Tho name of this disease which may bo divided into throe distinct stages is Hist kidney trouble, ii.dicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de sire to urinate, often with a burning sensation, tho How of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches tho second stage, or bladder trouble with heavy pain in tho abdomen low down botwoon tho naval and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scald ing sensation in passing, small quantities being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instilments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dnngerous if neglected. Tlip third stage is Pl ight's disease.

Half of his land goos under tho plough yeai ly. About 2,(XX) acres aro sown in wheat, and tho rest is planted in corn. Other land is laid down in clovor, timo thy and bluo grass pastures. Kvory year ho buys and fattens from 8,000 to 10,000 head of cattle. Ho kcops 12,000 hoad of hogs at all timos, and solis about $80,000 worth yearly." If it is praoticnblo to farm profitably on this scale, without raising any cotton, it should bo practica ble to farm profitably on a smaller scale without raising it on borrowed monoy and advanced supplies.-Charleston Nows and Courier.

It's just ns useless to try ts escape from the germs of consumption. You can't do it. They are about us on every hand and we arc con? stantty taking them into our lungs. Then why don't we all have this disease ? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foot hold in a strong throat and lungs. It's when these aro weak that the germs muster. The body must bc well supplied with fat. The danger comes when thc blood is poor and thc body is thin. If your cough does not yield, and your throat and lungs feet raw and ?ore. you should not delay another day. Take Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Mypophos phitcs at once. It will heal the inflamed membranes and greatly strengthen them ns well. The digestion becomes stronger, the appetite better and the weight increases.
