STOPS PAIN
Athens, Tenn., Jan. 27,1901.
Ever since the first appearance of mv
menses they were very irregular and I
suffered with great pain in my hips,
back, stomach and legs, with terrible
bearing down pains in the abdomen.
During the past month I have been
taking Wine of Cardui and Thedford’s
Black-Draught, aud I passed the month
ly period without pain for the first time
in years. Nannik Davis.
What is life worth to a woman suffer
ing like Nannie Davis suffered? Yet
there are women in thousands of homes
to-day who are bearing those terrible
menstrual pains in silence. If you are
one of these we want to say that this
same
WINE or CARDUI
will bring you permanent relief. Con
sole yourself tfith the knowledge that
1,000,000 women have been completely
cured by Wine of Cardui. These wom
en suffered from leucorrhoea, irregular
menses, headache, backache, and
bearing down pains. Wine of Cardui
will stop ail these aches and pains
for you. Purchase a SI.OO bottle of
Wine of Cardui to-day and take it in

WHEAT CULTIVATION
Interesting Paper by . Com
missioner Stevens.
VARIETY OF WHEAT TO USE
Valuable Suggestions and Timely Ad
vice which Every Enterprising
Farmer, in Georgia Should
Heed.
The wheat crop for this year, owm?
to several adverse causes well known
to all the wheat growers of Georgia,
did not come up to 'the average. But
this partial failure should no more
cause a diminution in the area devoted
to this valuable grain than an un
favorable season for corn or cotton
should cause a falling off in the acre
age of those crops.
The same reasons which led to th-i
great revival of wheat growing in
Georgia in 1899 and 1900 still prevail.
One of the chief arguments in favor
of wheat growing, so persistently
urged at the time, was that the negro
farmer by reason of his manner of
life can make a living for his family
at far less expense than is required
by the white man, and hence can
afford to sell his cotton at a lower
price.
Therefore the competition between
the white and black planter wouid
prove disastrous to the former unless
he could be self-supporting and have
cotton for his surplus money crop.
A farmer’s life should be one of
financial Independence; but, unless he
can live in the main at home on the
fruits of his own industry and supply
the market with those products that
are ever in demand, he is in danger of
becoming a hewer of wood and drawer
of water to his more enterprising
neghbors. If he raises enough to live
upon, he can hold his cotton for good
prices.
An attractive looking home, a wejM
filled storehouse and ready cash for
himself and family are necessary, if
he would bind the affections of his
wife and children to their country
home. Diversity of crops is an abso
lute necessity for successful farming,
and no crop that can be raised adds
more to the comfort of a home than
wheat, which in its flour gives that
bread which by most people is pre
ferred to every other kind, and in its
bran supplies one of the most whole
some feeds for stock.
No good farmer in North or Middle
Georgia should fail to set apart a por
tion of his land for wheat. What ff
there is an occasional short crop?
Can he raise anything that is not lia
ble to the same misfortune?
Those states of our Union and those
countries of the world are the richest,
whose farmers raise abundance oi
wheat and oats, and grass for pas
turage and for hay. Raise abundance
of these things for man and beast and
add to them plenty of corn. Then you
can have the best of poultry, hogs,
sheep, beef and dairy cattle and all
your cotton will be a money crop, with
which to purchase the comforts thst
should be found in every home, and
to provide a support for declining
years. <
The Variety of Wheat to Use.
Knowing well the many conditions
affecting the yield of wheat, we would
again advise that you select a varie:y
most capable of withstanding the many
drawbacks attendant upon the cultiva
tion of this grain. A kind having a
strong, stiff stem and possessing the
greatest power of withstanding ex
treme cold weather is the best. All
other things being equal, that which
has a thin skin or bran is to be pre
ferred.
Soil For Wheat.
A soil, whoee predominatipg charac
teristics are loam and clay, and that
having also an abundant suplply of ni
trogenous matter with sufficient phos
phoric acid, potash and lime, is best
adapted to the growing of wheat. II
these elements are lacking, use pleniy
of barnyard manure, if available, and
concentrate it. Ten tons to the acre
will not be too much. Also apply
plenty of wood ashes, for these con
tain phosphoric acid, potash, lime and
soluble silicia, all essential elements
for the growth of the wheat plant. For
most land some high grade commercial
manure is the best The soil must be
dry, under-drained, if necessary, for
wheat cannot be made on land which
has an excess of water. An excellent
soil for wheat is a gray, loamy top
soil, with an under soil of stiff red
clay.
Proper Depth to Cover Wheat.
We have from time to time given to i
the readers of these talks the results
of experiments made to determine the
proper depth to cover wheat. The re
sult of these experiments caused us in
one of our letters to advise that it is bet
ter to harrow the wheat and fertilizers
in, from one to three inches deep, ac
cording to the character of the soil,
remembering that a thinner covering
is required in close, heavy land than
in that which is light or sandy. A
better f)lan, when practicable, is to
use the wheat drill after having first
thoroughly plowed, fertilized, har
rowed, raked, pulverized and rolled
the land. This process leaves the land
in excellent condition for the propa
gation and growth of the wheat plan*,
and gives, moreover, a smooth surface,
so important for the future harvest.
Mr. W. J. Bridges, one of our most
successful Georgia farmers, in telling
how he raised 66 bushels of wheat to
the acre, said that he put it in with a
drill, using about 400 pounds of a
special high grade potash fertilizer at
the same time. In planting the wheat
he put in IDS pounds, or one bushel
and three pecks to the acre. The blue
stem variety is considered by many
the best. It is claimed by those whs
have tried it that the soaking of the
wheat in bluestone will prevent smut,
a disease more to be dreaded than
rust. The bluestone should be dis
solved in boiling water and about a
gallon of this water should be used for
every two bushels of wheat, about one
pound of the bluestone being required
for each gallon.
Best Time to Plant Wheat.
The experience of our best farmers
is. that the wheat should be put in as
late in the season as will allow it to
throw out a system of roots and
leaves large enough to cover the entire
surface of ground before the coming
of the cold blizzards. Our best Georgia
farmers plant from October Ist to No
vember Ist, Sccording to latitude, soil
and climatic conditions. Some of ou”
most successful Middle Georgia farm
ers think that wheat should never ba
sown until after the first big frost in
November, as it will then withstand
more successfully the ravages of the
Hessian fly or small grub. Of course,
the farmers of North Georgia plaut
earlier.
How to Preserve and Restore the Fer
tility of fhe Soil.
After the wheat has been harvested,
it is an excellent plan to plant tha
entire acreage in cow-peas; for there
is no crop, as far as we know, that
will produce such permanent good ef
fect upon the soil. By this method
the land is put in good condition for
the next crop of wheat.
Much of our land in Georgia has
been run down by unwise cultivation
in the past. These exhausted lands
need nitrogen and available phosphoric
acid and potash, and, especially, lime.
To restore these elements to our wast
ed lands, sow cow-peas after grain and
turn them under In the fall after hav
ing first broadcasted barnyard manure,
ashes and lime. The repetition of
this process from yea rto year will
steadily increase the fertility of the
soil and the wealth of the farmer.
Best Fertilizers For Wheat.
Some soils are naturally so rich that
no fertilization is required; but these
are the exception, and even the most
of these will, after a few years, requiro
some sort of fertilizers in the form oi
plant food. These should be in a
form for immediate use. Barnyard
manure, if pulverized very fine and
then applied, is very valuable.
The planting of clover on wheat
lands in some sections, but of cow
peas in most parts of Georgia, and
plowing these under several weeks be
fore sowing the wheat, as has been
said, will prepare the land well fo/
this crop. In England, and in our
western states, the droppings of the
sheep and cattle have added much to
the productiveness of wheat lands.
But the majority of our farmers ar-3
not stock raisers, and need a fertilizer
that is immediately available. There
fore artificial fertilizers, or commer
mercial manures, must be used, for
the reason that farm manures cannot
always be had in sufficient quantity
and are rarely applied in a mechanical
condition to be readily assimilated by
the wheat plant. But the commercial
manures have been scientifically pre
pared with special reference to tho
needs of different kinds of soils and
crops, and, though they involve some
outlay of money, the increase of the
crop will well repay the expenditure.
Experiments have frequently proved
that a judicious application of $lO
worth of the proper fertilizers will
often bring a return of from S2O to S3O
worth of grain.
In the management of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, it has ever been
my aim to subserve the best interests
of the farmers of Georgia. After ma
ture reflection I still advise: Do rot
diminish your wheat acreage. Perse
vere and cultivate your wheat lands
after the most approved method. Turn
not back; but go forward in this good
work, feeling assured that the final
outcome will be increased prosperity
for yourselves and for all the interests
of our beloved Georgia.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
CROP CONDITIONS.
At this time the general condition
of crops is far from encouraging.
The drought which has prevailed up
to the 2d of July, accompanied by high
temperatures and parching winds, has
caused a material deterioration oi
most crops, especially cotton and up
land corn. Notwithstanding showers
of rains have fallen in many sections
of the state since the first of the
month, it is still true that a drought
which is becoming very serious, now
prevails over the greater portion o!
Georgia. In some sections upland corn
is almost past redemption, while cot
ton in some sections is doing fairly
well, the reverse is true in most of the
counties. The friut is below normal
conditions, and the watermelon crop
is far below an average, both in quanti
ty and quality.
STATE AGRICULTURAL DEP’T.
July 8, 1902., Atlanta, Ga.
TOBACCO.
The census reports also show that
tobacco is getting to be a crop of some
importance in Georgia.
The increase in acreage in the dec
ade from 1889 to 1899 was 188 per cent,
and Jn production 319 per cent. The
average yield per acre shows an in
crease suggestive of improved meth
ods of cultivation, being 479.9 pounds
per acre in 1899 as compared with 329.7
pounds in 1879. The tobacco crop oi
1899 was 1,106.600 pounds, valued al
$169,669. This Was grown by 3,525
farmers, and obtained from 2,304 acres
FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Little Bowlegged Dog of Long
Ago Who Turned the Spit.
The antiquary patted his little
bowlegged dog on the head. “Be
glad,” he said to it, “that you didn’t
live a hundred years ago, my lad,
for you would then, perhaps, have
been a spit dog.”
The eyes of the animal took on
an inquiring look. “A spit dog?”
they seemed to say. “What is a spit
dog?”
Thereupon the antiquary re
sumed :
“In olden times men roasted in
stead of having baked meat. They
put it on a spit over the fire, and the
real flames, not a dry oven heat, got
at it. It was excellent cooked in
that way. It excelled the so called
roast meat of today as a broiled
steak excels a fried one.
“But”—and here the antiquary
sighed—“the meat had to be kept
revolving on the spit, or otherwise
it would have charred, and to re
volve it was a monotonous and pain
ful task. This task tired'the arms,
besmoked the eyes and singed the
hands of the cook. And hence a
certain breed of little bowlegged
dogs—your breed, my lad—was
trained to turn the spit. Truly, it
was hard to train the first of these
dogs. It took a dog’s life almost,
but the descendants of the original
spit turners learned the task more
readily, and as the time passed and
the power of heredity made itself
felt a puppy would acquire in a
month the whole art.”
The antiquary tweaked the ears
of his little friend.
“Now, aren’t you glad,” said he,
“that you didn’t 'live in the olden
times and that you never were a
spit dog? Some of those poor little
curs, you know, worked eight and
nine hours a day.”
Football In Japan.
Among -the many things that Ja
pan .borrowed from China was foot
ball, said to have been introduced
as the middle of the sev
enth century. The Emperor Toba
11. was an expert player and got up
a club at his palace. But as most
oriental races are averse to hard
work and active games football
must have been played in a different
manner from that in which Ameri
can boys play it. Nevertheless the
Japanese form seems to have been
popular, and we may trace the be
ginning of professional games to an
emperor and his court.
Children of the West Indies.
Hundreds of little men and wom
en, unfortunate little negro chil
dren, were destroyed in the terrible
volcanic disasters that came to the
beautiful islands of Martinique and
St. Vincent a short time ago. They
were happy youngsters, and if their
lives had not been snuffed out they
would have grown into happy negro
men and women, for happiness is a
trait of the natives of the West In
dies. The climate is so mild that
children never think of wearing
shoes and can play out of doors all
the year round except at intervals
in the short rainy season. A group
of six of these island youngsters is
shown in the accompanying illus
tration. They have been out in the
fields for wild flowers, w r hich grow
abundantly on most of the islands.
HAPPY YOUNGSTERS.
The rickety cart is serving the
younger girls as a carriage, and the
little brother of one of them has
been impressed into service as a
horse. These particular children
do not live in the belt where- tl
volcanoes have been active, and it
probable that they do not knou
that thousands of their neighbors
have been killed, for West Indian
children do not read papers, as do
American boys and girls. In the
first place a great many of them
never learn to read, and then they
hake no papers.—New York Trib
une.
Labels on Children. ~'**-
In Japan special care is taken' bo
that the children of poor people
may not become lost on the streets.,
There are no nurses to look after
them, and the mothers, in order to,
have the little runaways returned,
safely, hang labels around their
children’s necks. These labels beur

THE CHAMPION BULLFIGHTER.
Luis Mazzantini, the noted Span
ish bullfighter, has had a remarka
ble career. From the position of a
railway porter he has become fa
mous as the most successful and
popular matadore of Spain, and he
numbers among his friends many of
the leading people of that country.
He left the Spanish railways to
take up telegraphy and afterward
began the, study of law. Next he
turned to the stage, where, howev
er, progress was slow. So, possess
ing a lino physique and an attrac
tive appearance, coupled with a
keen eye, steady hand and unflinch
ing nerve, he was attracted to the
bull ring, where his success has
been phenomenal. While he has
had some very narrow escapes, he
has never lost a fight in the bull
ring in Spain,. France or in Mexico
and Central America, in all of
which countries he is looked upon
as the foremost fighter of modern
times.
Brusque Honesty.
Stories linger in the wake of
Prince Henry of Prussia. The New
York Times says that during his
tour of the steerage on board the
Kronprinz Wilhelm his royal high
ness noticed a man sitting on the
floor, leaning against a water butt.
The man was plainly a German,
but not one of those sunny, good
fellows of whom the prince is a
type.
“Why have you left the vater
land ?” asked Prince Henrv.
The man glanced at him and
spoke in a surly fashion.
“I left there,” said he, “because I
am a free man, to do as I choose.”
Then he glanced at his meager be
longings and added sneeringly,
“The vaterland has not lost much.”
The prince flushed.
“No country can afford to lose a
man who is conscious of his free
dom,” said he quickly and passed
on.
Wood Alcohol.
Writing on the use of wood alco
hol in the manufacture of flavor
ings, cordials and other bottled
goods, the Philadelphia Medical
World says:
“Wood alcohol is certain to pro
duce blindness when used as a drink
or otherwise introduced into the
system,” said Dr. Harlan. “If a
large dose is taken on an empty
stomach, death is almost certain to
follow immediately.
“The consumption of wood alco
hol by manufacturing chemists
throughout the country has in
creased enormously during the last
decade. It can be bought for 75
cents per gallon, while ethyl alco
hol costs $2.45 per gallon.
“It is time that the men who are
sending bottled blindness and cer
tain death broadcast through the
country should be halted.”
A Bad Complication.
A woman recently entered an om
nibus in an English town, accom
panied by a small boy, who wore a
saucepan oh his head in place of
the more usual hat. His appear
ance provoked comment.
“Wot’s ’e doin' it fur?” asked
one traveler.
'Doin’ it fur?” cried the mother.
“Why, he was playin’ at bein’ Lord
Kitchener or somethin’, and ’e
wanted a ’elmet, so ’e pul s the sorse
pan on ’is ’ed, and now ’e cun’t get
ft off, so >ra takin’ *im to the ’ors
pital.”
“Poor kid!” said a sympathizer.
“Poor kid!” cried Lig mother.
“It’s poor mel ’E v in such a
'urry that ’e never i > >!;ed to see
wot was in the sors \ and now
Vs got my blessed L a fast on ’is
ead."
A Well Marked Man.
“Uncle Jim” Wilkinson of Vini*
ta, I. TANARUS., has been United States
deputy marshal there for thirty
two years and a terror to outlaws
and desperadoes all through his
service. Thirteen bullet scars and a
jagged mark on one of his ankles,
where a Comanche arrow lodged,
6how that at times he has led a
strenuous life. It is a common say
ing that Judge Parker of Fort’
Smith and Jim Wilkinson are the
two men who made living possible
in the territory in old days. Dep
uty Wilkinson is an Englishman by
birth. ,
A Beautiful Bull.
Dr. O’Hague, health officer of
Minneapolis, when recently in Phil
adelphia at a gathering of medical
men became engaged in a discus
sion of the dangers resulting from
impure drinking water.
“Why,” he said, “the typhoid ba
cilli call for the most diligent at
tention if the health of a communi
ty is to he conserved. They are so
small, gentlemen, that a handful of
them could be placed on the point
of a needle!”—Philadelphia Times.
A Tip For Emperor William.
“I see that the emperor of Ger
many always signs himself *' William,
1. R.’ ”
“Yes”
“I wonder why somebody doesn’t
give him a pointer on it.”
“Why should he have a pointer?”
“His grammar, you know. Some
body ought to put him on. ‘Wil
liam, I Am,’ is the way he ought to
write it.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
He Brought Them.
Mrs. Slangay—Surely, John, you
haven’t brought any one home to
dinner!
Mr. Slangay—Sure, I have. Have
you not got any grub for ’em ?
Mrs. Slangay —Of course not.
You told me you’d bring home a
couple of lobsters for dinner.
Mr. Slangay—Well, that’s them
in the parlor. —Philadelphia Press.
Ugowe Bay.
Anew name to be seen on the lat
est maps of British East Africa is
Ugowe bay, applied to an arm of
the Victoria Nyanza. This name
originated with Stanley, the explor
er, in a singular way. When he
was making a chart of the lake
shores, he came upon a great bay,
and, calling to a native, he asked
what it was called. After repeating
the inquiry several times he got for
answer something that sounded
like “You go ’way,” and the inter
preter’s efforts met with no better
success. So Stanley, accepting the
sound, named the bay Ugowe, which
is pronounced like the English
phrase quoted above.
Convenient Ailments.
“Archibald, dear,” his wife said,
arousing him in the dead of night,
“I wish you would walk with baby a
little while. He’s going to wake
up.”
“How can I do that, Lucinda?”
expostulated the sleepy husband.
“You know, I’ve got the pingnong
ankle.”
“Then put him in his cradle and
rock him awhile.”
“I can’t do that either. I’ve got
the golf shoulder.”—Chicago Trib-.
