T. J. Norrell, V. P. Bank of Cotton wood, Tex, writes: Beyond doubt I have received great relief and take great pleasure in recommending Fo- ley Kidney Pills. Kidney trouble makes one worried and hopeless, by aches, pains, soreness, stiffness, back ache, rheumatism. These symptoms, as we'll as sleep disturbing bladder disorders, yield quickly to Foley Kid ney Pills. They cast out poisons and purify the blood. ?

1. THE USE OF COMMERCIAL FER TlLIZERS-HiSTORY. '

TiLIZERS-HiSTORY.
 We would not be disposed to try to give a complete history of the use of commercial fertilizers, but only tc show how this great industry began and grew in the Southern United States. Generally speaking the far mers of this generation inherited the habit of applying fertilizers to soils. but have not been taught the underly- ing principles of the industry.
 The use of some kind of manures on soils with crops for the purpose of in- creasing the yields goes back to an cient times. We know that many an cient people applied animal manures to their soils for this purpose. The Chinese centuries ago. applied ma nures of various kinds to their soils and gardens and with phenomenal re- : suits. h Won Tshudvs Travels .n Pc. ru we ind that as early as the middle of the last century notes were being taken on the actual value of Guano by the Peruvians
 Bousingault speaks of seeing fields in Peru on which wheat had been grown every year for two centuries, and the yield still high and the grow CTS prosperous.
 The practice of using mineral ferti. izers was introduced direct from Pc m the United States in the year lS46, and was based on such reports as we find above. It had already been used in England before it found it's way into the United States, but Peru seems to be the country in which the application of minerals to soils as plant food originated. We do not know this is true, but all evidence points to this. It is of greater interest to us therefore that we know about the customs in Peru
 The first man in the Southern States to use this Peruvian guano was David Dickson. of Sparta. Ga, who saw an advertisement of it in the old Ameri. can Farmer published in Baltimore. The South has perhaps never had a more successful farmer than David ? Dixon, who made many millions of dollars farming, and who was pio- neer in many other lines as we'll as in the use of mineral fertilizers. In the year 1S46. the year after it was intro duced into the United States, he bought three sacks and used 1t, and on find ing that 1t paid him, bought 1t in in- ciner vi and 1856. when he went into it fully As Is suggested above this is no doubt the first instance of the use of a con. centrated mineral fertilizer on cotton ln the United States.
 The universal success with which MT Dickson met in the use of this Pc ruvian guano led many other prom nent farmers to follow his example and in every reported case, success followed it's use. We are constrained to believe that the way that the aDp,i cation of this mineral fertilizer to the cotton anu other crops in the South could not possibly have been an acci- dent It's success was unquestionably based on the actual needs of the soll. A quickly available manure was wnst the crop needed, and when this was once applied results were evident.
 After time it was found that the Peruvian guano. which contained prin- cipally nitrogen, produced too much stalk and not much increase in the Yield of fruit and hence it's use was somewhat discouraged for season.

ON coNFIscArIon.

Ono cf the arguments against pro hib.tion is that it confiscates property. It has been we'll pointed out that this argument overlooks the fact that pro- hibition does not take from the brew. srs. distillers and saloon keepers . loot of ground that they own or . single brick out of any of their build ings. They have their property just as they had 1t before, but they cannot use it for the same purpose. However. there are other purposes for which it can be used. When the saloon ia oriVen out the building can be used TOT the sale of things that are helpful. ana the buildings now used for distil- ieries and breweries can be utilized TOT other business enterprises. as they nave been in states that have adopted prohibition. with distinct profit to the oroperty owners.
