Peop.e do not realize the remarkable
prevalency Of kidney disease. Thousands
die yearly from some form of it! While it
is not dangerous at first, the disease pro-
crosses quickly and is soon in the ad-
vanced or chronic stage, which is not only
serious, but in a large percentage of cases,
unless proper medicine is used, fatal. Kid
ney trouble seldom progresses without also
affecting the liver and producing some sort
of an irritation OF the bladder.

in his letter to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. V, dated January 10th, and which
reads as follows:
''For twenty years off and on had been
troubled with my kidneys, but as they would
be better and then again worse thought
very little about it. However, the disease
gradually progressed until it became chronic
and finally tioored me. About year ago l
one OF them pronounced my trouble gravel,
and the other stated it was hemorrhage OF
tte kidneys. At this time l was in bed for
a IT onth. Ipassed pus and bloody matter

place. When within fifty yards of the
fighting quadrupeds the hare we sup
posed was dead or dying leaped to his
feet and fought more viciously than
ever. The contest did not continue
much longer, as the hare which had
challenged its opponent fell back as IL
hit with leaden pellets and lay appar-
emily dead on the field of battle. After
driving the successful competitor away
and picking up the prostrate animal
we found that both of its eyes were
completely destroyed and its face hor-
ribly lacerated. We easily captured
the 'conquering hero and had the two
little pugilists cared for as well as cir
cumstances would permit, but they
were too severely punished to survive
their wounds, and that evening the
proprietor of the park found himself
minus two of his imported flyers
they had kicked the bucket"
The sportsman further states that
when forwarding hares to this city
from where they are shipped the trap
per must provide coops arranged in
such way that the rabbits are sep
arated from each other by compart-
ments, otherwise they would fight un-
til death would end their trouble -

Potato salad is nice dish for light
Sunday supper. 1t may be made in
hurry, by boiling the potatoes in salted
water, letting them stand till almost
cool, cutting them into dice, adding q
generous portion of butter, half an
onion shredded fine, three tablespoon
fuls of vinegar, all mixed well together
and served cold. But when it is de-
sirable for the salad to look nice as
we'll as to taste good, mix the potatoes
and onions, put them In salad dish
and pour over them French dressing
made with two tablespoonfuls of salad

three tablespoonfuls TIA of vinegar, mix
ing carefully tho egg and butter and
adding vinegar carefully. The dish is

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE SAFEST BUSINESS.

Agriculture tho One Line of Industry
That Is Not Overorowded.
mot less than 95 per cent of our
farmers make q success of farming"
Those are the words of an Iowa farmer
who spoke before the Iowa senate COM
mittee on agriculture. Statistics show
very convincingly that In business pur-
suits only per cent. of those who un'
dertake the different lines are success
full. There is, then, vast difference
between farming and other kinds OF
business so far rs a surety of achieving
success Is concerned. There is so large
n difference that comparison should
convince more persons that to till the
soil Is practically the sure road to suc-
cess and, consequently, the best. The
late extreme depression in business has
hardly been felt by the farmers, and
even where 1t was manifest to them it
was noticed in its effects on the surplus
which was to be put aside as savings
not being noticed so far as the enjoy
ment Of necessities and comforts were
concerned, On this one particular
point the farmers stand so far in ad-
vance of strugglers in other ventures
that comparison Is almost impossible.
The difference between absolute safety
and possible want is too much to put
into language. Figures can never COM
pute it. Artists cannot paint it. 1t
must be felt to be appreciated, and to
feel that sense of surety is to enjoy
more of life tlrhn even the abundantly
successful business adventurer can
feel in the height of initiation. The
words of the Iowa farmer may seem
overdrawn, but even if they are by 10
or so per cent. there would still be
heavy balance in favor of farming.
The conclusion is easy that agriculture
is the one line of industry not over
crowded, which, in fact, cannot be
overdone in this country within the
life of any person now living. 1t will
take years to strike balance between
95 and per cent, SO that farming will
be on par with mercantile pursuits
as to uncertainty. AS n matter of fact,
that time need never be expected.
Meanwhile every effort put forth to
keep young men on the farms or to
get families out of the towns on to the
farms is in the in terest of permanent
national prosperity, to say nothing of
personal comforts and safety. Every
day the tide is turning toward the ru-
raj districts. The prices of farms will
gradually go up as the demand for
such homes increases. That has al
ways been the effect following finan-
cial depression. The value of suitable
stock for beginning farming operations
will also rise as the popularity of farm
ing grows upon the people. The neces-
sity for immediate action can be easily
recognized under the existing circum-
stances. The prophecy will hardly be
doubted, that there will be 10, if not
80, per cent. less abandoned farms"
in New Hampshire at the end of this
year than on this date. If that be true
the financial difficulties will not have
come upon the people in vain.-Man-
chester On. H. Union.

And Whom They Do Get at 1t There 10 n
Lot of Fur In the Air.
battle to a finish between two rab-
bits was lately witnessed by at least a
dozen leashmen, all of whom state that
they had never witnessed more novel
or interesting contest between man or
beast
Canavan received from Trapper
Browning, of Merced, two consign-
ments of jacks few weeks ago that
for some reason became very unfriend-
ly; owing possibly to the fact of hav-
ing been caught in different localities,
they represented different tribes of the
genus Lepus. However, the hares,
properly called, became very belliger-
ent, and battles royal were almost of
daily occurrence in the park. At last
the patrons of the leash were afforded
n splendid opportunity of seeing con-
test to finish between two of the new
arrivals, and descriptive account of
"the war" was given to reporter:
1--WE were chatting over the pros
poets of next days coursing and COM
menting on the weather." said the
speaker, 'when a jack was seen CROSS
ing the field in the direction of the es-
cape with another jack in hot pur-
suit. At first | thought some stray
dog had got into the field at the
south end and was driving the hares
toward the breeding paddock Sud-
denly hare No. turned in its track
and dashed at its pursuer. They tele-
scoped, so to speak, and then the fight
was on. You should have been there
to see the fur fly. There was no fake
about this match: it was for blood and
fur.
The rabbits rolled in the mud after
the first charge, and as they regained
their pins they rose quickly on their
hind feet and slashed at each other
with their front paws in manner that
would have made champions of the
prize ring feel as if they were as slow
as snail in their movements posi-
lively never saw such fierce fighting,
At each stroke the fur would be seen
to fly in punches, and the blows II
they can be termed such, were fast and
| furious. after minutes contest the
pursued hare made an effort to run,
but it was SO badly crippled that it lost
its equilibrium and fell in the slush.
