Somewhere in the world life is at
stake every minute of the day. Right
at our own doors, perhaps, is going on a
struggle as grim and fierce as any fight
or flight on record. You hear the hol-
low tearing cough see the ooze of blood
which tells of the wounded lungs; mark
the emaciated body and hectic cheek,
and know life is at stake.
The use of Dr. Pierces Golden Med
ical Discovery las saved many life in
just such a crisis. 1t cures obstinate,
deep-seated coughs, stops the hemor-
rhage, strengthens rweak lungs, and
restores the emaciated body to its nor
NAL weight and strength.
There is no alcohol in the &c Discov-
cry" and it is absolutely free from
opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.

FIRE RANGED MANURE.
And Farmers Contradictory Opin
ions About Its VaIuc.

And Farmers Contradictory Opin-
ions About Its VaIuc.
Every farmer has had more expert
ence than he desired with fire fanged"
manure, yet we will at times find farm
ers who declare that they had just as
good crops from it as from the best of
barn manure. Commenting upon this
question of the effect of fire fanging on
the value of manure, J. Il. II. Gregory
says in American Cultivator:
The action of the. oxygen on the nj
trogen which enters into the compost
tion of the manure practically destroys
it in the burning process. This is real
ly all the essential loss our manure
heap has undergone. The absence of
moisture, which has been dried out by
the heat. Is in reality no loss as far as
it's plant food value goes. The only
vital change, then, in our manure is
that it has lost much of its nitrogen,
the phosphoric acid and potash con-
tents being the same in quantity after
it has been fire fanged as they were be-
FORE
We have not table of analysis at
hand, but it is safe to say that the nj
trogen constituent of barn manure is
about equal in value to the phosphoric
acid and potash elements combined.
On this basis of value badly fire fanged
manure is cord for cord worth about
half as much as that which is in its
natural condition.
If it be asked how. then, can any
farmer find the same value in it as in
that which has never been burned. the
| answer is the same in kind as that to
| be made to those who state that on
their crop lcached wood ashes has as
| good an effect as does the unleached
| 1t is in both cases that the crop did not
need the absent element In the one 1t
| was nitrogen and in the other potash.
If the nitrogen burned out could he
returned then the manure would, of
course. lie as valuable as before. This
can be done by adding fish waste. night
soil or some chemical rich in nitrogen

Sweet and Sour Cherries,

If there is any fruit that the markets
are never oversupplied with in the
summer, it is the cherry. either sweet
or sour. The reason for this is that it
takes a long time to raise Il bearing
orchard of trees, and between the time
of starting the trees until they begin to
bear there are many enemies to con-
tend against, and when the fruit is
ripening the birds are bound TO get
more than their share. Consequently
cherries are not as profitable as they
should be. The market demand is al
ways good, the prices rarely drop
low, but yet the farmers do not make
very much. In California they do
make considerable from their cherry
orchards, but elsewhere the crop seems
neglected one.

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia. heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

A Scheme to Stop Waste of Soil and

In arid sections of the west farmers
have learned to hoard up every drop
of water. Eastern farmers, III general,
allow the precious fluid on their farms
to flow away in creeks and rivers, at
the same time carrying off quantities
of the fertilizing material which with
great labor and expense they had plac-
ed on their land One Ohio man at
least has different notion about this
matter, as told in the Ohio Farmer.
Several years ago his eyes were
opened to the fact that small stream
which passed through his place was
carrying his property away bodily, so
he decided not only to stop this waste,
but at the same time to make said
stream serve him in dry weather.
In the southeastern corner Of the farm
he built dam across the above men
toned stream in this manner: He dug

JENNIE BossCHIETER CASE.
Kerr Will Have Separate Trial-O thers
 Tried Monday.

Paterson, N. J., Jan 9.-Judge Dixon, in opening the January term of the su- preme court here yesterday, charged the grand jury to investigate report published in local paper to the effect that a prominent person here had re- gently been concerned in the druggihg of young girl, who escaped the fate of Jennie Bosschieter only through the prompt services of physician.
 The story published told of the doc tors working over the girl all nigh, and of her being brought back to life with great difficulty, and it was assert ed that the man in the case had paid the girls father several thousand dol lars to hush the matter up. In the same article other similar cases were hinted at. The charge of Judge Dix on. ill reference to this matter, has created q sensation here. l. The court said: Tt would seem to be advisable for the grand jury that they call upon the persons who were concerned in that publication for what ever information they are able to give. If it has basis in truth and you have reasonable ground for believing that in this community any part of this 1eloniouS transaction occurred, either in the prepara ton for commission or in the efforts to compromise it to pre- vent public investigation. there would be evidence enough upon which you could present an indictment"
 The first case taken up by Judge Dixon was the application of George J. Kerr for a separate trial on the indct- ment in the Jennie Bosschieter case and of Walter C.McAllister in the same case for removal of the indictment to the superior court to the end that it nay be reviewed and quashed on sev- eral technicalities Judge Dixon held that he had carefully gone over the latter application and considered the points raised groundleSs.
 Ore was that the indictment did not state the date on wh ch the murder was committed; the second point was du- pilcity, as containing the charge of rape and murder: another point was that the indictment did not contain the words ''willfully. feloniously and with malice aforethought": the fourth ob- lectlon was on d question of illrisdic- tion. as the murder was committed outside of Passaic county. The uues- ton as to the crime committed was also raised. The court held this uues- tion would be settled at the trial.
 In the case of the applications for separate trial for George J. Kerr. the court grants it and later will make known it's reasons
 The judge ordered that the four de- fendants-McAllister Kerr Death and Campbell-be ready for trial next Mon day.
