AA ITII GEORGIA'S FARMERS.
Albany Herald: Most of the farmers in

cane and making their syrup.
Some farmers in Macon county have
money to loan. These farmers are the
ones who raise hogs, cattle, corn, peas and
oats. They raise some cotton, too, but it
is a surplus crop.
Tifton Gazette: Col. Bass, an Ash
burn law'yer and farmer, tells the Gazette
that he ground three stalks of cane last
Saturday that yielded two and a quarter
gallons of juice. He didn’t produce the,
juice, but those who doubt can go argue
it out with him.
Weekly Madisonian: Clay Settles brought
in a big two-mule wagon load of fine sweet
t*otatoc>s a few days ago, and found ready
sale for them. Clay Is one of the farmers
whom hard times does not hurt so badly.
He reverses the usual order of things. In
stead of coming to town to buy, he comes
to sell.
Spring Place Jimplecute: Our farmers
are going more extensively into the culti
vation of wheat and other cereal crops
every year. The fact is fast dawning upon

idly on the decline. A farmer with full
smoke houses, cribs and granaries is in
in his pocket.

ed a couple of hogs the other day that af
forded more meat than he can dispose of
in many months. One of them weighed
415 pounds and the other 463 pounds.
He got, from the twain, forty
gallons of lard. This beats 4 cents cotton
all to death, and there should be an in
crease In the number of swine raised.
Cordele Sentinel: Mr. Howard Brown of
the Seventh district of this county is one
of Dooly's small farmers who live at home
and board at the same place. He runs
only two plows, and besides raising about
fifteen bales of cotton, he has 200 gallons
of syrup, potatoes enough to last till po
tato time next year, more than corn
enough to do him, with meat enough to
lost him two years. No hard times at his
house!
Montezuma Record: A farmer from
near Unadilla has sold twenty bales of
his present crop of cotton at Montezuma
and -ays that he made about one hundred
and forty dollars by bringing the cotton to
our town. The twenty bales referred to
were ginned and packed within three hun
dred yards of a cotton warehouse at Una
dilla. 'Twas ever thus. Montezuma buy
ers always pay the very top price for the
staple.
TO GIVE THEM A AA ARM WELCOME.
Methodist of South Georgia Confer
ence to Aleet at Hawklnsvllle.
Hawklnsville, Go., Dec. 3.—The Metho
dists of this city are prepared to give the
South Georgia conference a warm wel
come. The Methodists were the first de
nomination to build a church in Hawkins
ville, their church here having been in
corporated in the year 1831. Since those
<arly days the growth of the church has
been steady, until it now has a member
ship of 300. Of these 116 have been acqui
sitions made in tbe past two years un
der the present pastor. The church pre
sented to the conference last year a report
showing every assessment paid in full—a
good record for a church which had just
built and furnished anew church edifice
and contemplated the erection of anew
parsonage.
The conference will bring to our city the
Methodist preachers of ali Southern Geor
gia, as its limits are the Florida line on
the south and Augusta and Columbus on
the north. Its members number about 300,
hut Hawkinsville has thrown wide her
doors and will give the ministers and dele
gates a royal welcome and such entertain
ment as >nly Hawkinsville can give. The
members of the other denominations have
generously come to the aid of thetr Metho
dist brethren and offered to assist in en
tertaining the preachers; so no one need
fear that Hawkinsville will not even out
do her old-time hospitality and wtn new
laurels by the manner in which she will
entertain her guests.
The trains will be met by the reception
committee and the ministers and delegates
personally cared for by the committee.
Other committees have been appointed,
and everything will be in readiness for
the convening of the conference.
The conference will be presided over by
Bishop R. K. Hargrove and the |>eople
of the city are looking forward with much
pleasure to hearing his sermon. It goes
without saying that the sermons to be
heard during the conference will bo only
of the highest order, and that it will be
more than an intellectual treat to listen to
them. The city will undoubtedly be crowd
ed with visitors to hour the distinguished
pulpit orators who will then be here.
Among the distinguished visitors and
divines who will be here during the con
ference, will be Dr. Young J. Allen, forty
years a missionary to China; Dr. H. if.
Dußose, who delighted his large audience
here when he preached our last Chautau
qua sermon, and who is now the general
secretary of the Kpworth League und edl-

THE STRANGE VELVET BEAN.
From n Curiosity It Hun Grown to He
nn Article of Commerce.
Orlando, Fla., Dec. 3.—The wonderful
growth of the cultivation of the velvet
bean tn Florida during the past four years
is possibly without a parallel in the his
tory of farming operations in the United
Slates. Up to 1891. tire writer, who lias
been a resident of Florida for twenty
years had never seen as much as a quart
measure full of these beans at any one
time.
The bean was cultivated by ladies on
screens and trellises as an ornament, be
cause of its rapid and enormous growth
and the odd looking blossoms and clusters
of pods ot beans. No one thought of mak
ing any other use of the plant or the
beans. If any old fence or unsightly dead
tree was to lie covered this bean would do
the work thoroughly and well, and in less
time than any other known plant. The
vines from a single plant would run along
a fence for fifty feel, and the field of short,
velvety pods was enormous. But it was
with the utmost difficulty that the beans
could be shelled from the pods. Other va
rieties will readily loosen as the pods dry.
But with this bean, the dryer they get the
more difficult they are to shell out.
About 1894 someone tried n few in an
orange grove between the rows of trees as
a shade to the ground. The result was
marked. The foliage formed a heavy mulch
ull over the surface and the orange trees
seemed to thrive on the decaying leaves.
It was found that when cooked or ground
in the pod, the bean was greedily eaten by
stock of all kinds and poultry.
Analysis were made, and the result
showed them rich in fat producing proper
ties. Then inventive genius was invoked
and various machines were devised for sep
arating the beans from the pods. These
have been successful, and now the beans
have become a regular article of com
merce. After being shelled stock will eat
the dry pods with avidity, even after they
have lain on the ground for three or four
weeks.
They have become a regular crop In
this part of the stale, as much ns corn
or sweet potatoes, and farmers raise them
by the hundreds of bushels. Hon. John
G. Sinclair, a former New Hampshire pol
itician of considerable fame, this year
planted nearly fifty acres. He has just
contracted to furnish one house with 500
bushels, and thinks this will be about half
of his crop. The attention of the depart
ment of agriculture has been attracted by
this new applicant for popular favor, and
that bureau recently purchased a carload
of the l>eans. It looks as if this plant
has come to stay, and will prove a boon
to the farmers of the South. At present
the cleaned beans are selling at about $1
per bushel. But for ground feed for stock
the trouble of shelling can just as well be
saved. About three bushels of beans in
the pod will make one of cleaned beans.
It Is probable that the crop of Orange
county this year will reach 20,000 bushels.
