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.

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.

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. ® W Adams was in Hartwell and Elbertoo this week. linoe Wilber has bought aad learned to ride a bi tyole, be oaa go around the world in a few dajs.

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.

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.
