your kidneys once every three minutes.

kidney trouble.
4 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
, qver-working in pumping thick, kianey
pcisoned blood through veins and arteries.
i it used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
modern science proves that nearly,
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remeay is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold, on its merits
by all druggists in fifty

' GEORGIA FARMERS
' ARE COMMENDED
Commissioner Stevens Lauds
Them For Their Pluck.
RENEWED ENERGY IS EMPLOYED
Though Ove Mrany Sections of the
State Seasons Were Unfavorable For
Leading Crops, Farmers Have Not
Been Discouraged—Other Remarks.
Surely the Georgia farmers are to
be commended for their indomitable
; pluck. Though over large areas of
I our state the seasons were unfavora
ble for the leading crops during last
year, they have gone to work with all
the vim of men who are not set back
' by one or two failures, but are in the
habit of believing that the way to win
'fortune’s smiles is to compel them
! by diligent and persistent effort.
, In temporal, as well as in spirit
ual affairs, the old maxim is a good
■ one, which says “Trust God, as though
everything depended upon Him, and
I work as if all depended upon your own
i efforts.”
i It is the diligent man who finally
succeeds, while the sluggard always
finds a lion in the way. Fortunately
I for Georgia, few of her people are
■ found among the idlers. Hence our
’ greatly improved and still improving
methods of agriculture, our new and
’ thriving manufactories, our rapidly
: growing cities, towns and villages.
From our rural population come not
only the tillers of our fickle who pro
duce the things absolutely needed to
supply our great commercial marts
with all that trade demands and keep
the wheels of our great factories in
motion, but from the country there
flock into our great centers of popula
tion those who supply the infusion of
fresh blood and brains, without which
our cities knd towns would soon decay
and perish from the earth. Prosper
ous farmers make prosperous mer
chants and manufacturers, \ who, in
their turn, infuse into the country vim
and enterprise.
The Syrup Industry.
I * X
We are glad to see that new inter
est is being manifested in the sirup
making industry of South Georgia.
Already some of the best table sirup
made in the United States goes forth
from Thomas and adjoining counties.
That, which has been refined and put
up in cans and shipped from Thomas
ville, Cairo, Quitman and othr Geor
gia towns, has been pronounced by
many to have the best flavor of any
syrup that finds its way into the mar
kets of the United States.
It is with great pleasure that we
note that the United States govern
ment which last year appropriated
?20,000 to the development of the new
Georgia industry intends to double
that appropriation for the present
year.
The Department of Agriculture has
ever been active in its ef
forts to promote the growth
of the sugar and syrup in
dustry of Georgia, and is pleased to
acknowledge the great help given to
this cause by Captain D. G. Purse,
secretary of the Board of Trade of
Savannah.
Some Thoughts About Georgia's Ag
ricultural Wealth.
We are satisfied that Georgia’s ag
ricultural wealth is just in the dawn
of its development. Not long ago
in our city a lecture was delivered by
Dr. Conwell, of Philadelphia, who
took for his subject “An Acre of Dia
monds.” He began with a story told
him by a Persian camel driver during
one of his journeys in the Orient.
There was a man, so the story went,
who became very much discontented
with his fatm, so he sold out and
went into a distant country to search
for diamonds. Now the purchaser
of his farm was a very observant
man and one day noticed in a certain
acre of his land a black siibstance
which contained under their unpre
possessing exterior something which
sparkled in the light with great lus
tre. Taking one of the pieces to an
expert he was informed that he was
the possessor of an exceedingly rich
field of diamonds. This, said the
guide, was the beginning of the fa
mous fields of Golconda. The Observ
ant man thus became immensely
wealthy, while the one who sold out
and went abroad in search of fortune,
perished miserably at last in a for
eign land.
One net*J not go far to seek the
moral of tills story; for often at our
own homes i, aave the means of
wealth, if we a. diligent and observ
ant, not neglecting the opportunities
at our very door.
The Agricultural College.
Speaking of Georgia’s agricultural
development reminds us of the State’s
Agricultural College. The legislature
having decided that it shall remain a
while longer, at least, in its present
let all Georgians resolve to
assist its able president and profess
ors in their effort to make it a power
for good to the farmers. Many of
the best bulletins on various agri
cultural subjects that come to this
department are from the Agricultural
Colleges connected with the Univer
sities of our sister states. If we can
make our single Agricultural College
a success, then it may establish aux
iliary branches in proper locations in
our. state. Agriculture Is a science
and the man who. after growing up
on his father’s farm, and acquiring
practical experience, adds to this a
thorough knowledge of agricultural
chemistry, will understand the needs
of various plants and how to make
the soil supply the food which they
require for healthy and profitable
growth. While ev’ery young man has
not the means to attend an agricultn
college, those who can, if they im
prove their opportunities, may spread
among their neighbors the knowledge
which they have acquired. Every sci
entific farmer may thus become an
apostle of progress and bless his day
and generation.

TREATMENT OF PEACH LEAF
CURL.
(By W. M. Scott, State Entomologist).
Peach leaf curl is a disease which
appears in our orchards in early
spring, causing the young and tender
foliage to thicken, curl and finally
drop. Although it may occasionally
be seen on the twigs, its attacks are
confined principally to the leaves.
In the early part of the summer all
the affected leaves are shed and noth
ing more is seen of the disease until
the following spring. When an or
chard is but slightly affected, a new
crop of leaves is quickly produced and
the damage is slight; but when, as fre
quently happens, the greater part of
the foliage is involved, the tree is im
poverished, the present crop of fruit
destroyed, and future crops affected.
. Prevention by Spraying.
Few fungus diseases affecting cul
tivated plants have proven-more eas
ily or surely prevented Leaf
Curl of the peach. It has demon,
strated beyond question even
the worst affected orchardJJLy, by
proper spraying at the risjßfceason,
be practically freed of the 'pest, and
with a single application of the treat
ment. Numerous fungicides have
been used and recommended, but of
them all the safest and most effective
has proven to be the Bordeaux mix
ture. This should be applied in late
winter or early spring. After ihe buds
have become swollen the germs of the
fungus begin to penetrate the tissues
and the treatment is therefore less
effective, so that it is necessary to
begin spraying in time to finish at
least two weeks before the trees are
likely to bloom. A little later when
the young leaves have begun to push
out and the evidences of the disease
become apparent, it is altogether too
late, and a spraying, so far as the
leaf curl is concerned, would be a
waste of labor and material.
It is very important in spraying for
this disease that every part of the
tree be reached by the Bordeaux or
other mixture used, for if a limb or a
portion of a limb be missed the fungus
will develop upon it, and thus tend
to re-infect to some degree the rest
of the tree.
Formula and Directions.
Bordeaux is composed of a mix
ture of the diluted solutions of lime
and bluestone and may be prepared
from the following formula:
5 pounds fresh, unslaked lime.
5 pounds bluestone (sulphate of cop
per).
50 gallons of water.
As much as six pounds of bluestone
and an equal quantity of lime may be
employed with safety and perhaps
advantageously in some cases. How
ever, when it is desired to use Bor
deaux for brown rot or other diseases
after the foliage is out, the quantity
of bluestone should' be reduced to 3
pounds and that of lime increased to
nine pounds, because of the injurious
effect that strong Bordeaux has upon
peach foliage.
Slake the lime carefully with just
enough water to reduce it to the con
sistency of thick cream and dilute to
25 gallons; dissolve the bluestone in
25 gallons of water also. Then in a
sepai ate barrel mix the two solutions
first pouring in a bucket of one and
then a bucket of the other, or better
Si,!!, pooling then in simultaneously.
After, thoroughly stirring the mixture
and allowing it to stand for a few mo
ments it is ready to be strained into
the spray pump tank.
When thus prepared, Bordeaux is
at its best, consisting of a fine floc
ulent, pale blue precipitate suspended
in the water. If either or both of the
ingredients should be in concentrated
solution when the mixing is done the
resulting Bordeaux in coarser grain
ed, settles much more quickly and is
less effective as a spray. Even the
best will begin to settle quickly on
standing, and it is essential that the
spray pump be supplied with an agi
tator that will keep it stirred in the
act of pumping.
The bluestone may be gotten into
solution more quickly and readily by
suspending it in the corner of a fer
tilizer sack just below the surface of
the water, or by the use of a small
quantity of hot water.
When a considerable amount of
spraying is Jo be done, it will be
found convenient to prepare stock see
lutions by dissolving 25 pounds or 50
pounds of bluestone in an equal num
ber of gallons of water, while a like
amount of lime is slaked and diluted
to a similar volume. Then by dipping
out five gallons of either solution it
will be seen that an equal number
of pounds of lime and bluestone will
be secured, and the separate weighing
and dissolving of the small lots be
avoided. The two ingredients should
never be mixed unless diluted as be
fore described.
ARMY WAR COLLEGE
CORNERSTONE LAID
Military and Hasonic Cere
monies at Washington.
MANY NOTABLES PARTICIPATE.
Addresses Were Delivered by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Root and
Others —One Thousand Troops Took
Part In the Exercises.
Washington, Feb. 21. —In the pres
ence of an assemblage of distinguish
ed people, including the president of
the United Statee, ministers of the
cabinet and congress, justices of the
supreme court, representatives of for
eign powers, the cornerstone of the
army war college was laid here today
with impressive military and Masonic
ceremonies.
The occasion was rendered especial
ly notable and interesting by addresses
delivered by President Roosevelt, Sec
cretary Root and Major General
Young, president of the war college.
The site selected for the building is
on the reservation of the Washington
barracks at the foot of Fourth and
Half streets. Today’s ceremonies
marked the beginning of a project
which has been fostered by the presi
dent. Secretary Root and others in
terested iu the advancement and thor
ough training of the army.
While the foundation of the new
Btructure, which is to be practically
unique, has been only just begun, the
plans contemplated by the war depart
ment and by congress include the con
struction of an entirely new set of
‘buildings on the arsenal grounds.
Among other structures there will
be a hospital, barrslcks, officers’ quar
ters and an administration building,
all to be handsome and of the most
approved architectural design.
The army college grounds have been
selected as the site of the statue of
Frederick the Great, which Emperor
William has proposed to present to the
people of the United States. A pic
turesque feature of the ceremonies to
day was the participation of the mili
tary. About 1,000 troops, represent.ng
the various branches of the war ser
vice, took part in the exercises. They
were drawn from tho several army
posts in Washington and vicinity and
were In command of Major William
Black, of the corps of engineers.
President Roosevelt, accompanied by
his military aide, Colonel Bingham,
left the White House in a carriage at
11 o’clock. He was escorted to the
war college grounds by troop E of the
Third cavalry. In other carriages
members of the cabinet accompanied
the president. Two non-commission
ed officers rode on each side of the
president’s carriage to control the
horses and the privates were detailed
to each of the other carriages as a pre
caution against accidents. As the
president and party entered the
grounds, the president’s flag was run
up and a section of the Fourth bat
tery. light artillery, fired the salute.
The assembled troops paid the presi
dent the honors prescribed by the reg
ulations.
Grand Master George H. Walker, of
the District of Columbia, grand lodge
of Masons, and other officers of the
grand lodge, were escorted to the
grounds by the Second cavalry.
Tne ceremonies incident to the lay
ing of the corner stone were impres
sive. The assemblage stood uncov
ered during the prayer. President
Roosevelt was introduced by General
G. L. Gillespie, chief of engineers, U.
S. A. The president was given a cor
dial welcome.
Grand Master Walker, assisted by
the other officers of the grand lodge
of Masons of the District, laid the cor.
ner stone in accordance with the im
pressive ritual of the Masonic fra
ternity.
The ceremonies were concluded by
a benediction pronounced by Bishop
Satterlee.
