WAR LEFT THEM so.
The War Is Over long Years Ago, but the
Scars Of Wounds and Erail Of Disease are
Found Yet In Augusta.

Happy were the men who came home
from the Civil war untainted with any
organic trouble caused by exposure
In the years that have passed since
then, a big percentage-think of it, 80
per cent-have been engaged in an
other struggle, more desperate than
the first-a battle for life. Weakened
kidneys with the train of consequences
that follow, rheumatism, lumbago, in
confluence of urine and torture from
backache. The bullet did much but
the disease did ten times more. Mr..
Thos. o. Pease of No. 10 Gage ST., says:
Ever since 1 left the army, kidney
complaint has followed me more or
less. / have often been compelled to
work stopped away over like an old
man and always when suffering from
severe attacks, I had to be careful not
to take false step or make an awk-
ward movement Nnless wanted to ex-
perience eXcruciating torture. When
sharp shooting pains were not present.
dull, aching, grinding ones replaced
them and when lying down, no matter
what position assumed always seemed
to create painful throbbings on the
part l rested upon. Every year the
trouble grew worse and came to the
conclusion that l would carry it to my
grave. 1 had read from time to time
notices about Doan's Kidney Pills, but
l did not pay much attention to them
until l was attracted to a special one.
1 went at once to the Old Reliable Drug
store of Chas. K. Partridge. They
helped me from the first. 1 took in all
three boxes and to say that was sur
prised only half expresses it. My
trouble of so long standing that l
never expected to get rid Of disap-
peared. 1t may be too much to expect
permanent cure, but so far it feels
like that. I have had more comfort
during the last two or three weeks
than 1 have had in as many years. If
it was the last money 1 possessed and
required them, l would gladly spend
it on Doan's Kidney Pills. 1 tell every
body about my experience and 1 shall
continue to do So"

dealers, price so cents per box, or
boxes for $3.50. Sent by mail on re-

Drying Figs.

For convenience in handling, wood
Ell or paper trays are commonly used
for drying figs in the Western States.
By their use the fruit can easily be-
stacked and sheltered in wet weather.
The trays are Of various sizes, but
small size, such as 21s feet by 31s, or
31a feet by four feet, is preferable,
while larger size requires two men.
The drying ground should be clean
space outside the orchard, where the
trays may be exposed to the uninter-
rupted rays of the sun. The figs re-
quire all the sunshine obtainable, and
the drying ground must therefore be
free from the shade of trees or build
ings. The drying floor may consist
simply of beds of soil elevated foot
above the general level A drying
floor four feet wide may be raised
eight inches additionally along one
side. The slope toward the sun thus
given will insure greater heat. Trays
may be placed on strips OF wood or
scantlings supported by low saw
horses. The sawhorses should be long
enough to support two rows of trays
abreast Three scantlings or stri ips
will be required for each pair of saw
horses. They should be of even
lengths, as long as obtainable, and the
middle one should be larger than the
outside ones; two by four inches for
the mioule one and two by three inch
es for the side scantlings will be
found convenient sizes. The figs
should be placed singly on the tray,
with their eyes all toward one side,
and this side of the tray should be
slightly raised in order to prevent the
contents of very juicy figs from run
ming out during the process of drying.
The raising of the trays is the most
easily accomplished by placing the
two by four inch supporting strip in
the middle of the sawhorses and the
two by three inch strips on either
side Immediately after sulphuring,
if that is practiced, or after dipping,
the fruit should be spread and the
trays distributed on the racks where
they will have\ the full benfit of the
hottest sun. The distribution of the
trays should be flushed before noon
each day to secure the best color of
the dried product.
The figs must be turned twice
day at first and once day in the
later stages of drying. The turning
requires much work and expense, as
it can be done well only ny hand Ia
Dor. An inferior product may be turn

A Hundred Tons of Grapes.

A Hundred Tons of Grapes.
The one hundred and ten acre White
Niagara Vinyard, located just north
of Orlando and owned by Mr.. e. Ash
ley Smith, of Lockport, New York.
presents very pretty sight to its Wis
itors just now, says the Orlando Star.
Mr.. w. J. Campin, the efficient and
wide-awake superintendent of the
vineyard, is just beginning the work
of shipping the fruit, the first con-
signment having gone forward by ex-
press to New York parties Saturday,
the 18th instant.
This is fully three weeks earlier
than ,ne grapes from this section are
usually shipped and, Of course, sew
eral weeks before grapes of more
northern ATTITUDES are matured.
Mr.. Smith, in writing Superintend-
ent Campin ten days ago, stated that
in the famous White Niagara vine
yards of New York state, the vines
had only attained two or three inches
of growth.
Mr.. Campin commenced with force
of pickers and packers yesterday to
get the grapes, which are ripening
very raplu4y, ready for shipment, and
probably by tomorrow large num-
Der will go to New York points.
There will be from forty to fifty
packers at work until the bulk of the
crop is shipped. Mr.. Campin esti-
mates that >-4ere is fully three times
as large crop as last year, and that
about one hundred tons will be the
yield for this season.
To move this immense yield profit
ably, it is proposed to employ both
day and night force, probaly working
an alterna ting force of twenty-five
packers and a sufficient number OF
pickers to keep these constantly en-
ployed. The entire crop will thus be
moved in about three or four weeks
and it is the intention this year 70
send most OF II 10 NEW L OIh dHd JUL
er eastern points. The fruit is this
wear in excellent condition and Mr..
Campin thinks that he will avoid the
complaints which have heretofore
been made with regard to the fruit
shattering by shipping before 1t
reaches too ripe a stage. 1t is pro-
posed to utilize such fruit as is not
probably marketable, in making wine
and brandy, and thus allow none to so
to waste.
It is Mr.. Smiths purpose, as soon as
the grape crop is off, to devote i've
acres of the vineyard to pinery,
planting only the choicest varieties
and giving them the very best care
and treatment to secure apples which
will command the highest prices in
the market.
No one can visit this attractive vine

Danger from Foreign Insects.


T. D. A. Cockrell, entomologist OF
the New Mexico agricultural expert
ment station writes:
It is a commonplace observation
that most of our injurious insects are
introductions from abroad; and the
most cursory glance over the litera-
ture economic entomology will show
THAT every little while one is added to
the number of these alien pests. At
/ ter years of comparative Indifference,
the country is at length becoming
alive to the serious danger to our hor-
ticultural interests from these contin
ued introductions, and measures are
contemplated for preventing them.
Already, indeed, the state of Califor-
MIA has established a horticultural
quarantine officer, with full power to
destroy, if need be, all infested plants
arriving at that port. But California
cannot alone protect the United States
from inIestation, nor can she efficient
ly protect herself, so long as there are
no proper precautions taken in other
parts of America. In this matter, as
in many others, the United States
must act for the United States; aided,
indeed, by the people and legislatures
of the several states and territories,
but still uniformly and consistently,
from Maine to San Diego, and from
Puget Sound to Key West 1t should
be clearly understood that what we
now know is but tithe of what
might be known had proper attention
been paid to the injurious insects of
Japan, the Pacific Islands, Mexico,
Central and South America and the
West Indies. Every collection of scale
insects from those regions contains
new species, and the greatest investi-
cations yield abundant new and un-
suspected facts.
The rapid spread of scale insects. In
these days of easy and rapid transit,
cold storage and wardian cases,
plants are carried all over the world,
and no insects are more easily carried
upon them than the scale insects
Thus it happens that while under nat
ura1 conditions scale insects have usu-
ally a rather restricted distribution,
many species of them are becoming
or have become worldwide, and it
looks as if the end would only be
reached when every country possessed
all those kinds which were able to ex-
