Blood Poison Cured.
Thers is no doubt, according to
the many remarkable cures perform¬
ed by Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B.

and Blood Purifier ever manufactur¬
ed. All others pale into insign¬
ificance, when compared with it.
It cures pimples, ulcers, skin diseas¬
es, and all manner of blood and
skin ailments. Buy the best, and

substitutes. Try the long tested

A Bad Case Cured.
Three years ago I contracted a
blood poison. I applied to a phy-
sition at once, and his treatment
came near killing me. I employed
an old physician and then went to
Kentucky. I then went to Hot
springs and remained two
months. Nothing seemed to cure
me permanently, although tempo¬
rary relief was given me. I return¬
ed home a ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of eve«- get¬
ting well. I was persuaded try
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.,)
and to my utter astonishment it
quickly healed ever ulcer.

Solution of the Negro Question.
It has recently been announced
that the negroes of the south arc
turning from land tenure to wage
earning. Not on the plantations.
The movement is from the planta¬
tions to the mir.es and still more to
the towns. One million negroes
are already in the towns of the south
above 4,0001*11 population, and this.
it is predicted, is the first long step
on the way to the cities of the north
A vast urban proletariat is about to
be created. The black belt is to be
vacated. The black emigrant will
pass out, and the white immigrant
will come in. This through no
compulsion. The black tenant far-
mer is a failure. He seeks to better
his condition. He is capable only
of mere muscle work. The mines
want him, and still more the cities
want him ; hence, the north wants
him, for in the north are the great
cities cities. The 1 ne line line of 01 least least resistance resistance
for the colored man lies away from
the plantations, partly for social,
but mainly for economic reasons.
Thus by a voluntary and econo-
mic displacement and diffusion of
the negro the race problem of the
south will he solved, and a new
agricultural black belt will be se¬
cured. No new race problem will
be given to tlie north, because in
no one place is the negro likely ' to
reach a dominant , percentage. 1 he
negro in anything under 12 per cent
diffusion will create no race diffi-
culty. Moreover, the negro is best
leveled up industrially and
wise when he has the maximum of
contact with the white man’s higher
standards. So this change is best,
not only for the south, but for the
negro and for the entire country,

Uiaertnt Vnrletlas of Cow Pom for Dir-
fore«t I’srpsiMt
Qcestion. —Please tell me what you
consider the best variety of cow peas
for hay, also for turning under, and for
the other uses to which this crop is put.
Of the 50 odd varieties raised, I suppose
a good many posses the same character*
istics. What I wish to know is the
principal varieties and their uses.
Answer.— The selection of the va¬
riety for planting should be determined
by the use for which the crop is de¬
signed. If a heavy yield of hay is the
principal object, the more vigorous and
late maturing upright varieties, such as
clay, utikuown and whipporwiil, should
be ipsed. Of these the uukuown is cer¬
tainly one of the best, but if to be out
for hay should not be planted too early.
as it dually becomes so trailing as to be
difficult to cut with a machine, aud it
produces less seed when it has too long
a season for growth.
If the crop is to be pastured, or is to
be left to decay through the winter on
the surface of the ground, trailing va-
rieties should be used; the unknown. ;
«»* »ud r, th
best. For this purpose they should be
planted as early as possible.
For stock peas, black, clay, speckled
crowder and uukuown have given ns

the best.
One of the common methods of grow¬
ing peavines is to plant them between

is secured which costs absolutely noth-
iug except for the seed aud sowing, and
which m *y be relied u p 011 for a cousid-
®rable amount of seed and grazing, and
at the same time will make a cheap aud
effective fertilizer for the succeeding
crop. In some cases the peas aud corn
have been planted at the same time, in
alternate hills, but we have rarely found
the practice economical. If running va¬
rieties are used they tie cornstalks to¬
gether so as to materially reduce the
yield of the grain, while if dwarf varie¬
ties are used they are so shaded by the
com as to make but little growth.
When plauted between the rows in
June or July they begin their rapid
growth after the corn begius to ripen,
aud the ooru crop is gathered before the
vines are large enough to be trouble-
some. When a crop of peas is grown in
this way it cannot well oe cut for nay.
bnt wiU usually make a good yield of
seed, and will afford a large amount of
most excellent grazing tor either cattle
or hogs. For such late grazing the
black aud the red ripper are among the
best varieties, as the peas will lie on the
K roand a long time without injury.—

How to Toughen Paper.
A plan for rendering paper as tough
as wood or leather, it is said, has been
recently introduced on the continent. It
consists in mixing chloride of zinc with
the pulp in the course of manufacture,
It has been found that tbo greater the
degree of concentration of the zinc solu-
tion the greater will be the toughness
of the paper.

Fertiliser For Potatoes.
Question.— Please give mo a good
fertilizer for my potatoes, and will the
same formula do for my early cabbages 7
Answer.— A good fertilizer for pota¬
toes should contain about 12 per cent of
potash, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid,
and 3 per cent of nitrogen. For cab¬
bages, 8 per cent of potash, 8 per cent
of phosphoric acid and 9 per cent of ni-
trogen. We have here illustrated the
P” uci P le .* bat different crops while
they require the same elements, need
these in different proportions. Were
you to use the cabbage formula for your
potatoes you would perhaps have vig-
orous plants with luxuriant foliage aud
b n t f ew tubers. The large amount of
ammonia would stimulate a vigorous
growth above ground, while the proper-
tion of potash and phosphoric acid is
no t sufficient to form any considerable
number of potatoes. On the contrary
cabbages are gross feeders and require
heavy applications of nitrogen with
smaller doses of potash and
acid.—State Agricultural Department.

into the soil and perform a wonderful
work there. To aid in its even distri-

centage of lime.—State Agricultural
