CONYERS, GA„ SATURDAY, JAN 18,1896.
We then had to do the I'UsilHBs
of the country, gold,
greenbacks or United lSt.at.es
treasury notes payable in coin,
and National currency, which
is money issued by National
battles based on United States
bonds in deposit.
Gold, although the standard,
now has to a great extent been
withdrawn from circulation as
a commercial medium. That
loaves the country with only
silver, silver certificates, green¬
backs and currency notes as
the medium through which
business can be conducted.
The President in his annual
message recommends that the
g Veeu baeks be retired, and we
informed that in effect it is
ra pj d jy being taken up by the
^ a nks and lll0 ney sharks with
^ (] ram the treasury of
gold so as to force more bond
issues.
If this recommendation is.
carried out the result would ne
that the currency would be
aglin contracted, leaving as
our only means of exchange
silver, silver ceriificates. which
are payable only in silver, and
the National bank notes
The withdrawal of gold and
greenbacks would reduce our
actual circulation to about one
ball: the former volume for
bonds are not and never will be
a suitable medium of exchange
in ordinary business, The in
evitable result of this contrac¬
tion would bring distress in fi¬
nancial circles and fill the land
with bankruptcy.
Is it any wonder that our
Senators, Gordon and Bacon,
all of our Representatives
( ; ongreS8) cxcepfc t wo, are
b j. nicta/ p d8bf . that, the people

FERTILIZERS.
Some Pertinent :u:;l Practical Suggoitlons
on Home ?.lixin*j.
The following article la's en from tlio
Southern Planter and written by Dr.
De Chalmot, is so renlete with valuable
information that wo would be glad if
every farmer m the state could read
udprofl , by it:
“The feasibility and desirability of
hcmo mixin « of fertilizers have been
clearly demonstrated by the stations,
The gubiished results of investigations
by stations engaged in the examination
of fertilizers leave no doubt regarding
tho fact that “from such raw materials
as are in our markets, without tho aid
milling of machinery, mixtures can bo
made on the farm, which are uniform
in quality, flue and dry, and equal in
all respects to the best ready made fer¬
tilize w.
“Tho advantages to be derived from
home mixing are so obvious that it is
hardly necessary to do more than enu¬
merate them:
“1. Reduction in Expenses. — This
is strikingly brought out in a recent
bulletin of the New Jersey station.
Home mixed fertilizers, representing a
purchase of 540 of $31.33 tons, gave an average
cost per ton at the point of
consumption. The average cost per
ton of eight special brands, selected as
the most highly concentrated of 213
brands examined, was $48.59, or a diff¬
erence of §13.14 per ton in favor of tho
home mixtures, which contained at
least $3 worth of plant food in excess
of that in the manufactured brand.
“3 A Definite Knowledge of the
Nature of the Flint Tood Supplied.
—Each ingredient can be inferior repeatedly ex¬
amine;! by the purchaser, mate¬
rials can be readily detected, and those
best adapted to special needs selected.
“3. The Preparation of Mixtures
Suited to Special Needs of Soil or
Crop.— It is self evident that an intelli¬
gent farmer, by home mixing, is better
able than any one else can lies to adapt
the composition of his fertilizers to tho
special requirements of his land as well
as of his or. >p.

est recommendation < f tho
wares
the.u to stir ly and apply tlio results of
agricultural research thus c.ontrilmting
much toward tho fixi::" of the practice
of farming on a rational sciontifl? basis.
“The time lias come when tho farmer
should discard ‘a s.V slcm which leads
irm to consider chiefly tho rival claims
of coinpetiuff manufacturers rather than
his own ncads,’ and should by soma umnixed sys¬
tem of cd-operati m, buy the
materials for iris fertilizers under their
proper names ia large quantities, and
mix dram as the object desired seems to
suggest. of station
“With the vast amount the
literature scat broadcast throughout intel¬
country, there is no reason why should

“The second point is of great iinport- in
mice. The value of the plant food
tho different commercial fortilizars_ is
vastly different. This is more especial¬ official
ly true of nitrogen, of which the
analysis only denotes tho total amount.
Tho nitrogen of nitrate of soda or of sul¬
phate of ammonia is of much moro
value as a fertilizer than that of leather

Answer 0. —It is not glanders that
your stock is suffering with but what is
call'd “irregular strangles", called s?
fr .m the swelling appearing on any
cart of the animal, and not being con¬
fined to any portion of (ho body, lioad
or logs. The tumors or swellings should
he opened, when the presence of matter
is indicated, and net before. Yon can
tell the right time by (he eas? with
which (he hair will come off by pulling,
as in (ho case of a scalded hog. When
rho hair slips easily, there is matter in
the tinner or tumors, and they should
be opened. After opening keep clean
with soap and warm water, and use
antiseptic washes. Give G dram of
hypersulphate of soda three times a
day. (live it by putting it on the
tongue of die animal as far back as
possible. Feed on nutritions and easily
digested food; bran mixed with good
bright oats being excellent diet. Prompt
treatment will usually save the sick au
mal, but neglect frequently results in
death.
Question 0. — 'When and how shall I
prune my young peach and apple troos?
Answer 0. —Tho general opinion of
successful fruit growers is. that the best
time for pruning is at the close of the
severe winter •weather, but before the
sap begins t > flow and the buds to swell.
The latter part of January I should
think would bo a snitablo time in your
section of the state. Tho object in
pruning, should be to remove all weak
branches, and such others as in their
growth would crowd and interfere with
the branches you wish to retain. Goi t
judgment, and some experience, gained
either by observation or practice, are
almost essential to successful pruning.
Pruning, done at the wrong time, or in
ignorance of what is aimed at, is apt to
result in serious injury to tho troe.
