Stephens’ Uouxin, I am full cousin of the late Ex-Governor Alex ander H. Stephens, and have been a postal cierlt on different railroads since 1868. For ten years 1 have been a sufferer from a cancer on my face, which trrew worse until the discharge of matter became profuse and very offensive. I became thoroughly disgusted with blood purifiers ami pronounced them humbugs, as I had tried many w2thout relief. Finally I was induced to use B. B. lb, which wits about the Ist of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health and 1 rapidly gained health and strenjfth. The discharge gradually decreased and the cancer became less slid less in size until not hing remains but a scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me since I have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony of my great improvement, and the scar on my face shows that it cured the cancer. 1 And that B. B. It. comes squarely up to what it is recommended and I cannot say too much in praise of this wondetfuf medicine. I have tried them all, but 11. B. B, stands at the top as a blood purifier. The above is copied front the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Watchman, being the voluntary language of Mr. James A. Greer, which editor Gantt in dorses. “Mr. Greer is an honest, upright citizen of Athens who had a bad cancer, and his numerous friends thought that he could not live very long, as the cancer was gradually sapping the founda tion of his constitution, but now looks well and hearty,” 3 Against 18. Several physicians have pronounced m.v disease blood poison, caused by paint, or lead in tlie paint, but they could not cure me. Last sum mer l used eighteen bottles of a largely advertised blood medicine, which did me no more good than so much water. I have used only two bottles of B. B, B. and am proud to say that 1 have received a* greater benefit from them than from the eighteen, and am nowf rapidly recovering. There is no ques tion about the superiority of B. IL B. over all blood remedies. 215 Reynolds street IV. H. WOODY. Augua, Ga., April 21st, 1880. All who desire full information about the cause and cure of Blood poisons.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the ! Club : lam deeply impressed with the i story of the wolf and the lamb when I { rise to dismiss the topics which have been ’ assigned to me, at this hour. You know. ! ’ j it is said of the wolf that on some by- j way ht> came iu contact with a lamb. The lamb readily recognized the situation. | and yielded to the fact that he must at i once become a prey to the ravenous wolf. However, before his destiny must le met, ! he importuned the wolf to permit him to spend a few of his last moments in rev elry, and thus prevailed with the wolf to play ti tune on the flute, while he, (the lamb,) could trip the light fantastic toe to the beautiful strains of music. The wolf, after giving assent, began to pipe out loud and melodious strains of music, which aroused some neighboring hounds, who gave chase to the wolf and drove him so far into the dense forest as to reuder perfect security to the lamb from his ravages. Upon reflection, the wolf decided that his fate was what he deserv ed, since he who was reared u butcher had no business to turn piper. Applying this principle to myself, it is with great diffidence I approach the dis cussion of my present subject before this audience olVxperieneed farmers, since de cidedly more of iny life has been spent delving into intricate propositions of tlie law, than with handling a scooter plow. In addition to this, I have often (and perhaps correctly, too,) heard gentlemen j of the professions accused of crippling the influence for good of agricultural clubs, by dealing too much in gas and long-winded discussions. And here I am reminded of another story. Once upon a time one of those fellows, who, like my friend, Sam Drown, delighted in relating fabulous things connected with his hunt ing experience, began a yarn about an enormous turkey he had killed. He said that the wheat was so large in the field where he killed the turkey that the tur key could stand upon the heads and pick the grains therefrom. And after he had killed the turkey and placed it upon his shoulder, it was so large that its head dragged the snow in front and its feet dragged the snow behind. Some incred ulous bystander suggested that harvest was a strange time to have smxv. The turkey killer reflected a short time and exclaimed: “I’ll be swamped if I huint got two tales mixed.” Now, in the discussion in which I ant about to engage, you must not be sur prised if you find me mixing things before i get through. Especially do l appre hend danger of this from the fact that the committee has given me such a mul tiplicity of subjects to talk about in one discussion. There is consolation, how ever, connected with my present situa tion, and in this I am reminded of the Irishman who once dined at a fashiona ble hotel in New York City. Merely for ornament, the proprietor of the hotel had placed upon the table some very fine specimens of red pepper. This kind of food I’addy had never before cast eyes upon, anti as it was so rich and beautiful in color, he pictured to himself that it must be imminently delicious and pala table. So after waiting until his patience became threadbare for the waiter to pass it around, he-decided he could hold out no longer and stuck a pod of it in his mouth ami began grinding upon it. Soon the tears came streaming from his eyes, and he dropped it beside his plate, say ing, “Now, bejabbers; you lie there and cool awhile,” And L surmise, that after 1 make a splendid “bust” in this discus sion, the club will lay me to one side for the cooling process. Gentlemen, you will please pardon this nonsense, as it has been fittingly said by one learned in arts, “that a little non sense now and then, is often relished by the wisest men.” As the manuring point conies first in my subject, I will give it notice first. And here I will remark that it is a waste oi time and labor to cultivate our ordinary worn down uplands in any of the crops embodied in my subject without fertiliza tion, except peas. And they might, with great propriety, be excepted, too, but for the reason tiiat a growth of them, however miniature it may be. brings fer tilization to the land upon which they are grown. And from this instrumental ity alone, the grower of the pea will re ceive compensation for cultivating the crop. As before stated, manuring cotton or corn on ordinary uplands is indispensa ble to the obtaining of results which will pay the tiller of the soil. This being true, the manure which will give the best re sults with the least expense, is the one which should be used; and this is, un questionably, a compost ol barn yard manure, cotton seed and acid phosphate. And manure of this kind is in the reach of every member of the club at compara tively little cost. 1 can take a mule, and from the manure I can raise from that mule, together with thecorion seed which can le produced from the mule, properly composted with acid phosphate, I can manure as much ground us that mule can cultivate, with the compost ordina rily moist, 1,000 pounds per acre. And so can any member of the club do the same thine;. Now for the process of raising the ma nure: So soon as your stables are clean ed out in the spring, fill at least one foot deep in wheat or oat straw, and at inter vals ol one month during the year do the same thing, having your straw till the while in a heap exposed to the rain, so as to keep it in a full state yf decom position; that is, the straw which is to be put into the stable, not that which you have in the stable, for it should be pro tected from the rays of the sun and the rain, after it is placed in the stable. The chaff which comes from wheat or oats would be preferable, but as our fanners never have a sufficient supply of chaff, the straw is recommended. Wlmt chaff the farmer has, however, should be mixed with the straw. And your cows may be handled in the same way that your horses are by this process of raising manure. Your manure thus raised should lie placed in a heap with your cotton seed and acid phosphate for at least one month before the manure is placed upon the land. If the barn yard manure has ordinary moisture when it is composted no water should be added to it; but if it has not, then enough water should lie added to make it ordinarily moist. After your compost heap is made it should be examined at intervals to see if enough heat is being generated to firefuug the compost. That is to give it mossy, whit ish color. If such heat is generated in it, then water should be poured into the heap in such quantity, and at such inter vals, as will keep the compost from fire funging. In one months' time, with projter heat, the compost will become sufficiently rotted to furnish the plant all the fertilizing qualities of which the com post is capable. And unless you have it in this rotted state you will not get first class results from it the first year it is placed upon the land. For cotton, if you are succeeding cot ton, break your land thoroughly and deeply with four-inch scooter plows in earl v"spring. If your land Is stubble laud turn it with a two-horse plow in the fall preceding. J ust before you are ready to plant lay off your rows three feet apart with long six inch shovel plow (and keep the plow sharp so it will take the dirt) then distribute your manure, made us above indicated, in the drill one thousand jiouikls ]>er acre, 200 pounds of which should lie acid phosphate, ami no more, and 4*oo each of barn yard manure anil cotton seed. List upon the manure with small twister, and after this is done run two more furrows to the row a like twist. Th< u run out the water furrow with 4-inch Bccoter and 14-inch patent scoop. It is preferable then to havearainupon the beds liefore planting. After which open beds with small scooter plow, run ning it nearly to the compost, Then run in trie seed with a planter and coon them with lirtle double loot plows attached to the planter. When your cotton is nearly ready to come up, and especially if you have had baking rains upon it, run a 4- inch scooter and 18-iuch patent sweep le -tween the rows, and a one-horse harrow following on the row. After this is done and your cotton is well up, if you have ha<l baking rains on the land, run a Thomas' smoothing harrow diagonally across the rows. T hen run around the cotton shallow and chop it out just as quick as possible, leaving it from one foot to 1 e-inches in drill, one stalk in a place, This early chopping 1 regard as all im portant, because until it is done your fil tiliziug properties are being supped dam ugingiy by the plants which are useless, and which must come out in order to re duce the cotton to a proper stand. So the earlier it is done after the cotton is large enough to chop the better it is. As soon as your cotton is chopped out run around it with a small scooter and small scoop very shallow. After this keep the grass out of the row by hoeing, and plow it two furrows to the row with patent sweeps after every season of rain until the cotton is ready to lay by, when it should be swept out shallow, so as to leave the ground as nearly level as pos sible. The above rules, closely followed, of or dinarily seasonable years will produce satisfactory results. If the farmer, how ever, should have more compost than enough to fertilize as heavily as 1 have heretofore indicated then and iu that event I would recommend that he run his cotton on the intensive plan of fertilizing. Tfien I would recommend tiiat when tlie cotton is first run around additional com post be distributed in tlie furrow on each side of the cotton, say one thousand pounds j>er acre, 500 pounds of which should be placed on each side of tlie rows. Now, some gentleman may say such a high state of fertilization would burn up the crop and nothing would be made. My reply to that, however, is that more cot ton will be picked from the laud by high fertilization than will be picked by less manuring. In addition to this, each year under this system will increase the pro ductiveness of the land, and the better prepare It for receiving and profitably utilizing intensive fertilization. For corn on upland break your land thoroughly and deeply with four-inch scooter [flows two ways in early spring. After this harrow the ground until thor oughly pulverized with Thomas’ smooth ing harrow. Early in March lay off your rows four feet apart with six-inch shovel plow. Drop your corn four feet apart in the drill and drop on each side of it a good sized handful of compost made as before indicated, and cover with double-foot scootu [flows. As soon as the corn is well up run around it medium shallow with small scooter plowi, four furrows to the row, and take till the grass out of the rows with hoes. After this, plow out the corn with 18-iuch patent sweeps very shallow every eighteen days until thecorn is waist high, then sow one half bushel of peas [ter acre broadcast upon the land and lay it by with eighteen-inch scoop very shallow, leaving the land as nearly level us possible. For corn on loose, loamy bottom land, turn the land the fall prior to crop with two horse plow. Then about the middle of the following March, if the weather is favorable, break the ground thoroughly with four-inch scooter plows, after which harrow it with Thomas’ smoothing har row until thoroughly pulverized. Then lay off your rows four feet apart and drop the corn two feet apart in the drill, put ting from three to five grains in a place, so as to insure a stand. Drop by the side of each hill, provided compost is plenti ful, a handful of the compost, and cover lightly with double-foot plow. When the corn is well up run the bar of a large twister next to the corn, and with the wing thoroughly cover up the middle of the row. After one week hoe the row clean and put the corn to a stand two feet apart in the drill, then plow two furrows to the row with 17-inch patentsweep, and continue to qlow it at intervals of 14 days, until the corn is waist high, when sow one-half bushel of peas broadcast per acre and lay by with 18-inch sweep. All the [flowing in this class of land should, alter the corn is up, be done as lightly as possible. Stiff bottom land for corn may be treated in the same way, except occasion may demand different treatment, such as harrowing to pulverize clods, break crust, etc., all of which must be done as good judgment may dictate to the planter. lor [teas, when laud is cultivated for no other crop than peas, I would recom mend planting in rows three feet apart, dropping the [teas two feet apart in the drill, from six to ten peas in a place. The planting should be done not earlier than the Ist of June so as to get the cool nights of the fall season on the peas at bearing time. If you have compost on hand when [teas are plauted drop a small handful to each [tea hill. If not it will pay to [tut on from 200 to 300 pounds of cotton seed meal, dropping near the hill of [teas. I prefer planting [teas for a pea crop alone in rows and iu bunches in the rows, for the reason tiiat tliey grow and fruit better when they are in bunches of some half-dozen together. After the [teas are well up plow them out with scooter and scoop, or [latent sweep. Then after three weeks’ time [flow them out in like manner ugain and lay them by. If, how ever, when they are plowed the first time there is grass or weeds in the row, they should Ist taken out with hoes. In my opinion [teas should never lie planted earlier than the first of June, and if u late lull Ist of July would be preferable. Peas plan ted early will, perhups, give a good vine, but fruiting will be sparse and good results will not be obtained. It is, perhaps, not out of place here to remark that definite rulescannot be given for manuring and cultivating crops which will, in every instance, give the best re sults. Because in writing an essay the writer is left mainly to theorizing, and theory alone in fanning will not do to rely upon. Theory in its place is indis pensable to successful results in farming, as the art of farming is, to some extent, Iteing redueed to a science. But combined with theory, good judgment and experi ence are necessary. And this is true of all professions and occupations. Take, for example, the physician, and without a knowledge of the text books, though he ffiay have ever so much experience ip practice, he is deficient in his profession, While on the other hand a knowledge of the text books without the experience in practice is wanting. But when you com bine the two in one man you have a physician who is able to distinguish him self in the art of medicine. The same is true of the profession of law, and it is not the less true of farming. Because I'll tell you to make a perfect farmer requires as sound sense and discriminating judgment us it does to make a perfect physician or a perfect lawyer. 1 once knew a man in the county of Laurens who had been highly educated, imd had spent his life to the age of 45 as u commission merchant in the city ot Sa vannah. In 1870 he came in possession of two large plantations in Laurens coun ty through his wife, who was a grand daughter of Gov. Troup. The two plan tations had formerly belonged to Gov. Troup. He immediately sold out his mercantile business, moved upon one of the plantations and began farming. Whilst he was a most estimable gentle man, elegantly cultivated and refined, he was a city gentleman and a kid glove gentleman. And it was really amusing to hear the farmers in his neighborhood comment upon the inevitable failure which he was destined to make. But he went to work, and such system in farm ing I never saw in any man. He was so minute in detail that he actually kept a daily record of the weather and the rains, ami he talked fanning with every planter with.whom he came iu contact. The re sult was in less than three years he was pointed to as the model planter in that whole section of country. When I left the county of Laurens in 18J 1 1 he was doing more to revolutionize the planting interests and to get it upon a higher plane than any man I knew of. Well, now the secret of that man's success was not in the fact that he had been reared to drive the pen instead of the scooter plow; but it was in the fact that howascapable of thinking, and he gave the subject of plauting thought, and combined the re sults of his matured judgment with ex perience and practice. And while it may be a digression from the discussion of my subject, yet I trust it is not out of place to remark that farming, like every other business, re quires the individual attention of those who follow it successfully. A combina tion of energy, physical and mental force, will surely reward those who combine them and drive them to the utmost capa city in the business of farming. And nothing else will give perfect success. Success may be approximated without these; but without these it cannot be fully realized. It is well for every farmer to thoroughly mature his plans in planting ' the crops allotted to me in this discus sion: and likewise to have his plans for | caltivating them matured and well de fined. And the rules which I have laid down, closely followed of ordinary years, will give satisfactory, if not the best results. But the plans of the wisest ami best farm ers may come in eontact with emergencies j which absolutely require a change in the plan. And when these emergencies arise it is indispensible that the planter should have his wits about him in order that he may turn the change in plan in the dinv tiou that will produce the best results. He is on the ground, sees and knows the condition of the soil, and lie must so di rect his cultivation as to produce the best effects on his growing crop. If he knows something of the theory of farming he may here combine that knowledge with what experience he possesses, and thus direct his movements in such a way as I will enable him to overcome the obstacles which may lie in his pathway. Our system of labor is often very troublesome and deficient, and our seas ons are very varied and without uniform ity. All these things must tie closely watch ed and guarded by the successful planter. He must keep all the parts of his lines in such order that if he gets, at any time, a fall, he will be able to catch upon his feet, and tin#! not be crippled by the fall, lie must never become discouraged, but al ways work for the best results and not be disappointed if he falls short of his ex pectations. He must remember that his is a high and noble calling, and that the world is made daily better off by his ef forts. That while he may fall short in some instances, there is in store for him and his posterity a glorious future, which Providence will in due season abundantly bestow upon him. — Col. J. J. Conner before the Stileabofo Agricultural Club. “Isn't that Mrs. Holmes? I thought the doctors gave her up. She looks well now.” “She is well. After the doctors gave up her case she tried I)r.

CROP REPORT. From the June report of Col. J. T. Hen derson, State Commissioner of Agricul ture, we quote as follows concerning the condition and prospect of the leading crops: Though a drouth prevailed throughout the State until the latter part of May, our correspondents report the growing crops generally several points better than last year. While cotton and corn are re ported somewhat late, both are reported m good condition—well worked, healthy and quite as promising as that of any crop for the past three or four years at this stage of growth. With moderately fair seasons from now on, it is safe to pre dict the best crop of cotton and corn since 1882. The oat crop has been disastrously af fected by the drouth, hardly three-fourths of a crop being hnrvested. In fact, part of the crop, on uplands, is too low to cut. The acreage in wheat is small, but the crop is well grained, and the yield good. Little or no rust is reported in either wheat or oats. Tiie reports of other food crops—pota toes, rice, sugar cane and ground peas— are very gratifying, and indicate a grow ing and more active interest on the part of our people in the production of home supplies. A comparative statement of the condi tion of leading crops in the different sec tions will be seen in the following notes: COHN. The condition compared to an average of fifty years is, in North Georgia, 102; Middle Georgia, I>C; Southwest Georgia, Oil; East Georgia, 9(1; Southeast Georgia, 99, and iu the whole State 97. WHEAT. The yield, or prospective yield in many of the counties of North Georgia, is re ported much above the average of five years. In Gordon county it is given at 118; in Catoosa, Chattooga, Hall, Mur ray, Pickens, Rabun and Union from 105 to 110; in Bartow, I)ade, Floyd and Gwinnett from 102 to 104. The average for the section is 95. The reports from Middle Georgia are not so favorable, only two counties reporting the prospective yield above an average, while that of the section is 75. The prospective yield for the whole State is 84, which is 14 points higher than the reports of last year's ciop on the Ist of June. OATS. The yield, or prospective yield, is, in North Georgia, 80; Middle Geornia, 50; in Southwest Georgia, 08; in East Geor gia, 74; in Southeast Georgia, 80, and in the whole State 72. Only ten counties in the State report an average yield; of these there are five in North Georgia, two in Middle, one in East and two in Southeast Georgia. COTTON. The stand compared to a good stand is in North Georgia, 99; in Middle Georgia, 95; in Southwest and in East Georgia, 97; in Southeast Georgia 98, and in the whole State 97. The stand is 14 points better than was reported for that of last year at this date. The condition and prospect in North Georgia, 102; in Middle Georgia, 97; in East Georgia, 95; in Southeast Georgia 99, and the whole State 99. fruit. There is little difference in the report of the fruit crop from that oi the first of May. There is almost entire failure of the peach in most of the northern coun ties, but about half a crop iu the south ern part of the State. The proi>ective yield of apples is re ported 02 per cent.; pears 47 jar cent., and grapes 97 per cent., or nearly a full crop.

About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on ray cheek, and the doctors pro nonneed it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing intense rain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I pr.> -tired some at once. Before I had used the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been Dad for two or tnree years—l ban a hacking eougn ana spit blood contin ually. I had a severe pani in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. Miss. NANCY J. McCONAUGIIEY, Ashe Grove, Tippecanoe Cos., Inch Feb. IS, 1886.
