It does not require an expert to detect the sufifierer from kidney trouble. The hollow checks, the sunken eyes, the dark puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urniate often, or a burning or scalding !n passing it:jf after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated,or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptons are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, cattarh of the bladder, intiammatron, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instrumehts, or mpv rnn into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble.

A REDUCTION IN THE COTTON AREA COMMISSIONER OK AGRICULT URE STEVENS ESTIMATES A 15 I’ER CENT REDUCTION. GOOD WHEAT BUT POOR OATS FnriiifTa Urged to Utilize Every Avail abio Acre of Land lly Planting It In Cow peas. Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, Jane 20, 1899. Since our last letter many changes have taken place on the farm, and much good work has been done in most all sections of the state. The harvesting of wheat and oats began some weeks since in South Georgia with a fairly good yield of wheat, but the oat crop will be 6hort, owing to the fact that the weather conditions for both fall and spring were unpropitious for seed ing, and many sections have suffered for the want of rain in May. From our crop reports it will be seen that the acreage in corn has been very materially in creased this year, amounting to 24 per cent over last year. Wheat shows an increase of lti por cent. It would have been much higher had the weather conditions for seediug last fall been fa vorable. We are encouraged to believe that in the future Georgia will raise lier own corn and wheat and have this grain ground into meal and flour by mills within tbe borders of our own state. Why not? Can we afford longer not to do so? Now, when you have harvested your small grain crop, we would urge the farmers to utilize every available acre of land by planting it in cowpeas. The cowpea is the salvation of our wornout and wasted lauds, it is the salvation of our uplands, our lowlands, our rich lands and our poor lauds—we believe, too, that it will be the solution of the fertilizer question. Plant oue-half your land in peas and in five years you can curtail your expense for guano one-half, and your crops will yield as much as they do under the present system. After trying this plan for ten years wo believe that you would find it necessary to buy very little of the high priced ammoniated guanos, if any at all. In some way we must de crease the purchase of eomvicrclal fertil izers, aud this, in our judgment, can ho done by planting large pea crops and making yonr own guano at home. This cannot be done at once, bnt could be accomplished in a few years. Won’t you begin now—this season—and plant yonr lands in peas? We can only hint at these matters, and cannot take space to elaborate them. Won’t yon make this a memorable year for a large pea crop, and thereby not only improve your lauds, but obtain a splendid forage crop besides? REDUCTION op cotton acreage. We are glad to announce a reduc tion of the cotton acreage, not only in Georgia, bnt throughout the entire oot ton belt. There has also been a reduction in the amount of com mercial fertilizers used. While the reduction of cotton acreage has not been as large as we might have wished, still we have made a good showing For the season of 1897 and 1898 Georgia used np to June 1, 1898, about 423,000 tous of commercial fertijj izers. For the season of 1898 and 1899 Georgia used up to June 1, 1899, about 885,000 tons, or 21 per cent loss than last season. Last season Georgia spent the enormous sum, iu round numbers, of $8,500,000 for commercial fertilizers. For this season Georgia spent abont $6,750,000 for commercial fertilizers. Thus about $1,750,000 have been saved to the farmers of this state. We must not forget that a considerable amonnt of the fertilizers for this season was used in the increased acreage of wheat, and other crops than cot ton, for by reference to our crop re ports it will be seen that the wheat and corn acreage has been very materially increased. Hence we can safely esti mate that the amount of commercial fertilizers has beeu redneed 26 per oent as applied to the cotton crop alone. We note with pleasure that other states have also reduced their ootton acreage. In our judgment, the reduction of the ootton acreage in some of the states is greater than is shown by the reports of the United States Agricultural Department and those issned by Latham, Alexander & 00. We have been in direct communi cation with the Departments of Agri culture for the various cotton produoing states, and frQm the information re ceived from such sources we are led to believe that the cotton acreage for the entire cotton belt has been reduced at least 16 per oent this season. We are mindful that other sources place this reduction at only 10 per cent, but we believe that time will prove that we are right in this estimate. The Georgia State Board of Entomol ogy has recently issned a bulletin deal ing with the insect pests and fungous diseases, designated as dangerously in jurious to plants, with suggestions for remedial work, for distribution among the farmers and fruit growers of the state. This publication will be sent free to all such interested persons who make application for it to W. M. Soott, State Entomologist, Atlanta, Ga.

Interesting Article on This Crop With Practical Suggestions Kor Plant ing and Cultivation? Much has been written in succes sive years concerning the preservation anti upbuilding of tho farming lauds of the south. Necessarily this question is one of great importance, as we have for years been grow ing cotton to the exclusion of other useful crops— paying 60 much attention to what is called "the moneyed crop of the south'* nnd giving hardly any attention to the wear and tear of our lands. Of neoessity the cultivation of a cotton crop is one of clean culture, which lets the summer’s sun and winter’* rains bleach our lands of the elements of plant food that is necessary to the preservation of the land thus cultitated. The best informed and the most scientific farmers understand that to preserve their lands they must fur nish such quantities of plant food as will replace that which has been taken from them by the crops grown during the year. It has been a favorite method to try to repair the drain upon the land by furnishing to the crops an artificial plant food com monly known as "Commercial Fertil izers.” We are willing to admit that the use of these "Commercial Fertil izers" benefits the growing crops, but as above stated, the clean culture lets the summer's sun and winter's rains bleach out the remainder, so that we are obliged to depend upou artificial means to give our crops the supply of plant food necessary for succeeding crops. Each year requires more and more fer tilizer per acre in order to supply the demand made by nature. The question arises how can we hope to keep our lands in a high state of cul tivation; how can we give in return more than we have taken away? Year by year our land degenerates, and .as a consequence we become poorer. What should we do to remedy this evil and fill our barns? The only answer is, save what you al ready have and lay by something for posterity. This can he done on the farm to far better advantage than in most any other profession. This question must be looked squarely in the face, as any other business profession. My advice to the farmers at this sea son of the year is To plant peas, not only for feeding purposes, but as a ren ovator of their lands. Plant enough peas in your corn for seed for another year and sow the rest of your corn, oat and wheat lands broadcast for manuring purp'oses. Onr common peas are mostly an air plaut. They absorb the nitrogen from the air and deposit the same in their roots, so that they furnish ammonia for another season. The vines or woody matter furnish potash and loam, as well as prevent • the washing of the soil already made. Years of ex perience shows that this plant not only renovates the land, bat is an excellent forage crop. Now as to the cultivation of this val uable crop I would suggest, for the pur pose of raising seed for another season, that peas be planted in the middle of the rows when you lay by your corn at the third plowing. When the peas are abont 6 inches high take a short scooter or ripper with an 18 inch sweep and run on either side, thus giving the peas one plowing, which will be sufficient, as the corn will shade the ground so as to pre vent the grass from growing too freely. Or if you desire not to molest your corn, then when yon cut off yonr grain plant your peas in 3-foot rows and cul tivate as you do corn or cotton. Two plowings will make them. Gather them and let your vines rot on the ground, thns building up your land and gathering enough to plant another year and 'or feeding purposes. For manuring purposes sow broadcast in the corn when you lay by, also over the small grain lands, thoroughly break ing same. Sow from 3 pecks to 1 bushel per acre. Allow the peas to get thor oughly ripe and turn same under during the late fall. • If yon desire to out them for hay it should be done when the pea-pods be gin to ripen. I will write an artiole later concern ing coring pea hay, as this article is in tended only to urge the farmers to sea the necessity of bringing up their lands and at the same time filling their barns. If we will only ase the means we have at hand and work with energy and patience we can truly inake this the garden spot of the world. I advise the use of the following peas: The Unknown, the Olay, Red Ripper and Whippoorwill. Again let me urge every farmer to plant largely, and if ha can procure the seed sow every foot of available land ! in this (nature’s) sabsoiler.—State Ag ricultural Department.

I think it far excels Zeilin’s and Black Draught in strength and mildness of action. “Yon-All.” A few days ago the New York Evening Post published a sympo sium on the subject of the South ern use of “you-all.” The South ern contributors admit that Southern people of education and refinement use tho term, but al ways in the plurnl. The North ern contributors • insist that Southern people of all classes use the term in the singular—that is, when addressing one person and meaning but one. This is an old controversy, and apparently it will never he settled. Except in one particular, name ly that Northerners do not use the expression at all, their con tention suggests that of uninform ed English writers who insist on putting the misplaced “h” (e, g, “that’s the dinner ’orn for hus”) into the mouths of the uncultiva ted Americans, regardless of the unquestionable fact that no na tive American of any class, whether living in the North, South, East or Wost, is ever guil ty of this peculiarly English sole cism. Nevertheless, the Northerner who has sojourned in the South and heard “yon-all” even more frequently than “where at” is convinced that he is right about this matter, and it is easy to see how he is misled. Ho hears the huckster at the door inquire of the single person who answers his call. “Do you-all want any veg etables?” and leaps to the conclu sion that only one person is meant, when he only needs to in terview the huckster in order to learn that is “you-all” referred not merely to the person who went to the door but to the whole fam ily. Again he hears an educated lady or young man say to a single person encountered on tho street or elsewhere, “You-all must come to see us,” and concludes without inquiry that the invitation is ex tended to only one person, when in reality it is given to several, perhaps all the adult members of a whole family, or even all the “sisters and cousins and aunts” of the person who receives the invi tation. It is an absolute fact that both the Southerner emplowiug “you all” in addressing one person And the person so addressed attach this plural significatiou to the term, the Northern observer to the contrary notwithstanding. Nevertheless, it is a colloquialism that rings odly on the ear of the outsider not accustomed to it, and is therefore to be avoided by every one who would eliminate provincialism from his speech. It is no worse than “you folks” or “you people,” which, in common parlance in the North, expresses the same idea, but it is better to say “you-all” or “all of you” only when several persons are present, and when addressing only one say “you” simply, taking the trouble by a little circumlocution to in clude the absent. The same symposium discusses “you-uns” as well as ”you-all,” aud the Northern contributors make the same assertion in regard to its constant use is the singular. Very rarely have we heard this expression (it is said to flourish vigorously on the slopes of the Blue Ridge), aud are therefore not in a position to speak from personal knowledge, but we are confident that outsido observers have been misled as to the use of the term in the singular exactly as in the case of “you-all.—Macon Telegraph. Chances In the Philippines. The Associated Dress correspon dent at Manila has had something recently to say relative to the op portunities of labor in the Philip pine Islands. He says laboring men should give the islands a wide berth, as they can not Lope to compete with native laborers. Then he goes on to state that me chanics skilled in their trade can do well. The native mechanics are skillful, but work -ODly with the crudest tools, modern appli ances being almost unknown. This correspondent says there are only two blacksmiths in Manila. He says five American carriage makers with modern machinery could do as much work in a day as thirty natives. There are no less than two hundred Filipino carriage shops, and they all seem to be doing well. He thinks | Americans would have little dif ficulty iu getting control of the trade. Dr. M. A.

Mr. James Tyson, the Austra lian millionaire, rose from the position of a plowman. He com menced life as a mower at $8 a week, and died worth $25,000,(XX). All through his life he remained an industrious plowman. Poor or rich, he worked all day and every day; he never put on a white shirt, never wore any but the plainest clothes, never -owned a pair of gloves, and never ate any thing but the coarse, plain food to which in his poor days he had been accustomed. He never read, enjoyed no amusement, and sought as little intercourse with his fel low creatures as business permit ted. He thought little about money, did not give any away, and did not seok greatly to add to his store, and he never married. His one ideal was to make water flow where no water was, to cover arid soil with grass, and to fill the land with good stock. Having his whole force concentrated on that business, be succeeded mar- * velously, and bought, fenced, watered and stocked estate after estate all over Australia, took leases of thousands of square * miles, and, when he died, he was the greatest stock owner in the world, with half a million acres in freehold, and acres in leasehold 1 almost beyond counting.” What Is The Mattel - ? In 1860 the people of the Unit ed States numbered 81,000,000. In 1800 they numbered about 75,000,000. In 1860 the .total expenditures of the government were $68,000,- 000. In 1890 the total expenditures of the government are nearly $700,000,000. What do those figures mean? Why, that when the popula tion lias been multiplied two aud oue-third times iu the past forty years, the expenditures of the country have beeu multiplied nearly eleven times. That is-the way the syndicates, the trusts and the bosses are run ning the government. The people will foot the bills, however,.and when they get tired of it all they will smash the syn dicates and turn down the bosses. The New Orleans says that the fight against trusts and combines is already beginning to produce healthy results. It declares that while the great trnsts have not been destroyed, or even material ly crippled, their stocks aud se curities have greatly decreased in valne. If this be true, the battle against them is well nigh won. Make them so unprofitable that their stocks will be valueless and they are conquered. No public sentiment can be strong enough, however, to flo this. Nothing short of the strong arm of the law will conquer the trusts. The Marietta Journel solves the euigma of life in the following sensible paragraph: “If a man cheats, "you, cease to deal with him; if he is abusive, quit his company; If he slanders you take' care to live so that nobody will believe him No matter who he is or how lie misses you, the wis est way is to let him alone, for there is nothing better than this calm, cool and quiet way of deal ing with the wrongs we moot with. Lies unheeded will die; fires un fanned will die out, and quarrels neglected become so doll as the afl but extinct volcano.” THE VAItS IS HIT,, STKONOKK.

One far mer is reported to have lost five of his best animals within a short period, while others have lost one, two and sometimes two aud three head. Oue solution advanced is the feeding of too much green stuff in place of corn. At all events many fine mules have died recently, entailing great loss upon the owners at this season. “Like diamonds raindrops glisten.” Drops or Hood’s Sarsaparilla are pre cious jewels for the blood which glis ten in their use.

It is said that a California man is going to astonish the natives of France aud of other countries who will gather at Paris for the world’s fair next year, by sailing across the ocean to the French capital in a boat made from a single tree —a “dugout.” He has secured one of those wonderful California red woods, from which be can get a cut 48 feet long and 20 feet in di ameter at the small end. From this block he will dig out a boat of approximately 45 feet iu length by 15 feet beam and 10 feet draught. This craft he will give schooner rig, aud in her will sail the ocean.
