How to choose a Doctor. Dr. Herbert C. Harris has this to say in the Medical Age: “We have read somewhere about “how to choose a wife.” Some¬ where else “how to buy a horse,” and somewhere too “how to write a letter,” or “make a garden,” or “cure the rot in sheep,”—yes, we have read “how to get rich,” and how to do everything under the sun, except how to choose a doc¬ tor. Since we can not find an ar¬ ticle on bow to choose a doctor, we will e’en write one. To be a doctor one must first be a man, and a mean man cannot be a good doctor any f more than he can be a good minister . or a good husband An<1 a readll y honesfc > lar - e aiul loving man, cannot make a poor doctor, no matter wbat liis pet patliy be. rn lo have good , l y may y ^ good sense as a man. If your doctor lacks sense about other things, you may be sure that he does also about medicine and sur gery. If the doctor’s office be untidy you may be quite certain that he will come short of giving good counsel as to health and tidiness of body. If be be clumsy in hitching his horse, you may be sure that he is not handy at surg¬ ery or midwifery. If he be a great coarse, blundering fellow— careless of dress, farmer-looking man, you may be sure that he will lack perception of those finer symptoms by which a good doc¬ tor is guided. If he slanders brother physicians who profess a different pathy, you may be sure that be is himself a quack. Good, earnest doctors are too busy to find time to slander their bretli ren or their rivals. It is the same as with lawyers, ministers, and ers. The truly good and truly ure at do not detract from the reputation of others, they are gen erousand magnanimous even to rivals. If your doctor flatters you and humors your lusts and appetites and helps you out of a bad scrape secretly,' without re proof, as if you had done no wron" distrust him. If you can hnvlmntodo 1 • 1 ?:’ , fra A rt nr o c- say iv what wha lie he would not do without the line, beware of him. Good doctois cannot be bought. Your doctor ought not to be a single man. He ouriit to be a married man, and if you see that his wife respect him and his children obey him, that is a very good sign that he may be trusted. If your doctor ters you bow to keep well, that is a good sign. You come to him with toothache, and he gives you creasote and clove oil for tbe tooth and at the same time suggests that ->'011 do not wash enough to keep well_that is a good sign. If the children like him, that is a o-ood si°m. If you find him read ing in his office that is a good sign and especially if he is a set tied, middle aged man. If he says, “I once thought so and so, but I was wrong, it is a good sign. If tbe doctor is neat and liandy in rolling pills and folding powdeis, that is to his credit. If he under stands how to bud roses, graft fc* trees, n»x strawberry poHea tor put “S lock, or n order ail these are so w v If further, meet ^ him the sign of f him quickens • v von j , aiTd you - are 0 M doctor, your confidential f .^d fi H d him, trust him.

There is in a ton of seed 25 pound of lint not taken off by our common gins worth 5c. per pound. $1.25: 37 gallons of oil at 45 cents gallon, $16.95; and 800 pounds of cake worth $8, making a ton of seed worth $25.30, showing that cotton seed are worth 25c. at the ginnery. The seed of the croj> in Georgia is therefore worth five millon dollars on the farm. We use in Georgia 136 thousand tons of guano paying one millon dol¬ lars for the ammonia in them when we have five million dollars worth of ammonia on the farm in the cotton seed. Within 40 miles of Charleston there’s nothing but phosphate rock and we have already on our land the ammonia in the cotton seed. These combined give us a good manure, The farmers should resolve never to sell another bushel of cotton seed, but press them for the oil and use them for guano and keep the immense profit in their own pockets.

There is a cow in Vienna that is said to have gone to a tree and knocked off her horns so that she could get her head under a buggy seat.

The introduction of the keen point of M.
