PESCY’S MONEY. A -t>r„ two chapters fir chil'rtL: iij LoLLi'K I'otittY. CHAPTER II. ,\1r. Bennett came in. sank in¬ to hia chair and put on the warm slippers/a if it wasa rnat ter of course. Bescy didu'tcare ; Hhe didn’t do these things to he thanked for, but b)io did tbcni because nhe loved her papa dear ]v, and liked to see him happy She always looked contented when lie came, and titled down and picked up his papers. But that night her papa didn’i take up his papers at all, hut sat gazing into the glowing " coals in the grate, and two long wrinkles extended across Ids forehead, and an anxious look was on his stern, rigid face. Bescy sat silently and still and held her kittens. After awhile Mrs. Bennett came and stood by her husband’s chair, and smoothed his black saving haii from his broad business forehead. No one hut Bescy‘s mama ever <hd that. Suddenly Mr. Bennett looked up, and said : “Well, dear, I reckon the next thing will ho that you and tho chil dren will he turned into the (streets ; the mill is gone.’ -The mill gone?” Mrs. Ben nett asked excitedly, “ What will vve do, Mr. Bennett i “I’m euro I don’t know ; if 1 could have kepi the mill 1 would have been satisfied I will nevei tie happy without it.” Turning. l,e said to Bescy, “You in here, Bescy ? Run out; I’m troubled enough tonight without having you listen to all 1 have to say— go oul” Betsey got out very rap j,lly. Her Utile heart was crush¬ ed as the cruel wind will bruise tender flower and leave it a withered before a scorching sun. Hhe crept into the cold parlor, nestled up ou the sofa and d ied as if her heart would break. Hhe could never recall a time when the streets looked so lonely and deserted, which, coupled with tlltJ t'lUOWOll of sorrow in hei l,eai t, made Lev intensely miser¬ able.

She took Urn little K‘i'1 i>do her arms, laid her throbbing bead upon her shoulder, smoothed oni her nut brown curls aud quieted her enough to get the sad stoiy that was in the little girls heat t. Vida’s indignation arose at once, fur the little girl was the pet of the household, she said, “1 think papa might be kinder to you than ho i * \ ho uh cross as hu old bear tonight.” Bescy waited to hear no more, but scrambled down an l ran to tho seclusion of her own room to hide her tears, leaving Vida wondering what a queer child she was. That night when she went to bed she bad two quarters—her worldly for¬ tune—iu her closed hand; the next day she purchased a bank aud turned miser. For weeks after when Bescy was at school aud would think, of her pleasant days there, never to return, she would cry as if her heart would break One afternoon Vulaask ed Bescy What she was crying about, aud . thinking , • . - to soot lie her, said,"Papa is as cross aa an old bear.” Bat Bescy lifted her tear Stained little face, and said, “He not he , just . t-rou s cross ; s Lied,” and Vida never said again that “Papa was as cross as a bear.” Bescy‘s bank was a standing joke v ,kp in HI L\ie me familv family.

The conver¬ sation had continued some time, when suddenly that magical word, “mill.” lloated in to Bes¬ cy. This is what she heard : ‘You know I bought the mill back some time ago, and the second payment and other notes were due today, and it took ev¬ ery dollar 1 could raise without going in debt, and that I will never do.” Bescy waited to hear no more ; she could scarcely be¬ lieve what she had heard.

Summary of Hrpurt, U,c,-lv„d by Com tnl-aloner Ncliltt imrlniE Ilia Mouth. COTTON. This, tin most important of all our crops, has b-en much improved by the sunshine mid rains of the past month, but-is still short of an acreage crop ill size of plant- and date of blooming. The condition Throughout the state is goo 1, most- of the iietds being free from gra-s aud well wonted. There has been some damage to the staud from cool weather and lice, but ou flie whole the stun 1 is fair. There has been little complaint through the mouth of too much or too little rain, aud the inference is that ev¬ ery county in the state has so lar been blessed with good cropmakiug weather With everything favorable during the rest of the season Georgia should make three fourths of last year’s crop. Cons. This valuable crop prottiites well all over the state, and with a few more weeks of seasonable weather we will have enough to supply all our wants wituout buying from our sisier states. In tho lower half of the state tho crop, as a rule, is “laid by,” and the last plowing will soon be given in middle and uppor Georgia. On the bottom lauds the corn is still small, hut is growing off nicely and with a flue color. WUF-AT. VThilo but little was planted, wheat has done very well—20 to 25 bushels per acre being made by many farmers. - Little or no rust and the grain well filled out and heavy. Many dollars would be saved by the farmers of mid¬ dle aud north Georgia if they would plant at least enough wheat to supply their home wants. Tho crop has been harvested in good condition. OATS. Two sowings of fall and winter oats having been killed, there was but a small crop planted iu the spring by the discouraged farmers. Those planted, however, have generally done well aud a good crop now rewards tboss farmers W ho ventured oil pi Ml ting the second, j! ‘‘,7s ">i ^- e'i! * r ^ U m ° - r °' b ir 3 ve s t potatoes. A larger area than usual has been planted iu this "ahiable food crop, aud prospoot at present is good for a lar ge yield. It would be well if the farmers would take more care than heretomre iu saving tins crop through the cold weather.

Every section of the state lias shared in one of the most bountiful fruit crops ill t ie history of the state. Berries of ch" tn enough in price to be within the reach of all. Thu only drawback in connection with the truit crop has been the aonon* blighting of the pear trees in smith Georgia and the consequent ferions injury to that fruit. We hope that the near growers will eventually (ljM .,, v ,. r t „ e remedy, and having learned to e mrrol and destroy the blight, indti-trv will Boot regain its magnitude. STOCK. Mst of the reports indicate a consul erablo hn-r.-ase in the number of hogs in the state, with very iittle disease amount them. The condition of stock hero a.^uher* a^Scks^fciXia among hogs or red water among cattle. rIJrmG AND cvm ^ a FO0DER C0RN . Qukstion ifi fodder —Please tell me howto cn ^ a " 1 cure corn. Asswru lo —From the Farmer and p-mit Grower we take tho following excellent method: "Cut when it begins to silk and tassel. Do tliis early in the morning, if tavor able, and let it wilt in the snu till noon. If it threatens to rain, shock up and bind tightly around the top with corn stalks. If favorable weather, turn the fodder and let it lie till late in the afternoon and then shock, and be sure to bind the top, or, better, if yon have good shelter, where yon can stand it up and let it cure, do so. As little as tho refuse stuff at the sawmills will cost, it will pay anybody to, and any body can, make one. With a properly prepared rack, an immense amount can be hauled at one load. In cutting, do not cat more than you can easily taks care of each day.” ENSILAGE. Question 14.— Ploase toll me some¬ thing about ensilage. I am interested in stock rais'ng, but have little experi¬ ence in tho management of ensilage, which is said by those who have tried it to bo first class dairy stock food. Answer 14.—Ensilage has already passed its experimental stage, and has been . ccepted and adopted by many dairymen and fanners, says an ex¬ change: ‘‘It provides succulent food— a great necessity, especially for dairy stock—during the long winter, cheaper than can bo provided in any other way. It is also of great importance in the fall, as one of the laws to successful feeding is not to make sudden changes from green, succulent feed to dry feed when cattle are taken from pastures. “Ensilage bears tho same relation to dry fodder that canned fruit does to the dried. Is it any wonder that cows pre¬ fer the succulent article, or that the latter is the better substitute for juicy food and will produce more milk than an equal amount of dried cornstalks? Any one who has tried it knows the difficulty of keeping vp the flow of milk on dry feed. Good care, with early cut, well cured hay aud corn fodder, and a liberal grain ration will do a good deal, but as the winter advances tho cows will surely, though slowly, shrink ill their flow, while they lay on flesh instead Tho use of roots will prevent this shrinkage of the milk flow, but the cost of raising snol} food for stock is too great. We must either go on in tho old way, d ying off onr cows in tho most important season, or else we must make ensilage. “The on' - bar to the universal use of succulent food is prejudice The odor from eusilt *e has caused many to de¬ clare that it tainted tho milk, thereby affecting tho flavor of the butter. So widespread is this belief that many of the large milk dealers still stipulate In their contracts with the farmers that no ensilage shall bo fed. This idea doubtless arose irom the fact thatwheu ensilage was'first introduced, 15 years ago, ignorance of tho proper method of building ami filling silos caused the pro¬ duction of damaged, rotten ensilage. The prejudice still lingers, though the spread of knowledge has removed the causo. “That eusilago is a good, healthful food is shown by the fact that cows will eat it eagerly and thrive upon it. It is not iu itsjlf a completo ration. It should be fed sprinkled with meal and bran. This makes an excellent meal. At other times hay should be fed, or oats, barley, peas, etc. While ensilage should be the base, it is desirable to feed a variety, giving the cow the chauge she so much enjoys. Ensilage is the cheapest and healthiest food for stock, aud it has come to stay.” - ■ ■ ---- MlS PV&mmaUVd Ret tOq; , U\K» ' gill! ,.» yyq&Q , Qfc ... tjSugJgfe ^1)«. ground i ' nrfichcnors SppVy^ t Aa : A' A nf lS is.CDf L jf IT . i r——‘ -r 11 opc-f* dMI j |. i ; ; -W * 3x R£M£pVinltie World tor WOUNDS cr BRUI&E6 K eC L'^he ” *’-- s ^' ^ e ” i ^ ■ Ur . ralu -„ ne ceat a Go*, -- « Weak, Irritable,Tired “I Was No Good on Earth.” Dr. Milts’ Nervine strengthens <* ■» th ' down constitution, and permanently cures every kind of nervous disease. “About one, year ago liras afflicted with wmnroew, sleeplessness, Creeping sensation in my tegs, Slight palpitation of my heart, Distracting confusionof the mind, Serious toss or lapse of memory.
