Good Advice.
George P. Rowell Co., of New
York, the leading advertising
authorities of] the country, give
this advice to those who want to
reach the.public:
“The best advertising medium
is THE DAILY PAPER. The
best advertisement is the^one
that tells what you'^want to say
in the fewest] and plainest
words. So display it that it
will ca l ,ch the eye. Insert it in
the best daily paper—mind yon

murderer of Mias Bailie Emma O wen,
was a deplorable affiir, without the
semblance of justification. And yet,
this awful affair is not without its les
son, and that lesson is a plain one. Tbe
oriminal laws of Georgia are entirely
wrong in many respects. Tbe granting
of new trials on the part of the Supreme
Court are hinged upon too many tech
nicalities of law. The Supreme Court
of Georgia was oorreot in granting Dr.
Ryder a new trial, for, under the strict
technicalities of the law, he was enti
tied to e new trial, Yet, the vary Jus
tices of the Supreme Court, who, under
the law, were required to grant the
murderer e new trial, no donbt believed
Dr. Rydsr to be e guilty man deserving
of death. The oontinnance granted by
Judge Hart, on account of the illness of
the leading attorney for the defense,
was oorreot, no donbt, and the absence
Of a number of Ryder's witnesses may
have been without knowledge or con
sent on the part of tbe prisoner or his
eonnssl, and yet these oiroumstances
served to infltme the pnblio mind.
There is no special blame to be attaohed
to anyone connected with the case, and
after all the blame rests with the crimi
nal laws of Georgia, which are too tech
nical and which pay too little attention
to the real merits of the case. Such i
lynching is not to be condoned or pal'
listed, and yet others will ocenr unless
the criminal laws of Georgia are so
modified as to give speedy trials and
eeonre just and righteous verdiots.

WASTING THE MANURE HEAP.
For seven years, says the Farm News,
of Springfield, Ohio, experiments have
been oonduoted under the direction of
Professor William Sannders,at the Cen
tral Dominion experimental farm,
ascertain the relative values of fish and
rotted barnyard manures, with “results
that are disturbing to some old notions
on this snbj set.” The report of the re
mits, at any rate, is of large interest to
every intelligent farmer.
With oats grown for seven years, it is
noted, tbe plots treated with fresh ma
nure gave an average of forty-four
bushels and two pounds per aore,
against thirty-seven bnshels and twen
ty-nine pounds from plots treated with
the same “weight” of rotted manure—
showing six bnshels and seven pounds
or abont 16 per oent., gain in favor of
the fresh manure. Barley in the same
time averaged onebnthsl and twenty-six
pounds per acre in favor of the fresh
manure, and wheat ten pounds
favor of the rotted manure. With corn
onq series of crops averaged 1,181
pounds In favor of the fresh manure,
while another series averaged 926
pounds in favor of tbe rotted manure.
All are averages of eight years’ crops
“Turnips, carrots and potatoes gave de
cidedly better yields from fresh ma
nure.”
While theee results show a decided
advantage in using tbe manure fresh
from the stables its superiority is for
ther exhibited, as reported by teats of
the loss in weight from nsing rotted
manure. On March 7, 1894, 4,000
pounds each of fresh ho:ee and cattle
manure were plaoed in a shed on light
boards. The mass (8,000 pound*) waa
turned and weighed onoe a month, and
was “carefully watched to see that pro
per conditions of moiatare were pre
served.”
The reoords of the eaoceuive weigh
ings were: March 7 / 8.000 pounds,
April 6, 6,630; May 7 , 4,278; June 7,
3.947; July 6,3,480-. At ths last named
date “the manure was in wbatls usually
considered first-class condition, having
the paaty character which wonld admit
of its being cat easily with a spade, and
mixed readily with the soil,” bnt the
turning and weighing was continued
esoh month until Deotmber 7, when it
was found that the heap weighed only
2,000 ponnds—havieg lost 6,000 ponnds
or three fourths of its original weight.
The leeson of the several experiments
is briefly sUted by the Farm News. It
says:
‘’When we remember that fresh
manure gave better results with moss
crops than did rotted mannre, round
for pound, we must see that thousands
of dollars are being allowed to waste in
almosj every county every year from
allowing tbe farm yard manure to rot
down into that supposed best condition.
There is no donbt but fresh strawy
mannre will yield better results on
heavy soils, or those lsoking in hnmns,
than upon those already having a good
condition of texture, but there o in be
no soil, except in a garden, that will

A few days since a justice court trial
! rare interest wu reported in these
columns.
Now oomes another ease of still rarer
interest and involving more sensational
features.
A certain oitiasn had a large number
of chickens, ani those chickens greatly
annoyed a neighbor.
One morning nearly all of tbe chick
ens keeled over and died. If it had only
been one ohioken, its death might have
been given the uBnal direction and as
eribed to heart failure.
Bnt the ohickens died off in large
numbers, and their tuddendeath caused
suspicion of f anl play to arise in the
mind of the owner.
He found a lot of onrious-looking
dough iu the barn yard and imagined
that it contained match-heads and other
poisons.
He called his neighbor and declared
that his ohickens had been poisoned.
He then off wed that neighbor one hun
dred dollars to eat a handful of that
dongh.
The wager was accepted and this
neighbor deliberately picked up a hand-
fall of dough and ate it.
The citizm who lost the chickens had
loat his wager, and tbe neighbor after
eating the handbill of dough waa aa
well as ever.
The wager has not been paid and this
citizen refuses to pay it.
The man who won tbe wager has en
tered suit for the one hundred dollars
and the oue comes np for trial before
the justice of the peace of Wolfskin dis
trict next month.
All that community is greatly inter
ested in the outcome of this novel oase.

L. MYERS.
Mr. H. L. Myers,of ioo Mulberry street,
Newark, N.J., made the mistake of re-
! lying upon remedies based upon mineral
’ ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says;
"I was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine tbe suffering I en
dured.
“Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good I had
spent a hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. I then tried vari
ous patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When I had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. I
regained my lost weight, became strong
er, and my appetite greatly improved.
I was soon entirely well, and my skinas
clear as a piece of glass.”
S.S.S. is a sure cure for all manner
of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. It is
