The prices paid for cotton this year should thoroughly convince every cot ton planter that the only way for them to maintain high. prices is by keeping the crop down to ab-ut 6,000, 000,000 bales. A crop of that dutubrr of bales next year will bring a great deal more than the Samr .number of bales bring this year, for the reasor that a surplus exists from the big cropi of preceding years and for the additional reason that the anticipation of a big acreage next spring now give: a prc text for holding the price of the present crop down. If the farmert nex spring will systemaically redure the acreage, cotton held to that titmsE will necessarily advance. This is a very critical period it growing cotton, and dangers are aheac unless the eot ton farmers avuid them b3 pursuing the only secsib'e and reason able course open to them, and that it persistently and systematically plan less cotton than they did in 1895. Tb temptation to plant large crops is ver] great, and it will not be surprising tE find many a planter's head turned bi high prices, and still less surprising will it be to find these same planter forced to sell their cotton next yeat for six or seven cents, and, possibly for five cents. The difficeulty of get ting the planters to make a straigh horizontal reduction i< fully appre ciated, and without orghiz-ution it i practically impossib!e. They shosl4 remember, however, that a most thor ough and powerful organ!z it ion exist to keep prices down, and the power o: this 'oiganization can only be met b: organizatio. - cut nown cotton acreage. It wil I not do to depend on the very uncertain bad seasons and worms in Texas to reduce the crop. We have no d->ubt that the efforts last year to reduce the crop did good. but by far tbe greater cause for the higher p rice of this year was due to bad sr-ans in Texas. Fairfield County tmight start tL e nucleus for a State organization, and the S.'.ate organizafion mnight induce a systematic movement all over the South-. It is only three or four months now until the planting season will be upon us, and if the matter is not thor oughly agitated, every white man and every negro, who can get an animal to pull a plow, will cultivate every acre possible in cotton. That means ruin next fall as sure as the snu -shall shine It does seem that past experience should teach this lesson, so forcibly taught for so many years. What will the Southern cotton planter do abont-it? In Poor Health means so much more than you imagine-serious and fatal diseases result from trifling ailments neglected.

Can hog cholera be cured? and, if so, what remedy will restore the diseased animals to health? These are the first questions asked by the swine-grower, and to his mind this should be the objective point of all investigations. With all diseases of this class, however, prevention is cheaper and in every way more satisfactory than medical treatment. The great aim of the Government and the fauimers should be, therefore, to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Every swine grower should use the utmost pre cautions to prevent the introduction of these plagues into his herd In spite of such preventive measures many herds will become infected. Until the Federal Government or the individual States enforce measures of eradication, it is, consequently, legit imate to ask and to answer the ques tion as to the proper medical treat ment. Befote formulating this treatment it .should be explained thPt a remedy which will care every ca?e is not to be expected. There has rever been dis covered a remedy for a single one of the infectious diseases of man or eni mals which will cure every individual attached. Some forms of these di seases are so violent and rapid that the animals are dead almost hetore they are observed to be s:ck. Under such conditiors there is not time for the most active remedy to produce a beneficial efcct. In many outbreaks the type of the malady is less viru'eut a'id th re is time to treat the anima's xfier they are sick, and also the whole hetd after some member- of it have .h .wn that they a--e disea4ed. For a long time after begi:ining the investigations of the infectious diseases of swine, the writer was doubtful if any remedy or combination of remedies could be made which would produce a'iy marked effect. The experiments of the last year, however, indicate that treatment=if properly applied may be successful. With the assistance of Dr. E. A. de Schweinitz, chemist of the Bureau, and Dr. V. A. Norgaard, in spectot, a number of formulas have been developed aid u=ed in the fie!ld with good re,ults. The most effictcious formuta which has been tried is the following: routn-3. Wood charcoal................ Sulphur................... Sodium chloride............. Sodium bicarbonate............ Sodinm hyposulphite............. Sodium sulphate .............. - -] Antimony sulphide.............. These ingredients should be com p'etely pulverized and thoroughl. mixed. Th" dose of this mixture is a larg( tablespoonful for each 200 poundi .weight of hogs to he treated, and i should be given only once a day -When hogs are aff'ecte'd with thesi diseases they should not be fed on cort -alone, but they should have at teas once a day soft feed, made by mixins Sbran and middlings, or. middlings anc) Icorn meal, or ground oats and corn -or crushed wheat with hot water, ani then stirring into this the proper quan tity of the medicine. Hogs are fond of this mixture, it increases their appe: ti:e, and when they once taste of foot Jwith which it has been mixed the: exercised in drenching hogs or they will be suffocated. Do not turn the hog on its back to drench it, but pull the cheek away from the teeth so as t.o for-m a pouch, into which the medi eine may be slowly poured. It will fio;v from the cheek into the mouth, and wihea the hog finds out what it is, it will btop squealing and swallow In our experiments hogs which were so sick that they would eat not hinig have commenced to eat very soon after getting a dose of the remedy, and have steadily improved until they appeared perfectly well This medicine may also be used as a preventive of these diseases, and for this purpose should be put in the feed of the whole herd. Care should of e.ourse be observed to see that each animal receives its proper share In ca-es where it has been given a fair trial, it has apparently cured most of the animals which were sick and has stopped the progress of the disease in the herds. It also appears to be an excellent appetizer and stimulant of the processes of digest ion and assimi tation, and when givent to unthrifty hogs it increases the appetite, cause's them to take on flesh, and assume a thrifty appearance. Old People. Old people who require medicine to regt.late the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electrie Bitters. This medicine does not stimulate and con tains no whiskey nor other intoxicant, but act, as a tonic and alt retive. It acts mitd!y on tl'e stomach and bowels, adding strength arad giving tone to the c' gans, thereby aiding Nature in the performance of the furections. Electric Bitters is an ex.-lent appetizer and aids digestion. Dld People find it just exactly what they n*e'l.
