Too Much Knife! The use of the surgeon's knife is becoming so pcncr.il, resulting' fatally in sucli a large number of eases, as to occasion general alarm. Mr. William Walpole.of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes; "About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. Itgrcw rapidly,and ? W shooting pains ran in every direction. W . \ j I became alarmed 1 \i JH|' and consulted a ' good doctor, who , pronounced it can* and sa"*tl,at ** must be cut out. , 'W^Nll/ This I would not i ' consent to, having little faith in the | indiscriminate use of the knife. Heading of the many cures made by S. S. ' S., I determined to give that medicine i a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer bccatnc irritated and bcg'an to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy. Cancer is in the blood and t is folly tocxpect an operation to cure it. S.S.S. (,guaranteed purely vegetable) is a real remedy for every disease of the blood.

"Southerti States Farm Mairazine" from a subscriber in South Carolina: "I have 1.(100 acre* <?t lain] in tlie upper part of this State, which is typical of many thousand more in the same section. The country is semi-mountainous, the roads are villainous, tlie lands have all boon run down and washed into jollies under the system of neuro-tenant tanning in voirue since the war. and my place is now a mere succession of blank hillsides and old pine fields It is no longer profitable to run a farm on the place, and 1 know of no use to which it can he pet tin less it can he made into a sheep ranehe. I am too far removed from it to give it person;)! atten tion, ami. besides. I know not 11 ing of the sheep raising business. I should like to have an es?av from some authority on the ?ub jeet who is familiar with such lands as 1 refer t<? a* to whether sheep raising eould he ma le profitable at such a plaee and in what way it should he managed : with what sized lloek it is well to begin, the breeds host adapted to this region; whether the placei should he fenced and the sheep allowed to roam the place, or I whether they should he att? nded ' hy a shepherd ; what tlie cost, of, feeding anil attention would he I in this section, and something as j to possible nrolits : also to what extent the place wouM have to ho set with foreign grasses, and what would he the probable cost of that work." It is a source of regret to all t j?nrtiotie citizens that so much! valtiahle land in the South has J heen destroyed hy the pernicious' system ot agriculture that prevailed in that section before the' (Jivil War and in many places' subsequent to it. A great deal of this worn out land, however, it it has a good clay subsoil, may he1 reclaimed by raising sheep on it : and pursuing the following m? !h ods : I. Sow one bushel of < o\vi>oas i per acre in April or May, an<l ap-! j ply to the land at the time of | sowing the peas about lf><) to 200 ' pounds ot some good superphos- i phate of lime and all the stable manure that may be gathered or i purchased. Turn the sheep on a! | part ol the peas about the lirst of \ August and cut the remainder t when the pods are well formed, i to be used as lorage for them dur t ing the winter. t 2. After sowing peas for two r years in succession on the same land, put the land down to Her muds grass. The seed of this grass is hard to obtain and sells for a high price, but a stand of the grass may be secured by cutting the culms of the green into sections of two or three inches in length and dropping a few of the 1 sections at intervals of a foot \ apart each way. If the soil has t any vitality in it whatever the t surface of the land will be cover- t ed by a green mantle within (J twelve months. One aero of this r grass well set will easily keep two o sheep for eight months in the ;i year, and, it very rank, from three to live. i I ">. The droppings from the sheep will soon enrieh the hill- I sides, for it is a peeuliaritv ol ' thi< animal to leed in the valleys ' and to rest on the slopes of the 1 hills. By all means the gullies ci should he tilled and Bermuda v grass sown or planted where they 1 liave been. Nothing will cheek -s washes so quickly as the rhizomes i of Bermuda grass. The correspondent does not ' give any intimation as to the do 1 greo of cold in winter or how I elevated his farm is. If the ther N mometer goes often below zero c the Bermuda grass will not en- r dure the cold. This grass is a ? child ol the sun. and luxuriates ' in summer sunshine. Should the ' winter be very severe it would be j1 well to sow a half bushel ol clean ^ herd's -r.tss seed with the I?or-!j mtida. These trusses resemble 1 I each other in their manner growth s and of spreading over the land, and also in their titness for graz ' inn purpose*. If the land is mountainous the Merino breed will be more hardy than any oilier, fur their origin was mi the:* loot ol the Pyrenees, where they.' roamed over the ruujjod heijrhtsi, and found a seantv subsidence I anions the rocks and cra^softbat ' elevated chain of mountains.

One man may easily alleml to ? llock of several hundred sheep. It would be much better to have he farm enclosed and not allow he sheep to stray away to other dantations. The cost of putting ho land in grass will not bo loss ban $5 per acre, but it will be a ;reat error to sow it in grass vithout proper fertilization,which vould add at least $2 to this sum. Dogs are the greatest enemy to iheep in the Southern States, md to prevent their depredations he ilocks should be driven up at liirht and coralled. A snaoe of >ne fourth of an acre for every 00 sheep, enclosed with barbed vire put three inches apart on he posts, will be suflicient. This oielosure should always be on ho poorest spots, so that the trappings of the sheep will enieh them. The fence around the mclosure should be movable, so is to change the spots. We trust our eorrespodent will lot attempt to improve his place ill at once. It required a long itne to wear it out, and it will e?piire a long time to improve it. inIe-- he has a heavy purse and s willing to exend a large amount >f money for fertilizers. We are rritingon the supposition that le wishes to make the raising of beep pay all expenses for the mprovcn.ent of the place, but if le desires to improve it more apidly he should spend not less ban $ln per acre on it, which is irobablv more than the place is vorth at present. A distinguished iti/.en of Blatimore, a man of ;reat wealth, once bought a large 1 Uailt it V of Worn-out hind ununwl lit' city and spent an equal unount for the purpose of re laiming it. This transaction iroved exceedingly profitable, how inj; that all money expended udiciouslv for fertilizers and nanure hy fanners is money well ipent. ONE OF TWO WAYS.

So the womb, like the bladder, was Treated for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very uloso to the bladder, therefore any pain or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To lind out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
