ins MONTHLY TALK WITH THE
GEORGIA FARMERS
On Subjects of General Interest Per
taining to the Farm and
Garden—Good Advice.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., March 1, 1393.
The 1st of March finds the farmers in
a most backward state of preparation.
The weather has been such, first freez
ing and then raining, that it has been
impossible to plow the red lands, and
even on the gray lands very little has
been accomplished. There are draw
backs and-hindrances to ever}' occupa
tion, and these are but the disappoint
ments incident to our avocation; but
when difficulties confront us
WE SHOULD SUMMON OUR BEST ENERGIES
to meet and combat them. Trials and
difficulties develop andsnake the strong
man; they paralize and destroy the
weak. We still have much to be thank
ful for: the unerring return of the sea
sons; the blessing of the early and lat
ter rain; the perennial hope which
springs in the farmer’s breast as he goes
out to begin his year’s work and sees all
nature donning her fresh spring’robe;the
pleasure of witnessing the soil respond
to our efforts, and the gradual develop
ment of the different crops from seed
time to harvest. Surely the farmer in
his work comes nearest to God, and
takes its results more directly from the
hand of the great ruler of the universe.
How important, then, that he study to
make no mistake in executing his part
of the contract 1
I hope my farmer friends have util
ized these muggy days in
repairin'©,
as far as possible, the farm buildings
and fences, and in making compost, the
latter a most important factor in the
farm economy. Every moment, when
the land is too wet to plow, can he util
ized to the best aifftmtage in giving
your farms a more home-like and com
fortable appearance, and even when the
rain keeps the farmer indoors, there are
many jobs in the way of mending and
preparing implements, wagons, plow-
stocks, harness, etc., for the coming
strain, which should not be neglects
and always there are the stables and
yards to be cleaned out and attended to,
leaves to be hauled and cattle and stock
comfortably bedded. On a stranger the
impression of a well-kept farm is be
yond estimating. Even
ONE THOROUGHLY-CULTIVATED, WELL-
KEPT FARM
in a neighborhood is an object lesson to
he seen and appreciated, not only by
farmers, but by every passing traveler.
At first it may not seem to exert any
sensible influence, but gradually adjoin
ing places begin to touch up; the lands
are better prepared; more manure and
of better quality is made; more pro
gressive methods are undertaken; a
spirit of-emulation is roused; evidences
of thrift are seen on every side, and ere
long the improved condition of the
neighborhood is the subject of favorable
comment throughout the county.
OURS IB A POSITION OF HONOR AND RE
SPONSIBILITY,
and if we expect to fill it with credit to
ourselves and families, we must fit our
selves for it as do successful men-in
other avocations, by careful study and
by well-directed energy and diligence.
Every moment, every hour is worth so
much to us; they are not to be wasted
if we expect success to crown our ef
forts. The slothful, indolent man, no
matter in what occupation he may be
engaged, has no reasonable hope for
even moderate prosperity. Let us ob
serve the methodical, systematic energy
of the successful merchant; the “snap”
and vim which characterize the sue
cessful lawyer or banker. No idling in
the hours devoted to business, no put

demands attention today.

no arbitrary rule
laid down by- which each individual
farmer is to be governed, but irt these
“monthly talks” I wish to make sugges
tions which will not only arrest the at
tention of farmers, hut which will pro
voke discussion on the lines I advocate.
On one point
WE ARE ALT. AGREED,
and that is that we will have to build
np our lands or stop cultivating them,
and that we must make our farms self-
supporting. But when we begin to dis
cuss the plans for accomplishing these
much-to-be-desired ends, we differ, be
cause onr circumstances and conditions,
individual, climatic and otherwise, are
such as to preclude the possibility of all
working by the same rule. For in
stance, one farmer has a large family,
many of the members are old enough to
help him in his work, and he owns a
piece of good bottom land. Such a man
can make his home supplies on a few
acres, and then devote the rest of his
farm to the production of cotton, or
some other money crop, which can he
worked successfully and cheaply by his
immediate family. Another man owns
a farm, the larger part of which is so
poor that until the land is improved
-there is no hope for him to succeed.
Common sense teaches him to try and
build np a few acres each year, and cul
tivate only such spots as will yield some
return for the time and labor bestowed
upon them. Again, take the weather
which has prevailed during January and
February. In north and middle Geor
gia,-the landB.for the most part being
stiff and adhesive, the continued rains
have prevented any progress in plowing.
In southern and more especially eastern
Georgia, rain has been needed for the i
small grain crops, anct plowing is well j
advanced, and preparations for planting |
move on apace.
It is most .gratifying to find from all j
the information obtainable at tins 1
department, fromreports of correspond- |
ents, and.from other sources,, that in j
nearly every county, and in particul: • ;
sections of some counties, there has beeu
a marked- improvement, in the pro
duction of home supplies; that
there is now on hand a larger per cent,
than is usual at this season, and that
O.-.
9§is
there is evident determination on the
part of farmers to pursue such a sensi
ble farm policy as will not only bridge
over onr present unfortunate condition,
but give us an assurance of future suc
cess* The blind worship of cotton is, I
trust, becoming a thing of the past for
the self-inflicted punishment, which the
fanners have had to suffer, has taught
them a salutary lesson. Wherqyer the
farmers are studying their surround
ing and conditions with an eye to ulti
mate results; where they are giving
more thoughtful consideration to the
reasons which should control then! in
the direction of their affairs, good
results are beginning to he seen,. They
realize their past mistakes arid' are
applying themselves to the task of cor
recting them.
TO THOSE FARMERS,
who are still considering the advisabil
ity of an all-cotton policy, I would
utter- a word of warning. It is the far
mer who has not thought to provide for
his corn crib or smokehouse until the
past two inonths, who is suffering most
today. Meat at 12} cents, with the lard
pressed out, is not a very pleasant sub
ject for the all-cotton fanner to con
sider, except as it may release him from
the thraldom of mistaken methods and
policies. And the man who expects to
buy his lard, and sells his cotton seed to
the oil mills under the mistaken idea
that he is making a good trade, pays
two or three times its value, when it
comes back to him in the lard at 15
cents a pound. The selling of the cot
ton seed to the merchant is all right,
for in each ton of raw cotton seed
applied to land there is-$20 worth of
oil which is absolutely wasted as the
oil possesses no manurial value, and cot
ton seed meal is the better fertilizer,
but the farmer, who buys his lard and
meat is playing a losing game.
IF I CAN INDUCE MY FELLOW FARMERS
to read and discuss these ideas, even if
they fail to agree with me, I will feel
that one important step has been gained,
i. e., that these discussions will bring to
the front new ideas, and stronger rea
sons for the abandonment of our ruin
ously false system, and the substitution
of better - and more remunerative
methods. Of course my opinions are
not invulnerable. Already I have had
fanners dissent from them, and .my sug
gestions do not always receive the cor
dial support of my thinking friends, but
I do not object to fair criticism, and the
good results of such discussions will be
seen later on. If every neighborhood
throughout the state would reorganize
their alliance clubs, with the distinct
understanding that their object is to
foster and build up an interest on every
thing pertaining to agriculture and to
permanently advance every interest
connected with the farm, and permit
only such questions to be discussed in
their meetings, much Sight could he
thrown on these questions fraught with
such deep interest to every struggling
farmer, and there would soon be a revi
val of that love for our country homes,
once so general among onr people. The
friction produced by the ideas brought
outin these meetings, whenintelligently
discussed, would have a most salutary
effect on our entire farm econemy.
The fruit men, the truck men, have
gained valuable aid and information
from an exchange of ideas. If they can
perfect an organization to protect and
advertise and advance their interest,
why cannot the general farmer?
I hope the farmers will study the
results of the experiments made at the
•experimental station in crops and fer
tilizers for the past season,
i wish also to call their attention
to the paper read before the agricultu
ral convention during its recent meeting
in Augusta, which is published in this
report. From this caii “be learned' the
nature of some of the duties devolving
on me, as Commissioner of Agriculture.
Acquaint yourselves [with duties,-
and find out if they ar * _ faithfully
executed, and if your interest is being
protected and advanced. . The latter
part of this paper is devoted to the advis
ability of teaching agriculture in onr
public schools. Read it carefully, and I
think yon will agree with me that there
are very strong reasons why it should be
taught.
I cannot close this article without
making
AN APPEAL
for broad acres of oats, corn millet, po
tatoes, cane, and only so much cotton as
you can produce at a profit. Ordinarily
land which produces only a hale to
three acres is worked at a dead loss.
Think seriously before von embark in
such a ruinous undertaking.
Elsewhere in this report I publish a
letter from a prominent farmer, which
puts this question in such a strong light
that nothing more need be said. .

Cultural Notes on Potatoes.
Here is a summary of the results of
experiments extending over a period of
three years at the Michigan station:
First—It was found that the seed end
is as good if not better, than any other
part of the’potato for planting, and, as a
role, produces fewer small tubers.
Second—As a rule, medium sized po
tatoes cut into halves lengthwise, using
at the rate of 13 to 15 bushels of seed to
the acre, will produce best net results
planted 1-J.or 2 feet apart.
Third—If smaller seed is used, the eyes
should he 15 inches apart, and pieces
containing two or three eyes about 18
inches. At distances over 21 feet the
number of hills is so much decreased that
the yield, is lessened.
Fourth—When potatoes are cheap, it
does not pay to use small potatoes as
seed, hut when seed potatoes are high
tubers the size of hen’s eggs'may be nsed
for one year without greatly decreasing
the yield. ,
Fifth—Even on fairly rich soil manure
or fertilizers can he used with profit.
When manure cannot he obtained with
out hauling two or three miles, iOO
pounds of mixed chemicals or of some
good brand of commercial fertilizer will,
ce cheaper to use and will be a profitable
investment.
Other items are, that as the best depth
for planting the result seemed to- favor
covering the seed about three inches.
This seemed to be right for dry seasons.
The highest yield was obtained wlf&n
manure was used as a mulch between
the rows. While it can readily he shown
that the fertilizers were used with prof
it, it is difficult to say which of the chem
icals was most necessary. It is to be ob
served that the land on which the exper
iments were made is represented as in
excellent tilth and of more than, average
fertility. :
Savannah Morning News.
■ The most partisan of the repub
lican papers is the New York
Press. In its opinion whatever
the Republican party does is right.
I In a' review of the admiriistaation
of ex-President Harrison, in its
Sunday issue, it said; “Harrison
has turned over jto Cleveland a
national credit unexcelled, if equal
ed, by that of any nation on the
globe, a credit so good that to-mor-
row, if it be found necessary to is
sue bonds to repleudish the gold
reserve, they can be sold at or'
above par, though bearing interest
at only 3 per cent per annum. Our
credit is what it is because, among
other reasons, a long succession
of republican administrations has
stood like' a wall of adamant
against oft-repeated democratic at
tempts at greenback inflation.”
The foregoing statement may,be
exceedingly gratifying to republi
cans who are such extreme parti
sans that they will not admit the
truth relative to the financial con
dition of the treasury, but all fair-
minded meu know that it is very
misleading. When Mr. Clevelond
went out of office in 1889 he left a
surplus in the treasury of more
than 860,000,000. and revenuss
that were considerable iu execss of
the government’s expenditures,
What does he find on his return to
the presidency? A depleted treas
ury and expenditures greater than
the revenues. Does the Press
mean to say that under these cir
cumstances the credit of the gov
ernment that Mr. Harrison turned
over to Mr. Cleveland is as good
as the credit of the government
that Mr. Cleveland turned over to
Mr. Harrison? That is the im
pression it wishes to convey, and
it is au erroneous one.
It may be true that the govern
ment can float at 3 per cent, bonds
at a premium, though it is not ab
solutely certain it can, But it is not
true that the credit of the govern
ment is as good as it was when Mr.
Cleveland turned the government
over to Mr. Harrison. At that
time 'American securities held in
Europe were not being sent home
in large amounts because of doubt
that the government would be able
to pay its sbligations in gold. On
the contrary, Europe was a large
purchaser of American securities.
But for months before Mr. Harri
son wenl\out of office the monetary
affairs of the government were
viewed with anxiety in Europe,
and American securities came
home by the millions, causing an
almost unprecedented outflow of
gold.
If the Press wants to praise Mr.
Harrison’s administration again it
will not call attention to its finan
cial features if it is wise.
The Southern Suffrage Problem.
THE PENSION REFORM.
Atlanta Constitution.
The Philadelphia Times boldly
advocates the disfranchisement of
the negro. Speaking of the new
election laws in Mississippi and
Alabama under which thousands*
of blacks will be disqualified from
voting, The Times says:
“And.it goes without saying that
this restriction of suffrage will be
speedily adopted in all the states
where the colored vote predomi
nates or i© a very large element of
the voting population. This is
simply the coming of what must
have been accepted by all intelli
gent observers for many years past
as inevitable. Tt could only be a
question of time when the suffrage
problem must thus be solvod in
the southern states if property was
to have protection and foreign cap
ital encouragement. It is not a
democratic measure, for the reason
that republicans and democrats
alike, who are interested in busi
ness in those states, are equally
unwilling to trust their property
to negro domination in politics.”
A similar article appeared in a
late number of The Forum, and it
is safe to say that the conservative
sentiment of the north is gradually
arraying itself on the side of re
stricted suffrage, under the Aus
tralian ballot plan.
Fortunately, in Georgia the
black vote does not predominate,
and, although it represents a large
element of our population, the two
races are on such good terms that
we have little cause to desire re
stricted suffrage. It may some
day be deemed advisable'to require
certain qualifications for voting
that will virtually disfranchise the
ignorant and stupid, bnt no color
line will be drawn, and no election
law will be framed for the purpose
of depriving the blacks of their
votes. Such a law .would not long
carry out its purpose. The ne
groes of Georgia are rapidly be
ing educated. They are acquiring
propesty and in the main they are
industrious, law-abiding citizens.
The whites have no desire to
abridge any of the rights enjoyed
by this class.

A Real English Wedding Cake.
It appears that there is, after
all, a basis for the belief of some
people that a reward is offered for
the collection of 1,000,000 cancel
led postage stamps. A New York
stamp dealer promises to-pay 8100
for that number of stamps. They
must be put up in bnndles of 100
or 1,000, “neatly squared and sent
express paid.” By hard work, de
voting no time to anything elsp, an
active person might succeed iu
collecting 1,000, ObO cancelled
stamps in twenty-five or thirty
years. For auybody simple enough
to undertake such a job, 8100 for
twenty five year’s work is good
pay.
Last year’s sale of eggs alone,
according to statistics, reached the
enormous sum of 8200,000,000 and
live and dressed poultry 8100,000,-
000, or the total for both $300,000
000 for the United States. It
seems hardly possible, comments
the New Yook Iddependent, that
such figures would be correct, yet
the Department, of Agricultural
statistics publish it in their re
ports. Small things appear w< ak,
yet they confound the mighty.
“Your wedding cakes,” says au
English woman visiting Lere,
“seem to me very poor and plain.
Ours are real sweet, you know.
They are made of three separate
cakes of graduated sizes, the first
and largest often being as large
around—well, as the front wheel
of a baby’s perambulator. Each
cake is composed, first of the fruit
cake, which is a solid baked mass
of rich fruits quite six inches deep;
over this is a deep layer of about
three inches of rich almond paste,
and quite on the top is two inches
more of rich icing. The three
cakes are exactly the same except
in size around. They are placed
one on the top of the other in pyr
amid shape. with more icing and
sugar ornaments, cupids, flowers,
and leaves carried in graceful de
signs from top to base.
“At the wedding breakfast the
bride puts the knife into the top
layer, which is then carried to one
side and sawed into pieces by the
servant; for it will be hard. This
is handed about among the guests;
the second tier is left with the
bride’s mother,, and the bottom
cake is sent untouched to the
bride’s home. The fruit cake i3
often, made as much as three
mouths beforehand, which gives
•its richness time to permeate the
loaf thoroughly.. The almond
paste is to me- the most delicious
part of the cake, and this you do
uot .have at all.”—New York
Times.
One of the first tasks devolving
upon the new administration after
paying its proper respects to the
tariff, currency, etc., will be the
investigation of the pension de
partment of the government. There
is quite a general opinion among
the people everywhere that tre
mendous frauds are imposed upon
them in the shape of -pensions.
When it is remembered that a
generation has passfed away since
the close of the war between the
states, it is a matter of some sur
prise that the number of pension
ers upon the government from that
war should be so large, and con
stantly increasing. Not only is it
a surprise, but it is a broad ground
upon which to base the opinion
that vast sums in fraudulent pen
sions are being paid out.
While the pension laws are ex
tremely broad, yet there is good
reason for the belief that the pen
sions actually paid are not con
fined to the limits of the law, but.
that multitudes of fraudulent pen
sioners are on the pension rolls.
It is to be hoped that the demo
cratic administration will have suf
ficient backbone and moral cour
age to make a thorough investiga
tion of this pension field, and, if
frauds be discovered, to purge the
department of all such. Such pro
ceedings will, of course, bring
forth a howl from all pension
frauds, their aiders and abettors, if
any there be, but the honest mass
es of the country will cry, amen!
No true southron will interpose
an objection to granting proper
pensions to deserving federal sol
diers, but every fraudulent pen
sioner on the rolls is a carbuncle
attache of the government, and
should be shaken off.
Hence, wa say let the work of
pension reform begin promptly,
and coutinue until the pension
rolls shall have upon them the
names of none bat the deserving.
NOMINATIONS THAT FAILED.
Thirty-six nomination's were
sent to the senate by President
Hairisou during the last session
that failed of confirmation. Of
this number one was rejected, that
of John V. L. Findlay of Mary
land, to be arbitrator for the
United States on the Chilean
claims commission. His failure of
confirmation was due to the oppo
sition of tiie Maryland senators.
The name of G. M. Lamberison
was substituted by the President,
but no action was taken on it by
the Senate.
The most important nomination
not sanctioned by the Senate,was -
that of Bintou Hancbett of Michi
gan to "lie United States circuit
judge for the Sixth judicial .dis
trict, to succeed Judge Jackson
who was confirmed as associate ‘
justice of tlu United States su
preme erart. For purely political
reasms the democratic senators
used their influence to prevent Mr.
Hanchett’s confirmation, and suc
ceeded. The nearest h? came to
reaching the goal was in'having
his nomination favorably reported
by the ju liciury c remittee, which
held an impromptu .n letiug on the
floor o* the Sruate daring the
same executive session at which-
his nomination was referred. -
Three army n mun itions, all for
desirable positions, failed for lack*
of action. One that provoked
much discussion was that of Lient.
John A. Daprriy to be postmaster,
with the rank of major. Lient.
Dapray acted as military aid to the
Secretary of War, and when his
promotion from that grade to ma
jor was announced it aroused an
antagonistic feeling among the
senior officers in the army, who ob
jected to the promotion of ^ so
young au officer over their heads.
The promotion of Col. El well S.
Otis to be brigadier general in
place of Gen. Carr, who was forced
to retire, also fell through the an
tagonism of Gen. Cirr’s friends,
who objected to hi3 retirement.

news for the crowd of disgusted

was 236, of whom 231, were men

was disproportionate to the in

the Government of the colony has
formulated what the American Ag
riculturist deems a tempting
scheme. The i dea is to give every ap
plicauta block of 160 acres of land,
the only payment required being a
fee of 85; to lend him 8250 towards
putting up a.8500 house, and, af
ter he has spent 8250, or more, in
cultivation or improvements, to
lend him a sura equivaleut-to what
he has spent up to 8500’

35
Years of Misery With
Chronic Diarrhoea.
A .Perfect Cure by HOOD’S.
“About 38 years ago I got overheated
while at work in the harvest field, and was
side abed for three inonths. When I got
an my feet againJ found that I had a had
kidney trouble and chronic diarrhoea,
which has drawn on ne for over 35 years.
Just Think of My Misery.
I dared not eat anything more than would
alive. Fo
barely keep me alive. For years I felt that
my stay on earth would be short I have
times without number been in such distress
ful pain and aching that I could not tom my
self in bed, and I would have to ask my
Hood’s
partita
wife to take hold of my hands and turn
me. In all these years'I emnloyed the best
physicians but nothing gave me permanent
relief. 'I had an iron constitution, or I
could not have stood the drain upon me.
“In the fall-of 1SS7 I Was so weak I could
not work. I concluded I would try Hood’s
Sirsaparilla. To my surprise and great
joyl ! soon found that, it was doiim me good
and when I had used 7 bottles I was per
fectly cured. It is now 4 years and the
Cure wsb Perfect and Permanent.
“For the past four years I have enjoyed
. life and felt better and younger than in any
of tho 33 years preceding. I endured every
thing a human being could and live, and
I will recommend Hood’s Sarsaparilla long
a* I live.” Wm. Osbobn, Gibson City,’ 111.
