Not Just the Same.
The late Thomas Brackett Reed
was fond of telling the following
story regarding the bright little
office boy whom he kept in his
employ in Washington, and for
whom he prophesied a brilliant
financial career.
A gentleman calling on Mr.
Reed one day, while waiting in
the reception room, was attracted
by the manner of the small attend
ant there and started a random
conversation.
“And how much do you earn a
week, my boy?” he inquired.
“Fifty dollars,” said the young
ster with avidity.
Being shown into the Senator’s
private office just then the visitor’s
surprise found vent in words.
“Mighty bright boy you have
there, Mr. Reed, to be getting SSO
a week,” he remarked.
“Fifty nothing,” said Mr Reed;
“he gets $5.50.”
“But he told me just now you
were giving him SSO a week,” per
sisted the gentleman.
“Nonsense,” said Mr. Reed,
and he touched the bell. “Billy,”
he said, “did you tell this gentle
man I was paying jhm SSO a
week?”
“No, sir.”
“You didn’t? Well what did
you say?”
“I said I earned it,” was the
prompt and stout rejoinder.

Sugar Cane Culture.
We are now at the season o* the
year when all thoughtful farmers
are making plans for next year’s
crops, and all through the extreme
South or sugar belt of the country,
sugar cane is certain to be one of
the crops in contemplation, for
it is a universal favorite with all
farmers from the man that plows
the little quarter acre. Where
the object of the crops is to be
made into sugar, the men engaged
in growing it have been so long at
it, and have studied everything in
connection with its production so
thoroughly, that anything that I
might advance on the subject
would be superfluous, therefore,
it is to the smaller growers that
make the crop generally for the
products of syrup, that I want to
say a few words regarding past ex
perience in making the crop.
To begin with, land intended to
grow a crop of sugar cane should
be thoroughly well plowed to give
best results, and although the
crop is nominally a surface feeder,
deep plowing is advisable. The
fertilizing of the crop is one of
the most important things about
it, for upon the kind of fertilizers
used depends the quality of syrup
produced. A favorite practice
among the smaller growers is to
use cow-penned land ; this gives a
large yield of cane with low syrup
production, because the crops,
while to all appearances a good
one, is deficient in the perfection
of the sugar cells in the plant,
owing to lack of potash in the
fertilizer. If two hundred pounds
per acre of a high grade potash
was added to this cow-penning,
the results would be very much
more satisfactory. The soil of
the sugar belt of Louisiana is
rich in potash naturally, and
hence this element in fertilizers
is not so necessary there, but
where we have to deal with the
lighter sandy soils of the Gulf
States, potash must be used very
freely. A complete fertilizer for
sugar cane should analyze 10%,
potash, 8% phosphoric acid and
8%, nitrogen: from 1000 to 1500
pounds per acre of this should, if
the conditions are favorable, and
the crop given proper treatment,
prove a profitable investment.
The proper treatment of the
crop is one on which there is much
diversity of opinion. Some grow
ers use plows entirely and in
doing so, always go deep in work
ing the crop. This is a mistake,
as after the crop begins growing,
the millions of small rootlets
near the surface of the soil should
not he disturbed; shallowing with
sweeps and weeder is the proper
method, in fact, a plow should
not be put in the crop once after
the furrow for the seed in opened
up.
A prevalent idea among farmers
is, that this crop is hard on land
and won’t do to repeat it often on
the same land. The same can be
said of all rank growing crops, for
any crop that will produce from
25 to 40 tons per acre of dead
weight is bound to be hard on
land unless properly fertilized,
but when a crop is fertilized in
proportion to its yield and of the
proper grade, so that the growth
of the crop is provided for at its
planting, taking care that all pro
vision is made for what the crop
will remove from the soil, that
crop wilPnot prove a soil impove
risher by any means.
The seeding of the crop is an
expensive item if one has to buy
it to get a start with. It takes
about 1000 canes of four feet
average to plant an acre. The
generally recognized method of
planting is cutting the seed into
lengths of three to four buds each
and slightly lapping in the fur
row. The Lousiana method is
planting the whole cane without
cutting. Cutting the canes is
certainly the most certain way of
getting a good stand. In plant
ing, plant deep and cover shallow.
If a furrow is made with a good
size turning plow, going twice in
the furrow, throwing out the soil
on both sides, laying the canes in
this furrow and then crossing
these furrowß with weeder or har-
row, once or twice will be all the
covering necessary.
The fertilizers should always be
broadcasted and well mixed when
applied. The crop is an excellent
forager after fertility, and a gross
feeder and will give good account
of itself with liberal treatment.
There are several varieties of cane
is used, but the green, purple and
striped are the prevailing favor
ites. The Japanese or Swinga
variety is being boomed very much
in our state, but it is not any
superior to any of the varieties in
any way exc< pt perhaps in its
frost assisting qualities, and can
perhaps be grown in a more north
ern lattitude than the others, this
is all I can say in its favor, for
the syrup, it produces is not any
superior and the tonnage per acre
is if anything less than the others.
The above few remarks on this
very interesting and important
crop are given with a view of
stimulating the production of
sugar cane, for as a farm crop it
ranks high as a profitable one and
there is nothing intricate or difi
cult in its cultivation.

How To Find Ont.
Fill a bottle or common glas3 with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set

There Is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain In the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain In passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,

A CARD.
From Dr. W. H. Hale of the British
Medical Institute.
EditorNews-Gazktte :
Dear Sir: —During the past twelve
months the Macon branch of the“Brit
tish Medical Institute,” located at 354
Second street has given its services en
tirely free to over two thousand inva
lids, having charged each just a suffi
cient sum to cover the actual cost of
treatment. Nearly nineteen hundred
of these invalids have been discharged
cured, notwithstanding the fact that
many of them suffered from maladies
that had been pronounced incurable.
Numerous letters bearing evidence of
this fact have appeared in your columns
from time to time.
To give your readers a more intelli
gent idea concerning the maladies we
have cured in our Macon office during
the past twelve mouths, we give the
following facts from our books:
DISEASES. CURED.
Catarrh 213
Female Weakness 243
Files, Fistula 107
Goitre, Tumor 119
Cancer 69
Opium Habit 42
Deafness 160
Blood Poison 104
Rupture 56
Varicocele 143
Hydrocele 27
Weakness of Men 218
Skin Diseases 74
Sterility 64
Heart Disease 28
Miscellaneous 217
Total 1,892
The object of the British Medical In
stitue in giving its services free to such
a large number of invalids, and for such
a prolonged period was for the express
purpose of making its superior skill
known to the citizens of Macon and vi
cinity, and of demonstrating its ability
to cure Catarrh and Catarrhal deafness,
also male and female weakness, and,
Runture, Varicocele, Goitre, Cancer
am! all diseases of the Rectum.
This fact being now proven to the
great majority of your readers, it is
now in order for us to announce that
our office is permanently located in
Macon, and that on and after this date,
we will give only consultation free to
all invalids, that we will make a charge
0f52.00 for a thorough examination,
with, advice in each ease, and that our
charges for treatment will be as rea
sonable as is consistent with first class
treatment. Yours respectfully.
VV. H. Hale, M, D.
Macon, Ga., Feb. 2, 1903.
Don’t Kick.
If some brother is prospering or
getting along a little better than
you, let him prosper. Don’t grunt
and grumble; don’t kick. Say a
good work for him, look pleasant,
and let it go at that.
If you see your lodge is getting
along nicely, feel good about it.
Help things along. Don’t stand
around like a hump on a log and
waste your time feeling sore be
cause some other'brother has had
the sand to forge ahead and pros
per. Do a little hustling yourself,
but don’t kick. If you can say a
good word, say it like a man.
If you are sore and disposed to
say something mean, keep your
mouth shut. Don’t kick.
No man ever raises himself up
permanently by kicking someone
else down. We are helped when
we help our brother. Be ready to
give it liberally. It won’t cost
you a cent and you may waut
yourself some day. You may be
rolling in wealth to-duy and be
ruising whiskers to-morrow be
cause you can’t raise the price of
a shave. So don’t kick. You
can’t afford it. There’s nothing
in it.
If you want to throw something
fit somebody, throw roses, boquets
or cologne. Don’t throw mud.
Tin; 'Watchword of Women.
Modesty is woman’s watchword.
Whatever threatens her delicate
sense of modesty, frightens her.
For this reason many a wonian
permits diseases of the delicate
womanly Organs to become aggra
vated because she cannot bring
herself to submit to the ordeal of
unpleasant questionings, offensive
examinations, and obnoxious local
treatments, which some physicians
find necessary. Doubtless thous
ands of the women who have taken
advantage of Dr. Pierce’s offer of
free consultation by letter, have
been led to do so by the escape
thus offered from a treatment re
pugnant to modesty. Any sick
woman may write to Dr. Pierce,
N. Y., in perfect confidence; all
letters being treated as strictly
private and sacredly confidential,
and all answers being sent in plain
envelopes with no advertising or
any other printing upon them.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
has been long hailed as “a God
send to women.” It makes weak
women strong and sick women
