County Agricultural Societies,
timer State AgriculturalSoc’v. 1
Macon, Ga., May 1871. J
Editor* Telegraph <£• Messenger :
Sirs—The continuously active and work
ing eouditi <n of the comity agricultural so
cieties, were deemed a matter of so much
importance that the last February conven
tion engaged the se vices of Mr Barnett,
of Wilkes, to visit the county societies and
to advise with them upon the ways and
means best calculated to secure that im
portant result.
Of those interested in the efficiency of
county societies, and it is from their effi
cicncy alone that the members can derive
pleasure and profit—let me call the atten
tion to-an article by Mr. Newman of Han
cock couuty, published in the Plantation,
and one in the forthcoiuii g number of the
Farm & Home, by Mr. Barnett-, on this
subject. These two articles leave but litile
to be said on the importance—the advan
tage of active working clubs, and the means
and mode of keeping them active and at
work.
As a profitable auxiliary, in addition to
the suggestions oi these gentlemen, allow
me to ask the publication in ynnr widely
circulated journal of the subjoined letter
from one of our most successful planters,
giving an account—but too short—of a
monthly Fair held by the agricultural soci-
c y of Macon county, at Marshalvillc. The
letter speaks for itself. But call the atten
tion of county societies, is that monthly
lairs of county societies during the flower,
fruit, vegetable and harvest mouths—say
April, May, June, July and August—will
accomplish as much good to the organiza
tion and to the communities in which they
exist as any other one instrumentality.—
Why should not Katonton, Milled.eville,
Forsyth and Fort Vally to say nothing
of more important centres like Macon,
Auicrieus, Atlanta, Albany, Athens, and
Griffin, hate their monthly exhibitions of
garden, orchard and farm products ? And
yet wo only hear of such thiugs at Mariet
ta. Marshalvillc, Augusta and Columbus.
It is needless to say more Mr. Felton’s
letter makes lhe argument by his facts; and
at the same time, decides and settles the
question of tee policy of monthly county-
fairs; but I will not forbear quoting a sen
tence from a former letter of his, in which
he states -‘That the announcement that the
society would hold a monthly fair, and give
premiums upon flowers, fruits and vegeta
hies, had created more enthusiasm among
the members than any other means hereto
fore adopted.”
Perhaps 1 should have addressed this
not-through your paper, to the president
and societary of the county societies. I
hope they will so consider it.
I ask the weekly press of the State to
copy, and give the pflicy the weight of
their approval.
Very respectfully,
D. W. Lewis.
P. S.—Siuco writiug tlu above, Genoral
Browne inforu s me that the Bibb county
and Oeinulgee agricultural societies have
united in arrangements to bold a monthly
fair, at the State Fair Grounds, on the 20th;
at which liberal premiums are offered for
vegetables, fruits, flowers an 1 sauipl s of
field crops—and especially for the trial of
all plows, turning, subsoil and cultivators,
that may bo prescuted. A trial too, of
bread and butter, for which premiums arc
offered.
All u embers are expected to carry their
baskets, and spend the-day in discussion or
talk about farming in an easy, sound way.
The Bibb county premium list will be pub
lished iu time for general information.

Practical Hints tor 1971.
Be Methodical.—Have a time .'or ev
erything, bo regular. In so doing you
will save time, and time is life knowledge,
rnouey, everything. Ilavea tirai to go to
bod, say nine o'clock; a time to rise, say five
o’clock. The health, the ability of life do
pend very much upon our sleep, and eight
hours in a -veil ventilated room is enough
and a little more than enough to most per
sons. Let meals be at regular hours, let
the “chores” be done at precise times, let
the work of the year be mapped cut, and
lot each day have its work thought over
betorehand. Know jest when the busi
ness of the day begins and ends, and den’t
forget an hour for reading and looking over
accounts Farmers can have leisure by
being methodical.
Keed Tools in Good Order.—It is a
bad tax to chop all day with a dull axe,
spend u little time at the grind stone.—
Don’t dig away with a clumsy old hoe, it is
vastly cheaper to buy a light keen blade.
In buying plow; and cultivators, take care
to get those adaptc ■ to your soil; a stiff
clay and a light loam cal. for different im
plements. Look after the harrow, sec that
the teeth are sharp. Many of our harrows
do miserable work. If convenient,
how the “Nishwitz” works, something of
that sort is badly needed. This matter of
good tools is of vast importance. Don’t
go down to tho battle pooily armed.
Drive Your Work.—It saves a greal
deal of wear and tear iu life to keep ahead
of work. Don’t wait until gray lmits come
before you set oat needed trees, do it now,
and enjoy the growth and the fruit.
Til' roller and plow should be promptly
in the field. Don’t let weeds have a long
season of riot after planting hoed crops;
as soon as the rows arc discernible, set a
light cultivator at work. Don’t wait for
hints from tlu Farmer in regard to your
work. Jot down with your own pencil tbc
heads of yonr chapters of work.
Take care that mind i- king of muscle,
and muscle never the lord of mind.
. Pilgrim.
There is a horso on a mail route in Ohio
who|has a travelled eighteen miles a day
for the last five years. Sundays excepted,
without losing a single day from sickness or
any other canse, making the distance trav
eled in that time aggregate 27,570 miles, cr
considerably farther than around the
world.
ru-tectlng Strawberry Plants In Summer.
V-.u will greatly oblige me by stating if
you adopt any plan for protecting strawber
ry plants from the sun during the summer,
and instruct me in what wav I must do it.
. J. K. B.
We plant too large an area of ground iu
strawberries to atternp' mulching as a pro
tection against the sun. Oar plan is, after
the fruiting season is over, to give the
ground a thorough plowing and‘hoeing, re
peatedly stirring the soil.
This for field culture is the only practi
cable plan. Frequent stirring of the soil
make it retain moisture much longer than
if left undisturbed.
For garden culture we would advise
mulching by all means. Straw, hay, oroak
leaves arc aU good raw material, bnt yon
bavo along the sea coast rice chaff, which is
far better than either of tho above. After
your ground has received a working, put
the chaff up in it, cover the ground four or
five inches deep and leave it all summer.—
If any weeds couie through, poll them out.
The spongy uature of the chaff, especially
when partially decayed, will not prevent the
young pla- ts from striking roots.The crown
of the plants most alone be exposed, and
the ground between the rows well covered
with the chaff.—Ed. Farmer i£- Gardener.
First Culture of Cotton,
Charleston, April 2G, 1871.
Messrs Editors—In my last commu
nication about the cotton trade, I allnded
only to the cultivation in this country. I
now waut to go back for some years to snow
the very origin of its growth, and to state
when it was put to its proper use, viz : hu
man clothiDg. If you think fit, please in
sert the lollowing, and oblige a dealer in
facts, aud not fiction. Old Fear.
The name A derived from the Arabic
word "Kotoj,” and in the spontaneous pro
duction of all the inter tropical regions.—
Of the lour great materials designed by
Providence for human clothing, it is believ
ed that none were assigned to Europe—to
Asia all were given. Cotton, flax, sheep
and silk worm, to Africa, and America cot
ton and fl ix—the one obviously designed
to be the most useful. Cotton was the last
to bo generally diffused.
For many centuries the growth and man
ufacture of it was coufined exclusively to
India. Spain was the first nation in Eu
rope that cultivated the cotton plant, and
and manufactured clothing from its pro
duce; both occurred in the tenth centnry.
The Moors (says De Maries) brought with
■ hem the husbandry of rice and cotton, the
mulberry tree and the sugar cane. In the
year 1850 the Priests of San Adveno were
authorized to let their chnrch lands for its
cultivation. In 1702 the growth of cotton
iu this country as a commercial article, was
unknowu to Mr. Jay when negotiating bis
treaty with England, in which it was stipu
lated that no cotton should be imported
from America. This is the reason why the
Senate refused to ratify the 12th article of
that treaty.
In 1S2S two dollars a pound was paid in
Charleston for two bags of extra fine,
grown on some of the islands by a Mr. Wil
son, the highest price ever -paid till daring
the recent war.
It may also, be interesting to know that
in 1830 -31, forty years ago, upon a crop not
exceeding one million of bales, the price of
fair cotton was 9a9! cents.—Charleston
Courier.

A Ne v Disease Among Horses.—
Our attention has been called to a new dis
ease that has broken out quite extensively
among horses in this city and vicinity. Its
indications are first a small eschar on the
heel about the size of a five cent piece. It
sits into the foot much like a sit-fast. There
is but little inflammation, pain or lameness
Tlte tissue decays with great rapidity, so
much so that the diseased snrfaco will bo
thr e inches in diameter and one to two in
ches deep, in forty-eight hours. The hoof
will slough off and the entire foot will ulti
mately drop away.
Scores of horses and mules in this city
have bcon affected by this disease.
Its nature and origin was for some time
unknown; bnt careful microscopic observa
tion dc nonstrates its origin to be parasites
They Eecm somewhat allied to Tridiina and
may be introduced to the tissae by the ma
nure, as it is always the heels that are af
fected.
Diluted carbolie acid has been used with
great success. We present this matter to
our readers, so as to put them on their
guard, and it will be well to have carbolie
acid at hand, it is easy and safe in its ap
cation and not apt to injure if not used too
strong. A drachm of acid to a pint of
pure water, will be about the right strength.
—Rural World, St Louis.
Sleeping Flowers.
Almost all flowers sleep during the
night. The marigold goes to bed with the
suu and with him rises weeping. Many
plants are so sensitive that their leaves
close with thr passage of a clond. The
dandelion opens at five or six in the morn
ing, and shuts at Dine in the evening. The
goat’s oeard wakes at three in the morning
and shuts at five or six in the evening. The
common daisy shuts ap its blossom in the
evening and opens its “day’s eye” to meet
the early beam of the morning Bun. The
crocus, tulip and many others close their
blossoms at different hoars toward evening.
Tho ivy-leaved lettuce opens at eight in
the morning and closes forever at four in
the afternoon. Tho night flowering eereus
turns night into day. It begins to expand
its magi.ificent sweet scouted blossom in
tho twilight, and is full blown at midnight,
and closes never to open again with the
dawn of day. In a clover field not a leaf
opens till after sunrise. So says a celebra
ted English author who has devoted much
time to the study of plants, and often watch
ed them daring their quiet slumbers. Those
plants which seem to be awake all night,
ho styles the bats and owels of tbo vegeta
ble kingdom.—Selected.
Borne Agricultural Fair Association.
We have received several comwutiicuteua
from the efficient secretary of the Runic
Fur association, in reference to tha meet
ings of that body, and are pleased to know
that it is making every effort to promote
and increase an interest in the advance
ment of agriculture, from the last notice
we see that the Directors of the Agricultu
ral Fair Association will hold their monthly
meetings on the fourth Tuesday in each
month for the transaction of business, at
which time there will bo an exhibition of
Frnits, Vegetables and flowers in their sea
son, such as cannot be exhibited at the
Annual Fair in October. This arrange
meat will prove to be of great interest and
profit to all classes.
AH who have any fine varieties of fruits,
from the smallest to the largest, or vegeta
bles or Sewers, should bring them to those
exhibitions, and let them be seen and
brought into notice.
Tbo Directors are prepared to, and will
award snch premiums as will command a
lively emulation among the contestants.
Parties living at a distance, rcuderiug it
impossibje to to^ttend personally, can send
snch articles as they desire to exhibit to
Major B. F. Jones, Secretary of the Asso
ciation, who will pi ice the articles in the
hand of tho Exau-ining committee, which
has been selected to award premiums.—Ga.
Cultivator.
Speyino Sows.—“Veterinarian," in the
Western Fanner, gives the lollowing in
structions in regard to this operation:
“Place the sow upon her left side. I’ut
a cushion of hay or straw under her side
Make an incision about four inches iu front
of the hip, or pin bone, and about three
inches belo x. Let the knife be sharp and
clean. Cut very carefull, through the skin
and flesh. Insert the forefinger of the
right hand; feel carefully for the ovaries,
which are soft and palp to the torcli, draw
them to the opening, and with a knife or
scissors,s pa rate them from the uterus (the
womb). Return the severed ends, put in
two or three sti dies, then pat upon the
wound a little oil and common salt; put her
in n dry place fir three or four days, after
which she may be let out. Hog flesh »«
a rule, does not take on mneh inflammato
ry action, and soon heals by nature’s own
efforts.”
Sweet Potatoes.
As the season for planting sweet potatoes
is now upon ns and the weath r has been
so unusnally favorable for that purpose, wo
earnestly nrge upon our farmers the great
importance of this crop aud the benefits to
be derived from its extensive culture. It
is really the most unviersally useful article
of food that grows in our climato—not only
for the human family bat for stock. As
food for stock, cither raw or steamed, it
has no superior; as food for cows it comes
next to cow peas in its milk producing
properties, whilst its fattening qualities ren
der it extremely valuable to the farmer who
desires to raise his own meat. ' One acre of
sweet potatoes is for all such purposes equal
to at least four acres of corn, and tho crop
is so easily managed, and so productive that
we feel that we can hardly be too urgent in
striving to impress upon our farmers the ad
vantages to be derived from its extensive
cultivation.
Pruning the Blackbcrrj.
Persons having cultivated the blackberry
are possessed of sufficient knowledge to un
derstand the fact that the longer they al
low tie canes to remain unpruned, the lat
eral branches are proportionally shorter,
and the fruit smaller. To obtain the lar
gest size berries and the largest quantity
too, cut back the leading canes to not ex
ceed four feet in length, and shorten also
the lateral branches. This will be found to
increase also the breadth of tho stool, af
fording more bearing room, and generally to
resalt in greatly improving the crop. It is
not too late yet to shorten in, where it has
been much neglected, as we often sec it in
some gardens.
In July the young wood, which by that
time has grown over the (bps of the old,
bearing canes, should be clipped, especially
the lateral branches. It will have the best
effect upon the following year’s crop. -

Lice on Calves.—I observe in the cat
tle column of the Rural New Yorker, that
a man who has lousy calves rubs their
heath and necks with ointment made of pre
cipitate.
This is an unsafe remedy. In mv fifty
years' experience as a farmer, I have always
successfully used soft soap. Rub it on the
top of the head and along the back bane.
When calves are infected with lice, they
generally take their quarters about the head
and neck and spinal column. A. Rice.

Curing Clover Hay.
It is a very general belicl that clover hay
is very hard to cure. This is n great mis-
take.
Glover for hay should be cut wheu about
half of the beads have turned brown in
color. It should never be scattered out of
the swath. The old plan of -‘spreding it
out to cure” not only involves considerable
useless labor, but docs tho lay a positive
injury. The less any grass is exposed to
the snn in the process of coring the greater
will be tne value of the hay in the retention
of thcjnices and the succulence of the
stalks.
Plough deep, rotate your crops, and rest
yonr lands.
A cotton plant to stand two weeks’
drought, most have f nr inches soil and six
inches sab-soil; three weeks, six inches soil
and the same sabsoiling; four weeks, eight
inches and same snbsoiling; and for every
week of dry weather, an additional inch,

A Little Story for Boys
A crippled beggar was striving to pick
np some old cloths that had bccD thrown
from a window when a crowd of rude boys
gathered about him, mimicing hi' awk
ward movements, and booting at his help
lessness and rags. Presently a noble little
fellow came up, and poshed through the
crowd, and helped the poor, crippled man
to pick up bis gifts, and placed them in a
handle. Then, slipping a piece of silver
into his hands, he was running away, when
a voice far above him said:
“Little boy with a straw hat, look up!”
A lady leaning from an npper window,
said earnestly:
“God bless yon, my little fallow! God
will bless yon for that!”
As ho walked along, he thought how
glad he had made his own heart by doing

HEAR THE TESTIMONY.
Near Cedar Bluff, Ala., Feb. 2fc, 1871.
Messr« J. ft. S. Bones ft Co:—Bear Sirs:—I have given
the 16 inch Mill (Coleman’s) bought of you, a thorough test,
and can best express myself perfectly satisfied,
The Tower applied ’was tl e running gear of my Gin,
which, although in very bad order, was sufficient to grind
ONE BUSHEL of Gorn, (by the watch), in ELEVEN
MINUTES.
I find it no trouble to do all my grinding before breakfast.
Several of my neighbors were present at the time, and all
were perfectly satisfied with the result, and astonished at
tLe quality of meal produced in so short a time. I prefer
tho meal to any Steam Mill meal.
Respectfully yours,
H. H. MILLER.
P. S.—The soccnd 16 inch Mill I bought of you for the
Foster farm, since tho above was written, has been tested
and works as well, or better, than the first. It is a com
plete Mill.
/^*Wo give a full guarantee with every piece of Machinery sold.
