THE COTTON ACREAGE.
N, O. Times-Democrat.
Tho Memphis Appoal calls at-
tention to the general expression
on the part of planters and others
in favor of a reduction in the acre-
age in cotton and a smaller crop,
and declares that the very univer-
sality of]the demand convinces it
that tho next crop will be larger
than evor. Whenever planters
tell each other and their merchants
that there is an overproduction of
cotton, that cotton raising is a los-
ing business at present prices, and
that thoy intend to reduce tho
acreage one-half this year, it may
be accepted as an unfailing sign of
a still larger crop. Throughout
the entire cotton-producing region
the planters are discouraged on
account of tho present ruinious
price of cotton, and they jointly
resolve to reduce tho production.
Each believes the other in earnest,
and fancying that tho small amount
raised will command fabulous
prices, all increase instead of di-
minishing their acreage, and ihe
result is overproduction and a loss
instead of gain, The more tho
planters adviso the planting of less
cotton and more grain and grasses,
the greater is tho acreage of the
Southern staple and the smaller
the price obtained tor it. This is
the experience of twenty years
and promises to be the experience
of twenty more unless some practi-
cal steps are taken to reduce the
acreage instead of vague pledges
that amount to nothing. This is
the only solution of the problem.
Despite tho fact that tho South
still maintains a virtual monopoly
otthis product, that the crop com-
mands gold throughout the world
and the industry of spinning is ox-
tending, tho price of the staple
constantly decreases and is likely
to still further decrease until the
Southern farmers loam that the
first necessity ot farming is to be
independent and self-su.Gaining.
Advice from agricultural conven-
tions and cotton exchangos is good,
as showing public sentiment; but
we very much foar something
more energetic than this is needed
to assure a decreased acreage, bet-
ter prices and greater profit.

as for a girl to gossip, this assures
a full supply during tho entire 40

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
American Farmer,
Our most successful farmers are
those who work hardest at manual
labor; they work nevertheless,
with all their enegies. None are
exompted from labor; but in all it
is not equally well applied and di-
rected. If we take any two men,
physically equal, the one will ac-
complish most who excels in brain
power. Therefore, let that small
enclosuro within his own skull be
cultivated as assiduously and as
carefully by the faimer as is his
choicest crop. Whatever farming
may have been in the past, the
time has como when the highest
intelligence is demanded as a ne-
cessary qualification on the part
of tho agriculturist.
Book-farmers, however, is de-
scried, and "farmers are not a
reading class." We on our part,
neither underrate tho practical
knowledge, nor overrate the im-
portance ot the scientific study of
farming. Tho one is needful to
the other, and science is futile if it
does not halp practice to do its
work better and cheaper. But
there is a great want in most of
our farm houses, and that is the
almost entire absence of agricul-
tural litorature both in book and
periodical form. The volumes one
most expects to sec on a tarmer's
tablo are generally conspicuous by
thoir absence; and will it be be-
lieved, there is many a farmer
who does not take the agricultural
newspaper. Boys and girls grow
up on tho farm, and spend those
years which will so much influence
their future lives without ever
once being led to realize the great-
ness of what is before them. They
grow up, too, without a taste lor
reading, and so miss a never failing
source of happiness, not to speak
of mental culture and refinement.
For all this, the want of suitable
books and papers on the farm
house table is to be blairaed. The
bodily toilers come in thoroughly
wearied, and oiton with a longing
for relaxation of some kind; but
there is no papor, and no interest-
ing volume that they can turn to.
and so thoy live within themselves,
as it were, and, in too many cases,
sleep away their existence.
But just let the young farmer
think for a moment of the forces,
tho properties, principles, in-
fluences, the law—develops and un-
developes—with which he must
como in contact and understand if
he would succeed. So far from
being less dependent upon the arts
and sciences than those engaged in
other occupations, tho tarmor
Stands in need of a far wider range
of knowlodgo than is requisite in
almost any other business. And
farming need not prove the unva-
rj'ing round and monotonous life
it is often said to bo; for every
operation, on tho farm is an in-
centive to inquiro and stimulant
to thought. Men of ono idea can-
not succeed in farming, and those
engaged in it, the young especially,
should loso no opportunity of ad-
ding to their present stock of ideas
by reading, by investigating for
themselves, and through inter-
course with others.
In order that our town may have the best

ton & Nash have ngreod to seff Acker's

hence they guarantee them to cure always,

Twenty-five years ago a young
Scotchman named Garrick went
to Australia, leaving his wife be-
hind him. After some years she
heard that ho was dead and came
to Hamilton, Canada, with her
litte son, and there married Mr.
Nicholson. Six years ago he died.
Meanwhile Garrick, who had not
died, returned to Scotland with a
nice little fortune and began hunt-
ing for his wife. Two woeks ago
she received a letter from him,
and $ week ago he joined her in
Hamilton and they were again
regularly and lawfully married.

No Boon that Science has Conferred
Has been firought with greater blessings than
that which has accrued to the inhabitants of
malarial ridden portions of she United States
and the Tropics from the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The experience of many
vears has but too clearly demonstrated the
inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to ef-
fectually combat the progress of intermittent,
conjestive and bilious remittent fevers, while
on the other hand, it has been no less clearly
shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine
congenial to the frailest constitution, and de-
rived from purely botanic sources, affords a
reliable safeguard against malaria 1 disease,
and arrest it when developed. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general
debility and renal inactivity, it is also a most
efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are
improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors
from the blood, ana enriches a circulation
mpoverished by mal-assimilation.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.
For over six ears I have been a terrible
sufferer from a troublesome kidney com-
plaint, for the relief of which I have spent
over $250 without benefit; the most noted so
called remedies proved failures. The use of
ono single bottle of B. B. B. has been marve-
lous. giving more relief than all other treat-
ment combined. It is a quick cure, while
others, if thoy cure at all, are in the distant
future.
