The Past. Present and Futon.
The South, especially, has been
subjected to a fearful" strum during
the past few montha. First, the
financial depression, paralysing busi
ness ail over the country; then follow'
ed storm after storm, at Savannah,
Charleston, along the Carolina
at New Orleans, and along the
Louisiana and Miauasippi coasts,
destroying thousand* of prerfotu
lives and wiping oat millions of va’u*
able property; then the dreaded-yel
low fever, casting a gloom over a good
portion of the southern coast and
throwing its baleful shadow over
contiguous territory. Added to these
have beau the painful and hortfuj
uncertainties hanging about the ae
bon of the United State* Senate.
During all this terrible strain and
uncertainty, Senators—aome from the
moat selfish and sordid motives—have
blocked legislation which would have
relieved the situation by Ceaseless
gabble.
Verily, the time* are badly out of
joint. But the sunlight of prosperity
will again gladden and brighten this
snnny land. Tho "clouds will roll
by,” and the wheels of progress will
revolve again. Thia is a gnat coun
try, after all, and temporary depres
sions and disasters cannot check the
onward march of prosperity. If our
public men, the framers ot laws and
the moulders ot thought will be true
to the best interest of the people and
country, a new and brighter era of
prosperity will dawn all over thia
great republic.

Hon. Robvt&kitclitli’s Views.
Hon.- Robeit G. Mitchell,of Thomas
county, ex president ot the state Sen
ate, ia the latest gentleman brought
before the public as a proba
ble candidate for the governorship
Mr. Mitchell stands high in the
teem of Georgians. His record has
been one that commands him to all.
A fine soldier, a true Christian, a wise
legislator, and a warm friend to the
people, he would make a formidable
opponent to those now supposed to
be in the field.
In a long interview in the Coneiiiu
tion of yesterday Mr. Mitchell gives
full expression to his views on the
questions ot the hour. His remarks
are characterized by the candor that
has marked his entire political life.
He calls for tariff reform, the free
coinage of silver, the npeal of the 10
per cent, tax on banks, and the
tablishment of an income tax in
national legislation. In referring to
state issues, he says; “Let our legis
lators equalize taxes as far as possible
toster the public schools, take care of
the old veterans and the widows cf
veterans, pay their teachera promptly,
work tbe public roads aod make a
wise disposition of the convicts and
all will be well.”—Savannah Press.
The Cause.
A pl-in old farmer of Sumter coun.
ty writing to . the Americus Times-
Recorder gives bis views on the con-
dttion of the couulrv as follows:
“There is so much being said about
hard limes in the country and scarcity
of money, and as everybody has a
cause and a remedy, I thought, I
would tell your readers what I thiok

more than we produce. There is tco
much flour and bacon shipped here
every'year. .The things we ought to
make at home we are buying. .
“We let our timber rot and buy
our plow stocks, singletrees,vx handles,

Mtlledgeville,Ga., Uc\ 8.—Dr. W.
H. Hall, one of the most promicent
of Georgians, was buried here at 10
o'clock. He was at one time presi

was president of the Georgia board of
examiners for fifteen years, and a
member of the board of trustees of
the lunatic asyiuro,
He %a* regarded by people here as

And now the charge ia made that
the Nibraaka convention was “pack

of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Iowa, Maryland and other states
“packed” also, when they endorsed
Mr. Cleveland ? It is likely that
they were. They were packed by
the great body of the intelligent
masses who stand behind Grover
Cleveland in his fight for the masses
of the people for lower taxes, tariff
form and honest money. And other
states will be “packed” in the same
way. The great body ot the people
are engaged in this “packing” bu:

the following ordtr, which explains
itself:
Quarantine, Brunswick, Go,, Oct
9.—To the Public: The qonditiors
existing in Brunswick demand in
gatherings in churches, s«rcre» socities,
business houses and pu ihe gatherings
of every descript on, txcepi such as
are imperatively necessary to the
efficient management of the epidemic
viz; hotel*, eating houses, drug stores
and livi ry stables, be prohibited after
7p. m. each day. It is therefore
ordered that no such meeting or
jathenog be held, and that no buds
ness house remain op.n wi’h the
exceptions slated, after 7p.rn.1f each
day during- the continuance of the

The Washington Po6t thinks Mr.
Dart, of Brunswick, missed a gulden
opportunity wh§n he failed to invite
Editor Pruett, of Albany, to go down
to Brunswick and sit out the epidemic
with him, and thus settle their little
quarrel. In a duel of that kind the
combatant* would, indeed, be upon
an even footing.
Any action is better than the pres

gallons water.
For destruction of the tent caterpillar,
canker worm and bud moth, use the
Bordeax mixture, ono-haU strength with
Paris green, one pound to 150 gallons
just before the blossoms unfold, and for'
the same and the codttng moth as soon
as the petals have fallen.
Hake a third application of the Bor
deaux mixture and Paris green in about
two weeks from the time the petals fall,
should there have been heavy rains since
tbe last application, then use the ammo
niacal carbonate of copper one pound
50 gallons of water at intervals of from
two to four weeks, according to the
weather, until tbe middle of August.
We would recommend the trial of sul
phate of copper, one pound to 500 and
800 gallons of water after the middle of
June. Should no rain occur after the.
use of any fungicide or insecticide, no
further application need be made until
it does rain; but if the interval has been
long, spraying should immediately fol
low a heavy rain.
FOR THE PEAR.
For the pear scab leaf blight, and
sucking of the fruit and coddling moth,
the some treatment should be given as
for the apple, except that no Paris green
need be used until after the petals have
fallen, and only two applications of that
need be made.
If the pear tree psylla should appear,
spray the trees thoroughly with kerosene
emulsion, one part to twenty parts water.
fob the plum.
We would advise the same treatment
as given to the apple and pear, foT the
plum leaf blight, black wart and the
fruit rot. For the plum curculio use
the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength,
with Paris green one pound to 200 gal
lons. One application of pie ammoni-
acal carbonate of copper should be made
after the middle of August, to prevent
the rotting of the fruit and the leaf
blight.
FOR THU PEACH.
To destroy the plum curculio, spray
with the Bordeaux mixture, one-fourth
strength, and Paris green one pound to
200 gallons. For the fruit rot, spray
with the ammoniocal carbonate of cop
per, one pound to 60 gallons of water.
Try the sulphate of copper, one pound
to 100 gallons of water for the fruit rot.
FOR THE GRAPE.
Spray with the concentrated solution
of sulphate of copper ©very part of tho
vines and trellis before the buds unfold.
Just before the blossom buds unfold,
spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one-
half strength, with Paris green, one
pound to 100 gallons. As soon as the
petals have fallen, spray again with the
same; then at intervals of. about two
weeks use the ammoniacal carbonate of
copper, one pound to 25 gallons. Try
the sulphate of copper, one pound to 500
and ^00 gallons of water at the same in
tervals.
FOR RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY.
For the anthracnose of the blackcaps
and the yellow rust of the blackberry,
use the concentrated solution of sulphate
of copper before the buds open. Then
spray with the Bordeaux mixture one-
half strength, or the ammoniacal car
bonate of copper before the blossom buds
unfold, and two or three times after the
fruit has been gathered, at intervals of
two or three weeks. The first disease
attacks the canes principally, and more
attention in spraying should be given to
them than to the leaves.
BOR THE STRAWBERRY.
Spray with the Bordeaux mixture,
one-half strength and Paris green one
pound to 100 gallons for the leaf blight
and the ‘‘spotted paria,” as soon as
growth begins in the spring. Just be
fore tho blossoms open use the Bordeaux
mixture samo strength, but no Paris
green. After the fruit has been gath
ered Paris green and the Bordeaux mixt
ure should be used if the bed or field is
to be carried through another season.
FOR THE POTATO.
As soon as the larvm of the potato
beetle begin to appear, spray with the
Bordeaux mixture, one-half strenght,
and Paris green one pound to 100 gal
lons. Use the same mixture as often as
they appear in sufficient numbers to be
injurious. If the weather be warm and
moist, applications should be made at
intervals of from one to three weeks
after the vines Have blossomed, of the
Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength or
the ammoniacal carbonate of copper,
one pound to 50 gallons of witter, even
if there are no lame present. The sul
phate of copper one porqjd to 500 gal
lons should also be tried on a small scale
to test its value.
acid phosphate, 250 pounds muriate of
potash and 500 pounds of cotton seed

In our experiments we have. gener
ally attained bettor results from chemi
cal fertilizers than from stable manure.
The latter is too stimulating and heat
ing in its ch tractor, producing a rank
growth of leaves and runners at the ex
pense of tho fruit, while in case of
■drouth the plant will suffer and often
die. Strawberries require a cool, moist
soil}; therefore, any heating manures
must be avoided. ' The fertilizer experi
ment at the station-tho last season‘point
in the came direction,' highly ammo-
niated fertilizers produce, increase foli
age and runners, but when the fruiting
season began 'we. were disappointed in
the promise. We also' have observed
that wa obtain finer, firmer, more highly
colored and better flavored berries from
a fertilizer, containing a smaller percent
age of nitrogenous matter.
We can safely conclude that It is
within our ability, to a certain extent,
to force the growth of our plants, in a
certain direction by using the proper
fertilizer materials. But we must im
press the’ cultivator again with the
necessity of supplying a very liberal
amount of plant food if a large crop and
large berries is to be the result of our
endeavors.. The expense of labor in cul
tivating plants, etc., is the same On a
highly as a poorly cultivated soil, and as
cultivation is the only source of expense
after the bed is established, our failure
or success binges on a liberal supply of
plant food.
MULTCHING.
“The object qf multching is some
what different in colder countries than
in our latitude. There the plants are
thus protected from severe freezing and
repeated thawing in winter. In our lat
itude we multch to protect our plants
from the injurious effect of the hot sun,
and to keep the ground moist.” -
METHOD OF PLANTING.
In regard to planting there are two
methods—the hill and matted row sys
tem. For the best results, we avise
the former system, which occasions
larger results are obtained from the lat
ter. nevertheless more perfect fruit and
plants aro developed under the former,
and the crop is more assured. Plant 12*
to 15 inches apart in rows three feet,
and prevent spreading by keeping the
runners down.
This articlo is necessarily limited, and
those who desire to engage in strawberry
culture as an industry we would advise
the purchase of a good work on the sub
ject. The work of the station can- be
secured free by addressing R. J. Red
ding, Director, Experiment, Ga., and re

TRANSPLANTING TREES.
When is the best time to transplant
trees? Q.T.L
Trees can be successfully transplanted
either in tlie fall or spring, much de

Since the dispensary plan was pot
in operati m over in South- Carolina,
the Colonels of that state-—and most
of the citizens are Colonels—have to
rely on the soda fountains, and other
similar establishments for the Serf
fluid. They simply wink the left
eye when calling for ••lemon,” or
“si raw berry” sy rup, and the accommo
dating e’erk or proprietor, as the
case may be, catches on. The habit
of winking . has grown so strong that
men frequently wink at the deacons
in the churches, while the latter are
taking up collections. South Caro

man.in Edgefield district, when asked
by a neighbor's wife, with whom’he
wis dining, ifhe-“would take milk
in his coffee” involuntarily winked at
tbe lady. 1 The husband, who was of
a jealous deposition, resented the
familiarity, and it took the chronic
winker sometime to explain the mat
ter BAti'factorily. When you add to
the army of winkers the yonng men
who wink at the girls, it will be readi
ly seen that winking iu South Caro
lina ia almost universal. We might
mention, io connection with this sub
ject, the officials in that state who
wink at crime. However these are
few when compared to the whole
army of winkers.

In the October report of ’93 and the
July report of thia year you will find a
description of this fly, which is the horn
fly, also remedies. Tho following from
the Breeders’ Gazette contains further
information on the subject:
‘They worry cattle until they become
thin and weak and take special delight
massing by thousands and thousands
all over the entire body of weak and de
fenseless animals, ns these animals be
come powerless to oppose them. And in
another way tiiey will (or may) cause the
death of thousands of stock. It is in
this way : They eat or suck blood about
in spots on cattle—on the neck, dewlap,
back of tho shoulder blades and under
the belly of the animals. The spot*
when first discernible have a dry appear-
of tho cuticle, with the hair eaten
off short and stubby close to the skin, as
if burned off. These spots may be about
nickel or as large as a dol
lar, hut more of tener of the smaller or
intermediate size. The cuticle is next
eaten or dissolved away, and a raw,
bloody sore results, which the pest con
tinues to molest.”
One breeder has applied the following
mixture to the pests, and finds it knocks
them every time:
Take kerosene, spirits of tui-pentip©!
sulphur and "rysalic ointment and mix
them well and rub or sprinkle it on the
cows. I used it four weeks ago, and the
flies have not bothered the cows since.”
Yet another former has sprayed upon
his herds a strong kerosene mix*
found it effective.
MITES.
Can you toll me how to rid my poultry
house and fowls of mites ?
A. P. A., Rex.
The question is ono frequently asked
by those who take an interest in the
small things of the farm which add so
much to the comfort and profit of farm
ing. . -
Provide your fowls with a good dust
bath, to which sulphur has been
added: Get a gallon, more or less, of
erode petroleum, and, with a spraying
bellows, if you have it, or with a brush,
If you havo nothing better, thoroughly
saturate every part of the inside of the
poultry houses. This will rid them of
every vestige of lfce, large or small,
and, as the small lico or mites mostly
leave tho fowls in the morning, it will,
in a couple of applications, rid them of
the pests. A little lard oil and kerosene,
half and half, applied under the wings
of thejnrds will kill all the large lice
'that are on them. Bat every person who
has many fowls should have some kind
of a spraying apparatus, and with this
spray the house onco a month with ker
osene emulsion. JThis can be quickly
done and will keep everything perfectly
clean. -
SCOURS.
, lily calves have the scours very badly.
Can you give me a remedy:
H. J. EL, Bolton.
Scalding tho milk will usually remedy
diarrhoea in calves, and this is much
better than using drugs, which are apt
to injure digestion. In obstinate cases a
puff-ball squeezed into the milk amb
mixed with it will remedy matters at
once. Bat it is unfortunate if such ir
regularities in digestion are allowed !©
occur. They commonly result from fin-
proper methods of feeding.
COMPOST.
How muen compost can I use to the
acre? . L. A. L
In the use of all fertilizers the charac
ter of the 8<jil must bo considered, but it
is difficult to name a land under proper
conditions.. Replying to a similar ques
tion Furman’s reply was: _ V
“It is hard to use too much.-In France
tho hverago is 20,000 pounds to the acre.
A Georgia farmer will hardly average
100 pounds to the acre. I will average
10,000 pounds next year. -Nothing pays
new so well.”
. LIME.
