No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trihing or unconscious ex-
posture, is often but the beginning Of fatal
sickness. AYER's CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lang diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

to avail themselves of cheap insurance
in sound stock companies before rates

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Joseph E. Badger, Jr., of Frank
fort, Kan, admits writing dime nov
els at the rate of about one a week,
for which he gets from 500 to 5000
each. His qualifications consist of
some personal frontier experiences
and the fact that he is, as he puts it
himself, ga pretty good liar
Women servants in Prussia and
Alsace-Leraine who stay in one fami-
ly 40 years, get gold cross and dl-
ploma from the German Empress, and
in seven years no less than 1927 per-
sons have won the distinction.
There are supposed to be about
100000 species in the animal king
dom. Of beetles alone over 1000
species are known, and the whole
number of insects is set at 100000.
Of the higher animals, there are 1900
mammals, 1900 birds, and 1000 rep
tiles and 10000 fishes.
Joe Howard was hanged at Colum-
bia, S. c., Friday for the murder of

Texas bankers who do business
with the stockmen say that the "fush
times" are nearly ended. The profits
of cattle raising have been very large
in the last few years and the banks
have charged two per cent. month
for money and had practically no
losses, so that the Dallas National
made $25, 700 on a capital of $780,
900 in the first five months of its ex-
istence, the City National, of the
same place, 40 per cent. last year,
and so on; but the rate is now only
Is per cent. year, and the abun-
dance of northern capital coming in
will soon reduce that. The cattle
men are very punctual in making pay
ments, endorse freely for each other
and hang together like brothers, and
are reckoned the best of customers.
To all appearance the Mississippi
valley has the beginning of repetis
ton of the great disaster Of 1882.
The flood between Cairo and Vicks-
burg is not so great now as then, but
immense quantities of water are pour
ing down from the north, especially
in the western tributaries, and al
ready the levees of Louisiana are
practically wrecked from one end Of
the State to the other. The breaks
are mostly on the western side, as
usually happens, and the danger in
front of New Orleans seems to be di-
minished, but the great sugar raising
section through the southwestern part
of the State is already badly flooded
with the certainty of worse to come
The money loss must amount to many
millions of dollars, and there is con
siderable human suffering from colo
and hunger, and a few lives lost
And the moral of it all is still the old
one, that levees are good until the
flood comes.

PoTAToEs.-Nearly every farmer
now uses phosphate in the hill or drill
for his crop, even when he has an
abundance of barn-yard manure at
hand. Two to four hundred pounds
of good phosphate used in this way
largely increases the crop, makes the
potatoes smoother and of much bet
ter quality, and they are much less
likely to rot than when raised on ma
Eure alone.
H. III. Churchill, of Elmore, VT,
gives his experience with phosphate
on potatoes as follows:

Phosphate on potatoes. l left enc row
