Simmoned to Washington City.—
Ifiare informed that Hon. A. R. Wright
a summoned to Washington by the
I Sargent at Arms of the United Stales

■ cittee. If such men as Judge Wright
Ini; give evidence before that committee,
Ilk tenntry need have no fears.
The Crops.
The wheat crop in Northern and N. rth-
western Georgia is a more disastrous fail
ure than we had supposed previw.lv-.
Some gentlemen who have been iu the habit
of raising from one to three thousand bush
els of wheat on the Etaw li river, instead
of cuttirg and harvestinghavo turned their
hogs into their wheat fields. The little
that has been made is very inferior, the
grain, with some exceptions being shrivell
ed or rotton. Thu is a sad blow to a sec
tion of country in which" the wheat crop is
the great cash reliance for the farmer.
Fields of oats which a short time since
promised splendidly are covered with rust,
the stalk shriveling and falling down. Ma
ny fields even of fall oals are iu. fails condi
tion. Numbers of farmers are mowing
their oats and curing them as hay.
. The bottom-land corn, of tlie section re
ferred to, is very small and yellow. Dry
weather may innch improve it. The up'-
iand corn is generally very fine, but in that
condition, that a sudden and continued
spell of dry weather would ruin. 1 The pros
pects of the corn crop we consider to be
wholy uncertain. It may be very good or
very bad.
The coilon news is very gloomy; but this
plant has a long time to grow. Cotton
planted in the middle of Jane has been
known to make fine crops. We hope that
our planters will not be discouraged by the
grass iu their fields. They should attack it
very vigorously whonever the rain will al
low. They may yet make a tolerable crop,
there is this incentive to extraordinary eff
ort: So far as we can affirn inadvaneojof this
most capricious of all market products, the
cotton which they do snceecd in making
will probably bring a remunerative price.

Improvement orl.nnd.
The improvement of land is Vasily more
important to the lover of his country than
is the gathering of large crops or selling at
large prices. We are fully apprised that
this will not escape the sneer of the'eroak-
er and the Buster, hut it is no less true.
Ihe present is all we have, and we are
instructed to let the morrow provide for it
self and also il we do not provide lor our
'family we will be lost. As we prefi r to
steer clear of the latter dilerna,’ we must
say it is our duty as Christian men to im
prove. The Indian and the Negro will not.
They use the last and the first that can
extracted from the soil, and fear to do too
much by plowing deep or cultivating well,
If land ought to be improved, there has
be an entirely different principle establish
ed than the shiftl ss policy heretofore pur
sued ‘away down iu Dixie.’ Iustetd of
•killing grass,’ we must grow grass. Inst
of soiling everything trorn the farm that
can be marketable, we must sell nothing
bnt cotton, butter, wool, meat, and the like.
To do this, land must be drained, properly
prepared, seeded to grass. Stock, ample to
consume all the glass and grain, and those
of a proper quality, must be bought- and
duly taken care of. Tiluble land should he
highly manured, drained, prepared, and
cultivated so that grass is smothered at the
very birth, so to say, and land kept sti
red so as to be el aD all the year. A suita
hie division of laud to crops" and a rotation
should he adopted that will insure improve
went.

Hay Waking.
II. B in Rural World tays: “I cut my
clover ns soon as the first blossoms (urn
brown. 1 cut in the morning (after the
dew has dried off and the sun shines ctear)
till noon; then, after dinner, I take a horse
rake and rake in winrows, and in two hours
the hay is in good condition to put in the
barn or stack; o r , if it can’t be hauled the
same evening, put up in small piles from
six to eight feet high, then be certain to haul
next day, as rain will injure it—sometimes
almost ruin it; and il the clover gets too
dry all the leaves fall off, and that is an in
jury also. Never salt clover hay or any
o'hor kind of hay when putting away, eith
er in the barn or stack, as salt causes hay
to heat and mold; when otherwise it will
save nice and in good condition. I cut tim
othy in the second bloom, red top or herds
grass when in full bloom, and cure the same
way, and I always havo good sweet hay,
which stpek eat with a relish, and will
thrive on it in winter. All a man has to
do is to cut-his grass or clover when there
is a prospect of the sun shining all day. A
good reaper and a span of horses or mules
will cut trom four to six acres a day; and a
man that intends to firm now ought not to
he without a reaper and mower to help him
to do his work. Wheat, barley, rye, gras3
and clover give promise of a bountiful yield,
if the season proves favorable. Oats are
all sown, and the prospect for all kinds of
fruit is good.”
Hints for the Month.
We are really tired of placing cotton al
ways in the lead, and yet it is the force of
habit. Well, well, let ns accept the situa
tion. We may as well give onr invariable
practice for many years before the sceptre
departed from our hands. Our practice
was to keep the land clear of weeds and
grass, even when the crop was laid by, and
if no grass to kill we stirred the earth; that
is the point, stir as often as any season of
the year, and even up to'thc lime of pick
ing. We have had women and children
picking and the men with sweeps.
We beg to say as early as 1835, we cul
tivated a field of cotton, after it was scrap
ed and earthed, with the buzzard wing
sweep, now christened Dickson’s. Slirriug
the earth keeps up a regular growth, pre
vents so much suffering by drouth, and
not extra growth from a season.
Corn, not yet in tassel, has been kept
cleaD, and should be until in bunch. One
crop on the earth until the corn is in bunch
is enough. Peas, pumpkins and pinders
are exceptions, because they are only in
condition to produce after corn is made,
but the vile grasses and Weeds kept out of
sight certain.
Hay, whether from the cultivated grass
es or from the native grasses, should be c :t
when in bloom, pat in tall cocks before the
dew falls, opened out next day for two or
three hours and again rccocked. General
ly can be hauled in next day. We hope to
see Southern hay take the place of ti e
Northern dry grass that is brought down
3outh, and sold at thirty five -dollars per
ten. We say hay can be made cheaper
than to make cotton and buy it. When we
name hay, we mean not grass gathered af
ter frost, as we know, if the word of an
eye witness gives us the right to say know,
was practiced by an editor, nor is grass
dried after the seed has matured and all
fallen off, ns we saw hauled and sold by
freedmen in .186& and. J 869; i>nt hay is the
well cured grass when cut in bloom before
the richness of the grass has; parsed into
the seed. - ’
Sweet potatoes con still be made from
drawings. We have had ini the latitude of
Victsbnrg, potatoes weighing ono and a
half two pounds each, from draws set on
the 11th day of July, Excellent plantings
we used to call seed potatoes JWd. slips can
be made from the vino by making cuttings
say one foot long, then with a' blunt stick
and a notch cut thrust the vine on:tho
earth and press earth to i^ or open a slight
trench in ridge, lay long it two ' vines and
eever, except about every fifteen inches.:—
Put out largely, and if more made than is
needed, they will not injure hogs, nor
eows, nor horses if sound—not rotted or
frost bitteD. . Mdnuffis^ ditching, clearing
for pastures, our friends say no use to tqlk
about such things, for -Mappes? tjop’t -'fant
at these trades. ■_ {■
Turnips we mast hint at in our hints
about farm work. Prepare land by deep
Wc managed in 1860, a farm, and before
for ‘ thirty years, a farm—plantation—and
we leave it to visitors at Log Hall to say if
tho appellation ‘took farm-r,’ as is inter
preted, belongs to us. Our land was better
in 1863—for the seven hundred acres ua
dor fence—than it was iu 1S30. Wo write
this not in boast, bnt in sheer justice, and
that our influence shall not be paralyzed by
those too indolent to think and to manage
their own affairs. We appeal to some do
zen or more overseers we had, every one of
whom was called away for higher wages
than xhey had ever received, and more
than we could give. The man who man.;
ges the estate belonging to himself, wife
and his posterity, not competent to provide
for hix household and improve that estate,
should have a guardian appointed. Admit
the difficulty of getting guardians for the
million, it alters not the fact—nnfitness to
manage. The mind has not yet conceived
the length, breadth, higbt and depth of the
sources of improvement.
We hold it is attacking tho majesty of.
the Most High to say we cannot make a
living from the earth—a fortune—and not
leave the earth in netter condition. The
soap boiler who depends upon the lye—pot
ash—in his ashes to make soap, and there
by his bread, turns his a dies out in the
rain and snn.. He is laughed at by his wise
neighbor on the farm, and t! c latter turns
his manure in the yard to be leached by ev
ery rain; of course he tsarise. The South
ern farmer must think, read, aet, or he is
;one; Dixie will knew him no more forever.
Other people aliens to our soil, will come in
and possess.
We say, provide abuulantly f or man,
Least and land, make all the cotton possi
ble, save every article of manurial or fer
tilizer .value, and our word ou it, laud will
improve, and in ten years the aggregate
old value of crops will be larger than in
any ten years-of Dixie life.—<S’e. Farmer.
Selected Seed.—A farmer states that
iu the spring of 1S6S, he planted five rows
of corn with seed taken from the three
inches below the top of the ear, rejecting
the imperfect grains at the extreme point;
then five rows with seed taken from the
middle and base of the car, rejecting the
imperfect grains at the butt. The result
was that the five rows planted with the
seed from tho middle and base of the ear
ripened about two and a half weeks before
the other rows, the corn of the former be
ing better cured, and filled out to the end
ol the cob.—Agricultural Report 1869.
How should Manure be Applied.
Observation and experience should de
termine the mind of the farmer in regard
to the best -plan of applying manure,
whether to plow it under deep or leave it
on the surface. The advocates of surface
manuring speak against manure being turn
cd under too deep, while the advocates of
deep manuring charge surface manuring
with fertilizing the atmosphere, but there
is s medium course and each theory is sup
ported by plausablc arguments. Ho rover,
there are true philosophical principles
against burying the manure too deeply in
the earth. Tho los3 of the saline matter
of the manure by solution and infiltration
will be great in porous soil, and the evapo
ration, to which so much los3 is attributed
by those holding opinions adverse to sur
face manuriug, would ho only a small drop
in tho bucket compared to tho loss by solu
tion.
In porous soils it is well known that ma
nnre will penetrate to a great depth, and
much animal matter may descend beyond
the reach of surface growing plants, Hu
mus is formed by the decay and decompo
sition of vegetable matter, which in the
philosophy of nature is manipulated on the
surface, hence the rule in the application
of manure should he taken from the indi
cations of nature and science. Tho decay
and eonsump iori of one crop for the nour
ishment of another, the droppiugs of ani
mals and defoliation of trees and plants are
ail left on the surface. This seems to con
tradict the idea of any loss by evaporation.
It will therefore be best to adopt the plan
of deep cultivation, hut to keep the manure
and vegetable matter as near the surface as
possible.
There is always some loss by evapora
tion. But it should be a leading idea with
farmers to be close observers of such natu
ral operations in the growth of spontane
ous and cultivated vegetation, and accom
modate their practice so as to imitate nature
as rcarly as possible.—Agricola in Journal
of the Farm.
Vinegar Trom nuripe Fruit.
Unripe fmit, especially apples and pears,
as is well known, is much used in the man
ufacture qi vinegar; but the process usual
ly adopted is defective in many important
points. \Ye therefore give, for the benefit
of our readers, the substance of an article
from Graegcr’s Manual of Vinegar Making
just published in Germany, which may, per
haps, serve a useful purpose.
' The principal fault of the old process
consists ip throwing away the pulp after the
juices arc expressed- As this, however,
cofftaihsA lirgo percentage of starch, ex?
cellcntiy adapted for conversion into vine
gar, it is necessary to prepare .the fruit so
as to’save this’ portion of. the' substance.—
With this object it is to he grated exactly
as potatoes are prepared in the manufacture
of starch, and the ] nip passed through a
moderately fine scivo, or through a close
and open meshed cloth. There is thus
nothing left behind but the pomace proper
or cellulose, all the starchy matter having
been passed through the scivo with tho
jtuee. This next to be diluted with witter,
In'proportion fo the starchy matter that ob
tained; and the whole is then placed in a
clean copper kettle, ono or two per cent of
concentrated sulphuric acid being added,
and boated long enough to transform : the
starch into grape vinegar.
Tho sulphnric.acjd is to he neutralized
by means of corbomc of lime; the gypsnm,
or tho sulphate of lime thus produced al

subsequent acidification, will' yield a vine

Russian Method of I’keserviku
Fruit —A method of preserving fruit,
quite frequently adopted in Russia, con
sists in slacking fresh lime by sprinkling it
with water and adding a little creosote.—
The fruit i? to be packed in wooden boxes,
with a layer of the prepared chalk powder
of an idch in depth at the bottom This
layer is to be first covered with a sheet of
paper, and upon il the iruit is to he bid so
as not to touch each other. Ou the first
layer of fruit another sheet of paper is to
he placed, with the lime powder sprinkled
over i f . and a sheet of paper over this: uf-
on this another layer of fruit .is . spread, as
beforehand the process continued until the
box is full. The corners ruay then he. fill
ed with charcoal. If a tight fitting cover
is put on the box, theTruit, it.is said, will
maintain its freshness for at least.a year.
Home and Women.
In nine cases cat of ten a home is what the
wife and mother ehooseto make it! Here
is her realm—she should ba the queen her
husband the king. If their interests are
united and haro-oulous, how peaceful their
lives can flow off. No envy, no jealousy,
no strife. In such a honte one can recog
nize the illustration nfa “house built upon
a rock.” Lot the storm rage, the tempest
roar, the winds moan; one cm enter, close
the door and feel safe, safe within the a-ms
of those who are doarer than all the world
side.-
“Domestic happiness—thorn only-bliss of
Paradise that lues survived the lalll” Be
it woman’s duty and greatess ambition to
preserve thee, to cherish thee, to live for
thee, and iu living-for thee may her file
not be spour. in vain! May the seeds el
gooducss, gentleness, thoughtfulness sho
scatters take root and thrive in time to
come—may the world be bettered by her
living in it.
How tiie Chinese Do.—The New
York Tribune says: “Wo have always said
that the Chinese in this country would
easily adapt themselves to the situation,
and would do well enough if they were net
persecuted. The facts prove it. In Mas
saohusetts, the Celestial cor Iwainers go to
tho Methodist meeting \\ ith edifying regu
larity. In San Francisco, we are tojjj that
there is a Chinese Young Men’s Cbristain
Association with forty members. What
better immigrants can be desired than such
as these—hard working, thrifty, mainly so
ber and moral and peacekeeping, and wil
ling to)belong to a Christain association?
The selfish American mechanic, who howls
indignantly abont cheap Chinese labor and
the wrong it docs him, if hn will keep
steadily at work and join a Christian Asso
ciation, will find Hrnsclf in a much more
comfortable frame of mind.”

A WORD TO ADVERTISERS.
The boasting of certain newspaper pub
lishers in this section of country, renders it
proper for us to call theattention of adver
risers to the following indisputable facts;
The Rome Courier has been published
continually for over twenty-six years—ex
cept a suspension of 15 months by the war
—and the last sixteen cars by the present
proprietor. There is no other paper in this
section that is even six years old. The
Courier was the last paper in tho Cherokee
country to suspeud during the war, and the
first to resume publication after its close.
This paper has always enjoyed a fair
portion of public confidence, and particu
larly since the war has constantly increased
circulation, but never so rapidly as dur-
thc past six months.
The laws of Georgia require that all the
legal advertising of tho respective counties
shall he done “in tho nearest newspaper
having the largest circulation, or a general
circulation in the county.” Under this law
the Courier now receives the advertising of
Floyd, Polk, Haralson, Walker and Dade
counties, and were there not a paper pub
lished in that county, would be entitled to
that of Chattooga also.
No other papor in Rome now receives the
legal advertising of even one county.
With these facts before them, advertisers
can easily determine the merits of the
Courier as an advertising medium,

Facts Worth Knowing.
During a recent trial or comparison of ordin
ary Baking Powders in New York, with Dooley's
Yeast Powder,'it was shown conclusively that
better results were attained with from one-half
to two-thirds theqnvntity of thelatter, than with
any other in market. The secret of the success
lies in tho care with which Dooley’s Yeas: Pow
der is prepared, and its entire freedom from sub
stances that are injurious to the systeni.
We challenge comparison at any and all times.
The verdiotof tho consumer is always in our fa
vor. For sale by ail Grocers.

' A Few Words to the Ladles.
Many ladies, particularly mothers nosing
complain of a tired, iistles3 feeling, or complete
exhaustion, on arising in the nuwning. On tno
wife ana mother devolves tho responsibility of
regulating the duties of. tho household. Her
cares are numerous, and tho mental as well as
the physical powers arc frequently called into
requisition. She often finds ’her lightest occu
pation a weary task and existence a burden,
while at the same time she bad no regular dis
ease. Hot tetter’s Stomach Bitters, if resorted
to at this period, will prove an unfailing remc-
dy for this annoying lamitade. The effects of
potent agent are soon, seen in ihq -ipqy
checks andclastfc step of the head of tho family,
as with rcstorod health and renewed spirits she
takes her accustomed place in the family circle
If this friend in need be regularly used, those
depressing symptoms will never be complained
of, and not-.only would lassitude- not be experi
enced, bnt many diseases following its advent be
avoided. As a medicinal agent it has no equal,
while its pleasing flavor and healthful effects
have made it a general favorite. It is ires from
all properties calculated to impair the syatem,
and Us operations are at once mild, soothing and
efficient. All who -haye- nzed the Bitters attest
Us virtues and commend it to sue. . ,
