A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in slckoess. He] will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives flercley, if only he may be near bis master’s side. He will kiss the nand that has no food to offer; be will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and rep utation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun iu its journeyings through the heav ens. “If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks ho higher priv ilege than that T>f accompanying him, to guard against danger, to light against his enemies.

The body of Mr. Beach was tenderly laid to rest by tbe side of bis son, Mr. James H. Beach, who died a little] over two years ago. The death of such a man as W. W.

AS TO CROPS OP GEORGIA Marked Improvement In Both Cotton and Corn—Peach Crop Will Briny |0,000,000 Into tho State of Georgia. Each crop year has Its own peculiar ities. and this is no exception. I#o*t year corn and cotton were retarded by cool weather, ralna and cool nlghta, while this year they were retarded over large areas by long-continued drouth. Yet tho farmers of Oeorgta raised paying crops last year, and we trust that by the blessing of Qod they will the same this year. At tho time that we sent out letters for information concerning the crop conditions for our MayJuno report, things did not look very promising, ex cept for fruit Since then there has been marked Improvement In both cotton and corn, and the promise of the best peach year ever known In Georgia has boon fulfilled. . With about $0,000,000 coming Into our State from the peach orchards and the hope of remunerative crops of corn and cotton, even If they should happen to fall below normal In production, our farmers should take courage and labor with renewed enorgy. Tho ravages of Iho cotton boll woovll in certain sections of Texas have nwjikenod con siderable apprehension among tho farmrs of the South. This post has not yet cross«*d tho Mississippi, and it Is to be hoped that tho measure* for preventing its spread may prove suc cessful. The Georgia Department of Agricul ture, the State Entomological Depart ment, the Horticultural and Agricul tural Societies held consultations nnd. th coutcomo of thogo deliberations Is tho legislation providing quarantine regulation against the weevil. While It behooves us to take every precau tion against Us Introduction into our fields, we feel assured that a remedy against thla Insect will be discovered, aa Has hen done In the case ot all pre vious enemies of our crops. Professor O. F. Cook, of the United States Entomological Durean, has been experimenting; with the Gusto, malnn ant, which, he says, is the great destroyer of the weevil and other ene mies of cotton and Itaelf In no way harmful U> crops. Of oourse. we aro Inclined to look with suspicion upon all such defenders, lest they prove as groat a poet as the English Sparrow. But, If tho Guatemalan ant It what Profosaor Cook claims for It, then wo can congratulate ourselvee that the romedy has ben discovered. Thore are some who claim that the South can. by a more scientific sys tem of cultivation, raise 15,00^000 bales of cotton each year, and*till others say that within tbe present lim its the South will some day raise 80, 000,000 bales. Whether these extrav agant flugres shall ever be roached la of little practical advantage lo/fs just now. Wo think we can congratulate our selves that for several years at least the supply will fall enough short of the demand for our treat staple, to In* •uro us remunerative prices and to put the prosperity of Southern farm ers on a permanent basis. ft is difficult under present labor conditions to see how our farmers aro to Increase the production of cotton. Perhaps It may bn done. If they can draw away laborers, that have flocked to the cities and towns. If they can do this. It may be to the detriment of manufacturing Interests. Will not In tensive farming go far townrda tho so lution of this problem? Some contend that In Immigration la found our best solution. Tho De partment of Agriculture Is In favor of progress and consider! tbe bringing Into Georgia of a desirable class of Immigrants a step in the right direc tion. Hut what we want Is immigra tion of Americans from other States of tho Union, people who aro Imbued with American idea* and a clear un derstanding of them, so that the South may continue to be, as In the pest, the best example of true Americanism In raco and In principles. SUGAR CANS. Encouraging reports come to us about sugar care. We have Informa tion‘that leads us to bcllovo that this Industry is taking on new life In Geor gia and encourages our hope that at no distant day tho Empire Stato of the South will take the rank that she Is capable of holding as a sirup and su gar producing State. In order to bring this to pass It Is not necessary to dveote a single acre less to corn and cotton, the two lead- ling staples of Georgia. We desire to see our State hold even a higher rank than now as a corn nnd cotton- growing country, but we will also glad, ly hall the day, when Georgia brings her Sugnr Cure Crop to n valuation v «t shall place It on a par with what -r* now our principal wealth produces la tbe fleld of agriculture. During the decade endlbg with 1100 South Georgia outstripped the other sections of the State In the Increase of population. This ought to moan much for the growth of tho sugar cant crop, the larger part of which la raise* la South Oeorgla. OUR EXPERIMENT STATION. The Experiment Station at Griffin under the conduct of Hoq. R. J. Red* ding and his energetic assistants, la doing a good work for Oeorgla la sending out valuable literature tbtough our daily papers, as well M In the great object lesson presented by the well managed farm. To the Influences of the Experiment Station near Waycross under the mai^ agoraent of Professor Arthur Given, of the United States Experiment Sta tion Department, la due In a very large measure the Increased Interest In the cultivation of sugar cane all over Southern Georgia. RAI8E YOUR OWN SUPPLIES. We have ho repeatedly given advice about the beat methods of preparing the soil and c Jfl\ sting various crops, that we will not repeut them at this time. But v.*o r -pent s; am the ad vice that we have given over fttid over and that we expect to continually of fer. It Im this: Let all our farmers raise their own supplies. No matter how low the price of anything t.'-i you purchase, it is not cheap, if you can grow it yourself. Raise your own corn, wheat, oata and hay, and make on the farm food supplies for man and beast. Have poultry, hogs, mutton and beef raised at home, and have milch cows enough to supply your table with milk and butter. Then you will reduce to the minimum the articles that you will ho compelled to purchase for table use. Your cotton or sugar cane will then bo money crops, giving you the ability to dress well, Improve your dwellings, pur chase tho best farm Implements and koop the best of slock, besides laying up for a rainy day. OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING. In view of progress already made wo feel that we can congratulate tho farmers of Goorgla as well as our merchants nmi manufacturers, whose success is largely based on that of our agricultural classes, on the Im proved conditions all over our State, and the bright prospect of Increased advancement by Georgia In population, wealth and all that goes to nUke a people groat and good. O. B. STEVENS, •. Commissioner of Agriculture. SOMETHING MORE ABOUT QOOO ROADS. One of the gernt needs of every fannor la a good country road on which to haul hla produce to market. Whore he possess thla convenience, he can dispense with some of tbe many horses or mules now absolutely necessary for the hauling of hla wag ons. which are subject to great wear and tear when drawn over the mud dy highways, eo common throughout Oeorgla. How to construct a good road la the first problem to be solved and how to keep tt In repair la a question of equal Importance. Good roads can- enot b constructed and maintained by merely grading and draining the surface of tbe ground. It la neces sary to surface these roads with aome durable material that will rnder them proof against tbe mud and slush that often prevail at tbe very seasons when tho roads are most needed tor the transportation of tho product of fields and market gerdens. Not only the farmer, but tha filer* chant also suffers from bad country roads or Is benefited by %ood, well graded end thoroughly macadamised highways. Often even In rainy seasons there are days when tbe people from the rural districts would flock Into the cities and crowd the stores, were It not for the mud that make# travel Inconvenient, If not impossible. There Is In Georgia abundance of good material for giving to a well graded road a good, solid surface, so strong that oven long continued end hesvy ralna will not convert it into mud. When such n road has once been built, then It Is necessary to keep it In repair and maintain its solidity# When n railroad company has con structed a road after the most scien tific method, of tbe beet of rail* nnd ballasted it In the most porfect man ner. It keeps a.permanent fore# of road bends, with Inspectors for ev ery section, and endeavors to keep every foot of track In thorough order. The same diligence Is needful to tbe kooplng of the best constructed country roed In good condition. To do everything that Is necessary both for the construction nnd proper keeping of such a road, requires a considerable outlay of money, but tho t ultimate profit to the farmer and tho merchant, the country and tho city, will far exceed all that may havo been expended. Many of the counties of Georgia are already blessed witc well built and well maintained country roods* and their number Is steadily Increas ing. Let the good work go on until every county In Georgia can boast of as good roads as those which are the pride and comfort of both town and country In th vicinity ot our great dtits and some of oar largo and rapidly growing towns.—-Georgia Department of Agriculture
