Attention Housekeepers!
IT/H Y waste time with the hundred remedies
£ I £ your neighbors suggest to you for the
destruction of Cockroaches, Hod Hugs
Hats, etc., when one box of the infallible STKARN'S
ELECTIHC I’ASTE will rid you of these ]>ests. It has
never been known to fail, and every good housekeeper
uses it.
Ask your druggist for it or box mailed on
receipt of 25 cents.
The Situation.
Thu following sensible vi ;W of thr
political sit nation is from tin* A m>-ricu*
Press, a ; d is worthy of uiorn than a
passing consideration.
It is about settled that the third par ;
ty will take a hand in the campaign
aud run a candidate for governor
Their orators will not lack for cum
paign thunder if they have kept on
hand files of the < 'oDilitufion anti one
or two ol its cheap echoes.
We would be willing to stake our
head—which is a valuable piece nl
property to us—against the price of a
Penny Press that the farmers of south
Wost Georgia have not been so inde
pendent ami su well provide I with the
necessaries of life in ten years as tbey
are today.
Three years ago limes were flush.
Everybody in town was ratliiug dol
lars in his pockets. The farmers, on
contrary, were hustling about, running
from this merchant to that one, asking
credit, wanting supplies. Isn’t that
the sober truth ? Didn’t we all see it ?
Today times are not so liush in
town, thiugh the Lord Knows Ameri
cus is neither dead tor yet sletputli.
Still the dollarisu't us numerous as it us
ed to be. Put you dout see any of the
larmers begging credit, do you ? Nov
much They haven't much money, it
is true, but they have hog and hominy
galore. And they didn’t buy it with G
cent cotton, either. They made it -
Now the sorehead editors, who tried
to get positions too big for their little,
iusigiilicaut brains and bodies to till, and
who have ceaseless'y urged the farmers
to btlieve that they are being down
trodden and oppressed by a democratic
president ami a democratic congress,
ought to Llu»li in tlie fade of this show
ing.
These fellows do nirre harm to the
stale t ban a thousand anarchists. They
are an actual detriment out of all pro
portion to their own importance. It is
a great pity that they cau't see this
That their eyes ure blinded by their
pitiful personal spite aud spleen.
To the farmers, deluded into believ
iug that he is being robbed, we address
no rhodomontude, no farrago of cheap
rhetoric. We ask him in plain, homely
words, to go out to his smokehouse and
count the hams, the shoulders and the
sides of bacon; to go »o the corn crib
and reckon up the bushels of grain
there; to compare his indebtedness with
his indebtedness two, tlnee, four, years
ago. Then let him lo kat the condi
tion of his brother or uncle or son who
has gone to town to live. After that
he cun read sorehead editorials, and, il
he is fool enough he can believe
them.
The man who writes this is a plaiu
workman, ami is glad a d proud that
he is. All his sympathies are with the
masses, to which he belongs. If he
thought that these malcontents could
bring prosperity to the workers lie
would be in their ranks u >w. Hut they
can’t. What do we men who work
want ? We want more currency, dont
we ? The repeal of the tax oil state
banks will give us tha'. And the dun
ocrutie party will repeal that tax. We
want cheaper clothes, cheaper iron,
farm implimeuts don’t we ? The Wil
son bill will give us this? We want
the rich to bear iheir full share of the
public burdens, dout we ? The iucome
tax will lix that.
In the name of common sense, you
other fellows who work, what good are
you going to get out of rending in
twain the party which is fighting for
these things. The democratic party
isn't perfect. It isn't half as good or
as great or as glorious as the campaign
orators tell you it is. Hut it is the best
party lor us. And if we go outside of
it to fight, we are simply courtiug cer
tain defeat and ofTering our throats to
the knife of monopoly and unscrupu
lous capital:
For God's sake, don't be fools.
Let us wage our war for iudustrial
freedom, for frte laud, for fiee men,
under the old Rag. Under its folds,
shoulder to shoulder, let us go forth to
tight in our just quarrel.

INPRIES ANSWERED
BY TIIE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE.
Relating to the Farm, Garden, Dairy,
Stock Raising, Etc.
THOMAS BLAO.
What is Thomne Slag? and what is
vonr opinion of it as a fertilizer?
H. I. L.. Blakely.
Thomas Slag is a bi-product of the
Bessemer steel pro. ess. It contains from
10 to 14 per cent of phosphorio acid, but
is so affected by the iron with which it
is combined as not to be readily avail
able. At tho Georgia station it is re
ported next in effectiveness to acid phos
phate.
CATTLE BREEDING AND FEEDING.
The Southern Planter gives some in
teresting information on this subject
which will lie read and appreciated by
farmers:
For several years past there has been
going on a gradual, but nevertheless,
certain and sure diminution in the num
ber of range cattle, and an absorption of
the ranges into enclosed farms. As this
has progressed, the value of the beef has
risen, until now it stands, on the av. r
age, more than fl a hundred higher than
a year ago, and nearly $2 per hundred
higher than two years ago; and yet, at
this advance, there is no over-supply of
the best animals. We see no reason to
suppose that this over-supply is likely
to be forthcoming for some time, < n ac
count of the fact that for many years
past, owing to low prices and the com
petition of range stock, the farmers
throughout the country have neglected
to keep up the quality of their herds by
breeding to pure-bred bulls.
In addition to this local scarcity, there
is now superadded the ci rtainty that
there will be a largo oxport demand for
Europe. Owing to the failure of the hay
and fodder crops on that continent,
'thousands of cattlo, and even horses, aro
being slaughtered to save them from
starvation. In England, half-fel beasis
are being rushed into the market and
sold for what they will fetch. With
such a prospect, why should not our
southern farmers give attention to this
business of breeding and feeding? We
have the grain, the cotton seed, and the
fodder to bring up and feed the stock,
aud it is certain that these can be fed to
pay a better price than to sell them on
the market. Besides all these advanta
ges, we are close to the great markets of
the east and the north, and near to tho
points of export. Another advantage to
be gained, and that not the least, is the
improvement to be made on our farms
by the manure which is made by feeding
stock. Thousands of dollars now spent
in buying fertilizers can be saved, and
yet the fertility of the farms be not only
conserved, but increased. Recently a
farmer from Piedmont, Virginia, came
into this city, on his way home from
Philadelphia.
He called to pay for some farm sup
plies, and pulled out a pocketlo >k wad
ded to repletion with currency, contain
ing many hundred dollars. The mer
chant had the curiosity to ask him how
he came to I <e carrying about so much
money. He replied, “I am just on my
way home from Philadelphia, where I
have been to sell the cattle I fed last
winter and spring, and this money is thi
proceeds of my sales. In addition to
this,'' he said, “I have sold a heavy crop
of lamlis this spring at $4.50 per head in
tho field, and have a rich farm upon
which I have just harvested the largest
wheat crop I ever grew, and I have not
paid, and do not owe, a dollar for fertil
izers. I make mine at home by my cat
tle and other stock." Now, why cannot
this be the position of more of our farm
ers? It can, and we urge that it shall
be.
BERMUDA AND WIRE GRASS.
There is n radient difference between
Bermuda mid wire grass which South
ern Cultivator thus explains: Bermuda
is a low, creeping grass, rooting at till
joints of the genus cynodon. Wire
grass belongs to the genus aristeda, ol
which there are nine varieties. It is a
dry, "harsh perennial grass with narrow
leaves.
FROM THE EXPERIMENT STATIONS.
In an experiment continued through
three seasons at the Utah station a com
parison is made of deep and shallow
tillage and no tillage for potatoes. Tin
average of duplicate plats for time*
years gives the yield of large and smal 1
potatoes on shallow tilled plats as
206.58 bushels per acre; on the deeper
tilled plats, 205.87 bushels, and on th •
untilled plats, 186.7 bushels.
J. W. Sanborn, director of the Ui b
station, rejxirts that two years’ exprr •
rnents in sowing oats at different dates
showed a marked advantage in early
sowing.
W. H. Caldwell, of the Pennsylvania
station, recommends as of most promisi
the following potatoes: Freeman, Green
Mountain. Burpee Superior, Ben Harri
son and Monroe County Seedling.
L. R. Jones, of the Vermont station,
advises the hot water method of treat
ing oats seed, not only for the immediate
benefit, but for the eradication of smul
from future crops.
Experiments bearing on the two meth
ods of tilling and check rowing corn
were made in 1891-82 at the Utah sta
tion. Corn checked, tilled both ways
and not hilled, yieled, 39 64 bushels per
acre; checked and hilled both ways. 36
bushels; checked, then tilled and hilled
one way, 42.84 and 43.5 bushels; drilled
aud tilled one way, 43.5.
