The case of Mrs. James Kell, of 6Ir
Ninth Street, S. E., Washington, D. c.,
should convince everyone that it is
useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu-
natism. Under recent date she writes !:
"a few months ago had an attack of
Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form.
The pain was SO intense that my ner-
vous system was Frustrated, and I was
for a long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one,
and my condition was regarded as
being very dangerous.
81 was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City, who is
leading college here. He told me to
get we'll. After having it reflled twelve
times and receiving not the least bene-
fit, l declined to take it longer.
"Having heard S.S.S. (Swifts Spe-
ci6c) recommended for Rheumatism,
l decided, almost in despair, to give
it a trial. After taking a few bot
ties I was able to hobble around on
clutches, and very soon had no need
at all for them, tor S.S.S. cured me
sound and we'll All the distressing
pains have left me, my appetite has
returned, and am happy to be again
restored to perfect health"
S.S.S. never disppoints, for it is made
to cure these deep-rooted diseases which
are beyond the reach of all other RENE
dies. 1t cures permanently Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, and
all other blood diseases. 1t is the only
blood remedy guaranteed

Tobacco in Florida and South GeOr-
rrAsn

Mr.. T. H. Shumate sold portion of his
crop at 40 cents. The buyer of these two
crops was Mr.. J. E. Stillman, for Little
Bros, of Jacksonville.
Mr.. Milan estimates that he will net
about $500 on this crop, and he gave very
little attention to any part of it, having
hired everything done.
Elsewhere we print an account of the
authenticated sales of the Plant City crops
and it is expected that the purchaser of
these crops, Mr.. O'Halloran of Tampa,
will shortly visit Barlow with view to
buying up the product here. Messrs. J.
IT. Tatum and L. C. Tanner, representing
all the finished tobacco-that is, the last
falls crop which has been betuned and
baled-carried samples TO Tampa last
week and wherever it was exhibited it
was declared to be very fine and manu-
facturers We're eager for it. Cigars mace
from it were equal, If not superior, to
the finer Havanas. The burning quail
ties. the color and the flavor were ali
that could be desired and few, if any
could detect the difference when put by
the side of imported goods.
We have it on good authority that one
of our citizens recently procured a lot of
choice Havana leaves and taking these,
q
number of factories, the Barlow leaf was
nearly every time pronounced the choice
between the two lots.
AT all events, 1t now seems clearly set
tied that 40 cents is the minimum price
for pole cured leaf and there is every rea
son to believe that the bulk of the crop
will bring much more than that. Many
growers with whom we have talked say
that they are quite willing to engage in
the business permanently if they can sell
at 40 cents, and we feel fully warranted
in assuring them that they need never
expect less, provided, always, of course,
that due care is exercised in the handling
of the crop.
Mr.. Shaw, representing one of the
largest firms in the country, spent a day
last week in company with Mr.. ]. II. Ia
tum, looking al our tobacco, and he eX-
poets to have arrangements made to re-
turn and buy within a few days.-Courier-

The Japanese observation-disclosures.

For two years I have taken particular
pains with the new japanese sorts of
morning-glory. A year ago 1 planted
them in open ground; the plants came up
slowly and weakly, and I failed to see
single blossom on them. Last spring
started the plants in pots in the green
house. Again they came up rather reluc-
family, but finally made some fairly good
growth. In due time they were set in
open ground, and with much coaxing and
nursing 1 succeeded in getting them we'll
up to the trellis. While the ordinary
morning-glories side by side with them
were covered with blossoms and glory right
along, the Japanese did not give a single
blossom until only a few weeks before
frost made an end again of all the glory
There is a material difference in the
shape of the leaf of the two kinds, that
of the Japanese sorts being three-lobed,
but in the bloom have been disappointed.
] could not find that this was more brill
liant or in other ways superior to that of
the ordinary kinds. Unless another years
experience shall give different results, es-
pecially in showing us that fine bloom of
which the catalogues and some of our ag-
ricultural papers speak, l shall arrive at
the conclusion that the game is not worth
the powder.

Trucking versus Farming.

Trucking" and farming are two dis
tinct occupations but there is not a farm
In all this broad southland that should not
have as valued appendage an acre or
half-acre garden. A gardener is not al
ways a farmer, but every farmer should
be a gardener. Every farm of twenty
acres or more should have a garden of
certainly not less than half an acre. One
acre should be the minimum really, and
this one acre, properly managed, will be
worth to any intelligent man of family
as much as any FIVE acres of the farm
land in any of the ordinary crops One
acre of good land kept constantly in cul-
tivation with the various vegetables that
constitute garden crops" will be worth
ordinarily to any farmer more than five
acres in either corn or cotton. In fact,
a farmer should almost live off of an
acre garden. If it is managed properly,
it will come very near furnishing an av-
erage family with all the food necessary
for subsistence-either directly or Indirect
ly. There is not month in the year when
a southern garden should not supply some
eatables. At the worst season it may be
only turnips and collards or cabbages and
onions and potatoes and artichokes and
spinach, or kale that it supplies, but even
BILE An acre in either of any of these
things will pay more money ordinarily
than five acres in cotton or corn. In this
market to-day rutabagas are selling for
cents each, and large ones for 10 cents.
Common size fiat Dutch turnips bring
cents each. AT 1 cent apiece there is
money in turnips. At 50 cents even 25,
there is more clear money in artichokes
than in cotton or corn. Near good mar
ket one acre of spinach will bring more
"clear" money than five acres of cotton
al cents per pound. We are merely re-
ferring to those garden crops that are
grown In the winter, chiefly, of course,
crops such as tomatoes, onions, asparagus
and others, bring even more than those
first named. One acre in small fruits will
pay a grower as much as ten acres, even
more, of such crops as corn, cotton or
oats.
1t requires a little more care and nicer
attention to details to make garden crops,
and then market them, but in the end it
pays more than ordinary farming.

Middle Florida, particularly our own
county, to look into the matter
The growing of the camphor trees in
Middle Florida is unquestionably beyond
the experimental stage; there are trees
in Quincy 10 or y years old; the young
sprigs planted in Bloxham park and la
the yards of several of this city only few
years ago are large enough to be called
trees and they seem to take on a peren-
NAL growth.
The writer has not had the opportunity
to look up data as to the actual or poten-
tial commercial value of the camphor out
put-but can say that 1t is most valuable.
Camphor is said to be one of the princi-
pal ingredients in the manufacture of the
smokeless powder now used in the modern
ornaments and muniments of war-and
1t is further stated that Japan has recent
ly obtained possession of the Island of For
mosa producing practically the CONNER
cial output of camphor of the world. The
writer does not know upon what founda-
ton these rumors rest, but there is
enough in the fact that the camphor tree
can be grown in Leon county to warrant
the investigation of its cultivation.-Ob-
server in TallahasSean

The value of Beggar weed.

An exchange tells Of the great value Of
beggar weed and gives direction concern
ing same as follows:
1t should be cut when three feet high,
and cured thoroughly two or three days
The weed after moving makes another
crop, natures it's seed and yields the rich
est pasture until 1t is killed with frost
Horses and cattle fatten on 1t until the
holidays. Farmers who have paid no at
tention to this plant do not know what
they are losing. Introduced on the lands
and properly managed ii would render
South Florida an earthly paradise
Orange trees at this place fortified with
nothing but beggar weed and corn stubble
have made the most marvellous growth
and have leaves to-day five inches long
and three inches broad. II our beef cattle
ran in fields of beggar weed instead Of
pine woods, we should have but little call
for Chicago beef. This plant opens the
way for successful farming on pine lands
of Florida without other costly fertilizing
as nothing else ever has. One man states
that he increased the production Of his
corn field from ten bushels per acre to
thirty, with beggar weed alone. How
A grower In Leesburg said since the freeze
he had sown peas broadcast and plowed
in the crop, and made his trees grow
as we'll as when he put on $50 per acre Of
commercial fertilizer. Peas are an excel
lent crop but for several reasons pre-
fer beggar weed.-Leesburg Commercial.

"Green Manuring."

Question-On a field which is sandy and
deficient in vegetable matter, I have
fine stand of field peas, which promise to
make a luxuriant growth of vines Would
you advise me to turn them under green
or not?
Answer-On sandy land in our climate
the best results are not attained by turn
ing under a green crop of any kind. This
green manuring," as it Is called, can be
done with advantage in more northern
ATTITUDES, but should be avoided in our cli-
mate, and particularly on sandy lands BY
turning under a heavy growth of pea
vines, say in August you would no doubt
do your land more harm than good. The
active fermentation of the green vines
would produce a sourness of the ground,
which would be injurious to the succeed
ing crop; and the upturned soil would GER
talnly not be improved by the hot sunshine
of August and September, to which it
would then be exposed. Leave your pea
vines to shade the land, while the roots
continue to gather nitrogen, and after
frost. when they are all killed. turn them
under and you will have all the vegetable
matter that the leaves and stalks furnish
as well as the nitrogen accumulated by
the roots. Should you wish to sow the
field in oats, say in October, before kill
ing frost you need not hesitate to do so,
as the vines by that time will have reach
ed maturity and would not injure the land
by being turned under. Where you have
a choice, however, leave them alone until
a later date, If only for the reason that
the blowing will be easier after a killing
frost than before.-State Agricultural De-
nartunant
