Reverend NJ. Anderson. the minister who

Mrs. Kline Is a dressmaker and has two

Mrs. Kline said upon her return to ALI

Dropped Dead! Heart ''''''''
No! Kidney Disease.


Every day people die of socalled "Heart Disease" or apoplexy, but in
reality of an unsrspected kidney disorder. Why9 Because physicians
either are ignorant of its existence, or unwilling to tell the truth.
In the present ae. there is more fatal malady than kidney disease. We
do not even except consumption of the lung, for a kidney disease which is
allowed to become fully developed is certainly consumption of the kidneys.
Kidney disease is often unsupported. as the kidneys have but few nerves,
and when deranged they don't give alarm by reason of pain or distress.
Any person may have an attack OF dyspepsia and attribute the disorder
to- bit of undigested beef II other slight cause. An occasional darting
pain will be experienced somewhere. 1t comes and goes often like a fash.
The victim may think there is something wrong with the air, or that the
weather has "broken its record" He has q headache; his rest is disturbed;
he cannot keep quiet: he is fdgety If he is a brain worker he lays it to
close application. At times his appetite is lost, while at others he cannot
get enough to eat. He has what he calls catarrh; he has strange misgiv-
ings; he is easily startled; he has at times a raging fever, q little p1eurisy
and congestion: he wakes in the night scarcely able to breathe, great beads
of sweat on his brow, his heart jumping wildly.
What is the trouble? An unsupported kidney disease, the kidney poison

More Puro-Breed Cattle For Georgia.

More Pure Breed Cattle For Georgia.
In our last monthly talk mention wal
made of the fundamentally of the De.
pArtment of Agriculture in connection
with other parties In bringing into
Georgia 100 short horns and Hcrefords
for the purpose of improving the breeds
Of beef cattle. Since that time two more
carloads of pure breeds have been
shipped into the state aud sold at fair
prices. All of these, like the first lot,
are young cattle. A short while ago
the prison commissioners purchased
from Mr. Murray Babcock of Vir.
ginia, 19-months-old Hereford bull
for the prison farm. The animal,
which is one of the handsomest
ever brought into the state, cost 5000.
Judge Turner is negotiating for herd
of Hereford heifers for the purpose Of
raising on the prison farm pure stock to
sell to Georgia farmers for breeding
purposes.
1t must be borne in mind that Here.
fords are raised for beef and not for
milk. The cows of this breed furnish
only enough milk to sustain calf. One
needs only to look at Hereford, with
his short legs and long body, to know
that he will furnish abundance of tho
best beef. They are well-marked
breed, easily distinguished from othei
cattle by their white heads, legs, bellies
and tails and red sides. The bulls are
very dooile and easily managed.
The live stock department is one Of
the best features of the state farm. 1t is
the intention of the commissioner to
raise on the farm not only all the meat
needed for the convicts, but also the best
breeds of cattle and hogs TO sell to the
farmers and stock raisers Of Georgia al
the lowesr possible price. State Agri

mEnp1EsoME AND FooLtsg.

An attempt is being made in Wash
ineton to pass bill obliglng the carry
in Z Of licensed pilots and engineers on
small motor launches. The bill should
be defeated. AS well might the governs
ment req 1ire an expert driver to be
employed In handling the citizens
horses. These small motors are not pub
lie carriers. They are not used for profit,
bat merely as private conveyances for
pleasure; and their owners use them at
their own risk, Just as they do their
buggy horses ard traps. To require the
employment of licensed pilots and
on gineers would put the most OF the
vessels out OF commission, but not assure
the safety of the people who continue 10
use such vessels. The Paul Jones, the
only vessel of the motor class that has
been lost in the Southern waters, had
on board licensed pilot, licensed
en- gineer and even licensed master, yet
the licenses she carried did not prevent
her going to the bottom, with all on
board. We regard the proposed bill as
of the meddlesome and vexatious kind,
not demanded by existing conditions.

SUGAR CANE CULTURE.
Information Given by the State Ag
rfcultural Department.

TiCuiturdl Department..
QUESTION. Some time since / saw il
stated that good cane could be growr
from the top third of cane. Pleast
write me II this theory can be relied on.
Any other information touching cant
culture will interest south Georgis
planters.
ANSWER. 1t has been demonstrated
by DR.. W. O. Stubs, Of the Louisiana
Sugar Experiment Station, as we'll al
other directors, that the top third of the
cane stalk is not as good, but superior
for seed purposes. DR.. Stubs recon.
mends that only this portion of the
plant be used for seed. The tops, how.
ever, should not be banked, as is the
custom where the whole cane is used fol
seed purposes. The land upon which
cane is to be grown another season
should be thoroughly prepared, and the
rows opened before grinding takes place.
1.-THE top third of the cane," says DR.
Stubbs, "should be cut off and planted
in the rows in the usual manner, but
without stripping. The tops are then
covered by means Of turning plow and
the middles opened to allow drainage
To prevent freezing the cane tops should
be covered from ) to 6 inches deep. Thii
method of seed saving is the practice Of
many farmers in Louisiana, and is NJ
longer an experiment
The Southern Farm Magazine says
that DR.. Stubs, after six years of expe.
riments with great variety of canes,
has developed sugar cane which is
capable of yielding 30 per cent more Of
sugar than the cane now grown in the
state of Louisiana. He claims that this
variety of cane will produce 38 tons to
the acre. The juice yields 16 per cen,
of sugar, while the old cane gives an
acreage of 80 to 80 tons, with 10 pei
cent yield in the juice.
Small bundles of this cane will be
furnished to planters Of Louisiana free.
Would it not be good plan for few
of our Georgia farmers to interest them
selves in this new variety of sugar cane,
which promises so much for our sister
