A YOUNG LADY’S LIFE SAVED
At, Pa no ma, Colombia, by Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera uNcl Diar
rhoea Remedy.
Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent
physician of Panama, Colombia,
in a recent letter 9ays: “Last
March I had as a patient a young
lady sixteen $m£& of age, who had
a very bad attack of dysentery.
Kveiything I prescribed for her
proved ineffectual and she was
growing worse every hour, Her
parents were sure she would die.
She had become so weak that she
could not. turn over in bed. What
to do at this critical moment was
a study for me, but I thought
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a
laBt resort prescribed it. The most
wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she was feel
ing much better; inside of three
days she was upon her feet and at.
the end of one week was entirely
well-.” For sale by all dealers in

Sixteen Billio i Dollars In Farms.
The census bureau has issued a
bulleatin giving the condition of
agriculture in the United States
for the year 1900. It shows that
there were at that time 5,789,657
farms in the entire county, which
were valued at $16,674,694,257.
Of this amount $8,560,198,191, or
over 21 per cent, represented the
value of buildings, and $18,114,-
492,056, or over s 78 per cent, rep
resented the value of lands and
improvements other than buildh-
ings.
The value of farm implements
and machinery was $761,261,550,
and of live Block $8,078,060,041.
These values added to the value
of the farms gives a total value of
farm property amounting to $20,-
614,001,888.
The total value of farm pro
ducts for the year 1899 is given at
$4,789,118,752, of which amount
$1,718,990,221 was for animal
products, including live stock,
poultry and bee products.
The bulletin places the aver
age size of farms in the United
States at 146 acres, and it is stat
ed that 49 per c§nt of the farm
land is improved. The total acre
age for the entire country was
841,801,546.
The number of farms in the
United States has increased in
every decade for the last 60 years,
and so rapidly that in 1900 there
were nearly four times as many
farms as in 1850, and 25 percent
more than in 1890. The total
acreage of farm land also has in
creased, but up to 1880 less rapid
ity than the number of farms,
thus involving a steady decrease
in the average Bize of farms. Since
1880, however, the total acreage
has increased more rapidly than
the number of farms, so that the
average size of farms has increas
ed. The total area of improved
land has increased in every de
cade since 1860.
A comparison by states indi
cates that the most important
states in the agriculture of the
country are, beginning at the
west, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
North Carolina. Together they
contribute 44 per cent of the to
tal value of the farm property and
88 per cent of the total value of
farm products. Texas leads with
the greatest number of farms,
852,190, and also with the highest
acreage, 125,807,017. But only a
little over 15 percent of the farm
land in Texas was improved, and
the value of farm land in Texas
was less than in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, New York, MisBsouri, Iowa
or Illinois, being $962,476,278.
Missouri ranks second in the
numher of farms, having 284,886.
Other states having over 200,000
are: Alabama, 228,820; Georgia,
284,690; Illinois, 265,151; : Indi
ana, 221,897; Iowa, 228*622; Ken
tuoky, 221,66T; Michigan, 208,-
261; Mississippi, 220,808; New
York, 226,720; North Carolina,
224,687; Ohio, 276,719; Pennsyl
vania, 224,248; Tennessee, 224,-
628. Iowa leads the list in the
percentage of improved farm
lands, more than 86 per cent of
the farm lands of that state being
improved. Illinois follows with
more than 84 por oent; Ohio
comes next with 78 per oent, and
is followed by Indiana, with more
than 77 per ceut. Illinois occu
pies the first position in the mat
ter of the total value of farm
lands, the figures for that state
being $2,004,816,897. Other state
values are:
Tennessee, $841,202,025; Texas,
$962,476,278; Virginia, $828,515,
977.
The live stock farm lands of the
country are put down at a value
of $7,605,284,273, or more than
86 per cent of the whole; the hay
and grain lands at $6,879,648,548,
or 81 per cent of the whole; dairy
products over 8 per cent; cotton
over 5 per cent. There are 512
coffee, farms in-the country, valu
ed at $1,982,915.

Ploughing with Elephants.
Joel Beuton, in the August Century
ft may be said of P. T. Barnum
that he was the Majordomo or
Lord of Laughter . and Fun, the j
protean Dispenser of Amusement. |
How w«U he became known
through this function one curi
ous incident certifies. Some years
before he died, an obscure person
in some remote part of Asia wrote
a letter, which he dropped in the
post-office near him, directed to
“Mr. Barnum, America.” The
letter reached its destination
without an hour’s delay. The
great showman unaffectedly en
joyed being known from the very
beginning of his celebrity; and
when he found his celebrity was a
tremendous factor in his success,
he did everything he could think
of to extend the exploitation of
his name. This was not to nour
ish vain imaginings or because he
felt exalted; it was to promote
business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Connecticut, he was
fond of putting something that
suggested a show. Queerly mark
ed cattle, the sacred cow, or an
elephant, were frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his
fields. On one occasion he had an
elephant ongaged in ploughing on
the sloping hill where it could
plainly be seen by the passengers
on the New Haven and Hartford
railroad, an agricultural innova
tion that he knew would get no
tice of some sort in every newspa
per in the country. It was even
said that he received letters from
farmers far and wide asking how
much hay one elephant ate, and/
if it was more profitable to
plough with an elephant than
horses or oxen.* His replies were
invariably frank, and were of this
purport: If you have a large mu
seum in New York, and a great
railway sends trains full of pas-*
Bengers within eyeshot of tins per
formance, it will pay, and pay
well; but if you have no such in
stitution, then horses or oxen will
prove more economical.

Tending Toward Favoritism.
The committee appointed by
the Georgia bar association to de
vise ways and means for relieving
the supreme court of its alleged
burden of overwork will recom
mend the passage of an act taking
away the right of appeal to the
supreme court iu all cases where
the amount involved is under
$500, except in certain cases such
as criminal, divorce, equity, ha
beas corpus and other cases of
like nature, where appeal is often
necessary.
‘ This is an injustice. It is very
possible and probable that a poor
man’s all may not amount to
more than $500 and yet be in
volved in a lawsuit. Should the
lower court err he will have no
recourse, but must submit to its
verdict, should the recommenda
tion of the bar become a law. As
a matter of fact, the man who
has $500 involved in a lawsuit is
just as much entitled to full and
free justice as one with $5,000.
The step recommended displays
discrimination and rank favorit
ism, and should not be allowed to
become a law.—Dawson News.

A man talks about owning his
business. But, as a matter of
fact his business owns him. His
whole life is regulated by the de
mands of the business. The time
at which he rises, his breakfast
hour, the time given to meals, are
all determined by business obliga
tions. He rushes through lunch
because he “can’t spare the time
from business” to eat leisurely.
He won’t take a rest because he is
needed at the store or office. He
is in fact an absolute slave to bus
iness. The results which follow
this slavery are to be seen on
every hand. Men dyspeptic, irri
table, nervous with drawn faces,
and hollow eyes, sit at the desk
or stand behind the counter until
they collapse in a fit of sickness,
or are taken away by heart fail
ure. Those who cannot escape
the exactions of business will
find a friend in Dr. Pierce’s Gold

ens the stomach, increases the ac
tion of the blood-making glands,
increasing the vitality and physi
cal vigor. It makes inen strong
