ECZEMA-"™*® This most aggravating and tormenting of all skin diseases is caused by an acid condition of flr Jft the blood, and unless relieved through certain instrumentalities too much of this acid poison reaches the skin and it becomes red and inflamed. The itching and burning are JBjgygfr almost unbearable, especially when overheated from any cause. The skin seems on fire, sleep or rest is impossible, the desperate sufferer, regardless of consequences, scratches until strength is exhausted. This burning, itching humor appears sometimes in little pustules, discharging a sticky fluid, which forms crusts and scales. Again the skin is dry, hard and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds and scabs over. WL jlMrwf ifiSS 4 This is a painful and stubborn form of the disease. While Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and many like troubles are spoken of as diseases of Ara the skin, they are really blood diseases, because THERE CAN BE HO EXTERNAL IRRITATION WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE. If the blood is in a pure, healthy condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin. Ci’ \ m External applications of washes, lotions and salves sometimes mitigate the itching and soothe the inflammation, but cannot reach the disease. Only S. S. S., the real blood medicine, can do this. S. S. S., the only purely vegetable remedy known, is a safe and permanent cure for Eczema and all deep-seated blood and akin troubles. It goes direct to the seat of the disease, neutralizes the acids and cleanses the blood, re-inforces and invigorates all the organs, and thus clears the system of all impurities through the natural channels; the skin relieved, all inflammation subsides, and all signs of the disease disappear.

You will remember that the special functions of food are to renew the Wastes of the body aud to provide ma teral for growth in the young and grow ing animal, and also to furnish heat and energy. The animal must provide for these out of the digestible matters in the ration of food furnished to it, the indigestible parts are of no value. The question which now concerns us is how mu:h shall we feed our stock of the different kinds of foods we have analyzed. You know yourself that when you are hard at work you require more food, and richer food, than when you are idle. Nature calls for it, aud it is not different with your horse or mule; he requires more nutriment when at work than when standing in the stall. When at work he uses up the tissues of the boiy and protein or car bohydrates in his food are needed to rebuild those, else he will grow poor and weak; ev “ whou at rest he re quires a certain amount of nutriment to maintain the normal heat of the body aud carry du the process of the vital functions, but not so much, and if fed as much the disposition will be to grow fat In the case of the cow giving milk, she requires focd adapted to the pro duction of milk; she is a wonderful ma chine for converting fat, carbohydrates aud protein into milk, the protein of the food goes to make the casein of the milk, the fat of the food to make cream or butter, end the carbohydrates to make milk sugar and also fat; so she re quires generous feeding just as much as (he horse at hard labor.and even more so if sue is to maintain a generous flow of milk and at the same time maintain her own normal weight. If you don’t give her food enough or food of the proper kind she will begin to make milk from the tissue* of her own boiy, then she will become thiu, aud then the flow of milk will be checked add its quality will deteriorate. Thus it is important to know how mtteh as well as what to feed, so that we shall not waste by giving more than is required nor starve by underfeeding or feeding the wrong kind of food, for an animal can be surely though slowly starved by feeding an abundance of carbohydrates aud an insufficiency of protein or vice versa. To enable us to calculate the proper rations for animals at work and animals at rest, for grow ing and mature animals, for milk cows aud fattening animals, a great number of experiments have been made, and the tables of Wolff, a celebrated German experimenter, have been most widely followed. I give them below: Wolff's Feeding Standards—Pounds Per Day Per 1.000 Pounds Live Weight. I Total | tigs:- Diges. Dices- I Dry i table C’t'hy title Lbs. 1 Lbe. Lbs. Lbs.

In order to show the use of the above tables let us calculate the ration for a milk cow. Let us suppose we have ou baud peavine hay, green rye fodder, corn meal and wheat bran. Referlng to the table we find Wolff recommends 24 pounds dry matter, 2|£ pounds digesti ble protein, 12}£ pounds digestible car bohydrates and 410 pouud fat. Now, f referlng to the table in the last letter, we find cowpea hay contains 89.3 pounds per 100 of dry matter. Then 1 pound will contain .893 of a pouud dry matter and 12 pounds will contain 12 times 893, or 10.71 pounds dry matter. Now set this down in a column to it self. Next we see by the table that oowpea hay contains 10.79 per cent, di gestible protein. Then 1 pound would contain . 1079, aud 12 pounds would con tain 12 times as much, or 1.29 pounds digestible protein. Set this result down in another column to itself. In like manner we find that 1 pound contains .884 digestible carbohydrates. There fore, 12 pounds contain 4.til pounds, and also 1 pound of the hay contains .0151 of fat. Therefore, 12 pounds contain .17 of a pound, each of which is set down in a separate column to itself. Now in like manner calculate the dry matter in 20 pounds of green rye fodder. You will find it to be 4.68 pounds. Set this under the dry matter in the peavine hay, and so on with the protein and carbohydrates aud fat in the rye fodder. Then take 4 pounds of corn meal and 4 pounds of wheat bran and persue ex actly the same course, and when you are through you ought to have a table like this: Dry Pro- Carbo- Matter, tein. hydrates. ral ’ 12 lbs. pea hay . 10.71 1.29 4.61 .17 20 lbs. rye fodder 4.68 0.41 2.83 .08 4 lbs. corn meal. 3.40 0.28 2.61 .13 4 lbs.wheat bran 3.54 0.48 1.65 .11 40 22.33 2.46 11.69 .49 There, you see, you have almost the theoretical standard set by Wolff. It is a little short, however, in carbohy drates and dry matter, and, if you wish,; you can add 2 pounds cotton-seed hulls, which, when you have calculated it out and added (he results to the proper col umns, will increase the dry matter to 24.11 pounds and the carbohydrates to 12.31 pounds, but will only add .03 to the fat, making it .52 of a pound, and will not quite add 1-100 to the protein. So with this addition you have a practi cally theoretical ration for a cow of 1,000 pounds’ weight giving milk. You will see by reference to the table that she requires almost as rich and,nour ishing food, per 1,000 pounds’ weight, as a heavily worked ox; that is because she is producing milk, as well as main taining the body heat and carrying on the vital functions. Suppose, however, your cow only weighs 800 pounds in stead of J,OOO, you can economize by giving her SO per cent of each of the food stuffs, or 9 6-10 pounds of pea hay and 16 pounds of rye fodder and so on. It is not to be understood that a ration will not answer which does not strictly coincide with Wolff’s standards. These standards are a guide to help to ra tional feeding, and a reasonably close approximation to them is what is de sired. The intelligent feeder will of course continue to use his common sense, judgment and observation. Thus dif ferent cows show a different capacity to appropriate food and differ in the amount of milk produced when in full flow. Again while a strict adherence to the standard might produce the greatest amount of milk say, yet a de parture from it might, under certain conditions, yield a better money return, on account of variations in the price of feed stuffs. Os course judgement and common sense must always guide, but other things being equal a balanced ra tion is of course to be always preferred. A ration is said to be “balanced” when the dry matter, the protein, carbohy drates aud fat, are mixed together in the proportions given by Wolff’s stand ards and to be unbalanced when it va ries considerably irom those propor tions. There is always more latitude allowed for variation in the “dry mat ter” than in the other ingredients; a ration may vary several pounds in dry matter when made up from different food stuffs and yet have approximately thedesi:ed relation between the pro tein and carbohydrates. The protein may vary say in the ration for a milk cow from 2.20 pounds to 2.6 and still be called a balanced ration, the carbohy drates from 12 to 14 pounds and the fat from .4 to 1.00 ponnd in the dairy cow ration and still be considered a bal anced ration. Still the experience of the most successful feeders is that nearer the ration approaches the stand ard, other things being equal, the bet ter the results You will find both profit and intel lectual exercise in figuring out balanced rations for your stock in long evenings when you have nothing else to do. I will help you figure one more ration for your dairy cow and then leave you to do your own figuring for the future. Let us suppose you are caught with out any hay or green food at all and only have an hand cotton seed meal, cotton seed hulls and corn and cob meal. Pursuing the same plan as min utely described before, you will have: Dry Pro- Matter tein Carb. Fat 15 lbs. corn and cob meal P. 33 .03 4.64 .25 12 lbs Cotton seed hulls 10.19 .78 6.75 .34 4.5 lbs C.S. Meal.. 4.13 1.67 .74 .57 27.65 2.51 12.13 1.16 This ration, you will see, made from entirely different materialsis about as well balanced as the first; it is, how ever, lacking in the succulent appetiz ing green fodder of the first. So if you happen to have on the farm some roots, ’ turnips, rura bagas or carrots, add 4 or 5 pounds of these to the day’s ration, to stimulate appetite and promote good digestion. The cow will appreciate it as much as you would your turnip salad at dinner, although there is but lithe nourishment in them in the way of dry matter, protein, eic. One important point: please do not forget the rations must be carefully weighed at least one time. You can provide yourself with some cheap boxes or measures which, when filled, will hold just so many pounds of the different feed stuffs, so that if you take some pains to carefully guage them with a pair of hand scales the first time you weigh out a new ra tion, after that you can measure it out.

To Commissioner of Agriculture, At lanta, Ga.: Dear Sir—Will you kindly tell me the number of pounds or nitrogsn, phos phoric acid aud potash contained in a ton of cotton seed, and in a ton of cot ton seed meal and the price of same per ton. I want to know if a farmer can afford to sell seed at 22 cents per pound and buy meal at $22 per ton aud haul each 5 miles. Colonel Redding says “the farmer who uses cotton seed as a fertilizer is acting very much against his own interest.’* I want to do some figuring for myself. Yours truly, J. D. Myricr. Atlanta, March 3, 1900. To Mr. J. D. Myrick; Dovedale, Ga.: Dear Sir—Your letter of March 1 received. The state chemist informs me that a ton of cotton seed ou an av erage contains 62.6 lbs. nitrogen at 13%c per lb $8 34 25.4 lbs. phos. acid at 3%c per lb 89 23.4 lbs. potash at 4,V 4 c per lb 99 (10 12 Also that a ton of cotton seed meal contains: 36 lbs. nitrogeu at 13Hc per lb. ....$lB 13 57.6 lite. phos. acid at 3%c per 1b.... 202 35.4 lbs. potash at 4)4 c per lb 1 50 Total valuation s2l 65 In other words, a ton of meal is worth for manurial value alone $11.53, a ton more than a ton of seed. At 22 cents per bushel, counting 67 bushels to a ton, your seed will bring you $14.74 a ton, leaving $4.62, which the manu facturer has paid you for the oil over and above the value of the fertilizing elements, or at the rate of 11|£ cents a gallon for the oil before it is pressed. The oil has no fertilizing value what ever, and in point of fact is a drawback, retarding the decomposition of the seed in the soil and rendering the manurial matter in them less available. Now if you are wise you will buy meal on that basis; buy youiL own acid and potash and mix to this formula: Muriate of potash 20 pounds Acid phosphate 281 pounds Cottonseed meal 280 pounds Total 581 pounds Or if you desire use 100 pounds of kanit in place of 20 pounds of muriate of pot* ash. Some very successful farmers do not think that too much to use per acre; if you think it extravagant, use as much as your judgment aud circumstances will authorize. You would be still wiser if you keep stock to feed the cotton seed meal to them and carefully save all the manure, liquid and solid; and probably the best way to do this is by penning tiie cattle on the land to be manured until you figure that you have fed them about 300 pounds of meal per acre, and then move your pen to fresh ground. Then when you come to plant this piece of ground in cotton, put on 2(W or 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 20 pounds of muriate or (100 pounds kanit) per acre, the ammonia having already been put on by the cattle. In this way you will not lose over 10 per cent of the fertilizing matter in the meal, and you will get all the flesh forming and fat forming matter of your cottonseed meal eonverted into beef, butter and milk. Depend upon it my friend, this is the “royal road” to wealth and prosperity for the southern farmer, and those who keep in the “middle of the road” will get there first and quickest.

PLANTING BROOM GORN IT THRIVES BEST ON THE LAND WHERE OUR NATIVE CORN GROWS BEST. PREPARATION OF THE SOIL It Must Be 'Well Broken and Ma nured Seed Make Good Feed When Mixed With Oats. Dear Sir—We have your favor ask ing information in regard to broom corn, and we reply as follows: This plant is a variety of “sorghum” and a native of the East Indies. The introduction of this plant is attributed to Dr. Franklin, who, finding a seed on a whisk-broom that had boen imported, planted it, and from this originated the culture of “broom corn” in the United States. The average product of brush per acre is about 500 pounds. There has been produced from very flue soil and locality as high as 1,000 pounds per acre. As there seems to be no substi tute for broom-corn brush, there is always a demand for it, and it is a crop that can be easily cultivated. It is a profitable one for the farmers to raise in those sections to which it is well adapted. The seed makes a very good feed for horses when mixed with oats. It is also a fine food for poultry, after the chicks are two or three weeks old, whan fed with other food. When groutid with our common Indian corn in -pzo portion to three bushels of broom-Corn to one of Indian corn, it makes good food for cattle, hog* or sheep. Generally speaking, broom-corn grows best where our native corn grows best, and the preparation of the land is simi lar to that for corn. Good river or branch bottom land is best suited to this plant; but any good land, well drained, will, with barnyard manure or a good fertilizer, make a good yield. The bet ter plan is to broadcast the manure, plow and harrow the same so as to pul verize the soil thoroughly. Plant in the drills or in hills. The rows may be from three to four feet, according to the variety to be grown; the dwarf varieties in three-feet rows and the larger varieties in four feet rows. The hills may be two or three feet apart. When the seed are sound and well ripened two quarts will be sufficient to plant one acre. Be'sure to get good seed. Yon can use the saed drills that will plant small seed, or if only a few acres are to be planted, you can plant with the hand. The cultiva tion is similar to that of corn, only you have to use more care and skill because I of the smallness of the plant. Thinning should be done when the plants are two* or three inches high, leaving five or six in the hill, or if drilled, the stalks should be left three or four inches apart. The time of harvesting will depend upon the use to be made of the crop. When you plant only for the broom I corn brush, you may cut much earlier than when the seed is one of the objects sought. When the blossoms begin to fall, you may begin your harvesting, that is, if the brush is the object sought The quality of the brush is better when cut on the green order, for the reason that it makes the straw tough and gives it a live color, and accordingly com mands a fetter price in the market. Before harvesting it is customary to break down the stalks, turning down the tops of the stalks of two rows to wards each other, thus leaving a vacant place for the laborer to work in cutting. The stalks aro broken about three feet above the ground, and when the stalks of two rows are turned towards each other, the stalks of one row will cross those of the other in such a manner as the tops will project about a foot on each side. Each two rows are then broken in the same way until the crop has been finished. This will leave a space through which the harvester can pass in cutting the brush, which is usually done immediately after the crop is broken. The dwarf varieties do not re quire the breaking process, as the stalk is low and the bunch is not so long and heavy. Cut the brush so as to leave only 8 or 10 inches of the stalk below it and no leaves. These should be laid in small bundles as cut and then gathered up and placed under shelter. It is best not to cure it in the sun. Do not allow any rain to fall on the brush after cut ting. Cure in the shade, under shelter if possible. When extensive crops are ! grown special barns are built for this 1 purpose, with extensive shelving, so that the air can pass through the brush, that it may not mold or be damaged. Where the brush is harvested green the seed is generally separated from it be fore curing. This is done with a hand machine made for the purpose. It can also be done by the grain threshing ma- Dr. Hathaway Treats All Diseases. L.

The broom corn stalk, when cut at the proper time, makes a fairly good coarse forage and compares favor ably with corn stalk forage. In preparing the broom corn brush for market, it can either be baled in the com mon cotton press or in a press for baling hay. When the brush is baled in this way it can be much more easily han dled and marketed. The prices for same range from 5 cents to 9 cents per pouud, according to quality.

I have on hand for sale a part of this glorious country, consisting of Farms, Stores. City Resi dences, Building Lots, Gold Mines, and, in short, every kind of Real Estate that a man or wman may desire for a happy home or a com fortable living. On account of the stagnation of business during ’96 and ’97, and as a result of the war with Spain prices reached their lowest notch. Prospects are now much brighter, bus iness is looking up, and I believe now is a good time to invest. I can still sell at lowest prices. I have a large number of Building Lots that I am selling at low prices and on small pay ments, putting it in the reach of all to buy. I have been in this business a long time, many of you have dealt with me, and I propose to continue to act for the interests of beth buyers and sellers I ask all who desire to buy, or have property they want to sell, to call on me or write to me. I will benefit you either way. <J. DOZIER, Real Estate and Insurance, No. 1 State Bank Building, GAINESVILLE, GA. Very Different. When General Grant was in Paris the president of the republic, as a special token of respect, invited him to a place on the grand stand to witness the great racing which occurs in that country on Sunday. It is considered a discourteous act to decline such an invitation from the head official of the republic. Such a thing had never been heard of, but General Grant, in a polite note, declined the honor, and said to the French presidents “It is not in accordance with the custom of my country or with the spirit of my religion to spend Sunday in that way.” And when Sabbath came that great hero found his way to the American chapel, where he was one of its quiet worshipers. —The Presbyterian. A Massachusetts girl, working for a gun manufacturing company, suffered the loss of a finger while operating a machine. She sued for damages, alleging that the loss of the finger injured her chances of marriage. The jury gave her a ver dict for 81,600. With a check for that amount in her pocket she will no doubt be able to find several Massachusetts youths who would be willing to marry her.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston’s Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. **DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.” A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is “that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh. ” “I wish, Doctor," said the traveling man, “that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and lam thoroughly discouraged. ” The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. “I believe,’* continued this great physician, “that the true way to heal ca tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers.” Betsy A. Mareft, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:—For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston’s Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. 1 kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston’s Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head aches to use your Sarsaparilla. MICHIG AIV DB.U& COMPA TV VT , XSUTK.OXT, MICH.
