Depabi ji::nt < Aoim t i.tche,
Atlanta, Aug. 1, l8!!s.
The widely distributed rains, follow
ing the long continued drouth, have
caused some • shedding of the cotton,
and, in some instances, came too late to
rescue the corn crop, 1 ur, as a rate,
crops throughout the state are in ;• >od
condition and further cultivation utter
this date is not only unnecessary, but
.might prove actually hurtful. The
“laying by" o. the-e standard crops
should not mean a cessation of farm
activity, nor an emirs abandonment oi
Che plans so carefully formulated in the
beginning of the year. Fortunately for
Georgia the strictly “cotton farm,” ex
cept in rare instances, is a thing of the
past.
In nearly all sections of the state
there is hay to be saved, orchards and
■vineyards to be looked after, cattle and
bogs to receive the proper care, and
lastly, fall crops to be prepared for.
Another important branch of his work,
to which the average iariuer has been
so far woefully indifferent, is the de
struction of the various insect enemies,
which arc beginning to infest our fields
and depredate on our crops. To keep
these in check it has become necessary
that each individual farmer wajja
an incessant warfare on them. At
this sea'sou much may be done to des
troy their breeding places. In the
stubble fields, in the fence corners and
in many by places they will be found
entrenched, preparing for their winter
accommodation in order to be ready in
the spring to start out on their destruc
tive work with the first warm days. If
neglected now the result will be ' an as-
tonishing iucrease in numbers and in
the amount of injury to various crops.
In Tennessee in 1834 the chinch bu;-
wa* observed iu different sections of
the state, but not in numbers sufficient
to cause any alarm and no precautions
were taken to prevent their reappear
ance. Iu 189.5 a territory of nearly 600
•quare miles was literally covered by
these depredators, and the farmers in
tow section not only sustained great loss
•v Nisnwijaisr .to ttuiuong llPl
warn compelled to at oonsiaorume ex
pense destroy the hordes of bugs which
infested every psrt of their fields. Wa
need not therefore lay the flattering
unction to our souls that the season of
“laying by" is a season of entire “rest.”
While there may be a comparative let
up in the driving work necessary to the
proper management of your standard
crops there are still various farm oper
ations just as important which should
not.be "laid by.” Indeed, after nearly
40 years' experience on the farm, wa
have come to the conclusion that, for
the up to-date farmer, "laying by time"
comes only when life itself ceases.
PALL CROPS.
Because wo have failed in one or even
two trials with crimson clover wo should
not abandon the attempt to grow it. It
is certainly a most valuable adjunct to
our forage supply, besides performing
for our lands during the winter the
work which the pea crop accomplishes
in the summer, namely, storing up both
humus and nitrogen for future crops.
The general mistake in planting fall
oats and rye, two of our most impor- j
tant crops, is that they are put in too I
lute and the land is not made rich j
enough. If the seed are put in early i
and the crop forced forward by high j
manuring, the result is usually most ;
satisfactory. Iu very cold weather it is j
always the rich spots which escape. I
sometimes when the poor thin spot.- ;
are entirely killed out. The pres
ent year the spring oats were an < ntire j
failure, while the fall crop was unusu
ally fine. August is none too early ter
begin the preparations for all crops to I
bo sown in the fall. After the land is j
thoroughly broken it should be bar- l
rowed and reharrowed until smooth j
and fine. Time was when the prepara- |
tion and cultivation of our lands, though [
of the rudest and most imperfect 1
character, produced phenomenal crops, '
because the virgin soil abounded in the
elements of plant food. But today,
thoughtful farmers realize the fact that,
even in our incomparable climate,
where we can produce two or three
crops on the same land each year, the
time has passed when muscle can count
against brain. All over the state we
begin to see tho evidences of this.
BRAIN WORK.
Intelligent energy is taking tho place
of mere plodding. The farmers who
have a well defined, thoroughly studied
plan, which they follow with unfailing
pertinacity, are the men who are forg
ing to the front in successful agricult
ure. Science, by its discovery of com
plete plant foods, and by its equally im
portant findings as to the food require
ments of different crops, points out the
means, but it remains for the farmer tc
Lake hold of these means and by ju
dicious rotation of crone, thorough
preparation of the land and propel
cultivation, to promote the chemical
changes necessary^to the most profitable
development of his business. Some of
the results of such careful methods are
seen iu the yields of wheat and oats
reported to this department the present
year, larger than ever before, in some
cases almost phenomenal.
THE STANDARD BALE.
Equally important with the careful
saving and baling of our cotton is the
necessity of meeting the complaints
made by the various transportation com
panies and mills against tho different
sizes of our American bales. The loss
of space iu storing these bales, and the
generally damaged condition in which
our cotton roaches foreign markets,
have given rise to a general protest, and
ns about three-fourths of our cotton is
handled by European buyers, it is to oui
interest to meet their demands in this
resjiect.
The discriminations which may bo
made against our corton on account of
these objections may amount in the ag
gregate to an incredible sum. It has
been found after several tests that the
best size for convenience of handling
and storing is the bale made from a
press 'measuring '14 inches iu width by
•54 inches iu length. This is the size ad- j
voeatod by all the cotton growers’ asso- I
eiations. This size, 24x54, lias been
found to press to a greater density, and
after being compressed for final ship
ment tlie original bagging will entirely
cover the compressed halo and thus
much of the injury from the rough
handling of our cotton will bo pre
vented.
All this redounds to tlie interest of
the. farmer, because all the extra ex
penses from waste, of space, higher in
surance and actual wasto of cotton are
charged against his cotton iu the gen
eral account, and any method which
will reduce these expenses will add that
much to the price.
In u circular addressed to tlie ginners
of the south, issued by J. H. Sloan of
Augusta, Gii., one of the leading cotton
men of the south, he says that our cot
ton, us a rule, reaches the, European
manufacturers in such badly damaged
condition that they refuse to pays good
price for it. He has made a study of
this subject and is in a position which
gives him every opportunity of ascer
taining its true status. In his address
to the giuners he says:
We take the liberty of calling your
attention to the importance of exerting
all our efforts m favor of the adoption
of the standard size eo'.tm bale, which
is a bale made in a press b >x, measuring
on the inside 24 inches wide by o4 inches
long, and deep enough to make a bale
weighing about 500 pounds.
It is well understood that the more
cotton that can be stowed in a steamer,
the loss the ireight and consequently
the more the cotton grower will receive
for his crop. It naturally seems that
a few inches in the size of bales would
make uo difference, but a few inches
running irregularly through an ocean
steamer amounts to a great loss of space,
and in stowing'bales of irregular sizes,
they are so screwed in odd shaped spaces
as to often break, and nearly always are
torn and twisted out of shape by the
time they reach the foreign ports. The
lost siiaces also form air passages and
in ease of a fire the damage is much
greater, consequently the insurance is
higher than it should be. The same
complaints are made by the railroads
and by the mills when they put their
cotton in warehouses.
We think we have fully explained the
reasous for this change, and that it is
to your interest to do all that is in your
power to have every one make this
change by next season. As a general
rule. tb«’ ores* .boxes will hsvn ..t© be
maae smaner, euner one way or town.
This can be done with very little ex
pense by lining the iuaide with boards,
one lining on another where the size is
to be reduced several inches. Then the
follow block can bo sawn off to lit the
box. The cost of making this chaugo
in most cases will not exceed @ii.<)0.
We have received letters from a ma
jority of the giuners in our territory,
and they promise to alter their press
boxes to the standard size. We re
spectfully solicit the co-operation of all
growers and those interested in tho
cotton crop, to urge upon tho giuners
the importance of making all bales of
rbn standard size, as the success of this
movement and the benefits to be derived
from it depend upon them. Wo aro
confident that a large majority of the
ginners will make this change, but it is
necessary that the change lie as near
universal as possible.
Let farmers interest- themselves in
this, to them, vital question, and urge
upon their ginners the importance of a
uniform size for press boxes.

Washington, Aug. 8,1898.
While there is some criticism of the
terms of peace offered Spain, in answer
to its request, and w.iiich the French
ambassador acting its Spanish Minister,
lias accepted, the general irngressio;:
i>, that on the whole, the admit.istra-
tion has aquitted itself very creditably
in handling this matter as far as it has
gone. The terms require Spain to
withdraw its troops at its own expense
from Cuba and Porto Rico; io pay ali
just claims of Americans for property
destroyed in Cuba; the IT. S. expiicitv
disclaims any responsibility whatever
for bonds issued by Spain ar.d secured
by its revenues from either Cuba or
Porto Rico—a decided check to the
scheme which certain Americans have
been trying to work in behalf of the
European holders of that class of Span
ish bonds; and ti.e final disposition ol
the Philippines is lelf open to be *tt-
tled as we may see fit. One man’s
gues^it about as good as another as to
what will be the next step of the
tricky Spaniards. Any other country
might he counted upon to lollovv the
recommendations ot its accredited min
ister, but Spain cannot lie co.utili-d
upon to do anything.
Commissary General Eagan ot ice
army is out in an interview replying
■to a teller written by R. ii. Uoosevil:.
a New York lawyer, charging tint
there was either ".shameful incapacity
or inlamous dishonesty*’ in the com
missary department, and that neither
enougii, nor proper food had been fur-
iiished the men at tlie front. Kagan’.*
reply is what the boys call "hot stuff;”
he calls Roosevelt several kinds ot a
notoriety hunting liar, and says his loi
ter was "a low libellous, scandalous
villiftcation of honest men.’'
Surgeon General Sternberg admit*
that although more than 5,000 ot Get’.
Shatter's men are now down with me
fever, that lie thinks tlie worst is yet to
come. The only consoling thing about
tlie situation is the small number ot
tatalities among the fever patients, but
the disease may assume a more malig
nant type at any time.
When General Miles landed at a
Porto Rican port that was not tin* one
the administration expected him to
land at, there was considerable growl
ing in administration circles, and even
iaik of Miles being censured lor not
having obeyed orders, but its soon as
the news ot his successful occupation,
without loss of life, of much territory
including a number of towns; it was
denied that any such talk had been
indulged in. "Nothing succeeds like
success” you know. Had Miles met
with any reverses, lie would tit once
have been made a scapegoat.
R presentative Davey, cf Louisiana,
whose vigorous presentations ol tacts
acquired during a stay of one week in
tin-camp at Miami, Fla., caused tin-
war department to issue orders traits
ferring the troops from that point to
Jacksonville, does not mince words in
describing the condition ot those troops
and expressing the opinion that some
body was blatceable for the mismanage
ment which lie said had debilitated
and disheartened hundreds of the melt.
To show that he had not exaggerated
the situation, Mr. Davey pointed to the
official record of nine hundre linen on
the sick list at one time in a camp of
two brigades, calling attention to the
fact that the men being from Alabama.
Louisiana, and Texas, were practically
all immune*, so tar as climatic comb*
tions were concerned. One would sup
pose that canteens would he one of the
first things provided for soldiers in a
summer campaign, yet when Mr. Davey
arrived in camp he found that there
was only one canteen lor seven men,
and when he left, a week later, there
were halt ol tlie men still without can
teens.
It is a chesnut with whiskers on it
tc say the civil service commission is a
humbug, but in view of the fact, that
these truly good men, who draw log
salaries for professing goodness, have
just officially reduced a clerk in tin-
employ of the commission one grade,
for alleged inefficiency, and that this
same clerk as a witness before the
Senate Civil Service Committee, some
months ago, had testified to methods
in use by the commission that even a
mugwump would not call reform, it
seems necessary to say it again.
There are plenty of men in Wash
ington who make no bones of calling
the printing of Grovesner’s tissue of
misrepresentations in a belated issue of
tlie Congressional Record, after his
request for permission to print it was
refused by the House, as downright
dishonesty- ■ Secretary Kerr, ot the
Democratic Congressional campaign
committee says the committee regards
the printing of the speech, under the
circumstances, as a disgrace, and while
on the subject he addsd; “Unanimous
HEN a person buys medicine,
it is with the expectation of
getting relief from some phys
ical trouble. If Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Remedies are purchased, the hope will
be realized. They are as carefully com
pounded and as conscientiously placed
before the public as is any physician’s
prescription, having however, the ad
vantage of Dr. Miles’ experience, pro
longed study and a quarter of a cen
tury’s practice in diseases of the heart,
brain and nervous system.
Dr. Miles’ Remedies are meritorious
remedies that have been perfected
through years of study and experi
ment. If this were not true, men like
S. E. Willoughby, a resident of Clyde,
N. Y., for fifty years, forty of which
has been spent in active business,
would not write as follows:
“Three years ago I began taking
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and
have received the best of results from
it. I was troubled with extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness and a run down
condition, brought on by overwork
and business cares. I had taken a
quantity of well advertised remedies,
without finding anything that would
quiet and soothe and rest the over
taxed nervous system, until I tried
Dr. Miles’ Nervine. >It is the best
remedy lor a disarranged brain I have
ever found, and I would not be with
out it for the world. I cannot say
enough in favor of Dr. Miles’ Reme
dies. One dose before retiring, after
a hard day’s work at the store, quiets
my nerves and induces sleep like a
babe’s. I take pleasure in recommend
ing Dr. Miles’ Nervine;—in my esti
mation it is the best in the world.* I
speak from experience.”
R. MILES NERVINE togeth
er with Dr. Miles’ Nerve and
Liver Pills are scientifically
prepared remedies for indigestion and
dyspepsia. Through excessive weak
ness of the nervous supply of the vital
organs, their functions are but feebly
and imperfectly carried on. Tonics
are unable to cope with the condition,
because by stimulation the patient is
led to overtask already weakened or
gans. Dr. Miles’ Nervine restores the
true vitality of the nerve structure by
renewing the nutrition of the tissues
and by conveying the strength and
power to perform their duty, direct
to the digestive organs themselves.
Mr, Frank A. Bond, the leading
clothier and furnishing goods dealer
of Middlebury, Vt., says of Dr. Miles’
Remedies. "It gives me much pleas
ure to testify to the merits of Dr.
Miles’ Restorative Remedies. Six
months ago I was suffering from indi
gestion closely bordering on dyspepsia
together with extreme nervousness;
at times unable to control myself or
obtain necessary sleep. A friend per
suaded me to try Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and Nerve and Liver rills, and after
three or four bottles of the Nervine
one of the little pills I was fully re
stored to health, and eat and enjoy
iny food as well as I eirr did. I con
sider Dr. Miles’ Remedies the best.”
