1t is not "in the air, Infectious

among the apparently healthy than

Pneumonia, We are told, is invited
by a certain condition Of the system,
indicated if one has occasional chilla
and fevers, a tendency to coldsin the
throat and lungs, rheumatic and
neuralgic pains, extreme tired feel
ings, short breath and pleuritic
stitches in the side, loss Of appetite,
backache, nervous unrest, 1scalding
sensations, or scant and discolored
fluids, heart Autterings, sour stomach,
distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot
and dry skin, loss of strength and vi.

pneumonia was secondary disorder,
the exposure and cold being simply
the agent which develops the disease

cause the kidneys have been but

pneumonia is but an early Indication
Of a Briglt's diseased condition. This

smallest portion !ar butter. English
butter is scarce, dear, unequal
in quality, and badly packed
The great houses Of London much
prefer to buy fresh French butter to
their national produce. They say
that it is superior to it, never varies
in quality, can always berelied npon'
and is admirably packed. Then the
English farmer wants TO have his
baskets or casesreturned, Which gives
a lot of trouble to the shopkeepers,
while the Frenchman does not. Messrs.
Hudson OF Ludgate Hill, one of the
biggest firms for dairy produce in this
city, and from whom I obtain very
valuable information, relieve the
French producers Of about a tons OF
butter weekly, but never invest IN
the English commodity. Holland
exports here an enormous amount OF
butterine, composed, as every one
knows, Of the finest and sweetest por-
tious Of suet from freshly slaughtered
cattle, mixed and churned with a
proportion of butter milk, and best
vegetable oil. This is a profitable
t,ad. Since 1888. when Holland

Corn on Pine Lands.

The late David Dickson, Of Geor.

an eminen'ly successful Southern ag'

ing corn on the thin pine lands Of the
South could be impressed upon the
people he would have left each town
ship in the region Of the long leaved
pine a richer legacy than he left

His plan summarized was deep pre-
paraticu, not less than twenty.one
square feet to the hill, and rapid
shallow cultivation, with early laying

it is corn planting time, I send you
memorandum Of crop made last
year on thin land within cannon
shot of your office. The yield wa'
about what the United States Agri
cultural Reports show to be the aver
age yield Of the United States, bu
enscting that corn is chiefly made
upon stiff lands, when twenty acres

plished, while on our high lands forty
acres is not too much for such cult

Of this: the total length of the streets

enough to link the metropolis through

Southern extremity of India. In
this termless and living line calls for
her daily food population of 4.769,,

persons per annum. Ten railway
