benefit'ed liy their perusal I never
knew so well before, bow to set nut
e'ips with ease, dlsjlntcn and success.
I rVTer to the use of a 3 /bn* board or j
stiifV, about,2 /riches across the point, j
to push the slip in the ground, and the
pn»<W|b of the dirt to the plant, by the

will * ever know* ‘(as the eaviiig is.)
that thev have been moved None of
your successful potato raisers, how
ever, told how to d'g them Possibly
because the time for so doing was too
far off, and it might be forgotten. I
have learned 'now to dig them, sc6itf<*n
tally, and can perform that part much
better than the raising and keeping—
though I am tolernb'y successful in
the former. As Tam always willing
to give an equivalent for what I re
ceive from others, I will give you the
plan, for the benefit of all not already
posted—being satisfied, that when
tried, it will never be abandoned for
any other. There i? n regular potato
plow, but I have never seen one I
eupposo that would be the implement
to use, if on hand If not, put a long
(not too large) shovel, full in the mid
dle, on an ordinary plow s‘oek. The i
shovel coming with the Brinly would j
be just right. Hitch a pair of good i
mules or horses, and split the ridge
with the first furrow The drieer upon
getting to the end, Poking back, will
thipk someone has come behind him,
with a basket of potatoes, and streived
them along the furrow. The beauty is
in the fact, that if ihe plow has been
put in as deep ns the team could pull
it steadijy, the shovel point has gone
"below, and lifted the roots, and there
■will be scarcely one cut. Then with
the same, or single horse, split cither
*idp—first picking up—and your pota
toes are all dug Under the old regi
me, with scooters or hoes, or the first
alone, many of the'roots'were ruined,
by running on either side, and then
splitting. The vines should first be
gotten oft, or they may choke the
■plow, so as to lift it out of the ground.
Mine never bother me, for I feed them
off to hogs, milch cows and mules, all
eating them greedily, bene fitting my j
stock and potatoes too. I am now
cutting either side of the row, some 12
inches from the hill, with an old
scythe, pulling off, by running a scoo
ter down each middle' and feeding
The vinos put out again rapidly, but
are checked enough to help the growth
of the potato.
Very respectfully,

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.
Almost Every Case Cured With
PAIN KILLER.
Read the following letter from Rev. R. Tel
ford, Missionary to Chi;.a, now visiting his
home iu Pennsylvania :
Washtnotss, Pa,, June 26, 1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis k Son, Providence, R.
I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some
ten years as a missionary in Siam and China,
I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most
valuable remedy lof that fearful scourge the
cholera. In administering the medicine, I
fouud it most effectual to give a teaepoonful
of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet
ened with sugar; j hen after about fifteen
minutes, begin lo give a. tablespoonful of the
same mixture every minute until relief was
obtained. Apply bot applications to the ex
tremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Kil
ler, cltar, and rub the limb? briskly. Os those
who had the cholera and took the medicine
taithiuhy ip the way siated above, eight out
ot ten recovered. Truly tdnrs, K. Telford.
In an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysonterv, or
Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all n.edicinj dealers. Price
25 cents, 50 cents and J! per bottle.
Swatow, China, Sept. 22, 1865.
Messrs. Perry Davis k Son : Dear Sns—l
ought to have acknowledge'! long ago the
box of Pain Killer you had the goodness to
send us last year. Its coming was most prov
idenlial. I believe hundreds of lives were
saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap
peared here soon after we received it. We
resorted at once to the “Pain Killer,” using
as directed for cholera. A list was kept of
all to whom the “.Pain Killer” was given, and
our native assistants assures us that eight out
of every ten tj whom it was prescribed re
covered. It has, too, been very useful in va
rious other diseases. It has proved an incaN
culable blessing to multitudes of poor people
throughout all this region. Our native preach
ers are never willing to go out on their ex
cursions without a supply of the “Pain Kill
er.” It gives them lavor in the eyes of the
people, aud access to families and localities
by whom otherwise they wouid be indiffer
ently received. Believe me, dear sir, grate
fully and faithfully yours, etc.

SCHOFIELD'S PATENT COTTON PRESS
.Patented September 3<l, 1867.
'PHIS PR £3B must commend itself to the Cotton Planters of Georgia for its Durability
I Simplicity of Construction, and the ease with which it can be operated by either Hand
Horsci Wateir, or Steam Power—the change from one to the other beiug effected in a lew
piiutues.
Another grtat advantage which this Press possess is, it takes up so little room that it
Oiav be placed io and tun in the Gin House, thus saving much extra labor aud loss of time,
the Cotton beiug placed in it a« fast a» ginned.
Occupying bin little apace, and kept out of the weather, this press is very durable, and
uot liable to get out of order, both the Screw and the Frame being of wrought iron.
These presses are all put up complete and perfect before leaving my establishment, thus
putting the purchaser to 00 extra trouble aud expense iu procuring a man to put litem in
running.
To show with what favor and satisfaction these Presses have been received the past sea
son, 1 append the following certificates and names, among many others, of gentlemen who
have used them :
llocstos County, Georgia, June Ist, 1868.
Hr. .1 S Seoh field, Moron, Ga :
Dear Sir —ln reply to tour note of the 15th ult., I have this to say in regard to your
Patent Cotton Screw : “IT FILLS THE BILL,” and is all you claim lor it. I regard it su
perior to any Press I have seen. I atn, very respectfully, K. H. EZALL.
Houston County, Ga., June 2d, 1868.
Mr. Schofield Macon, Georgia :
Dear Sir— Your favor at hand. lam well pleased with your Cotton Press. For pow
r and durability I don’t think it can be excell. and. Very respectfully, J. W. Wimberly
Americus, Ga., June 14th, IS6B.
Mr. J. S.Sch field Macon :
Dear Sir— We are it: receipt of your letter and in reply, sav that the Screw is a perfect
success, aud I have no doubt will have ready sale. We can pack 1,000 lbs in au ordinary
size bale with four hands. Very Respectfully, yours, J. R. PRICK k SON.
House Creek, Wilcox County, June 25th, 1868.
Mr. J. S. Schofield, Maron, Georgia:
Sir The Colton .Press I bougi tof you last fall, works well ; and lam very well pleas
ed with it. I packed with it about one hundred bales of Catton. | I consider the Press su
derior to all others for packing cotton, as it can be worked wilh less labor, and will pack as
heavy bales as any farmer wants. Wood Screws and Cress for baling cOtton must surely
give wav and place to your Iron Screws. All I regret, is, that I did not get an Iron frame
from you, Complete. Yours respectfully, S. D. FULLER.
