Why Land is a Good Investment.

The statistician of the Department of
Agriculture of the United States esti-
mates that in 1881 the population OF
this country will be 130,0OO,O00, and the
census bureau agrees that this is con-
servative estimate. To supply the re-
quirements of this number of people
100000 bushels of wheat, 1880, ,000,0 900
bushels of oats, 345,000,000 bushels of
corn, 100,000,000 tons of hay; and cot
ton, tobacco and fruits and vegetables
in proportion. To produce this i'm
mensely increased quantity of food and
kindred products will necessitate the
bringing under cultivation of an addi-
tional 150,000,000 acres of land, and it
is estimated that we have only 10S,-
100000 acres available for cultivation.
OF course these estimates do not take
into account the efforts of Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, whereby every acre will event.
ually produce double its present crop.
Nevertheless these statistics present
matters for serious reflection, and
should bring it home to every thought
full man that good agricultural land to-
day offers the best and safest invest
ment on earth and that there can be no
better object in life than determina-
ton on the part of every citizen to
acquire at least enough of Mother
Earth to ensure him living for him
self and his family through his own
| individual efforts.

Feeds Fowls Automatically.

A farmer in Oregon, who owns a
small poultry farm, has devised a novel
method of feeding his chickens during
his absence. In each yard he has
erected troughs to hold food for the
hens, and these are connected by wire
with an alarm clock in the farmhouse.
When the owner leaves home in the
morning he sets the alarm clock at
the hour of feeding the chickens. and
by an ingenious arrangement, when
the time arrives, the alarm goes off
the connecting wire releases the
troughs, and the food is spread before
the hungry fowls.

The Biggest Spider.

Madagascar is the home of the dog

weighs nearly a pound, and each of its
eight legs is about as long and thick
as an ordinary lead pencil.

Ingalls, EuIogy on Grass

The following tribute to grass, writ
ten by the late Senator Ingalls, of
Kansas, although published many
times, will bear much repetition. 1t
may we'll rank as one of our choicest
literary gems:
Majestic, fruitful, wondrous plant!
The corn triumphant, that with the aid
Of man hath made victorious process
sion across the tufted plain, and laid
foundation for the social excellence
that is, and is to be. The glorious
plant, TRANSMITTED by the alchemy Of
God, sustains the warrior in battle,
the poet in song and strengthens
everywhere the thousand arms that
work the purposes of life.
Next in Importance to the divine
profusion of water, light and air, those
three great physical facts which rem
der existence possible, may be reck-
oned the universal beneficence OF
grass. Exaggerated by tropical heats
and vapors to the gigantic cane con-
gested with it's saccharine secretion
or dwarfted by polar rigors to the
fibrous hair of northern extremes the
male with its reSOlute pennons, the
rice plant of southern swamps, the
wheat, rye, barley, oats and other ce-
reals, no less than the humber YER
dure of the hillside, pasture and
prairie in the temperate zone, grass is
the most widely distributed of all veg
etable being and is at once the type
of our life and the emblem of NOR
tally. Lying in the sunshine among
the buttercups and the dandelions OF
May, scarcely higher in intelligence
than the minute tenants of the mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollections
of the grass; and when the fitful fe-
yer is ended and the foolish wrangle
of the market and the forum is closed
grass heals over the scar which our
descent into the bosom Of the earth
has made, and the carpet of the in

Tribute to the Dog

The following is part Of an address
to a jury in suit against man who
had shot and killed his neighbours dog.
Senator Vest of Missouri was attorney
for plaintiff from whose address to the
jury the following is an extract:
Gentlemen Of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in this world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove I'M
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name
NAV become traitors to their faith.
The money that man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him, perhaps.
when he needs it most A mans rep
utation may be sacrificed in mo-
ment of ill-gotten action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
to do us honor when success is with
us may be the first to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads. The one abso-
lutely unselfsh friend that man can
have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacher-
Gus, is his dog.
Gentlemen of the jury, a mans dog
stands by him in prosperity and in
poverty, in health and in sickness He
will sleep on the cold ground, where
the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he may be near
his masters side He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer, he will
lick the wounds and sores that come
in encounter with the roughness OF
the world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if he were prince.
When all other friends desert hes re-
mains When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun in it's jour
new through the heaven. II fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him to
guard against danger, to fight against
his enemies, and when the last scene
of all comes, and death takes the mas

'CATARRH of the kidneys is very
~ much neglected diseu3.
1t is not until the disc. has a firm
hold upon the kidneys that the patient
begins to realize that there Is some de-
rangement of these organs.
The slight backaches, tho feelings Of
lassitude, and other warning symptoms
of kidney disease are overlooked.
They are not serious enough to detain
the patient from his regular work.
Even when he discovers that the kid
news are affected, he does not recognize
the difficulty as being caused by ca
tarrh.
| Catarrh is sometimes SO very gradual
in it's approach and its earlier symptoms
cause such slight discomfort that 1t Ia

However, when 1t is once firmly seated
in the kidneys, it becomes dificult

Indeed, catarrh Of the kidneys Is more
serious than catarrh affecting some Of
the other organs Of the body.
In the kidneys, tits liable to terminate
in Bright's Disease or diabetes, both Of

ailments, IL not fatal.
The thing to be done, when catarrh Of

one that reaches the very source OF tho

difficulty.
Such q remedy has been found in

Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring

coarse all-wheat bread will have the same effect.

strilingly true with regard to Constipation.
The bark OF certain tree in Califomia-Css-

end. But, combined with Egyptian SIENNA, Slip
