feeds it out makes a greater profit

the feed and the stock the expense
of bringing the two together is saved
to the farmer, and thus his profits in
feeding are greater than those of the

THE ONLY SYSTEM.
A Self-Sustaining Farm Must Have
Stock Raising as Part Of
the Combination.

Tie only system of farming that
is really self-sustaining, is that
wherein stock-raising is a part of the
combination. The specialist-the fruit,
or truck, or hower-grower, or the
nurseryman-maym make as much or
even greater profits, but such farms
can not in our present state of knowl-
edge permanently sustain themselves
unless live stock is raised and fed on
the ground. A model farm, as distin-
guished from these special branches,
must grow a variety Of crops and a
variety of animals; not only for their
labor and flesh and wool and milk.
but for the manure which is neces-
sary to maintain the fertility of the
soil. Corn, small grain, forage crops,
root crops, pasturage, and in the
south cotton, will be the staples, and
they should be apportioned to each
other and to the live stock according
to all the conditions of the case. Buy
ing feed should not be considered. for

Move.

A well-known North Dakota magistrate
tells the following story, for the truth of
which he vouches At small town in the
state there were two doctors, one of whom
had great reputation for the cures he ef.
fected, and the other was not believed to be
much good" The favored doctor found his
services in great request, but as payment
was not always forthcoming he made rule
that certain class of his patients should
pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused by two
farmers from hamlet ten miles away, the
wife of one of whom was seriously III. He
told them to go to the other doctor, but
they refused, saying they would prefer his
services. Every vel" replied the medico,
sin that case my fee is ten dollars, the money
to be paid now"
The men demonstrated, but the doctor was
obdurate, and shut down his window. He
waited, however, to hear what they wou'd d
say. "Well, what viii we do now" asked
the farmer whose wife was i'll. And the re-
ply that was given must have been as graf
flying as it was amusing to the listening doc
tor. 1t was:

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 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 constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to q
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

An OFFICIAL INSPECTION.
The Augusta Postofiice Viewed by Two Gov
eminent inspectors.

Post Office Inspectors White and Pen
dieton. belonging to the New England d.
vision Of the inspection bureau of the
post office department. arrived in this
city. Tuesday afternoon, and at once
commenced a detailed inspection and
checking up of the Augusta post office
in all its departments. Such inspections,
while supposed to occur once a year in
the larger offices. are of late very infre-
quent, owing to the great pressure which
has been brought upon the inspection
bureau by the enlargement of the postal
work of the United states in foreign
countries without a rela tive increase in
the number of inspectors. Their coming
is always unheralded. and accounts are
taken without any preparation or putting
in order but theoretically exactly as the
office is found at the moment of their
arrival.
The large and valuable stock of postal
supplies carried by the Augusta office, the
accounts both of the cashiers and money
order divisions gone through with, and
the general inspection of the working of
the office carried out in the past three
days. Owing to the fact that certain
grave irregularities We're discovered inn
mediately after the last general inspec-
ton that was given the office some four
years ago, the present inspection was
made very much closer and carried into
more thorough detail than is usual even
At such times, and the most minor trans
actions of the office were thorouS. ,ly
overlooked.
After a most searching investigation of
the stock and accounts and the general
working of the office. it was found that
there was a surplus of $I.00 in the Money
order and sl.79 in the general accounts of
the office. where many thousands of dol
lars were concerned, the small surplus is
easily accounted for by the fact that
small sale of envelopes make small frac-
tons larger than the office is charged for
the stock furnished.
But two suggestions were made, ami
those of an unimportant character and
of a technical nature The inspectors
gave high praise to the present condition
of the Office and the satisfactory manner
in which the work has been carried on by
the present force. The very clean bill of
health given the ofnce is creditable to all
parties concerned, as well as to the citi-
zens of Augusta.
