The Farmers’ Index. All letters intended for the Editor of this De partment should be addressed, “Farmers’ Index, Drawer 24. Atlanta, Gr.” THE EX POSH lON. “Planters and Farmers” week brought the largest attendance of visitors than any similar period since opening day. The weather proved exceptionally good, and the streams upon all the Railroads were full and constant through the week. With an admirably arranged programme, well executed, and by the efforts of the exhibitors to please, the week waa a great success in every respect. The atr> tendance will now probably diminish steadily until Christmas week, when it ■will again be overwhelming. No person who has heretofore been prevented from attending should be deterred from com ing now, or through fear that the exhi bition will wane in intrinsic merit. The exhibitors will remain until the last day of the three months originally appointed and possibly the show may he prolonged. The presence of a great crowd is really a considerable hindrance to one who wishes to examine the thousand objects of interest on the grounds, and in the building, with that deliberation and care which is neces Ary to produce a feeling of satisfaction and a consciousness of benefit received. It is impossible to resist the conviction that the results of this great Exposition will be of untold value to theSouth. The great variety of agricultural implements and machinery on the grounds, the im proved varieties of seeds and plants —all illustrated by their products—the valu able essays and addresses, caunot fail to stimulate the energy of the farmers in attendance to renewed and more intelli gent efforts in the future. The introduc tion in our section of even one valuable machine, or implement, or method, may, in a few years add millions of dollars to our aggregate production I We have said nothing of the influence of the Exposition on the manufacturing, and railroad employes of the South. The beneficial results in this direction will probably be more immediate and perhaps greater than in the agricultural field. The Exposition is not simply a big show to amuse the visitor for a few days. It is a school in which all msy learn from the least to the greatest, the already wise as well as the simple. NITROGEN AS MANURE. The question whether organic nitro gen, as it occurs hi dried blood, flesh and k other forms of anuimal matter, furnish- A es food to plants, is being again revied and discussed with renewed vigor in northernagricultnral j mrnals. It would seem that the question might be easily decided by direct experiment in the field. Such experiments have, indeed, been instructed, but with results as dive.-se as the preconceived opinions of their pro jectors. The more moderate objectors to the high value that has been gener ally assigned to nitrogen in .fertilizers admit that ammoniated fertilizers do yield apparently good results —increasing the size of stalks and straw of plants but they insist that the effect is the re sults of a stimulating action of the de composition of the nitrogenous material in the soil. They deny that the nitrogen of the manure enters directly or indis rectly into the organism of plants. On the other hand it is insisted that plants do not assimilatenitrogen through their leaves form the atmosphere, but must absorb it through their routs from the soil, or the air in the soil. We know that all plants contain nitrogen. We know further that free nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, and at the same time very scarce in most soil. It is another well attested fact that those soils which are shown by T analysis to contain a larger relative pro portion of nitrogen (in the f orm of vege table matter) are more productive than others. Further, we think, that the weight of testimony is decidedly in favor of the view that nitrogenous manures do exert a favorable action upon growing plants. These questions are for the agricultural chemists to decide. Mean while the farmer will continue to pur chase those fertilizers which give him the best results regradless of the mere opinions of chemists. USELESS ANIMALS. During the fall and winter the thought ful and calculating farmer will wisely determine what individuals among his flocks and herds have ceased to be profit able forbreeding and working purposes and put an end to their existence by converting them into lood or manure. A cow or hog should by no means be kept for dairy or breeding purposes until past the age at which they may be readily fattened and converted into beef or pork. Whenever a cow begins to fail, from age, as a milker she should be promtly fat tened and butchered. What shall we say of horses and mules? The New England Farmer, published in the land of steady habits, and advanced (?) moral ideas and practices, says: “If the old horse is not worth wintering, lay him kindly aside. Os course you will not eat him as you do your hogs, for horse eating is one of the Paris fashions that has not yet been introduced here; but if you will freeze the meat and keep it sound for your poultry during the winter, you wilt have no difficulty in finding customers who will be glad to buy it in the form of fresh-laid eggs. The bones too, if burned and pounded, or better pounded without burning, if you can get them flue enough, will be quite as acceptable to the hens as meat, and will add to the value of the manure, besides helping to makegood shells for the egg 4.” ( We confess to a feehug akin to horror at the idea of killing an old and faithful horse, but after all, it is less unkind to promptly end his life than to turn him out to starve, or, for a few dollars, to turn him over to some negro brute, to execute ju Igment by over work, neglect and other abuse. , This suggests the question of the moral relations of man m ttie brute cre ation and especially to domes, ic animals. Does the Bible impose upon man any obligations towards lower animals? Will Dr. Tucker give the readers of The In dex his views on the general question ? ♦ ♦ The Sunday Argus Louisville (Ky.) observes: A Wootlbury (V. J.) naper mentions the cured the wife of Mr Jos. H.

There is, perhaps, none —among wild or cultivated plants—equal to rye as a winter grass, in the South. Rye will grow and thrive on very ordinary soils, and is especially adapted to those of a light or sandy character. Cold does not kill it and it ceases to grow only in the very severest weather. Stock of all kinds are fond of it. In this, respect, however, it is inferior to barley, which is thought to be more nutritious and not injurious to young pigs as rye is. But barley re quires a very rich soil to produce a satis factory growth. Another advantage that rye possesses is, that it is an improver of land. Sow in the fall on sandy land and turn under in the spring. 'Hie benefit to the land is very apparent in the growth of following crops: The best way to use rye as green food for stock, is to sow it very thickly on well prepared and rich soil, early in the fall, and cut it as soon and as often as it gets high enough to cut. An acre of rye sown in this manner will supply five or six head of mules and horses with as much green food as they will eat for two months or more. Why wear plasters ? They may relieve, but they can’t cure that lame back, for the kidneys are the trouble, and you want a remedy to act directly on their secretions, to purify and restore their healthy condition. Kidney Wort has that specific action —and at the same time it regulates the bowels per fectly. Don’t wait to get sick, but get a package to day and cuie yourself. Liquid and dry sold by all druggists —Germantown Telegraph. IMPROVEMENT OF POOR LANDS. Improvement of farming lands, the labor question, and the question of stock raising cover, I think, the three great and leading questions in successful agri culture. I think the poorest land may be made rich in ten years by deep plow ing of peas and oats, provided it is first thoroughly drained, so as there shall not lie one drop of water rising upward out of the earth to mix with the soluble particles of decayed vegetable matter and other valuable but invisible proper ties that are in all a dis and on its surface, for as soon as all soils are thus drained and deeply plowed,they become filterers, letting downward all the water from the heaviest falls of rain and from the snows, frosts, dews and fogs; each of which contain a vast amount of vegetable prop erties, prepared in the laboratory of God Almigh y (the clouds), and brought down again to the earth to perpetuate fertility for man’s good. These valuable properties alluded to are the gas s which escaped from decayed vegetable and animal matter that are lighter than the atmosphere near the earth’s surface,and are ever rising upward (though imper ceptible in most instances) until caught and garnered in the clouds and poured out again on rich and poor alike all over this world by our Father in H -aven. Aga n, this world or globe of ours is 24,- 000 miles in circumference; it revolves (or turns over) once in every twenty four hours; therefore, the surface of this globe is moving with the speed of one thousand miles per hour, and more than sixteen miles per minute. Think of it; think of its revolving lightning speed, and think of what a mightv centrifugal force is brought about to throw all the hidden and valuable fertilizing gases from the bowels of the earth to the sur face, there to meet and mingle with the ga»ses there present to perpetuate the fer tility of the earth for man’s good and the glory of God. Plowing deeply,therefore, unlocks and lets up ward a greater amount ot these hidden gases than shallow scratching; and the combination of gases from above and beneath the surface of the earth is of itself, when kept there by a deep tilth, an improver, which, with pea fallow and oats, is certain to im prove and make rich any soil. Very deep plowing, in lieu of shallow, should never be done immediately before plant ing in the spring of the year for the rea son, that all of the earth brought up from beneath former plowings is sterile, dead, and must have time for the elements of heats and cold, rain and snow, etc., to act on it to give it life. Subsoiling will obviate this difficultv, but I prefer deep and thorough (thatched) plowing in win te , fall and s >ring months —if there is any soil—before planting. Reverse these natural laws to which I have al luded of bringing the gases from above and beneath, in order that no particle of matter may be lost and for the perpet uity of the fertility of the earth, and let all in the earth descend (were it possible) -and above all the earth’s surface go up ward forever, this world would be at once a barren waste, and not even a sparrow could find a meal or seed to feed on; but in the goodness of God to man, and in His infinite wisdom, He has made these laws to co-w r < together to perpetuate the fertility of this globe for man’s good and for His own glory. The e crude ideas, as I give them out, are the deductions of my own experience and observations, and not those of other men. They are so plainly visible to me, that I wonder that every man does not see them as plainly as he can see the noonday sun with a cloudless sky. They accord with natural law,and whether be lieved or rejected by my brother farmers, like the blind man whose eyes were opened by Divine power, shall believe them, preach them and practice them just as long as they enable me in the future to do what they have d.me in the past—make one hundred blades grow where one grew before.—Geonje IFyaff in .Richmond Planter and Farmer.

Robbins, of Baltimore, Invented and patented the now famous RobbiiiN’ Family Whnlivi* and Bleacher. It waa the original, and an now improved, is the beat and only perfect aelf-operating Washer in the world. It will do all the family washing in less than half the time in which it can lie done in any other way, without hand labor, with but very little soap, without chemicals and without any wear and tear or yellow ing of clothes. More than fifty thousand of these Washers are now in use, giving perfect, satisfaction. We have thou sauds or testimonials from all parts of the country— from Public Institutions, Hotels, Clergymen. Law yers, Farmers, Editors ami every class of people, and we have the Editorial Commendations of all the prin cipal papers in the land. In 1878 The Bissell Manufacturing Company pur chased the patent for the Washer and after two years careful experimenting succeeded in simplifying the Washer, and in adapting it to use in any size and style i of boiler as also in the old fashioned iron wash-pot so much used in the south (in which the original Rob- I bins’ Washer would not work) and obtained a reissue of their patent on the 21st day of December. 188(1 i THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WASHER. 1 The Deration of the Washer consists in rapidly and continuously forcing the hot soap suds con- J tained in the boiler from the bottom to the surface, through a tub at the rate of ten gallons per minute ♦ CAD Weakness, Deafness, Loss ot E rUn Volos, Sense of Taste and Smell, Neural- Kia.

I und then drawing it down again I hrough the soiled clothing, while that is expanded by the boiling heat causing it to remove every particle <»f dirt and leaving the articles after rinsing thor oughly cleaned and bleached. It is impossible for it to tear or wear, or in any way injure the fabric, as there is no friction whatever. , I HOW DOES THE WASHER WORK? • The Washer having Im>vii placed in the bottom of , the tsviler or pot, as soon as the water commences to boil all that which is beneath it. boiug surrounded with heated metal becomes hotter and moreexnnnaive than that in the remainder of the boiler.and tints has a tendency to rise through the tube, while at the same time all the steam formed beneath the Washer is forced to pass out through the tulie, and carries along with it the water in the washer and tube with great force, its place tveing supplied by the water outside, which is rapidly drawn into tin* washer and in turn heated and expelled, thua creating a constant and powerful current upward through the tube and downward through the fabric. giving a water force which cannot lie obtained in any other way. The fabric l>eing expanded to its utmost by the boil ing water, the dirt, softened by the action of the soap, is at once swept aw ay by the force of the flow. Thus we have, Ist. The greatest possible heat 2d. Perfect chemical action of the soap, and 3d. Force of water. All of which are necessary to thoroughly cleanse and purify any fabric. Whin Im it that clennnen the clothing in the ordinary modes ot washing by rubbing, pounding, squeezing, drawing between rollers, etc 1 It is the tilling of the fabrics with soap suds as hot as may l»e ( boiling heat taing unattainable especially in hand rubbing) and then forcing it out again,and repeat iug the process until the clothes are clean. But all of these prooessesreqaire Im nd labor. You must turn or i uni nd, or squeeze or rub; there is little choice Imj tween them, while with the ROBBINS’ WASH ER the labor Im diMpeuned with, and any other work of the house may be done while the washing is doing itself*. THE CAPACITY OF THE WASHER. There are two sizes, the No. I or family size, which works in any family boiler or wash-pot having a bot tom B'y by 8 inches or larger, and holding 10 to 15 gal lons of water. It takes only 3or 4 ounces of soap to 10 or 12 gallons of water, will wash bed or table linen, a boiler full in lo or 15 minutes, wearing apparel in from 20 to 30 minutes, without rubbing, and requires no previous preparation of the clothes, such as soaking overnight. Lake the clothes dry, and when the Wash er gets thoroughly at uerk, till the boiler us full as it will hold by gently pressing them down with a stick, t'se no chemicals, only good soap ami soft water. If the water is hard it may be softened by a small piece of borax, which is harmless. For Lace CurtuiUM this Washer is in valuable. It cleanses them as no other process can,and without the slightest danger of injury. No. 2, or small hotel size, will do the work in a boiler holding 15 to 25 gallons, und wash, of average pieces, from 1,500 to 2,000 per day ; or it may be used in any smaller boiler. They will work m anything that has a bottom large enough for them to rust upon: say ten inches in diameter. W'e also make a Washer 5x8)6 inches, suitable for use in sunken bottom bo.lers, having the same cap acity as our No. 1, and sold at same price. THEY ARE MADE OF SOLID BRASS, (except the tube), and can neither riiNt, corrode, ' break nor wear on I. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. I Q. What kind of boiler do you use! A. Any kind of a boiler will do. I Q. How can you have a flow of water at the rate of | eight or ten gallons per minute in a boiler holding : only eight or ten gallons * A. The same water is used ' over and over again; and in order to be thus used, it 1 must pass down through and through the fabric; and this with the soap ami heat is what does the work.
