ABOUT THE FARM.
If much of the grain fed to hogs
in this country were given to poul
try, it would, it is claimed, secure
* much more profitable return.
Silage, or ensilage, as it is often
called, is green fodder which has
been more or less completely pre
served in an air-and-water tight
pit or box, called a silo.
Harness on the farm should be
oiled at least twice a year—once
in spiing and again fall. The
sweat and dirt should bo scraped
off and the leather washed in warm
water free from soap. Apply the
oil before the oil is entirely dry.
If one application docs not make
the leather pliable enough, put pn
another. This is better than to put
on a groat deal at once.
The objection is often urged
against harrowing winter wheat in
the spring that it will uproot and
destroy fall-sown timothy. In
practice, however, the apprehen
sion thus suggested has not been
verified. Possibly some of the tim
othy plants may be injured, and
this also is true of the grain, but
the remainder will grow so much
better that the sod will be thicker
the folio wing year where the har
rowing has been most thorough.
Almost all farmers know the
value of humus or vegetable mold
in the soil. Often they hold exag
gerated ideas of its importance. It
is not of itself necessarily an evi
dence of groat fertility, because it
may lack, and in some localities
generally does lack, the needed
mineral elements for making crops
of grain and grass. But where
humus is abundant, the complete
fertility that is wanted may be
easily supplied by the use of the
needed mineral fertilizer, potash or
phosphate, one or both.
The small growers of potatoes,
who mostly peddle their crop in
neighboring cities or villages, will
be surprised to learn how large h
business is done in shipping pota
toes in winter. No matter how
cold the weather, the shipper has
double lined cars, holding each
about 400 bushels, with an open
place containing a stove in the mid
dle of the car, by which the terns
perature is reguhted. All the dif
ficulty m shipping when the tern*
peiature is below zero is in getting
the potatoes inside this car with
out frosting them. Were it not for
this possibility of shipping potatoes
some of our large cities might find
this crop at famine prices owing to
inability of the local supply to fill
it.
The great mass of fruit tree purs
chasers all over the country are
farmers. Millions of dollars are
paid by them for fruit and orna
mental trees, which in many cases
might be profitably grown at home.
It requires some skill and care, but
the farmer will be all the more
successful in fruit growing if he
learns enough about the mysteries
of trees to grow bis own stock. He
can hardly hope to succeed at all
without such knowledge as would
enable him to cultivate, prune,
gtaft or bud the trees up to the
age when they are fit for planting
in orchards. Os course tree plant
ers are in too great a hurry to plant
from the seed and produce their
own stock, yet in securing thrifty
symmetrical trees true to name,
there are advantages more than
enough to offset two or three years
difference in "the time when the
trees will come into bearing.

A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.:
Dear Sir: My son, a man of 30
years, was attacked with La Grippe
and, believing it boos malarial or
ig»n, took your Johnson’s Tonic as
directed for chills and fever. The
result was he escaped the tev^r
which follows the severe aching,
and was able to be at work the
second day. I was taken with the
disease. Every bone in me began
to ache, and ray suffering was
great. I was compelled to go
home and to bed. I fully expect
ed to be there a week. My son
told me of his experience, and
urged me to take Johnson’s Chill
and Fever Tonic, 1 did so, took it
with regularity and through the
night, and was agreeably surprised
to see that no fever came. I con
tinued until 1 had eight doses—
felt weak and exhausted, but no
fever, and aching disappeared.
Next morning 1 had a good appe
tite for my breakfast, felt quite
well, and went to my business as
well as I ever was. Since then I
have tried it with like results on
two other cases. Yours truly,
W. W. Caldwell,
President and Manager.
La Grippe corresponds very
nearly with our Broken Bone Fe
ver or Dengue Fever. Johnson’s
Chill and Fever Tonic is a specific
for any malarial trouble, hence it
cures La Grippe.

How Farming Pays.
Col. Pink Jowers, the cotton
king of AVebster county, was in
Americus yesterday on business.
Besides being one of the most
successful farmers in Georgia, Mr.
Jowers has heretofore been a great
lover of the chase, and the merry
music of his hounds as they made
it warm for reynard has been heard
a hundred times amid the hills of
Webster.
But ho has grown tired of this,
and having disposed of his dogs, is
going to bend his every energy
this year towards making the big
gest cotton crop that he has over
made, and those who 'know him
know well what this means.
Last year, besides making splen
did crops of corn, oats, peas, pota
toes and in sac-t everything else
that grows upon a farrp, ho mar
keted more than 250 bales of cot
ton, and has many more in his gin
house at home that he will bring
in next spring.
As an illustration of his success
in farming, it may bo stated here
that from a field of 108 acres he
gathered and sold last year 115
bales of cotton. Os course it re
quired good work and lots of it,
together with heavy fertilizing to
do this, but it was done and with
good seasons it was done and with
good seasons it will be done again
this year.
Mr. Jowers has no knowledge of
the existence of Western smoke
houses* only what he reads of them
in the papers. He has 20,000
pounds of home raised bacon and
hams packed away in his big
smokehouse in Webster, and be
sides an abundant supply of corn
put aside for use this year, he has
more than a thousand bushels that
ho is anxious to sell.
Does farming pay in Georgia ?
Yea, verily.—Americus Times.

Georgia traveling men, proprietor

Cultivating Peanuts.
Presuming that many of the
readers of your paper, scattered
over the country, and especially
those of Virginia and North Caro*
lina, would like to hear something
from the prosperous ‘‘peanut belt”
of the Athintic slope, respecting
the ground pea, I will, by your per
mission, submit a short article.
The emp last year was enor»
mously large and of excellent qual
ity, a large portion of which is not
yet on the market. The prices,
however, are very low, owing
mainly to two causes—the magni
tude of the crep and the inability
of the farmers to control the mar
kets. Our farmers are tolerably
well organized now, and have
built factories for cleaning and
grading peanuts at many points
within this peanut giowing section
and are operating them, but were
too late to effect to much extent
the price of last year s crop. Be
ing ready another season we may
reasonably expect advanced prices
next fall and winter.
But it is nearly time to select land
and seed for the coming crop. A
light, sandy loam with sufficient
lime applied will grow peanuts.
The ground should not be plowed
deep, but shallow and well. The
hill rows should be slightly eleva
ted, and about two and a half or
three feet apart. About the first of
May is the proper time with us to
plant the crop. In Viiginia we
make a ridge of iwo-foot rows, and
upon that ridge we run a newly
invented planter which levels the
same and plants the kernels of the
peanuts about ten or twelve inches
apart or as may be preferred. Not
hsving<i planter a good way to put
the seed in would be to make the
ridge the distance apart and size as
befero intimated, and then taking
the mould-board off a single turn
plow, run it down the center of the
ridge, thus bursting it open and
sufficiently leveling it, and leaving
a furrow of sufficient depth in which
the seed may be planted and cov
ered with foot.
And as to the sufficient amount
of lime to grow a crop I would say
that a half ton of good shell or
rock lime to the acre applied in
the drill is usually 7 all sufficient to
grow peanuts even on fresh land.
Less quantities may be applied to
lands having been limed pre
viously. Another important thing
is receiving good seed. It is often
true that good looking peanuts are
very poor seed, because the germ
may have been effected by heat or
some other cause in the improper
curing or handling of them. With
good seed a good stand may be had
even under unfavorable circum
stances, but it may be hard to se
cure even an ordinary 7 good stand
with injured seed even under the
most favorable conditions. Good
seed maybe had by 7 curing them
perfectly dry, after digging, in
open air before bulking them, and
afterwards keeping them in a per
fectly dry place. Some have the
idea where the peanut is not grown
that the peanut should be planted
with the hull or shell upon it. This
is a mistaken idea; always shell
before planting.—J. C. Crumpler
in Home and Farm.
The alliance store at Broxton,
in Coffee county, is to be incorpor
ated, and a §IO,OOO stock will be
put in it.
Sometimes farmers when asked
how their stock are doing, answer
complacently: “Oh, they are hold*
ing their own,” which is intended
to mean that they ate neither los
ing nor gaining in flesh. It is
doubtful if such is really ever the
case. They are either getting fat'
ter cr poorer, and generally they
are getting poorer if the farmer
thinks they are about “holding
their own.” And this is not good
management, since a pound of
flesh once gained should never be
permitted to be lost.
The farmers of Georgia use
annually 300,000 tons of commers
cial fertilizers, so says Commis
sioner Nesbitt.* How much of
the cotton crop is required to
pay for this immense amount of
fertilizing materials? When you
have ciphered out that problem
then add to it the amount an
nually paid out for horses and
mules, and you will begin to
see where the hard earnings of the
farmers go to.

THE GREAT SOUTH AMERICAN
NERVINE TONIC
Stomach^Liver Cure
The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of
the Last One Hundred Years.
It is Pleasant to the Taste'as the Sweetest Nectar.
It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk.
This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into
this country by the Great South American Medicine Company, and yet its
great value as a curative agent has long been known by the native inhab
itants of South America, who rely almost wholly upon its great medicinal
powers to cure every form of disease by which they are overtaken.
This new and valuable South American medicine possesses powers and
qualities hitherto unknown to the medical profession. This medicine has
completely solved the problem of the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint, and diseases of the general Nervous System. It also cures all
forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the Great
Nervine Tonic qualities which it possesses and by its great curative powers
upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy
compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and
strengthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer of
a broken down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the
treatment and cure of diseases of the Lungs than any ten consumption rem
edies ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness
of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known
as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic almost
constantly for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely
over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable
value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will
give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of
many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year-
A SWORN CURE FOP ST. VITUS’S DANCE OR CHOREA.
Crawfordsville, Ind., May 19,1886.
My daughter, twelve years old, had been af
flicted for several mouths with Chorea or St.
Vitus’s Dance. She was reduced to a skeleton,
could not walk, could not talk, could not swal
low anything but milk. I had to handle her
like an infant. Doctor and neighbors gave her
up. I commenced giving her the South Ameri
can Nervine Tonic; the effects were very sur
prising. In three days she was rid of the ner
vousness, and rapidly improved. Four bottles
cured her completely. I think the South
American Nervine the grandest remedy ever
discovered, and would recommend it to every
one. Mbs. W. S. Ensmingeb.

INDIGESTION AND DYSPEPSIA.
Tho Great South American Nervine Tonic
Which wo now offer you, is the only absolutely unfailing remedy over discov
ered for the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and the vast train of symptoms
and horrors which are tho result of disease and debility of the human stom
ach. No person can afford to pass by this jewel of incalculable value who is
affected by disease of the Stomach, because the experienco and testimony of
thousands go to prove that this is the one and only one great cure in tho
world for this universal destroyer. There is no case of unmalignant disease
of the stomach which can resist the wonderful curative powers of the South
American Nervine Tonic.
Harriet E. Hall, of Waynetown, Ind., says:
“I owe my life to The Great South American
Nervine. I had been in bed for five months
from the effects of an exhausted Stomach. In
digestion, Nervous Prostration and a general
shattered condition of my whole system, 1
given up all hopes of getting well. Had tOeJ
three doctors with no relief. The tint bottle of
the Nervine Tonic improved meso much that f
was able to walk about, and a few bottles cured
me entirely. I believe it the best medicine in
the world. I can not recommend it too highly.”
Mrs. M. Russell. Sugar Creek Valley, Ind.,
writes: “I have used several bottles of The
South American Nervine Tonic, and will say I
consider it the best medicine in the world. I
believe it saved the lives of two of my children.
They were down and nothing appeared to do
them any good until I procured this remedy.
It was very surprising how- rapidly they both
Improved on its use. I recommend the medi
cine to all my neighbors.

NERVOUS DISEASES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and .harmlese in
all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individ
ual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are
dependent on nervous exhaustion.and impaired digestion. When there is an
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like
starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the
body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment
necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be
supplied. This recent production of the South American Continent has been
found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervoun
derangements.*
