The silverites in Atlanta and Macon
are trying to make political capital out of
the refusal of Secretary Smith to divide
time with Col. Livingston at Macon. Mr..
Smith would have been guilty Of the SUI
premest folly if ne had accepted the
proposition. Those who were instrumental
in having the proposition made were
pretty well satisfied. doubtless, that it
would not be accepted. They hoped, prob
ably, if it was accepted, to spoil the eff
feet of Mr.. Smiths speech by bringing on
row of some sort, and if it was rejected
they would be in a position to say that
Mr.. Smith was afraid to meet Col LIv-
ingston. They must have known that Mr.
Smith and Col Livingston are not on
friendly terms. Under the circumst ances
it was hardly courteous to Mr.. Smith to
propose that he should divide time with
Col. Livingston.
But why should Mr. Smith have divided
time with Col. Livingston? Nobody ac-
cuses Mr.. Livingston of being well ac-
quainted with the silver question. He is
a good stump speaker, however, and can
! interest a crowd that wants to be amused
rather than instructed. He is noted for
| INDUCING in personalities of character
calculated to cause trouble, and doubtless
he would have attempted to turn the
discussion into an exchange of personal
tiles if the joint debate proposition had
been accepted.
What Mr.. Smith desired to do was to
/ discuss the silver question seriously-to
/ present facts and arguments to the peo-
/ pie of Bibb county of a character to con-
/ vince them that it is to their interest to
have sound currency. He did not want
to waste time in exchanging PERSONAL
ties with Col Livingston. He would have
/ been forced to defend himself in a Joint
debate with him, and to have defended
himself successfully in the estimation of
a mixed crowd he would have been com
PEELED to answer Col. Livingston's per
sonaHties with like personalities. He
acted wisely in declining to have a dis
cussion of that sort.
If the silverites wanted a joint discus.
sion why didn't they send Mr.. Crisp tc
meet Mr.. Smith? He seems to have Sc
far recovered his health as to be ablt
again to make speeches. Mr. Smith
would not have refused to meet him ir
joint discussion. If the silverites are Sc
anxious for joint discussions why DOM
they request Mr.. Crisp to carry out his
agreement with Mr.. duBignon? There
seems to be quite general desire for tn,
two candidates to meet on the stump.

Milk as Food.

Milk is a substitute chat is complex
in it's composition, says Prof. Robert.
of Toronto. All of the ingredients. ex.
cept the fat, are 10 solution; the fat is
in suspension, and when the milk
stands for any leng IN os time these lit.
tie globules of fat rise to the surface
and form what is known as crei m. A
drop of milk contains 5000. 900 globules
of fat. Food, to be healthy. and nu-
tritious, mnst have the correct proper

er and much better food. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that a man who works hard
must eat rich food. Three quarters of
a pound of teef, costing ten cents. one
qrart of milk, costing five cents, and
five ounces of wheat. costing three
quarters of cent, are equal In nour;sh-
ing material. One pound of cheese is
equal to two and half pounds of beef.
There is no better diet TO work on than
cheese and potatoes, and there is no
iiet mere digestible. Wheat bread is
not a well-balanced food, bnt bread
well buttered is very n htritious. SKIM
milk aud oatmeal are vhluable foods.

Sassafras Oil Knocks Them.

Yes sir, oil of sassafras will kill lice
on old and young chickens, says a
writer in the Farmers Voice. All who
are raising chickens know that the
greatest trouble with chicks is the large
grey head louise which kills more chicks
than any disease they are afflicted
with. For little chicks the sassafras
oil beats any patent medicine yet in
vented. After finding that the use of
the oil in the food will kill the pests on
grown chickens, | tried it on chicks.
Whenever set hen, give her every
third day 10 drops of oil in little bran
or meal until she is through sitting.
AS soon as the chicks are two DAYS old.
give the hen and chicks fourth of
a teaspoonful twice a week. have at
present 90 chicks FIVE weeks old and
are the finest looking lot ever had.
prefer sassafras oil over everything
have ever tried for lice for the follow
ing reasons: First, it is no trouble to
use it, IS it is given in the food. Sec
ond, there is no danger of killing the
chicks with it. Third, there is no
of the chicks, as in lard and
other cures. The suggestion OF using
the oil in the kerosene emulsion is ex-
cellent' | tiled it as soon as | found it

Contentment Better Than a
Bank Account.

III is not fact that farmers grumblt
at present conditions more than othe,
people. 1t would be strange if the,
did. Look atthe ranks of labor. how
they agitate, and lade the atmospbere
OF their places OF meeting with male
dictions; SO do the merchants, the man.
ufacturers and the miners-all excep,
the few who reap rich harvests from
existing conditions. If farmers did
not avail themselves of their privilege
to kick against the pricks,' it would
argue an almost superhuman humility
But farmers are not made that way
When things 60 wrong, they say so;
when they observe conditions that ap-
parently rob them for the benefit OF
others, they are inclined to tell it in
Gatn or Askelon, or anywhere else.
they would not be human If they did
not. When we eliminate a few chronic
pessimists, and consider only the fla, m
err in his normal condition ompared
with others who labor, he is as cheer
full as spring morning. and as well
contented DIS a pig in pea fed. There
is good reason for this. The farmer
leads more natural life than ANYBODY
else; his soil is his bank. and the ele.
ments his coadjutors; if he neglects the
one or the other goes back on him, and
refuses to rain on his corn, he is not
bankrupt thereby, for he knows that if
the earlier rains fail, that the later will
be sure to come, and that partial fail
ure is not disastrous. His stock grows.
in wet weather or dry, and come what
may, he has an assurance of all the
necessaries of life in abundance. Al
farm is the worst place imaginable to
starve at. The food may be plain, but
it is anti dyspeptic; and he always has
the best of sauce, which is a good appe-
tite. Farmers are the best cOntented
class of our citizens, and most of the
they indulge in is just the
of that humanity that
makes us all akin. Farmers are not
very different from other people. Their
are different, and alto !
yether favorable to long life and a
peaceful end.

Education should never Le fpished
until age has so far dulled the intellect
that no further knowledge can be ac-
quired. Too many young men think
the diploma is an evidence that they
know all that is worth knowing. Be-
tween such an one and fool there is
bnt little difference. Time and money
spent in sending such boy to school.
after he has learned to read and write
in his mother tongue. is wasted. The
object of schools is to train the mind to
habits of correct thinking, TO lay the
foundation for future requirements, to
furnish, not the conquests, but the
weapons with which TO make them.

partment of the great school Of life,

By-Products of the Abattoir.

The by.products OF the slaughter
house are many and of varied uses in
commercial sense. We clip the follow
| ing from Breeders Gazette:
The stomachs OF hogs, instead OF be-
ing sent to the rendering tanks, are
now used for the manufacture of pep
sin.
| Pigs feet, cattle feet. hide clippings
and the pith of horns, as well as some
Of the bones, go to the manufacture of
glue.
The pauuches of cattle are cleaned
and made into tripe.
The choicer part of the fat cattle are
utilized for the manufacture of oleo
oil, which is constituent of butterine,
and for stearine.
Large quantities Of the best of the
eaf lard are also used for the manufac-
ture of what is known as neutral, .
also constituent of butterine.
The intestines are used for sausage
castings; the bladders are used to pack
putty w..
The undigested food in the cattle
stomachs is pressed and used for fuel.
The long ends of the tails of cattle
are sold to mattress makers.
The horns and hoofs are carefully
preserved and sold to thu manufactur
ers of combs, buttons, etc. Many of
the large white hoofs go to China,
where they are made into jewelry.
The horns are used for multitude of
purposes. They can be made supple,
be split into thin plates, and pressed
under the most diverse forms in heated
molds aud receive various colors.
They form close limitations of the high
est priced tortoise shell.
All of the blood is carefully preserv-
ed. Some is coagulated by cooking
with steam, then pressed and dried
and sold to fertilizer manufacturers.
Buttons are made of blood and it is al
so used in sugar refining.
All of the scrap from rendering OPP
erations is carefully preserved and
dried and sold as fertilizers.
Bones are dried and either ground in
to bone-meal or used for the manufae-
ture of bone charcoal, which is after
ward utilized for refining sugar and in
some other refining processes.

Come to
Our Office.

The results of the recent drouth
should impress upon every farmer the
necessity of a proper preparation of the
soil before planting the seed. Deep
and thorough blowing in fall and early
winter should be the universal prac-
tice for all our staple crops. 1t is true
that IL the seasons are favorab BILE good
crops can be made without such pre-.
paration; but it is risky business to
base years work upoE what at best
is an uncertainty. Prepare the land
fol droutq, and if the drouth does not
occur, so much the better, and il il
does, there is reasonable certainty of
a fair crop.

years ago. Anybody who could hold

All there was to do was to plant corn

animals that were bred did not amount
to much anyhow. In the East the To-
