Stocking "a Fish Pond,

QUEsrToN.-On my farm l have Just
completed fish pond. covering about
an acre, and from 1 to feet deep. How
can l get some fish to stock it. and what
kind would you recommend?
ANSWER. Captain j. d. Edmondson
of LAGRANGE is the fish superintendent
for this state and you should write to
him on the subject. Carp and tench
have been the fish most usually selected
for our ponds, on account of the ease
with which they thrive and multiply,
but they are poor fish for the table, and
would recommend for your pond the
black bass or trout and the Dream, both
of which are very fine table fish, and
being very game, afford much sport in
the catching. If the government does
not distribute these last you might find
out from the fish superintendent where
they can be obtained. The speckled
catfish is also good pond fish.-State

Good Seed For Planting.

QUESTIoN.-Is the selection of good
seed for planting as important as many
think?
ANSWER. seed is the very first
requisite for good crop, but a great
number of farmers are very indifferent
on this point, seeming to think that any
seed of given plant will produce good
crop. There could be no greater mis-.
take. For instance, take seed of oats or
wheat that has been cut when the grain
was only half ripe, and what is the re-
suit? There is an immediate deteriora.
ton i'll the crop, the yield diminishes,
and smut and rust are greatly increased.
Let your seed for planting be always
fully matured and ripened, that the re-
sulting crop may have in it but few i'm
perfect plants. Seed corn should not be
selected in the crib, but in the field.
where the stalk as we'll as the ear can
be seen. and where by judicious and
persistent selection, great improvement
in size of ear and early maturity can be
attained. There is much room for i'm.
provement in the way we select our cot
tonseed for planting, and with more
care III this respect we could considera-
bly, increase our cotton crop.-State Ag.

First a Mole,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in its path as Cancer-and we'll
may this dreadful affection be reg arded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
1ife's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is power1ess,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
1ignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic plasters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes its cause. S. S. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures can
Ger and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the well-known residents of
Macon, Ga, is Mr.. H. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from a
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope of
ever being cured.
On June %, 1896, he writes: "Twenty
years ago, while being shaved, a small
mole on my face was cat, leaving an

cost the manufacturers 10 cents for each

pense adds nothing to the cost of the

other; and the mode of taking samples,

would be flooded with worthless fertili-
zers, which the farmers could not dis
SiIguish from honest goods. The in-
spectors are all sworn officials of the
state, and are selected for their fitness
for the work. The safeguards thrown
around this business in this state are so
many, and so carefully prepared, that
there is practically no chance for worth

Baking Horses

QUESTION. How do horses acquire
the habit of baking, and can they be
cured of it?
ANSWER. The baking habit in horses
is not natural or inherited one, but is
taught them through bad or careless
driving. When first acquired, by ex-
ercising great care, this fault may be
corrected. Never whip balky horse
or use any harsh means whatever tc
subdue him. Nothing but gentle means
will avail anything, unless you want tc
utterly ruin the animal. When this
bad habit is once thoroughly acquired,
! it is considered incurable and the ami.
NAL is rendered almost worthless. State

posed of their business to Eugene NJ.
Bailey for $500.
Immediately afterwards the firm made
an assignment for the benefit of their
creditors. 1t is charged that they sold out
at "a greatly reduced price and that they
did SO to secure preferred creditors.
Suit was brought by II. S. Melcher &
Co.. of this city, and the ad damnum OF
the writ placed at $1,000, against Mr..
Bailey and Joseph E. Briggs, the latter
being relative of Mr.. Briggs, who com
posed the firm with Mr.. Webb.
