■yp Cotton Prospect!,
The world’s visible supply of ootton
is 1,100,000 bales, or 25 per cent, less
than it was last year. This ought to
mean that if the crop next fall is
1,100,000 bales larger than last year’s
crop, prices will be maintained. Giv
ing the sooth its percentage this
would indicate that a crop of 8,000,-
000 bales next fall would be worth as
much per poued as the 7,000,000 bale
crop of last year.
It is not at all probable, however,
that with a crop of 8,000,000 bales
cotton would command as good a price
as it brought last year. The prices of
agricultural products are steadily going
downward. There are a few excep
tional years, but as a rule a little must
be taken from the price of one year in
estimating prices that under similar
crop conditions will prevail the next.
In the south the cotton shortage was
due partly to a decreased acreage, and
partly to the unfavorable conditions
for growth. The southern farmers will
tnake a great mistake if they increase
their cotton acreage. For an average
year the acreage last year would have
produced 8,000,000 bales. An increase
of acreage this year would make a crop
of 9,000,000 or 10,000,000 bales not
improbable, and that would mean only
four or five cents a pound for cotton.
If the yield of this year’s crop is no
larger than, that of last, good prices
will prevail—as good as last year’s
prices, if not better. The smaller vis
ible snpply at time of planting ought
to give us better prices with a crop of
the same volume. A larger increase,
however, will again make the ootton
crop a loss.—Exchange.

Money for Mercer.
Mercer university is just $13,000
richer than she was a day or two ago
on account of a decision handed down
by the supreme court, affirming the
decision of the lower court in the case
of Martin and Thompson, executors,
against the trustees of Mercer univer
sity.
This university is the largest Baptist
Bchool in the south and is one of the
oldest institutes of learning in the
country. Dr. A. J. Cheney who lived
in East Point for a number of years,
died and left an estate worth about
$150,000. He was a great friend to
Mercer and stipulated in his will that
the residue of his estate after a certain
number of behests were made should
go to the college. Some trouble arose
over the division of the money, a con
test arose and the matter was taken to
the courts.

A Fine Fruit Year.
Commissioner of Agriculture Nesbitt
thinks that Georgia will yield an enor

In addition to the reports which have
come to him from all sections of the
state he has recently made a visit to
southwest Georgia, where he inspected
the crops and examined generally the
agricultural prospects for this year.
“I was much struck.” he said, “with
the fruit conditions about Albany.
The people in that part of the state
have recently gone into the business
very heavily, and I think will make a
success of it, They are awaiting very
anxiously the decision of the United
States supremo court in the case ar
gued some time ago by Attorney Gen
eral Terrell and Judge Allen Fort, re
garding the rates for fruit transporta
tion. No decision has yet been made,
and from present prospects it will be
delayed until the gathering of the crop
and its shipment.
“Crops of all kinds are in good con

there is generally a good stand of corn.

For Uniform Cotton Bales.
At a meeting of representatives of
South Atlantic cotton exchanges in
Augusta a few days ago, the matter of
uniform baling was acted upon. Reso

First—That producers, ginners and
packers use bagging weighing not less
than 2 nor more than 2 1-4 pounds to

Second—Six ties to the bale of ma

more than 50 pounds to bundle of 30,

Third—Farmers and manufacturers
urged to conform to these recommenda

To Collect an Exhibit.
As president of the Southern States
Exposition Company of Georgia, com
missioner of Agriculture Nesbitt has
entered upon the collection of objects
to be placed upon display at the
Chicago Cotton exposition, and within
a few weeks will have everything in
shape for the preparation of the big
gest display ever sent out from the
state.
The result of the convention which
met in Atlanta several days ago gave
an impetus to the movement wbioh
will cause every county in Georgia to
begin work for the Chicago show.
Commissioner Nesbitt willanuounoe
the vice presidents of the company,
which, according to a resolution pass
ed before the convention,he has power
to do. A vice president will be ap
pointed for every congressional dis
trict in the 6tate. These officers will
have general supervision of the collec
tion of exhibits from the territory over
which they preside. They will look
to the organization of the counties
and see that each one will send on rep
resentative display.
Commissioner Nesbitt has a big task
before him. He has assumed charge,
however, and will in every way pro
mote the interests of the state agricul
turally and otherwise in the collection
of the exhibit.
The work of getting fnnds in hand
for the purpose of carrying forward
the enterprise will begin immediately.
Every county in the state will be re
quested to appropriate SIOO, and every
town with more than 1,000 inhabitants
will be asked to contribute the same
amount to the representation of the
state at Chicago. From all of the
larger cities big appropriations will
come, and with these amounts a suffi
cient sum will be realized to carry out
the purposes of the exposition.
An interesting question will arise
over the attempt to take the Georgia
state exhibit which was on display at
the Cotton States and International
exposition to the Chicago fair. At a
recent session of the geological board
the question was raised ns to whether
it would be well%to take the Georgia
state exhibit on. It was discussed for
some time and finally decided that it
would not be advisable to let the ex
hibit go on.
Sinoo the convention, however, a
reversal of opinion has taken place,
and it is probable that the decision of
the board Will be reconsidered. This
display in itself will be a feature if
sent on to Chicago. It won the plaudits
of the most scientific experts at the
Cotton States and International expo
sition. Professor Yeates is now con
structing a stato museum and using
this exhibit as a nucleus.
It is the purpose of those who are in
charge of collecting the exhibit for
Chicago to secure this state exhibit.
This will probabiy be done in a few
days.
JOIN T DEBATES ARE OFF.
Judge Crisp Still Suffers from Throat
Troubles.
Son. Charles F. Crisp has cancelled
all his dates to speak in the state with
Secretary Smith for tho present.
Mr. Crisp was compolled to cancel
his engagement to meet Secretary
Smith at Griffin on account’of hoarse
ness and now all debates have been
called off and his campaign brought to
a temporary end at least.
There was a rumor afloat that the
ex-speaker was very ill and had been
stricken with heart disease. The
rumor grew as it spread until it had
Mr. Crisp almost at the point of
death. A profound sensation was
created.
But the life of the ex-speaker is in
no immediate danger. He feels, how
ever, that he needs rest and recupera
tion and has decided to discontinue
his campaign until sometime in May
at least.
Mr. Crisp complains of a pain in
his chest in the region of his heart,
which he says becomes more intense
whenever he exerts himself in the
least, but the attending pbysiciau
saju3 that there is no present indica
tion of heart disease, but told Mr.
Crisp that he would have to abandon
his speaking contest for the present.

The Quinine Trade.
Quinine extracting has undergone a
vast change within the past thirty
year. The extraordinary demand for
the drug incident to the war raised its
price for a while up to over $3 an
ounce. Two great Philadelphia firms
at that time had a monopoly of its man
ufacture.
Three firms, with New York as their
central sales places, are now engaged
in the manufacture of sulphate of qui
nine and its cognate salts. The duty
has been removed, and foreign quinine
competes in this market. Despite the
fact that foreign manufacturers can
get the need bark at their own doors,
and that American manufacturers are
compelled to buy their bark in London
or Amsterdam and pay freight to this
country, the product of the latter has
still preference among American physi
cians.
Still vast amounts of foreign quinine
find a market here. Three years ago
foreign manufacturers found them
selves overloaded with the drug, and
sought au outlet for their surplus
here. Over 3,000,000 ounces were en
tered at this port, which was an in
crease of- three-quarters of a million
ounces beyond the importations of any
previous year. It wrought much dis
turbance, and the price was hammered
down until twenty-seven cents per
ounce was touched. That was low

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FAR3I AND GARDEN.
SETTING HENS AND CHICKS.
A reader residing at Bogota, N. J.,
writes to us asking if we can enlight
en him as to the best way to fix a nest
for a setting hen, and how to keep the
nests and hens free from vermin. He
would also like to know what is the
best thing to feed the young chicks.
First, the setting hen and nest. Any
place where it is quiet and rather dark
will be suitable. There must be a way
in which the hen can leave her nest at
intervals to drink, eat and give herself
a dusting. When setting thei hen
sprinkle the nest with some Persian
insect powder. This will keep away
the lice.
How to feed the little chieks is
something that is rather hard to tell,
ns there are so manv different rules
followed out by well known and suc
cessful poultrymen.
Some, as first feed, give a bard
boiled egg crumbled up, and after one
or two days to this is added corn meal,
until at the end of the first week the
chicks find themselves depending en
tirely upon the earn meal for exist
ence.
Others vary from this in feeding al
most everything that the little ones
can be made to eat, as this furnishes a
variety, and to this variety of food
they attribute their success.
For the past few years we have had
What might be called remarkably good
success, as we have lost but a very
slight percentage of our chicks from
sickness or poor feeding. Our plan is
a very simple one and quite easy to
carry out. As soon as the ohioks break
their way through the shell we remove
them to a basket that is filled with
flannel and kept at an agreeable tem
perature by being set behind the kit
chen slove. we are suro that all
the fertile eggs have hatched we burn
both the neat and shells, and put the
old hen out in the chiokea for a
few minutes for dusting and recrea
tion. The hen and chicks are then
placed in a small house, away from
our matured poultry, and are then
given all the water and common oat
meal whioh they care to have. This is
all that is given them, and improbable
as it may seem, we Jmve never lost a
chick from bowel disease.
This manner of feeding might not
snit some, but we can hardly go back
on our past experience and do not hes
itate in recommending it.—New York
Witness,
TENDENCY TO COSTLY IMPROVEMENTS.
A noteworthy instance of the tend-*
ency of farmers to costly improve*
meuts and machinery for the purpose
of saving time that ia mostly very
cheap to them is the tuggest’ion to in
troduce the quiok-baruessiug arrange
ments used in fire engine stables in
cities, so that fifteen minutes might
be saved in the harnessing of the farm
team. Tho ingenious innovator on
old habits might justly have added to
this suggestion that in going to the
fields the farm team should gallop at
its swiftest pace, as the fire laddies
train their horses to do, to save an
other fifteen minutes. It is a slow
person who must take fifteen minutes
to harness a farm team, if tho harness
is conveniently hung ou pegs so that
all this time need not be wasted in
disentangling the traces and the lines
all tangled because tho harness was
•imply thrown on the floor in a mixed
heap to save tho time expended in
hanging it in a proper manner.
We have too many time savers now,
that actually cost many times as much
money as the time saved is worth.
Economy seems to have ran rather
wild of late, and has jumped the fences
and got away from the driver. This
is a grand virtue, doubtless, but it has
its price and value, and, like gold, it
may be bought too dearly at times.
We have often been tola of the farmer
whose little farm of thirty acres is well
tilled by means of tools and imple
ments that cost S3OOO, not to mention
a large shed in which" to keep them,
at stated times to preserve them in
good condition. With allowance for
wear and tear and the short life of
these tools and machines, and the care
and honsing of them, the whole will
easily come to the total annual outtay
of S3OO a year.
It is vary questionable if this alleged
model farmer makes so much profit
out of the investment, and if it would
not be a saving of money to him to
work his little farm with the common
tools which would not cost S6O. A
simple home-made harrow oultivator,
costing less than $3, will do qnite as
good and qhiok Work as any of the
costly weeders that are sold for several
times as much money. Sometimes it
is the practice of the makers of imple
ments to present them to well known
farmers who have the ear of the publio
as writers in the agricultural journals,
or as paid speakers, and well paid,
too, at the institutes, and the practice
of Hose to whom the machines are
presented for trial, as alleged, to vaunt
them highly and to increase the sales
of them. And, although the machined
may be excellent for their several pur
poses, yet it is unquestionable that
hundreds of farmers are induced to
buy them when they really have no
use for them, and are unable to afford
the expense. It is muoh the same in
regard to fertilizers and other things
of the farm. Of course, all this greatly
-increases expenses, without adding to
the income.—New York Times.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTE*.

Sciatic Rheumatism and Its Care,
From, the Gazette, Burlington, lowa.
The 6tory of Mr. Tabor’s nearly fatal at
tack of sciatic rheumatism Is familiar to hts
largo circle of acquaintances, but for the
benefit of others and those similarly afflicted
The Gazette has investigated the matter for
publication, Mr. Tabor is Secretary and
Treasurer for the Commercial Printing Com
pany, with offices in the Hedge Blook and
resides at 417 Basset Street, Burlington, ta.
A Gazette man sought an interview with Mr.
Tabor at his place of business to-day, and,
although he was busily engaged with im
perative duties, ho talked freely and feel
ingly on the subject of his recent severe sick
ness and subsequent wonderful cure.
“Yes,” said Mr. Tabor, “I can safely say
that I am a well man, that is, ray old trouble
with rheumatism has entirely disappeared,
but I am still taking Pink Pills and will keep
on taking them as long as I continue to grow
stronger and healthier, as 1 have been every
day since I began to use them. You will
not wonder at my profound faith in the mer
its of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple after you have heard what I have to tell
you. About one year ago I was stricken
suddenly with sciatic rheumatism aud Was
confined to my bed. It grew worse and rap
idly assumed the form of inflammatory rheu
matism. I suffered constant and acute pains
and all the tortures whioh that horrible dis
ease is capable of Inflicting. At length un
der the constant care of. a local physician I
was enabled to return to my work, but only
at intervals. Severe attacks would appear
regularly in my back and descend Into my
leg and foot, and threatened to make me a
permanent cripple. I tried various remedies
for rheumatism, but without any beneficial
results. I grew pale, weak and haggard, and
my family and friends grew alarmed at my
condition.
“About eight weeks ago my mother in
duced me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, and you know the result. Be
fore I had used one box I felt greatly re
lieved and much stronger. I continued their
use and improved rapidly. I have now taken
eight boxes and feel iike anew man and
completely cured, all of which is due to the
effieaoy of Pink Pills. They are invigorating
and thoroughly wholesome, and have helped
me in every way.”
In reply to inquiries Mr. Henry, the drug
gist, statod that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
were having a large sale, that it was particu
larly gratifying to htm to know that the cus •
tomers themselves were highly pleased with
the benefits they had derived from their use;
that many of them stated that the pills were
the only medium that had done them any
good; that they not only gave quick relief,
but permanent benefit. That the pillsdosell
and that the pills do cure is a certainty.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such a3 suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesses of Whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes only at
60 cents a box or six boxes for f 2.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who'value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which, promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 11 is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have tho genuine article,

and the system is regular, then laxa

physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed-cvervwhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
