“THE GALAXY."
W ITH tho January number "Tho Galaxy” enters its
twenty-third volume, und the twelfth year of its
existence.
"The Galaxy" from the first has occupied a position in
our periodical literature peculiar to itself, and most
cessfully has it filled its special field.
It has attracted to itself our most brilliant writers iu all
departments. The leading statesmen and greatest gt
als have gladly used its pages to express their views. The
brightest novelists and most brilliant essayists have cor
tvibuted to its pages. It has called forth a class of write:
who would otherwise have found no pluce iu our period
ical literature. It has accomplished this by encouraging
tho expression of varying opinions by prominent thinkc
In all departments. Tho Galaxy itself has never had
own Individual views.
Tho 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 that a high-toned
literary magazine will be generously supported.
Tho public press have fully appreciated The Galaxy
Tho Press, of Philadelphia calls it "a model periodical,
a credit to American periodical literature." The Journal
of Boston says that "it quite eclipses tho moro conscrv
ttvo periodicals of tho day." Tho New York Tim-
that "there is not a dull page between its covers.” The
Chicago Times soys that "it crowds more downright gt
literature between its covers than any other American
magazine. The Buffalo Express says that "it iB certainly
tho beBt of American magazines. The New Haven Regis
ter pronounces it "about us near perfection us anything
can be. Tho Standard of Chicago, says: "First of all iu
attraction we place tho Galaxy." The New York Tribune
Bays 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 on-
viable name to American magazine literature.” Tho New
York Graphic says "it is more in accordance with the
spirit and feelings of tho American public than any other
magazine published” The New York Independent says
that "it is more varied in its range than any other."
Surely the editors aud publishers of The Galaxy ought to
feel proud of the success which has attended their efforts
in establishing a first-class Independent literary magazine
For the coming year no efforts ill be spared by either
editor or publisher to make the Galaxy in every way
worthy of its great reputation. Indeed, they propose, if
is possible, to make it even surpass itself.
For a magazine edite:l us The Galaxy is, with ail the
Spirit and freshness of the daily press, and which always
seizes the subjects of greatest interest to the public, it'is
nearly im> ossible to auuonnce a fixed prcgaminc for a
year ahead. Some few of the leadiug features, however,
may be stated. The Galaxy in 1877 expects to give its
readers serial stories by that brilliant writer Justin Mc
Carthy, aud Mrs. Annie Edwards,one cf the brightest and
fresh >8t novelists of our day. Also shorter t tories by
Henry James, Jr., Rebecca Harding Davis, Mrs. John
Sherwood, Mrs, Lucy H. Hooper, Miss Rose Terry, Mrs.
Jane G.Austin,George Cary Egleston, Edgar Fawcett,Nora
Perry, and many others.
A new series of State papers by Hon. Gideon Welles,
late Secretary of tho Navy, called the "Lincoln Adminis
tration," began in the January number.
Many of our leading statesmen will, during the year,
gested by his recent experience abroad,
Essays on popular subjects may he expected by Charles
Wyllya Elliott, S. G. Young, John Burroughs, Kate Mil-
lard, Fannie RoperFeudge, Prof. Boyesen. Dr. Coan, Dr.
Guernsey, Rev. J S.C. Abbott, U. B. Kimball, Grenville
Murray. Albert Rhodes, und many others. Poetry by
Bayard Taylor,John G. Saxe,William Winter. Paul Hayne,
G. P. Lathrop, Joaquin Miller, J. W. DcForcst.aml many
others.
Tho "Departments" which have given the Galaxy such
an enviable reputat on will bo maintained during the
coming year with all their font or life and vigor. “Drift
wood,” by Philip Quilibot, is always interesting.
Tho "Scientific Miscellany" has'nlways been one of tho
most valuable features of this magazine. "Current Liter
ature” and the "Nebuliu" arc always interesting.
This standard article is compound
ed with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
Cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing baldness, and mak
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M.D., State Assayer
of Massachusetts, says, “The con
stituents are pare, and carefully se
lected for excellent quality ; and I
consider it the Best Preparation
Ibr its intended purposes.”

Atbuila, Ga., Oct., D.1877. j
COBN.
Correspondents wore requested, iu the cur
rent questions of this mouth, to rnnko compari
sons with the yield of 1876.
Iu consolidatiug tho reports from tho several
counties, it was evident that many of them
compared tho prospective yield of tho present
crops with a average yield. It is, however, alt-o
quite evident that tho estimates of the yield
ol tho corn crop are higher than those of lust
month, and tho dofloioucy, consequently, not so
great as was feared. But a small portion of tho
crop has been gathered, aud it will require an
other mouth to secure satisfactory estimates.
COTTON,
Tho samo remarks as to orrors of comparison
are applicable also to tho col ton crop, with this
exception: that tho prospect seems not ho good
as one mouth ngo.
The probable yield for tho Stato may bo so
down at 76 per cout. of an averiigo crop. A
small majority ot the correspondents report tho
pickiug as well advanced as last year. Tho
equinoctial storm whioh occurred from 18th to
^Oth of tho month, was quito disastrous iu its
fleets upon the open cotton, cspenially in
South-wcBteru Georgia. Ono correspondent in
Stewart county reports a very destructive fall of
hail during the last week in September, utterly
destroying the cotton, peas and remaining fruit
throughout the section visited by tho phenome
non.
A larger proportion than usual of tho cotton
this season will bo stained and otherwise in
jured, aud of course, bring a corresponding low
price. The rust has injured tho yield 11 per
cent, in the State, the loss falling chiefly on
East, Southwest and middle Georgia, in the
order named. Caterpillars have appeared only
in a few counties in Southwest Georgia, the
probable injury amounting in this seotion to
about 3 per oent. of the crop—in the State at
largo, 1 per oent.
Sugar Cane.—Tho recent rains about the 20th
September, and later, will prove greatly bene
ficial to the enne crop, and with a late frost
moderate yield will be assured. Iu some coun
ties, however, the crop is reported as ruined.
Sorghum.—This is the only crop that is re
ported above an average. The yield generally
has been very fine.
The several varieties which go under the gen
eral name of sorghum, seem peculiarly indepeu-
dent of seasons and locations, and subject to no
casualties, disease or insects. It is one of the
most valuable plants that has been introduced
into the country in the last fifty years. It growi
well and produces remunerative crops on very
ordinary soil—does still better on rich—is very
easy of cultivation, requires inexpensive ma
chinery, and the syrup properly made, is a val
uable and healthful food. The prejudices that
long prevailed against its cultivation aud the
use of the syrup are fast giving way.
Field Peas, are generally inferior, though the
yield is very good in North Georgia and East
Georgia. The drought of July aud August
almost entirely cut off the early crop.
Ground Peas and thujas.—These important
bog crops haie shared in tho general injury
from drought—chufas to a less extent. This
crop, like sorghum, seems almost independent
of soil and seuson—growing luxuriantly on or-
d nary lauds, even through a protracted drought,
and producing a large yield of fat-producing
food for hogs. As it is destined to occupy
prominent place among the stock food crops of
he South, a few hints as to tho method ol cul
tnre, will bo appropriate. Any ordinary soil
will answer—light soil perhaps best. Prepare
as for cotton, in low beds 2£ to 3 feet apart, and
plant from 1st April to 15th May, ono to twi
tubers in a place, 18 to 21 inches distant, and
cultivate shallow in most convenient way. They
are very easily cul ivated, and when fairly start
ed ore an overmatch for ordinary grass. For
saving seed a plat of ground, free from gravel
should be selected. One peck will plant an
acre.
Sweet Potatoes.—Thero has been no manifest
improvement in this crop since last report. It
is believed that the recent general rains will
make a great change by frost, if the latter does
uot occur earlier thau usual.
Turnips.—The acreage in turnips is reported
at 102 compared to last year, but owing to dry
eather in August, and until 20th September,
the Bland has been very imperfect. With a mild
fall a fair crop may realized irom the sowing in
latter part of tho month.
SMALL GRAIN—WHEAT.
The indications are, that the area to bo de
voted to wheat will be 117 computed to the uot e-
age of last year.
There is a wide-spread determination on the
part of farmers to become less dependent on
tho Northwest aud upon intermediate merchants
for supplies of flour. Even in Southeast Geor
gia one coi respondent reports a prospective in
crease in the crop this fall at 250 per cent! This
determination is due, iu largo measure, to the
extraordinary success of the crop last season.
It is, to a great degree an impulse, but
happily, in tho right direction. Much has
already been published on this subject in former
reports, and perhaps it is not necessary to re
peat much of what has been written. Farmers
who are determined to succeed will have
perfected their plans, secured seed, and pre
pared fert lizers ere this report will reach many
of them, and are only waitiug for tho seed time
toariive. Let every Btep in the preparation of
the soil, the manures, the selection of seed, and
the sowing, be as nearly perfect as possible.
Sow no more than cau be sown acccording lo
the requirements which have been taught by
experience and by precept to be necessary to
success. A farmer who shall merely scratch iu
a half bushel or threo prckR of inferior seed to
the acre, on thin land covered with cornstalks,
grass aud weeds, using, perhaps, tho worn-out
plow from the last summer's plowing, has no
right to expect a good yield of good wheat—
no right to complain if Providence does not
smile upon his siipr-hod efforts, or perform a
miracle for his speoial benefit.
The farmer who lias not Recured his seod
wheat, should do so without delay. Early rip-
euiug red wheats are the most reliable. Early
Red May, Early Purple Btaw (red), Fultz, Nica-
raugua, are recommended. Tappabannock
(white) does well in Middle and North Georgia.
Sow on oottou land if possible. Prepare the
ground by deep plowing, and sow the seed and
lertilizerR, and harrow or plow. It will pay to
roll the land after coveriug the seed.
OATS.
The indications point to an increase of 10
per oent. in the acreage iu oats. Every farmer
should so order his plans that he may bo ind -
pendent of the corn merchants next summer,aud
the readiest and most practical resource to that
end is found in the oat orop now to be planted.
It is not too late yet to sow fall oats, if not
already done. A few correspondents say that
some farmers hesitate to sow largely on account
of the extensive loss from winter killing the past
winter. These should bear in mind that owing
to dry weather lost September and October, they
were lato in securing stands, and Ihe freezes of
winter, whioh were very early, severe and re
peated, caught the plants in a young and grow
ing ..condition.
One correspondent in Early county incident
ally remarks that "Iho oat crop had saved them
for three years past.”
Farmers should no‘ be deterred from ‘owing
by these considerations, but on the contrary, in
consideration of tho short crop of corn now
eudy to harvest, and tho demands lor next
year's food supplies, the oat orop should ho the
speoial care of every farmer.
If tho propor seed are sown at tho right time,
aud in tho right way, tho risk of failure—involv
ing scarcely moro than loss of seod—is too small
to weigh iu the scales against the great advan
tages aud benefits of an abundant crop of oats
next Juue.
Tho present Heason is ndmirablo for sowing.
There is no reason to expeot au unusually severe
iutor. Our wants will bo urgent next season.
Then sow oats, aud bow largely and well, and
sow now.
These speoial considerations are urged, why
farmers should seed down a broad area to oats
this fall; but back of these, and independent ol
them, is the proposition that oats oouslituto a
oheaper aud bettor food than corn for work-
stock, esp oially in summer; iu a series of yours
they are more roliublo iu yield, and tho loss of a
orop from winter killing, involves less loss of
labor limn n failure of tho corn crop.
Those two crops, corn and oats,whoso seeding
mo aro about six mouths apart, may bo made to
supplement each other. If tho corn crop should
fail tho failure is apparent in August, giving am
ple time to piepare and sow au increased area iu
oats to supply tho deficiency. So, likewise, iu
the spring, a failure of the oat orop, from any
ordinary cause, will bo manifest before the sea
son for plauting corn shall havo past, and thuH
they may dove-tail into each other most harmo
niously. A superabundant crop of either or
both has not occurred in this seotion in many
years, aud would prove no drug in the market,
but a great blessing to our people.
stock—Hogs, Sheep, Cattle.
Seventy per cent, of tho correspondents report
that farmers aro improving breeds tor crossing
on the native stook ol hogs, whilst only forty
per cent, report any effort to improve tho corn-
breed of sheep by ciossiug with improved
bucks. Some say they are waiting for a dog law
Many it quirieti have been made in regard to
the resources of the State for profitable sheep
husbandry, and thousands of copies of the
"Manual of Shoep Husbandry,” published by
this department, have been distributed. Capital
from the North and Northwest is seeking invest
ment in this direction. Oar own people aro well
aware of the natural advantages afforded by our
mild climate and almost peronnial pastures and
cheap lands. But the great aud almost only
drawback, is tho waut of adequate protection to
the capital invested—protection of tho lives of
these wealth-growing animals from tho forays ot
the thousands of worthless dogs in the country
Crossing of the common sheep with tho Me
rino will about double the weight of fleece, and
add fully 10 per cent, to the market value, mak
ing it much moro saleable.
Judicious crossing on onr Georgia hogs with
improved breeds, such as Berkshire, will greatly
improve their fattening qualities, inducing more
rapid growth and earlier maturity.
Unremitting attention should be given to the
hogs intended for killing this winter. They
should now bo rapidly fattening aud the "first
good cold spell" should find them ready for tho
"hog killing.” Any stinting now is tho poorest
sort of economy.
Stock of all kinds should be in good conditioi
at the beginning of winter. It is very difficult
aud expensive to bring them into good flesh
cold weather. Let them have access to th
gleanings of the fields us promptly as possible,
In the menu time every effort should be made to
postpone the continuous daily drafts on the corn
and fodder already housed, or to be gathered, as
long ns possible. When fields cannot be | astur
ed by mules and cattle, let pea vines from the
the fields and tho luxuriant grasses that spring
and grow in waste places, &o., be cut and fed
regularly to them in their stalls aud feeding
places.
Economize now, whilst plenty is around you,
by consuming with your stock, that whioh will
otherwise soon pn to waste and decay.

SHEEP HUSH A A DRY IN OHIO.
An Ohio farmer writes: "The bulk of we
which is coming in this locality sold at 45 at
47 cents per pound. Our sheep are Cotswold
grades, with several flocks of thoroughbreds,
It is uow over forty years siuc© Mr. Townsend
introduced long-wool sheep iuto this countty,
and they have proved so successful as to nearly
or quite displace all other breeds. Mr. Joseph
Welford, of this place, sheared and sold frr m 31
sheep 281 i pounds; Mr. Abbey, Irom 100 she«p,
878 pounds; Messrs. Smith & Van Wormtr,
nearly 81 pounds per head from their flockr.
This is all clear, brook-washed wool, aud grade
Cotswold. A flock shearing under 7 pounds per
head is and should bo considered a negleoted
one, and illy bred.”
A fleece that woigliR 8 pounds and sells at 45
cents a pound, giveR the producer threo dollars
aud sixty cents for wool alone. At tho same
time the increase of the flock, the sale of lambs
and mutton, will more than cover al) expenses.
Can a farmer ask for a better business ? Why
not let fields of cotton rest for a while and pro
duce bales of wool instead of bales of cotton ?
Ii will require fewer field hands, less plows and
muloM, and bring not a small part,but tho whole
plantation into an improving, rent-paying con
dition. No man can truthfully deny that a fai-
mer may produce a pound of wool worth 45
cents cheaper than a pound of cotton worth 10
cents.

Probably no one preparation has reoeived so
much praise from its patrons, nor is so deserv
ing of commendatiou as Hull's Hair Renewer !
We but echo the voice ot tho millions who have
use 1 it when we pronounce it the best Hair
Dressing in tho world. It stands unrivalled.
Those who are affeotud with diseases of the
scalp accompanied with itching or irritation,find
relief and renewal in this invaluable remedy.
When the hair is inclined to f ill off, a moderate
use of the Renewer will strengthen the roots of
the hair and preserve it, and if it exhibits a ten
dency to turn gray, it will restore tho nalural
