By almost unanimous consent of farmers, it may be put down as a fixed fact in farming that to make farming profitable in the cotton belt of Georgia the soil must be aided by the use of fer tilizers—either commercial or home made fertilizers, or both. And I may add that what is true of the cotton belt of Georgia is true of every other highly profitable agricultural country. It is a remarkable fact that in every part of the globe the most wonderful achievements in farming, and the most astonishing results in profitably tilling the soil, have been made on land, not rich in itself, but which was obliged to be made rich by artificial means. Na ture divides out its favors, bestowing some at one place and some at another. We have our share, and among them we have a climate adapted to the pro duction of the best money crop in the world. But our soil must be helped. This is a necessity, and without it farm ing is not a success—with it farming, under proper management, is a success. As farming is conducted now in Geor gia this result is brought about chiefly by commercial fertilizers. They are the main dependence of the farmer for- raising cotton successfully. Immense amounts of them are used. But the success of farming by their use depends upon their quality. That quality must be of a high order. Inferiority defeats the object of their use. A farmer can not afford to use guano without the assurance, amounting to certainty, that when he buys he is getting guano that will pay on his crop. If the guano used is worthless this system of improved farming, by the use of fertilizers, of course, is a failure. Besides making no more than if he had not used it, he loses the hauling of it and labor of put ting it into the ground, and then he is reduced to the necessity of having to pay for it or have a law suit. The law suit and the worry about it, and the loss of time, would in all probability amount to more, particularly if he is a small farmer, than to pay for the guano at the outset. And yet this would not be near all the loss. Let us look into this. The inspection of fertilizers costs 50 cents per ton. A great deal has been said about the immense expense the in spection of fertilizers is to the farmers. This is what it is—fifty cents a ton. That much then is added to its cost; and if the farmer pays all of it, his gu ano will come to him that much higher, lie would pay then 50 cents more on account of the inspection laws. Now, let us see wliat it would cost him if there was no inspection of guano laws —no analysis—no protection against fraud, except not to pay for the guano if it did not benefit his crop. 1. Guano suits would swarm through all the courts—Justice Courts, County Courts, and in the Superior Courts. The farmers would pay the fees, and when their defense was good and the guano wort hless, the amount of the fees would be a total loss to them. All classes would suffer by it except one. The manufacturers and those who use it, and all classes whose business depends, more or less, on farmers for its success, as merchants and mechanics, would suffer by it. But the lawyers would reap a rich harvest in fees, and the farmers would pay it. :i. As a class, farmers will compare favorably with any other class as to honesty. But all farmers are not hon est, and in so large a class of people, many will be found ready to take ad vantage of anything and everything in their favor. And if there should be a failure or a partial failure of the crop, either from excessive rains-or from drouth, or from improper -working or want of work, they would be ready to lay the fault to the guano, no matter how good the guano might be. And even if the crop did not fail, some would buy the guano with the ex pectation and intention of never naving for it. And such men always which, of course, would be a loss to him if the guano did not benefit the crop. For hauling and putting in the ground one ton, about $6 00. Fee to lawyer to defend a suit, about $10 00. Then, de duct from these amounts for picking 3£ bales $20 (not being made, it would not have to be picked,) and also $27 00, about what he would have paid for good guano that would have made the 34 bales more. Then we have this " J statement— ■?,y 2 bales loss. Sc. per pound $140 (X) Hauling and distributing 1 ton 6 00 Fee to lawyer to defend case .. 10 10 $l&6 0o Deduct, for picking 3‘4 bales, that would be saved $20 00 Deduct wliat he would have paid for good guano 27 00—47 00 Net loss.: $109 00 Then deduct from this sum 50 cents (what he would have to pay for inspec tion so as to get good guano,) and we have $10$ 50 as the net loss, in money, that may come, and often would come upon the farmer by doing away with the inspection of fertilizers, and en abling him to buy guano with the priv ilege of not paying for it if it did not benefit his crop. To this sum may al so be added, for the worry of the suit and for loss of time in delays and post ponements, and perhaps certioraris, about the sum of $10 or $15. How insignificant does this 50 cents appear, which has been talked of and complained about so much, compared with the amount of loss above estima ted. Some truths may be deducted from this. A farmer cannot afford to use guano that it does not pay well to use, for if it does not benefit his crop it is ruinous upon him, even if he does not have it to pay for. And he cannot af ford to be uncertain about it. When he buys it he must know that it is good and that it will do what he expects it to do. He cannot afford to wait until his crop is ga thered to know this, for then, if his guano has failed and his crop has in consequence turned out to be un profitable, ruin is at his heels. Farming has become an expensive and hazardous business. If there is any mishap about it anywhere or in anyway the result is disastrous. Guano must be made ab solutely safe for the farmer to use—ab solutely certain to yield a good return. How can this be done except by the rigid rules of inspection? I have shown in a former article how this is practical ly accomplished under the laws and regulations as carried out under the direction of the Agricultural Depart ment, What folly it would be to turn everything loose, to drift into uncer tainty and into lawsuits and into ruin. If this is not an absolute certainty un der the present plan, let some other be adopted, or let improvements be made and perfected in inspecting and analyz ing guano until, when it is used, it will be absolutely certain that there will be an abundant yield resulting from its use in the granaries and in the cotton- houses of farmers. Now, what does “Hippies” propose ? Nobody has a right to condemn a thing unless he proposes something in its place that is better. Let us hear from him as to his plan of making farmers safe in the use of guano. I propose to write another article on the general benefits resulting to farm ers from the Agricultural Department. A Farmer. WHAT IT IS TO BE FORTY. To discover a sprinkle of gray in yonr beard, A thinness of crop where the upland is cleared, To note how you take to your slippers and gown, And hug to the fire when you get home from town— Ah, that’s what it is to be forty. To find that your shadow has portlier grown, That your voice has a practical, business-like tone; That your vision is tricky, which once was so bright, And a hint of a wrinkle is coming to light— Ah, that’s what it is to be forty. A sleigh-ride, a party, a dance or a dine; Why, of course, you’ll be present; you never decline. But, alas! there’s no invite; you’re not “young folks,” you see; You’re no longer a peach, but a crabapple tree— . Ah, that’s what it is to be forty. A daughter that grows like a lily, a queen— And that blooms like a rose in a garden of green, A dapper young clerk in an ice cream saloon, (Both a dude and a dunce,) is to carry off soon; And a boy that is ten and the pride of your eye, Is caught smoking vile cigarettes on the sly— 'Ah, that’s what it is to be forty. At twenty a man dreams of fortune and fame; At thirty his fire has a soberer flame; At foriy his dreams and his visions are o’er, And he knows and he feels as he ne’er did be fore, That a man is a fool till he’s forty. “Another big washout on our line!” exclaimed the railroad employe’s in dustrious helpmeet, pointing to the string of whitened clothes which stretched from their back window to a house across the way.

Talking Talking Pastors Up and Them Down. Boston Journal. The Religious Herald, of Hartford, makes a suggestion about a certain kind of pastoral support which it holds to be- more important than an abundance of bank notes. The suggestion might be profitable at any time, but some parishes in the vicinity of Boston may find it specially timely just now. The illus tration which the Herald takes as the basis of the suggestion is the case of Dr. James Shaw, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church, of Rochester, New York. After he had been settled several years, there began to % be expres sions of dissatisfaction with his quali ties as a preacher, and many of the members were discussing the question Better than Bloody Battles. General Wheateroft Nelson, says: My experience in the English army as well as in America, convinces me that nothing so thoroughly purifies the blood or adds to health, vigor and life as Acker’s English Blood Elixir.” This great remedy is sold under a pos itive guarantee by W.

At this juncture two prominent business men, who attended the church, talked over crop, even if the guano was as good as gold. In this way the manufacturers of guano would lose large amounts, and to make up for this they would put a greater price upon their guano, and would make the honest purchaser pay the situation, and concluded to advise the church to change its course at once.

The price must be raised so as to cover losses. This is the rule in all trade. The greater the risk, was given acted on. A marked change was soon apparent. The congregation rapidly increased, and the church, rapidly the greater the price. So that the loss : pr08pere( j. Dr. Shaw has been the pas tor forty-seven years, and is still active is made to fall on those who actually pay. They pay for themselves and for those who fail to pay. In this way the farmer, instead of paying only 50 cents more for guano per ton, would in all probability 7 find himself paying ten or twelve dollars more per ton, and per haps might pay even more than that. 3. Spurious guanos would soon be put upon the market—guanos which would really not benefit the crop. Of course, the remedy of the farmer would be not to pay for them. Let us see, even theu, what he would lose: One ton of guano up to the proper standard used on a crop ought to make, on an average, 3 or 4 bales of cotton more than would be made without it—and it may’ be more. A good practical farmer in Meriwether county’ agreed with me that it would make about 4 bales more. But say 34 bales. This would be worth $140 00, and influential, and the church has a membership of fifteen hundred. The story carries its own moral with it. If more churches would adopt the practice of talking their pastors up, in stead of talking them down, there would be fewer instances of pastoral relations hastily and unwisely sever ed. what makes COEORED TEACHERS: C.

I cheerfully state the following facts in re gard to the use of your medicine in my family. My little son, 14 years of age, suffered frtun an acute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard your remedy highly recommended, and pur chased a bottle from Moncrief & Bro., Pres cott, Ark. In about one month, after using this bottle he became so much better that I got the second bottle, which is now being us ed, and my son is nearly well, and I think by removing him to a cooler Summer climate (which I will do) and continuing its use, a perfect cure will be effected.

THE WORLD CHALLENGED. To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Bemecly, B. B. B., we^make bold to special i claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of any other remedy. 4. It takes. less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are willin'’ for B. B. B. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency *s a blood remedy, we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it. They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of yaur hbor who has tried our great remedy.

I have been troubled with rheumatism for two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At night could not sleep for the excruciating pain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dii- ferent patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints, I was al most discouraged until about two weeks ago, when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J. Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having much faith in it, or in anything else; but, thank God, I am very muen relieved, aud I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and I am in no pain whatever. Am at work agaia, and have been for several days. Can run up and down the stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever.
