^ Cotton Yields Per Acre
The value of commercial fertilizers has
been demonstrated over and over again by
both government and private comparative
tests. We stand ready to demonstrate to
you at any time that the surest way to “in
crease jw/r yields per acre” is to use
Fertilizer
Hon. R. J. Redding, former Director of the Geor
gia Exp. Station, is authority for the statement that
“experiments made at this station show that well
balanced commercial fertilizer applied to one acre
of land, and w ell cultivated, may be reasonably ex
pected to produce an increase of yield of seed
cotton. At the present price of cotton this would
mean a large extra profit (for both lint and seed),
after deducting the price for fertilizer.*’
You’ll find reports of many other comparative
tests, together with much valuable infon.iation con
cerning land culture in the new Virgin ia-Carolina'
Year Book or Almanac. As.k >ou local fertilizer

CATCHING AN ALBATROSS.
Gee! How Quicklv and Neatly We Can Do Job Work
fhe Bird Enjoys the Sport and Is
Landed Uninjured.
With the birds settling by the dozen
;t is easy enough to capture specimens
for examination without causing in
jury or pain. Any sharply barbed book
Is altogether super luous. The alba
trosses absolutely enjoy the excite
ment, aud the sport obtained Is not
without u novel Interest
A small metal frame should be made
in the shape of a hollow triangle at
tached to 100 yards of stout line and
kept atloat by a good sized piece of
cork. The sides of the metal frame
are then covered w ith bits of fat pork,
the hard skin of which is securely
bound thereto The bait is thrown
astern, and the line is slow ly paid out.
Presently a great albatross swoops
through the air. Impelled by curiosity
to Investigate the nature of the float
ing pork. It settles before the dainty
morsel of food; numbers of birds fol
low suit, each one made bold by com
petition, and then the sport begins.
At this moment additional line must
be given in order to compensate for
the progressing of the ship, thus en
aiding a bird to seize the desired food.
With a sudden rush the supreme ef
fort is made. Ouce or twice the at
tempt proves ineffectual; but, reudered
bold by greediness, a final grab finds
the curved bill securely wedged inside
the apex of the triangle, as the fierce
tugs on the fine quickly indicate.
Steadily the haul is made, hand over
hand, until a helpless albatross Is bodi
ly lifted on to the poop in an absolute
ly uninjur**! condition. A slackened
line enables the bird to escape, and if
scattered wits permitted such an ef
fort sudden (light would obtain release.
The other birds Invariably commence
to attack a wounded comrade, a stead;
pull being required, even if the line
does cut your hands, to save it from
Its file s. cnee safely on deck the
mandibles are tied together, for oth
erwise -he bird throws up an oily
fiuid, a disagreeable habit possessed by
all the tribe.
Subject to tills precaution it may
wander gravtly ."round to survey the
now horiz :i < f life. The large eyes
gaze with a truly pathetic confidence
expressive of anything but fear.
it is a strange spectacle to witness
tiie inquisitive bird solemnly waddle
to and fro among the equally inquisi
tive human beings around. True, it
objects slight I; to the process of
| Measurement, pecking sharply by way
of«.protest. but a gentle box on the ear
soon induces submission as the dimen
sions are rapidly noted, the albatross
meanwhile reposing affectionately in
the arms of the second officer.
The specdmetT happens to lie a small
one, but the wing expansion from tip
to tip is less than ten feet, the extreme
length of body is three feet six inches
aud the formidable bill measures up
ward of four inches.—Cornhill Maga
zine.
MAKING A COAT.
Thirty-nine DifCintt Varieties of Work
by as Many Men.
According to the United States bn
reau of labor, the old saw “It takes
nine tailors to make a man" is filled
w ith misinform 'lion, for in reality.
Hie bureau fine’ it takes thirty-nine
men of different til des just to make a
coat under the pre cut system of shop
manufacture, for the day when one
tailor measured tl: • customer, cut out
the cloth and, with his apprentices,
shaped it into a finished and pressed
garment lias practically passed. To
day all one tailor may do through his
entire life is to mark the place where
buttons are to be sewed on. Another
man never marks places for buttons.
His specialty is to mark buttonholes.
A third man spends the long day in
sewing on buttons, a fourth in mik
lug buttonholes. Men who sow sleeve •
do not make armholes. The armhole
men give place to shoulder shapers,
and these last do not touch collars,
which are a distinct specialty. Even
the men who manipulate the tailor',
goose are divided into pre sets of
seams, edges, linings, sleeves aud coat
pressers. The basters stick to one dis
tinct specialty of lasting, and n sep
arate functionary, the basting puller,
undoes their work. Even the coat
strap Is a separate province. So that
when the coat is finished it represents
thirty-nine distinct varieties of work
by as many men. And when a man
finally puts on the coat he is wearing
the product of 312 fingers and seventy-
eight thumbs, not counting the digits
of those who sheared the sheep, wove
the cloth, dyed it. finished it, shipped
it ami cut it nor tin* Ink stained clerical
hands which kept a book record of all
the processes. Probably from sheep
to wearer the coat was handled by at
least 3,(X)0 fingers. -New York Tribune
HEALS
OLD S ORES
No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at th;. ; partic
ular spot; if this were true simple cleanliness and local application • would
heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the bio >d is at
fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which a:e being
constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and
irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cann >t heal.
These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional
trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disea; • germs
in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter
which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause
may he hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down b.
posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows
the iicee.-sity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing
that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment.
Every symptom suggests pollution
and disease—the discharge, the red,
angry looking flesh, the pain and in-
flatr.nn lien, and the discoloration of
surround Eg parts, all show that deep
down in the 1 flood there are morbid
and dangerous forces at work, con
stantly creating poisons which may
in the end lead to Cancer. Local
applications ace valuable only for
their cleansing and antiseptic effects;
they do not reach the blood, where
the real cause is located, and can
therefore have no real curative worth.
S. S. S. heals old sores by gjing down
to the fountain-head of the trouble
and driving ont the poison-producing
germs and morbid matters which are
keeping the ulcer open. It removes every partfrde of impurity from the cir
culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then
as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge
ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed,
and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri
fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi
tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

I want to recommend S. S. S. to any who an
in need of a blood purifier,"and especially at a
remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877
I had my leg bcdly cut on the sharp ed{e of a
barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking
the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A
great sore formed and for years no one knows
what I suffered with the place. I tried, U
seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of,
but I got no relief and I thought I would have
to go through life with an angry, discharging
sore on my leg. At last I began the use of
S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw
that the place w:ts improving. I continued it
until it remt ved alt the poison from ray blood
and made a complete and permanent cure of
the sore. JRO. ELLIS.
