ilgricultural jjBpartmeiit. Land plaster, it is stated by those who cultivate clover, is an excellent manure for it, especially, for the red clover. Many persons in our section are now cultivating it. In the past it was thought that it could not be cul tivated to advantage in our section, but the farmers are finding out that it can be grown with much profit in our Southern States. It grows best on dav loams that possess a reasonable fertility but by the use of ashes and gypsum almost any land will make a good crop, pr^ak up the land well after applying them. The land should be deeply broken, using a subsoil plow. The roots grow deep and if the soil is hard below, a few inches, the subsoil plowing is needed to give the roots a good chance to go deep. Those, who wish to grow it in our section, can cultivate it without a fear of failure. It is rather late now for a fall sowing as the roots might be killed by the *oid winter. It may be sown in the spring with oats. Mv liver was so fearfully disordered and I felt so feeble and languid that I scarcely took interest in anything. Tried all the so-calied remedies with out relief until I used Parker’s Tonic, which effected a permanent cure.— David Bash, Little Rock, Ark. [18 2t The great blast at Stone Mountain, which has been magnified into a sen sation, came off on the afternoon of the 2nd, and conducted itself very de cent, just like ordinarlv blasts. There was no disturbance felt, except in the immediately vicinity, and the country is still safe. What is more disagreeable to a lady than to know that her hair has not only lost its color, but is full of dandruff? Yet such was the case with mine un til I used Parker’s Hair Balsam. My hair is now black and perfectly clean and glossy.—Mrs. E. Sweeny, Chica go. * 13 2t POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness. More economical than the ordinary kinds, and cannot be sold in competition with the multitude of low test, short weight, alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans, Royal Baking Powder Co., 106 Wall St. New York. 14 It The root crops for swine should con sist of a variety; the farmer should grow not only beets and turnips for them, but parsnips and carrots also. The cheapest pork is that made by se curing rapid growth on roots and grass. _ To preserve goods from moths, do not use camphor in any' form. Pieces of tar paper laid in fur boxes and in closets are a better protection. Five cents will buy enough to equip all the packing boxes and closets of a large house for a year. More failures in transplanting come from having soil loosely packed in and among the roots any' other cause, No root can take hold of an air space. Merely tramping the soil on the sur face after the tree is set is not enough. If fine soil is w orked among the roots, and these first w'et to make it adhere, the tree will almost certainly' live. Plants as Bad as Weeds.—Many farmers plant too thickly'. In plant ing corn, for instance, every corn plant over and above the requisite number is just as bad as if it were a weed. On a small plant in a garden, where it can be worked and watered every five days, twice or three times as much corn can be made to the same space. The most remarkable story' ever told in The Constitution is that print ed that morning from Ainericus. An Ohio farm-laborer, having some idle time on his hands, asked the privilege of curing the grass in an abandoned cotton field. He worked six days, curing twenty-four tons Of bay, which, at $20 a ton, would bring him $230 for his share. He has been offer ed $120 for it on the ground. This is a lesson over which every' southern farmer should ponder.—Atlanta Con stitution. Germany and France we have seen it stated, will go more largely into the cultivation of sugar beets for the pro duction of beets for making sugar. To this conclusion they have come, because, as it is stated, they And this more profitable than other crops. Their clim&teg do not admit of the cultivation of the cane. Sugar ought to be cheaper here where we make it from the cane and the returns are so much greater than from beets. If their 65 or 70 millions of people can be supplied with sugar from beets, that, from the countries using the cane, ought to be much cheaper than it is. It is the high price of sugar that makes them go so largely into tne beet culture. Beans as Food. Washington Evening Star. The nutritive value of beans is greater than almost any other article of food in common use. Considering their richness, they are probably the cheapest food we have. In preparing beans for the table they should first be well soaked in cold water, then thrown in boiling w'ater and cooked of a medium consistency, between a fluid and a solid, neither too thick nor too thin. They require some acid when eaten, and a sufficient amount of salt to render them palatable. They may be eaten with potatoes or other vegetables which contain more starch and less albumen, rather than with too much bread or meat. OH THE WAR PATH. Indian Depredations In the Northwest—ono Hundred White Victims—A Battle Between two Tribes. The Cause of Scratches. IS New Fork Times. The disease known as scratches produced by local irritation from any eause, such as exposure to wet, mud, or filth, operating upon a disordered condition of the blood. There is a contagious form ot the disease pro duced by a parasitic fungoid growth which is spread by the spores from a diseased surface becoming attached to any wounded part of the foot. A scratch or cut by a calk on the horse’s foot may thus be infected by contact with litter or manure upon" which a diseased horse has trodden, and the disorder is olten spread in this manner in large stables or the stables of hotels and liverymen. The treatment is similar in either case. The diseased •kin should be washed with warm water and soap and bathed freely with a saturated solution of hyposul- phate of soda; or a solution of one dram of sulphate of zinc in a pint of water twice a day. An ounce of hy posulphite of soda should he given dailv for two weeks. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at John M. Clark’s Drug Store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung diseas es quickly cured. You can test it be fore buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size $1. Every bottle war ranted.

July 21st, 1885. 2 ly, Senator Vorhees, of Indiana, is men tioned as a probable democratic can didate for the presidency in 1888 Athens Banner: Mr. Clark Howell has a full and intelligent review of the factory trouble in the Sunday Con stitution. It is a (bright piece of newspaper work. Mr. Howell shows from an interview with Col. C. H. Phinizy that ninety per cent of the operatives want to return to work in the Augusta Factory, but are pre vented by agitators. Mr. Geo. W. Walts, General Agent, Freight Department, Union Pacific Railway, San Francisco, Cal., says: “I have derived much benefit from the use of Red Star Cough Cure in cases of coughs and colds. No opi ates. The sobriety and good behavior of the crowds that come to town on Saturdays are, in themselves alone, a complete vindication of prohibi tion.— Ishmaelite. Chicago, Sept. 29.—A special from Ottawa, Ont., published here this morning says: Word has been received by the department of mounted police from the Crow Creek agency of the Northwest Territory, that the Blood Indians from that reservation have gone on the war path and are devasta ting about there in revenge for the kil- ing of six of their band recently by the Gros Ventres. They left their reserva tion, so the report states, Monday morning after the war dance and went South to Hudson, N. W. T., where they came on a small settle ment of whites, some sixteen in num ber, of whom ten were women and children. These were all killed and scalped, the besieging party carrying off the scalps as trophies on poles. They then continued on their way to the Gros Ventres settlement. Along their track were many farm houses of settlers. These were all laid in ashes, and the inhabitants killed and scalp ed. Not less than one hundred whites have so far fallen victims to the red devils’ knives. Among those killed are two Roman Catholic mis sionaries at the Crow Foot Agency, whose bodies are said to have been terribly mutilated. The whites at the reservation, including the Indian agent, have been killed. After leaving the agency, about thirty miles toward the American borders, the Crow Feet met with about sixty Gros Ventres, and a desperate -fight ensued. The killed and wounded on each side can not be estimated correctly, but it is believed the Crow Feet lost nine killed and thirty wounded, while over fifty fell belonging to the Grcss Ventres tribe. One hundred and fifty ponies were captured by the attacking party as well as a large amount of clothing and ammunition. It is estimated by the department that at least $25,000 worth of property belonging to settlers is being burn ed and otherwise destroyed, while the loss of life cannot be ac curately calculated. Two detach ments of mounted police have been ordered to put down the rising, but it is expected that the whole force, some 1,500 men, will be necessary, as the Rockies and Canada Sioux will join in the uprising. Crowfoot, the Chief of the rebellious tribe, is now on his way here, and cannot, therefore, be expected to use his influence to put down the rising. Hon. P. A. Carren, Minister of the Militia, will call out a force of at least 2,000 infantry and cavelry to go to the scene of trouble and assist thejmounted police. In the meantime, until they reach the scene, hundreds may be sacrificed and any amount of property destroyed. A general rising of Indians is feared. 1836! 11 SWIFT’S SPECIFIC.! \ 11886 s s s s s s s s s s s s A REMEDY HOT FOR A DAY, BUT FOR HALF A CENTURY RELIEVING SUFFERING HUMANITY l AN INTERESTING TREATISE ON BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASES SENT FREE TO ALL APPLICANTS.
