Dear Sirs: 1 am eighty-two years old and
have been a sufferer from catarrh in the head
for twenty live or thirty years. Have doc
tored with many specialists and they all told
me that the disease incurable on account
of my age. saw HYOMEI advertised and
concluded to give it trial. After using it a
short time I was greatly benefited, and can
now say that 1 am entirely cured. 1t has
been six months since 1 stopped using the
remedy and 1 still remain cured. Very truly
yours, JOHN s. GRAVY
Since Government statistics have proven
that Hyomei alone reduced the death rate
from respiratory diseases SO per cent in
1900, thousands of sufferers from coughs,
catarrh, bronchitis and consumption have
stopped experimenting with other treat
ments, used Hyomei and been completely
cured.
1t is now only necessary for the public
to understand this and the efforts of ply
sicians and health boards to stamp out
these terrible plaques will be successful.
Coughs, Catarrh, Pneumonia and Con-
sumption cannot exist where Hyomei is
used, ard every man, woman and child
in this country should inhale this new
germicide at least once each day.

LITTLE BOY is BADLY
BEATEN WITH a CLUB
Charitable Society Officers State That
Child's Injuries Were Inflicted
by His Mother.

Secretary White of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children states
that Charley Miller, a 7-year-old boy,
whose home is at so Hancock street, has
within the last two or three days, been
frightfully beaten by his mother. The
little fellow is now at the home of his
grandmother at 1850 Folsom street with a
broken nose. a badly cut lip and many
bruises resulting, he claims, from blows
inflicted with a club in the hands of his
unnatural parent
The neighbors say that Mrs. Miller has
exhibited a brutality toward her son al
most beyond belief and that he has re-
peatediy begged for their protection, but
that they dared not interfere. The case
was reported to the charitable society
and an investigation has resulted in Sc
curing sufficient discriminating evidence
to warrant an arrest, which the officers
have decided to make to-day.
Mrs Miller admits that she gave the
child beating. but states that it was in
the way of punishment and no more than
the boy deserved. The authorities think
otherwise, however.

ADVICE as no THE COTTON CRoP.


We have just received the follow
ing suggestions from Prof. w. f.
Massey. They were evidently writ
ten some weeks ago, being now a
little unreasonable, but may be con-
sidered with profit in the growing of
future crops.
He says: "Whi1e we have time
and again argued that the cotton
farmer, by the use of a short rOta-
ton, in which the peas r brought
in frequently on the land, can avoid
the purchase of heterogeneous fertili-
zers, and in fact, loan finally bring
his land into such a condition that
he will need no fertilizers except a
liberal application of phOsphoric
acid and potash on the pea crop pre-
oeding the cotton planting, still the
cultivation of the soil is a matter so
dependent upon seasonal conditions
and rainfall, or it's absence, that no
iron Glad rule can always be followed,
and there are times when the SUCCESS
of the crop depends upon a quick
taking of measures for it's safety.
Then, if after the, heavy rains, we
find that the cotton has put on a
yelloWish tint, we may be lie that
some Immediately available nitrogen
is needed, and the watchful farmer
will not hesitate to apply it. On one
occasion, at least, We have seen the
entire difference between a top crop
and no top crop made by a top dress
ing as late as August, when here
and there a boil was opening. The
portion of the field top dressed made
a fine top crop, while the remainder
did not.
"Therei is an addition reason for the
improving farmer to make this July
dressing to the cotton. He will, or
should, at the last working, SOW
crimson clover seed among the cot
ton so as to have a green crop on the
land in winter to act as a trap for
the nitrogen that may be teaching
away from a bare soil, for In the
South there is as much loss of nitro
gen from the soilin the winter rains
as in the summer culture, and if the
nitrates that are formed do not get
taken by some green crop and thus
be looked up in the form of organic
matter, they will be washed away
from the soil"

The sage crop, about which your
correspondent enquiries, is the com
mon garden sage-SGLUiG O~6fcinGLiS.
There are three varieties of this, or
as come botanists say two Species
the plain green sage, red sage and
purple sage.
The plain sage is best. This is a
perennial plant of very robust
growth. Can be grown from seed
sown in spring about time of sowing
lettuce. Sow the seeds thinly in
drills "a inches apart ; cover the seeds
lightly. Root cuttings from an old
bed will also do. The bed should be
plowed up and renewed every three
years, as the roots tend TO make q
solid mat in the ground, preventing
clean cultivation. A very rich loamy
soil or one inclining TO be moist is
best. A northern exposure is desir-
able or shade from the midday sun.
In harvesting, cut out every second
row about time plants T half
grown; then cut other rows when
the plant shows signs of going to
seed. Never allow the plants TO
bloom. Usually two or three out
tings per annum can be obtained, If
the ground is very rich and the bed
is kept free from weeds. The best
manure is a high grade complete fer
tilizer to which should be added half
it's weight of nitrate of soda. Use
600 to 1000 pounds per acr or more.
Sage is sold in the green state,
bunohed, like other garden herbs. 1t
is sold by commission men who deal
in produce. Sage is but little used
in medicine and the market is not
large. Sage is also used in the dry
state for favoring, especially at
Christmas.
Presumably the commission men
who sell this herb green will also
handle it in the dry state. If there
is any considerable demand for sage
by manufacturing chemists Messrs.
Wallace Bros, of Statesville, N. c.,
probably buy the plant. would not
advise any one to go largely into
sage growing unless they have an
assured market for the product. The
labor expense is quite large. Seed
of sage can be boughto of j. M. Thor
burn & Co., New York.
