AU letters intended for the Editor of this De
portment should be addressed, “Farmkrs' Index,
Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga."
THE WEATHER AND WORK.
A most delightful and welcome change
has occurred since our last. The long
expected spring put iu a tardy appear
ance on the 18th instant, and apparently
has come to stay this time. The “full
moon in April” ha* appealed and waned,
and there are no propecies of evil wea
ther just in the future that need disturb
the farmers dreams. While corn is late
—and in many places twice planted, on
account of killing by frost—cotton will
not be very late in getting off if no un
toward accidents befall it. The most em
barrassing circumstance lies in the fact
that in many places both crops will need
working at the same time, as cotton will
be no, and waiting before the corn can
be plowed. As we said last week, corn
must on no account be neglected. We
doubt if this crop ever fully recovers
from a serious drawkack or neglect suf
fered at any stage of its growth. It is
certain that bygood preparation and man
uring of the soil and its prompt working
during the early stages of growth, where
by strength and vigor of the plants are
secured, the crop is better prepared to
withstand the effects of drouth or other
disaster of the future. ,
COTTON PLANTING.
The planting of the last rows of cotton
should now no longer be deferred. Os
late years the tendency has been to plant
later under the conviction that the plants
will grow larger aud mature a heavier
crop. This is doubtless true on old, thin
land, on which earl / planted cotton is
often so dwarfed by early casualties and
its growth entirely checked by an early
crop of fruit, that it fails to attain full
size and fruitage- But it is not safe to
defer planting later than Ist of May in
the upper portion of the cotton States
proper—eLe the crop will be cut off by the
early fall frosts.
It is often found very convenient Io
plow a portion of the corn crop—or even
run ’round the whole of it—after plant
ing about half the area intended for cot
ton. Where the corn is large enough to
plow by the twentieth to twentyfiith of
April it is an excellent plan, thus to get
the corn started off well in advance so
that it may be layed by early in June,
and the cotton crop receive unremitting
attention.
We trust that many of our readers have
planted at least a portion of their crops
in hills or checks—using the very best
gee( j_ an d w ill be prepared to give their
experience of the plan next fall.
In advance of the time for plowing
cotton, we would suggest the use of an
implement that will straddle thfte row and
plow both sides at once. This plan will
save half the time, and side the cotton
more effectually than the old way, but is
not applicable where the crop is planted
in hills, unless it be so contrived that the
horse mav not walk on the row.
Where the cotton has come up in
freshly prepared and smooth land, and
no heavy rains have fallen, it will often
be better to hoe it - or ‘‘chop it out”—be
fore plowing.
GERMAN CARP.
This new variety of pond fish promises
to be a great acquisition to Georgia and
the South generally. Though new to us,
the carp has been cultivated for centuries
in Germany and Austiia, and it is be
lieved was brought originally from China
where it has been carefully propagated
for probably ten or more centuries. The
long course of domestication to which
it has been subjected has had the same
effect as upon swine and some other
domestic animals, tome of which have
been so changed and improved that they
can hardly be certainly traced to the
original wild type.
The most noticeable result of domes
tication of wild animals is the much
greater disposition to fatten, more rapid
growth, and greater prolificness. The
improvement in swine from the wild hog
is most remarkable. We think this the
ory will, in great measure, account for
the superiority of the carp over the ord
inary varieties that have heretofore been
taken from the streams and placed in
artificial fish ponds.
For many years it has been the fashion
to recommend the construction of fish
ponds, and the culture of fish as a cheap
source of food as well as of amusement.
But it has been patent all the time that
a Very small measure of success has at
tended all efforts in that line heretofore.
The varieties—trout, bream, chub, etc.—
which were generally relied on, have
been too slow ot growth and unsatisfac
tory in other respects.
But the carp seems to meet all the re
quirements of practical pond culture.
They are mt a game fish—do not bite
readily at a hook, though .they may be
captured in that way—but this is rather
in their favor than otherwise, since
poachers cannot readily take them.
The chief advantage of the the carp is
due to the fact that they are thoroughly
domesticated, and thrive in confined
areas and almost i-tagnant water, where
most as our native varieties would lan
guish and die. They live to a great age
and grow to immense size. A celebrated
individual of the species is reported as
having recently died in France at the
supposed age of four hundred years. This
maybe a hoax, but there are authentic ac
counts of carp that have attained to one
hundred years, and to a weight of ninety
pounds. They are said to grow until
they reach the age of thirty-five years.
The Department of Agriculture of
Georgia is doing a good work in distrib
uting carp all oyer the State. Already
about four thousand have been sent out
by Commissioner Henderson—besides a
considerable number by our Congress
men to their constituents.
In the acqnarium at the Department
Rooms in Atlanta there is a specimen of
a carp weighing four pounds—one of the
first lot ever received in Georgia—and
now only erghteen months old. We vis
ited' the pond of Col. A. B. Culberson,
at West End, the other day and were
surprised and delighted at witnessing
eleven carp —the number placed therein
about sixteen months ago—averaging
ab.jd; three pounds each.
The culture of carp is destined to open
a new source of supply of caeap and
wholesome animal food to the people of
this country.
Heretofore, except to the favored few,
fresh fish has been one of the luxuries
of life, to be enjoyed only occasionally
by the man of moderate means. If they

can be supplied to our markets at six to
eight cents per pound they will be a most
welcome addition to, or substitute for the
salt bacon and fish, and high-priced beef
and mutton.
EDITORIAL JEALOUSY (f).
When glancing over our agricultural
exchanges—of which we receive quite a
number -we have often had occasion to
notice what appears to be a want of re
ciprocity of good will, or at least the ab
sence of any expression or other evid
ence of it. This seems to be especially
noticeable between those papers that oc
cupy the same or overlapping territory,
and is not confined to any paiticular sec
tion of the country; but we regret most
to see it in our Southland, where there
is every reason for a cordial, united,
brotherly effort on the part of all friends
of Southern agriculture. We pick up
one of our regular agricultural monthlies
and often look in vain for the slightest
recognition of the existence of any other
paper in the same section.
Sometimes, indeed, there appears a
stiff formal “notice”, that reminds us of
the bow with which a duellist salutes
his antagonist on the “field of honor”(?),
but no hearty, voluntary expressions of
good will or commendation. To one who
reads them all, it must be a matter of
wonder how they can discuss the pract
ical questions in which all reading far
mers take interest, without alluding to
or quoting from each other. They do
not even allude to “the paper from Mid
dle Georgia’’ or the “admirable monthly
from Alabama’’—in the polite fashion
of legislators and politicians.
We are pretty certain that our agri
cultural papers would be even more ac
ceptable than they are already to their
readers (and even more profitable?) if
they were less “offish” to each other and
would each avail itself of the good things
of the others, and spread a more varied
feast to its readers. There should be
“union of eflort” among agricultural
writers and journals as well as among
farmers themselves. What we preach
to others we must practice ourselxes.
There should be no dissension, or cold
ness, or jealousy between those who as
sume to teach the principles and practice
of the great science of agriculture.
Only the other day we were reading
in a Southern agricultural paper, an ed*
itorial on this very subject, setting forth,
n brief, views similar to those here given,
and winding up with an exhortation.
Yet in the same paper, while there were
numerous clippings from Northern,
Eastern, and Western papers, we obser
ved bpt one article from a Southern
paper, and it was credited to the grneric
portion only of the name of the paper
from which it wastaken—as if a political
paper should credit “Tribune” only, when
there are perhaps a dozen “Tribunes” in
the country.
We trust our regular agricultural pap
ers will not consider the little Farmer’s
Index as presumptous or hypercritical,
for we have only an honest desire to point
out in a good natured spirit, what we
conceive to be a blemish if not a serious
fault in agricultural journalism.
CABBAGE WORMS.
I am satisfied from my observation for
the past few weeks that salt is the most
practical remedy we have for this insect.
This may be applied by sprinkling a
little in the growing head from time to
time, but the better way is to apply the
salt in the form of a weak brine, renew
ing as often as occasion seems to require.
Os course, if the brine is strong it will
kill the cabbage the tame as it would
other forms of vegetation, but a weak
brine does not injure the plants, while
it drives away worms already at work,
and prevents the butteiflies from depos
iting any more eggs.
One gardener who has been experiment
ing with the brine says, that had he
known of it in season to set out his
plants he would have raised a crop of
fall cabbages for the market, for he re
gards it as a perfect protection. Another
states that he put brine on a part of his
cabbages where the worms were already
at work, the heads being large enough for
market. A number of days afterwards
upon cutting them he found no evidence
of work upon them, while there
were plenty in the others. In my own
garden I have put a little fine salt in
several heads, and find the right quantity
a protection without injury, out there is
danger that the outside or top leaf of the
head will be killed, hence the application
of the salt in the form cf a weak brine
seems to be the best method. — Exchange.

A bloated body does not always belong to
an inebriate. Kidney troubles will cause
bloat, but Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure has never failed to remove it.
A Losing Joke. —A' prominent physician
of Pittsburgh said, jokingly, to a lady pa
tient who was complaining of her continue!
ill health, and of his inability to cure her,
‘hry Hop Bitters I” The lady took it in eai
nest and used, the Bitters, from which she
obtained permanent health. She now laughs
at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so
well phased with it, as it cost him a gcod
patient.—Harrisburg Patriot.
WARNER’S
SAFE KIDNEY & LIVER CURE
The leading Sclentkits of to-day agree that most
diseases are caused by disordered Kidneys cr
Liver. If, therefore, the Kidneys and Liver are
kept in perfect order, perfect health will be the
result. This truth has only been known a short
time and for years people suffered great agony
without being able to find relief. The discovery
of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure marks a
new era in the treatment of these troubles. Made
from a simple tropical leaf of rare value, it con
tains just the elements necessary to nourish and
invigorate both of these great organs, and safely
restore and keep them In order, ft is a POSITIVE
Remedy for all the diseases that cause pains in
the lower part of the body—l< r Torpid Liver,
Headache, Jaundice, Dizziness, Gravel, Fever,
Ague, Malarial Fever, and all difficulties of the
Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs.
It Is an excellent and safe remedy for females
during Pregnancy. It will control Menstruation
and is Invaluable for Leucorrhoea or Falling of
the Womb.
AS a Blood Purifier it Is unequalled, for it
cures the organs that make the blood.
READ THE RECORD:
“Itsaved my life.”—E. B. Lakely,Selma,Ala
“It is the remedy that will cure the many
diseases peculiar to women.”—Mothers’ Mag
azine.
“It has passed severe tests and won en
dorsements from some of the highest medical
talent in the country.”—New York World.
“No remedy heretofore discovered can be
held for one momentlu comparison with it.”
—C. A. Harvey, D.D., Washington, D.C.
This Remedy, which has done such wonders,
is put up in the largest sized bottle ot any medi
cine upon the maiket, aud is sold by druggists
and all dealers at $1 25 per bottle. For Diabetes,
enquire for Warner’s Safe Diabetes Cure. It is a
podtive remedy. Q wabner &
