.Housekeepern orHeal,h.

The liver being gre theat depurating
or blood cleansing organ OF the system
set this great "housekeeper of our
health" at work, and the foul corrup-
tions which gender in the blood, and
rot out, as it were, the machinery OF
life, are gradually expelled from the
system. For this purpose DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery with very
small daily doses of DIR. Pierce's Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently
the articles needed. They cure every
kind OF humor from the worst scrofula
to the common pimple, blotch or erup-
tion. Great eating ulcers kindly heal
under their mighly curative influence.
Virulent blood poisons that lurk IN the
system are by them robbed of their ter
rors, and by their persevering and
somewhat protracted use the most
tainted systems may be completely re-
novated and built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tumors and swellings dwindle
away and disappear under the influence
of these great resolvents.
DOCTORS COULDN'T HELP HIM.
MEIssvILLE, Morgan Co., o, March 2iih. ls72.
Dear DR.. PIERCE:
When was II or 10 years of age
took what is called Kings Evil, and by
constant doctoring it would heal in one
place and break out in another. 1t also
broke out in-my left ear. 1 first found
your name in the Christian AdUocate,
and sent 10 miles for the first bottle,
which did me more good than all other
medicines ever used. L am % years
old and doctored with five doctors, and
not one of them helped me so much as
your bottle of Discovery. l have got
well and able to do a good days work.
10 JOHN A. Wilson.

Stock FOR MANURE.-In the vicinity
of large cities it has become prevalent
idea that it will not pay to raise cattle.
The ease with which they can be
brought from the West by rail, and the
comparative low price of wheat In the
regular trade way, has operated largely
to produce the idea.
But experience shows that this Is
wrong. 1t is almost impossible at a
little distance from home to keep up
the fertility of the soil without manure,
and without manure the farm soon runs
down, and then farming rapidly becomes
a ''poor trade" The only way to keep
up this fertility in these cases Is by
keeping a fair amount of stock to eat up
waste and make manure TO enrich the
soil. Even though the stock brings
little more than their first cost, with
labor and food added, still in the in
creased fertilizing material viii good
profits be found.
We have a young friend who pur-
chased farm about twenty miles from
Philadelphia some three years ago. He
saw few cows on neighboring farms !;
but started with dozen of these and
four horses, He was soon told that sort
of thing would not answer; the cattle
would soon eat their heads of, and he
would soon ''go to the dogs" But he
kept on In his course, increasing his
stock, till last fall he raised SIX hundred
bushels of turnips to feed them with,
the whole of which will be fed on the
ground, besides the regular food; and
to-day he is making more money from
his farm than perhaps any one for miles
around. While many are selling their
farms and moving away, because farm
ing does mot pay" he does not care
how many go, as the lessened number
is all the better for him.
His example, however, is having n
beneficial influence on those who sur
rouAd him. Many who had but three
or four when he first went there, now
have q dozen cows and the fertility of
most farms has been increased by the
greater number. Crops have thus been
larger, the labor has been ne more,
while profits have been almost doubled.
OF course, increased number of COWS
make butter, making hard work some
thing of a necessity; and where this
falls on the female portion of the family,
in the present condition of the labor
market, 1t bears rather hard on them.
But butter factories are becoming COM
mon, and where this can be done, the
trouble is little more than for any other
crop.

The RAILWAYS OF GREAT BRITAIN
The leading features of the railway
system of the United Kingdom, at the
end of 1872, may be thus summarized ::
A total sum of S2,S45, 236, 730 had been
expended on Is, S1i miles of railway. or
nearly $50, 600 per mile. There were
10, 933 locomotive engines, or about /
to every of mile and 81, S99 vehi
cles, or about 81 per mile, besides the
wagons of traders and companies other
than railway companies. By the run
ming of trains for 100, $40, 719 miles,
S256, 520, $40 were received during the
year, of which Sl25, 26l, ,9l5 were ex-
pended in working and maintenance,
and Sl2S, 25S, ,655 remained as net profit,
so that as nearly as possible one half
the gross receipts were expended IN
earning them. There were 422, S14, SD
passenger journeys, besides 272.342
season ticket holders and l19, ,302, 121
tuns of goods and minerals were con-
veyed. The average rate of dividend
on ordinary capital was II per cent,
and upon the total capital 95 per cent,
including S164, 507, $50 of ordinary cap
ital, part of S212, 9l3, 135 of total capital,
which received no interest or dividend.
The average cost of working each train
was 6i 6i cents, per mile, and the
average receipt from each train was 129
II cents per mile; SO that the average
net profit from each train was 4 5S cents
per mile: whils the total cost of work
ing was SS, 10 per mile, and sic, 220 per
mile was received.
