; . A Sermon on Rum.
Brethren: My text is one word,
R XT. M, Rum. My first question
is, are you empty-headed? If so,
there is no use talking; but if you
have sense, you must know that
R stands for Rags, Ruin and Ras
cality. U stands for you—-the
fellow thas is listening, and no
body else. I want to know what
you are going to do about it. Are
you going to do what a lot of
other fellows want you to do, or
will you do as you want to do?
Who tells you what to do? Who
is your boss? Is it the crowd, the
gang, “all the other fellows, ” or is
it you? What does M stand for?
That depends on what you stand
for; it depends on whether you
stand at all on your own legs or
have to be propped up on some
body else’s crutches. Yes, it all
depends on you whether M will
stand for mumbling, misery,
mendicacy, and madness, or for
muscle, money and manhood.
Absurd Cure for Colds.
The mao who originated the
oft-quoted maxim, “Stuff a cold
and starve a fever,” either did not
understand what he was talking
about, or he has been widely mis
understood, to the great injury of
multitudes who have acted upon
the absurd maxim. Presuming
that the author of it was a physi
cian who knew something of the
nature of colds and the action of
remedies, he must have spoken
Bubjunctively and not impera
tively, and then it would read
thus: “If you stuff a cold the
consequences will be that you will
be thrown into a fever as a result
of the stuffing treatment of the
cold, and then you will have to
starve the fever.” This is a true
and sensible interpretation of this
commonly received maxim, which
has done as much harm as the
.thousand and one popular errors
which prevail on medical subjects.
SUGAR CANE CULTURE,
Information Given by tbe State
ricultural Department.
Question.—Some time since I saw $
stated that good cane could be grow*
from the top third of cane. Pleas*
write me if this theory can be relied on,
Any other information touching can*
culture will interest south Georgil
planters.
Answer.—It has been demonstrated
by Dir. W. O. Stubbs, of the Louisian!
Sugar Experiment Station, as well a!
other directors, that the top third of the
cane stalk is not as good, but superioa
for seed purposes. Dr. Stubbs recom
mends that only this portion of thi
plant be used for seed. The tops, how*
ever, should not be banked, as is th<
custom where the whole cane is used fof
seed purposes. The land upon whiol?
oane is to be grown another seasou
should be thoroughly prepared, and thl

"The top third of the cane,*’ says Dr.
Stubbs, "should be cut off and planted
in the rows in the usual manner, but
without stripping. The tops are then
covered by means of a turning plow and
the middles opened to allow drainage
To prevent freezing the cane tops should
be covered from 5 to 6 inches deep. Thitf
method of seed saving is the practice of
many farmers in Louisiana, and is u«
longer an experiment.**
The Southern Farm Magazine say!
that Dr. Stubbs, after six years of expe
riments With a great variety of. canes,
has developed a sugar cane which if
capable of yielding 30 per, cent more oi
sugar than the cane now grown in the
state of Louisiana- He claims that this
variety of cane will produce 38 tons to
the acre./ The juice yields 16 per cenf
of sugar, while , the old cane gives an
acreage of 30 to 35 tons, with a 12 pei
cent yield in the juice.
Small bundles of tins cane will be
furnished to-planters of Louisiana free.
Would it not be a good plan a for a fevr
of our Georgia farmers tointerest them
selves in this new variety of sugar cane,
whicn promises so much for our sister
state? Dr. Stubbs’ address is Audubon

The Valdosta Times says: A
young man cannot learn too soon,
the value of good' cheer; he should
early and late cultivate the ability
to look on the bright side. He
should find what many a man has
failed to discover, that there is
such a thing as the sunny side of
shadow. He will encounter diffi
culties ; he will meet enemies; he
will bear burdens; but if he can
maintain a serene, even temper,
and an unconquerable, hopeful
spirit, he will succeed where mul
titudes fail.
