Agriculture.
The planter, by raising his own sup
plies instead of purchasing food and
forage produced by others, puts into
his own pocket the profit they would
hare made, and which is considerable,
for when he raises all cotton he gener
ally gets his supplies from a dealer on
time, the dealer charging him hand
somely for the time accommodation,
besides a profit on the supplies which
have already paid one toll to the pro
ducer who sold them to'the dealer.
An exchange says: One of the Brit
ish cotton kings informed an agent to
Manchester from Fall River, Massa
chusetts, that the English cotton man
ufacture was “in its infancy that
sixteen mills were going up at Oldham;
that the cotton machinery makers had
orders eight months ahead, and that
the watchful British trader to-day
scatters thousands of pieces of cottons
along barbarian coasts, where last year
he sold almost none.
A single grain of barley was planted
by an agriculturist in the Isle of Man,
in 1872, and the same year produced
three hundred grains. These were sown
and the second year’s produce was
about half a pint. These were again
sown, and the third year’s produce was
fourteen pounds, which being again
sown have realized last year about
seven bushels, covering a space of oue
hundred yards by five. Thus there
has been produced in four years seven
bushels of barley from a single grain.
To be a perfect farmer a man should
combine reading, observation and prac
tice. A man may work in the fields
all his life and be a poor farmer. We
should gain knowledge by reading and
study, and also by what we see around
us, and then this knowledge must be
put into practice. Our views, if they
will not stand the test of actual exper
iments, are worthless. All sound the
ory is based upon practice, and all sen
cible practice is the result of well
grounded information, whether learned
by our own observation, or the experi
ence of others. That theory which will
not stand the test of experience is
worthless, and that practice which is
not based upon sound theory is equally
Worthless.
The following metals and minerals
are to be fouud in Georgia soil. What
a magnificent future presents itself be

Me. Paraf, a French scientist,
thinks he has discovered a means of
avoiding the necessity for rain, know
ing that the air is full of moisture,
and that the chloride of calcium would
attract and condense it, for cultural
purposes, he applied this chloride on
sand-hills and road-beds, on grass,
and on all sorts of soils, suc
cessfully, and has ascertained that
it may be applied in such propor
tions as will produce the irrigation
of land more cheaply and efficient
ly than by means of canals, or other
methods of securing artificial irriga
tion. One of Mr. Paraf’s applications
will produce and retain abundant
moisture for three days, when the
same amount of water, introduced by
the present method, will evaporate in
an hour. He believes that his prepa
tion will not only produce two blades of
grass, where but one now grows, but
that it will render possible, fields,
meadows, and prosperity, where now
there is nothing but sand and desert
waste.
How Much is aHorse Power. —“A
Young Farmer” inquires of the New
York Herald, “ How much is a horse
power ?”
Reply. —This question is frequently
asked. What is understood by a horse
power, and why that way of reckoning
came to be adopted and brought into
general usei 1 Before the power of
steam was generally known and applied
to mechanical purposes, horses were
used to raise coal and other heavy
bodies. Mr. Moots, in his experiments,
carefully compared the relative power
of the different breeds of horses, and
found its average equal to raising 33,-
000 pounds one foot per minute, or,
what is equivalent, to raise 330 pounds
100 feet, or .00 pounds 330 feet dur
ing that space of time, when attached
to a lever, or sweep of a given length.
This afterward became the standard of
measuring power or force applied to
mechanical purposes, and which is still
retained in common use.
For sometime past, efforts have been
made to secure legislation by Oongress,
to prevent cruelty to animals in transit.
The obstacle in the way has been a
doubt a to the right of Congress to
regulate inter-State commerce. As to
the necessity of such regulations all
seemed agreed. The stock shippers
and the railroad companies are willing
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
such a law should be enacted, provided
it is enforced and made equally bind
ing upon all. The present laws on the
subject are inadequate and inoperative.
It may be asked, why do not the States
concerned in this traffic make regula
tions for themselves ? This has been
done by Illinois and New York, but
not by the intervening States through
which the eastern bound cattle trains
pass, and here lies the difficulty. Mi.
Geary, who appeared before the House
Committee on Agriculture the other
day, argued in favor of the constitu
tional right of Congress to legislate in
such matters, aud at the same time
declared he fully recognized the sov
ereignty of the States. But when
asked by Mr. Caldwell which would
prevail, in case the acts of Congress and
the State should conflict in this matter,
he had to admit that in his opinion the
authority of Congress was paramount.
The question is a very important one,
as it involves not only the prevention
of cruelty to animals, but the putting
of unhealthy meat on the market, by
which disease is necessarily dissemi
nated.
The Timber Interest. —Hon. Mr.
Cassidy, the efficient and able member
from Effingham, made an excellent and
practical speech in the House on the
Senate bill, introduced by Mr. Kibbee,
for the relief of the timber cutters of
lower Georgia. We subjoin a synop
sis of Mr. Cassidy’s speech, taken from
the Atlanta Constitution, feeling that
our readers will endorse his views as
eminently pertinent and full of whole
some truths :
Mr. Cassidy said that if the motion
of the gentleman from Mclntosh to
amend the bill by excepting his coun
ty was simply of a local character, he
would make no objection, but this
question was was not a local one; it ex
tended to nearly all; the farmers of
that section were interested in the pas
sage of the bill; they were generally a
poor but an honest and industrious
class of our people, and they ought not
to be injured by oppressive municipal
regulations. These city ordinances
raised the commissions on the sale of
timber to nearly double the old rates
and the bill now before the House re
strained and limited the municipal
powers to a fair and equitable stand
ard. It is a bad policy to oppress our
laboring classes by unjust legislation.
Give them an open market, and a fair
remuneration for their productions,
and you will greatly encourage the
honest aud industrious among our peo
ple, and advance the wealth and pros
perity of our State ; on the other hand,
oppress labor by heavy taxation, or un
fair regulations in regard to products
entering our markets, and the voice of
history proclaims that it will lead to
the decline and ruin of any nation. I
hope, sir, that the bill will pass, and
the amendments of the gentleman will
not prevail.
One reason why agriculture in Ger
many is one of the most productive
pursuits in that country, is the atten
tion paid to scientific farming, and the
deep interest the government takes in
fostering and promoting the agricultu
ral interest—a fact which ought to be
a useful lesson to us. In Prussia alone,
there are four higher agricultural acad
emies, with about eighty well-paid pro
fessors; forty-one lesser colleges, all
connected with model farms; five
special schools, for the cultivation of
meadows and the scientific study of ir
rigation ; one special school for indus
trial agriculture; one school for horse
shoeing; one school each for silk rais
ing, bee and pisciculture ; twenty agri
cultural stations, (laboratories) for ex
periments and for garden culture;
three higher colleges aud twelve secon
dary schools, in which the culture ot
the grape is made a specialty. All
these schools are connected with model
farms for the practical education of
students.
The secret of Grange success lies in
its social, reforming and humanizing
influence on members, and especially
on the introduction of women as im
portant and influential members of the
Order. These peculiarities are inhe
rent in the Grange system, and their
success is not necessarily limited to
any section, country or clime. Asa
means of combining farmers for their
mutual improvement and advantage,
nothing like it has ever been discovered,
and there is little doubt that it will be
proportionately successful wherever til
lers of the soil or keepers of flocks and
herds are found.
The ice crop gathered this season at
the North is unprecedentedly small.
The price of this luxury will be com
paratively high this summer, hut the
ice manufacturing companies will
double their energies and facilities to
supply the demand, and will reap a
splendid financial harvest.

THE OLD FARM-BO USE.
At the foot of the hill, near the old red mill,
In a quiet shady spot,
Just peeping through, half hid from view,
Stands a little moss-grown cot;
And straying through at the open door,
The sunbeams play on the sanded floor.
The easy chair, all patched with care,
Is placed by the old hearth stone;
With wiiching grace, in the old fire-place,
The evergreens are strewn ;
And pictures hang on the whitened wall.
Aud the old clock ticks in the cottage hall.
More lovely Btill, on the window-sill,
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While ’mid the leaves, on the moss-grown eaves,
The martin builds her nest;
Aud all day long, the summer breeze
Is whispering low to the bending trees.
Tle Household.
A writer gives the following good
recipe for making borne beautiful:
I have seen very pretty transparen
cies made by stitching ferns and gay
clusters of leaves between sheer folds
of lace, aud fastening the whole, or
rather surrounding it, by a slender
frame made of cigar-lighters. Any
long vine which you have been so for
tunate as to have succeeded in pressing
will loop itself gracefully over your
pictures or brackets. Ivy, the stems
inserted into flat bottles of water ailH
the bottles tied to the backs of pictuiß
frames, can be trained to®grow around
pictures with very fine effect. In a
warm, moist atmosphere the ivy vine*
grows rapidly, either in pots or in vases
of water, and its verdure is a real deco
ration to indoor life in the winter.
The gray trailing moss of the South,
weired and phantom-like, or the fluffy,
feathery flower of the clematis are
graceful for drapery in their exquisite
and airy lightness and apparent fragil
ity. Nothing is prettier than the bit
ter-sweet. Its delicate coral cups break
open, revealing an inner ball smooth as
wax and tinted with gold. With clus
ters of this or holly berries shining out
from glossy leaves, or the running ce
dar that may be had in the forests for
the seekiug, home may be decorated to
your heart’s content. Then, if it have
heart’s the—the cheer of simple, unaf- (
fected living, the warmth of good hu
mor, the tenderness of courtesy, and
the grace of thankfulness —be it over
so lowly, there will bo -no place like
home. '
Uouscltold Hints.
—Toothache of the urn at: excruciat
ing sort, may be relieved by alum and
salt, pulverized, mixed in equal quan
tities and applied to the hollow tooth
in a plug ot cotton.
—When color on a fabric has been
destroyed by acid, ammonia is applied
to neutralize the acid, after which An
application of chloroform will, in al
most all cases, restore the original,
color.
—A screen or blower of wire gauze,,
from thirty-six to forty wires to the
inch, placed in front of range or stove|
fires, will prevent, it is said, smoke!
coming into the room when the chim
ney fails to draw well.
—To take mildew from linen, mix
soft soap with starch powdered, half
the quantity of salt and a piece of
lemon, and lay it on both sides with a
paint brush; let it be in the open air—
on grass is preferable—till the stain is
removed. Another way is, use chloride
of lime. Dip the mildewed article in
the lime water and dry quickly in the
sun. This process may be used with
out rotting the cloth or destroying del
icate colors.
—Yellow stains, commonly called
iron mould, are removed from linen by
hydrochloric acid or a hot solution of
oxalic acid. Wash well in warm water
afterward.
The following is a very valuable
housewife’s table, by which persons not
having scales and weights at hand may
readily measure the article wanted to
form any recipe, without the trouble of
weighing, allowance to be made for an
extraordinary dryness or moisture of
the article weighed or measured :
Wheat flour, 1 pound is 1 quart.
Indian meal, 1 pound 2 ounces are 1 quart.
Butter, when soft, 1 pound is 1 quart.
Loaf BUgar, broken, 1 pound is 1 quart.
White sugar, powdered, 1 pound X ounce are
1 quart.
Best brown sugar, 1 pound 2 ounces are 1
quart.
Ten eggs are 1 pound.
Sixteen large teaspoonfuls are 1 pint.
Eight large teaspoonfuls are £ pint.
Four large teaspoonfuls are 1 gill.
Two gills are £ pint.
A common sized tumbler holds £ pint.
An ordinary teacup is 1 gill.
A large wine-glass is 1 gill.
A large ta' lespoonful is £ an ounce.
Forty drops are equal to 1 teaspoonful.
Four teaspoonfuls are equal to one table
spoonful.
The Farmer’s Vindicator (Miss.) re
cently said:
“Our farm buildings are more dilap
idated and discreditable than ever; our
fences rotten and valueless ; our stock
few in number and Poorer in quality,
and until this year, our corn cribs
empty and our people buying corn and
even hay on credit, to make the ensu
ing crop; not a side of home raised
meat in our smoke-house, except what
we have bought from our merchants
at ruinous rates of interest, and, every
thing that we wear and use is made at
the North and sold to us at immense
profits, in return for the raw cotton,
which is bought at whatever price the
Northern speculator chooses to pay.”
Here we have a not overdrawn pic
ture of the fatal consequences that
follow the mania for “ all cotton rais
ing,” which has, for so long a time,
blighted the agricultural resources of
the South, and dwarfed the strength
of our people.
Happily, and mostly through the
salutary influence of the Patrons Order,
this ruinous folly has been showed up
in its true colors, and a beneficial re
form is beginning to assert itself
everywhere. “ Make yourself inde
pendent, of speculators on cotton and
provisions” is the first motto which
our farmers must live up to. Practice
this precept, aud it will be well with
you.
