kEGRp FARMERS.

The bulletin of negro statistics re-
Gently issued by the census bureau,
shows that there were In the United
States in 1900, 746,717 farms operated
by negroes. of which 1854 were in-
proved by buildings. These farms con-
tanned 3s.233,933 acres. or 5s,741 square
miles. an area about equal to that OF the
state of Georgia, or that of New Eng
land: 23.362.79S acres. or 81 per cent
OF the total area. was improved for
farming purposes. The total value of
property on these farms was s9s4S.-
734, OF which s324,244.ss7 represented
the value of land and improvements,
s7I .ao3.3i5 that of buildings, $685.
757 that of implements and machinery,
and SS4.936,265 that Of live stock. The
gross value of all products on farms OF
negroes in 1893 WAS $2t5,751, lao. OF
this sum. however, S25,S4S.44S repre-
sents products fed to live stock, the
value of which reappears and is to that
extent duplicated in the reported value
of animal products such as meat, milk,
butter. eggs, and poultry; subtracting
this amount we have a net value Of
Sa2a,s07, 702, or AZ per cent of the totai
gaiue of farm property IN farms culti-
waited by negroes. This sum represents
the gross income. The total expendi-
ture for labor on farms of negroes in
1899 was ss,7ss.T92, and the expendi-
lure for fertilizers was $5,6l4.s44, more
than one-half the farms cultivated by
negroes were in the four states of
mississippi, South Carolina. Alabama,
and Georgia.
The figures are important in their
bearing upon the agricultural prosper
ity and possibilities of the south. The
negro is poor farmer, but he culti-
ates large proportion Of the agri-
.uitural sections of the black belt. The
future of the agricultural south is
vastly dependent upon the future Of the
negroes. II they are 10 remain llhterale
and imbruted, the farms of the south
must suffer the lack Of intelligent
and cultivation. No farm
produces above the intelligence and in
dustry of the man who manages and
tills 1t.
The south should burn more weeds
and fewer negroes. Instead of resent
ing negro prosperity it should encour-
age the race to accumulate property
Instead of repelling as an upstart mig
ger the black man who paints his
house, it should encourage him to make
The showing of the
agriculturally employed negroes is full
of hope.

NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICA
SCIENCE.

sl, For years it has been the practice of med.
/ Eal men to treat patients suffering from piles
Ay local, external applications. These treat
1nents give but temporary relief, but have
keyer affected positive cure.
After months of research and study, &C
kompanied by actual experience with various
patients, DR.. C. A. Perrin arrived at posi-
live conclusion as to the exact action of the
Various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
Aanous prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter
Aal remedy known as DR.. PERKINS, PILE
sEPEclF1c, which is put up in bottles, retail
Ing at all reliable drug stores for $1.o0 each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
Ret for the past ten years, and in all of that
3ime there has been but three cases where
s0ositive cure has not beer effected.
DR.. Perrin's Pile Specific is sold under a
,sbositiye guarantee by the druggist making
1he sale, to refund the full purchase price,
6royiding the remedy fails to cure. This is
6he absolute proof Of its merit. Any man
u woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
tching or internal piles can try this internal
Remedy with the absolute certainty that it
Vii cost nothing unless II cures. Here is

skim Milk For Hogs.

The testimony on the value of skim
milk for hogs as a food is convincing.
Hogs when fed milk and grain required
much less dry matter TO make a pound
OF gain than hogs fed on milk alone.
The average experiments show 100
pounds OF milk to be equal to about "a
pounds OF grain. In the Colorado ex-
periments the hogs fed on milk and
rain gained more than twice as much
per day and required but little more
