W ITH the January number “Tho Galaxy” enters IN
twenty-third volume, and the twellth year of iis
existence.
“TheGaj^y” from the first has occupied a positi. n m
our pfJffi(tnttl literature peculiar to itself, and most sue-
CfwsAtlly has it filled its special field.
It has attracted to itself our most brilliant writers in all
departments. The leading statesmen and great. .»t g< n. r-
als have gladly used its pages to express their views. 1 lie
brightest novelists and most brilliant essayists liuve con
tributed to its pages. It bus culled forth a class ol writers
who would otherwise have found no plac•• m our peri' l-
IcalLiterature. It has accomplished ibis by . ncnuruging
tho expression of varying opinions by prominent thinkers
in all departments. The Galaxy itself has never had any
set theories of polities, religion, sociology, nor criticism
to propagate, aud to which its writers must heud Vli. ii
own Individual views.
The result of this freedom of thought and expression
has been that for years the public have had a most bril
liant purely literary magazine.
Its marked success proves clearly thnt a high-toned
Uterary magazine will be generously supported.
The public press have fully appreciated The Galaxy.
Tho Press, of Philadelphia calls it "a limd. I pciimlie .l.
a credit to American periodical literature.” The Journal
of Boston says that “it quite eclipses the more conserva
tive periodicals of the day.” The New York Times say s
that “there is not a dull page between its covers.” The
Chicago Times says that “it crowds more downright good
literature between its covers thau any other American
magazine. The Buffalo Express says that "it is certainly
the best of American magazines. The New Haven lo Uls
ter pronounces it "about as near perfection as anything
can be. Tho Standard of Chicago, says: "First oi all in
attraction wo place the Galaxy.” The New York Tribune
says that “it well sustains its reputation for vigorous and
racy writing.” The Sunday-School Times says "it is the
richest of many monthlies which have given such an . n-
viable name to American magazine literature.” The N« w
York Graphic says "it is more in accordance with the
spirit and feelings of the American public than any other
magazine published” The New York Independent say-
that “it is more varied in its ran-." than any oth. r."
Surely tho editors aud publishers ol The Galaxy .night P*
feel proud of the success which has attended th-ir elf .its
in establishing a first-class indo undent literary magazine
For the coining year no efforts " ill be spared by cither
editor or publisher to make the Galaxy in cv.-ry way
worthy of its great reputation. Indeed, they propose, ii
is possible, to mike it even surpass itself.
Fora magazine edited as The Galaxy is, with all the
spirit and freshness of the daily pre.-s, and which a'.w ... s
seizes the subjects of greatest interest to the public, it i~
nearly Impossible to announce a fixed prcg.imme for a
year ahead. Some few of the leading 1'iv.tur. however,
may be stated. The Galaxy in 1S77 expeels to give its
readers serial stories by thnt brilliant writer Ju.-i in Mc
Carthy, aud Mrs. Annie Ed wards, ono of the brightest ami
fresh st novelists of our day. Also shorter ires 1,
Henry James, Jr., Rebecca Harding Davi-, Mrs. John
Sherwood, Mrs, Lucy II. Hoop r, Miss Rose Terry, Mrs.
Jane G.Austiu,George Cary Egleston, Edgar Fawcett,Nora
Perry, and many others.
A new series of State papers by Hon. Gidenu Welles,
late Secretary of tho Navy, called the ‘‘Lincoln Adminis
tration," began in the January number.
Many of Our leading statesmen will, daring the year,
oontrlbuto articles on subjects ot greatest public :m‘ r. -t
(which can not yet be definitely anuouu ••(!.) Richard
Grant White will conclude his series of artiel. h "'mi
Reading Shakespeare,” to tie followed by articles sug
gested by his recent experience abroad.
Essays on popular subjects may be expected by Charles
Wyllys Elliott, S. G. Young, John Burroughs, K .-e Hil
lard, Fannie Roper Feudgc. l’i of. Boy.-s- n. l'r. c in, It.

others.
The ‘‘Departments” which have given the Galaxy such
an enviable reputation will be maintained during Gl
ooming year with all their foru er lip- at d vigor, "i'.iit
wood,” by Philip Quilibet, is always interesting.
Tho "Scientific Miscellany” has always been one of tin
most valuable features of his magazine. "Current Liter
ature” and the “Nobulie” are always interesting.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at once
agreeable,
healthy, and ef
fectual for pre-
serving tho
l' a ’ r - Faded or
"**™\ gray hair is soon
S restored to its
original color,
with the gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be 6aved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean aud vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
Which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hai- the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambric,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.

Mr. Joint T. Hogora, Romly Bpiiugs, Liturons
county, bremls tho lierkshiro, and misoH unnu-
itlly fifteen pigs to tho bow. llo bows rye for
winter mid Hpring pustumge, gives them tho
gleiuiitig of Himdl grain fields and orchards (iu
which speckled peas are planted) in summer,
and ground peas, Held peas and potatoes in the
lull. Alter the poa fields aud potato patches
me gleaned they are penned and fed on uieal,
potatoes and turnips, generally boiled.
1-le kills at from ten to eighteen months old,
gets an average of ‘200 pounds of net pork,
which costs him six cunts per pound, lie led,
in 1875, one hog, which was kept in a close pen,
niue bushels of corn and tho slops from the
kitchen, aud got iu return 120 pounds ol pork.
He thinks tho manure saved, applied to corn,
would iuorcaso the crop at least uiuo bushels.
l)r, J. J. Groover, ol Brooks county, breeds
the Berkshire, crossed on tho common stock,
which run on ground peas in wiutor, green rye
in Spring, with some corn daily while on rye;
they next go to tho field from which outs have
been harvested; then to rye sown for them, lie
fattens on field peas, potatoes aud corn. Ho
raises annual y fifteen pigs to each sow, kills at
twelve months old, and gets an average of 150
pounds, which costs him six cents per pound.
Mr. Reuben Jones, Newton, Baker county,
b ' ed.-i the Berkshire crossed on the common
st -ck, and raises, annually, filteen pigs to the
sow. His hogs have tho run of pea fields and
ground pea patches during tho winter, unculti
vated fields and gleaning ot small grain in sum
mer, and are fattened on field peas, ground
peas, potatoes, turnips, and boiled corn. Ho
kills at from eighteen to twenty-four months,
averaging 200 pounds, and costing five cents
per pound. His hogs are penned every night,
and fed lightly, aud turned into tho fields dur
ing the day.
Dr. J. S. Lavender, Barnesville, Pike county,
breeds the cross of Chester, Essex, and Berk
shire, raises an averogo of ten pigs to the sow’,
never feeds corn until two weeks before killing.
Ilis hogs have clover, barley, rye, oats, plum
orchards, sweet potatoes, turnips and collards.
For the butchor pon, he feeds on corn-seed meal.
Ho kills part at eight mouths, and part at eigh
teen m nths. They average 225 pounds net,
and cost six cents per pound.
Dr. 11. H. Cary, LaGrauge, Troup county,
breeds tho common stock, which run iu the
woods in winter, and on Bermuda grass sod,
and in tho harvest fields, in summer. They fat
ten in tho pea fie'd and potato patch in the fall,
and are finished on corn. He raises eleven pigs
to the -ow; kills at twelve mouths old; average,
200 pounds net; costs six cents.
Mr. W. A. Harris, Isabella, Worth county,
breeds the Chester, crossed on the grade Guinea.
He feeds his sows and pigs until the latter are
largo enough to “tak<* care of themselves,” and
turns them into tho woods, feeding enough corn
to keep them gentle. In spring they are turned
into the harvest fields, from which they go to
pea fields, theu to ground peas and potatoes,
and are fed on corn a short time before being
killed. IIo raises sixteen pigs to each sow; kill,
at two years old; gets an average of 170 pounds,
net, which costs him six and a half cents.
Mr. I. W. Carter, Walnut Orovo, Walton
county, breeds the cross of Berkshire on com
mon stock. He gives them the run of harvest
fields, oiolmrds, and pea-fields in summer aud
early fall, and fallens them on peas, turnips,
potatoes, and corn. IIo regards tho feeding ol
sows (while nursing,) and pigs for several
months after they are weaned, of prime impor
tance. Ho kills at eighteen months old; gets an
average ol 250 pounds of net pork, which costs
him six cents; he raises twelve pigs to tho sows.
It will bo Been, from the practice ol these
larmers, that while they have not. made the
raising of pork a specialty, they have relied
very little upon corn, except during the latter
pail of tho preparation b-r the butcher pen.
It is a notorious /act, that those farmers who
have devoted enough attention to provision
crops to produce nil their supplies ot meat and
bread, have be-n more prosperous than those
who have devoted most of their time to the pro
duction of coi’on,J.tml relied upon its proceeds
to puivlmso supplies. While Illicis niriuers
can raise more corn per acre, and at less cosi
per bohlo", th in those in Georgia, Mie dill- r-
enee in the value ot tho lard, and, hence the
investment involved, together with our mild
climate, and variety ol cheap crops, which are
gathered by the hogs themselves, give us a de
cided advantage. Again, the difference in tho
price of pork in Illinois and Georgia gives the
Georgia farmer additional advantage, whether
he ' ll- the pork, or <• - sutues it on liis farm;
for, in tho latter case, it saves in his pocket tho
amount which would be required to purchase
what he i-ousumcH.
A certain number of hogs can be raised on
every Southern farm, not only, without cost,
but wiih decided advantage to the farm. They
consume the wash products, which would other-
wih • be entirely lost, such as the products of
the forests and old fi< UU, the gleanings ol small
grain fields, pea fields, potato patches, orchards,
et-., which no other annual will consume, be
sides destroying vast number of insects inju
rious to vegetation, aud especially lo fruit.
Pi (s in the peach orchard are almost necessary
to success, since, with tho fallen fruit, they de
stroy Uu vie which it contains, and thus protect
future crops.
N tw.thstanding the favorable surroundings,
making our blate apparently tho homo of the
hog, such lno-bt-eu ihe infatuation fur cottou
culture, caused by a combination of circum
stances, that our farmers have neglected to avail
themselves of their natural advantages, and
purchased many articles ol prime necessity, in
cluding many million pounds ol bacon, lard
aud pork, besides thousands of live hogs. B •-
twoeu yeptember 1st, 1875, aud September 1st,
1870, there were 53,051,010 pounds oi bacon,
pork and lard imported iuto Georgia, over one
railroad. There was probably half of that
amount imported through other channels, or
80,131,521 pounds for tho whole State, notwith
standing the fact that there has been a consid
erable increase in tho number of hogs raised in
the State within the last few years.
This amount is, thereloro, less thau the aver
age annual importation for the lust ton years.
Assuming this, however, as the average for that
period, aud I2j cents as the average wholesale
cash price, and Georgia h-s expended annually,
during the last dr cade*, $10,053,010 for bacon
and lard, or, in the tun years, $100,530,400,
which is only $22,387,470 less than half tho
aggregate value ol the whole taxable property of
the Stato.
The dopre siou of the fanning interests of
tho Statu is not surprising when such a drain
upou her productive resources is permitted. Be
sides, tho above calculation is made upon tho
supposition thut tho whole of the bacon aud
lard was purchased at cash prices, while it is
well known that a very large proportion of it
was bought on time, at tho most exorbitant
rates of interest. Let any planter who has pur
chased his bacon and lard for tho lust ten years,
sum up whut it has cost him, and add to each
year’s outlay tho interest on tho money, aud he
'••ill see where a large part of his profits have
gone. It may bo objected that it would cost
Boint'thiug to raise pork. Vory true; but tho
reports previously given show thut pork need
not cost more thau six cents, which is less than
half the average wholesale cash price, uud it
can be raised oven cheaper by proper attention;
so that at least half the above amount, or more
thau $50,000,000 would have been saved by rai: -
leg it ui home.
No other domestic animal adonis such prompt
or abundant returns tor tho investment as the
hog. By good feeding, pigs farrowed in March
may bo converted into pork tho following De
cember, yielding at least a thousand pur oout.,
iu nine mouths, on first investment.
The unusually high price of colton soon after
tho close of the war, when tho fortunes of tho
peoplo were broken, naturally led to excessive
production of that staple, to tho ueg ect ol pro
vision crops, and it has beeu difficult to recover
from the habits, both ol thought aud practice,
then acquired, although the price has now fallen
until it requires more than a pound of cotton to
purchase a pound of bacon.
Au acre of land planted in com and peas,
potatoes, ground peas, or ohulas, will produce
more pork than the cotton raised on the same
acre will purchase, although tho cotton will cost
more thau any of tho oilier crops, tbtill, wo
find farmers raising cotton to purchase pork.
The comfort and interest of tho farmer imper
atively demand the (reduction ot sufficient sup
plies for home consumption.
Iu 1870 there were 00,050 farms iu Georgia.
The Uoinptiollor General reported last year
28,737,530 acres of improved laud iu the Stato.
Tho average bizo of hums was, therefore, 410
acres.
Correspondents report an average of ten pigs
raised from each sow, annually; three bows to
the farm would, therefore, give lor tho Stato an
annual increase ol 2,008,080, just 62,504 more
than tho whole number of hogs iu the State in
1800, when vory little pork was purchased. Ad
mitting that there are serious dilliculties aitend
ing hog raising iu Georgia, the lact that uninj
larmers iu every section ol tho Stato do raise a
lull supply, shows that these obstacles are not
insurmountable. ixty-three per cout. ol cor
respondents represent tho principal obstacles as
resting iu the larmers themselves, who fail t"
use tho means necessary to secure success.
There would, without doubt, bo less disease aud
stealing if the stuck received proper atten
tion. There has beeu a gradual improvement
this regard lor the last lew years. Thu crop
correspondents report this year eleven per cent,
inoro hogs iu tho Stato than last year. The sumo
correspondents reported ton per cent, more corn
planted last year thau the year before, aud a
yield ol ten percent, more thau tho average ol
ihe five years previous. This increase, proba
bly, exerted no little influence upon tho number
of hogs on hand this spring.

In 1840 our war with Mexico was inaugurated
without direct authority ol Congress, which,
however, jnstitt d the act alterward; and a sec

before Congress has an oppoituuily to prevent
it. But let us hope not, aud trust that Congress
will so speak aud act in this matter as to save
the country from th-.* calamity of a war waged
without good cause to promote the popularity
aud interests ol individuals and to please those
who falsely deem war the chief glory of a nation.
