The Crawford Cotton- What ?ood Farming Can Do. . ~~ Some two or three weeks ago a stalk of cotton.waa sent to the Regis ter office from the farm of Mr. J. M. Crawford, on the outskirts o? the city. The stalk was gathered from an acre 5 planted to itself,;sari contained two hundred and twenty-five bolls,-and it was stated that tha'acre would yield four 450 pound "bales of lint cotton. .To some this statement may have seemed an exaggeration, or sn 'over estimate, but "that it is strictly within hounds can be vouched fot by many persons who have visited-Mr. Craw lord's farm and seen the cotton now open ia- the .field. . Oflil^sdo'esday -afternoon we made a personal inspection of the acre and can ajdd pur testimony to ?hat of oth ere^no liave seen*th4- cotton.- * The stalk onVoxhibition at the Register of fice is "merely an average stalk,' and the whole acre is made up of just such one^' 'Each jtalk ia the acre is-coy erea with Bolls, and they are all open, or about to open, and---the result, at tained has been reached by" care-' ful cultivation and judicious- selec tion of soil. This is not the first year that Mr. Crawford has hack a large yieldr of cotton. We. were* shown the $2.00 silver pitcher tKat -; was* aw?r?ed him by the Charleston Chamber o Ccmmerce in 1S69 for the best ten baleB mo 'e in the State, and were also shown ivto ;silver . goblets awarded him by,lhe Slate Agricultural Society fer th?jargest yield.in one and."fiv? acres. In 1S70 he was awarded a $500 premium by Mr. John T. Cheatham of Jefferson County, Georgia, for the largest yield on one^acro. Mr. Cheat ham also paid hiiu--?360 for-thirty six baahels of sued. Mr. Crawford has hge'n^improving.his seed year by yearinntil it is lae best in use. We were shown testimonials from several gentlomen^of Jhis State stating that they hadite?ted this seed side by side with other varieties, and/or quality of staple and fruitfulness they?-'had found it to be absolutely without a peer. On account of an accident -thot;h^s confined him to. his house for s?v$ral months, Mr. CravPforJ has this year labored under many disadvantages, hud has not- been able to give that fclose personal'' supervision to his {arming interests which has always "axftt'.tenbtii'a, bu^ITe las still be?n able to reach the results \we have mentioned ; and that he has ' preached them uncfer such disadvan tages is a practical proof of the fact that his seed is all that he claims it to be. The Best Hog for the South. The Savannah Sunday 'Telegrc&n announces that Col. iticharel Peters, of Ga., one of the most experienced stock raisers in the country, in re sponse to inquiries, says the Berkshire, as improved, appears to be well adapt ed to the wants of the Southern people. This is cautious speaking on - th_c subject, and coming from so ex perienced a ^breeder, " leaves more thtn the mero shadow of a doubt. The improved Berkshire is, doubtless, the best adapted to the Southern people'iaTaong the breeds tested by Mr. Pei*?r?7 aud the points being good, he can-^ell-say this breed "appears^ to be.-efc.-.But there is a better breed for theikmth, in our humble opinion, a nameless breed, and for the small farmer o^the South, without a peer. Thia b?ee? combines all the good points claimed for the Berkshire, withot^^Kj^bad, especially tbe dis positic?J?.go wild in the forests. It is thusobtained : Cross the Big Guinea with pure..Essex, and' from this stock selected- breeding sows for the im proved Berkshire males. The result will ajaswer every requirement of the Southern farmer. THE ?I^ANEST. AND BEST.-The Atlanfar Obj^li?uijon says; ." After all; the money'made by farming is fhe cleanest,, best, money in^the world. It is made in accordance with God's first law, under honest, genial influences, away from the taint of. trade, or the fierce heat of speculation. It fills the pockets of the farmer at the' expense of no other man Iiis gain is no manVlpssV-but ?l o more he makes the better for the world at ..large.

Although the corrosive acids, mineral medicines and poisons are found to pos sess the power to palliate chronic afflic tions ana allay the symptoms of the vari ous chronic maladies, yet the dangerous nature of these powerful agents prevent their internal use for a period sufficient to produce a cure. For if we should per severe m their use for any extended time we would endanger the general health if not the life of our patient Therefore to expel the fatal causes or. germs of chronic diseases we are necessitated to resort to "Nature's own remedie?," Botanic or Vegetable Medicines, to cleanse the blood j and organ isms of all germs of disease. With the assurance that we can use them days, weeks or years without the slight est injury to our patients. On the con trary, many times we lind vegetable medicines quito tqual to nutritious food and drink to the sick. In Europe the great and learn.d Drs. Villmen, Rudolph Coch, L. Pasture,.and score? of other tminent phy-icians have adopted Botanic or Vegetable medicines with such remarkable results, that it is revolutionizing the former theories and practice of medicino the world over. Heneo Dra. Wright and Lapyre, Aleo pathic Physicians, through experience in hundreds of extreme chronic cases in the past many 3 ears' practice in large cities, have had abundant proo's of the great value of Botanic or vegetable medi cines, and have adopted it exclusively in their practice. Through the above potent principios in medicine Drs. Wright and Lapyre are enabled to permanently relieve or cure every case of Asthma.

The same can be said of Epithlioma occurring upon the lips, nose and face Dre. Wright ?fe Lapyre remove all ex ternal cancers, when presented in the first or second stages without surgery, pain, hemorrhage or danger, without 11 single failure, when presented in tho above stages. Please bear in mind that whilo all cases are strictly curable in the 1st and 2d stages, all are imperatively incurable in the third or last stage as the germs have infiltrated or passed generally through the system, and have attacked the vital organisms. Hence do not delay, but come at once and you will obtain a per manent, painless cure and be saved from the most hopeless, agonizing sn tiering and perhaps from a premature grave.
