Great Britain and Ireland contain
130.000.000 head of poultry, and Great
Britains' annual egg bill amounts to
$31,250,000.
It is said that the sheep manure will
make wheat grow stout and short
with heavy heads, where other ma
nure produce long, soft straw, and not
so solid heads.
The total amount of beef consumed
annually in the United States aver
ages about 159 pounds to each inhab
itant, while in England the average
is but 104 pounds.
Short cotton crops and big provi
sion crops for the next ten years
would set the South up again on her
financial feet. But nothing short of
Omnipotence can ever bring about
such a conjuncture of affairs.
The fruit crop of California this sea
son will be unusually large. Parties
are contracting for their raisin grapes
at $20 per ton on the vines. The yield
of vineyards in good bearing condi
tion is from four to ten tons per acre.
Darving plays a most important
part in a successful rotation of crops,
and perhaps no better means can be
found of turning all kind of grain and
fodder into valuable manure, and so
adding to the fertility of the soil than
by feeding them to dairy cows.
Pigs can be freed from vermin by
washing them in buttermilk, to which
carbolic acid in crystals has been ad
ded in the proportions of a large
spoonful of the acid to gallon of but
termilk. After thoroughly mixing
the ingredients the wash can be ap
plied with a brush broom.
The Farm Journal thinks that there
is nothing so cheap for stock as grass,
and nothing makes better beef or
mutton. It is also excellent to make
pork. Add a little meal or middlings.
Anyway, make the stock fat while
the grass lasts. It is very poor econ
omy to wait till cold weather and
then resort to hay and grain.
With regard to protecting trees from
the ravages of insects which climb up
the trunk from the ground and destroy
the leaves, blossoms and fruit, some
paint a ring of coal tar or liquid gum
on the trunk and in some cases paint
the whole of the trunk. This is more
or less ineffectual, as some of the in
sects settle upon this adhesive sub
stance and perish, but in doing so
form a bridge for others to pass over.
A more effectual and permanent pro
tector was said to have been invented
by a German some time since. The
method which he adopted was to use
a metal collar, which contained in its
lower part a rim forming a kind of
dish, while the upper part supported
a screen which protected the lower
part from the influences of the weath
er. It was made in two halves, which
when attached to the tree, were join
ed by two pins. The apparatus is
slightly larger than the tree, and the
space between it is then calked with
hemp or cotton. This is afterward
saturated with tar or petroleum, to
prevent birds from picking it out. In
the upper part there was a small
opening closed by a cork; through
this hole a liquid composed of glyce
rine, tar, mineral oil, by itself or
mixed with poison, was poured, and
the cork replaced. When properly ad
justed it was stated that insects could
not ascend, and that the apparatus
would remains effective during the
whole season without attention.
WHAT IS THE MATTER?
A writer in the Country Gentleman
says: The quantity of moisture drawn
from the soil during a day, by even a
single plant of rag-weed, is simply as
tonishing. How much, then in* pro
portion does a large number of such
plants take from the soil, which should
go to building up a number of
cabbages? I have often observed a
cobbage plant, which had a large rag
weed growing close beside it, almost
standing still in growth, owing to the
voracious feeding of the weed; and
during hot, dry days it would often
become wilted for lack of moisture
while the more fortunate companion
in the same patch would be standing
erect and full of vigor owing to the
absence of weeds drawing the moist
ure from the ground, instead of the
cabbages.
American produce is constantly
seeking wider markets. Improved
transportation facilities, both at home
and abroad, tend to facilitate this
movement. Thus one of the new and
and promising matters in California
trade is the exportation of fruit to
China and Australia. A single San
Francisco firm has orders for apples
this year from half a dozen business
houses in China.
We give here an average daily ra-
. tion that an English dairyman sup
plies to his cows: A mixture of cut
hay and straw, 20 pounds; bean meal,
2 pounds; ground oats, 2 pounds. A
mixture of wheat and barley meal, 2
pounds; linseed, 2 pounds; bran, 2
pounds; roots, 25 pounds. Long hay,
divided into 2 rations, 5 pounds; total,
00 pounds. It would be well for our
dairymen to notice what a variety of
different standard feeds are used in
this combination, and hereafter give
to their own cows a greater variety.
Humane treatment, regularity of
milking and feeding, exercises a mark
ed effect on the yield and quality of
the produce of the dairy cow, harsh
treatment irritates and* disturbs the
nervous system; irregular feeding re
tards the natural action of the diges
tive and assimilative organs; one day
they suffer from depletion, and the
next day they are stinted. Irregular
ity in milking frequently causes con
siderable suffering of the animal, and
detracts from its future usefulness.
There are 050 butter and cream fac
tories in Iowa. 497 in Illinois, 130 in
Wisconsin, 100 in Kansas, 100 in Min
nesota. 01 in Missouri, 50 in Indiana,
and 40 in Nebraska—a total of 1,788 in
eight States. The value of the dairy
products of Iowa alone in 1884 was
$50,000,000, and that of the United
States was $500,000,009. The value of
the milch cows of the United States
is put at $700,000,000 in excess of the
entire capital stock of all the national
banks and trust companies of the
country.
The prudent housewife well knows
the importance of sending her hus
band to each day’s business, armed
against its annoyances and vexations,
by a cup of Coffee for breakfast. If
he encounters the various worries of
life handicapped by a bad coffee as a
starter, she knows that sour looks and
more sour temper will greet her on
his return at night. To prevent all
such disastrous occurrences the surest
method is to use Levering's Coffee.

A New York farmer of many years’
experience states that he has had the
best success in exterminating Canada
thistles by seeding the land to grass
and mowing when the thistles are in
blossom, but before the seeds are suf
ficiently matured to germinate. By
following this practice, and cutting
all those in the pastures at the {same
stage of growth every year, but' few
will be found at the end* of five years.
In some cases it may be necessary to
mow them twice each year.
Good Results in Every Case.
Disadvantages of Transplant-
KD Treks.—Dr. Loring is of the opin
ion that while we can transplant trees
for permanent growth, yet a tree that
occupies the land on which it was
planted, and has never been trans
planted, will grow much better than
a transplanted tree, the same as corn
and wheat and other crops that are
ulanted in the ground. This is true,,, , ... .

Dr. Lazenby, of the Ohio Experi
ment Station’ says of orchard grass
That it is indigenous to every country
in Europe, and is found in Asia, Afri
ca and America. In the United States
it was first cultivated in Virginia in
1750. It is specially adapted to strong,
rich lands. It affords pasturage early
in spring and yields a great amount
of aftermath. It often looks coarse,
but iu reality is tender, palatable and
nutritious. The habit of growing in
turfs or bunches may be overcome by
sowing seeds more thickly, and by
the use of the harrow in early spring.
Some farmers Sow T it with clover and
like it better than timothy for the
purpose. There are few’ who have
given the grass a fair and impartial
trial who are not pleased with it. It
should be cut when in blossom or very
soon after. Ripe orchard grass makes
very poor hay. On our trial plots the
orchard grass has not winter-killed,
and has invariably yielded a larger
amount of early foliage than any
other variety. It begins to head a-
bout the middle of May, and is in full
bloom the second week in June.

The farmers of Great Britain raise
annually about 2,339,300 acres of tur

has and gnaw' them from the ground,

It has been many a day since money
was as scarce and as hard to command
at any price, as is the case in Geor
gia, to-day. In this immediate sec
tion of the State there isn’t an inter
est or business that is not cramped by
the money drouth. There are indi
viduals in every calling in compara
tively easy circumstances, and a very
few that may be deemed moderately
prosperous; but the great mass of the
people in all of the callings that make
up the business life of this section
are in cramped circumstances. Why
is this the case?
A full and correct answer to the
question would embrace a longer list
of details than can be embraced in one
newspaper article, but some of the
more prominent causes may be sta
ted.
It may not be popular to say it but
it is nevertheless true that too little
work is done by the white people in
Georgia. There is idleness enough a-
mong this class to account for a large
measure of the hardness of the times.
Hiring substitutes doesn’t pay heavy
profits in the business of every-day
life. One man can’t do two men’s
work.
Again, the negro isn’t a remarkable
success as a laborer. The race is not
loaded down with industrious tenden
cies. A very small proportion of this
class even pretends to do regular
w'ork, and those of them that are w ill
ing to work six days in the w'eek, even
when the weather is favorable and
wages are sure, may be reckoned on
one’s fingers.
If there were only these two draw
backs to the prosperity of this section
the case against it would be made
out. But this isn’t all.
It is true that the volume of money
in the country is too small, but this
does not account for the fact that the
scarcity bears with peculiar hardness
on our section. Money might be
knee-deep in the money centers of the
country without moving out in this
direction in the absence of a moving
cause. Money doesn't seek its level
like water. It doesn't rush in like air
to fill vacuums. It takes produce to
move it.
People that have for sale anything
that commands a market will find the
money-current flowing towards them.
Isn’t this true?
Cotton is about the only money-
crop here. As long as it lasts the cur
rent flows in this direction. When it
is gone the stream dries up. If other
staple crops were produced the drouth
would not set in so early or so fiercely.
Cotton is a wonderful financial back
er, but it doesn’t have a fair showing.
It is saddled with ail the demands of
farm and home necessities; and, rich
as this source of revenue is, it is une
qual to all these manifold demands.
The last cotton crop of Georgia,
at 40 dollars per bale, was worth
$38,000,000. Where are the immense
proceeds?
Suppose the wagons, plows, fertili
zers, corn, meat, lard, horses, mules,
and other similar expense items which
are charged up to the above proceeds
were, on the contrary, so produced in
the State as to constitute an addition
to the above fund, instead of a drain
upon it. In that event, it is very evi
dent that the money stringency would
be less severe than it is.
Other causes of hard times undoubt
edly exist, but those mentioned are
the principal ones; and the mere state
ment of them is sufficient to suggest
the remedy. Bad as the outlook is,
there is nothing in it to justify dis-
i couragement on the part of those who
intend to pursue more saving and
more industrious methods. With a
fertile soil, a salubrious climate and
the guarantee of the early and the
latter rains, nothing but the habit of
thrift and a wise home economy is
lacking to bless our section with the
actual presence of a real prosperity.
If, however, the old methods are to
prevail; if idleness and wastefulness
are to constitute the rule instead of
the exception; if the cotton crop is to
continue to be a beast of burden bear
ing in addition to its own expenses
all the other necessary outlays for
home and farm—then the money fam
ine will become a sure and growing
evil and genuine prosperity will be
come a permanent stranger within
our borders. This is the truth; be
lieve it and build upon it.
GEORGIA FARM MORTGAGES.
num-
Atlanta Capitol.
Loan agents have been for a
ber of years scattering mortgages
upon our Georgia farms.
There are probably $1,500,000 of
such mortgages in sums of from $300
to $3,000. Numbers of the borrowers
have failled to meet the r indebted
ness and the lands are being sold.
Some of our best lawyers are making
a handsome thing of it in foreclosing
these claims.
The farmer first paid from 30 to 50
per cent, for supplies and guano ad
vances. He thought it a move forward
to borrow money for three to five
years’ time, mortgaging $3 of land for
$1 of loan, paying 16 per cent, of com
mission in a lump to the agent, and 8
per cent, interest a year.
For instance on a $8,000 loan he gave
a mortgage on a $9,000 farm. His
commission, 16 per cent., was $480,
which left him only $2,520 cash. His
interest of 8 per cent, on $3,000 is
$240 a year, or $1,200 for five years,
his account stands at the end of the
five years:
Whole loan due $3,000
Commission gone 480
Yearly interest five years 1,200

Corn Beer.—This is a cheap and
plain beverage but it is wholesome
and agreeable. Boil a pint of good
sound corn until it becomes soft with
out burstng; add to it a quart of good
molasses, and one gallon of water.
Put the corn, molasses and water, in
a jug, shake it well and in 24 hours
the beer will be excellent. When all
the beer is used, just add more mo
lasses and water. The same corn will
answer for several months and after
the first time, the beer will be fit for
use in 12 hours in warm weather. A
gallon will not cost over 10 cents, and
a glass but a fraction over a half a
cent. When well made it is better and
more wholesome than cider.

place and pays for it $2,160, or $232 a
year practically, or 174 per cent. He
lacks $360 of doubling the amount in
the five years—that is he gets $2,520 in
cash and pays out for it $2,160, or
within $360 of the $2,520. He pays
commission $480, which he gets no use
of, and pays 8 per cent, interest on it
for five years, being $39.40 a year and
$192 for the five years.
Now, let us see what the $9,000 farm
has to do in five years. Besides sup
porting its master, his family and
hands, it has to produce a surplus of
$4,680 in the five years. This is a to
tal of .over 50 per cent, for the whole !
five years or over 10 per cent, a year, j
A business that nets 6 per cent. * is a

An End to Bone Scraping.

benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let suffering humanity
know it. Have had a running sore on
my leg for eight years; my doctors told
me I would have to have the bone
scraped or leg amputated. I used,
instead, three bottles of Electric Bit
ters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica

The keeping qualities of late plant
ed celery are superior to that set ear
ly in the season. Before transplant
ing celery the bed in which it is grown
should be thoroughly saturated with
water. Where this is done, and care
is used to take up a good-sized ball of
dirt with each root, the growth will
not be checked by transplanting.
With the everlasting flood of mon
ey required to pay pensions, interest
oil the bonded debt and subsides in

ry lords, it isn’t strange that the poor
masses in the United States are hav
ing a hard time.
A correspondent of a Tennessee pa
per, the Spirit of the Farm, Nashville,
says that “thousands of grade Short
horns are now in use in diaries which
will produce from thirty-five to fifty
pounds of milk and make from one to
one and one-half pounds of butter per
day for six or eight months, and at
the end of this time will weigh from
1,300 to 1,600 pounds, and will sell for
beef at four cents per pound; and the
steer calves from such cows, by
pure-bred Short-horn bull, will weigh
at one year old 650 to 800 pounds; at
two years old, 850 to 1,100; at three
years old, 1,200 to 1,500 pounds.
These steers are always worth from
34 to 5cts a pound. Statistics show
that there are more grade Short-horns
used in the dairies, both in this coun
try and in England, than all other
breeds combined. After years of ex
perience, the verdict of those engaged
in a pursuit should be conclusive.
The cost of food varies according to
the locality, seasons, etc., so that any
one can make their own estimate of
the cost of production.”
Bitter Bread.
A Clear Skin
Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them a disageeable, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use of
all impure baking powders, and is
caused either by their containing
alum (introduced to make a cheap ar
ticle,) by the impure and adulterated
character of other ingredients used,
or from the ignorance of their manu
facturers of the proper methods of
combining them. These baking pow
ders leave in the bread a residuum
formed of lime, earth, alum, or other
deleterious matters, not always,
though frequently, tastable in the
food, and by all physicians classed as
injurious to health.* The Royal Bak
ing Powder is free from this serious
defect. In its use no residuum is left,
and the loaf raised by it is always
sweet, light and wholesome, and no
ticeably free from the peculiar taste
complained of. The reason of this is
because it is composed of nothing but
absolutely pure materials, scientifical
ly combined in exactly the proper
proportions of acid and alkali to act
upon and destroy each other, while
producing the largest amount of rais
ing power. We are justified in this
assertion from the unqualified state
ments made by the Government chem
ists, who after thorough and exhaust
ive tests recommended the “Royal”
for Governmental use because of its
superiority over all others in purity,
strength and wholesomeness. There
is no danger of bitter bread or bis
cuit where it alone is used.

Prof. Wagner publishes analyses in
support of his conclusion that steam

than boiled ones. In the process of
boiling, the vegetables give up con

portionately weaker.
