Diamonds and the South.

No excitement has followed the sug.
gestion of an expert that diamond
mines may be developed in the south
The explanation is obvious. Within
the $4,000 square miles of the south
are sources of wealth far greater thar
all the diamond mines in the world.
The estimated value of all the dia,
monds now owned is 81 900, 600 900. The
last two cotton crops in the south have
brought the growers ct least 81 ,200, ,00O,-
900, S200, 100000 more than the total
value Of the known diamonds owned.
The average annual value of southern
cotton and cottonseed during the past
five years has been $3.50, ,Oo0, 900, several
millions greater than the total value
of diamonds n.ined in the South Afri
can fields since they were opened more
than generation ago.
Moreover, last years corn crop II
the south was valued at 1870, ,OO0, ,000--as
least ten times the value Of the annual
production of diamonds IN the rough;
and the value Of its wheat crop $685.
00,000, and of its hay crop, $54, ,OOo, 900,
We're each close upon twice the value
ut the yearly diamond output.
Even the value cf the annual produc-
ton of the south's dushy diamonds
throws that of the precious stones into
the shade.
Why should the south bother about
digging diamonds when the value Of
its annual agricultural, manufacturing
and mineral products is sufficient to
buy all the diamonds in the world.

A Needless we.te.

Much of the cotton which has been
brought to town recently has been bad.
ly damaged by exposure to the wealth
er, and in consequence has not brought
the best prices or has been heavily
docked in weight.
In some instances the losses thus
caused have been heavy, amounting to
ten or fifteen dollars bale. Why peo.
pie will not take care of their proper
ty-why they will deliberately throw
away good hard-earned moneys hard
to understand. It would have been
business to have sold cotton at cents
last fall when cotton was in good con-
dition and had the use of the money
till now than to have allowed the cot
ton to lie in the rain all the winter and
sell It now for no more money than Il
would have brought then.
OF course good, clean, dry cotton has
been bringing good price. ten cents
and over, but bad cotton can never
bring nothing but bad price. Some
farmers could have made $25 day by
properly housing their cotton at the
right time.-Summerville (Ga.) News.

The pain was in my joints and my
suherings for over two years was beyond
description. There was an intense pain
in my shoulders that prevented me from
sleeping and would get up and walk
the floor at Eight. When began taking
DIR. Williams Pink Pills the improve
ment was gradual, but by the time I had
taken four boxes I was entirely cured
and have not had the slightest touch
Of rheumatism since that time"
Mr.. Wagar's wife is also enthusiastic
In her endorsement of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. She says: II have tried the
pills myself for stomach trouble and

THE VALUE OF THE s1Lo.
Twenty Per Cent. Added to the
Feeding Value of Corn by Cut.
ting and SLIDING 1t.

We have contended for years that
the United States. with its great corn
plant, has the bulge ON the entire
world in the production of meat or
dairy products, and the experiments
which have been made by different
stations show that 20 per cent. at least
can be added to the value by the corn
crop by sioling it. Many of our read
ers no doubt are aware that Fayette
and Madison counties, in Ohio, carry
on some very large feeding operations.
Humphrey Jones is large feeder who
has on his farms silo capacity of about
5000 tons, and has been adding to the
capacity from year to year. Three or
four years ago Mr.. Jones wrote us that
after carefully weighing the steers.
weighing the silage and estimating ten
tons of silage to the acre, he estimated
the feeding value Of an acre of corn
at $40. A bunch of fifty steers was
bought and divided in two lots Of
Is each on the farm of Mr.. Funk, in
Mclean county, ILL., Half Of them were
fed on silage, hay and grain, the other
half On shock corn right from the
field, hay and grain. The ensilage-fed
steers were followed by one shote in
starving condition, the other steers fed
on shock corn were followed by sew
eral shotes which continued to thrive
and gain. This demonstrates to our
mind that the siloing of corn in meas
ure cooks it; that is fermentation goes
on, and really the first steps Of diges-
ton are taken right in the silo itself.
For the amount OF money invested
We hold that there never was an i'm.
provement put on farm that will earn
more money than a good silo. It is an
insurance policy, it might be said, be-
cause man with good silo can save
his clever crop in catchy weather; he
can feed it out during the hot, droughty
weeks of August and Septebmer.-Cor

EGGS IN WINTER.
Conditions to BE Observed II the
Hens Are to BE Induced to
Lay I'm Winter.

think there are many factors that
enter into the production of eggs in
winter, any one of which, if lacking,
is apt to lessen the yield. In the first
place, we must have fowls that are
at laying maturity when winter comes;
pullets that have reached their full
size and hens that are in condition to
lay all through moulting and not too
fat.
I have found very little difference
IN winter-laying qualities Of Plymouth
Rocks, Langshans and Leghorns under
conditions favorable to each brood.
Leghcrns will produce eggs at less food
cost, but require better house con-
ditioas, and must not be allowed to
run out in the cold and wet. The hens
or pnllets must be from laying strain.
and every detail of housing, feeding
and care well looked to in order to
serc'l.e winter eggs.
snail not discuss methods of feed
ing, as this subject has been fully
treNed, but In order to bring hens to
laying in winter requires considerable
care. Yet proper feeding is not the
whole thing. Other requirements must
be met, or the best food in the world
will not make hens lay. The neglec:
of seemingly unimportant matters will
often greatly lessen, and sometimes
completely check, laying.
II hens are not protected they will
burn the food rp to keep warm; will
not exercise as much as is necessary;
consequently will not lay. They mus.
be protected from cold winds; have
plenty Of fresh air and sunshine, dry.
