SAVE YOUR DOLLARS! Buy Through the Club And Save all Agents Commissions. 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 letter. Private checks must have 10 cents extra to pay exchange— otherwise they will be returned. 2. Write all names plainly with poet office address and stata. 8. All subscriptions (unless otherwise stated) are for one year. In any combination each paper can be sent to a separate address, so that two or more friends can join in any combination thereby getting a membership for each mid also securing their iavorite paper at the low' club rate. 4. Always cut out the club offer and enclose with your order, thus saving time and preventing errors. 5. Make all complaints direct to the paper at fault. This saves time and trouble and avoids confusion. Remember every new' member you get in helps you in the future to get a still lower price on anything the club handles. It is to your interest to get every friend to older something and increase the list of 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.

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.
