Agriculture For the Common School*. Many communications have come to this Department in recent years asking us to recommend & -work suitable aa a textbook on agriculture with the view of having it Introduced into the curriculum of our common SXtan^JSS fr ° m ““y ^ers desiring a work on general agricul ture In, the south. Until recently we have had nothing of th»* kind prepared by any of our own people, who are beat ac. qualnted with the needs of the farm ers of Georgia and neighboring South ern ftates. Thls department sug gested to Professor J. b. HunnicutL editor of The Southern Cultivator the preparation of a work of this kind and invited the cooperation of Profes! sor G. R. Glenn at that time School Commissioner of the State of Georgia. Such a work by Professor Hunnlcutt has Just been Issued from the press of the Foote & Davies "Publishing Co. of Atlanta, and Is, therefore, a genu ine home production, well adapted to the farmer boy* ffid girls o* the South Every farmer should take pride in his profession; for without such a jentlment he cannot do his best work By pursuing proper methods he can instill the same sentiment into his • children, so that they will find both pleasure and profit in learning how to make the soil grow good crops. If farming Is ever to reach the place which It should occupy, It will be where the children have been taught its usefulness and beauty In the school room. The work of Professor Hunnlcutt Is so simple that even a teacher, who Is entirely Ignorant of the theory and practice of farming, can nse it with profit to his pupils and himself. Many books have been written on agriculture, but they are all more or less treatises on agricultural chemistry. This work avoids this channel, but at the same time adheres strictly to sci entific truth/ while expressing It in plain language. It teaches the hlstdry of agriculture, treats of the composition and kinds of soil, their preservation and improve ment; bow plants grow, the proper use of manures and fertilizers; the se lection and planting of seed with the needed preparation ' of the soil fo * their reception; the cultivation, gather ing and storing of crop*; the propet methods of marketing, and the best investments <A the profits that accrue; treats also of farm labor, farm ani mals and implements; of evew kind of farming; and, hi fact, takes a gen eral and comprehensive view of every, thing that a farmer or a termer's child should know. The tables in the ap pendix are Just what ovary tenner needs. The Department of Agriculture heartily endorses this work, and hopes that it will be adopted in every school and find its way into etery family In the south. , . GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE. READ IT THROUGH. *Twould Spoil This Story to Tell It la The Headlines. ,. To use an eighteenth century phrase, this is an “o’er true tale.” Having hap pened in a small Virginia town in the winter of 1902, it is a story very much of the present. Up to a short time ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, of Melfa Station, rare curative properties Gough Remedy. “Last January, say 4, “my baby took a dreadful cmd and at oie tbnft I feared she would ha^e pneumonia, but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little boy and I began giving it to mv baby at once and it soon cured her. I heartily th»nk the manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Gough Remedy for plac ing so great a cure within my reach. I cannot recommend it too highly or say too much in its favor. I hope all who read tliia will try it and be convinced as I was." For .ale by J. W. Peacock, d-w Thngs of Which Every Couth era Man 8hou!d Be Proud. The Manufacturers’ Record of Bal timore, in reviewing the evidences of Southern progress during the past year,. Including Investments of more than $50,000,000 In building new rail road mileage and of more than $20,- ■000,000 in cotton mills, says: “To telly grasp the progress of the South, we should have to study the change which haa come about by which the Southern factory is not only beginning to anpply the needs of the south, but Is. bidding for forfelgn trade; we should have to measure the influence on the woodworking Industry of the'phenom- ensl success of the furniture factories of North Carolina, which are captur ing the trade of this country as far as the Pacific coast snd the foreign trade out to South Africa; we should have to note the rapid development of In dustries to consume at home the pig iron for which we have heretofore had to find a market elsewhere—the steel rail mill at Ensley, the steel car works to be built in Alabama, the success of the. steel wire operations which has resulted in the plans for building the $5,000,000 plant mentioned as to be constructed at Gadsden; we should have to measure'the power of the new combination of cotton mills, which will turn Into this section a great amount of textile Interests; we should have to note the progress of the great ship building plant at-Newport News, with contracts on hand sufficient to supply its 7,000 or 8,000 men for the next three years; we should have to take Into account the great developments at southern ports in terminal facilities and the growth of the exports through Southern ports now reaching to over $500,000,000 a year or about 35 per cent of the total exports of the ooun- try. To aU o.f these should have to add the most vi tal fact, namely, the accumulated capital and the accumulated experi ence which the South now has as compared- with the lack of capital and. the lack of experience of five or ten years ago, and thus be able to form a better idea of how greatly this will count in bringing about a rate of prog ress far surpassing all that bas been seen in the last ten years.’ The Manufacturers’ Record review of railroad construction during the* year shows a total new mileage in tne Southern States, and in Missouri, In dian Territory and 1 Oklahoma, whose railroad systems are directly connect ed with Southern development, of 4,099.4. It also shows that, at least 5,157.8 miles of line will he construct ed in these states and territories dur ing the coming year. The following table shows the mileage built In 1902 and to Sb built in 1903 by states: 7 *1 s Council Rooms, March 23,1903. Council met in regular session, Mayor Culpepper presiding.
