if a man stays on it
long enough he wilt

cess of gradual
bodily decline and
loss of energy which leads finally to con
sumption is not always very rapid, but if
It isn’t stopped it will presently begin to
saw its way into the most vital part of the
body, the lungs. There would be very
little consumption if every family would
keep Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery in the house, and use it whenever feel
ing "out of sorts." It keeps the entire
body in such a high condition of health
and forcefulness that wasting diseases have
no chance to get a foot-hold. A teaspoon
ful or two before meals, in a little water,
gives the digestive organism power to as
similate the blood-making, nerve-toning,
strength - building properties of the food.
It enables the liver and excretory system
to clear the circulation of bilious poisons
and remove all waste matter from the body.
It replaces worn out tissue with hard mus
cular flesh, and changes weakness and
debility into active power and nerve force.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Vmh Growth and Vigor Taken On
Since Recent Heavy Rains.
For the past two or three weoks rains
bare been quite general over the state,
and in consequence the growing crops
have taken on fresh growth and vigor.
COTTON.
In most of the counties there has been
too much rain for this crop, and unless
there is very speedily more sunshine
and less moistnre the damage will be
very serious. Oomplaiiits are coming
in from various points of rust, black
rot, blight, shedding, etc., and all these
are aggravated by excessive rain, par
ticularly oa the light lauds of the state.
The fields are generally too wet to plow,
and grass is getting troublesome in
some localities. The crop is just at its
critical 6tage, and the next few weeks
will deeide as to the result. At this
date 1 think the outlook poor for a full
crop in Georgia. Fair weather, with
occasional moderate rains, is what the
plant needs now, but in place of these
we are having cloudy weather with
heavy rains.
CORN.
This crop has improved wonderfully
in the past few weeks, and the state is
now almost sure of a plentiful supply
of this, our most valuable grain crop.
The very early corn in South and Mid
dle Georgia has been seriously injured
by the dry weather of May and June,
and yet in many cases this corn, with a
dwarfed stalk, and looking as though it
would make nothing, has been revived,
has put out bold shoots and will make
three-fourths of a good crop. The very
early corn is but a small proportion of
the crop, and the rest is malting all that
the land aud cultivation given it renders
possible. Some reports state that cer
tain counties will make double the crop
made last year, and all report excellent
prospects. A large crop is now assured
m South and Middie Georgia, and two
formation as to grain weevils and moths.
Answer.—The granary weevil, which
is probably the* ono to which you refer,
is an indoor insect and on account of
having lost the use of its wings does
not venture out into the grain fields.
The mature female punctures the grain
with its snout and inserts an egg, from
which is hatched a white, fleshy, leg
less, larva, which feeds and develops
within' the hull. The adult weevils
also gnaw into the grain and devour the
mealy interior aud probably do as much
damage as the larva.
The Angomnois grain moth is un
doubtedly one of the most injurious in
sects that we, have in this state infect
ing the grains. It docs not confine it
self to the grain stored in cribs and bins,
bnt also attacks standing grain in the
fields. The first white, but soon red
eggs, are deposited between the rows of
grain of the ears of corn either singly
or in clusters of about two dozen, both
in the field and in tbe granary. From
these eggs are hatched, in four or five
days, minute caterpillars which burrow
into the kernels and devour tbe starchy
interior. In ubont three weeks this
caterpillar reaches maturity, enters the
chrysalis stage, and in a few days
emerges as a winged moth, the females
of which proceed to deposit eggs for an
other I rood. There are five or six
broods during one season, and they
hibernate in the grain as caterpillars.
A cheap and effective remedy for in
sects injurious to stored grain is fumi
gating with bisulphide of carbon. The
bins should be made as nearly airtight
as possible by tbe use of boards and
heavy blankets; then the liquid should
be poured into several smalt dishes dis
tributed over the grain, using from 1
to 1 to pounds for every 100 bushels of
grain. The liquid evaporates very rap
idly, and the gas being heavier than the
air desoends and permeatos the whole
mass of corn, killing all insect life with
which it conies in contact. The bin
should be kept dosed for six hours or
more, aud then the covering removed
aud the doors and ventilators opened.
Bisulphide of carbon is poisonous and
highly inflammable and fire in any shape
should not he brought near it. It, how
ever, does not injure the edible or germi
nating principles of the grain unless
used in great excess.
Hoping that this is the information
desired, I remain,

Fertilizer Terms In Use.

2. I read about "South Carolina-rock

with sulphuric acid or not. Am I right
in saving that "floats” is the finely

with sulphuric acid, not necessarily
ground so fine ?
8. Is "acid phosphate” practically
identical with the old "superphosphate

used instead of South Carolina rock?

The v/.itt rmolon crop, most of which
has lieen shipped, has proved rather dis
appointing. The crop has been abun
dant and the shipments probably an
average in the number of carloads, but
the melons have, as a rule, been small
aud the prices therefore low, leaving
but little profit for the grower. Some
fine melons are now going north, on
which the growers should realize fair
profits.
The peach crop of the state is the
largest ever grown within her borders,
and the fruit never was so free of
worms and other insects and diseases.
The mistake made by most of the grow
ers was in leaving too much fruit on the
trees, and this with want of rain in
June causes the peaches to be smaller
than nsnal. The growers have in some
cases met with much loss by inability
to obtain crates, the crate manufactu
rers being unable to supply the enor
mous demand. The growers should be
prepared for this and like emergencies
by having at hand drying and canning
plants, and when it is either impossible
or unprofitable to ship their fruit they
could then can or dry it. There should
be no waste of a product for which the
demand is so great.
Grapes are fine and abundant all over
the state and are being largely shipped
to the northern markets. The pear
crop is short, owing chiefly to blight,

as acidulated South Carolina rock, or
acid phosphate. Floats, is the natural
South Carolina rock, ground to a fine

8. The term “acid phosphate” simply
means acid phosphate of lime, and is
identical with the term superphosphate
of lime, it being immaterial from what
source the phosphoric acid is derived.—

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, bad an at
tack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy
sician and it was under his care for a
week. At this time tbe child had been
sick for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and, we
were convinced that unless it soon ob
tained relief it would not live. Cham
