tains the Great Healing Elements of
Plants in their Essential Form as OBJ
tained by DistilIaton.

Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force,
stands next to Consumption, and is closely allied
to it, for in certain constitutions the transition from
one to the other is only question of time. 1t is
therefore singular thing that those afflicted with
1t should not make it the object of their lives to rid
themselves of it. single bottle of any remedy
cannot in the chronic stage, effect cure, even
bring the system under Its influence fully. In many
such cases the bones and cartilage of the are
eaten away, the organs of hearing, of seeing, and
of tasting, affected as to be rendered useless,
the uvula so elongated and n1amed as to produce
constant and distressing cough. The return to
health must necessarily be slow, under the most
favorable circumstances when SO seriously afliict-
ed; but as the evidence OF its great value daily
comes to hand, we become more and more satisfied
that there does not exist case of Catarrh that
not be cured by judicious and persistent use of
Sanfords Radical Cure for Catarrh. The relief in
every case obtained from the first dose is indca-
ton of what it will do when the system is brought

affords a splendid place for composing
manure with the help of hogs, and is also
a fne place for storage. It is, however,
open to objection on the ground that the
air which the cattle are obliged to breathe
is contaminated and that it is very I'M
healthy for hogs. I am in favor of
having a wide shed in connection with
the stables in which compost material
and manure can be stored. Instead
of throwing the manure out of doors, as
teO many farmers do, TO lie under the
caves and be soaked and leached by all
the rains which fall upon the roof as well
as the heap, it should be thrown directly
into this shed, which should be built
against the stable, thus forming a large
room behind the COWS, but separated
from it by being boarded in the usual
manner. This shed should run the
whole length of the stables, but may be
open at each end so a team can pass
| through, and there should be dOOrways
| for cattle to pass in and out. For ma
teIial like dry muck the best of any,
thing. 1t is good absorbent and by its
use much of the liquid manure can be
saved. 1t Is also in itself considered of
value for application to uplands. When
muck can not be obtained I would
use dry loan or sand. In connec-
ton with either of these materials
straw and course hay may be freely
employed. The muck or other dirt should
be obtained in the summer, if possible,
and should bequite dry when drawn to
the shed. 1t may be thrown in large
heaps whereit will be convenient to throw
into the stables and still not be too much
in the way of the manure. This dirt
hould be used for bedding the COWS and
horses every day. In this manner the
foreign material will be evenly dis
tributed through the whole mass, much
of the liquid manure will be saved, and
the whole mass will be kept uninjured by
the weather. Like all other plans which
promise improvement over existing
methods, this will involve some expense
make some trouble, and take some time
but it seems to me that the advantage
which it offers are sufficient to Llake it
great object for the farmer to give it
trial. The better the manure, and tn
more of it, the better will be the crop
and the larger will be the percentage 0
profit which they will pay on the cost o
