Gapes in chickens can he cured by
covering the bottom of the coop with
quick lime. Anothe remedy: Get a
lump of tallow of the size of a ben’s
egg, melt and ntir up with a quart of
oa*m*al for feed. Another: Pluck the

and withdraw quickly; repeat a few
times with a new feather.

tnal and moral improvement can hard

KKMKMMCR.
Hear in mind, farmer,that every tree
properly planted, whether it lie for
fruit or shade; every vine whidi is
trained around the house, will add not
only to vonr comfort and refinement,
bu» to the richness and value of your
farm.
1.INK or DISTINCTION.
The arrangement of the crops on a
farm marks I Up line of distinction be
tween a go<sl am! had farmer, and of a
lariu well or ill cultivated.
lJUKRAl. TO LAND.
If the farmer is diligent, skillful and
liberal to bis land his labors w'iil he
covered with success, and the blessings
of abundance will he Ins.
(loon COW FOB SMALL FARMS.
The great object with small farmers
in having cattle is tor the milk and
butter produced. It is perhaps true
That tin Jcrre wi’l prove the rust cow
f r small farms This breed is easily
k**pt, gentle, giving rich milk, from
which good butter can be produced. It
in not more trouble or expense to k*ep
h Jetsey thnn ac mmou cow, and they
certainly w ill prove more va.uabie.
CORN.
We trust that onr farmers see and
feel the great necessity of planting and
raising ag *>*i crop of corn. One requi
site is to see that a large area ot your
f mi is planted in corn; and another
. I to if that the ground
is p ..p« rlv prepared,the reed carefully
sflcc c l, and the crop when growing
iuduioudy and prudently worked.
I here i' 1 a great deal of idle talk about
the condition of the moon upon crops,
ard tally tak about men’s -luck.” If a
farmer will prepare his ground thor
enghly, manure it jnd’.cioudy, have a
p ,,1 many rows, and long ones, of corn
a-.1 cot o:i, will w itch them and work
them well, and the mnvona are prop -
tious, the uvSbn will do her duty, and

v nr silver mine, is not in Washin^t *n
citv bui on your farm, and it is a silver
mine, so far as corn is concerned,which
must not be neglec ed. As good a plan
at any to have ItV’k am! tne moon on
husbandry, and a variety of stock on
th* hrm. and nothing will pay better
tl an sheep culture.
THE GARDEN,
The farmer, bis wife and children,
%re aa much entitled to good, fresh veg
etables, as any one else, and it is hie
fault if he doee not raise them in abun
dance. •
In the spare hall hours from the farm
it is presumed that your garden was
thoroughly plowed, or spaded, in the
fall, and that now you Lave early veg
etables peeping thr ragi the ground
Ifn *t you are to blame. Go ahead
sowing spring turnips, radish, carrot,
vega ,ab e oyster, mu-mad seed, spin-
acne, Ac. It m saffleientty late f r
beet seed, sow English peas for a sue
cession. Set out lettuce at.d cabbage
plants, and how more seed for fn*.im
planting. Perhaps the Early Y rk,
Jersev, Wsktfie'd amji B'iIh’s, F l
Hutch are &h g pd early cchfawge ar
any. Hoe ligh'y aVx>u: growing onions
and shallot*, and con’inue to set out
Trees and ahrubbery may Xh* trans
olanted and pruned. Seed cost bu‘
little and do not Jet fear of late froa
d-'teryou from planting.
Have you an asparagus bed? If go,
we presume you manured it well some
weeks ago, if you did, it is nearly tine
to fork it in. It can digest any amoun
of the Htrorg-at manure f xxi. Salt is
an excelieni article t * apply to aspara
gus beds. To produce a BTor.g, vigor
ous growth, the brine from beei or pork
barrels is excellent.
If you have no experience in garden
ing, we suggest to you to sow beet seed
in drills, letting the plan: stand six or
eight inches apart iu the drills; put the
“♦•ed iu thick and trim out and trans
plant.
You might bow cgK P-ant, or melon-
geua, in a hot bed, or in boxes. When
you transplant, let it be in well ma
nured, thoroughly worked, neb ground.
A gr.od plan is to open a deep wide
trench, filling it nearly full of manure,
restore the earth and j lant thereon,
placing the plants ab >ut three feel
apart.
There are nnmerona varieties of Eng
lish peas. All of them thrive best in
l ; ght, loamy soil. Sow in drills, s ngly
or two nearly together. When the
plants are up a few inches hoe an 1
draw earth to the stems, and when they
begin to vine, stick them with brush.
Sow at intervals from early spring and
early summer. If you have leaves or
straw convenient, mulching wiil pro
long the crop.
F »r radishes, let your land be thor
oughly manured,der ply dug,and raked
perfectly free frt-ro clods and Htones. A
good radish requires a quick, stimu
lating growth.
For a farm garden, anise, coriander,
fennel, lavender, rage, thyme and rose
mary are useful and serviceable aro
matic and sweet herbs. Hime of tho e
are perennial, and when once grown,
will answer for years. A grx d way to
preserve them—dry thoroughly, rub
the foliage almost to a powder, and pu:
in bottles and c >rk lightly. They are
useful for culinary purposes, imparting
a spicy taste and odor.
Jf you plant Irish potatoes in your
garden, make the ground r'.ch with
well rotted manure. Irish potatoes do
not succeed well in hard ground.
Early snap beans can now lie planted
in some sections. You can cover them
with straw if front should come af ei
they are up
It should have been stated that early
York cattbage is small, but perhaps the
tenderest and best.
All seed, when planted, do better by
roll ng. All email seed do best s >wn
shallow. Beans and p-aa do well deep
er, provided the ground is loo e and
porous. By planting early and la*e va
rieties of different vegetables, they can
be on the table through the spring and
mi miner. There is no secret in garden
ng, in having good vegeYftbie* and a
plenty of them -the requisites are—
break thr. soil deep, make it rich, aud
tir it often.
FLORAL ITEMS
—Primroses need a dump, cool situs
ion. Too much heat, too dry an at-
mvjspbme, or even the hot suu shining
upon them might cause the biossom
ouds to blight. They love moisture,
but do not bear much wetting of the
.eaves. The coal should be kept light
and loose, and not allowed to become
too much soak sd.
—Leave the sunny situations of your
tl »wer beds lor geraniums, heliotropes

vantage at a tim : when their buds are
beginning to swell lor a new set of

Georgia has yet to have justice done
her, and to have this justice, our j.eo
have yet their duly to perform,
and ferrile, yet her farmers, her
poets, her authors'have never done all
that is n quiai'.e of them. Our climate,
our soil, our production:*, onr water
falls, ores, our scenery, none of thete
things have received justice. The sun
sets of Italy, colored the songs of Tas
so, the vine fields of France are seen in
the pictures of La Martin ; the shrill
horn of the huntsman of the Harlz for
ests are read in the creations of Schil
ler; the beautiful streams of England,
are prettily sp >ken of in the ver.-es of
Wordsworth, and the hills of old Scot

GARDEN WORE.
If your garden had manure spread
over it early in the fall, and was rough
ly spaded or plowed in, it is all the bet
ter for it now. If this was neglected
the sooner you attend to it the better.
In fact, there are many vegetables that
shonld'ha\e been p ated ere now. Keep
garden soil well s’irred and pulverized-,
ir is nee-a^ary to insure good and ten
der vegetab.es. A loone surface is re-
quirt d for the retention of moisture,
and extra plowing ors.aadirggives that
condition Aside from this additional
breaking up of ground so pulverizes
the soil that all such operations as
cultivating, hreing or weeding, are
performed with much Ujss labor than
if only one plowing has bet.n given.
Let the vegetables which are up, re
ceive your at :emion. If not done al
ready, fork up the asparagus bed 8et
out cabbage, sow err its and parsnips.
Sow celerv in rich and moist soil. Plant
peas in succession. Sow satisfy like
parsnips. Kerjp you) spade and hoe
in motion, and. see to it that the ground
is loose and well worked.
BWKET POTATOES.
Have you prepared your ground fo.
sweet potato is? It should be thorough
ly broken a nd deep, and all the litter
upon it should be par under as deeply
as possible to rot re*dy for turning up
when the land is bedded to receive the
plants. Never burn the litter on
potato land ; turn it under. Some per
sons desire the surface of their land to
be mellow, but prefer having the sub
soil ratbeT solid, giving as a reason the
preventing the tubers from pushing too
far downward. The theory of many
potato growers is that it is^a gross
feeder, hot its roots feed only near the
surface and t hat in ordir to have large
ubers, there must be a certain resist
ance in ’he a il.
We I ke the plan of breaking the
ground pret ty thorough,and jdst before
setting oat the plants would have it
thrown up into ridges. Growers vary
in their opinions as to how far apart
'he ridges should be; some say 28
inches, on account of ease in cultiva
tion ; some say three feet. After the
plants are set out, say from 18 to 20
inches a;nrt, the chief cultivation is to
keep the ground mellow and free tram
weeds. To bed for plmts, either select
small po atoes or cut the potatoes
in hill, leaving the cut side down on
the hotbed, and cover with earth
When the sprouts are sufficiently

named Lucy Henry, afflicted for a year
with Pott's ’disease of the spine, until
within the past few years an almost
impossible thing to cure. She was sent
? o Dr. Dogas .for treatment by Dr. W.
P. Deadwyler, of E l berton, ana reached
Augusta last Tuesday afternoon. When
ahe fire f arrived, the hump on her back
was as large as a man’* fist. She has
been parti lly paralyzed in the legs,
and unable ro stand alone, since last
Chrisimas. Y^s erdav the little patien:
Wi>s put up in a plaster of Parii jacket,
at the medical ollege, before the close
of students. The result was rem *.rka
hie. When the child was let down
from the swing ia which j=he had been
suspended far the pnrp.se of straight
ening her b *ck as much as possible, in
0'd-.-r that the jacket could be put
*n in the proper mauner, it was
our.d that she could not cnly
‘.and alone, perfectly erect, but
raid walk a few pace?, neither of
w hich she could do before. Now by
simply holding the land of another
ptrrs n she can walk all around the
house, a feat which she has not accom
plished for iniu hs past. The hump on
the back is so much reduced by the
application of the jicket that it is not
perceptible when me child has on its
clothing. The patient did not cry dur
ing the operation, and is delighted with
her new corset, as she is able to raise
without aid Irani her pa let to her chair.
The doc'.or is confident tnal the case
will be complete, and that the child will
be able to do wi bout the j icket in a
year if not sooner. This is the third
ise of he kind that has been put up
l Augusta. Tue first case in Georgia,

received in thecitv news of the murder,
on Sunday, of A D. Fly, on Mr. Jacob
Thompson’s place, eight miles below
Helena, Ark. A negro,Jim Taylor, had
been arrested for stealing two baleB of
cotton. His gaards went to breakfaBt,
leaving him in Fiy’a charge. Choosing
a moment when his guard was not
watching him, the negro slipped his
hands from the ropes, seized a gun and
shot Fly through the heart. He then
escaped to a ekitf, but was afterward
captured in Helena and placed in j«il
there. Fly leaves a wife and child res
