THE BAD BOY’S FOURTH OF JULY.
“How long do you think it wHI be be
fore your father will be able to come
down to the office?” asked the druggist
of the bad boy as he was buying some ar
nica and court plaster.
“Oh, the doc says he could come down
now if he would on some street where
there were no horses to scare,” said the
boy as he bought some gum. “But be
says he ain’t in no hurry to come down
till his hair grows out and he gets some
new clothes made. Say, do you wet this
court plaster and stick it on?”
The druggist told him how the court
plaster worked and then asked him if his
Pa couldn’t ride down town.
“Ride down? Well, ! guess nix. He
would have to sit down if be rode dowq
town, and Pa is no setter this trip. He
U a pointer. That's where the pinwheel
struck him.”
“Well, how did it &11 happen?” asked
the druggist as he wrapped a yellow
paper over the bottle of arnica and twist
ed the ends and then helped the boy
stick the strip of court plaster on his
noae,
“Nobody knows how it happened but
Pa, and when I come near to ask him
about it he feels around his nightshirt
where his pistol pocket would be if it
was pants he had on and fells me to
leave his sight forever, and I leave, too,
quick. You see, he is afraid I will get
hurt every Fourth of July, and he told
me if J wouldn’t fire a firecracker all
day he would let me get $4 worth of nice
fireworks, and he would fire them off for
ih the evening in the back yard. 1
promised, and he gave me the money,
apd I bought a dandy Jot pf flreworks,
and don't you forget it I had a lot of
rockets and roman candles, and six pin

THE BAD BOY'S ma COMES RGMR,
“When is ytrnr Ma coming backs
the grocery wan of the bad boy as he
found him standing on the sidewalk
when the grocery was opened in the
morning, taking some pieces of brick cut
of his coattail pockets.
“Oh. she got lAck at midnight last
night," said the boy as be eat a few blue
berries oat of a case. “That's what
makes ms r.p so sarU • Pa
The Hartavell Sun.
and it is a wonher to me they don’t send
you to some reform school. W hat dev
iltry were you up to last night to get
kicked this morning?"
“No deviltry, just a little fun. You
see, Ma went to Chicago to stay a week,
and she got tired and telegraphed she
would be homo last night, and Pa was
down town, and 1 forgot to give him the
dispatch, and after he went To bed me
and a chum of mine thought we would
have a Fourth of July.
C'
"He tried to stab me with his big toe nail."
“You see, my chum has got a sister
about as big as Ma, and we hooked some
of her clothes, and after Pa got to snor
ing WP put them in Pa's room. Oh,
you’d ’a’ laffed, We put a pair of No. 1
slippers with blue stockings down in
front of the rocking chair beside Pa’s
boots, and a red corset on a chair, and
my chum's sister's best black silk dress
on another chair, and a hat with a white
feather on on the bureau, and some
frizzes on the gas bracket, and every
thing we could find that belonged to a
girl in my chum's pister’s room. Oh, we
got a red parasol, too, and left it right in
the middle of the floor.
“Well, when 1, looked at the layout
and heard Pa snoring, 1 thought 1 should
die. You see. Ma knows Pa is a diy-n
good feijer, p}]g js easily excited.
My chum slepl with me that night, and
when we heard the doorbell ring I stuffed
a pillow in my mouth. There was no
body to meet Ma at the dejxit, and Ihe
hired a hack and came right up. No
body haarfl the bell Lut me, and I had to
go flowi) jmd let Mu la. pho was pretty
hot, now, you bet’ at not being met at the
depot.
“ ‘Where's your father?" said she as
she began to go up stair*.
“I told her 1 guessed Pa had gone to
sleep by this time, but I heard a good
deal of noise in th® room about an hour
ago, and maybe he was taking a bath.
Then I slipoed np stairs and looked over
the banisters. Ma said something about
heavens and earth, ami where is the hus
sy, and a lot of things I couldn't hear,
and Pa said damfino, and it’s no such
thing, and the door slammed, and they
talked for two hours.
“I s’pose they finally layed it to me,
as they always do, 'cause Pa called me
very early this morning, and when 1
came down stairs he came out in the
hall, and his face was redder'n a beet,
and he tried to stab me with his big toe
nail, and if it hadn’t been for these
pieces of brick he would have hurt my
feelings. I see they had my chum’s sis
fer’s-Qlpthes all pinned up in a newspa
per, and Is posts when 1 gp back I shall
have to carry them liotne, anJFtben she
will be down on me. I’ll tell you what, F
have got a good notion to take some shoe
maker’s wax am] stick piy chum on my
back and travel jvitl, 4 circus as a double
headed Roy from Borneo- A fellow could
have more fun and not get kicked all
the time,”
And the boy sampled some strawber
ries in a case in front of the store and
went down the street whistling for his
chum' who was looking out of an alley
to see if the coast was clear.
CHAPTER V.
HIS PA IS A DARN COWARD.
“I suppose you think my Pa is a brave
man,” said the bad boy to the grocer as
he was trying a new can opener on a tin
biscuit box in the grocery, while the gro
cer was putting np some canned goods
for the boy, who said the goods were for
the folks to use at a picnic, but which
were to be taken out camping by the boy
and his chum.
“Oh, I suppose he is a brave man,” said
the grocer as he charged the goods to the
boy’s father. “Your Pa is called a mar
jor, and you know at the time p| re;
union he wore a yeferan badge gnfl talked
to the boys about bow they Buffered dur
ing the war.”
"Suffered nothing,” remarked the boy
with a sneer, "unless they suffered from
the peach brandy and leather pies Pa sold
them. Pa was a sutler—that’s the kind
of a veteran he was—and he is a coward.”
“What makes you think your Pa is a
coward?” asked the grocer as he saw the
boy slipping some sweet crackers into his
pistol pocket
"Well, my chum and me tried him

Jtiwuscitatlng the Appaeentty Mrowaod.
A new method, th-j general princi
pie of which is indicated by it?, name,
"the traction of the tongue,” has
been introduced by Professor J. V.
Laborde to revive those who have
been rescued from a watery grave.
It is exceedingly simple and has been
pttegflefl with striking results. In a
person who has been long immersed
in water or otherwise asphyxiaUsl
it suffices to seize the tip of the
tongue and pull upon the tongue
rhythmically so as to cause rhyth
mical traction in imitation of the
respiratory rhythm. The process
should be kept up for a long time.
If it is successful, the person gives n
deep sigh, and sometimes vomhiug
occurs, and after that, if the trac
tion be continued, respiration is usu
ally speedily restored.
Professor Laborde has had occa
sion to employ the process, and with
.jflmpgt invariable success, in cases of
apparent deatß froE} -drowning, and.
pr. piUQthtmobtained exceUant re-'
suits in testing ite efficacy in cased- Os
pewer gas poisoning. The proces?
has been used by Professor Luborta
for some time in cases of apparent
death under the action of chloro
form in the case of animals operated
on in the laboratory.—New York

HIS MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of General Interest Per
taining to the Farm and
Garden—Good Advice.
*.
Department Os Agriculture,
Atlanta, August 1, 1893.
COTTON, ITS GENERAL CONDITION.
The present crop year has, so far been
ftffl of disappointment and hope ‘de- |
ferred. The cotton* over a very large
territory, embracing I may' say fully.
two-thirds of the cotton belt, has had
to contend against almost overwhelm
ing disadvantages. First, the cold
spring retarded the planting and when
that was at last accomplished, heavy
rains set in, which so packed the lands
that the seed germinated but imper
fectly. In consequences the “stand”
was generally defective and was farther
injured by ths very high winds
cool mights, which followed each raiq.
Then, as if to pat the final distructive
touch to the already suffering plants,
lice, which always flourish anting a
cool spring, have done their utmost.
Such however, is the recuperative
power of the cotton plant, that as soon
as the warm, growing weather of June
set in. the crop bounded forward. But
we are now in the latter part of July
confronted by the anomalous condition
of too much rain in the southern and
southwestern portions of the state, and
a stubborn routh in the higher lati
tudes. Tlie general crop has been so
much injured by all these adverse im
fluences, that its condition is most un
satisfaotorg. In exceptionally favored
localities, where the seasons have been
propitious the crop is most promising,
but in other sections its condition is
most unpromising, and my deliberate
(.pinion, after personal observation in
different sections, and a careful coni?
parison of the reports of correspondents,
is that the yield will be greatly re
duced, unless we have uupreceutly fa
vorable seasons from this time forth.
CORN.
In the southern part of the state the
crop is fine, but in the more northern
portions, the yield has been fearfully
cut off. As >t IS too late now to expect
any favorable change, the crop, even in
the more northern counties being too
far advanced to be affected by even
most favorable seasons it behooves us
to turn our attention to other food
.crops, which it is not yet too late to
pro.vide for.
POMABE t’ROtU.
In tho?e sections •of the state that
have Wen spared the protracted drouth,
and where it is yet possible to save such
crops, file farmers would do well to
save every, liinde of grass, cultivated
or otherwise, of fodder, of pea vines,
in shuil, every thing, which can be
oqred hay, Thy pulling of the fod
der may injure th# corn to a certain ex
tent, but nt the south, we have not yet
learmd to substitute other crops. When
the farmers have learned to sow, culti
vate, and harvest other crops, which
can take its place, they will find them
more profitable, and we shall see corn
fodder relegated to the rear. But until
then 1 would advise the saving of the
foddef, nlthoua’u when we consider
the amount of manual labor envolved
and the small return, it seems a grave
agricultural mistake, “Pulling fodder”
is laborious, hot, and tedious work. In
a given time one good hand, with a pair
of mules and a good mower, will so far
outstrip the fodder pulling process, in
the amount and value at the hay
gathered, us to leave no reasonable
doubt of its superior advantages. The
time for planting grass and clover
should be early in September, and lest
this should be carelessly or hastily done
the best plan is to begin in July and
have everything in readiness. Tho
failures ur these crops are often due to
the want of care in putting out the
manure and preparing the laud. Re
munerative Tops need npt be expected
without thorough preparation qudheavy
manuring. v*o¥ e *, ift'ws, turnips a)

desirabletcrop sot the table in winter
and spring. I have always found it
best to sow it the drill the land being
rich and we»i-prepared. As a protec

be thrown tp each side with a tnrn
plow afid tuts will answer until the
very heavy ./eezes of December, when
they should *'e taken up and'bankqq.
• sweet potatoes'
should never be “laid by” fire. See
that the crop is clean, and after the
last working, gq over it with a fork and
Iqpsen |hf> vines that haye taken root
in the Any potatoes which
form here will be. small and worthless,
and will only take away that muoluma
terial from the main crop,
OATS,
My experience has been that if oats
are sown early enough there is little
danger of winter killing. If the lend
is thin the sooner they are sowed the
better, in that they may. more success
fully resist the cold. But it is bad
policy to sow oats on poor land. Sow
winter raised seed. Sow on godd laud
or manure liberally. Sow early and
the evidence is that where the crop
succeeds, and if these conditions exist,
it is al meat certain to succeed, it will
be worth two spring suwa crops.
RTE AND BARLEY.
As far as possible all fields not sown
in oats or wheat should be sowh in rye.
It is one of the hardiest winter grainy
and may be sown from the Ist of Sep
tember to tho Ist qf December. It w{ll
grow on poor land, and if turned under,
will gre .Uy aid in bringing it tq a better
state of productiveness. Southern seed
are preferred, those from Virginia will
do, but western seed should not be
used. Any of these grains crops pre
vent washing and if the land is made
very rich, several cuttings can be ob

August A'. Klages, 810-St. Charles
street, Baltimore. Md., writes: “From
asy youth I suffered from a poisonous
taint in mr blood. My face and body
•sctntinualjly affected with eruptions

had nth - C
vegetable matt.r nee led for future
urops. Where this is not practicable on
large areas, the farmer will find a small
patch of cither rye or bnrely a great
help in wintering his stock. Make the
tot very riehjand the seeding very heavy,
and the plants will attain a rapid
growth after each cutting. Nothing
is more conducive to health among
stock of all kinds than this green food,
and the farmer, who tries it, will re
joice in well kept horses and mules,
and golden butter, even in mid winter.
GENERAL FARM REPAIRS,
Now is the time for righting up the
fences, cutting the coffee weeds, thistles
and other plants of noxious growth to
prevent the maturity of their seeds for
another year’s crop, z The sassafras
sprouts, if dug up now will not grow
again, There axe many rich spots on
live, well c- nducted firms, that should
be reclaimed, and a little judicious
cleaning and ditching now will put
them in condition for planting next
spring. "
One of the greatest needs of the
south, is a sensible, judicious and syste
matic plan of
manuring,
which will enable the farmer not only
to make better crops, but to improve
his lands, We should have, not so
mqoh a change of crops, as better and
cheaper methods of making those crops,
and these better methods are dependent
in large measure on a more comprehen
sive stndX and understanding of this
important qpestion of suitable manures
and their proper application. Until we
investigate more closely soil conditions,
and the causes of deterioration, we are
not prepared to deal with this question
inteuigifatly. R. T. Nesbitt,
Commissioner.
COTTON.
Root Rot —Iti Cause and Remedy.
As several inquiries have been made
on the subject of root rot in cotton, we
reprint the reply of the department as
it appeared in the Early County News:
I note in the Early County News that
owing to the amount of damage done to.
the cotton crop in your section of the
state by “root rot,’ 1 it is suggested that
the opinion and advice of the depart
ment of agriculture .be asked on this
stffiject. For this reason I take the lib
erty to present what seems to me the
most reasonable cause of the disease and
most practicable remedy.
Perhaps, on ths pause of no other dis
ease tq which staple crops are subject
have amh a variety of opinions existed
a<“root rot.” In Texas, where cotton
mri other plant life have suffered greab
ly, many have been inclined to attrib
ute it to certain mechanical op other
conditions of the soil. These conditions
are applipaJp tq Georgia in bqt * few
Instances and certainly not a large num
ber of fields upon which the disease has
made its appearance, and I am there
fore inclined to dismiss anything that
looks to the mechanical or chemical
condition of the soil as the direct cause
of the rot and to regard such conditions
only as favoring the development and
spread Os the disease.
In an elaborate bulletin issued by the
Texas experiment station, after thor
ough experimental work and scientific
investigation, the following conclusion
was reached: “Root rot” in cotton is
caused by Ozonium Auriconnm. The
fungus has been found upon al| roots
which have died from |h o disease. I
have nq doubt of the correctness of
this determination and it is substanti
ated by the infectious character of the
disease and directly by inoculation of
other plants and soils.
Having determined the cause science
would be useless could it not suggest a
remedy or Ut least a palliative. It was
thought that fungicides might prove
beneficial and to ascertain their effec
tiveness a number of experiments were
conducted. The parasite being in the
ground and the plants tender, the ex
periments were not satisfactory. An-,
other method adopted was to depriva
the parasite of the plants upon which
existed, as such plants harbored she
cause and spread the disease.
•Investigation shqwe<T that
in addition to cotton attacked a num
ber of forest troeA awpet potatoes, some
weeds aqd (WW plants, consequently
such plants increased the fungus. Study,
however, demonstrated that corn, wheat,
oats, rye and all the grasses did not suf
fer from the fungus and that rotation
with these crops resulted in rapidly.di
minishing the parasite. The- following
rotation has been successfully tried:
Plant corn after cotton and cotton and
small grain after corn. As soon as the
corn is gathered, prepare for small
grain, and iu August and September,
while there is a green coat of vegeta
tion on the stubble turn it under as
sdeep as possible.
X -In concLwoarJ. wall i»
not surprising, that when cottonTf"
planted year after year on the same
land, insects and disease should increase
until the crop is nearly totally destroyed
and that a judicious method qf rotation
is the only way to avoid such results.
FERTILZERS.
Are the fertilizers sold in other
■tates about the same thing as tnose
sold in Georgia? S. M. C.
There is but little difference in the
character of the complete fertilizer sold
in the various southern states but a
marked difference between the south
and the middle and eastern states. Ic
these states the usual formula used
contains much more potash and nitro
gen with about the same ameunt of
phosphoric acid. It is a question to be
greatly considered as to whether in the
south it would not be advadtageous to
use higher grade goods.
HEATING MANURE.
Do heating increase the plant food in
manure 2 * J. H. H.
The effect of heating on stable ma
nure is not to increase the actual ele
ments of plant food but to better its
mechanical condition and render it more
available. The heating should not' be
too severe, or allowed to continue too
long, as the result would be injurorous
as amonia would escape.
YELLOWS,
The leaves of my peach trees turn
yellow and the trees die. What is the
matter with them ? C.' O. A.
The disease of which the trees are
dying is known as yellows. As yet io
remedy has been discovered which will
check it It is beet as soon as a tree is
affected to cut it down and burn it as
tn this way the spread of the disease is
to some extent prevented. The roots
should also be removed from the soil.

SELLING A SECONDHAND STOVE.
Experience of a Man Who Decided -to
Give Up His Flat.
“Did you ever try to sell your
heating stove when you gave up
your Hat to send your missus out
into the country?” pathetically in
quired a married man. “Well, if
you’re any way proud or stuck up,
it will be good for you. You go to
the stove dealer to whom you paid
$5 for 20 cents’ worth of Russia iron
pipe and half an hour s work. You
say you guess you’ll move into a
gteam heated flat in the fall, and
you don’t care about storing the
stove. He knows it’s a good stove,
because he told you so when he and
you got the landlord to put a jack on
the chimney.
“ ‘Oh, I never buy a secondhand
stove,’ he says. You try other deal
ers. They want to know where you
got the stove and look at you as if
they thought you stole it. It’s been
a lesson to me. I’ll never steal a
stove, hot or cold, no matter how
hard up I get. Too hard to get rid
of it.
“So I went to a secondhand store.
Dusty old place. Things in it nobody
would eve? buy. Old man ia there
varnishing up a child’s high chair.
Told him I wanted to sell a heating
stove. He never said a word for five
minutes. I went on and described
the stove so that a total stranger
would recognize it if he met it on
Broadway. Old man said nothing.
I waited. Finally he looked up and
asked: “Well, what it is? What you
ask for that stove?’ I told him 1
didn’t know exactly. I’d sell it
cheap.
“Old man said nothing. I gave
him my address. I waited.
" ‘Well,’ said the old man, ‘some
day I got nothings else to do I go
me on that place. I got me no time
•to tell other peoples their business.’
That’s all he said to me. I can’t lie
gin to teR you how insulting his
spanner was. The more I thought
about it the madder I got. Half an
hour later I went back and said to
him in as bitterly sweet tones as i
could get up: ‘Although we may be
unable to strike a bargain, I want
tq thank you for your gentlemanly
treatment. I should like to meet you
“Did it freeze him?”
“Course not. ‘Oh, that’s all right,’
he said and nodded his head patron
izingly and went on varnishing the
baby’s high chair." New York

The Devlin* Qf Uutwartl Mourning.
The decline es mourning has been
gradual for several centuries and
seems to keep pace with the growth
of civilization. Men no longer insist
on having all the women folk of
their family slain at their obsequies
as did our forefathers in pre-Chris
tian times, nor yet do we cut off the
tails of our horses and rend our gar
ments as tokens of grief. Even the
church is with us in the matter, and
by order of the pontiff at Rome sev
eral pastorals have been issued in
Italy and other foreign countries pro
testing against and condemning the
luxurious character of funerals, and
especially against the abuse as re
gards the amount and value of the
flowers. These pastorals have like
wise been taken as a text by several
leaders of the Anglican church in
and the Lutheran
chwvh inGenhaiiy, With fe refill
that far greater simplicity is being
observed just now in matters per
taining to funerals.—New York Trib

Little I. Knoira of the History of the Cane.
The fashion or habit of carrying a
walking stick or some article of the
same nature seems to have existed
from the remotest antiquity. The
spear of the warrior, the shepherd’s
staff, the club, baton, rod or wand of
office are all developments of the
same idea. It has been used not only
as a support to the body, but to lend
dignity and grace to the individual
and as a means of defense. In mod
era times the use of walking sticks
has increased enormously, and today
the manufacture and use of these
articles are cultivated almost to the
extent of a fine art But, though
popularand well known, as an article
of every day nee, very little is known
%bout the walking stick as an article
of epminerce—where it comes from,
who makes it and how it is made.—
