York, says "More adults are carried off
in thi country by chronic kidney dis
ease than by any other one malady ex-
cept consumption" The late DIR. bio
Lewis IN speaking of Warmers Safe Cure,
said over his own signature off found
myself the victim Of serious kidney
trouble, would use your preparation"
Plan well now, and carefully, for ev-
cry part of the spring and summers
work, not in general way, but in detail,
80 that when the time for action comes,
there will be no hesitancy, no uncertain,
hap-hazlrd performance. Turn each
proposed operation over and over in your
own mind now, and see If there is not
some defect, it there is not some bet er
way. Talk with others. Read every
thing that will throw ray of light upon
the subject. Bave you the best and
most profitable implements Is there
not something which will prepare the
soil better or more perfectly?
1t is time that the cleo men have ore
good point to make in this fight. and that
is that lad'e packed butter ranks in ma,
ket quo atoms the same as Oleomarga-
rine, and both are usually at the foot of
the list, so that IN the face of he matter
it does look unfair to give one the ad
vantage of using artificial coloring while
denying it to the other, but on principle
the fact is that oleOmargarine has no
business on the list at all. 1t is no more
butter than it is eggs and cheese, and
nothing tut the cool, calm gall Cf the
makers of IT even accomplished the ira
versity on common sense of allowing II
to get into such company.-American

For farmers in general the Sou hdown
is perhaps the most pI ofitable sheep, be-
cause It's mutton is of a superior qualt
and brings so high price in the market,
that these sheep can be profitably reared
for meat alone, without reference to the
fleece. But there is a good profit also in
the wool, which stands next in fineness
to that of the Merino. and the fibre is so
strong that for some kinds of cloth it is
preferred by the manufacturer TO all
other sorts, These sheep are hardy ana
so active that they thrive well even on
the short pas ures of lilly land. Thou.
sands of them ought to be rapidly I'M
ported for the increase of our f0cks.-

The cuItivator of the smallest farm
falls far below his privilege if he does
not have constantly at hand at least two
or three of the best agricultural urnals
to be had, and read them thoroughly
and systematically. They bring to HIM
the thoughts and experiences of many
others. their successes and failures. He
may cri,icise and find fault with what
they say, but even this exercise will de
velop his own thoughts, and lead his
mind into new channels, and the result
cannot but he useful. A few dollars ex-
pended in papers are sure to return many
fold their expense TO the owner Of even
small farm. From long and wide ob
servation, we can confidently assure that
1t will pay.
The Duchess is one of the largest pears
grown. Mr.. Tapley OF Revere some
years ago sent bushe to Boston market
which counted only sixty-five, and re-
ports two barrels sent from New York
State by Mr.. YeomaDs that required
but 115 for barrel. HIS orchard con
tanned ten acres of Duchess pears and
forty acres of Baldwin apples, and all
the trees were trimmed and handled for
producing extra large fruit, In the
early days of the Duchess pear Mr.. Tap
ley received $9U for nine bushels sold in
Boston. But it is an uncertain bearer
on ordinary land and usually worthless
except on ounce roots and in a very
rich clay soil. The standard of quality
in pears as in butter has been raised a
good deal within few years so that or
binary goods sell at low figures. The
Vicar pear was once profitable but the
Anjou and cold storage has nearly drlv-
en- 1t out OF market.
