How many women feel equnl to a dive l>elow the watery deep ? How many of them have the nerve for it ? Very few. Almost every woman suffers from a weakened condition of the mu cous membrane that lines her body and thissaps her vitality and energy. She is filled with nervous terrors and does not find life worth living. She is t,old she has dyspepsia or “female weakness” when in reality nothing ails her but catarrh or in flammation of the delicate lining of her organs. She needs Pe-ru-na and nothing else. It is the only medicine nec essary to restore her strength. What’s the use of dragging through life half alive when Pe-ru-na will bring back all its pleasure? This medicine is a tonic for the whole body, and there is no doubt at all but that you need it, for it is the one real cure for all troubles. Nurse—'’Listen, Baby, to the donkey braying.

The blood has been poisoned by the accumulation ol waste matter in the system, and can no longer supply the pure and health sustain* ing food they require. The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison ; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition will the aches and pains cease. Mrs. James Kell, of 707 Ninth street, N. R- Washingtou, D. C.,writes as follows: “A feat months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheum* tiara in its wont form. The pain was so intense that I became completely pros trated. The attack was as unusually severe one, and my condition was regard ed as being very danger ous. I was attended by one of the most able doc tors in Washington, who is also a member of the fac ulty of a leading medical college here. He told me to continue his prescrip tions and I would get well. After having it filled twelve times without receiving the slightest benefit, I declined to continue his treatment ani longer. Having heard of 8. S. S.(Swift's Specific! recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair however to give the medicine a trial and after 1 had taken a few bottles 1 was able t« hobble around on crutches, and very soon there after had no use for them at all, S. S. S. having cured me sound and well. All the distressing pains have left me, my appetite ha« returned and I am happy to be again restored to perfect health. _ the great vegetable ^ ^ 1^^ purifier and tonic, is the ideal remedy in all rheumatic troubles.

GEORGIA JEAGH CROP SOMK VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS TO THE GROWER OK'THR LUCIOUS FRUIT. GRADING AND PACKING Method Practiced In Large Georgia Orchard—The NeceHolty of a Canuiug Factory. June 1st, IDOL JUNE TALK OP THE COMMISSIONER. As the peach orop has become one of the most important in Georgia, and as some peach-growers in oar state are uew at this business, some hints on this sub ject may porve helpful to many. The condition in whioh peaches reach the market and their adaptability for the fruit trade depend largely upon the manuer in whioh they are graded and packed. In some orchards no special preparations are made beforehand, and thore is no speoial organization for the work. Unskilled hands do the packing and through carelessness in the selec tion a few peaches, perhaps but slightly tainted, find their way into the crates, with the result that the whole mass be comes infected and the fruit rejected by the dealers is thrown back upon the hands of the shipper. Then we hear the oomplaint that there is uo money in peaches. But Provideuoe has never yet bestowed a gift upon a people for the handliug of whioh there could not be found some intelligent and hence sue oessful method. The orchards of Georgia have attrac ted such wide attention throughout the United States that we tiud them fre quently mentioned in periodicals de voted to farmiug and horticulture even in the distant north. In the Amerioau Agriculturist, pub lished in Springfield, Mass., and in New York nnd Chicago, Professor W. Johnson thus describes the method practiced in the orchards of J. U. Hale of Georgia. “The fruit is sorted into three grades and placed in long canvas trays arranged in compartments in front of the worker, about one foot above the ceuter of the table, with the packers on the opposite side. The peaches are classified intc three grades and then packed into car riers of six baskets eaoh. About IOC peaches of extra large size are packed in a carrier. The No. 1 size usually re quires from 120 to 150, while No. Stakes from 190 to 210. Peaches below thin size ore, as a rule, uot placed in oarriers. The frnit is carefully graded by experts, many of them being orange packer* from Florida. Every peach must be up to standard size, without blemish and in perfeot stage of ripeness before being placed in a basket. The general fore man of the packing shed keeps a very careful watch over all the fruit packed, and before the lid is nailed on a crate expert makes a full inspection, being sure that every peach is up to standard. If a single peach is found containing e bruise or a blemish of any kind, the on tire crate is returned to the packer and ns a penalty mast be repacked. “The fruit is handled mostly by white men and women, and expert packer! can pat up from 80 to 100 carriers pel day, the number depending largely upon the variety and amonnt of fruit being packed. Some experts pack from 175 tc 200 carriers a day, each person handling from 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of fruit, in addition to removing the baskets and middle tray of each carrier. ” Every well equipped orchard shonld have not only its packing house, bul also its canning factory, where thi peaches not selected for shipping noi reserved for home consumption can be put up in cans aud thus preserved until required for fall and winter use at the home or for sale in all the cities and towns, where there is always a demand for such goods. None of the fruit should be wasted, but the peaches not shipped or canned or consumed at home while fresh from the trees should be carefully dried and stored away for future use. For thii the evaporator is iu many respects supe rior to the old method. The fruit thu! dried looks whiter aud cleaner aud find* a readier sale than that dried by the snn, though some prefer the latter. Among the famous orchards of Geor gia are those of Messrs. Rumph, Stubbs, Gober and Miller. Save the Farm .Manure. The most important problem with horse manure is to prevent it from leaching. Some haul it to the field ai once aud spread it. During the croj season, while the growing plants al- ready have all the fertilizers needed foi them, this manure can be profitably used by spreading it upon the meadow! and pastures. In spreading manure when the fields are barn- :t must bo sc placed that rain will noli leach out the ammonia and other valuable materials. If the manure cannot be taken to the fields, a shed should be built in close proximity to the srable and so construct ed that the rains will not fall through it, and under this shed the manure •shonld be placed from day to day. Manure from cattle can be treated in the same way, though the matter ol keeping it from leaching is not so im perative. as it does not heat so readilv being ktfown os cold manure. For ibii reason It should uot be used for hot bed* and cold frames. Where beef cattle are stall-fed and iu lot or around a straw stack, when the auimals have been sent to market, the manure can be put upon a spreader and distributed over the fielda Some of these spreaders will distribute the finest com mercial fertilizer or the coarsest lot ma nure filled with unrotted straw and fod der. The work done by the spreader is far better than that done by hand. Concerning Huger Cane. In a compilation of the comparative value of field crops made by the Florida Experiment Station, Lake City, Florida, it is shown that sugar cane is by far the most prodnotive crop for that state, and that the next best paying orop is pea- Data Such also is the case on suoh South Georgia lauds as produce only one bale of cotton to three aores, nine and a half bushels of corn aud uiue of oats to the acre. But there are large stretches of very fertile laud in Middle and South Georgia which produoe a bale of cotton to the acre, from twenty- five to thirty bushels of coru and oats to the acre, and 300 bushels of potatoes. On lauds of this sort there is uot such a marked superiority of sngar cane over other crops. But with skillful manage ment it holds its owu with the best of them, and is superior to most of them. Therefore we conclude that sugar oaue is a great wealth producing crop and that its cultivation will aud greatly to the prosperity of the farmers of South ern Georgia as well as of our seaports, Savannah and Brunswick. These cities will need a large growth of the syrup and sugar industries to tuke the place of the lumber aud naval stores business which must grow less iu proportion as the great pine forests are exhausted. This may seem to rnauy a worn out theme, but the Department of Agricul ture, realizing the supremo importaucu of this great crop to the farmers of all South Georgia, feels that it will be ex cused for keeping this subjeot before the minds of those most interested. There are some very encouraging in dications of growth iu the syrup aud sugar industries. Oue of these is the fact mentioned by Colonel I. U. Wade, laud and industrial agent of the South ern railway, that iu Appling county, where two years ago only 100 acres were planted in sugar cane, there are now 1,600 acres devoted to it. Another is that a company of Illinois capitalists, believing that Georgia can produce al good sugar as Louisiana, has purchased over 50,000 acres of timber laud iu Clinch county, intending to saw out the lumber, and, after the land is sufficient* ly cleared, to build large sugar mill! and plant thousands of acres iu caue. Oue of the most indefatigable worker* in this cause is Captain D. G. Purse ol Savannah, and his efforts are heartily seconded by that liberal-minded journal, the “Louisiana Planter and Sugai Manufacturer,” which gives encourage ment to every scheme for the upbuilding of the entire Sonth. We are glad to see that other journals besides those ol Georgia are taking an interest in what so mnch pertains to the welfare of oat State. The establishment of a sugar experi ment station in the cane belt whioh wai recommended by the Brunswick con vention has met with strong endorse ment by the Brunswick Board of Trade, which offers to furnish 600 acres foi that pnrpose, and by the Macon Cham* ber of Commerce which also urges upon the Georgia legislature the passage of 1 law for preventing the adulteration ol Georgia syrup. This department is exceedingly anx ious to see Georgia come to the front in the sugar industry, without relaxing any of her zeal for the other crops that have been worth so much to her iu tha past. Georgia already takes high rank among her southern sisters in both ag rionlture and manufactures. We wish to see her in the frout rank in thu growth of every product for which hei soil is adapted. Nature has liberally endowed her, aud every true son of the state desires that she should make th< best use of her opportunities. Oats for Forage. The value of well-cured oat hay foi all kinds of farm stock, especially foi dairy cows aud sheep, is well kuowu. Some prefer to cut the oats for hay jus! as they are begiuuiug to bloom, while with some varieties it may be better tc begin a little earlier, wirh others a little later. It is better to leave the stubble! at least three or four inches Ipng. The treatment after cutting should be about the same as that for hay. Oat hay can be stacked out of doors, but it should be topped with some other grass. The cropi! safer, however, under a shed or in a barn. The only serious objection tc this feed is that rats aud mice are apt to damage it badly. A remedy against these pests is to stack the oats on a foun dation of poles or scantlings, so that cats aud dogs can get under it and de stroy the rata O. B. Stevens, Commissioner.
