Pneumonia is noticed this spring

| pneumonia" being a common form of

Heavy soils are always benefited
| by an addition of sand. Leaf mould

up free from lump in little water, put
it in the molasses and let boil two or

Many a mar has broken his back
and lost his heart on q poor farm
which he has suffered to run down by
bad management. He has spread his
labor and capital over ono hundred
acres, when by confining himself to
twenty-five or thirty he might have be-
come happy and rich. The way to re-
pair such an error is to begin with ono
field and get that into good condition,
and let the rest lie, and so go on
through the farm. One rich field will
then make it easy to enrich another or
two; and while the beginning is slow,
it is downhill work, and as the end is
nearly reached progress is fast and
easy.-N. Y. Times.
