S SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT. When physicians fail to give relief in cases ol chronic ailments, resulting from poison blood, how gratifying to the sufferer to obtain at last the right remedy. Where every other treatment miserably fails to cure, Botanic Blood Balm invariably gains a victory. -- San Saba, Texas, February 0,1S82. Our little daughter became effected with some form of scalp disease, supposed to bo ringworm or eczema. It first began in white scabs or dandruff and then formed In small sores all over the front part of her head with rough patches on SORES her forehead and face, and then run an ugly eating sore on her head which con tinued to spread until a neighbor insisted on me trying B. B. Ii. After using a bottle and a half tlie sore is healing nicely and the child's health much improved and she is getting fat. 1 believe Jl. D.

Barswortii, Chambers Co., Ala., j February G, 1888. j For the last six years I have been a great suffer¬ er from blood poison ; could not get anything that would do me any good.

A month ago I commenced taking the B. B. B. and was able to walk a half mile liefore 1 had taken two bottles. The cancer is healing up nicely, and I think the use of this remedy will cure me. (U) K.

The good wife bustled about the house, Her face still bright with a pleasant smile, As broken snatches of happy song Strengthened her heart and hand the while. The good man sat in the chimney nook, His little clay pipe within his lips, And all he’d made and all he’d lost, Heady and clear on his huger tips. “Good wife, I’ve just been thinking a bit, Nothing has done very well this year; Money is bound to be hard to get— Everything's bound to be very dear; IIow the cattle are going to be fed, How we’re to keep the boys at school, Is kind of a debt and credit sum I can’t make balance by my rule. He turned her round from the baking bread, Ami she faced him with a cheerful laugh; i “Why, husband dear, one would think j That the good rich wheat was only chaff. j And what if the wheat was only chaff, As long as we both are well and strong? : I’m not a woman to worry a bit, ; Somehow or other we get along. I “Into lives rain must, fall, some some Over all lands the storm must beat. Hut when the rains and storms are o’er, The after sunshine is twice as sweet. Through every strait we have found a load, In every grief we’ve found a song; We’ve had to bear and had to wait, Hut somehow or other we get along. “For thirty years we have loved each other, •Stood by each other whatever befell. Six boys have called us father and mother, And all of them living and doing well. We owe no man a ponny, my dear, We’re both of us loving, well and strong, Good man, I wish you would smoke again, And think how well we’ve got along.” He filled his pipe with a pleasant laugh; ; He kissed his wife with a tender pride; ! He said: “I’ll do tell love, as you me, I’ll just count upon the other side.” She left him then with his better thought, And lifted her work with a low, sweet song— j A song that followed me many a year, i Somehow or other we got along. ' LIVINGSTON ON COTTON BAGGING. He In Ortuin the Georgia Crop Will be Mur* keted Without the Aid of .lute. Col. L. F. Livingston, president of the Stale Alliance of Georgia, is in the city, and a Journal reporter looked him up and talked, to him concerning tlie use of cotton cloth. \\ e asked: "What do you know touching ... the subject of cotton cloth. Will it be ready with for the farmers season? to cover their crop next “The arrangement in Augusta as to Georgia was this: Thai all orders should be placed wuh (be Lane mills and with.the West point nulls. Iho orders for these two nulls would be di vided pro rata by the mills. two gentlemen It would representing difference these two Georgia make no to or any body else where the orders went, whether to New Orleans or to West I’oint. These two gentlemen They required were the to divide these orders. orders placed as early as possible, aud have been insisting on the farmers their orders as early as possible.

The in difference of many farmers may prompt them to postpone placing their orders until it will lie too late to have them filled mid the resuit will be that there will be a great many farmers clamorous for cotton cloth, and it will not be ready for them, because they have neglected to notify us in advance.” “Why not, colonel? Have (lie mi t | l0r iiies or the Alliance place their or ders for the two million yards, which w jj| p p necessary for Georgia, and take chances on selling that quantity throne'll the exchange anil through the merchants in the communities in which the farmers live?” “We have no business agent inGeor <dii, from the fart that our state ex ehaiK'e is not yet in operation.

They will not he retarded this year as they were last, nor will they suffer the. damage which was caused by the delay on their part in the securing of the necessary amount j of bagging. Now let the wholesale dry goods men, the wholesale grocery men, the warehousemen, the hankers, the lawyers, the physicians and in fact ev ervone who will handle some of the farmer’s money, take an-active part in the bagging question, and advocate the cotton cloth, and see that the necessary supply will he on hand to meet the de¬ mand of the farmers to buy and cover their crop with.” Continued Go!. Livingston: “I have a letter lately received from a business agent in Louisiana, in which lie says that the cotton exchange of New Or¬ leans has endorsed our demand for an allowance on all cotton bagging covered hales, of eight pounds per bale. This settles the question of allowance on tho part of all other exchanges throughout the country, for they must necessarily follow the lead. Here is the article, giving the action of the New Orleans cotton exchange. and is of very great interest: ‘Considerable interest was aroused in business circles yesterday alter noon,’ says the Ti.nes-Demoerat, directors^ ‘awaiting the action of the board of the cotton exchange on ti.e question of the reduction of the tare on cotton covered with cotton bagging. This all important question lias been a subject of consideration with the man¬ agement of tlie exchange during the past year, and now that the alliances have brought forward a bagging board that has will stand a full test, the adopted an independent view of (lie sit¬ uation. which it believes to he for the best interest of all, and which it purpo¬ ses submitting to tho exchanges of the United States and Europe.’ reads The circular, unanimously adopted, as follows: “In baling the cotton crop of the T r ni ted States there is now annually etn ployed about; 10 , 000,000 yards of jute bagging. The jute fibre is a foreign product, and its manufacture into bag gjnnr is conducted chiefly beyond the limits of the cotton states. “The annual cost to the growers of cotton for the bagging used in baling foeir cotton crop of 7,000,000 bales may be stated at sav #5.01X1,000. p () r fog purpose of promoting home manufactures and increasing the use and consumption of (lie great exchange staple cr „ p of the cotton states this has instituted inquiry into the qualities and merits of a cotton fabric made es pecrially for baling cotton.

A man who is able to pav his son's way through college would hesitate before committing him to this obligat ion. This system of prize schol¬ arships has worked well everywhere. It is the settled rule in France", audit is practiced largely " in Kngland and in New Kngland. The state cannot spend would money to a better advantage. It. inspire Georgia young scholars in every county in and to have won one of these scholarships will be a lasting distinction. If any county should fail to present a candidate the chancellor of the university shall announce that fact and open competition for the va¬ cancy to the whole state. This hill will keep one hundred and thirty-eight young men at the university perpetual¬ ly whose expenses are being paid by the state. Gnder the inspiration it would give we ought to have one thous¬ and young men ai the university in less than live years. t>. Fait The University Proper. —When the above demands are tilted there is #:!OJiOO left for the university proper. This is a small appropriation of #180,000, and every dollar of it is needed. Wit Ii this money new chairs can he established in the university, and the very best professors engaged. The university can be put on a level with the University of Virginia, and would do more to' formulate thought and advance southern intellect than can ho measured in words. With the in¬ come the university now lias the addi¬ tion of #.‘10,(500 would give a total in¬ come of about #55,000, a very moderate sum for the work it must do if it tills tlie demand of the future. It, will be seen from the above that ev¬ ery phase The of higher education is provi¬ ded that for. it needs, to university double its will faculty get and all Technological raise the grade school of scholarship—the will ho amply en¬ dowed and will increase its efficiency— a first-class industrial school for girls will be established and maintained— the agricultural splendid station will scientists be provided with a corps of and experimental farms the established in ev¬ ery section of state—each congres¬ sional district will have its branch col¬ lege abundantly the endowed—and I.'ts young men, each prize scholar of his county, will he educated and main¬ tained at'the university at expense of the state. This makes n complete and thorough system of higher education that in live years would put Georgia in advance of any other southern state. studied Chancellor Hoggs, who has carefully the plan, and who, indeed, is mainly responsible the for it, says: “It will be grandest day the south has seen in twenty years when tlie leg¬ islature passes such a Hill and the gov¬ ernor signs it. It, will put Georam in the van of the south, and she will hold her position. opening It means everything. It means the of our mines and quarries. It means the development of physical of interests. agriculture It and means the prog¬ ress our a new era in farming. It means the practical edu cation of onr girls and giving them lion orable independence. It means a branch college in every district. It means a magnificent the whole university. And struggling it means the youth of the state for prize scholarships, which shall make the only aristocracy known to our people.” “The state can stand it?” dollar “Stand it? Why, I am assured not a ) of extra tax will he needed. Dr. j is Felton confident Ims given the State it great road thought.

A Supposition hr to What Eller! it Would Have Upon the Farmer*. Just suppose if every farmer, white and black, in the state of Georgia, were provided with and maintained properly two gooAjirceding sows of select native stock, and every ten ad joining farmers between them owned a good Berkshire or Jersey hoar? The bare supposition is pleasant to ponder over. This is not a bad apportionment (is it?)—two breed¬ ing sows to every plow. It might he, urged that if there were one good breeding sow to every plow in the state, and if they were well managed, we would soon see a marked improvement in agricultural but let hold matters. the This first may be true, us to suppo¬ sition, and provoke discussion, if possi¬ ble, among the readers of this page. Gan the farmers of stand Georgia raise all of the bacon that they in need yearly? If they cannot, what is the reason? On page oil, February propounded 1875, Southern Cultivator, we the same question that we do now: ••Shall we raise, hogs?” Fourteen years have come and gone since.we lirst asked the question, ami the status of Georgia farming of to-day justifies its repetition then. in Bight the same spirit let that it was put here, the farmer renders of this column con¬ stitute themselves a club for the dis cussion of this question.

Let us discuss Iho advantages of the intensive system in hog raising, when every farmer with one, two, or at most three, good sows will raise for himself and dependents a bountiful bacon, supply cured shoulders of sweet, and healthful hams, nicely pickled nicely pork, the and sweetest purest lard, to say nothing of the pigs’ feet pickled, the soucc and sausage mid tongues, and the barbecued pigs from time to time during the year, and the satisfaction of knowing that your meat was Let good lind and untainted. the best us out very way to manage two or three sows to get the most profit from them, how to feed them to the best advantage, the best sheltering for them, protection from vermin and disease, and the best all the year round pasture, how little corn we can get along under with, and the providing of pure water varying conditions.
