A QUERY.
What "SubsCribers" Would Like 10
Know.

We have recently received a letter
from one OF our well-known subscr b.
ers upon a subject which we prefer to
publish for the perusal OF our readers. &.
anticipating that in so doing some one
will relieve US OF the responsibility OF
answering "SubScriber'sn questions.
Here Is the letter:
"My Dear EGltOr:-For several years
past have been the recipient of sew
eral pamphlets issued from time to
time by Messrs- H. II. Warner & Co.,
OF Rochester, y. Y. which, in addition
to containing an extensive treatise upon
kidney disease, Its origin, usual symp-
toms and growth, also includes nu
merous testimonials from parties whose
fac-simile signatures are attached
thereto, attesting the statement that
they have been individually relieved by
the use Of Warmers safe Cure, which
Is prepared by the above firm, for the
use or persons so afflicted. Now, Mr..
Editor, l would like to know If the
statements made by those parties who
testify 70 the great good which War
ner's safe Cure has done them, can be
relied upon. They seem honest enough
from the way they read. Warner 5 Safe

Each pamphlet which 1 have re
ceived contains a hundred or more
testimonials, and the same one does not
appear IN more than one pamphlet, so
It seems that there are a good many
who are being helped by that remedy.
1t strikes me that there is a good
deal OF sense in claim which those
parties make that the doctors are treat
ing too many persons for wrong eau
ses. and that oftentimes. people are
treated for consumption, brain, heart
and nervous disorders, when they are
suffering from kidney disease which
should be treated, as they say, by the
use OF Warmers Safe Cure and as a
result, when disease is first removed
therefrom. 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 a
more careful inquiry being made, IN
order that the true cause may be as
certained, and the proper treatment

by NJ. Max NitSche- Niesky:-Good
coke is ground and mixed with coal tar
to stiff dough and pressed into moulds
made OF iron and brass. After driving
for few days in a closed place it is
heated In furnace, where 1t is pro-
tected from the direct flames and
burned feebly at first, then strongly,
the fire being gradually raised to "a
white heat, which is maintained for
SIX or eight hours. The fire is then
permitted to slowly 60 down, and being
perfectly cold the carbon is taken out
of the furnace.

EFFECTS OF TRAINING.-An inter-
esting instance of the results of train
Ing was recently given in my dairy.
The home bred cows are all reared
without ever having sucked their dams
and are handled from birth. There
has never been any difficulty in teach
ing the calves of these cows to drink
the milk One lesson, giving the
finger to guide the young thing to the
milk in the pail, and then gradually
taking 1t away, has always been sum
cient. The calf OF COW purchased
some time ago, and now weaving, has
shown an extraordinary obstinacy and
stupidity in refusing to drink, and
nearly two weeks time has been occu-
pied in teaching 1t. This cow when
a calf suck ed its dam for a month and
her cal, es up to this have always
sucked. The habit is thus inbred.
