RAIN AT LAST.
AVe enngri till >to nr.* farmers of the south
that the clouds have at last melted and
poured out their ...nteii.ts on the parched
crops. It i.s pr.'bible that every portion of
the cotton s'at'S lias b.-en blessed with
abundant rains during the past week and
the long drought has been broken till along
the line. If we mistake not. this is the
first time in a twelvemonth tiia: a "gener
al’’ rair is occurred a most r< markabln
fact. W. <• tr that it . line 100 I.it to
save the corn crops in the extreme south
ern portions of th- country at-I that the
yield of corn will fall short of the demand
for home con ntmpt on on very'm.iny farms.
Hut it is rot too lite to put m a large
area in pe orglmm, mill- :, etc., in the
section wlu-re the greatest injury has !»••• n
done, and we trust that advantage will be |

and sb teking corn we do not hesitate to

but is of but little value. We have mostly
observed it: on waste places or in old fields
In southwest Georgia and we made some
effort to cultivate it, but without success.

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, JULY IS, 1898.
standing cough is often very difficult, if not
impracticable, to cure. Apply a blister to
the throat by rubbing in some of the fol
lowing ointment: One-half ounce powdered
eantharides, two ounces of lard; mix and
rub in well, and after twenty-four hours
wash it, off and grease the tlhroat with
clean lard. Give a ball of the following:
One dram each of camphor, digitalis, calo
mel and opium. Mix into one ball, with
sirup, and give as one dose, and repeat
onee a day for a week; thcin stop a week;
then repeat another week, and so on.
Another Coughing’ Horse.
To Mrs. Fl. J). Christopher, Burneyvllle,
Indian Territory.— It Is not possible to give
just the rigl.t remedy for a cough without
knowing tUte character of the cough or its
cause. K"a<l t'he above reply to H. -\. Les
ter. It is possible that i'ii your case the
cougth is a. forerunner of heaves or broken
wind. He careful to give only clean, whole
sum" food and not much rough food, but
mostly grain. The nettles would probably
do no harm.
Paralysis of Hogs.
To H. J. t'ook, Menlo. Ga. -Prom your
description of your bogs we would say
that th'-y are. a ppro.iehing that condition
which is commonly called “down in the
loins.” It is a paralysis of the him! limbs,
and .he location of Hi" trouble is in the
spinal cord, or backbone. Give ei.'h hog
I one ounce of castor oil and one drop ol
■ •roton oil at a dose. Hollow the operation
of the above by giving eight to ten grains
iodide of potassium at a ..lose, twice a day,
in the food or water for on" w.-ek. At
the end of tile week, if not better, give
twenty to twenty-live drops of tincture of
nux vonia’.i lii a little water, tM.cc a di>,
for three w.-eks, if necessary. Rub the.
loins and back once a day with a little

from an enlargement or sweiien place be

eats hearty ami looks well. Please state If
it can be cured; state remedy.
