If business methods are not pursued upon 'the farm unnecessary loss to bound to oocur and possible re- irllsaTtona of profits are allowed to slip by undeveloped. The extensive dealer with ample metlnn has a two-edged sword io hew out proflto for himself In the concesMona allowed to large pur chasers and *he cash dtscounlo besides. Tnese advsmiagea Vn some coses permit him to sell at the actual cost of the goods to hi* poorer neighbors and yet realise a profit. To the farmer of mod erate moans the present price* of cot ton. corn, wheat, oafs and other staple products mnm> ruin if 'lie depends on one crop nlone. A producer of a single raw material Is usunlly able to com mand only enough <o keep body and soul together. Tho small farmer, like the email merohunt. must have larger returns on Ms,capital or he cannot live. The small merchant avails himself of, every pmedble means of auriring tin honest penny. The pharmacist. It ts said, sells 3.000 different articles, some ut absolutely a loss and others M whal seems almost profit If one is so uttbuel- ness-Uke as to fan to calculate the un usual expenses Incurred In euch it buntneW. The policy of the merchant Is do increase the sale of profitable ar ticles nnd only sell those unproillnble goods Which are essential to hold his trade. The amount of Mto tatter ore unfortunately large, both for the mer chant and the farmer, but tbe farmer should Imitate the -merchant and en deavor to handle as many of the profit able articles a* possible. I wish to make u few suggestions of articles as proba ble sources of profit to those of our farmers who are bold enough -to strike out hvto new fields of venture. The Vn'teti -traoks are surer roads, but shorter cuts to wehhh over rougher trake are often sought. Our sunny land Is a land of flowers which well may vie with La Belle France. Hut o'! I hough tho consumption of perfumes Is enormous In rite United States, we do not rsea'd a single es sential oil produced ki Georgia except oN of turpentine, the Cheapest of them till. The flower farms ot France unit Turkey supply us with the ol-ts of lose, lavender, geranium, heliotrope, Jas- m hie, lube roes, verhenu, violet, etc., and tihe prices secured per core for these crops are enormous. Tho magnolia mid I'jte ay flourishes here In a wild shite, yet the pure oh of magnolia la so rare It ts not found In the markets of the work!. M to not only the hottest ett- mate which produces the finest essen tial oils. The furmors ot ftUclilKtin. cthto end New York ralso large qunn'tl- tlee of peppermint and distill the oil from ft. In Mtu-yXvnd nnd Virginia uses figs root fit d.eltlUvl largely for Hs essential oil. Oil of wlntcrgreen Is iMs- tilled la New Jersey anti oil of spear mint ts distilled extensively tn several states. Tbe non-vohitfle oils, linseed nnd castor oil. are pressed tn large quantities from sect raised In the Western states. It would apptor from those facts that there are possibilities »f profit from several oils lit Georgia. Just which will prove best adapted to our climate and tbe most practicable only actual trial will Show. Our cll- nt %:e Is warmer nml more equable than that of the eastern or western pontons ot tho United mate*, and can produce many oils requiring a more ns*1 mate climate. Ot two phlce* pro ductive » certain oiFbc.tring plant, the warmer of Che two usually furnishes the largest yteld per acre. PROFIT IN CATTLE RAISING. In the lower poitlnns ot the state end upon the sea Islands cattle thrive In a wonderful Way Upon one of these H indu an acquaintance raised a splen did henl of cattle all sleek and fat, and sold ttuer at an excellent profit. He neither house.! nor fed them through ths -winter, but they managed to keep tn good order on the -.Vinter growth. The cattle mature quicker In such a cll- tn.ite than they do further North. Tbe lieof was as fine tta that from any Western stock. Our wire-grass cattle nre ctit'-n thht ami tough, but even In the wtregrsss rettlons there are poisi- bllhlcs with Judicious feellna and cheap cotton revl tneal and huHe and our re nutritious grasses. WRh our mild nate cattle should find ehL-t their Ideal country. Wo have some cattle tn Georgia, hut the butter and ctexm brougHt to us trom ocher states Is hard compllmettt to our thrift amt ener- We should supply the North and Wert with butter at least tn the win ter. Instead of thetr supptylrtj us. Ne» Yohk stale regularly ships Into Georgia It to seat by express packed tn Lt r re riot refrigerators. We produce so It* tie cream we are UbHceJ to charge to high a price for It and let Nmfhsrt creameries pay for expreesage and let rnd yet etcure the trade. SHEEP IN SPITE OF DOGS. An acquaintance In souhBrest Georg! Ms us (has his sheep are hi* mos profitable investment tn spite of Ih ' dogs, for which he put* out polsbn and gets front fifteen (o twenty nl a time. He lets bis sheep run uncared for, and only rounds them up to brand nnd shear, If the Intel ness exists In such a way, certainly the employment of a shepherd woukl make It still more prof itable tf conducted bn a large enough ucate. Sugar Is now matle nuccettsfully from sorghum cane. Sorghum grow* splendidly In Georgia. The sugar beet has not been fully tried and the proper varieties selected for this climate. It Xkbuld thrive here, as It prospers well In France. THE DESPISED DOG FENNEL. Insoot powder la -made from o plant which belongs to the same family as our do* fennel, and would very prob ably do well with tta. We could hard)}' expert dog (fennel to tfo batter than 11 dote in Georgia. Insect powder now brings 23 cents a (pound, which woutd be a nice price If we ohould find It ns thrifty In Georoln tie .the flog fennel. In this day of fortunes made In chew ing gum. the world should be given a taste of our tnveet gum. No one hoa ever collected It for the market.. We have ttrlel to gpdt (parties to collect it for ourselves, but they said that every body liked It so well that when they boxed the trees It was coOscted by oth ers too rapidly for them to keep up with the crop. Glnseng^grows wild In Georgia and brings $2.50 n pound. It was once wotth its weight In gold In China. It Is culti vated there. If It con be cultivated In China it would seem possible to do so In our state, where H grows wild. BEAR GRASS FIBRE. We (have a splendid fibre In our com mon -bear grass. AVe know of no one attempting do cultivate It.- The sisal p>jart of Florida is now being oulti- vtaited after long neglect. The Cubans come to the Florida- coast in their schooners and purchase all the sisal plants they can eecuro and carry them to Cuba, where they are transplanted and thetr fibre sold as binding twine to our farmers of the west. Florida has awakened to the Importance of this matter and 1s now cultivating the stood plant extensively. In Michigan are large berry farina where -berries are cultivated and dried before putting on the -market. The Kal amazoo celery of that slat, to known far and -wide and supplies nearly (he whole consumption of the ,Union with this crisp crop. Berry far/ns are Cfr- tottnly among the possibilities hero'. The Mackberry crop usually spreads Its boTunUful feast before uo tn almost inexhaustible hbunKVanoe. Dried black berries -would find a ready market. We oannoi get enough people here to con sume ‘them uM for yeare to come, but we cart dry the crop and send 4,. out to the con-otlmern. THE GEORGIA CELERY. Delicious celery can bo raised In Georgia. R 1s now cultivated w/thln a few mNee of Atlanta and tho product of the place brings even a better price than that from Kuliunasoo. Asparagus brings un excellent price tn the large did**. An acquaintance ot ours start ed tin asparagus bed of five -acres three years ago tn. this Shite. He baa put an nually upon each acre twenty-live tons of triable manure ami a half a ton of cotton seed, into amounting io seventy- five tone ot manure and one and a half ton* ot cotton seed put upon each acre. There axis half a ton ot common salt put upon each acre, as asparagus to a marine plant. The fertilizers put upon each acre cost $260 before any return «\w secured. This season 3,000 pounds of asparagus was sold from (he five acres fur $3,000; a return of $600 per acre. In spite of the drouth which cut off -Iris strawberry crop one-half, next season he expects lo secure $2,000 worth horn cubit acre, or ti total of $10,000. •We have made these suggestions In thehopothut they will set some bright minds to work, who will rift the profit able from the unprofitable, and develop many of the taken! possibilities of our wonderful stake. With a large expanse of territory extending from the bald peaks of (lie Ollue Ridge to the warm waters of the Atlantic, where Florida aivt Georgia Join dramls, we are rich In posxtbllriies -and must awake from our eonserxxtultm and advance with the times. sits OPA'; Th« lAnroHt nml tv**t Win ter Whtftt Flour Mill riant la tho World. ••• UNDINE. tSruthed ffliddllrigs Flour* The only Flour ofll* kind, and tho boat at tinykln.I.
