The kidneys exercise most impor-
tant functions, which are so weari-
some that they tax to the utmost the
strength and endurance Of these busy
little organs. Every breath, every
pulsation of the heart, every move
ment of limb, every thought, makes
waste and pecessitates the develope-
ment of new atoms. The used up
particles in the blood are sifted from
it and dissolved in watery fluid by
the kidneys, which then discharge
this fluid into the bladder. A train
of disasters to the system would fol-
low if these "ashes" SO to speak, were
not thoroughly strained off and dis
charged. This is the case when the
kidneys become inactive. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, by restoring their
activity, not only keeps open most
important outlet for impurities, but
prevents diseases of the kidneys
themselves, which when inert be-
come liable to fall prey to diabetes,
Bright's disease, nephistis albumenu-
ria, and other maladies specially in
cident to them, which, although not
specially rapid in its progression are
particularly obstinate and fatal.

HORACE GGEGLEY's BARN.

Horace Greeley Was not only d successful
editor, but 4 fair farmer. A few years be-
tore his death he wrote a description Of his
barn, which will be read with interest, no
doubt, and, perhaps, with profit, at this
time:

THl POULTRY YARD.
POULTRY ON A LARGE SCALE.

Like everything else, poultry requires to-
have common sense used in its management.
There is common sense in a few hens being
kept by any man living in city and having
a small yard ut the back OF his house, where
perhaps he has u stable with Il pair OF
horses; tut there would be folly in his hav-
ing great numbers. There is good common
sense in having fine lot of fowls running
around every farm homestead, but none in
keeping so many as to bring OH disease.
There would be common sense III placing
|. 900 hens in families of so over 200 acres,
giving. them full liberty range where they
pleased, and having their roosts so con-
structed that yoke OF oxen Or pair OF
horses could be hitchel to them and haul
them to new site when crops growing
near required the absence of the poultry, or
when a coop had been Il good while in one
place, and the surroundings were becoming
too much saturated with the manure. On
large farm with springs and running
streams Of water, 10000 might be kept by
perseyering attention il moving When nee
essary, and by plowing some ground all the
| while near the fouls, and also by planting
patches Of rye in September to give them
green food through the winter, which would
be available whenever the snow is not lying
thereon But it would be folly for 1000 or
only 1000 to be kept confined upon few
acres, and expect anything but disaster
With ample range, fowls will be healthy in
small families, and require little besides
what they will find by foraging, at the same
time they will lay eggs enough to make s:
Der hen: but confine them Oh a few acres
and they will eat double Of purchased food
and lay not more than 75 cents worth o
eggs per head in proportion to the close
conference.-the
