If we can ®anly persuade our farmers that mixed > ^farming is a much better method than J the all cotton one, so largely pursued, ,-f -\ye can, in a few years at least, double t the showing as above set forth. The State Agricultural Department. Albany, Ga., News and Advertiser. , At every session of the Georgia Leg islature the scalping knife is raised against the fetate Agricultural Depart ment. It is a strange fact, too, that the relentless opposition that has been ar rayed .against this Department of the State Government for a good many years past has come from the very class it was designed and established to ben efit—the farmers. A bill has been introduced at the present session of the Legislature to abolish the Agricultural Department. Whether it will pass or not remains to be seen, but it is plain to almost every one who has mingled much in the Leg islative circles of the State that if the Department is saved the names of but few of the genuine or Simon-pure far mer members of the General Assembly will be found on the list of its saviors. We have observed that, as a general thing, the lawyer-farmers, doctor-far mers and merchant-farmers, and those who are not engaged in fanning at all, are in favor of maintaining the Agricul tural Department, while, upon the oth er hand, the genuine fanners, or those who are engaged in farming exclusively, say that they derive no practical bene fit from the Department; that it is an expensive institution supporting a lot of chronic office-holders whose ser vices are not appreciated by the far mers, and that it should, therefore, be abolished. Georgia is pre-eminently an agricul tural State, and the large agricultural in terest of the State is entitled to such recognition or representation in the departments of the State Government as the Agricultural Department is in tended to supply; but if the farmers of the State don’t want it, the balance of the people certainly could afford to dis pense with it. It is their department of the State Government, and if they want to kill it the News and Advertiser will not be among those who would stay the knife that is raised against it. “Wliat we want now,” commenced a timid and confused speaker at a meeting of a debating society, “is—is— not—not so much what we don’t want, as that which we most require.” His hearers agreed with him. head in a whirl, and the liquor—given as a medicine—made my stomach so sick I could not tolerate it. From 175 pounds (my proper weight) I ran down to 97 pounds—the weight of a light girl—and was scarcely better than a skeleton. If anybody had taken a hatchet and knocked me down anti killed me I should have been better off. . During the latter part of this period, early in 1886, my physician said: “Miller, there’s no use in mv taking any more money of you; I can t do you any good. I might pour pounds of qui- ninehlown your throat and it wouldn’t help you.” . _ On the strength of this I gave up the use of quinine altogether, and made up my mind to do nothing more and take mv chances. Three weeks afterwards—about the last of May—my wife saw an^ advertise ment of Kaskine in a New York paper. She told me of it. I said: “Stuff and nonsense ! it can’t do me any good. But she went to a druggist’s, neverthe less, to get it. The druggist advised her against Kaskine; he said it was nothing but sugar; that she ought not to throw away her money on it, etc. He said he didn't keep it, but could get it if she insisted oil having it. Turn ing a wav in disgust my wife spoke to our neighbor, Mr. A. G. Hegewald, who got her a bottle at a drug store in Sixth avenue. Almost against my will, and without the least faith, I began taking it. In one week I was better. I began to sleep. I stopped “seeing ghosts.” I began to have an appetite and to gam strength. This was now the first of June, 1886, and by the end of that month I was back at my bench at C. P. Smith’s scroll sawing factory on 116th street, where I work now. Since then I have never lost a day from sickness. Taking Kaskine only, about forty pellets in four equal doses a day, I continued to gain. The mala ria appeared to be killed in my system, and now I’ve got back my old weight- 175 pounds—and my old strength to la bor. I am an astonishment to myself and to my friends, and if Kaskine did not do this I don’t know what did. The only greater thing it could do would be to bring a dead man to life. Fkederick A. Miller, 630 East 157th Street, New York. P. S.—For the absolute truth of the above statement I refer to the follow ing gentlemen, who are personally ac quainted with the facts: Mr. Alexan der Weir, 626 156th St.;Mr. George Sea man, 158th street and Courtlandt ave nue; Mr. A. Moebus, 154th street and Courtlandt avenue; Mr. P. F. Vaupel, 154th street and Courtlandt avenue; Mr. John Lunny, 630 East 158tli street; Mr. John Rensnaw, 124 125th street, and many others. I will also reply to letters of inquiry. We submit that the above astonish ing cure, vouched for as it is by reputa ble men, is deserving of a thorough and candid investigation by thinking peo- S le. And we further submit that when ruggists turn away customers by fal sifying the character of a remedy be cause they do not happen to have it on hand, they do a great wrong. If this afflicted man had not disregarded-the- druggist’s advice and sent elsewhere for the remedy he would without doubt have been in his grave. Other letters of a similar character from prominent individuals, which stamp Kaskine as a remedy of un doubted merit, will be sent on appli cation. Price 81.00, or 6 bottles, $5,000.
