A REMARKABLE CASE.
An Indiana Man is Saved by a Dis


cOvery.
A remarkable case has occurred in our
territory. ]. N. Berry, man about thirty
years of age, was going down rapidly. He
tried physician after physician, patent medi-
cines, home receipts-in fact, everything.
He went to q noted sanitarium and returned
no better. We all thought he was dying
with consumption, and that only few
weeks of life were left for him.
He commenced taking DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and at the same time
commenced to mend He has used about
two dozen bottles, and is still using it. He
has gained in weight, color and strength,

Nav weather and the Crops.

On May % very large section of south
srn territory was still suffering from
drought, the several slight showers OCCUR
ring during May not being sufficient to sat
urate the soil.
While one section is suffering from
drought another is being almost drowned
mt and still another finds winter lingering
uureasonably long in the slap of spring" "
giving ice and snow where there should have
been only slight frcsts.
Even in Middle Georgia the temperature
fell to As on the morning of May
4-5Oa on the preceding morning. Clear
and calm as the weather was the mean tenn
perature of May % and May "a was only CO.
Normal for that date is TT.
While only third of an inch of ram fell
in April the combined showers of May up to
May % aggregated ~ inches.
If this mnch rain had fallen at one time
in early May it would have been far more
beneficial than the five showers proved to
be. The soil was so dry these showers did
not cause the moisture to penetrate deep
enough to be of more than transient bene-
fit.
The moisture was promptly evaporated
and produced very little effect upon past
ures, and did very little good in the way Of
starting off the young crops Of cotton and
corn. A wet June is probably ahead of our
farmers.
While the rainfall for April was only a
third of an inch in Baldwin, and sixth of
an inch in Chatham-in Floyd, Gilmer,
Walker and Barlow it amounted nearly to
II inches. A considerable difference to
exist in sections Of country only 200 miles
apart.
The mean temperature for May-up to
May 25-was 7Oe, which is 50 higher than
that for May. 1885, and identical with that
of May, 1889.
Taking the month as a whole, therefore,
the weather has not been exceptional, but
go low temperature as 45o as late as May
"a with a mean as low as co. for two
days ID.
The drought proved very destructive to
the cat crop, much of it not getting high
enough to cut.

Making the Most of Land

AS the country grows older the popular
rage for accommodating large areas Of land
to be SKINNED over and exhausted becomes
less, says the American CttltiUGtor. The
present tendency in the older states, and
also in many places in the west, is to di-
vide too large farms, cultivating an manur-
ing more thoroughly. If this had been
doue from the first there would have been
no abandoned farms in eastern states.
strong as western competition has been. 1t
was impossible thai an eastern farmer
should hope to compete successfully with
the richest soil in the world by pursuing
similar methods. His only possible success
from the first lay in devoting so much labor
and manure and skill TO small pieces of
land that the bulk of large farmers on vir-
gin soil could not think of growing the kind
of crops that he was able 10 do.
So all through the eastern states hay and
grain crops are made incidental They are
not abandoned entirely, but they are grown
with some special crop with which they
will least interfere. Upon this special crop
the most of the farmers labor and skill are
concentrated. On his success or failure
with this depends the outcome OF all his
farming operations What can the farmer
do to especially increase the productive fer

Renovating Meadows.

The notion that nothing can be done to
prevent meadows from gradually failing is
a great mistake. II manure can be spared
for this purpose it will pay to top dress the
meadow. But the manure must be fine
enough to sink among the leaves and cover
the surface about the roofs. A cheaper way
to help old meadows is to harrow them with
a common light drag. 1t loosens the sur
face soil and gets up the fermentation which
develops nitrogen. This is especially the
case where the dragging is done in moist.
warm weather. Some roots of grass are
cut in dragging, but they will be speedily
replaced, and the effect will often be in hide
bound meadows to double the cut Of grass
that they would otherwise yield Every
one knows the benefit that comes to grass
land by being overplowed In spring. The
water leaves on the grass a very little fine
silt or soil from the upland. 1t may not be
very rich, often is not, but its effect is to
keep good grass for many years on such
lands. To less extent dragging the
meadow has the same effect. 1t loosens the
surface soil, muchfng the roots, and thus en-
aiding them to get much more plant food
than they could without this operation.

Will grow there after the subsoiler has been
through. The land can hardly be said to be
renovated for surface-grown crops unless a
clover crop has been grown after subsoiling.
Then with the surface literally top dressed
with manure the land will be fit to produce
anything,
1t costs good deal TO thus fit land, and
possibly more than grain or hay crops will
pay. But every four or five years grain
and clover should be put in the rotation,
and a new piece of ground be fitted in the
same manner. In this way the entire farm
will in time be brought to the condition of
highest productiveness. This, too, will vary
with locality and with the skill and business
ability Of the farmer. 1t is here that the
farmer in the east has great advantage
The larger proportion of city and village
population IN the eastern states makes a
local market for much that can only be
proftably grown near by and sold by the
producer directly to the consumer. Men
who live near cities and large villages find
it easier to purchase stable manure and to
hire labor than those remote from centers
of population. Thus they not only have
better markets, but better facilities for
growing special and profitable crops.

The fact that some kinds of weeds only
grow on rich soil, and their preference indi-
Gates fertility is we'll understood by farm
ers. The common bull thistle cannot be
grown successfully on thin, cold soil. Posi-
bly, its seed might terminate on such land,
but it could not amount to much. Plantain
and catnip are weeds that have similar pref
erence, the latter especially thriving in the
neighborhood of old buildings, and always
when plowed under making a fertile spot
The common mallows, growing in gardens
and often great nuisance there, will not
grow in fields Of only ordinary fertility. On
the other hand, mullen and ragweed grow
better on poor soil than on any other,
probably because ether plants run them out

of blind man who was very wealthy, and
who has made much of his money buying
and selling land. Driving one day with his

Are Plants DeRenerat,ng ?

The curious theory is advanced by Prof.
W. R. Lazenby of the Ohio experimental
station that cultivated plants are depenerat-
ing. To this degeneracy he ascribes the in
creased losses from blight and insect in
iuries. 20 limi ed extent this is probably
true. Defect of nutrition caused by impov-
erlshed soil exposes trees to diseases that on
well-fertilized land they escape. 1t is known
too that our climate does not develop the
heaviest weight in spring grains, so that
seed oats have to be brought to this country
from Europe every year to renew its vigor-
GUS growth. Where potatoes are grown for
a long series of years from sets the plants
inherit Less ard less vitality, and the crop
is helped by renewing varieties from the
seed ball But in the corn crop, where more
care is taken than in any other in selecting
the best ears for seed. there is a constant
tendency toward improvement. 1t
shows that this is largely matter of care
full seed selection and good farming.

FARM NOTES.

Items of Interest to the Farmer and
Gardener.
The entire failure Of fruit for several sea-
sons past in various localities mas destroyed
insects by preventing their propagation.
AS a result fruit does not get thinned, and
is not likely to except by frost, as it has
been used to. For this reason thinning fruit
will be necessary in many places where it
has not been heretofore, if crop of any
value is to be secured.

The average COW will eat about IS pounds

That cows fed on oats and pease, clover
and corn, fed green in the stable. in mid
summer, will give more milk than when
feeding on good blue grass pasture.
That a COW fed on green feed, in stable
darkened and ventilated, will gain in
weight more than she will in well-shaded
pasture.
That the COW responds as promptly to
a well>balanced ration of grain while eat
ing green feed as she does on dry feed.
