Nervous Prostration.
Thia Drrad Dlaeaar la Sow Succea.fnlly
Treated. Science Believe. in Food
Rather Than humiliation.
From the Waehington, D. C., Mtar.
No more deplorable condition of the human
body can be conceived titan that of nervous
prostration, when every nerve in the system
neenu to vie with the others to make you miser
able, when even the sunshine irritates you,
when the happy prattle of the child distracts
the loving parent, when life is haunted by a
constant foreboding, when the light of life
aeerns to turn to a smoking, smouldering flame
of torture—that’s part of nervous prostration,
lutrt a phase of this many-sided disease. As
ts grasp upon you strengthens you lose per
hajet, the power to walk, to talk, to trunk,
even the power to love. Death would be wel
come, but alas ! it comes not until the cup of
suffering is full to overflowing. Such has
been the experience of Mr. W. Henrich Robb,
No. 809 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest,
whose story is best told in his own words.
“ For a long time,” said Mr. Robb, “ I suf
ftred horribly with nervous prostration, and
tried many physicians and various highly re
commended remedies without experiencing
the slightest benefit. Last fall my business
called tne to Pittsburg, Pa., and while there
my mother, who remained in Washington,
heard through a friend of some remarkable
enres made by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and
wrote recommending that I should try them.
To please my mother, and not with any great
expectations that they would do me any good,
I procured a box. At this time and for a long
time previous my condition was most deplor
able. My appetite was gone. I could not
walk alone, and had I attempted to do so
would have fallen. After J had taken the
pills I felt stronger than J had for many
months. After the first box of pills had been
used by me my appetite returned and I was
able to cat like a horse. My legs which had
aeemed to me like wooden legs, and my body
which was fast becoming in the same condition
recovered their normal condition after the use
of Pink Pills.”
In cases of this kind they act in the capacity
of a food, nourishing the nerves and creating
new blood and tissue. It is to the weakened
nerves what bread and beef are to the muscu
lar system. It supplies them all the properties
nectswary to build them up, strengthen them
and restore them to a vigorous, healthy con
dition.
This is undoubtedly the real secret of the
marvelous power of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Pale, nervous, emaciated people who take
them quickly gain a fresh, healthful color.
Their flesh and muscles liecome firm and solid.
No medicine alone will produce this result.
It requires food—blood-creating, health-giving
food, and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills supply
exactly this requirement. No better proof of
this could be offered than that diseases which
heretofore have been supposed to be incurable,
such as locomotor ataxia and paralysis suc
cumb to this wonderful remedy as readily aa
the most trifling ailments.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the ele
ments necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by
mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50.

QUERRIES ANSWERED.
Commissioner Nesbitt’s Ques
tion Box For the Month.
SOME SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.
These Include Valuable Pointe Upon Sev
eral Subjects and Are Timely la ’fttelr
Appearance—Formulae For CotnporUht
Fertilizers For the Various Crops Are
Also Given In This Issue.
TIMOTHY.
Question I.—l see in northern agri
cultural journals frequent references to
timothy as the standard grass. Does
this apply to the south, and if so, please
tell me how to manage to secure a good
crop on ordinary land ?
Answer I.—Timothy is not so well
adapted to the south as other grasses.
It does not stand dry weather as wall
nor is it as well suited for grazing.
It does, however, yield very heavy
crops under favorable conditions. As
for all grasses, the preparation of the
the land should be very thorough and
the surface well harrowed. The manur
ing should bo very heavy, unless the
land is naturally rich. Stable manure,
composted with cottonseed meal and
kainit, or acid alone, is good, or if the
land is in condition to respond to the
application, a highly ammoniated pot
ash fertilizer will produce good crops,
bow the seed in September or October,
February or March, about 15 pounds to
the acre.
GROUND BONE, DISSOLVED BONE.
Question 2.—What is the difference
between ground bone and dissolved
bone? How should each be applied and
to what crops?
Answer 2.—Finely ground bone,
when pure, contains about 22 per cent
of phosphoric acid and 4 1-2 per cent of
of ammonia. It is worth per ton more
than the dissolved bone, because the
sulphuric acid and water used to dis
solve the bone also dilute it. Either
is a fine fertilizer for all fallsown grain
and slow growing crops, because the
phosphoric acid, at first not available,
becomes gradually soluble and is then
taken up by the developing plants. For
the same reason it is excellent for grass,
grapevines or any perennial plants,
which all continue for an indefinite
period to draw nourishment from the
soil. If applied to other crops, some
form of potash should be supplied, par
ticularly on sandy lands.
From the United States experiment
station record No. 7, 1895, we find that:
‘•The results indicated that in soils
net entirely devoid of phosphoric acid
and not of extremely abnormal quali
ties, both steamed and unsteaiued bone
of proper fineness produced very favor
able results, even when applied in the
spring, provided the soil was not defi
cient in moisture. In soils deficient in
water very different results were ob
tained with all kinds of bone meal, but
it appeared that the results were more
unsatisfactory the coarser the bone.”
It can be further said of ground bone
that it benefits all crops; can be applied
at all seasons of the year; will not in
jure any tree or plant; is lasting in its
effects and is the cheapest form of fer
tilizer, in proportion to the benefits it
imparts, that can be used.
lucerne.
Question 3.—How shall I prepare the
land, and when shall I sow lucerne?
What fertilizer is best?
Answer 3.—The land should be made
very rich by well rotted stable manure
or fertilizers, and put in as fine tilth as
for turnips, if necessary, plowing arid
harrowing repeatedly. Sow in narrow
drills in September or October and cul
tivate. It is important to keep the crop
free from weeds or grass. Ten or 13
pounds of seed will plant one acre.
TERRACING.
Question 4.—1 notice that you speak
of terracing as all important in build
ing up our worn lands. Can you give
me a few points as to how the work
should be done ?■ Do not hillside ditch
es answer the same purpose?
Answer 4.—Hillside ditches have
been very aptly termed “highway rob-
I bets,” in that they have swept away
much of the fertility of our lands
! which might otherwise have been pre
served. The same difference between
terraces and ditches is that the first
gather the washings from higher pointe
aud hold them, with their accumula
tion of rich deposits, while the latter
gather and carry them off. During the
first year or two after land is terraced
the water will occasionally break over
during heavy rains, but if the founda
tion has been laid with a good 1-horse or
2 horse turning plow, so as to measure
about three feet across at the base and
firmed up with hoes where necessary,
we can caculate on eveutuallly securing
a compact firm terrace. The boraks
can be strengthened as they develop,
and once the terraces are well set all
water that goes over the bank will flow
in a thin, broad sheet, leaving its val
uable burden of plant food on or above
the terrace. A good terracing level is
absolutely essential—without it we can
not do accurate work—and will cost
from $5 00 to $lO. (X). Full instructions
for managing it can be obtained from
the maker or seller.
Begin at the highest part of the field
and let the lines be level, following of
course the guidance of the instrument.
At each position of the target set a peg,
avoiding as much as possible sharp
curves. Run a plow along the line of
pegs to mark it and then drop down to
the next terrace, which should be 8
feet lower in a perpendicular line than
the first. Where the land is hilly the
terraces will of course be nearer to
gether than on more level slopes. Run
the line and lay off as before. Do not ex
pect the terraces to be parallel, as this
rarely happens. Continue until the
whole field is gone over. When ready
to make the terraces throw two furrows
with a goad 2-horse plow on the lines
already laid off, going over the work
with hoes to right up any breaks or
places where the plow has not given a
satisfactory bank. As mentioned above,
this bank should measure 3 feet across
at the bottom. If the banks are en
riched and sowed in grass—orchard is
the best variety—in two or three years
they will become so compact that they
cannot be broken. For this permanent
benefit we can afford to submit to the
temporary inconvenience and annoy
ance of having to repair the breaks as
they occur after each rain, which inev
itably happens during the first years
thaka system of terracing is under
taken.
CELERY.
Question s.—Please tell me some
thing about the second crop of celery—
how to raise it for home or market.
Answer 5. The market gardens
around New York plant celery as a sec
ond crop, following cabbages, onions,
beets or potatoes. And we may do the
same in Georgia either in the market
garden or private kitchen garden. Ma
nure the ground very heavily in the
spring for onions, cabbage or beets, and
as soon as they are removed, plow
or spade the ground and make it fine
and mellow to receive your celery plants.
Don’t forget that it is a waste of time
and labor to attempt to grow celery on
poor or badly prepared soil.
The seed should be sown from the
middle to the last of March in rich
ground and in drills 12 inches apart.
Radish seed are sonitimes sown sparing
ly in the drills with the celery seed.
The radish will sprout in a few days,
showing the line of the rows, and the
hoe can then be used between the rows
before the weeds and grass get a start.
When the plants are three to four in
ches high, cut off the tops, and repeat
this a second time as the plants contin
ue to grow; this will cause a stocky
growth and make them more uniform
in size. When you have dug your po
tatoes, or housed or sold off your cab
bage or onions, prepare the land from
which you took them for celery by deep
plowing or spading, first applying a
liberal dose »f well rotted stable man
ure or commercial fertilizer. Lay off
rows from three to four feet apart and
place a plant every six inches in the
row. In taking the plants from the seed
bed, try to get them of uniform size so
that the growth afterward may be about
the same. Both roots and leaves should
be trimmed before setting out, leaving
the roots about 2 1-2 inches long, and
the leaves cut off even with the top of
the heart. It is best to set out plants
during a wet cloudy spell, and should
the weather turn very hot and dry just
after planting, they should be protected
from the sun for a few days. During
the early stages of growth, the ground
should be frequently worked—by the
plow in field culture—and by the hoe
or rake in garden culture. When the
leaves get 12 to 15 inches long the earth
on either side of the row should be
loosened to the depth of 2 or 3 inches.
Then the workman, gathering the leaves
of each plant in one hand, holds them
in position while he presses the loosened
earth around the stalk with the other.
When this is finished the earth is
thrown from each side towards the cel
ery with a plow. In the family garden
a hoe should be used for this purpose.
As fast as the celery grows the earth is
drawn to the plants with hoes, until
the time for bleaching arrives. From
the first to the middle of October celery
should be banked in order to bleach it.
To do this, commence about a foot from
the plants, and throw up with a spade
a bank of earth, covering all the celery
except a few inches of the ends of the
longest leaves. A few weeks in this
condition will bleach it and it will then
be ready for use.
This system is greatly preferred to
the old fashioned and troublesome plan
of digging deep trenches and manur
ing these. The larger and coarser vari
eties are almost entirely discarded at
the south, being grown mostly in the
northwest where they are crisp and sol
id. For those who still prefer the large
kinds the Mammoth Solid is perhaps
best of the smaller and more popular
rarities. There are the Boston Market,
Golden Dwarf, White Plume and others
which can be procured at any first class
seed store.
water in green crops.
Question 6. Please tell me the
amount of water in the following green
crops: Grass, green corn, rye and
clover.
Answer 6. —Professor Stewart gives
the following:
Grass, just before blooming, 75.
Green corn, 84.
Green rye, 76.
Red clover in blossom, 80.
Question 7. Please give me the
analysis of pea meal.
Answer 7.—We cannot give an ana
lysis which will apply to all pea meal,
because its quality is according to the
variety and the kind of soil on which
it was grown. About 3to 3 1-2 per cent
nitrogen, 3 4 to 1 1-4 phosphoric acid
and 1 to 1 3 4 potash will give a fair

average of the plant food of ordinary
pea meal.
Question B.—What is the difference
between fresh and well rotted manure?
I mean how much more available is the
latter ?
Answer B.—Thoroughly decomposed
stable manure is about 20 per cent more
soluble than fresh manure—the ammo
nia and phosphoric acid of the former
being especially available. Another
advantage is that in the process of de
composition and fermentation many
weed seeds, which otherwise would
prove harmful, are destroyed.
Question 9.—What do you think of
cottonseed meal as a food for cows ?
Answer 9.—We have used cottonseed
meal combined with hulls and other
feed stuffs, with the greatest advant
age.
From a bulletin of the Tennessee ex
periment station, we find that cotton
seed meal is the most valuable of all
the so-called waste products used as
feed stuffs. It can be safely fed for
long periods as much as five pounds per
day per 1,000 pounds live weight, in the
ration for cows giving milk. As the
cow approaches the time for calving,
the proportion of cottonseed meal should
not exceed three pounds daily.
We do not think it advisable to feed
more than five pounds of cottonseed
meal daily to milch cows. For butter
making it is not advisable to exceed
three pounds daily. Many years of
close observation elsewhere, as well as
the results of recent experiments, in
duce the writer to believe that it is not
safe to feed cottonseed meal as the sole
addition to the daily allowance of coarse
fodders, particularly during the three
months preceding and the month after
calving.
Cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls
should be far more extensively used as
cattle food. These products of the cot
ton fields of the south will enable the
farmers to maintain or to restore the
fertility of their lands at the least cost
of manures. By their proper use it is
easy to obtain the highest economic
value of the coarse fodders which are
too often suffered to go entirely to
waste, or if used at all scarcely pay for
the labor of hauling them.
The following are safe rations for a
dairy cow of 1,000 pounds live weight,
and are made up in great part of cot
tonseed products:
1. Fifteen pounds cottonseed hulls,
five pounds of cottonseed meal, and six
pounds corn meal.
2. Fifteen pounds cottonseed hulls,
four pounds of cottonseed meal, five
pounds wheat bran, two pounds of corn
meal.
3. Fifteen pounds cottonseed, eight
pounds clover hay, five pounds cotton
seed meal, two pounds corn meal.
4. Fifteen pounds cottonseed hulls,
eight pounds corn fodder, three pounds
cottonseed meal, three pounds wheat
bran.
5. Fifteen pounds cottonseed hulls,
eight pounds corn tops, five pounds cot
tonseed meal.
6. Fifteen pounds cottonseed hulls,
six pounds clover hay, ten pounds of
corn and oats, equal weights of each,
mixed and ground together.
Question 10.—I have a young mule
5 years old that was, until three weeks
ago, in a thrifty condition. At that
time her appetite began to fail and she
seemed to be stiff all over. She would
raise her head like she was choking.
At present she is not so stiff, but unable
to swallow and is swollen under the
throat and what she eats comes back
through her nostrils; it also runs a lit
tle mucous, yellowish and inclined to
be watery. The mule has been with a
horse that had something like distim
per and the horse died from the dis
ease, and not knowing the symptons of
glanders decided to write you, so please
give me symptoms of glanders, and if
this is not glanders any information aa
to what it is.
Answer 10.—From the description of
said mule I think it is a case of dis
temper, caused from being in contact
with other stock affected likewise, be
ing due to a germ and contagious. The
swelling under the thro at will termi
nate into an abscess.
The treatment is poultice the swell
ing and when soft use the knife, open
up thoroughly and in a few days the
mule will be all right.
The stiffness is only a symptom of
the disease.
It might possibly be lockjaw, but 1
think not.

A LUNATIC
Burns a Bridge on the Chattanoo
ga Southern.
Blue Pond, Ala., Aug.—Yester
day afternoon a demented white
man was detected in the act of fir
ing a trestle on the Chattanooga
Southern, near this place.
An investigation was made and
it was discovered that the maniac
had succeeded in burning the rail
road bridge over Little river. Run
ners were sent along the track and
an approaching train was flagged
down.
The maniac’s name is J. A.
Smith. He was a fairly w’ell-to
do farmer of this county until his
dementia set in a few days ago.
By prompt action on the part
of those who discovered that the
bridge had been burned no fatali
ties resulted from wreckage. All
trains over the road were delayed
several hours until the damage
could be repaired.

Home and Abroad,
It is the duty of everyone,
whether at home or travelling for
pleasure or business, to equip him
self with the remedy which will
keep up strength and prevent ill
ness, and cure such ills as are lia
ble to come upon all in everyday
life. For instance, Hood’s Sarsap
arilla as a general tonic, and to
keep the blood pure and less liable
to absorb the germs of disease,
will be well nigh invaluable.
Change of drinking water often
causes serious trouble, especially
if one has been used to spring wa
ter in the country. From a few
drops to a teaspoonful of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla in a tumbler of water
will prevent the water having any
injurious effect.

disturdance, no loss of sleep, but

A Piece of Sharp Practice.
One of the shrewdest pieces of
law practice that ever occurred in
north Georgia is reported as hap
pening some time ago up near
Crawfish Springs. There was a
negro there who became obstreper
ous and was guilty of some misde
meanor which necessitated a course
of correction.
The farmer who was the aggriev
ed party, secured the services of a
neighbor, and they took the negro
down and buckled him across a
log and gave him a good dressing
down. The negro reported the
matter to the grand jury of Catoo
sa county and a true bill was
found. The negro was very speci
fic in his description of the place,
and before the trial counsel for
the defense induced him to go and
show the exact, log where he re
ceived his punishment. He did
so, when lo and behold the log was
in Walker county. This nol pres
sed the case in Catoosa, and it was
dropped. The defendants had
picked up the log and carried it a
few steps across the line.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
There is not an atom of conceit
in our composition, but wo would
be less than human if we did not
feel a bit proud over such occa
sions as last Wednesday evening,
when the brass band turned out to
serenade the editor and the pro
prietor of the Kicker, (who is our
self), the postmaster (who is our
self), the mayor of this town (who
is ourself), the senator from this
district (who is ourself), and kept
up the music for half an hour be
fore taking advantage of our offer
to come in and have a drink. Six
years ago we struck this town with
tender feet and not a dollar in our
pocket, and were obliged to sleep
under a wagon on the public square
on the first night. For the first
six months anybody could kick us
and get away unrebuked. Fortlie
first fifty-nine days we did not
have a change of shirts, and it was
ten months before we owned a gun.
We thought of all these things as
the band played “After The Ball,”
and we looked like a Roman sena
tor as we stood on the front steps
of the Kicker office waiting for the
boys to blow out their blow r and
take a nip with us. We can be
forgiven. Its a great country for
a man with ambition and persever
ance.
At 11 o’clock on Sunday night
a critter whose identity we have
yet to establish began pounding on
the front door of the Kicker of
fice. We have our bedroom in the
office and were quickly aroused,
supposing it to be a summons
from the secretary of the vigilance
committee. As we opened the
door the man demanded that we
go to the postoffice, and see if there
was any mail for him. As post
master of this town we are willing
to do all in our power to accommo
date the public and excite and
maintain a brotherly feeling for
the postmaster-general, but after
holding the office open for six
hours on Sunday we refused to be
turned out at that hour of the
night. When we stated the case
to the unknown he whipped out a
big knife and started in to carve
us up. We fortunately had a shot
gun at hand and used it. It was
loaded only with fine bird shot,
but from the way the critter am
bled off we feel quite sure he was
disgusted with the contents. We
wish to say right here and now
that after we get to bed and espec
ially on Sunday nights, and more’
especially after 11 o’clock on Sun
day nights, we are not going to
turn out, dress and walk five blocks
to the postoffice to accommodate
any one. We will get up to attend
a lynching or a conflagration, but
the chap who arouses us for any
other reason must beware of re
sults.

A
Tyndall, the Mind Reader, Propo
ses To Be Buried For Ten Days.
Santa Barbara, Cal., Aug. 7. —
Alexander Mclver Tyndall, the
mind reader proposes to undertake
a feat never before attempted in
this country. This is to be buried
alive for ten days, at the expira
tion of which time lie promises to
rise from the grave. Tyndall’s
proposal is to be placed in a her
metically sealed casket, beirgfirst
covered with clarified butter, caT
ed by East Indians “gee,” sealing
all the pores of the body, eyes,
mouth, ears and nostrils. This
work is to be performed under the
eyes of prominent physicians.
Tyndall is especially anxious to
secure the sepervision of Dr. Hall.
The casket is then to be placed
six feet under ground, covered with
earth, and grass seed is to be plan
ted and permitted to spring above.
Trusted men are to keep guard
over it day and night. At the ex
piration of the lenth day it shall
be disinterred and opened in the
presence of physicians who had
witnessed the interment. The ex
periment is modeled after the feats
performed by an East Indian sect.
The proprietors of a local hotel
have accepted the proposition and
intend making Santa Barbara the
center of the scientific attention
of the world during the period of
Professor Tyndall’s burial. They
will see that excursions are run to
bring people from the Atlantic
coast, as well as from the northern
states. A similar proposal was
made by Tyndall 0 the world’s
fair managers, but it was declined.
A local undertaker offers to give
$330 for the coflin.

Not In Boston.
According to a Liverpool paper,
a young man wus arrested recently
in that city charged with kissing
a woman against her will in the
public highway. The prisoner
pleaded that she was in bloomers
and that he mistook her for along
lost brother. The magistrate dis
charged him, and it is said that
the feminine demand for bicycles
and bloomers cannot naw be sup
plied by the local tradesmen. Such
thingsjiever happen m Boston.—

For more than a hundred years
the Shakers have been studying
the remedial properties of plants.
They have made many discoveries,
but their greatest achievement was
made last year. It is a cordial
that contains already digested
food and is a digester of food. It
is effective in removing distress
after eating, and creates an appe
tite for more food so that eating
becomes a pleasure. Palo, thin
people become plump and healthy
under its use. It arrests the wast
ing of consumption.
There never has been such a step
forward in the cure of indigestion
as this Shaker Cordial. Your
druggist will be glad to give you a
little book descriptive of the pro
duct.

Peaches at Plainville.
Just above Rome on the .South
ern is the little town of Plainville.
Heretofore it has born the humble
reputation of a country village in
the midst of a fertile farming
country. But the present season
is changing all that, and itisloom
ing up into prominence as a ship
ping point for peaches.
Four or five years ago Miller &
Son planted extensive orchards
there and now they are shipping
carload after carload to Cincinna
ti, Chicago and other points. The
crop is simply "enormous and the
peaches of the finest appearance
and flavor, and Plainville peaches
command a good price in the mar
ket.
