For 20 years DR. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases of men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health, VigOT, usefulness and happiness than
any ten other doctors in the country combined.
Dr.. Hathaway treats and cures by a method
entirely his own. discovered and perfected by
himself and used exclusively by him, Loss of
Vitality, Haricocele, Structure, Blood Poisoning
in its different stages, rheumatism, Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints, Ulcers, Sores
of Kidney Troubles. His treatment for under
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient a strong, well, vigorous man.
Dr.. HathaWaYS success in the treatment of
VarteOceiG and Structure without the aid of knife
or CauteTy is phenomenal. The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss of time from business. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an ODeT-
alton. DR.. Hathaway calls the particular atten-
ton OF sufferers from VariCOcele and Structure to
pages q, %. %, 80 and 81 of his new book,
Every case taken by DF. Hathaway is specially

CALVES FOR MARKET

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t is not Improbable work to raise
calves for market in localities where
milk and cream are not easily sold at
remunerative prices, and if n goes
in for this object he can with a little
study find considerable to increase
his income. OF course in darylng
districts where there is a good mar
ket for butter and milk this work
might not prove very profitable, u
many farmers are so situated that
it is impossible to make much from
the milk and cream. There IS very
little expense in feeding the young
calves if kept only until they are
seven or or ten months old and then
sold. Sometimes we have found a
good calf that was worth more to US
to keep for breeding purposes than
for selling to the butcher and we
have thus added materially to our
stock.
When the calf is born, instead of
taking it from the mother it is al
lowed to run with her until ready
for the butcher. Very often d likely
calf in this way can be sold to pur-
chasers on the lookout for fine cattle,
and they will bring far than If
sold to the butcher.
For instance, last year we sold one
such animal to a neighbor for $40.
The calf was from a good grade Of
ShorthOrn, and it had all the indica-
tions of developing into "a good breed
ing animal. 1t was ten months of
age and was we'll worth the money.
In raising these calves there is lit
tie or no expense or outlay, and the
gain in the few months they are
kept represents nearly all profit.
There will be considerable milk and
cream obtained from the COWS even
when the calves are running with
them, and one might easily sell
enough dairy products to pay for the
food of the mothers if there was any
nearby market. Those living in good
dairy districts might not find this a
profitable way of handling their
herd, but it goes to show that me
need not be entirely discouraged if
the price of dairy products is way
down. Last year we had ten calves,
which we raised until they were from
eight to ten monthsold, and we sold
the lot for various prices. The total
received was S26O.55, which on the
whole we considered paid US pretty
well. In addition to this we sold
about $50 worth of cream and milk
and butter and kept a large family
supplied with all that we needed of
these products. Another year we
shall repeat this operation if we can
not get decent prices for the dairy
products, which up in this country is
not an easy matter. S. G. FAYNE.

The Dairy.
FODDER CORN FOB DAIRY COWS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
There is no part of the United
States in which dairying is carried
on where fodder corn cannot be rails
ed to advantage for the feeding of
milch stock,
This fact should be fully under
stood and appreciated early in the
season, so that ample provision may
be made for the planting of this inn
Portant feed auxiliary.
Some of the most profitable dairy
farms in the land, besides maintain
ing blooded OF graded stock, put out
every spring a large acreage of maize
for green feeding in the late summer
and early fall. The dairyman who
does not anticipate and provide for
his mich cattle's wants months in
advance, will be compelled to witness
the drying off of his COWS just when
he has no extra feed to supplant a
waning pasturage.
Fodder corn should be planted
early enough so that it will get a
good start before hot dry weather is
fairly launched.
Mind you, [ say PLANTED, for 1
have known some to indulge in the
slovenly practice of sowing the corn
broadcast like small grain. 1t should
be listed or planted in rows, so as to
admit of thorough cultivation at
least one way.
In this sunlight and air
are admitted, and combined with fire.
euent stirring of the soil, vigorous
and succuIent canes develop, con
tanning much saccharine matter cap
able of producing a rich and abund-
ant flow of milk. If sown or planted
too thick and left practically uncul-
tivated, the canes will be white and
watery and possess but little feeding
value.
If one has winter dairying at all in
view, a sufficient quantity of fodder
corn should be planted to insure a
supply for silage making in the fall.
The value of properly put up en-
silage has been practically demon
strated for years, and generally those
failures in its use have followed i'm
proper storing in leaky silOs.
Do not make the mistake of plant
ing fodder corn on second grade soil.
IF you are engaged in dairying at all,
you are certainly in the business to
try to make it pay, and this merits
frst-class attention and first-class
work in every department.
Plant your forage crop on as rich
soil as you have on your place, and
on as carefully prepared seed bed as
you would use in putting in corn for
grain. Bear in mind that it is yield
more than acreage that will give the
most effective results, for have seen
more and better fodder produced on
one acre carefully prepared and cult
waited, than on three where the re-
T was the case.
Plant varieties hardy to your sec
ton that will make a vigorous and
stOeky growth.

A Minlster's Good work,

"I had sever attack of bilious collie,
got a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took
two doses and was entirely cured" says
Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia Kan.
sMy neighbor across the street was sick
for over a week, had two or three bot
ties of medicine from the doctor. He
used them for three or four days with
out relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and gave
him no relief, so discharged him. l
went over to see him the next morning.
He said his bowels were in a terrible
fix, that they had been running off so
long that it was almost bloody fux. l
asked him if he had tried Chamberlaiu's
Collie, cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and he said, NO. / went home and
brought him my bottle and gave him
one dose; told him to take another dose
in fifteen or twenty minutes If he did
not find relief, but he took no more and
was entirely cured. For sale by DOd-
sons Pharmacy and j. r. Hudson.

Last Monday night the city council
decided, in substance, that screens
must be removed from places where
fsoft" drinks are sold, and Proprietor
Drummer is the first to comply. If the
beverages dispensed are nom alcoholic
as the proprietors assert, no one can
object to being seen drinking there.

EMPLOYEES GET A MONTHS PAY.
Paytrain Came and Relieved The
Situation Some.

The several hundred employees of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway in Ameri-
Gus received yesterday their pay for
July work, this being the first payday
on this division of the system since
July 18th, when the employees were
paid for the month of June. Aeolian
harp or the soft notes of the lutte never
sounded sweeter than did the musical
notes of the engine whistle that pulled
the pay Car yesterday, and when it
pulled up at the railroad shops hun
dreds of toiIers were there to receive
the money due them, Payment had
been deferred two weeks, and all were
eager to get hold of what was due
them in order to cancel their debts and
have a little spending money. Con-
trary to custom, the road this month
paid off in checks upon a Savannah
bank, and the local banks charged the
employees exchange for cashing same at
the rate of % cents per hundred, which
is the usual and legitimate charge.
Just why these checks were given
them, entaiIing expense in collecting
same, the employees cannot understand,
and some did not mince words in dis
cussing the matter among themselves.
AS something like $4,000 was paid
out here in these checks on the Savan-
nah bank the cost to the employees of
collecting their money was probably
$50 at the usual rate of exchange.
With this change in the date for pay
ing off, it will probably be the latter
part of September before the employees
get paid for August work. It 10 said
that in many instances the amounts
due the men were CUT down consider
ably, probably through some clerical
error, and the men will thus be depriv-
ed of their full earnings until the mat
ter is rectified. Just when this will be
done they are not advised. The dis
crepancies in the checks ranged all the
way from five cents to eighty dollars.
Several of the negro laborers employed
at the shops have quit, it is said.

THE REGENT DIAMOND. + T
It Is Acknowledged the Most Perfect
Brilliant In Existence.

= \
Brilliant In Existence.
The "Pitt' for Regent" as it was
afterward called is the most perfect
brilliant In existence and its history is
also very remarkable. 1t is said to
have been found by slave in the Par
teal mines In 1701, who to retain his
treasure cut a hole In the calf Of his
leg, in which he concealed 1t, although
it is more probable he secreted it
among the bandages. The slave es-
capped to the coast with his find, where
he encountered an English skipper,
whom he made his confidant, offering,
indeed, to bestow upon him the stone in
return for his liberty. The mariner,
apparently consenting to the slaves
proposal, took him out to sea and when
there drowned him, after obtaining
possession of the diamond. Disposing
of the gem to diamond merchant for
$1,000, 1t is said the man afterward
hanged himself In fit of remorse.
Mr.. Pitt, governor of Fort st. George
and great-grandfather of the illustrious
William Pitt, became the next pos
SCISSOR of this valuable stone, weighing
40 carats, for 100000. He sent 1t to
London, where he had 1t very skillfully
cut at cost of $4,000, the process oc-
cupying two years. Pitt appears to
have found his diamond no very envia-
BILE possession, for, after refuting the
calumnies of his enemies, who had
charged him with having obtained it
by unfair means, he was so haunted by
the fear Of being robbed that he never
slept two nights consecutively under
the same roof, never gave notice of his
arrival in or departure from town and
went about mysteriously disguised. He
must necessarily have felt greatly re-
lieved when he parted with the dia-
mond to the Due dOrleans, regent
during the minority of Louis XIV, king
of France, in 1717 for the sum of 9135.-
