There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure On the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-

SILK CULTURE IN THE SOUTH.
Rev. II. M. LOwrey, n Negro Preacer
of Alabama, In Developing
q New Industry.

Rev. r. NJ. Lowrey, a negro preacher
and philanthropist, one of the most in.
telligent men of his race was in Wash
ington, recently, on his way north for
the purpose of purchasing looms to
weave the silk he raises on his farm
near Birmingham, Ala.
Mr.. Lowrey is an enthusiastic re-
garding silk culture, and believes
there would be more money for the
south in the growth of the mulberry
tree and the silk worm than in cotton.
His own experiments have been
crowned with gratifying success, and
he has received a number of medals
from various expositions for the best
production of cocoons, raw silk, silk
worms and mulberry leaves.
His attention was first called to the
silk industry by his daughter, a teach
err in one of the public schools in Birm-
ingham, who became absorbed in the
study of the peculiar caterpillar that
produces silk. To please her, Mr.. Low
rey obtained some cocoons from
France for experiment, and soon grew
SO interested in the work that he de-
votes his entire time to his silk farm,
which has grown to large proportions
and is in fiourishing condition. The
raw silk, he says, can be produced
with little expense and trouble, and he
is convinced that if the negro people
of the south would study the industry
and become interested in it they could
devote part of their land to it, and
| would find it remunerative.
what they need" says Mr.. Low
rey, ais to be shown they can grow
silk, encouraged to make trial and
given little aid to get start. When
silk culture attains growth and rec
ognition in the south, you will find
fewer colored politicians and cor
respondingly greater prosperity and
better conditions generally among the
people of that race. Associated

AN IDEA ON FARM ECONOMY.
The Farmer Should Have, Besides
Book Knowledge, an Aptitude
in the Use of Tools.

The one-horse farmer, that is one
who works with his hands as well as
his head, should have some knowledge
of botany, entomology, agricultural
chemistry, and of all Othe other sci
ences he can conveniently get his
hands on. He should have in a con-
venient receptacle, elementary books
on all these subjects, and all the de-
partment and station bulletins he can
gtt. 1t is, of course, better to have
knowledge in ones head, but in many
cases this is not the way we find it.
The next best place for useful knowl-
edge is in convenient book case. The
man who knows where knowledge is to
be had may not be classed as very
learned one, but he knows far more
than the average, and enough to get
along with. The real fool is one who
don't think anything of the sort is nee
essary for a farmer. There are some
other things farmer should know,
that are not found in books. He
should know how to use carpenters
tools, masons' tools, blacksmith tools,
leather workers tools, etc. If he has
some elementary books on mechanics,
so much the better, for in them he will
find many facts and principles that
will be of no use even in the plainest
mechanical tasks. Not long ago, the
writer entered jewelers. shop and
asked the proprietor if he could weld
~~11 ssO1 voc ~ said bo ts<,f oonrca I

process. After little hesitation he
admitted that he could not weld but
could solder gold. This man had
worked in gold for years, but had not
learned the fundamental fact, taught
in school physics, that gold can not be
welded. Therefore we assume that for
sowing, blowing, hammering, and ali
such work, even book-knowledge is not
out of place. But when gate or a

When clover hay is cut fine it is
sometimes cheaper and better than
grain for fowls. Wheat at 81 bushel
is more expensive than clover, with
less beneficial results, using pound for

in his fight against various insect
pests the value of good deep blowing
late in the fall is always worthy the
serious consideration of the practical
farmer. 1t is one of the best methods
of destroying several of our most
widespread and destructive insects.
Every farmer should conduct some
experiments on the farm. He needs to
know the best varieties of grain and
vegetables for his soil and market, and
he needs to know whether fertilizers,
barnyard or commercial, pay him all
the profit that they should.
1t has been shown that hog chol-
era is often carried many miles down

ter. Therefore, the running brook has
been denounced as a nuisance in a hog

prevails.

Crimson clover has high, feeding
