hand, the small farmers, depending mainly on their own labor with limited capital and less machinery, are not making comfortable subsistence, but are running behind, and must go under, and that further reduction in the market price for food products must hasten their end.
 The development of the large farm interest is by no means confined to Kansas, Minnesota, and Dakota The sections covered in my tour are but three points where these develop ments have been the most recent as we'll as of great extent. In Texas there has been a movement in the same direction of perhaps unparalleled magnitude.
 California is noted for it's great farms of tens of thous .nds of acres and the great extent of it's area cultivated by tenantry. Throughout the whole region of that portion of our Wes- tern country which was not cursed by the ex- istence of slavery there has, within the present decade, been an alarming increase in the num- Der of great land d-holders, who, with all the power of capital and cheap labor, have enter ed into deadly competition with the small farmer. Before the census of 1870 had been taken,s the movement had already begun throughout all the free States as shown by the following table, in which are presented first, the number of farms of 1000 acres and upwards in the non -slaveholding States west of Ohio, in the years 1860 and 1870; and second, the number of farms of the same char acter Tn the non-slaveholding States east of Ohio, and including that State, as shown by the census reports for 1870.

Catarrh al POISON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Ca- tarrh. explains the following important facts: l. That Catarrhal Colds become a finally constitutional.
 ?. That. being Constitutional, the infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies: : . +-E
 3. That impurities in the nostrils. are necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison ing tine Digestive, Respiratory and Genito- urinary organs.
 .,a 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mucous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea. and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations. and Insoluble SSnufs, cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the or gans named.
 6, That an antidote for Catarrh must possess m inoculative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located. m Based upon these plain theories, Dr. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible.
