()3(i; phosphate of magnesia, 0.7<)9; peroxide of phosphate of iron, 10.770 tl., 98.921 we were in- duced to try the application of salt to the disease- producing pastures, and our nrst trial was in 1875 on a iow-lying mossy meadow, between two and three miles from the sea. This particular held had for generations back been noted as a hot-bed for. red water in cows. The result was that from that day to this not a single case of red water has been seen on the land. A subsequent dressing of about 6 cwt. to the acre five years after was given. Other pastures subject to the complaint were dressed, with the gratifying result that red water in cattle, once so rife, is now very conspicuous by its absence. From our experience, we again repeat salt has no equa) as a preventive of blood and parasitic diseases in cattle and sheep, such as hoose, scour, and black quarter in caives and stirks, splenic apoplexy (anthrax), red water in cattle, liver nuke, louping-ill. and swing-back in sheep whilst its presence in the blood (note the analysis) acts as a preventive against the small disease-producing germs gaining access to the body of the animal. Salt is the most natural, safest, and greatest antiseptic and germ destroyer we have, and from thirty years' splendid results from the application of salt to the land as weli as advocating its use in the foods of animals, we say that stock owners who suffer loss from these mala- dies have only themselves to blame. Salt is found very extensively in nature, is cheap, and readily applied. We, therefore, recommend "Interested" to dress his land with, say. 6 to 8 cwt. of crushed rock salt to the acre. If the land is not drained. get it done if possible, but in any case apply the salt.]
i THE WAR IN MANCHURIA. !
THE WAR IN MANCHURIA. It was reported in Friday's papers that the Japanese had occupied Liao-yang. The Japanese Legation on the previous night issued a despatch from Tokio, in which it was stated that at dawn that morning the Japanese Army Corps on the left tonk possession, by a fierce and daring assault, of the heights which the Russian right had occupied. Thereupon the Czar's troops in the south of Liao-yang commenced to retreat, The Japanese wore pursuing them. From Mukden it was announced that 10,000 Japanese were reported to be advancing from the north-east of that place. News reached St. Petersburg on Friday, that General Kuroki's force, with artillery, was crossing the Tai-t.se river on pontoons, the Cavalry utilising the ford. General SakbaroN, describing the nghting of Wednes- day, Slat ult., says that after having prepared for the assault with artillery fire the Japanese repeatedly attacked thelRussian positions. Some of the advanced fortifications passed i nto their hands after a stubborn defence. They were, however, each time re-captured at the pointof the bayonet. The Japanese losses, the General adds, must have been enormous those of the Russians were also considerable. Two of their generals were wounded. According to news published on Saturday, the capture of Liao-yang was doubtful, though the Japanese were rejoicing. It would appear that the beating down of the Russian defence on Kuropatkin's right was due to a. night surprise attack. The strong hilly position, over which the Russians had spent so much thought and preparation, and which they had so splendidly defended for three days, was lost by that want of precaution which has already cost the Russians so dearly. This once gained, the J apauee pressed vigorously forward, and the retreating Russian right had to move back on Liao-yaug. A Tokio telegram statea that the town was still in the hands of the enemy yesterday morning, so that the reports of its capture were premature. A Tientsin correspondent, telegraphing on Friday night, however, announced that it had been evacuated, and captured by the Japanese. While the Russian right wing had thus failed, the left appears to have held its ground. It was in many quarters on Friday erroneously assumed that the crob8* ing ¡of the Taitse river by Kuroki's forces necessarily meant the tnrning of the Russian left wing. The river, which news, from east to west, through Liao-yang, intersected the Rusamn front, andt the Russian left wing stretched along splendid positions northward from the river. Kuroki, after crossing the river well to the eastward of the Russian lines, would therefore have to turn to the west to attack them. The position then appears to be this Kuropatkin—his left still holding ita ground—was on Friday, slowly moving back hia right and centre to the north, fighting bitterly as the remorseless waves of the Japanese attack burled themselves upon him. His safety from absolute smash depended upon the rigidity of his left. If that should give way, if Kuroki with his splendid hundred, thousand warriors, now seasoned by their long and almost unparalled campaign, bhould break through and reach the railway, then nothing could avert a fearful calamity for the Russians. Communication with the! base at Mukden gone, hemmed in on three sides by the enemy, and no way out along the fourth side-the bloody alternative to surrender is almost unthinkable. The casualty lista in this battle of battles, which has now lasted uninterruptedly for five days, is still a matter of surmise, but the estimates given arc rising to a terrible total. Ten thousand on each side, a Teintsin correspondent declares, is the lowest of these estimates. One alarmist telegram puts the Russian losses atone at 27,000. Among the many wild reports which are circulating are the following The Russians were said to be fleeing panic-stricken, burning and laying waste, all the villages in their path, and Ringing away their riiles as they wont, 21,Of 0 of these weapons having been picked up by the Japanese. The news published on Saturday states that the gr<;at Liao-yang batt!e, which began on the pre- vious Monday was stilt going on on Sunday last, and that the Russians have been defeated is cer- tain. That is to say, that on Saturday night they had fatten back on the right, on the centre, and on the left. But it still remains an open ques- tion it' the generalship of Kuropatkin has not saved his army to nght another day. and if that has happened, the main object of the Japanese has for the time being failed. It was to Marshal Oyama's interest that the great battle should be ;Z fought, and that it should he a nght to a nnish- With this aim he made his frontal attack for the' purpose of engaging Kuropatkin's main foreps, while Kuroki was despatched across the Taitse to' til I. n, if turn, if possible, the Russian left nank. If Knr- oki coul d have done this while Kuropatkin was still held in battle at Liao-yang, then the Russians retreat would have been cut off, and their position would have been absolutely hopeless. It was oo the other hand, Kuropatkin's plan to hold li s ground against the general Japanese assault ag long as possible (shifting his reserve forces along.. his internal lines from point to point wherever they might most be needed), and. if the enemy proved too strong for him at any point, then to so manipulate his forces as to hold the enemy while the Russians moved hack along the railway. It. i.s too soon even yet to say that Kuropatkm's skill has succeeded, but the latest despatches to band seem to indicate that this is the case, that- though he has been beaten—he has been able to move hack his forces upon the railway which con- nects him with the base at Mukden. At all events Saturday night's Russian dispatches describe Kuropatkin's forces as being concentrated on the railway south of the junction at Yentai with the line whicli runs to the Yentai mines. The following telegrams were received at the Japanese Legation on Sunday Tokio. Sunday. 12.40 p.m. Marshal Oyama reports that at 9 p.m. on 3rd Sept. the central and left of our arm ies were con- tinuing their attack on the enemy on the south and west side of Liao-yang. All the buildings near the railway station, apparently godowns,. were burnt on Saturday." '1.30 p.m. Marsha! Oyama reports that after the battles on Saturday night and Sunday morning Liao- yang fell entirely into our hands." The following telegram, dated September 3rd, has been received from General Kuropatkin :— Last night the enemy attacked and seized most of the "ositions occupied by out troops at Sy-kwan-tnn. Those of our troops which held thase positions retired on the position he'd by the rearguard between the villages of Shan-sun-tun and Shi-tshan-za. During the night also the 1st Siberian Army Corps, which had sustained heavy losses during the last five days, and which was in danger of hav- ing its nank turned by the enemy's superior forces retired several kilometres to the west. In these circumstances I ordered Liao-yang to be evacuated, and the troops to retire north- ward." According to Monday's papers the Japanese victory at Liao-yang was absolute and complete. The town is now occupied by the troops under Gen Oyama, and the Russians, disorganised and die- heartened, are reconcentrating their forces in the vicinity of the Yen-tai Colliery, twelve miles north east of Liao-yang. Here another great battle will probably be fought. If so. it will be the bloodiest of the war. Opposing him on the road to Mukden is General Kuroki. with a force that probably numbers 150.000 men, and delay only strengthens tilp barrier already erected on the Russian line of retreat. The Russians have suffered severely in their desperate dash northwards. The ill-fated Stackelberg and his corps of 25,000 men, who fared so badly at Telissu, were cut off to the north west of Liao-yang. but. apparently, succeeded in aft4,rwards rejoining the main army. At what cost, however, is not yet known. After a week of heavy fighting there seems to have been a lult in the operations on Sunday, although the Jap- anese, by concealing themselves in the long kaolin, (millet), and stealthily creeping up to the retreat- ing Russians, managed to innict what General Kuropatkin calls "murderous results." One de- tachment alone lost 1,500 men, or half the total number. There is not much interesting war newa in Tue"day'S papers beyond thia It has been ascertained definitely that General Kuropatkin has succeeded in escaping from the attempt of Marshal Oyama to envelop him. and is now retreating north to Mukden. General Kuroki'e arm v has ceased its attack on the retreating Russians, and is now making for Mukden, in the hope of intercept- ing Kuropatkin. Another general as"ault on Port- Arthur is said to have taken place from the 27th to the Slat of August, and to have ended in a second rppul-o of the besiegers. A Chc-foo telegram from Renter's special correspondent aayn the Japanese expect the siege to la$t two months more. The following telegrams were published on Wednes- day :— St. Petersburg, Tuesday. Gen. Kuropatkin telegraphs to the Tsar, under dat& 5th Sept.:—"To-du.y .thS?pt.. the army, advancing north, extricated itself from the dangerous situation in which it found itself being threatened by the enemy, and having a narrow front. The enemy throughout the day cannonaded the rearguards of our front and left flank columns, especially the latter, but without much effect. We lost about 10!' men to-day. —Reuter. Yentai (via Mukden), 5th Sept. Heavy ngh'ing ooc 'rred to the north-east of this place to-day. The Japanese are pressing northwards along the ridgea ea.st of the railway. Several skir- mishes have occurred within 20 miles south-east of Mukden. The Russians are holding General Kuroki in. check while the Russian Liao-yang army is proceedings northward8.—Router Special. St. Petersburg, Tuesday. It was reported at a late hour last night that. General Kuropatkin'a rearguard bad been almost annihilated, and that his main army was in imminent danger of being surrounded. A high Russian personage has made the following communication to the Paris Temps.' "In regard to the propo-als for peace and the pro- posals for intervention on the part of the Powers, 1 request you to note my statement most carefuHy, as I can assure you in a of itA ness. It can be verified by the Russian diplomatists themselves. Russia will not take the fir>,t step towards the opening of negotiations with a view to the con- clusion of peace with Japan. Moreover, she will accept no proposals for intervention even if they are made by the Powers which are most in sympathy with her, and of which she is happy to call herself the friend. This is an expression of the Em,sian national seiitiment, and is at the same time the unalterable decision of the Government of his Maje-ty the T.1r."

TRE DENKFH\S OF CI:XCE. It is seldom that any discovery of science is such as \vill benefit all clauses of people. Some of the greatest discoveries of the age, while they have proved directly beneficial to thousands, have also, at )east for a time, injured other thousands. Even some of the best medicinal preparations. however much they may do to remove one class oi disease, or suit some constitutions, at the same time either deepen the hold of another disease, or leave it entirely untouched, or if they benefit one class of patients, they may Inj ure another. Now the great need of the age is some scientific- ally arranged preparation which will cope effectu- ally with the prevalent diseases or this country, which will be certain to do good when fairly tried, which will be equally adapted to the needs of the merchant and the workman, the professional man, and he who wins his bread by the sweat of his brow, the student, the clerk, the factory hand, the miner, and the roadside labourer. It should be. too, such a preparation as contains no injuri- ous ingredients, and which may be taken wit)) im- punity by the weakly child, or the delicate lady, as well as by the stronger constituted man. Such a. discovery would deserve to be called The Per- fection of Medicinal Preparations, and would in- deed be an Invaluable Boon to Suffering Human- ity. Now this much-needed boon has been found, has been tried, has been proved, and wherever proved, it has been found satisfactory. We refer to Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, The Vege- table Tonic, which when once tried, has been al- ways recommended, and has proved successful when all other medicine has failed to give relief, and we may say further, that it. has proved per- manently beneficial, when other preparations at I)e-t, onlv gave temporary relief. It is strongly re- commended as The Best Remedy of The Age for Indigestion in its different forms, such as Sick Headache, Pains in the Side. Giddiness. Loss of Appedte. also for Nervousness and Nervous Dis- orders. Sleeplessness, Neuralgia. Lew Spirits, and all kinds of weakness. It has often proved very benefida! to persons suffering from great Weak- ness. either arter an illness, long confinement to i)t-venti!ated rooms, or any other cause. It strikes at thp source of the Disease, removing the cau.se of the illness, :md strengthens those parts. of the system which have been weakened by it, fnd therefore most liable to colds and other ail- ments.
