Goodbye to the Old Year and the Last
of Eighteen Hundred.

This will be the last issue of the
ADVOCATE for 1899 and fills out the
period of another hundred years, gone
to be with the past. With those born
in the early part Of the century there
is much to recall of the wonderful
progress that has been made during
these years in all of the departments
of science, art, invention and educa-
tional and religious advancement.
Truly, it has been marvellous era
in the worlds history, for it would
seem that greater progress has been
made during the last hundred years
in all that goes to make the world
more enlightened and better than in
most of its previous history.
Many are still living who will bear
witness to this truth, and as they
look back over the years gone by will
plainly see the 0mnipotent guiding
power that has directed the way and
given to man the capacity to perform
many wonderful things.
And now comes the question will
the next hundred years witness the
accomplishment Of as much or more
in the history of the worlds progress,
and if 50, what will be the result?
There can hardly be reason to sup
pose but that this will be the case,
and if so, what changes there will be.
What momentous events have been
TRANSPORTING within the last year or
two of the present century, events
that are having much to do with the
history of our own country and that
of the world. And the end is not yet,
for these questions not fully settled
will form a part of the history Of two
centuries.
NeXed questions they may be, but
it is to be hoped that they will be set
tied in Il manner that shall be for the
best and most vital interests of all
concerned and in way that Shall go
far to help along those countries con-
cerncd in material prosperity, right
eousness and peace.
Along with the other avocations
and occupations pursued by the peo-
pie of the country, agriculture has re-
ceived due attention and with them
has made great progress and advance
mcnt. The past year has been one of
material prosperity and the farmer
has reason to be grateful for the bless
ings of an overriding Providence, and
in calm reliance on this same power,
goes forward with the confident expec-
taton of the same blessings and help
in the future as has been bestowed in
the past. Farewell 1899. With all
thy blessings and benefits we bid thee

a Farmers Wife's Experience in
Raising Turkeys.

MIR. EDIToR:-
nave had very good success this
year in raising turkeys. | wintered
hen turkeys. They laid los eggs and
Matched 9S young ones and out of that
number l. raised g.. After Matching
put the old ones in coops and made
large pen around them, all with
boards put down edgewise. The little
ones could not get over them and the
ola ones would not leave them.
Pleasant days | turned the old ones
out IN the pen and when the little
ones were or 3 weeks old | would let
them out of the pen for little while
IN the middle of the day. Fed them
sour milk curd or some wheat bread
but mostly Johnny-cake crumbed up
IN the curd, with some black pepper
IN it once or twice a week. Gave them
plenty of clean water
After haying they went any where
but were always back for their break
fast and supper. After they began to
run | dropped the Johnny cake and
used middlings with the curd. / new
er use much uncooked meal. This fall
when fattening we fed corn in the
morning, hot potatoes and meal at
noon and corn at night. Buckwheat
is excellent for fattening but we did
not it, have SO fed corn, and it takes
a good lot of it too.
l sold seven of the hen turkeys
alive for 13 cents pound, realizing

ton and these Melted me $S3. Have

leaving a sufficient number to keep.
| do not raise many Chickens as |
have until the two past years been
much troubled with the gapcs. My
chickens are cross between the white
and barred Plymouth Rocks. What |
have sold this year have brought me
70 cents apiece.
] set some turkey eggs under hens,
but when Matched gave them to the
turkeys to bring up, as the hens wean
them too soon. | have tried here to
give some idea as to how | raise tur-
keys. 1t takes lots of time and care
to be successful. l use a good deal of
fly powder to rid them of lice when
young, as this is very necessary.
Taken altogether | consider the
raising of turkeys as profitable as any
branch of farming, and as will be seen,
t adds considerably to the income at
he end of the year.

"Fair Play" Has a Say.

Mr.. EDITOR: We find in, the Macon
Telegraph of last week correspond
ent from Dawson naming an alder~
manic ticket for the approaching pri-
mary. Since that announcement we
have heard that another ticket has
been trotted out by what is termed
the ring" Perhaps the first named
ticket could not be controlled and used
by the sO-called ring. Not one word
has been heard from the taxpayers as
to who they prefer to fill these places.
They are the ones who have to bear
the burden of taxation to run the city
government, and ought to have a SAY
as to who the aldermen should be.
Taxpayers, are you going to stand ST.
lently by and see the "rings" dictate
who these aldermen shall be and sub
nit quietly to it? Why not let the peo-
pie call mass meeting, come together,
as in the good old ante-bellum days, and
nominate city officers without anyone
being suggested by any ring or clique?
Then these officers could enter upon
their duties without being under obi
cations to any man or ring. We find
that some of the parties spoken Of for
these places already hold positions of
profit. There are plenty of good men
who can fill these offices as we'll as
those holding positions. We are OPP
posed to any one man holding more
than one position when others are full
Iy as competent to fill them. Our mot
to is, "DIvide fish fairly"

STEVENS ON THE COTTON CROP.
There'n Be Hardly More Than 70 PEI
Cent. of Last Years.

There'n Be Hardly More Than 70 Per
Cent. of Last Years.
In discussing the cotton crop COM
missioner O. B. Stevens says that IN
Georgia there Will be decidedly light
err crop this year than was gathered
last. 1T is estimated by Commissioner
Stevens that hardly 70 per cent. of the
cotton raised in 1898 has been planted
in Georgia this year.
During the winter and early spring
| the department Of agriculture advised
the farmers of the state to diversity
their crops and plant less cotton and
more corn and wheat. This advice
has been taken in some quarters of the
state, and as a result it is expected
that fully 25 per cent. more corn will
be marketed from this state than ever
before.
Commissioner Stevens, in explaining
the shortage of the cotton crop this
year, says "The principal way we
have of telling in advance what the
staple crop is to be is by Judging of
the amount of fertilizers purchased by
the farmers.
"Fertllizers make the crop of the
state, and when the supply is short it
can generally be put down as certain
that the crop is to be short. This
year figures show that there was
exactly POO per cent. less fertilizers
sold in Georgia than there was last
year Again, all the fertilizer was not
used on cotton, as both the acreage
this year for corn and wheat has in
creased to a large extent. The increase
in the acreage devoted to corn is ex'
actly "a per cent. larger than it was
last year. Not only is the short crop
due to the shortage in fertilizers but
the farmers who made up their minds
to plant cotton had to contend with
the backward spring and very recently
with lack of rain.
II believe that with favorable cir
cumstances Georgia may have IS per
cent. of the crop of 1898, although it is
possible that it will not be that much.
Producing 1,536, 600 bales of cotton last
year, itls safe to predict that this
year the crop will not go over l 900, 900,
and possibly not that high"
