A QUERY.

What Subscriber" Would Like - Know
We rave recently received letter from
one OF our well known subscribers upon q
subject which we prefer to ublish for the
pcrusA of our readers, anticipating that in
SO doing some one will relieve Us Of the re-
sponsibility Of answering Subscribers"
questions. Here is the letter:
T" Uv De " kdNOr:-For several years past
I have been the recipient Of several PAM
phlets issaed from time to time by 4essrs.
H. II. Warner & Co., Of Rochester, N. T.,
which, in addition to containing an extern
sivc treatise upon kidney disease, IT'S ORR
gin, usual symptoms and growth, also in
Guides numerous tes;imc malls from parties
whose facsimile signatures are attached
thereto, attesting the statement that they
have been individually relieved by tho use
OF Warmers Safe Cure, which is prepared
by the above hrm, for the use OF persons
so afflicted. Now, Mr.. Editor, would like
to know il the statements made by those
parties who testify TO the great good which
Warmers Safe Cure has done them, can
be relied upon. They seem honest enough
from the way they read. "Warner's Safe
Cure saved my life after the doctors had
given me Up" says John Doherty, l33 n.
Main street, Concord, N. II. ~ was given
up 10 die with Bright's Disease Of tho KID
aeys. The doctors said they could do
nothing for me. A friend advised mo to
take Warmers Safe Cure, and my family
consider mo as given back from tho
grave" says Mrs. Carrie A. Frye, OF Wath-
ena, Kas. DR.. L. b. Rice, Of Hanover c.
L., Va, says that warner's Safe Cure
cured him Of Bright's Disease"
Each pamphlet which l have received
contains hundred or more testimonials,
and the same one does not appear in more
than one pamphlet, 50 it SCENE that there
are o good many who are being helped by
that remedy.
It strikes me that there - q good deal OF
sense in the claim which those parties
make that the doctors are treating too
many persons for wrong causes, and that
Oftentimes, people are treated for consunp-
ton, BRAN, heart and nervous diseases,
when they are suffering from kidney dis
case which should be treated, a. they say,
by the use Of " arner's Safe Cure, and as o
result, when disease is first removed there
from, that which is supposed TO be disease
in the lungs or other organs. will disappear.
Many Of my neighbors tell me that this
remedy has done much good for them
more good than their doctors. II kidney
disease is the real cause of SO many other
diseases why, Mr.. Editor, don't the people
who are afflicted with sickness, insist upon .
moro careful inquiry being made, IN order
that tho true cause may be ascerta,ned, and
the proper treatment givenr

a System Uader which Dsirying Can be
Made Profitable.
The advantages Of soiling a. q method
Of feeding cows economically and profit
ably deserve better study and more at
tention than is given to them by the
persons most interested. Having prac-
ticed this mode Of feeding cows in the
dairy upon land costing from so to
$50 per acre during more than 25
years, the writer can speak with some
authority derived from experience on
this subject It Il q misfortune that
this useful practice is ''sat down upon"
SO to speak. by farmers. because it was
first described and advocated in book
('Quincy on Selling Cattle') written
by farmer Of Massachusetts, and the
neglect with which it Is 50 COM
monty treated is doubtless due to
the still-prevailing prejudice against
so called ''boOk farming" As long
ago ms 1865 the writer succeeded in
feeding IL cows the whole year on the
produce Of IA acres Of land by means OF
a succession OF forage crops grown con-
tinuously through the season, and
. small plot not much over two
acres. Of mangels for winter feeding
with the surplus Of the summer fodder
A large part Of the land produced three
crops in the year. and manure enough
was made from the IL cows to 60 over
the whole fourteen acres.
As q counterpart Of soiling should 60
the making Of large quantity OF ma
nure. As the cows are stabbed more or
less every day in the year. and for the
other time are kept In . yard. every
particle Of manure made. solid or
liquid. can be saved. and a very large
quantity Of litter can be worked up into
compost In this way. by the use OF
leaves gathered from q wood lot cleared
OF brush SO that q horse rake can be
used to collect them, with dry swamp
muck and other useful materials, one
COW in the year can be made to fur
nish 10 loads of excellent manure. and
the land be kept in the highest state OF
fertility. There is no chance for weeds
when land is plowed and cropped three
times in . year. and the result is that
the soil is brought up TO the most pro-
ductive condition. With ensilage,
which with this system affords succu-
lent green fodder the year round, it is
possible to bring up the average yield
Of herd of good cows to 800 pounds OF
butter in the year. As q cow under
this system can be kept for an actual
cost of less than go year. the profit
is evident. Y. Timea
