BARNEY'S WEALTH,

AS to the cause of Barnato's suicide,
1t may be said without reserve that
financial embarrassment was not one
Of them. The market value of his pos
sessions, say in September 1895, was
between sS0,0O00O0 and s1OO,OO0,O 900. The
collapse in the market since has prob
ably reduced this below $40 600, 900, but
Barnato at the time of his death was
probably still a millionaire several
times over in pounds sterling. The
man was always a reckless liver, but
not so 'viciously dissipated as has some
times been represented.

"Big-Head" and "Big.Jaw."

Question: have fine mare suffer.
ing with ''big- head" and "big. jaw" Is
there anything that will cure her?
ANSWER. This is a common disease
among horses and mules at the south,
and various are the causes assigned for
it. Some say it is caused by damaged
corn, others attribute it to what are
called blind teeth, and many think it is
caused by feeding corn raised on new
grounds. The truth is the veterinary
surgeons do not know the cause of this
disease, which carries off many horses
and mules annually. The disease, il
well advanced, is absolutely incurable,
and the animal suffering with it should
not be tortured by burning holes into
the nose and lower jaw, applying Sc.
tons, ETC., as is too often done. There
is no satisfactory treatment. In the
first stage of the disease, if the animal
is put upon limestone pasture, given
good care and fed we'll on bright. clean
oats. the disease is sometimes checked,
and occasionally even completely cured.

Value of Salt and Lime as Fertilizers.

value OF salt and Lime as Fertilizers
QUESTION. is the value of salt
as fertilizer? What of lime?
ANswER.-While salt is not essential
to the growth of agricultural plants,
nevertheless it is found to be service.
able as a fertilizer in some cases. It ia
probable that the salt brings about de.
composition of substances already in
the soil. and by this means renders
them available as plant food. 1t also
attracts moisture. 1t is supposed by
many that it destroys fungi and insects
IN the soil. rendering plants more
healthy and vigorous. Many believe
that an application of 800 to 400 pounds
to the acre will prevent rust in cotton.
and also increase the yield and improve
the quality. Most soils contain suffi.
Gent lime for the needs of the great ma.
Jority of cultivated crops. Lime is not
used for fertilizer as much as for.
merly, many persons contending that
there is no appreciable benefit to be de-.
rived from its use. It may, however,
be used to advantage to correct acidity

rocks and minerals. 1t may destroy in
sects and some injurious fungi. Tin.
creases the power of the soil for fixing
and holding potash. 1t disintegrates
and makes more friable, stiff soils, while
at the same time it binds together and

ground peas tor instance, will make al.
most a total failure in soils deficient il
lime, and their cultivation should not
be undertaken in such soils, without

Brooks County Self Supporting.

QUEsTIoN.7-Is there any section or
county in Georgia which might be
called self supporting?
ANSWER - AS an answer to your
question take pleasure in publishing
the report Of reliable crop correspond.
ent from Brooks county, received last
week.
''This (Brooks) is the banner county
OF Georgia when it comes to hog and
hominy.' We raise lots of meat, corn.
oats. peanuts, peas, etc. There is
enough meat raised here each year to
run the county three years without buy
ing any western meat. Our merchants
ship meat, lard, corn, etc., all over South
Georgia. A great many of our farmers
carry balances to their credit, in the
bank here, of from $1,000 to $4,000.
They run their farms from sale of meat.
corn, etc., and make their cotton a sur.
plus crop"
Now | ask you and every other farmer
In Georgia to read and ponder the above
statement. Is the condition of Brooks
county one to be envied or not? Is it a
desirable thing for farmer to have an
abundance of all kinds of provision
crops. besides money in the bank, or is
it not? Why can't you and every other
farmer in Georgia place yourselves in
the same condition as the farmers of
Brooks county? There is but one OBJ.
stacle in the way, and that is the craze
Tor cotton Bring about cure in this
respect and all the rest follows as mat.
ter OF course. assert, without fear Of
contradiction. that if every county in
the state was doing just as Brooks
county is doing, Georgia would be the
most prosperous state in the Union, and
could bid defiance to trusts, Dingley
tariffs and other like nominations

The object Of this cut in prices Is SAID
by Secretary Wugfield, of the Delivery
company. to be meeting competition
The announcement of the reduction
caused surprise in the camp of the Con-
sumers Ice Company. Mr.. Joseph >.
Montgomery. the manager, said his COM
pany had been selling ice at the bare cost
of production and delivery for the past
three months He denied emphatically
that any cut had been made by them,
and said that he believed the present
action Of the combine was designed SIM
ply TO freeze the Consumers Company
out of the business. The Board OF Di-
rectors Of the latter concern VIII meet
to-day, and take action In the premises,
and ii is inferred from what Mr.. Mont
gomery said that the cut will be met.
although the sale of ice at such prices
will entail a heavy loss.
From the fact that neither company

prices. it would seem that the cut is not
expected 10 remain i'm force for any con-
siderable length of time.
