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. Guernsey, Itev. J S. C.

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. Ayer’s 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. Prepared by Dr. J.

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. SAVE THE HAY. SCRIBNER’S MONTHLY.
