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 tests, short weight, alum
or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans.

twenty bushel each, and resemble
those used by nursery men for pack

is in placing them in the basket in the
field after digging them and convey

An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Ilarrisburg, III.,
says: “Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty tc
let suffering humanity know it. Have had
a running sore on my leg for efght years;
my doctors told me I would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated. I
used, Instead, three bottles of Electric Bit

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
COTTON HARVESTER.
Farm Notes.
Mr. William Pilcher, of Sumter
county, gathered 208 bushels of corn
from five acres. Mr. Mark Perry, of
Schley, gathered seventy-two bush
els from 1£ acres.
Mr. J. D. Geise, of Brownwood,
made, this year, one hundred and
twenty-five bushels of corn on two
and a half acr-s and sixty bushels of
oats on one acre. After harvesting
the oats Mr. Geise then planted the
land with potatoes and gathered from
it one hundred buslleis of fine tubers.
On 20 acres John R. Hall, of Wash
ington county, made 280 bushels of
fine corn, all of the land having been
cultivated 12 or 14 years and the rest of
it still longer. The only fertilizer
that was used was a handful of cot
ton seed to the hill. Two ears weigh
ed over two pounds, and TO ears of
this corn would make a bushel of
ear corn. He also made a good crop
of peas on the same stand.
Mr. ,T. R. Thigpen, of Washington
county, cultivated three acres in corn
and lias gathered forty-one bushels
three pecks per acre from the land.
He also made a fine crop of peas on
the land, probably enough to pay for
expenses for cultivating the whole.
He is confident also that he will make
two bales of cotton on tw r o and a half
acres of land. If the cotton had not
been cut off by the drought, he thinks
he would have made three good
bales.
Charcoal and Lime.
E. Graham in Petaluma Argus
These two articles play a very im
portant! part in the management of
fowls, whether bred in a fancier’s yard
or on a farm. Charcoal should be
liberally fed, for no one thing is more
conducive to health than this. It
should be broken into lumps and put
where the fowls can get at it, and they
will eat it with great relish.
I have fed and seen it fed to pigs
with the very best results, and those
who were treated to it were never
troubled with, sickness or disease,
while neighboring ones were. This
helps to prove its value, not only for
swine, but for fowls. Where birds are
kept in confinement, it is a good plan
to keep a trough in a sheltered place,
full of small bits of charcoal, and the
fowls will soon learn to help them
selves. In preparing pills and pow
ders for sick fowls, I am as sure to
prepare my charcoal first as a person
starting a fire is to put the kindling in
first. I have put it in condition pow
ders for horses, and even taken it my
self with good results.
The value of lime in the shape of
white wash is well known, and those
who use it liberally are the ones who
keep their flocks healthy and cleanly.
To render whitewash more effective
in dislodging, driving away or destroy
ing lice and other parasite nuisances,
the addition of a little carbolic acid is
invaluable, for scarcely anything else
seems so distasteful to the vermin.
Air-slacked lime should be occasion
ally scattered over the floor of the
chicken house to remove all unpleas
ant and unhealthy odors, while a
little might be scattered around the
yard and hA. For material for egg
shells, oyster shells and lime, or old
plastering, is very good, and any kind
of fine brittle sea-shells, but according
to my experience there is nothing in
the world equal to old rotten fine
clam-shells.
Charleston, S. C., October 21.—
The Committee appointed by the Na
tional Cotton Planter’s association,
consisting of the state commissioner
of agriculture of Georgia and practi
cal cotton planters from Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama, accompa
nied by Col. F. C. Morehead, presi
dent of the association, witnessed the
trial of the Mason cotton planter har
vester at Sumter, S. C., yesterday,
and made an official report to-day.
The committee say they witnessed for
the larger part of the day the practi
cal operation of the harvester in gath
ering seed cotton from plants in an
open field, and that, while some little
practicable improvements are needed,
the committee were agreeably sur
prised and gratified to witness in op
eration a machine approaching so
closely to a practical, successful cot
ton harvester, and feel that they can,
with confidence, predict more cotton
planter’s machines that will in the near
future relieve him of the most dis
tasteful part and extensive item of
harvesting the cotton crop of the
South.
The commission say that the ma
chine was easily handled and gather
ed at the rate of 240 pounds of cotton
per hour from cotton plants that
would not yield more than one-tliird
of a bale of cotton to the acre, and
are satisfied that with cotton yielding
more to the acre, the amount gather
ed would increase in proportion. The
committee could discover no damage
done in the operation of the machine
to the plant in any way, either to un
open bolls, leaves or stalks, and re
port that the machine distinguished
between the open cotton and the
plant, gathering the one and leaving
the other uninjured, which, in the
opinion of the committee, had been
an insurmountable difficulty. The
committee say there was more cot
ton wasted on the ground than they
thought allowable, but at the same
time they are satisfied that much of
such waste was caused by a slight de
fect in the mechanism for bagging
the cotton and likewise the fact that
the cotton had been opened since
early in August, and after a long
drought was unduly sensitive to the
slightest touch.
It is generally conceded by farmers
that the result of continuously plant
ing the same crop on the same land
year after year is that a poorer yield is
obtained and the fertility of the land
is gradually exhausted. Mr. Daniel
Denet, in writing upon this subject i
in the New Orleans Picayune, says: |
“Bui few crops will do well year!
after year on the same land, particu-
larly on old lands that are being built I
up and restored to its earlier fertility.
Change the crops every year, break
up in the winter, deep as possible,
and cultivate the crop shallow and on
as flat a surface as possible. Neither
high corn ridges nor high potato
ridges are good. If the ground is
g lowed deep and well subsoiled and
arrowed, the subsequent cultivation
should• be just, deep enough to kill
the young and tender grass and
weeds, and keep the surface from
baking after rains. Barring off and
throwing the dirt back immediately
when plants are small and just begin
to form roots will do, but after that
harrows, light plows and light culti
vators stirring the ground from one
to two inches deep is all that is neces
sary on most lands. But in rice bot
tom lands in cane and cotton and
corn culture, where a great deal of
ditching is needed, and ev.ery water
furrow is a ditch to take off surface
water to large ditches, ridges and
deep cultivation becomes necessary.”
A well known citizen of Wetherd-
ville, Md., Mr. W. R. Graves, writes:
I suffer sometimes with acute rheuma
tism and your Salvation Oil gives me
instantaneous relief, and I recom
mend it as a sure cure for this terrible
disease.

HALL’S
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the 1 last
few years was supposed to be incura
ble. For a great many years Doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con
stitutional disease, and therefore re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure now on
the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
ful. It acts directly upon the blood
and mucus surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circular and testimonials. Address

To Prevent Potatoes from Rotting.
As soon as the potato tops begin to
die, which in early sorts takes place
by the end of July, we harvest the tu
bers. The autumn rains not having
set in, they come out of the soil clean
and right. If there has been heavy
rain we omit the digging until the
soil becomes dry enough to leave the
potatoes clean, as the rot usually be
gins first under adhering portions of
earth. The strong and cheap twenty-
five cents baskets now made are used
in gathering the potatoes, and enough
of these baskets to make a wagon
load. The use of the basket obvi
ates the necesity of handling the po
tatoes again. They are drawn into
the barn, where, on a cool side, a
slatted floor is provided, and they are
gently emptied from the basket on
this floor.
Additional protection from rot is se
cured by having the tubers perfectly
clean. A third and very important
aid is in the ventilation on the slatted
floor Here they remain two or three
months, covering them with a layer
Among the Southern bonanzas, the
North Georgia marble quarries are
taking a leading part. Within the
past three years fully a million of
dollars has been invested in marble
quarries, machinery or cutting works.
Train loads of marble are delivered in
Marietta every day. Mr. Geo. B.
Eager reports a remarkable discovery.
He says: “We are putting our dia
mond drill into the mountains in the
search of soapstone. We thought we
had struck it and bored about two
hundred feet deep. The core we
brought up was of a rich and delicate
green. We examined it carefully and
found that it was marble of exquisite
grain and color. The real verde an
tique, that is very rare and precious.
We got a core eighteen feet in length
without a flaw or flake in it. Develop
it? Of course we will. There is no
telling what it will be worth when
our machinery reaches it.” If any
one has a desire to see a specimen of
Georgia marble let him call at the
office of Mr. James U. Jackson in this
city, and inspect a solid column of
variegated marble pillar which was
received yesterday. It is beautiful,
and will give the beholder an idea of
the wonderful resources of this State.
