. from the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio,
r One day in the summer of 1895, Charles T.
Vogel was sitting on the front steps of his
home at Ho, 1513 Lorain Street, on the West
aide, Cleveland, Ohio, the picture of rnisery.
He had spent a sleepless night. For six
months Charles Vogel had been n sufferer
from headaches of the most severe and ex-
ornoiating character.
While he was .preoccupied in this dis
heartening meditation, some one with a pouch
strapped to his shoulder placed a pamphlet
in his hand. Mechanically Mr. Vogel began
turning the pages of the booklet Suddenly,
however, his indifference was changed to
interest, and soon he was reading a Tew of
the testimonials of people who had found in
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pill

‘Then I began to see if somebody had
used them for the same trouble from which
I was suffering.” he went on to say “and X
found what I was looking for. The stories
seemed straightforward and full of sincerity
I had never heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills before but I determined to buy a box
of them, and went to the drug store arid
made a purchase. It was the best investment
I over made.
“The first pill did not cure me, nor did the
second ; but I had not been taking them for
a week before I began to feel better. I con
tinued to have the headaches which broke
my sleep and rest, but they were less violent
and less frequent. At the end of two weeks
I was so much improved that I could not
but admit to myself that the little pills were
wonderful. Gradually the pain in my head
lessened, and at the end of a month it nearly
disappeared.
“After taking the pills for a month I was
cured. That was a year ago, and I have not
suffered since.
“What was the cause of those headaches!
you ask. They came from my stomach. It
was out of order, and so was my whole sys
tem. I was run- down, but my stomach
caused me the most trouble. I am glad to
testify to the merit of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills because it is on account of the willing
ness of others to do the same that lam rid of
a ^distressing malady, and it will give me
pleasure to know that — 1
my testimonial may
be the means of helping some one else.”
Mr. Vogel is about twenty-three years old,
and is the son of Charles Vogel, a mason
contractor, with whom he makes his home.
The sale of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People is enormous. An analysis of their
properties shows that they contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and re
store shattered nerves. They are an unfail
ing specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St Vitus’ dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headaohe, the effect of la grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow complexions,
that tired feeling resulting from nervous pros
tration; all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic
erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such as suppres
sions, irregularities and all forms of weak
ness. They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
In men they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or ex
cesses of whatever nature. There are no ill
effects following the use of this wonderful
medioine, and it can be given to children with
perfect safety. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are
sold by all .dealers, or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price, f>0 cents a box or six boxes

T *HE delights of an evening spent around a well-lighted read
ing table are not half understood. - An illustrated magazine
. with its wealth of illustrations, its stories of adventure and
^ love, its descriptions of travel which carry you to the remotest
ends of the earth, and its instructive articles for young and old—these
are the first requisite for your own enjoyment and the entertainment
and proper education of your children.
To secure for you the best and most interesting of the great illus
trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the aim of the
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our readers
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo
politan, which seeks to become better known in this neighborhood, has
enabled us to offer ygu a year’s subscription to the greatest of the illus
trated magazines together with a year’s subscription to this journal,
In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what some of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimedThat it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan whidrsent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol
itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence
University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was
The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize of $3,000 for the best horse
less carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange
ment of sewer and pipe systems for'cities. It was The Cosmopolitan
which' set the presidents of great schools and universities seriously
discussing the defects of existing educational systems. 3 It is The
Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the ,
world’s civilization. ' ~
ning of what may be regarded os a new
era; that the smouldering embers of for
eign war and internal dissensions will
be amicably adjusted', and onr nation
will settle down t-o business onoe more
with a fnture so bright that the average
mind will but partially comprehend the
magnitude of its results and possibilities.
The new year is remarkable In more
than one respect. It brings ns not only
face to face with new and strange polit
ical questions, but the long hoped for
prosperity promised us by the present
federal administration upon the settle
ment of these questions. During the
past five years we ha've traveled wearily
through a most trying period of depres
sion. Met on all sides by discouraging
conditions, we, have had many hard
ships and set-backs, but much of it- has
been our own fault. We have the rem
edy in onr own hands for many of onr
"roubles. Will we apply it, and apply
it now? As I see it, the remedy lies,
first, in the farmer raising his own sup
plies at home, ample and sufficient; then
raise as much cotton as yon can. When
your bams are full, your, mules will do
a good day’s work. Yonr oows give
milk, and your bntter is sweet, rich and
of a golden hue. Your hens lay every
day, and your hogs are healthy and
prolific. But when yonr barns are
empty, your mnles have the lampers or
blind staggers, your cows have hollow-
horn, the feathers on your hens are
turned the wrong way, and your hogs
get lousey and have the mange.
I speak to the farmers from practical
experience. I was bora and reared'in
Southwest Georgia, in the heart of the
cotton belt. I belong to yonr profes
sion, am one of yon, and I know
that no man in that section can
produce cotton at the present price,
to the neglect of his plahtation
supplies. He cannot keep up his
farm, support'his family and educate
his children. You may take the best
farmer in Georgia, Jet him adopt this
plan, and it will only be a question of
time—the end of .that man will be bank-
rnptcy. Do not misunderstand me. I
am notagainst the production of cot
ton as a product, because Georgia is a
cotton state, and we need a cotton crop
as well as other products, but not to the
exclusion of other crops. Therefore, let
me beg yon, once more, to arrange and
diversify yonr orops, so that this fall we
may arrive at the gates of prosperity, to
see stretched peacefully before ns the
broad, rich and snnny fields of industry,
laden with the golden fruits of con
tented toil—a picture, as well as a
reality, which all the people of Geor
gia will hail with joy.
There has been a great deal of com
plaint, in a general way, that the in
spections and analyses of fertilizers, af
ter all, have been unsatisfactory. I
have, therefore, determined to make a
complete and thorough inspection of all
guanos, in every section of the state.
To this end, if at any time a consumer
or retail agent may desire an in
spection of any brand of fertilizer, he
can, by giving'notice to this depart
ment, have a sample taken by ah au
thorized inspector, and the same shall
be analyzed by the state ohemist; pro
vided, however, that in all such cases
samples shall be taken from nnbroken
bags or packages. The consumers pay
the tax oh guanos,and it will be my pleas
ure to see that they are amply protected,
and it shall be done, even though it
take all of the fertilizer tax to accom
plish it. All I ask is the co-operation
of the farmers of Georgia.
In the face of a short corn and forage
crop the-farmers generally, throughout
the state, had determined to sow more
largely of grain, ;but the weather condi
tions have been very unfavorable for
both fall and spring seeding; hence the
acreage both for wheat' arid oats falls
far short of what we at one time ex
pected. The spring sowing of oats has
been seriously damaged, and in many
sections entirely killed. Of course, this
is a heavy blow to the agricultural in
terests of Georgia; bnt we must meet
these conditions as best we can by sub
stituting such forage crops as are best
snited to onr soil. I would suggest the
planting of an acre of sorghum, an acre
of rye, an acre of millet, an acre of oats,
an acre of early speckle peas for a for
age crop. .Use the best land at yonr

aration of the soil, and manure liber-

As to Onion PluiiUng.
Question.—Will you please inform
me how many onion sets I will need ta
plan tone acre in onions? I would be
glad to have any information in regard
to onion planting, culture, harvesting
and marketing the same. _
Answer.—The onion crop is regarded
as one of the most profitable of the gar
den. It is usually grown from seta
sold in bunches in the green state; how
ever, many gardeners raise their own
sets and save the expense of baying
them. This can be done by selecting a
poor piece of land, pulverizing the soil
with a plow, harrow and rake. It will
take abont four ponnds of good onion
seed to plant one acre if yon have a
machine, otherwise, it will take a little
more if yon use the hand. Sow in rows
abont nine inches apart. Skip every
seventh row. This will form an alley
18 inches wide. As yon want a small
bulb, sow thick. Take np the sets, say
about Aug. 1, well dried, place in youi
barn loft, spread out not more than
four inches thick. When frost comes
cover with straw or hay abont six inches
deep. In the early spring yen have
yonr own sets for nse.
As yon want, now, the biggest onion,
yon want the best soil at your com
mand. Broadcast and plow in wall-
rotted manure at the rate of 75 tons pel
acre. Again, yonr preparation of the
soil must be thorough and deep, and
the land pat in perfect order. Plant
sets in rows 9 inches apart, leaving
the seventh row for an alley. Place
sets in the drills at the distance of 8
inches apart, pressing the bulb firmly
down, right side np. Close the rows
with a rake or the foot Boll the
ground well and make it compact. As
soon as you can plainly see the onions
begin to start np, nse the hoe in the
middle, and where you can not nse the
hoe, nse the fingers in breaking the
ground around the plant. Two or three
good workings, if done at the propel
time, will be sufficient. It will tak
from 6 to 10 bushels of sets to plant
an acre, depending upon the size of the
sets.—Sta'e Agricultural Department.
Spring and Summer Forage.
Question; — The unprecedented fall
and winter prevented the farmers from
saving forage and sowing grain crops.
What shall we do for spring and sum
mer forage?
Answer.—It is not too late to sow
the Burt or the White oat—can sow on
good lands, (branch bottoms and well-
manured plots) until March 11 with fair
success, bnt advise that farmers
should not depend entirely on oats for
forage. Our plan would be to plant
sorghum, (Early Amber is best) millet,
(German and Cattail) milo maize, Kaf
fir corn, whippoorwill peas, popoom
and the early varieties of Indian corn,
on land thoroughly prepared and highly
manured with lot and stable manure or
good commercial fertilizers that con
tain 2 or 8 per cent of ammonia, so as
to rush the crops and afford jfienty of
stalk and foliage. The crops should be
harvested when they are in the dough,
oared as hay and fed to stock as hay or
fodder; or can be cut earlier and fed as
green stuff. After ontting off the crop
then plant peas, either in drill or broad
cast, and thus renew the fertility of the
land as well as produce provender lor
another year.—State Agricultural De
partment.

destructive work of sapping the life of
the tree. Even during the dormant pe
riod there come days warm enough to
revive the mseots and set them to breed
ing again.
In January, 1898, infested peach twigs
were received from Danville, Ga., on
which living yonng were crawling pro
fusely. On Feb. 14, 1899, speoimens
were received at this office from Cairo,
Ga., and upon examination they were
fonnd to be breeding. On March 8,1898,
I inspected an orchard in South Georgia
and fonnd the scale breeding freely on
plnm trees. From this almost incessant
breeding and feeding it can be readily
understood that the San Jose scale is
more dangerous in southern climates
than at the north, where the period of
its destructive work is cat short by the
cold of winter.
Again, the peach frees being more
susceptible to injnries of any kind than
almost any other orchard tree, and since
the peach is the principal fruit grown
in this state, we suffer more from the
ravages of the scale than other states
that grow apples and other fruits that
are more resistant.
With ns peach trees are entirely killed
in two seasons after they are first at
tacked. T>n April SO, 1898,1 inspected
an orchard of 1,000 3-year peach trees
at Pine City, Ga., and after careful
search found only six trees infested
with the San Jose scale. No treatment
was applied to this orchard, and on
Nov. 16 of the same year I visited it
again, and fonnd one-third of the trees
entirely crusted over with the scale and
in a dying condition.
In view of these facts, with other
similar cases, we must conclude that
the San Jose scale is much more de
structive in the southern states than at
the north.—State Entomologist.
Spraying Kor the Pest.
Question.—Owing to the continued
rains, I have been unable to spray a sin
gle tree since Christmas. How late can
I spray for the San Jose scale, and must
the per cent of oil be diminished as the
buds advance?
Answer.—Twenty-five per cent of
kereosene Is the strength to be used
against tho San Jose scale during the
dormant period, and this can be used in
the spring until the fruit buds begin to
'open. In the spring when the tree be'
gins to grow it Is even in better condi
tion to resist the ill effects of the kereo
sene. It is invigorated and enabled to
throw off the oil that might penetrate
the bark. It is not safe, however, to
spray with any per cpnt white the trees
are In full bloom. The kereosene would
burn the petals and injure the fruit
After the bloom is shed the spraying
can be continued with a 15 per cent
mixture. A greater per cent would
likely burn the tender foliage. The 15
per cent strength will kill a large per
cent of the scale and check its ravages
to a great extent. If the orchard has re
ceived the 25 per. cent winter treatment
however, it should not be neoessary to
commence the summer treatment so
early. Every favorable day np to the
blooming period should be utilized in
spraying infested trees with the 26 per
cent mixture. It is important that
bright, sunshiny days be seleoted to ap
ply the treatment, otherwise the oil
may penetrate the bark of the trees and
injure them before evaporating.—State
