of necessity. The presence of fungus
diseases and insect pests is the main
cause of disappointment in our fruit
crops, and also pf the early decay of
orchards, whioh should continne in
bearing for an indefinite period. The
value of these spraying remedies has
been so clearly demonstrated by the
experiment stations anu uy individual
tests of large fruit growers that we oan
no longer doubt their expediency or
economy. In fighting these pests the
warfare must be aggressive as well as
defensive, and should have been iuaug
urated earlier in the season; but it is
not yet too late to use some of the rem
edies which I give below.
Apple—(Scab, cadlin moth, and bud
moth ) —Wnsu blossoms have fallen,
bordeaux and arseuites—the same, 8 to
1 days later; 10 to 14 days later, bor.

grown, ammoniaoai copper carbonate;,
5 to 10 days later, the same; and 5 to 10
days lator repeat, if necessary.
Pear —(Leaf blight, scab psylla. cad

kerosene emulsion forcibly for psylla;
10 to 14 days later repeat, if necessary.
Raspberry, blackberry,': dewberry.—

The above extracts, with the follow
ing formulas, are from careful test3 at
Cornell Experiment station. As to the
manner of application and other de
tails, we havfe not space to particular
ize. A sprayer, of course, is necessary,
and you might write to Cornell for ex
plicit directions.

amount ofpw&terJi Then mix thortwo
and add ehoa-h water to make 40 gal
lons. It is then ready for immediate
use but will keep indefinitely. If the
mixture is to be used on peach foliage
it is advisable to aid an extra pound of
lima to the above formula. When ap
plied to* such plants as carnations or.
cabbages it will adhere better if • about
a pound of hard soap be dissolved in
hot water aud added to the mixture.
For rots, mou:ds, mildews and all fun

AMMONIATSD COPPER CARBONATE.
Copper carbonate, 1 ounce; Ammo

same purposes ar bordeaux mixture.
FORMULAS —COPPER SULPHATE SOLUTION.
Copper sulphate, 1 pound.
Water, 15 gallons.
Dissolve the copper sulphate in the

The Me Not Needed.
A MASSACHUSETTS TOWN 1
HEARS AND WONDERS.
WXrt Miracle wu Thcrel TwbM
Limbs and a Crooked Neck
Straightened. ’
(From the Taunton, Mass., -Gazette*)
Ovpr in the town of Wrehtham, fl&mM
everyone is agog with excitement. A vidia
who had b.jen physically dfforoad for four
years, sad who was the object of the pity of
the entire town, has liad her limbs straight
ened out, her head again made erect by the
straightening of her neck, and is running ;
about town now with the freedom and
ah in Jon of any child.
Mary S. Fuller is the name of the little
cripple. Many of our readers will remem
ber her. She is but a child of 8 years, and
h.M spent the past four years in bed, hope
lessly crippled. Rheumaticfayer fouryears
ago attacked the nerves and cords of her
lower limbs and neck, so that the former
were drawn all out of shnpeand twisted and
bent backwards in n pitiable manner; and
the cords of the latter were so tightened on
one side as to draw her head down on her
shoulder. Her arms, too, were helpless,
and neighbors’ hearts bled at the little one’s
suffering. The progress of the disease re
duced her to a skeleton, and the poor mother
has almost given her own life forthatof the
child, in her untiring watching at the little
One’s bedside. Four vearsof watching! four
years of waiting! and at last the child be
gan to mend, her cords relaxed, her nervous
system gathered strength and power, and
to-day, as stated above, she is running about
the town a vigorous and happy child. Wren- -
tham rejoices, physicians applaud, and new
methods in nerve treatments have been suc
cessfully vindicated. Formerly the surgeon
would have been called on in‘ this case to
straighten the limbs. Now the idea is to
work in harmony with nature so far as pos
sible, and to this end remedies are employed
which assist nature, supplying to the weak
ened parts the chemical properties they
need. For instance, in the above case,Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People were used,
and effected the cure easily and naturally.
The mother of the child said: “ She had
been given up by four doctors, who were
certain that they could not cure her. Why.,
•he couldn’t open her mouth, and I actually
had to force the food into it. Her mouth
was all sores, and, oh dear, what a looking
child she was, and such a care! Nobody
bat myself knows what a trial we both have
been through, for she was too young to re*,
lize it. If my statement will do anybody
anv good I shall be glod to have it pub
lished, and if those who read It will only
come to rue. iftiwjr are skeptical I caocon
rinw*bjjs#Wri little time that Ik now
• ; whuty amtalkingabnnt. People around here
day if was a miracle, and I believe it wa."
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They arc for sale bv all druggist*
or may be hod by mail from Dr. Williams*
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y for
50;. per box, or six boxes for $2.50.
A rather amusing suit was dis
posed of at the last *term of our
court. John Thomas, col., loaned
Bill Johnson, col., a two dollar
bedstead several years ago, aad
when John called for the property,
Bill refused to give it up. An ac
tion of trover waa brought by John
and at the trial Bill had the levy
dismissed. From this decision
John appealed and finally won the
case. John is now in possession of
his two dollar bedstead, whils his
lawyer is in possession of a gilt
edge note for several times that
amount, while the bailiff is in
possession of Bill’s cow to secure
the court costs. So it goes.

CORN.
Corn is small for the season through
out the state, but the stands aud condi

May has given it a yellow color, but It
only needs some waxm sunshine to give
it the proper color aud start it to grow

The acreage is nearly tho same as

TOBAOOO.
The acreage is not quite as large as
last year. The condition, compared to

transplanted.
BOSS AND CATTLE.
There is some reports of diseases
among the stock throughout the state,
especially oholera among the hogs, but
as yet it is not general or very fatal.
FRUIT.
The prospect throughout the state is
still very good for a fine fruit crop,
with the exception of pears. The blight
has attacked nearly all the pear or
chards in th, lower part of the state,
and tel some extent in middle Georgia.
The effects have been very serious, and
unless the disease can be checked the
pear* industry is doomed to destruction.
Some blight on the apple trees also in
the same section, bnt net so serious as
with the pears. Some "yellows” on
the peach .trees in all section of the
state, but dpt many trees affected as
yet.
Question 4.—1 have been using in
my compost about 260 pounds of pea
meal. Does it supply any ammonia?
Conld tt be supplied by acid, seed or
common salt? If mixed with green seed,
acid or kainit, would it prevent the
seed from coming np?
’Answkb 4.—Pea meal supplies all
three of the essential elements of plant
food, potash, phosphoric acid and ni
trogen or ammonia; but its nse as a
fertilizer is too expensive. Yon can
supply these elements in much cheaper
form. Acid phosphate does not supply
ammonia, but phosphoric acid. Com
mon salt would only have a mechanical
effect and add nothing in plant food.
By the use of kainit, you supply a suf
ficient quantity of potash. The cotton
seed is your source of ammonia and an
additional quantity would increase that
element. ,If from lack of vigor in the
plants under which yon have nsed your
compdbt, it is apparent that a very large
amount' of ammonia is demanded, in
order not to reduce the other material
too much you might add dried blood or
cottonseed meal, as they supply am
monia in a more concentrated form than
the cottonseed- A compost made of cot
tonseed, stable manure, acid phosphate
and kainit, properly cut down aud fork
ed over, would prevent any danger of
germination. In composting carp should
bq taken that the ammonia by heating
is not allowed to escape. A series of
experiments conducted at the state sta
tion shows that mixing in the fnrrow
gives as good results as composting
Without the exDeuse of handling and
danger of loss. '
If I had the pea meal, I world most
certainly nse it for manure, as 1 it con
tains all the principal elements of plant
food, but I would not use it in the
crude form. I would feed it to my
horses, oows, pigs, eto.; let them work
it up into the right condition to apply
to my land.
IN MEMORY OP MRS. EM
MILLE E. FOWLER.
Mre, Fowler wai born March
28|;h 1896,in Franklin county, and
lived a pious life, filling her Home
and surroundings With..happiness.
aijßieMmfiin * he TTi"T i ‘ d
this,weary old world to one of
happiness and joy; The next year
Mrs. Fowler joined the Baptist
church at Franklin Springs, and
was baptized by Rev. A Chandler,
and was one of the original mem
bers of Hanuar’s oreek churoh.
She lived a faithful life for her
country, her home, and her God.
Yes, that I can truly say, beoause
she never missed' r a single meeting,
night or day, rain or shine, during
the ten years she belonged at Han
nar’s creek, ’tilH er sicknesp from
whieh she died. This is truly an
example for all Christian members.
Let us profit by such examples.
We may fill our pews, if we oannot
preach or sing.
Mrs. Fowler was married to J Y
Fowler in ’77. wio was a deacon of
church. She took a great delight
in preparing for the Lord’s sup
per. I heard her remark the last
time she partook of the Lords
supper, that it would he the last
time until she took it with the
Father and the redeemed.

Mrs. Fowler died Deo. 4th 1894,
leaving Mr. Fowler and children,
together with a host of friends to
mourn her departure, I, as her
present pastor, never missed any
one person sc ’much from my
congregation Her ssat is vacated
here but will be filled in Heaven,
She patiently bore her two years
suffering with consumption, but
the Lord removed her from this
world of pain, and lead her, thu’
the misty vale of tear* which sep
arate ti’Rn.from eternity; lead her
over t.h* n ver of death into the
N*w Jerusalem, and as it were,
ferried her across the river Stix to
land of plenty, with God to spend
eternity.
Children and grandchildren, she
has ’eft you an example, and time
