x - 4 , "' s. i- - SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE. SOUTHERN fjJ?!f flOTES. ft - sc r TOPICS QEmTERiSt TO THE PLANTER$r60!(MAN AND TRUCK GROWER, i JustVhat amount of nitrate of soda is used in this cotmtfy for fertilizing purposes. Tfe do not know, but the amount is certainly very large. The whole output has beenln the iiands of a combination, which' is composed of English capitalists, who, "on a' capital ization, of $800,000 hav-cleared $2.-" 100,000. Now we are informed that the combination is aboutto break up, and it may result in au lower price for the nitrate. The Chilean Government gets $25,000,000 annually; from the ex port duty on nitrate of soda. Now we are sure tjbat a very large part of the enormous amount of money that has been spent on nitrate Qf soda has been wasted, by reason -f bad farming.- It is doubtless. ; that , it is early truck crdjj?. but ils; economical use in .general farming is ; not so cer tain. Farmers annually buy nitrate and other forms of nitrogen merely to get a. little more to sell at once from the land, ihen by the use of the legumes, ami a proper1, rotation of crops, they could ""improve, their soils, without the purchase of nitrogen iir any form. Aad of late many have been deluded with the notion that they can, by a few bacteria on dried cotton. induce the greater accumulation of ni-i trogen by the; legumes, and they have paid $2 per acre for what cost less than ten cents to make, and at that gener ally worthless. There is no doubt that if the soil is well supplied with the bac teria suited to the legume being groli, there will be a greater nitrogen fixa tion by the legume cious intestines. As he grazes or feeds from tl c slop trough there is no need of- the tough piece of cartilege that adorns his swinesbip's nose. While crushing grains or chewing the stalks of juir.v sorghum the pig's snout is out of business. It is only when pea nuts, sweet potatoes or artichokes are left in the ground for him to harvest that the rooter has any reason to root in this day and generation. The A Farm Repair Shop. good old precept. 'A penny saved, is worth two earned,"will apply tp the farmer's business probably more than any other. It is the small and numerous leaks "that defy the pumps and sink the great ship, and it is the Itihny-small expenses of the farm that render the business unprofitable unless avoided. Things are constantly wcar ing put about the farm, and unless there' are facilities for repair on the farm, in the crop season wheii time is valuable the broken article must.be sent to town for Repair, the cost of ihe tripling far more than that of the repair, and the loss of time from the cultivation or harvest of crops, many times more than all the rest. Uieht here is where the all round handy man wins put against the one who can only do ordinary farm work. With the propf facilities at hand, if a machine is broken, in a few minutes the iron ! is welded or the broken wooden part replaced by a new piece, and the farm wori: proceeds and valuable time is thus saved. At all times of year there Rnf trhovo : are: many improvements and renairs i w - 5 u-u v- u i J- v. i i i. bacteria already exist in the soil, the abouCsTho. place that the farmer can further inoculation could do no good. And then, no matter how well the soil mayj; be-inoculated with the bacteria that live on the roots of. the lecumes. if it is deficient in phospheric acid and cestui farming. -The Epitomist. make himsalf at but a slight outlay of money, and therefore a well-equipped repair shop and the skill to make re pairs are necessary adjuncts to suc- potash,"no amount of inoculation will avail much. Now, if instead of buying Bo much of the evanescent nitrate of soda, and paying 2 far a vest pocket package of raw cotton farmers would devise a rotation of crops that will bring the legume crop generally grown in their . section, and would liberally supply that legume crop with phos phoric acid and potash, they -could, get all the nitrogen which farm crops in general need, without cost. In the large - section of the country where clover has been the legume crop, there is seldom any need for inoculation with the clover bacteria, and in sections where the cowpea Tms been grown tor generations, no inoculation is needed for it, and If there was,, no amount of t i a - ... . V- luocuiauen wjLji. pe $r muchuse unless the;"soil "tlgtoVfetf with the -mineral the swjyl.uppiiea; with the 'mineral iemenx3 ox piani iouq. s xue laci is that .there are few of the legumes that will not finally inoculate the soil with the germs carried on the seeds, and there are millions of acres more in need of' the plant foods that the legumes need than of inoculation. Some years ago a German bacteriolo gist sent out under the name of Nitra gin a laboratory culture of soil bacteria, and a little vial of this as large as one's little finger was to put all the. nitrogen needed on an acre of rlaad. In field practice it was found entirely useless, just as the last vest-pocket packages of cotton ave proven. The fact5 re mains that we can get all the nitrogen . we need through the agency of the legumes, if we supply them liberally with the plant food they require, phos phoric acid and potash. When this is done, there may be some good done in many cases by soil taken from a field where the particular legume has been long grown, and the soil - better inoculated than the one sown last. A bushel or two of this, scattered over an acre, will beat the cotton wads every time, but will not atoite for any lack or phosphoric acH ani potash in the V soil. W. F. Massey Abolish tlie Blinders. We find an item, in the Savannah Weekly News, which we can heartily endorse. We have not used blinders on a horse for years. If Ave have to take- a new bridle with blinders, we cut them off before using it. The best handlers of horses are con demning blinders. The purpose of blinders is to" shut off from view any object from behind that horse that might cause vh? hore to become alarmed and try to run away. . As ' to this, blinders have proven more disastrous than beneficial. If a horse passes some object that is not fully understood by him and causes fright, the. shutting off from view of this; scarecrow by blinders only in- es5?rtko fear. . - - Any-ixorse of ordinary good sense can. son be taught not to scare at flags, ;cars, covered wagons, umbrellas, etc by letting him see them and un derstand them. Give the horse the full power of all his senses; let him see. hear and smell, if need be, to satisfy his fears. Flor ida Agriculturist. I) A Kew View of the Hojf.

Praise for the Cuticura liemedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for he was the 'most awful sight that 1 ever be held prior to the t tment of the Cuti cura Remedies.

Stiff erers Need Not Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE Of all the diseases known, with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease is on the increase among women. JMpj. Km m a Sawyer Unless early and correct treatment is applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, is the most effi cient treatment for chronic kidney troubles of women, and is the only med icine especially prepared for this purpose. When a woman is troubled with pain or weight in loins, backache, frequent, painful or scalding tirination, swelling of limbs or feet, swelling under the eyes, an 'uneasy, tired feeling in the region of the kidneys or notices a sediment in the urine, she should lose no time in commencing treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it may be the means of saving her life. For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sawyer. " I cannot express the terrible suffering I had to endure. A derangement of the female organs developed nervous prostration and a serious kidney trouble. The doctor attended me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until 1 was unable to do anything, and I made up my mind I could not live. I finally decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound as a lastVesort, and I am to-day a well woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I tell every suffering woman about my case.1' Mrs. Emma Sawyer, Conyers, Ga.

Tho better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scien&Sc attainments and high integrity, ana and . agists 01 tne better class rnanuiacturo many excellent remedies, dul always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which nsnally includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many- useful accessoues and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil". They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction,- and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of evefy package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, .that thero i3 no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it' gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Fig3, the universal satisfaction which it gives and th8 immense demand for it, imitations have- been made,-, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed-gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to .make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name " Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In. order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off, on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs'' or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full namef the California Fig Syr.up Co. printed on the front of the package, he 13 attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it bo large or small, for if the dealer, resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are. reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through" the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price' of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions existit is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co" printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of vour monev. and in future ero to one of the better class of druggistswho willsell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.
