proverbs
“ When the butter won’t
come put a penny in the
churn,’’ is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott’s Emul
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott’s Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott’s Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

the form of a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle ot
Emulsion you buy.

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
l>e commended for their indomitable
pluck. Though over large areas of
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 uffalrs, the old maxim Is a good
one, which says “Trust God, as though
everything depended upon Him, and
work as if all depended upon your own
efforts.”
It Is the diligent man who finally
succeeds, while the sluggard always
finds a lion In the way. Fortunately
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 mral population come not
only the tillers of our fields, 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 and 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.
W 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
vllle, Cairo, Quitman and othr Geor
gia towns, has beon 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 Depnrtmont 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 ' Board of Trade of
Savnnnah.
Some Thoughts About Georgia's Ag
ricultural Wealth.
We aro satisiied 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, ConweU, 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 farm, so he sold out and
went Into ft 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 substance
which contained under their unpre-
possessing exterior something which
sparkled In the llglit 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 fleldw of Goloonda. 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 & for
eign land.
One need not go far te seek the
moral of this story; for often at our
own homes we have the means of
wealth, if we are diligent and observ
ant. not neglecting the opportunities
at our very door.
The Agricultural College,
Speaking of Georgias agricultural
development reminds us of the State's
Agricultural College. The legislature
baring decided that it shall remain a
while longer, at least, in its present
location, 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 is

our stata. Agriculture is a scienc*
and the man who, after growing up
cm 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 bow to make
the soil supply the food which they
require for healthy and profitable
growth. While every young man has

prove their opportunities, may spread
among their neighbors the knowledge

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 summei 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, anew
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 than the Leaf
Curl of the peach. It has been demon,
strated beyond question that even
the worst affected orchards may, by
proper spraying at the right season,
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 the buds
have become swollen the germs of the
fungus begin to penetrate the tissues
and th treatment is therefore lees
effective, so that it is necessary to
begin spraying in time to finish at
least two weeka 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.
Tt 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:
6 pounds fresh, unslaked lime.
6 pounds bluestone tsulphate of cop
per).
60 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 eases. 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
separate barrel mix the two solutions,
first pouring in a bucket of one and
then a bucket of the other, or better
still, pouring 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 floe
ulent, pale blue precipitate suspended
in the water. If either or both of the
ingredients should be in concentrated
solution when the mixing i* done the
resulting Bordeaux in coarser grain
ed, settles much more quickly and is
less effective as a spray. Bven 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 to be done. It will be
found convenient to prepare stock so
lutions by dissolving L’s pounds or 50
pounds of bluestone in an equal num
ber of gallons of water, while a like
amount of litne 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 he mixed unless diluted as b
fore described.
CONDENSED STORIES.
How Mrs. Thomas A. Edison Makes
the Wizard Take a Rest.
The play of Thomas A. Edison’s
mind is as wonderful as the charac
teristic way in which he does his
reading. Outside of his technical
reading he is said never to read a
hook unless it is spoken of to him
by his wife or some friend. Then
he sits down and reads until he has
finished it. One evening he hap
pened to he unusually engrossed
with some problem and was nerv
ously pacing 1143 and down his libra
ry like a caged lion.
To divert his thoughts his wife
‘came in and picked up the first book
she saw. It happened to be “The
Count of Monte-Christo.”
“Have you ever read this story?”
said Mrs. Edison to her husband.
He stopped and looked At the ti
tle. “No, I never have. Is it
good ?”
Mrs. Edison assured him that it
was.
“All right. I guess I’ll read it
now.” And within two minutes the
problem, whatever it was, had been
forgotten and he was absorbed in
Dumas’ great story. As he finished
the book he noticed the light of day
peeping in and on looking at his
watch found it was 5 o’clock in the
morning.
No sooner had he laid down the
book than the forgotten problem
jumped inio his mind, and, putting
on his hat, he went to his laboratory
and worked unceasingly, without
food or sleep, for thirty-six hours. —

Dr. Miles* Heart Cure
Cured Me.
There is nothin" that has a more deleter
ious effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves
than the excessive u.-e of tobacco. Pain and
tend-rness around the heart, an oppressive
feeling in the chest, choking sensation in the
throat, discomfort from sleeping on the left
side and sip therir.g spells at night when the
sufferer has to sit un in bed to breathe are
the most common svqiptoms of a weak heart.
Smokers who :eel these symptoms and who
do not understand tneir meaning should be
warned in time, by the following exper.cnce:
“I was greatly troubled with an alfection
of the heart, due I think to excessive smoking.
On writing to you for advice 1 was directed
to begin a course of treatment which in
cluded Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. Dr. Miies’
Nervine and Nerve and 1 ivrr Pills together
with bathing, etc. 1 faithfully followed the
directions given and am pleased to say that
my cure is complete and permanent. Be
fore beginning the use of your remedies I
was so nervous i could not keep my handr,
still and suffered greatly from severe pains
around the heart. Many times at night 1
would be forced to assume a sitting posture
to get my breath, and for the time being it
would seem as though my heart had stopped
beating. Freon the splendid results achieved
in ray case 1 can cheerfully recommend Dr.
Miles’ Heart Cure, Restorative Nervine and
other remedies to all sufferers from heart or
