England and France, we have seen
it stated by those who have good au
thority for their opinions, needed
more than 2.50,000 bnshels of wheat for
the current year in addition to the
home production. As the Russian,
Indian and Australian crops of wheat
are all reported to be short the two
first mentioned countries look to
America to supply their deficiences.
Our people in Georgia, and other
States in the South should grow, their
own supplies of thig almost indispen
sable article. That would be better
for them than to have to depend up
on the Western growers of this arti
cle. even should there be only a mod
erate foreign demand for it. It re
quires, but a few acres to supply the
demand of most of our Southern farm
ers, and, in the aggregate it would re
tain a considerable sum of money at
home. We were pleased to see it re
ported that many of our farmers have
sown enough whAut to meet their
wants'
Practically a good system of rota
tion enables the farmer to grow, at
littie or no expense, hig fertilizers in
the soil where they are needed. It
also more than doubles the value of
the maimrp'upplied if used intelligent
ly and judiciously.—People's Farm
and Stock Cyclopedia.
Tlie first winter of a call's life is a
hard one, but good, warm, stabling
and two quarts of oatmeal daily, in
addition to their other rations, will
be well repaid in growth and eaYly
maturity. With good feeding a heif
er should be in form to produce with
out harm her first calf before she is
two years old.
Cookies.—Two cups sugar, ono of

teaspoon soda, one-half cup cream,
roll thin ; spread the top with the
white of theegg beaten to a stiff froth,
sprinkle with sugar and press a raisin
in the center. Bakequlckly to a light
brown. For ginger snaps, add one
cup boiled cider, one teaspoon ginger,
one of cinnamon, and one of soda to
the above recipe—Mrs. N. Churchill,
—Sparta Ishmaelite.
Maublk Cakk.—Whites of four
eggs, one cup white sugar, half cup
butter, half cup sweet milk, one tea
spoon cream tartar, half teaspoon
soda. Black part: yolks of four eggs,
one cup of brown sugar, half cup bak
ing molasses, half cup butter, half cup
sour milk, one teaspoon cinnamon,
half nutiheg, one teaspoon cloves, one
teaspoon and a half of soda. Put the
blac-k and then tlie white. It is very
nice—Mary J. Carrick.—Sparta Ish
maelite.
Si’ONGK JklLY Roll.—Four eggs,
one cup and a half sugar, one table
spoon baking powder, beat the
whites separately, and the sugar and
ttie yolks together till very light, then
add part of the whites, then a cup of
flour, then beat good, then a little
more flour, then the rest of the whites
and stir easy, put it in and bake.
Spread mid roll ns quick as you can.
Jl is very good.—Sparta lsiiuinelite.

THE OLD PINE-TREE.
I1Y N. J. W. LE CATO.
There’s an old pine-tree by the broad water
shore, , , .
Whom the i spreys have nestled for
years;
Its trunk witli the Winters of ages Is hour
And its form like a spectre appears,
A boy, long ago, I lay 'neath its shade
In the clover white-blossomed and sweet,
Lulled to sleep by the rntislc the laborers
made
As they mowed down the ripe, yellow
wheat
On the hill blood the mansion so lofty and
grand,
With the quarters all lowly and plain,
The shlmmnrlng sunshine all over the land,
And the fields all waving with grain,
How fondly I dream of those scenes of m y
youth,
How Ineffable yetis the charm
Of that life full or joy, of virtue and truth
Which I spent when a boy on the farm.
The whispering tree, the rip on the shore,
The call of the fishing hawk’s mate,
The children at play by the old kltohen
door,
The cherry tree close by the gate.
There was old Undo Jim, the forenan who
led
The hands In the field evory day;
There wns Hannah, the cook, witli her red-
turbaned head;
Them was Mary, the milk-maid, so gay.
There was Katie, the maid, so buxom ami
tart;
There were brothers and sisters so dear,
There was master, austere, but kind in his
heart,
And mistress, a queen in her sphere.
All gone! Can it be I shall see them no
more-
Never hear those sweet sounds again,
Save the low, sad rip on the Broadwater
shore
And the winds in their mournful refrain?
The sedge grows rank where the boys used
to plough
And the green waving corn used to grow,
And there's many a grave In the whsatflcld
now
Where the black lusty slaves used to
mow.
The osprey comes back at the Spring's
early dawn
To his nett la the old pine tree,
But the days of my youth and the friends
that are gone,
Will they ever come back to mo?
A Terrible Fire.
What a thrill of terror passes over
us when we read the record of some
fearful devastation by Are, and yet it
is a fact that thousands are daily be
ing consumed by the inward fire of
fever, caused by consumption of the
lungs, which could be subdued by Dr.
Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery.”

A Paying Investment.
A Northern farmer went to Georgia
in search of a cheap tract of land up
on which to establish a farm. He
found one covered with a luxurious
growth of Bermuda grass, which had
been abandoned in despair by the ,
owner, a cotton planter, and was of- on foot, 4£c; pork dressed, o^c
fered him at an exceedingly low price.
He had seen baled hay from the
North in car louds at nearly every
station on 11is journey, anil conceived '
the idea that this grass would make j
excellent hay and sell at a very profi
table price. He purchased the farm, i
sent to a friend of his in New York to I
buy for him a couple of mowing ma
chines and a hay press, anil baled
the crop, which that year amounted
to over three hundred tons, and far
more than repaid his whole invest
ment. This instance certainly carries
a novel and useful hint to Southern
farmers.—Athens Southern Farmer.
Look Out! Look Out.
To the Citizens of Milledgeville : Seeing the necessity of a
first-class butcher business in this place, I have opened in the
Sawyer old stand, where I will keep constantly on hand fresh beef,
pork, sausage, pickled beef, Bologna sausage, pickled tripe and
fresh leaf lard. All orders delivered, as I shall run a free delivery
wagon. Parties having cattle and hogs to sell, will do well to see
me before selling. Will pay for good beef 4£ to op, dressed; pork
on foot, 4£c; pork dressed, 5^c. Mr. J. L. White having associated
himself with mo as salesman, will bo glad to see his old customers.

BLOOD AND MONEY.

WHY FARMERS ARE POOR.
Americas Recorder.
Col. Waddell, of Polk county, in his
response to the welcome address, hit
the nail on the head when he said the
principal reason why the farmers
were poor was beoause all they bought
was protected by legislation, and all
they sold was not protected. It is
time that farmers were awaking to
the fact that they are being systemat
ically robbed by the protective tariff.
Farmers pay more taxes in propor
tion to their wealth than any other
class, and they are entitled to’all the
protection that is afforded any other
class. That is all they ask for, and
that they should demand and enforce
the demand by refusing to vote for
any man for a legislative oflice who
is not in favor of giving them this
•protection.
As find to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, Ifi.,
says: “Having received so much benefit
Irom Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to
let suffering humanity know it. Have had
a runniugsore on my leg for eight years;
my doctors told me 1 would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated. I
used, instead, three bottles ot Electric Bit
ters and seven boxes Bucklen’s Arnica
halve, and my leg Is now sound and well.”
Electric Bitters are sold at flfty-ceuts a
bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at 25c
per box by John M. Clark.
The blood of man lias much to do
iu shaping his actions during his pil
grimage through this troublesome
world, regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket
or stored away in bank. It. is a con
ceded fact that we. appear as our
blood makes us, and the purer the
blood, the happier, healthier, prettier
and wiser we are; lienee the oft re
peated interrogatory, “how is your
blood?” With pure streams of life-
giving fluid coursing through our
veins, bounding through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical
frames, our morals become better, our
constitution stronger, our intellectual
faculties more acute and grander, and
men, women and children happier,
healthier and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the
unparalleled curative powers, and
the unmistakable proof from those
of unimpeachable character and in
tegrity, point with an unerring linger
to B. B. B.—Botanic Blood Balm—as
far the best, the cheapest, the quick
est and the grandest and most power
ful blood remedy ever before known
to mortal man, in the relief and posi
tive- cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Skin diseases, all taints of blood pois
on, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
sores, cuncers, catarrh, etc.,
B. B. B. is only about three years
old—a baby in age, a giaut in power
—but no remedy in America can make
or ever has made such a wonderful
showing In its magical powers in
curing and entirely eradicating the
above complaints, and gigantic sales
in the face of frenzied opposition and
would-be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where intro
duced are pouring in upon us, speak
ing in its loudest praise. Some say
they receive more benefit from one
bottle of B. B. B. than they have from
twenty, thirty and fifty and even one
hundred bottles of a boasted decoc
tion of inert and non-medicinul roots
and branches of common forest trees.
We hold the proof in black and white,
und we also bold the fort.
