THE EXPOSITION.
This great exhibit of the resources and
industries of the country has at last be
come an assured, undoubted success in
the matte of attendance, as it has for
some time beeu complete in point of
merit and readiness for the public. The
rather tardy action of the railroads in re
ducing fares to amost a nominal rate, has
had the expected result in Crowding the
trains on the several railroads leading
into Atlanta,and of keeping the turnstiles
at the gates almost constantly in motion.
Os course the management is happy, the
exhibitors in high good humor and every
thing is smiling.
Visitors to the grounds and buildings
are unanimous in expressing admiration,
wonder and delight, at the magnificent
display of everything that can please the
eye, gratify the tasle for the beautiful,
and instruct the inquiring mind. The
common expression is, “the half had not
been told us.” Indeed, it is impossible
in less than a volume, to conves an ade
quate idea of the Exposition as it is.
One day will scarcely suffice to take
a mere glance through the several bind
ings. A weeks’ visit would leave the
mind still unsatisfied.
The week just ending (this the 19. h)
has been by far the most successful—in
every respect—since opening day. The
weather has been all that could be desired
and the stream of visitors has been
Steady and unremitting. It would be
vain to undertake to tell those yet at
home, what they will see at the Exposi
tion. There need not be a doubt in the
mind of any, that a visit to the great fair
will be an event full of enjoyment and
instruction and one long to be remem
bered.
Farmers' week, (Dec. 6th,) will be a con
venient occasion for those who have not
before had an opportunity to come to
Atlanta.
Every effort will be made by the
management to get up a most attractive
programme—especially with reference
to the tastes of the practical farmer. The
various field implementsand machinery
on the grounds -as far as practicable
will be actually tested on the grounds.
We invite and advise our readers—one
and all—to come.
CORN AND MEAT NEXT YEAR.
There is no question that corn and
meat will command an unusually high
price next year. Even at this time,
when the pork packing season is at hand,
there is no sensible weakening in prices
for bacon, lard and hog products gene
rally. The West, generally, has made a
greater or less failure in the corn crop,
and the wheat yield is much lees than
for several years past. The consequent
ecarcity of nog feed, augmented to some
extent by the diminishe I wheat crop,
has already had a telling effect on hog
productions.
The prices that corn and meat now
command, and the prospective increase
next spring, will be such that farmers
cannot neglect a single opportunity to
make the most of what is on hand by
the most careful feeding, and economical
management. ■
Tt is an occasion that will j ustify the
killing of every pork hog that can be
made to weigh from seventy-five to a
hundred pounds. In this way, although
a pretty heavy draft may have to be made
on the corn-crib to bring such young
hogs into fair condition, the demand
upon the limited supplies next spring
will be much less—by so many less
mouths to feed—and there will be less
bacon to buy-
Farmers often lose money by neglect
ing to make a few simple calculations.
Oue year old hogs, as a rule, make the
cheapest meat under our system of hog
raising. Or the rule may be stated thus,
the older the hog the more costly the
pork. A pig at nine months of age may
be easily made to produce 150 to 200
pounds of pork; and even much higher
results may be attain, d with good atten
tion. If proper pasturage and cheaply
produced crops—such as pround peas,
chufas and potatoes—are provided there
is no sense in keeping a hog beyond a
year old. A hog should not be carried
through a witer under ordinary circum
stances. Faimers ought to consider
that it is poor economy to stint the feed
now because it is scarce, and be forced to
buy bacon at high prices next spring
and summer. The policy would be wise
if corn should be dear and bacon (pros
pectively) cheap.
BETTER STOCK.
There is no doubt that a great deal of
the money that is spent by farmers for
fine blooded animals with a view to im
proving the common stock, is spent fool
ishly, owing to a very prevailing igno
rance of the principles of breeding. A
farmer will buy a fine animal, turn him
loose among the common stock, to re
ceive no more attention until the owner
gets ready to make up his report—that
fine stick is all a “humbug.”
Os course where a farmer only wishes
to infuse good blood into common stock,
he should not wait to it idy the princi
ples of breeding and crossing before com
m'encing operations. The improvement
resulting from one cross of a thorough
bred animal upon common stock is so
manifest that the cost of the pur
chased animal is often repaid in the first
generation of progeny. Tnerefore, if the
object is to improve one’s own stock and
make them more profitable, it is nearly
always a good investment to buy a thor
oughbied male.
Says the American Farmer: “But no
one should undertake to breed fine stock
to sell as such, until he has studied the
art sufficiently to entitle him to the claim
of being a stock b-eeder. He must clear
ly understand that the art of stock- breed
ing consists in changing the conditions
of life and regulating the re-produclion
of animals, etc , and that no one is enti
tled to be called a breeder who does not
seek to regulate this change for some
good and specific end, either for fancy or
€C “Th?two great laws of heredity and va
riability are just so fixed and determined
as to enable man, by selection, to build
up what he wants, to a great extent.
Let him fix on his ideal and then turn
his attention to varieties in that direc
tion, and by careful selection and mat
ing, much may be done. The building
up a race of great butter yielders seems
to be the end to which much time and
money is now being devoted. The <
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1881.
breeding to this end is much more diffi
cult than in many other directions.
“The breeder whose ideal is a peculiar
ity in plumage (as in certain varieties of
the pigeon or fowl), or of forms (as in
short-horns or other flesh forming cattle)
or in producing sheep with a peculiar
fleece or shape, or the race horse, can
select animals for crossing from both
sexes having the desired peculiarities,
while the breeder of butter cows is al
most entirely at sea as to the selection
of his males. The rule that has been
formulated for him -to select males good
as individuals and from good performers
—is good enough as far as it goes; but as
it is well known that the daughters of
great performers are frequently anything
else but great performers themselves, it
is reasonable to suppose that this is often
the case with the sons. Let breeders
do the best they can according to this
rule, and then wait until his daughters
begin to come in, and subject them to
some careful course of feeding, and if
they are better than their dams he has
a prize in his bull, and should by all
means hold on to him as long as he is
useful."
FISH PONDS.
We recently heard Hon. Thomas P.
Janes remark, that in the course of a
pretty extensive travel in the United
States, and a familiar acquaintance with
many owners of artificial fish ponds, he
had yet to see upon the table the first
fish from such a source. We remember
also to have heard Governor Colquitt
give expression to a long unsatisfactory
longing to partake of a dish of fish from
artificial ponds. We do not recollect
that we ever had the pleasure to feast on
such a dish. Is it indeed, a fact, as here
insinuated, that pond fish never get into
the frying-pan ; or do they have a trick
of jumping out of the frying-pan? We
pause for a reply. If this should meet
the eye of some enthusiastic piscicultur
ist who can give denial to the implied
reproach let him answer. Eversince we
can remember there have appeared from
' time to time in agricultural and other
papers, enthusiastic articles upon the
ease with which a family could be bounti
fully supplied with fish frm ponds. We
confess that we never had much faith in
the claims, but have had reason to hope
that the German carp would make the
dream a substantial reality.
Let us hear from owners of fish ponds.
GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
We clip the following from the Talbot
ton Register, of October 25;h, as illustra
ting the spirit of reform and improve
ment that is manifesting itself in various
parts of the country.
Judging from personal observations
made during a recent visit to Talbotton
on the occasion of its recent fair, we
would say that there are many counties
in the State in which the spirit and pur
pose shown in the ‘'Resolutions” are
even more imperatively needed. Talbot
county farmers are comparatively easy
and prosperous—not all out of debt, nor
plentifully supplied with provisions, but
they have generally made good crops,
and many of them have the comfortable
feeling which springs from the posses
sion of full corn cribs.
If every farmer would stick to the
goed resolutions formed about the heel
of the year—after the crop has been
gathered and the balance sheet is found
to be against him—and not backslide
when planting time arrives, we would
soon be in the midst of plenty and com
fort.
But to the “Rules” —which we com
mend ro our readers elsewhere:
“The County Agricultural Society met
on the first Tuesday. After the reading
and confirmation of the minutes of the
previous meeting, was discussed the re
port which was submitted, of the com
mittee on the Farmer’s Protection Asso
ciation of Talbot county. We publish
the resolutions, which were agreed to by
the Society.
farmer’s protection association.
Believing as we do that the present is
an opportune time to change for the
better the false and unmethodical system
of farming pursued in this section, we,
the undersigned, farmers of Talbot coun
ty, most cheerfully subscribe to the fol
lowing
rules:
Ist. By experiment and personally we
obligate ourselves to do all that is in our
legitimate province to effect a change in
the methods of agriculture as now
practice 1 by the people.
2d. We agree to plant a sufficiency of
our farms in provision crops, and the re
mainder in such other products as we
may deem most lucrative. In the small
grain department of our farms we agree
that it is better to sow the rust-proof
variety of oats in the early fall, October
or until 15th of November.
3d. We furthermore agree that at least
a portion of the lands we devote to corn,
shall be of the best quality, the entire
grain acreage to be prepared, accoding as
our ability may i emit, under the mod
advanced and approved formulas.
4 h. In order to better ventilate our
views and exchange our ideas on topics
germain to agriculture, we furthermore
agree to meet once a month as the court
house in Talbotton, the Association, at
the first meeting to organize by electing
a President and Secretary, who shall
serve for a term of one year each, or
until their successors are chosen.
WE SUBSCRIBE
fully to the principle of crop rotation as
being not only in accord with the econo
my of nature, but as being the only
method whereby the soil may be pre
served and the large -t possible per cent
age of vegetable production secured.
The discussion on the different points
of the report was instructive and enter
taining. Subject chosen for next meet
ings, “Labor.” Several gentlemen came
forward and subscribed their names.
Dr Pierce’s ‘'Favorite Prescription” is not
extolled as a “cure all,” but admirably ful

' IMPORTANT I! I
• I want it distinctly understood that I am prenar-
‘ ed to offer to the public greater inducements to buy
; PIANOFORTES FOR HOLIDAY PRESENTS than ever Defwe.
’ Why buy Grand, Square and Upright Pianosand pay
manufacturers such enormous profits. Before you
decide to purchase a Piano elsewhere, stop I Writ®
- at once for valuable information. Tricksor the trade
Where the cost comes in ; how a $297.50 Piano cost
1, SIOOO through agents—profits of from SSOO to S7OO
y made on a single sale. A SIOOO Piano sold to one man
1 for S6OO, to his neighbor, the same Piano precisely,
f for $950, to another for $650. Is this Just ? I have
h one price, no agents, sales are made direct, my cat*
ulogue has no fictitious prices— DNS PHICB TO - ALL.
