Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocaion
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter defile the breath
and rots away the delicate machinery of smell,
taste and hearing to feel that The system does not,
through Its veins and arteries, suck up the poison
that is sure to undermine and destroy is indeed
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To
purchase immunity from such fate should be the
object of all afflicted. But those who have tried
many remedies and physicians despair of relief or
cure.

of Catarrh from eimple head cold to the most

of drawing water from the Nile. First
there are from two to six peasants To-
Gated on the bank of the river, their
number depending on the height OF the
bank. The first man raises the water
in bucket from ten TO fifteen feet and
empties il into u ditch previously cut
and the water runs usually twenty feet
to the end, where there is depression
or artificial well large enough to nc
commodate the leather bucket OF the

or these Colonel Fox says: "At Water
loo the French numbered $4,000 men
and 252 guns; the Allies numbered IT,.
600 and 1856 gums. At Gettysburg tho
Union Army numbered $4,000 mon and
800 guns; tho Confederatcs, 10000 and
250 guns. At Waterloo, Wcllington's
army lost 23, 1856; at Gottysbvrg, Mcade's
army lost 23,003. The ross OF tho
French at Waterloo has mover been
officially announced, but has boon osti-
mated at 26, 800; the Confederate loss
at Gettysburg, rs officially reported by
the Confederate Surgcon-Gcncra', was
20,4iS, TO which must be added HOU
wounded and unwounded prisoners
whose names were omitted from ms
lists, but appear on the records m

Waterloo and Gettysburg were fought
with from 10000 to $4,000 men on each
side, and the combatants lost about
5000 each" In tho battle OF
Gravolotte Franco-Prussian War;
the Germans lost total OF 2O,5U
out of 10000 troops engaged. This
was the heaviest loss tho Germans
sustained in any battle. AT Gottys-
burg Meade lost more men with hall

percentages OF loss compare as follows'
In the Franco-Pr Prussian War that OF tho
Germans was 81 per cent; in tho
Crimean War the Allies lost 3.2 per

loss was 2.6 per cent. In tho American

exclusive OF the missing in action,
whose number has not yet been Official
ly stated. OF tho men killed, 67,O5S
died on the field and 43,Ol2 OF their

caused by disease was much greater

POTATO CULTURE.
Tho Necessity of Keeping the Tubers Free
From Weeds and Grass.

From Weeds and Grass.
Potatoes will not do well on very poor
land. They want a rich light soil. II
the soil is not so by nature it must be
made so by cultivation. With potatoes,
as with other crops, the weeds and
grass must be kept out to get the best
results. Some fail in securing satisfac-
tory results by completing their work
too soon. They will have them cleaned
out and hillcd up nicely and then leave
them to work in their corn before the
tops get large enough to receive the
final hoeing, and in consequence they
are injured by the grass and weeds,
which, in case OF dry spell take the
moisture and the potato is n failure.
Cultivate the potato as long as it will
do, and not disturb the young tubers.
Usually the tops fall down by this time.
AT planting cut the potatoes to one or
two eyes, commencing at tho root end
and cut downwards. prefer large po-
tatocs and then cut to one eye. sup
pose there is very little difference as to
the yield, whether you plant in hills or
drills, but good cultivation is very cs-
sential. As to food properties the po-
tato stands far below the grains. 1t is
estimated that 100 parts OF flour con-
tain as much actual nutriment as 6l3
parts OF potato. The potato contains
from 70 to 80 per cent. OF water, Is to
90 of starch, to OF fiber, (or woody
matter) to 4 OF gum, dextrine or
sugar, and 2 Of albumen, gluten and
casein. There is quite difference in
different varieties, and in different
seasons.
need not say any thing about the
quantity that can be raised from an
acre, but one man said that on the
same extent of land that it would take
to raise so pounds OF wheat you could
raise 1000 pounds of potatoes. This,
think, would not hold good for this
country. 1t would be 335 times as
much, or 1000 bushels to the acre. i
should think 250 to 800 bushels per acre
would be good yield. II they yield 6
times as much they are profitable
crop to raise to feed stock. Cattle need
something of the kind in winter and L
think there should be moro raised for
this purpose. The potato is quite
liable to dry rot, wet rot and scab.
There is good deal of discussion about
the different causes OF these different
diseases. The seasons and weather, l
think, have good deal to do with the
rot, but long planting of the same kind
in the same soil without change of seed
will cause it to run out and therefore
become more susceptible to disease.
The practice OF changing seed and
planting in different soils should be
kept up for the health of the potato
Tho scab is said by some to be caused
by too high manuring; some say the
potato beetle; and others fish worms;
and some the blight. / should be in
clined to attribute it to manures not
well r0tted. If what have said about
planting, tilling and disease of the po-
tato does not meet with your minds, let
us investigate tho subject and find out
II possible what will give us the best
potato, which stands among the first
necessities of the table. IN. L. Wood
