three doctors attending me regularly, one
for four months, one of the others one

We had two others in consultation with

and before l had three-fourths of the bot
tie taken quit wetting the bed and could

sincerely believe, and would say to all the

"Some months since, I received some of

Diveraifed AgriOulture in the South.


The inter-s state agricultural con-
yention at jackson, Tenn, last week
adopted resolutions urging south
ern farmers to plant less cotton and
to devote more attention to diver
sified agriculture. After recount
ing The prospects for very low pri
ces fer the next crop, and which,
by the way, seem to be fully borne
out by an article published in this
issue Of the Manufacturers Record,
1t is said: SIN view of these con-
ditions. so ruinous of our interests,
we appeal to the intelligence of the
cotton grower and ask him can he
pay the expense of farming and
make even bare living by selling
cotton at cents per PORpdS The
answer is already given in the neg
alive. The-next question following
upon this is what is the remedy
We answer diversified crops. Plant
one-third less cotton and more
grain and grasses. Raise hogs and
homi4y. Let cotton be surplus
crop, Instead Of producing SIX and
half million bales, make only four
and half million bales. By this
means we may realize the long
price of our labor, and at the same
time live independent of the sharks,
who profit by our losses"
1t is not so much the sharks,
Hhich term is doubtless intended
to designate spectators, that are
responsible for low prices as the
ico=-tiAuad -dulIness Ia trade, that
is now passing away, and the owe.
production of cotton The supply
Of COTTON has been in excess of the
worlds requirements, and, of course
prices have declined.
The advice to vary their crops is
what the Manufactors' Record and
all papers devoted 10 southern in
terests have persistently urged. 1t
is good advice, and, il followed, will
be of great benefit to the whole South
and yet, as we have a'edly shown
it will only he practicable to its full
extent when the manufacturing in
terests of the South have been so
developed as to create a home mar
ket for all products OF the farm.
Corn and hogs alone will not redee IN
southern agricultural interests from
their present bad financial C. ndI-
tion. They gill help it is true, but
there must be market for the Wild
est diversity of farm products
For the fruits and vegetables, the
poultry and eggs, the milk and but
ter, there must be ready sale at
rofitable figures before the eener: /
p o 'perity OF southern farmers can
be assured. It is this that has made
The farmers of Eennsylvania and
other manufacturing states so pros,
porous, and it is this, and this
alone, that will bring prosperity TO
southern farming interest. THIS
home market is already being rapid
~ developed IN the south. Manu-
featuring, aiming and rail Dad en-
terprIses are springing up all over
that section, and unless the now
rapidly growing industries are ham
pered and re stricted nv tariff re-
duction, the south will soon become
more pFospesous than the most en-
thusiastid prophets now dEeam of.

The gross value of he hardwsre
produced in the United States year
ly is $6O,OOO,OOO, and half of it Is
made in Connecticut. This total
does not include a large number OF
ARTICLES such as firearms, agricultur-
al implements, etc, which are often
sold by hardware dealers. Neither
does it include cut nails, ornamen-
tai iron work and 3 great variety
of other articles which would swell
the total far above $l00,0Q0,00C
per annum. Outside of Connecticut
the manufacture of builders hard.
ware is very widely distributed
through twenty or thirty states,
New York and Pennsylvania being
the only states in which the indus
try reaches a prodpGtiGE Of more
than $4,000, 900 per annum. In the
manufacture Of saddlery hardware
New Jersey takes the lead. The
trade in cutlery and edge tools is
often classed as a separate interest
distinct from the hardware trade.
The amount of these goods now
produced in the United States is
about $l5,000,000 per annum, but
is included in the totals given
above. The manu- actnres of Eng
land, France and Germany would
be only too glad to make so per
cent. of this $I0O,0OO,O00 of domes-
tic hardware for us instead of,being
limited to about 2 percent. as they
are at present. The census estima-
Ell that 50 per cent. OF the people
engaged in the manufacture of
hardware in the United Sta es are

Never reprimand q child in the
presence of Others. 1t may shame
and mortify him for a few times,
but he will soon become hardened
and q hardened child is about as
good as lost from the standpoint in
which you view him. And, an
other thing, it is dis 4sIrous for enc
parent to criticise the methods OF
other parents in dealing with a
child, in the presence OF the child
himself. Reserve such matters for

very much, az both be and his ia
ther. in law, Mr.. Gardner g. Hub
bard, have got rid of most of their
telephone stock at high figure,
and their money is sailed down in

last fact will be used against Prof.
Bell in the furious fight which is to
be made on him. Among the law
ers who have attacked the Bell
patent, the fercest is Senator

ton generally, in the preparation of
the soil, than does wheat; though
it demands far better treatment
at the hands of the farmer. Better
tillage and better tools mean better
crops and better profits. 1t costs
but little, if any more, to harvest an
acre of wheat yielding forty bush
els than two or three acres which
do not aggregate any more, while
there is decided saving in the cost
of preparing the land. Intensive
farming almost invariably pays,
while extensive farming usually
fails to prove profitable.
