Wherever cities are dependent upon rivets or streams for their drink ing water, the fever iages violently. Throughout the entire South-west and North-west the wells are low; the water is of very poor quality; and here also the fever rages. The authorities of Albany, New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, St, Louis, ’hil ibelphia and other large cities are warning the people not to drink the water without first boiling it to till the malarial and typhoid germs. Surely a winter of malaria and ty phoid will ill prepare our people to encounter a summer of cholera Cholera and typhoid and malarial fevers can all be prevented by simple rules of life, and these rules should be studied by every one. These di seases are symptoms of a low state o' the system, produced by the vitiated blood. This blood is made impure because of the impurities in the drinking wa ter, there impurities being deadly poisons which paralyze the nerve ac^ lion of kidney and liver. NY hen these blood purifying organs are par alyzed, then the natural waste of the body—the uric acid—accumulates in the blood, ai.d fever cannot be pre vented until this excesss of uric scid has been removed. The greatest necesity of everyday lile is pure niter. Two-thirds of one’s body is made up water. If tbe water we drink is impure, then how can we hope to escape diseased condi tions? It is impossible. The stomach, liver and kidneys cannot jiuriry P u,,Uk ed water. Some cautious people resort to the filter for purifying this water, but even the filter does not remove this poison, for water of the most deadly character may pass through this filter and become clear, yet the poison, disguised, is there. They who uso filters know that they must become renewed at regu lar periods, for even though they do not take out all tbe the impurity, they soon become foul, Now iu like manner the human kidneys act as a filter for the blood, and if they are filled up with impuri ties and become foul like the filter, ail the blood in the system coursing through them becomes bad, for it is now a conceded fact that the kidneys are the chief means whereby the blood is purified. These organs are filled with thousands of hair like tubes, which drain the impurities from the blood, as the sewer pipes drain impurities from oui houses. If a sewer pipe breaks under the house, the sewage escapes into the earth and fills the house with poison ous gas: so if any of the thousands and one iillle hair like sewer tubes of the kidneys break down, tbe en tire body is affected by this awful poison. It is a scientific fact that the kid neys have few nerves of sensation; and, consequently, disease may exist in these organs for a long time and not be st ..pected by the individual. It is impossible to filter or take the death out of the blood when tbe least derangement exists in these or gans, and if the blood is not filtered then the nric acid or kidney poison, removable only by Warner’s safe cure, accumulates in the system aud attacks any organ, producing niue | out of ten ailment.-, just as sewer gas and bad drainage prodoces so many fatal disorders. Kidney disease may be known to exist if there is any marked depart are from ordinary health without ap narent known cause, and it should : be understood by all that the great est peril exists and is intensified if there is tbe least neglect to treat it promptly with that great specific, that Warner’s safe enre. a remedy has received the highest recognition by scientific men, who have thorough ly investigated the character of kid ney derangements. Tbe liver, when deranged. immedi ately announces the fact by sallow ekin, constipated bowels, coated tongue and headaches: but the kid ney when diseased struggles on for a long time, and the fact of its disease can only be discovered by Ihe aid of the microscope or by the physician who is skillful enough to trace the most indirect effects in the system to the derangement of these orgftns ns the prime cause. ALFALFA CLOVER. How to Seed Laud aud Grow it Suc« oessfully. Albany News anil Advertiser. It is always best to consider well any contemplated step, and to go into an enterprise advisably. The articles published on alfalfa by the News and Advertiser have produced tbe desired effect quickly. A great have expressed their defermi to plant alfalfa at once, and seed is in great request. There is a growing desire for in on the nature of the plant the best aud most approved of cultivation. The follow from the Cincinnati Commercial will -.bow what estimate is on tbe plant by others: According to the old proverb he succeeds in making two spears grass grow where one grew oefore entitled to a reward of merit. By it may bo supposed that farmer who succeeds in growing crop of grass or fodder from a ma not in common use is entitled marked distinction. Now, we have long believed that 'i'T! ilifornta 1 -®, known better mtgnt as alfalfa or clover, oo succumb raised iu this purt of the coun to the great advantage of farm and stockfeeders generally, if experimenters could be induced give proper attention to the mat We remember the plant was in Eastern l’ennsylvania years ago aud very much ap proved by those who raised it, but why the culture of it was intermit ted no are unable to say. A few amateur fanners in this have made fitful efforts to es it to a crop, but we believe they failed to persist in the attempt. Mean lime, on l ho Pacific Coast, we believe that lucerne is now the princi pal Lay and fodder crop, often bring ing forth three or four crops per sea sen, but fas exceeding ul! other grass crops counted together, Alfalfa is a perennial ot the clover family, and grows, accotding io tbe productiveness of the soil, from one to three ttei high. It produces abundant foliage and will endure throughout the coldest winter. The land should bo well prepared for it, and twenty pounds of seed should bo sown to the acre about April 1. Tbo seed ougLt to be rolled well into tbe soil. After the first year the plant wil leprout front the roots, as soon as tbo fiost is out of the ground, and will be ready for the first cut ting early in July. Many persons fail iu their first attempt to raise al falfa from putting it on poor land. It ought to have old, rich timl welj drained soil to make its best growth. When it gtmws well it is a!\. jo ,. e first plant teady for pasturu g in the spring, and seldom produces less than four tons per actc per s<..s< r. after being well set. Alfalfa is tbe i:d< it known fodd r plant iu the world, having been knowu and prized by the and Romans nearly a thousand before Christ. In bis fine work, Tbe Grasses of North America, Pro fessot Beal styles lucerne '‘the child of the stvj,” and says it likes a loam of sat d, with a deep, subsoil, and utterly refuscB to on a compact clay or bard bottom any kind.

BRAWNKR. docll-2m and ill advised efforts to cultivate la cerue or alfalfa in this county, but, while some small patches have thrived, it has not been a signal sue ces 3 for want of tbo knowledge of the best methods. The N '.vr and Advertiser, after investigation, would suggest that those who wish to plant this spring do so at once, and plant in drills about two feet, npart so as lo be able to cultivate it. The most serious ob stacle to its rapid possession of the soil iu this section is the rank growtL of weeds. The alfalfa is a plant of slow growth at first, and the weeds here are of prodigous growth and are liable to choke it out. The best GmA, broad foi- nnwipc the alfalfa seed cast, is in me run; plant is perennial in our climate and will so possess the soil by spring as to exclude weeds by the vigor of its own growth. Fresh land will prove best to sow do«u, as the weeds will not prove so troublesome. In this latitude the plant grows luxuriantly all winter, and can easily be cut six times a year, and on rich soil will unquestionably yield from four to six tons of bay per acre. At 20 pounds of seed per acre, the cost may appear excessive, but it is tnoder ate when it is remembered that once seeded, it is perennial and that the seed from half an acre, if saved, will sow several acres tho Dext year. The News and Advertiser studifa to know what is best calculated to improve tbe material condition noth of | our people, and believes that ing iu sight promises more for tbe advancement of this section thati the general cultivation of alfalfa. . .. ....... —-------- ♦ "" — “That Miss Jones is a nice-looking girl, isn’t she?" “Yes, and she’d be the belle of the if it wasn’t for thing. ’ town one “What’s that ?” “She lias catarrh so bad it is unpleas¬ ant to bo uear her.
