Two gentlemen, unknown to*him,- took

their meal he plainly ^overheard their

jmrch?bVof fin? cotton which lie had
made the day before and gave the price.

was his own. He -was surprised. be

would have been better had such a man
been sent where h? belongs. Now,
unless the honest merchants of New
Orleans (and' we know there are many
such) join in the in the crusade against
the tbieves in their calling, they will
fall with them. The commercial ex

farmers'have had similar'experience's "to
the above, as New Orleans is not the
only place where dishonest cotton factors
are foand.
Different Ends of Manure.
To care for and apply the different
kinds of manure produced on any
oi?itfary farm to the best .ad vio rage, is
no simple matter. French' farniers
have a proverb : 4It is not he that
sows, bnt he that manures well, that
gets the crop/ Not merely to manare
largely, bat .'well,' is the problem.
The products of the stable, cow-hoase
pig-pen and sheep fold differ in xnanu
rial value and in composition, and are,
therefore, adapted to different uses.
Agriculturists of experience have laic
down the general rule that horse
manare is the most valuable on stiff,
clayey soil?; that of cows and oxen
most suitable to soils that are very
light and dry ; while the contents of
the pig-sty and sheep-fold arc very
improving to meadow land?, but should
be avoided in the cultivation of vege
tables for cooking purposes, to which
they often impart a rank odor. The
genera! sensible practice on an ordinary i
farm of mixing the various kinds o? j
snanurc in one l?rsp jg ;ju.j to the tac: j
that what is lacking in otre kind is
supplemented by the qualities of another
sort, making a good fertilizer for an
average arable soil, in - hieb neither
stitT clay nor dry sand predominates,
it will pay any farmer, however, to
jtudy the special uses of each kind of
farm manure. Then he will know
where to put manares to get their j
greatest value out of them, as well as j
bow best to fertilize particular lands!
and crops.

Restlessness That Ruins

of this phantom of bettering one's self
?homes which can never fee really re
stored to the family, for beine is some
thing more than the roof which shelters
us. The associations of childhood, the
riends of early davs, .the memories of
the past, the ancestral graves upon the

Why Uielhat three bottles of B.B.B, are sold

?vitnesses. Six houses in Atlanta are buying
3.B.B. in five and ten gross lojts, and some*of
