Cook, E. C. Ramsay. W. H. Bass, President E. C. Ramsay, Secretary. 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. It is widely and well known, and its purity and unsurpassed drinking qual ities have established it in every household duced. where it has been intro- 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,,, , ... . not onlv on account of the economical I bottles; since winch time lie prooess'bv which the trees are started fam.ly tor all coughs in the soil, but also of the remarkable fact that a tree springing from the ground will make more wood in ten rears than a transplanted tree will j make in fifteen.

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. Height, 40 inches; weight of seed va ries frbrn 12 to 14 pounds per bushel. The farmers of Great Britain raise annually about 2,339,300 acres of tur nips, the average yield in that coun try being twenty-one tons. A large proportion, of this crop is fed to ien | sheep, which are turned into the fields has and gnaw' them from the ground, i which saves the expense of digging and storing. From Sparta Ishmaelite. 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 HOUSEHOLD NOTES. 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. Cottage Pudding.—l pint flour, 1 teacup milk, 1 egg, j teacup sugar, 1 teaspoonful soda, 2 teaspoonfuls cream tartar, salt. Either soft; or hard sauce.

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 good one. But this farmer has to net over 10 per cent, straight along for five years, good or bad season, rust or no rust, drought or flood, as bis fun- ! damental expense, and live outside of , that, or at the end of five years be un able to meet his mortgage. It can’t be done as a rule. It can ; only be done as a rare exception. Suet Pudding.—1 cup chopped suet, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup molasses, 1 cup milk, 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoonful of baking powder, salt. Boil 3 hours. Grandma’s Doughnuts.—6 cups dough, 1 cup sugar, 3 or 4 tablespoon- fnls melted lard, 1 egg, 4 teaspoonful of baking powder; salt and cinnamon. After cutting let stand for an hour be fore frying. Quick Biscuit.—8 cups flour, 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoonful baking powder; salt. Ginger Snaps.—2 cups molasses, 1 cup shortening, 1 teaspoonful of bak ing powder, 1 teaspoonful ginger; salt.

Down with the mortgage system. raisins, 1 pound citron, 1 teaspoonful cloves, 1 teaspoonful cinnamon, 1 nut meg or a little mace, 1 gill brandy or milk. An End to Bone Scraping. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says: “Having received so much 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 Salve, and mv leg is now sound and well.” Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cts. a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at 25c, per box by C. L. Case. Corn Cakk.—£ cup sugar, 1 table- spoonful butter, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoonful baking powder, 1 cup flour, 1 quart milk. Thicken with Indian meal. II the Society is in a pucker over the ques tion, “Shall our girls whistle?” Of course they may, if they strengthen their lungs by using the great Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. 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 the way of “protecting” to the facto 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. j We copy the following five which j come in regular order from that excel- ; lent and valuable paper “the Ishmae- i lite and Planters’ Journal” published i in Sparta, Ga. A cheap paint for a floor can be i made with five pounds of French ochre and a quarter of a pound of , giue, dissolved in two quarts of boil- [ i i0 i; water; then apply enough : boiled linseed oil to make the paint j now easily from the brush.

The flavor and crispness of celery are increased by soaking the stems in ice water for a short time before the stalks are placed on the table. Prof. Wagner publishes analyses in support of his conclusion that steam ed potatoes are far more nutritious than boiled ones. In the process of boiling, the vegetables give up con siderable portions of nutritious salts, while they also take up more water than when steamed, and become pro portionately weaker. Time to roast. The time required for roasting a turkey 10 pounds weight, stuffed, is three hours ; over 10 pounds four hours ; under 10 pounds, not less than two hours. A chicken will roast m a half hour or less, a goose takes one and three-fourths hours, or more, according to size, a young duck near ly an hour. Central anil Southwestern Railroads. Somebody points out that this year came in on Friday and will go out on Friday, and have fifty-three Fridays. Two months in the year come in on Friday and two go out on Friday. There are five months in the year that have five Fridays. The phases of the moon change five times on Friday and the sun was eclipsed on the fifth of March, which fell on Friday. The longest day in the year and the short est both fall on a Friday. People who have a superstitious prejudice against Friday will be apt to see strange coin cidences in this.
