F0RA6ECR0PS THE
HOPE OF FARMERS
Best Means of Supplementing
Food Supplies.
NESBITT GIVES POINTERS
.Agricultural Commissioner on the
Course to Pursue In View of the
High Wheat Prices anil With the
Prospect of u Continuance ol‘ Such
Market Conditions.
, i Department of Aghicultuke,
Atlanta, June 1, 1S9S.
With wheat quoted at an almost un
precedented figure and prices of other
fowl crops advancing, and with the
prospect of such market conditions be
ing sustained for at least some months
to come, prudent farmers are now cust-
sbout for practical means of supple
menting their food supplies. There is
no section of the world in which a
greater variety of
FOKAUE CHOPS
may be grown than in the south, and as
a measure of safety it would be well for
Georgia farmers to put in such of these
crops as our surroundings and opportu
nities render possible. First and fore
most comes
t'ORAUE COHN AS A FODDER CROP OR FOR
- SILAGE.
■' As to the best methods of managing
this crop there are somewhat conflicting
opinions, hut these result from a mis
apprehension rather than from any real
difference in the proper plans for plant
ing, cultivating, etc. It depends upon
the purpose for which the crop is in
tended, as to which method should be
adopted. If the crop is intended for
fodder, that is, to be cut and cured, the
object is to secure* a large yield of small
and medium sized stalks, having an
abundance of leaves and little grain.
The p'onts may, theruforo, Vo ' planted
in 'ia; n w rows anil crowded in the drill.
In curing this crop the surplus moisture
is dried out and we have a nutritious
forage, which, supplemented with grain,
makes a g*)(,d and complete ration. But
in planting corn for ihc* silo, the object
is to secure a good yield of well de
veloped stalks, each one bearing at least
one well grown ear upon it. The plants
must not be crowded too closely to
gether. The rows should ho ut least is to
♦ feet apart, and the plants should stand
from 15 to '20 inches in the row. If the
plants stand closer than this the stalks
do not have room to mature sufficiently
and the consequence is watery stalks,
and the cars which form arc not well
filled with -grain. Silage niudo from
such corn us this is apt to be* very unsat
isfactory—sour and iuuutritious. From
this explanation wc see that fodder torn
should le crowded us close as the
strength of the land will admit, while
a corn crop intended for the silo should
have sufficient distance to produce a
heavy yield r f stalks and ears suffi
ciently matured to be cured into good,
sweet silage.
THE PEA CROP.
Field peas give us another crop for
forage, of which too much can: ot be
mid. Among the many advantages of
this cfcop is the fact that it call be sown
from May until .July, and also that it
can be utilized as a three-fold food, for
man, for beast and for the land. Mo
matter in what way we decide to use it
it will return with interest whatever
amount we have invested in it.
MILLET.
Millet also may be seeded at any time
from May to August, and though it re
quires richer laud and more thorough
preparation than corn or peas, it is a
good investment where forage promises
to he short. One bushel of German
millet, sown on an acre of land, well
prepared and the seed harrowed in, will
make a heavy yield, and when cured at
the Droner time, that is before the.ap.ecU
mature, will make a moat acceptable ad>
dition to onr forage supply.
SORGHUM.
Sorghum is a crop which should find
a place on every Georgia farm. It is
not affected by drouth to the ruinous
degree that our corn crop often is, and
the stalk and the grain are both ex
cellent food for cattle and hogs, besides
which there is usually a good demand
for the syrup. With the improved sys-
| tem of evaporating, now in general use,
1 the syrup has become a desirable article
of food in most farm households. Dur-
I ing the hot. season the man who is for
tunate enough to have a sorghum p^tch
is assured of green food for his stock
when every other crop is drying up,
while the cured fodder makes a nutri
tious and appetizing feed for the winter
months.
It is not too late to plant any of these
four crops—indeed, all may be planted
later than this date, and under favor
able conditions will be very satisfactory.
Though there are other crops, which
in time may supersede them, we would
advise, as we have, these four forage
crops of such well known value, and
with (he cultivation of which we are so
thoroughly familiar, that we do not
venture, except by way of experiment
on u small scale, on the culture of new
and untried crops. It is well for each
farmer to give his attention to these
new crops and to thoroughly satisfy
himself as to their merits before under
taking their culturo to any large extent.
In these days, when inquiries are
constantly being received ut this de
partment as to the value and efficiency
of certain insecticides, and when Paris
green is ee ruing into such general use.
the following
CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR PARIS GREEN,
which has been thoroughly tested at
the Ohio Experiment Station, may lie
of service in reducing the cost in cases
where large quantities are used.
. White arsenic, in a soluble form, costs
about one-third as much as Paris
green, and luilike the latter gives no
trouble in the way of settling. Paris
green does not dissolve readily and needs
constant agitation to keep it from set
tling. Here is the formula:
Dissolve 2 pounds of commercial white
arsenic and 4 pounds of carbonate of
soda (washing soda) in 2 gallons of wa
ter and use l 1 ., pints of this mixture to
50 gallons of Bordeaux mixture. This
will be found sufficient for any purpose
where a combination mixture for fun
gus and insect pests is required. As for
instance, potato blight (fungus), and
potato hugs (insect); apple scab (fun
gus), and apple worms (insect).*
The easiest way, says the bulletin, to
make the solutions is to put bot h tho
white arsenic and the carbonate.of soda
in a gallon of boiling water, keep boil
ing about 15 minutes, or until a clear
liquid is formed, and then dilute to 2
gallons.
This is the , oason when it is neces
sary to wage an unceasing warfare
against all kinds of insect and fungus
pests, and the above combination of
Bordeaux and white Arsenic is effective
destroying a large proportion of these
most, annoying and destructive enemies.
The horticulturist or fanner, indeed any
man, who looks to tuo products of the
soil as the reward of his labor, would do
well to study the diseases and insects
which are liable to attack his special
cfops anil at the first indication of their
presence use active and prompt meas
ures to prevent serious injury. Some
times a few days’ delay in using proper
remedies is fatal, more especially in the
rapidly maturing crops. Personal ob
servation in the different sections of the
.state confirm the reports of promising
crop conditions, although in some sec
tions the dry weather lias retarded the
satisfactory development of the young
plants anil cut off the oat crop.

A Desperate Woman.
Experts in insanity tell I
us that when anyone gojs ‘
insane frequently their whole nature is re-
versed. They do and say exactly the op.
posite things- to what they would do n
their sane minds A mother whose mind
breaks down under extreme nervous t-n-
stem may turn upon the one object in all
the world most precious to her—her baby.
The teruble nervous tension under which
many women live and suffer because of
some weakness or di-ease of their sex,
keeps them on the very verge of insanity.
The constant drag and drain upon the com-
plicated and delicate organism affects the
whole nervous system and works upon the
brain with fin cilttiost irresistible* nudiipss.
Thousands of suffering women have been
literally saved from t$t insane asylum bv
the timely influence of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. It is the one perfect and pos
itive specific for every deranymec.t of wo
man's special organism. It is a scientific
and permanent cure for those severe
chronic, complicated cases which doctors
usually const'er hopeless. It is the only
medicine of it kind devised by an educated
and skilled physician.
Mrs. Sarah E Rains, of Dayton. Cass Co., Mo.,
ill a letter to Dr. Pierce, writes: " it was in the
winter of that my sufferings commenced Tt
was close to my time ol' confinement I took the
grip, and that with the labor pains all went to
t»y head. I suffered dreadfully, and when I gave
birth to my little boy 1 kept getting worse. I
doctored but nothing did me any stood. ! had
nervous spasms and was delirious—Oh, no tongue
can express niv sufferings. I was advised bv a
lady to try your medicine and I did I got one
bottle of thi- ' Favorite Prescription * and one of
the 'Golden Medical Discovery.’ I had taken
twothirds of the m-edicine when it commenced
its work. I began to feel better, and still con
tinued getting better. In a short time I felt like
another woman. I gained strength and flesh. I
am now forty-one v.-ars of age This is true, and
it was your medicine that saved my life."

Commodore Schley.
At tliis writing it appears that Coin-
molore Schley has, like Lawrence.
Paul Jones, Perry, Dewey and others,
attempted to demonstrate the feasibility
ot the impossible. All the great victo
ries in the history of the American navy
have been won in that way. While we
await the full details of tie battle in
the land-locked harbor of Santiago de
Cuba we may recall the history of
Schley himself. Dewey is a Vermonter;
Schley a Marylander, for in Frederick
county, of that state, fie was born Oc
tober 9, 1839. Having been gradu-
ated at the United States Naval Acad
emy in 1800, lie went immediately to
war. He served on hoard the* Niagara
in 1860-61, was attached to the Poto
mac of the western gull squadron in
1861-62 and subsequently took part,
on board the gun boat Winona and the
sloops Mouongahela. and Richmond, in
all the engagements that led to the
capture of Port Hudson, being pro
moted lieutenant January 10, 1802.
Needed a Man in the House.
Among weddings slated for the near
tuiure is that ot a clever young lawyer
w ho has just won for his biide a charm
ing girl to whose heart he had long
laid siege, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The lawyer is not without a certain
amount of good opinion regarding him*
sell, ami particularly prides himself on
being rather a favorite among girls of
his - acquaintance. Nearly a year ago
In* first sought the hand ot the bride to
be, bin she demurred. A few months
later lie met with a second refusal, but
ueiermined to make one mire effort.
By this time the young woman had
eume to regard him with a good ileal ot
! esteem. Tliis feeling grew in warmth,
and s<>, when, a week or so ago, he
once more urged his suit, she said the
word which made him the happiest
man in town.
“And you will he mine?” he a-ked,
“Yes.”
“It seems too good to be true. M hen
shall the wedding take place?”
“I—1 don’t know.”
“There is no use in putting it off.”
“No,” she answered, “I think not.”
The young lawyer named a day pre
posterously close at Land, and after
some hesitation, his charmer agreed.
“I knew that you would realize that
you would be happier with me than
without me,” he suggested, with just
I a hint of triumph in his tone.
Perhaps the girl concluded that this j
was as good a time as any to take him
down a peg or two, for she replied very
coolh.:
•‘Yes. I do realize it now. You see,
papa is out of town on business a good
deal, so that mamma, aunty and I are \
often quite alone. 1 have thought it all
oyer and have come to the conclusion j
that it would be ever so much safer to ;
! have a man in the house all the
j time,”
The accepted lover gasped in aston
ishment for a moment, but then, seeing
a twinkle in his adored one’s eye, for
gave her on the spot. On tiie way
home, however, he voted that his fu
ture wife would be a dangerous cus
tomer in repartee.
A Perfect Woman.
The dimensions of a perfect woman,
as given bv some artists are: Five feet
five inches in height, weight 128
pounds. Arms extended should meas-
ure from tip of middle finger to tip of
middle finger, just five feet live inches
(the height.) The length of her hand
should be a tenth of that, her foot a
seventh, the diamater or her chest a
fifth. From her thighs to the ground
she should measure just the same as
from her thighs to the top of her head.
The knee should come exactly midway
between the thigh and the heel. The
distance from the elbow to the middle
finger should be the same as trom the
elbow to the middle ot the chest.
From the top of the head to the chin
should be just the length of the foot,
and the same distance between the chin
and the arm pit. A woman ot this
height should measure twenty-four
inches around tiie waist, thirty-tour
about the bust if measured under the
arms, and forty-three if measured over
them. The upper arm should measure
thirteen inches; the wrist six inches.
I he calf ot the leg should measure
fourteen and one-half inches, the thigh,
twenty-live; the ankle, eight.

SCOTT A BOWNE, Chemists, New York.
Therefore he smelt powder very early
■ in his career. He served on the \\ a-
I teree in 1864-66, quelling an insurrec-
! tion of Chinese coolies ov. ihe middle
| Chincha Islands in 1865. and later in
j the same year landing at La Union,
I San Salvador, to protect American in-
I terests during a revolution. After
wards he served as instructor at the
Naval Academy; but in 1869-72 he
was on the Asiatic station, taking part
in the capture of the Corean torts on
the Salee river after two days’ fighting,
in June, 1871. He then returned to
the Naval Academy and was promoted
commander in 1874. Two years later
lie was on the Brazil station, doing
soon work in South American waters.
He was occupied on various details for
eight years thereafter, but in 1884 he
was assigned to the command of the
Greely relief expedition, and this was
the crowning achievement of this ca
reer prior to his sailing from Hampton
Roads, a few years ago, as a commodore
in.command ot the flying squadron. In
that desperate expedition l.e cut
through 1,400 miles of ice and rescued
Greely and iiis six starving compan
ions from C'ape Sabine, in Grinnell Is
land. When he brought Greeley,
now the head of the signal service,
home, after fie had been given up as
lost and after other expeditions had
tailed, Commodore Schley became the
great hero of the day. He was duty
honored by the government, and was
promoted as radidly as possible to cap
tain and commodore.
Such a sailor is always ready to face
difficulties, and it would -be quite in
his way to view the narrow, mined
channel to the Santiago harbor, with
its protecting torts, as something to tie
overcome rather than to be carefully
avoided.
