Starvation in the States.

l-arinei-9 JEatl«gf Hor»« 1fl*«li

"Reports from some of the Westers States, notably from Nebraska, give details of terrible destitution and sufferings over a large area of the country. In Nebraska one-third of the area of the State has suffered from drought, and the neighboring State of Kansas is neariy as bad. In the region affected hundreds, if not thousands, of families are destitute of provisions of every kind and most of them are destitute of fuel. Clothing and provisions have been contributed from the great cities, but they have not boen in sufficient quantities The prospects now are that many will starve to death within the rext two months unless more relief comes. The condition of suffering has been conse quent upon the total failure of crops in 1890, their partial failure in 1893, and their total failure in 1894. These failures left all parts of the State In a very bad condition, and especially the newpst parts, which were put under cultivation only a few years ago, having been previously used as grazing regions. Heart-rending stories come from part of the State. Farmers who had no immediate funds borrowed money on their land to put in a crop last year. As nothing at all was raised they are absolutely destitute and with out resource. Children are unable to go to school because of insufficient clothing and shoos. Many of the farmers have slanghtered their oxen ar.d cows for food, and in several instances they have slaughtered their horses for the same purpose. At the distributions of food, most of the people who apply are gaunt and thin and evidently half starved. Alto gether, the suffering from the drought has been more severe and wider spread than has been known in the country for a long time."

Be got bo bad thtf I bad to lay bim up. No mVter wha' I gave bim he kept loosing oonditiou and bfoame co weak that he oould goarcely stand. I carefuly followed tbe direc tions on tbe bottles and Bbortly after gett ing tbe list botUe be passed bots, and at once bejmn to mend, and in a few days was &' for H* work. I>m oc fid nt only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly rccommertd i% bolievitigit bas no equal.— William Stkingfellow. Liunston, August 18,1894 Mr HeseHine,—Sir, I think it ia only right that I ebouli tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied wi'h Walker's Bot Fly Bemedies I got from you. After set ing the state of tbe stomaoh of my borffl that died, I beoame alarmed about the rest of my stock as they all looked bad, I drenched eighN following oarefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I bad, I beU?ve it to be tbe only safe and e«rtiin cure for the raftering of horses Tames Lemon Asbburton Forkß, March 1, 1894 Mr J Heseltine. Sir—l am very glad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Bemedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ailing for some days, his cost got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad oough ; and was scarcely able to walk about; we quite ezpeoted he would die. I heard a good d6al about Walker's Bot Fly Remediee, and gave it with tbe most satisfactory resu'ts, and shortly after be gU tbe last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a ruedioine unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidence to all horse owners, as the best horse remedy in the market. Edward Oobbetx Greenwood Farm, I Soulhbridge, August 2, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Bemedies; One ol my best horses be oame very bad; the skin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, ahd got low in condition Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became un able to lift his feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stab'e I gave him your Bemedies, acd tan treatment you pre eoribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at bis work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You oan use this as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1804 Mr Walker. Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Heseltine, your egeat, was a wonderful success, I bad four horsas seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous, I strictly followed the dircotioos given and in a week tbe horses were out of danger and recovering; rapidly I drenched two more in February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stewart Mr Cross. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching borne be was dead. This season ono took bad, also Bhowing the symptoms. He gave the Remedy, and the second day after, the horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well.
