Many ani mals, just like human beings, have in digestion or the syctam is all run down and a tonic is needed. |t is not the a mount ol loo ! eaten that makes muscle and fat.

EDITOR OF THE SUMTER Illili ALI) On a recent visit io the State Farm thc following condition ol idfiirs pre sented themselves under the most efficient and painstaking care ol its worthy Sup crintent Col. D J. Griffith, ot' Columbia. He. has on each tann 300 acr^s in cit? ton and it is a sale calculation and is postively stated that Without a mishap lo the crop, he will gather 600 balee ot 500 pounds each. This visitor has traveled considerably throughout the State and is a very large planter himself, his princi pal topic ot convcrsaiion^being crops, which he admires thc beauty ol almost equal to lair women-both being productions of Nature-and asserts that, without ex ception, this tarni is a paragon of excellence beyond compare with any in the State. Aside (rom the lact that the cot'.on is generally so very good, there is a 40 acre field on the DeSaussure side on which a special lest wis made with 'Peruvian guano." Previous to this year it has been impossible to ptoducc any crop thal tvould make a satisfactory yield on this land, it hardly paying tb plant cotton on it; being light soil and full of nut grass They used in producing thc handsome crop this year 400 pounds' Peruvian guano under the cotton and -J ?0 around crop, This 40 acres ot cotton held its color well, dark green, all dining thc hot dry spell ol May and greater part ol Jone and as soon as rain commenced it shot out, and iias grown beyond expectation-it is loaded with fruii, and i. lite handsomest piece of cotton on that farm and 2,000 pounds ol seed cotton lo ihc acre will bc a conservative estimate of the yield On the adjoining farm there is the same size tract-though bette! ?and- whole only 400 pounds Peruvian guano was used and it is sale io est?male an equal yield on this 40 acres. This is also as tine a piece of colton u-> can be shown on either farm. Aside from the cotton crop ami notwithstanding toe Faci thai lhey hist all plant ing ol tail oats and had it replanted in spring iii hopes ol making a spring crop, A'hich they did not get tn until late in the spring, they made a magnificent crop ol'oats and have threshed and have now in bulk in their capaci?n -, harn-; probab ly io.ooo bushels The production ol grain on these farm; is always in excess of teciuiremeuts. and ol late years they have gone extensively into 1 lising mules lor their own use They now have some 25 head of young motes Irom 1 to 3 yeats old, some of which areal work. On a whole both li rms are a iriodel'ol up&tojj late, progressive tanning. VISITOR. Sumter, S, C., August IS, 0904. HM ICIES !
