The pale, sallow, sunken-checked, dis tressed-looking; people you so often meet are afflicted with ‘Kidney Complexion. Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion, j They may also have indigestion or suf Ifer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus tion and sometimes the heart acts bad ly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kid ne\s. Usually the sufferer from kidney dis ease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medi cine or a doctoi until they find themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen the weak and diseased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney poisened blood, clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy better health. You can get the regular sizes at the drug stole, at fifty cents and one dollar, or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root, by sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Peach Output In Georgia. Question —Is peach culture in Geor gia likely to be overdone? Answer —I think not. It is true that the acreage of peaches will be greatly increased by this season’s planting, aud that the demand for peach stock can with difficulty be tilled by the nursery men. There will not, however, be a greatly increased acreage of bearing trees, and the corresponding increase in additional markets, and in the popular ity of the Georgia peach, will more than offset the increase. There moat be a large planting annually to keep up the present acreage, as peaoh trees are short lived and many die each year from various causes. It is probable that fully one-third of the trees planted this sea son will never oome into bearing. To grow peaches profitably requires the greatest attention. Proper cultivation and fertilization, careful pi nning and treatment for inseot pests and diseases, are necessary to success, and at least one-third of the orchards of the state do not receive snch attention, and they go down. The Ban Jose scale has caused the destruction of over 100,000 trees dar ing the past season, and probably as many more will be destroyed before the winter is over. If the borers are neg lected for two or three years, and dar ing that time the trees produce a heavy crop, the drain made upon their vitality by the borers and the productien of the crop, will cause a large proportion of them to die. Intending planters should not be dis oouraged by these statements, for they are encouraging to those who intend to give their orchards the proper oare. Money can be made in Georgia by the intelligent fruit grower. It is estimated that the peach growers alone have net ted over 11,000,000 during the post sea sou. One party sold four cars of peaches for 96.468, and his entire shipments ■mounted to 90 cars. Some growers re ceived poor returns on account of bad handling, poor packing aud rascally commission merchants, but good fruit, well handled and properly shipped, gave very satisfactory rstnms. I be lieve there will never be an over pro duction of choice peaches.—State Agri cultural Department. SIOO Seward 3100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that isCatarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Being a con stitutional disease, requires a constitu tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly up on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative pow ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol lars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F. J.

Is there any rem edy for it. aud what causes it? Answer.— There are two varieties at this disease, knowu generally as blind, aud sleepy staggero, according to th* symptoms displayed by the sick animal In blind staggers the animal rushes around recklessly, running against or falling over any obstruction in his veay. In sleepy staggers the affected horse or mule appears dull and stupid, standing quietly with lowered head, or perhaps with its head pressing against a fence or wall. The disease, however, is the satn* in both cases, and being a brain disease, is very hard to relieve or central. Some of the horse books assert that it is caused by over gorging, but from ray own ex perience lam sure it is brought oa by eating damaged or rotten corn. It is the general sentiment among farmers that there is more damaged corn this year than they ever knew before, at tributable no doubt to the continuous rains of last summer. Numerous com plaints of this disease are coming to this department, and I fear that the loss on this score will be heavy throughout tile state. In feeding horses and mules be very careful to see that they get no damaged corn, or you are likely to meet with losses from this very fatal disease. Wheu the disease is fully developed lit tle or nothihg can be done to save the animal, but if upou its first appearance proper treatment is resorted to many cases can be cured. The treatment con sists in promptly bleeding the animal freely, aud giving a good dose of salts or oil. If the medicine (lees not act to two and a half or three hours the dose should be repeated. Prevention, how ever, is better than cure, therefore you should use every care to keep damaged com out of the horse stable.—State Ag ricultural Department.

Wheat Sowing so Georgia. Question —Is it now too late to sow wheat? Answer —Good crops of wheat hare been raised in the middle and northern sei ms of the state sowed as late as the middle of January. You should have sowed about tl., middle of Novem her, provided the cold weather had by that time destroyed the Hessian fly, which is very apt to ruin a wheat crop sowed before frost. To hope for a fair crop, planted at this late date, your ground must be rich, either naturally or by the liberal use of fertilizers. Prepare the land with extra care for the reception of the seed, and do not fail to broadcast frets 60 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre when the spring growth com. mences. Then with a favorable season you may make a fair crop of wheat. Be sure to follow your wheat crop with peas sown broadcast; they will not only give yon a splendid crop of hay, Bhl will also enrich yonr soil with nitrogen, the most costly of plant foods. A Narrow Escape Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D: “Was taken with a b id cold which settled on my lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in Consump tion. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above.

Gentlemen; I can not recommend your Pitts’ Carminative too strongly, as I owe my baby’s life to it. She had Cholera Infantum when five months old, and 1 could get no relief until 1 began using Pitt’s Carminative. The fever left her when I had given her but two bottles, and she had fattened so she did not look like the same child.

When ,t puar orchard is badly blight ed, the owner writes to everybody who claims to know anything on the subject, hi. I every one will write him to prune, prone, prune, when really the truth'll that the more he prunes the worse will be the blight. When an orchard is badly blighted, the thing to do is to let it alone as completely as possible. Don’t prune a limb, doD’t plow it or do anything else to it that will stimulate the trees. The trees are certainly in bad shape for two years. Let them aloue till the trees make but a small growth. Don't oultivate the land. Then fertilize with phosphorio acid and potash (no nitrogen). Kaiait and acid are good forms. Apply broad #g"t 600 pounds of each to the aare. Less will do good; more will do more good. Plow it in lightly, say three or four inches. This shonld be done in the winter between Deo. 1 and Jan. 16. If done earlier, vegetation is too mnefa in the way. If done later, there will be danger of causing the trees to bloom too early. In May give the orchard another cultivation, most advantageonely done with a ontaway harrew, plowing about the same depth as before. The season following give tbs same fertilizers and the same plowings. If the trees are rather vigorous, leave off the May plow ing. When you have atarredoutthe blight and have got the trees to where they make but a small growth annually, whloh will be just before you oommenoe the fertilizing and plowing described above, then is the time to prune, prune, prune. Don’t prune with a knife or shears, bat with a saw. Saw off the worst blighted limbs, the straggling limbs, the chafing limbs and the very tall limbs. Ont them half in two, re ducing the tree nearly one-half. Apply kainlt and acid annually; give the orohard two plowings; never plant peas, beggar weeds or turn under a heavy erop of any vegetable growth. Then count blight a blessing, nr yon will have studied the reqairaaeofe of pear trees and supplied their needs, says fi. W. Stone of Georgia ia The Rural New Yorker.

It is manifestly impossible to give more than is received, else one finds he has broken all laws of common sense; yet this is often made the new catch-penny inducement to intending piano purchasers. We often read in the daily papers statements of offers made on pianos of high class, “containing every known inducement,” for an exceedingly small sum of money and on ridiculously low monthly or quar terly payments. The impossible is proffered, and he who does it knowingly falsifies himself and assumes that the purchaser is incompetent or foolish, else he could not be caught in such a net of fraud and deception. There is no oc casion for deceit, yet the history of the piano trade shows it to be crowded with miss-statements regarding the grades and prices. We have found it nec essary in the management of our wholesale trade to withdraw the sale of our pianos from some of our country dealers. In order to close the accounts -with these particular dealers we have found it necessary to take from them a num ber of pianos of various makes and place them on our floors for sale, applying I the proceeds of such sales to their accounts in order to settle the account with them. We do not expect to give Two dollars for One. but we have in these I instruments pianos of Standard makes, many of which could not be detected from new instruments directly from the Factory w hen placed side by side with ' new pianos in our store, and which these dealers have been asking a reasonable profit for, that will be offered during the next few days at very much lower I prices than these goods have ever been sold. We shall make an extraordinary \ effort to close out every instrument on our floors of this class between now and ! January first. In order to do this w’e find it necessary to ofler these instru ments at wholesale prices to dealers, or even less. We would advise any' one ? who expects to purchase an instrument during the next few years to consult us in regard to prices on these pianos at once. In addition to a large stock of the above described instruments, w r e have probably’ the most complete stock in the j South of Everett and Harvard pianos which are perfectly new and direct ; f rom our two Factories. These instruments are made in all of the fancy w’oods and are unequaled in tone, quality and durability. Remember that the Everett 5 piano is the only piano guaranteed for the entire lifetime of the instrument.
