GREATEST BARGAINS EVER OFFERED I
We organized early in 1897, under the title national paper club,
working on the co-operative basis, furnishing our members, newspa
pers, magazines and various articles almost at actual cost, saving
each member on every order from a few cents to to several dollars.
Before July 1897. our roster showed nearly 400 members and by
January 1,1898, had grown to over 4,000. In spite of the war, hard
times and four cent cotton on Octoberl. 1998, our list had increased
at the rate of 200 per month, until now we are over 6,000 strong.
These are the reasons for this 1 Our members have found that
where several thousand are buying th** same thing together (or on the
co-operative basis ) newspapers, magazines, factories of all kinds give
the very lowest wholesale price on the smallest cash order, so as to
obtain all this trade, Now that we are 6000 strong, our opportunities
are greater than ever before and as we buy and sell on a cash basis
only, we name the price or hunt up a competitor and goods being
equal give him the trade.
Below are a few Bargains. Every one is up-to-date and every or
der secures one year’s membership to each person in the order. Your
membership, therefore, comes Free,
Rules 1. Remit by money order, express order or by registered

co-operative buyers.
Guarantee! all goods sent out are just as represented. When a
member is not pleased, w T e always refund the money. All subscrip
tions ar guaranteed by the •* American Subscription Union ” of which
this club is an active member.
We give a short description of the leading papers and fccoks in our club of
fer^
Jackson Economist, 8 pages, published weekly. Since the P. P. P. has
been suspended indefinitely, the Economist has been selected as State Organ for
Georgia of the Ptople’s Party. It is now over six years old, firmly established
and solid financially so that every reformer can dtpend upon getting all the
reform news of Georgia and the Union every week for the full time of his sub
scription. It has now a local support sufficient to insure its permanency and as
the state organ will| rapidly go forward to a large circulation without in
creasing its expenses 1 . The Economist should be in every Populist’s home in
Georgia.

Peach Output In Georgia.
Question —Is peach culture in Geor
gia likely to be overdone?
Answer —l think not. It is true that
the acreage of peaches will be greatly
increased by this season’s planting, and
that the demand for peach stock can
with difficulty be filled by the nursery
men. There will not, however, be a
greatly increased acreage of bearing
trees, and the corresponding increase in
additional markets, and in the popular
ity of the Georgia peach, will more
than offset‘the increase. There must
be a large planting annually to keep up
the present acreage, as peach trees are
short lived and many die each year from
various causes. It is probable that fully
one-third of the trees planted this sea
son will never come into bearing. To
grow peaches profitably requires the
greatest attention. Proper cultivation
and fertilization, careful pruning and
treatment for insect pests and diseases,
are necessary to success, and at least
one-third of the orchards of the state do
not receive such attention, and they go
down. The San Jose scale has caused
the destruction of over 100,000 trees dur
ing the past season, and probably as
many more will be destroyed before the
winter is over. If the borers are neg
leoted for two or three years, and dur
ing that time the trees produce a heavy
crop, the drain made upon their vitality
by the borers and the production of the
orop, will cause a proportion of
them to die.
Intending planters shonld not be dis
couraged by these statements, for they
are encouraging to those who intend to
giTS their orchards the proper oare.
Money can be o*4i in Georgia by the
intelligent fruit grower. It is estimated
that the peach growers alone have net
ted over $1,000,000 during the past sea
son. One party sold four cars of peaches
for $6,468, aud his entire shipment#
amounted to yo cars, some growers re*
ceived poor returns on account of bad
handling, poor packing and rascally
commission merchants, but good fruit,
well handled and properly shipped,
gave very satisfactory returns. I be
lieve there will never be an over pro
duction of choice peaches.—State Agri
cultural Department.
31:il<-s With the Staggers.
Question. —Two of my mules have
died with staggers. Is there any rem
edy for it, and what causes it?
Answer. —There are two varieties ol
this disease, known generally as blind,
and sleepy staggers, according to the
symptoms displayed by the sick animal.
In blind staggers the animal rushes
around recklessly, running against or
falling over any obstruction in his way.
In sleepy staggers the affected horse or
mule appears dull and stupid, standing
quietly with lowered head, or perhaps
with its head pressing against a fence
or wall.
The disease, however, is the same in
both cases, and being a brain disease, '. s
very hard to relieve or control. Som >
of the horse books assert that it is caused
by over gorging, but from my own ex
perience lam sure it is brought on by
eating damaged or rotten corn. It is
the general sentiment among farmers
that there is more damaged corn this
year than they ever knew before, at
tributable no doubt to the continuous
rains of last summer. Numerous com
plaints of this disease are coming to this
department, and I fear that the loss on
this score will be heavy throughout the
state. In feeding horses and mules be
very careful to see that they get no
damaged corn, or you are likely to meet
with losses from this very fatal disease.
When the disease is fully developed lit
tle or nothihg can be done to save the
animal, but if upon its first appearance
proper treatment is resorted to many
cases can be cured. The treatment con
sists in promptly bleeding the animal
freely, and giving a good dose of salts
or oil. If the medicine does not act in
two and a half or three honrs the dose
should be repeated. Prevention, how
ever, is better than cure, therefore you
shonld use every care to keep damaged
corn out of the horse stable.—State Ag
ricultural Department.
Wheat Sowing In Georgia.
Question —Is it now too late to sow
wheat?
Answer —Good crops of wheat have
been raised in the middle and northern
sections of the state sowed as late as
the middle of January. You shonld
have sowed about the middle of Novem
ber, provided the cold weather had by
that time destroyed the Hessian fly
which is very apt to ruin a wheat crop
sowed before frost.
To hope for a fair crop, planted a*
this late date, your ground must bs
rich, either naturally or by the liberal
use of fertilizers. Prepare the land
with extra care for the reception of tbs
seed, and do not fall to broadcast front
60 to 100 pounds of nitrate of aoda to
the acre when the spring growth com
mences. Then with a favorable set** 8
yon may make a fair crop of wheat
sure to follow your wheat erep with
peas sown broad oast; tney will not e*lf
give you a splendid crop of hay, b*
will also enrich your soil with niMf**
the most oostly of plant feeds.
