The Cherokee Georgian. EQUINOCTIAL. The sun of life has crossed the line, The summer shine of lengthened light Faded andjailed—till, where I stand, ’Tis equal day and equal night. One after another, as dwindling hours, Youth’s glowing hopes have dropped away, And soon may barely leave a gleam That coldly scores a winter’s day. I am not young, I am not old ; The flash of morn, the sunset calm, Paling and deepening, each to each, Meet midway with a solemn charm. One side I see the summer fields Not yet disrobed of all their green ; While westerly, along the hills, Flame the first tints of frosty sheen. Ah! middle point where clouds and storm Make battle-ground of this my life ! Where, even matched, the night and day Wage round me their September strife! I bow me to the threatening gale; I know, when that is overpast, Among the peaceful harvest days An Indian summer comes at last. FARM AND GRANGE. i H On June 1,1875, there were 23,458 sub ordinate granges in the United States. The Department of Agriculture esti mates the wheat crop of 1875 at 246,000,000 bushels. A farmer in Spencer, Maryland, set out an acre of mullein by mistake, thinking it to be tobacco. Potatoes will be more plentiful and cheap in many parts of the West than they have been for a number of years. J. M. Brown of Surry county, North Carolina, planted 250 acres in tobacco this season, requiring 1,250,000 plants. This year the declared value of poultry and game imported into England increased to £131,587, against £112,575 m 1874. In less than six hours a steam thresher in Michigan threshed 390 bushels of wheat, dlftyof barley, and twenty-eight of oats. Thirty-four Leicester rams recently sold in England at a public sale for $3,080. One ram brought S6OO, and was purchased to be shipped to New Zealand. There is a scarcity of meat in England, and an association was formed in London recently to secure a supply of live cattle from the United States to meet the wants of the English market. Cotton receipts at all United States ports for the year ending August 31, amounted to 3.473.634 bales, and estimating overland and Southern consumption at 350,000 bales, the total crop of 1874-5 may be set down as 3.823.634 bales. The members of Pine Ridge grange, Ad ams county, Mississippi, are about to estab lish a cotton factory at Natchez. They propose to issue 2,400 shares ol a par value of $25 each, which will give a capital stock, when paid up, of $60,000. D. Wyatt Aiken of South Carolina Claims that Northern farmers make less money than Southern farmers. He con siders a first-class Southern farm which does not give a net income of ten per cent, a failure. Ho rents his land to negroes, and has had little difficulty. The American Agriculturist says it has been found by experiment that one inch below the surface every seed of wheat grew, where the ground was moist, while at two inches seven-eighths of the seed grew, and at three inches three quarters grew. Notwithstanding this, we would rather sow two inches deep than one inch. The Statistical bureau issues an amended report of the crop condition, which shows, as to the cotton States, an improved condi tion over hist year of 10’£ per cent. If all these States contributed in equal proportion to the crop, this would make an aggregate addition to the yield of last year, say of ftboht 400,000 bags. To have plenty of eggs in winter, the fowls must have warm roosting and nesting places; warm food, if possible, with some kind of animal food once a day, and water to drink at will. Gravel and lime must be always at. hand, and the poultry-house must be kept scrupulously clean, and the fowls out of the way of vermin, and free from lice. The Patrons at Albany, Oregon, have a warehouse that holds 120,000 bushels of wheat, and they intend to fit up another one of the same size, and a flouring-mill that will grind 200,000 bushels of wheat, so they can make their own flour. A store, is also projected, though the merchants of that vicinity have largely reduced their rates to Patrons. The consumption of linens is greater in America, in proportion to its population, than in any other country in the world. During 1873, the United States imported 3,059 tons of raw flax in addition to flax manufactures ami flax se d, making an ag gregate of $22,823,026 in gold. A large proportion of this might have been saved by the utilization of the flax straw or Stalks, wasted because of the lack of tin' Accessary machinery to get it into market able shape. In order to ascertain the gain in weight of growing cattle, nn • xperinvut v> is tried as follows; A ;’ <>it born bnll-ea’f was weighed on the 12lh of April. 1871. when he was just fourteen months old, and his weight was found to he 503 pounds. May 13th he weighed 592 pounds ; June 12, 703 pounds; July 12, SOI pounds; August 12. SBO pounds, and S ptcmlar 12.1.200 pounds —a total gain u> five months of 463 pounds or92kj pounds ja r month.

Begin econo oray in all things; a just economy is the first sentence in the new ritual—the plant ing and raising of your own subsistence. When this is successfully practiced by the farmer of the South, the thing is accom plished, and “Pay as you go” will become as well as the other the permanent word that will open the outer gate of every true grange. And, to assist in this, let the coun try merchant begin to buy for cash, sell for cash, and then he as well as the farmer can appeal directly to the banks in his commer cial transactions. So much for one of our purposes.—[Co-operative News, La. VALUE OF EVERGREENS. A well-known evergreen tree gives out continually an exuvium of warmth and moisture that reaches a distance of its area in height; and when tree planters advocate shelter belts, surrounding a tract of orchard fifty or more acies, when the influence of snch belt can only trace a distance of the height of trees on said belt, they will do that which will prove of little value. To ameliorate climate, to assist in prevention of injury against extreme climatic cold in winter and of the frosting of the germ bud of fruit in the spring, all orchards should have planted, in and among them indis criminately, evergreen trees at distance each of not more than 150 feet apart. Such a course pursued will give health to the tree, and be productive of more regular and uni form crops of fruit. At all events, it is worth the trial, ane we shall be glad if our readers can inform us of practical experi ment on the subject.—[Scientific American. PROVIDE AGAINST “HARD TIMES.” As you have suffered from ‘ hard times,” so you should seek to provide against their return. Garner and closely husband from (he rich crops of the present season all that industry and economy will permit. Allow no useless and careless waste about your farms. Let a manly and noble emulation stimulate every one, not only in who shall produce the better crop, but as to who shall save the most by a judicious management of his crop after it is made and harvested. Shining prospects of a large crop and flat tering hopes of great profits are apt to lead us into extravagant indulgences and un necessary expenditures. You should be cautious to circumscribe your wants and keep them within the limits of your in come. Through your grange you have re duced the profits upon what you consume, so you should, by co-operation, endeavor io reduce the price of commissions you pay for the handling of your products.—[W. W. Lang, Master of Texas State Grange. THE MODEL SHEEP MAN. The best sheep man we have ever heard of was a soldier of Stonewall Jackson who saw somewhere how valuable sheep are for renovating worn-out land, and after the cruel war was over he went home to his poor farm and bought thirteen ewes—all that he was able to buy. He put them in a small field of weeds and briers, which they soon destroyed. Then he fed them on bran and meal in the winter., and in the spring he had thirteen fine lambs. Saving the manure, he planted the old brier patch with corn, and narvested a fine crop. All his spare time was devoted to caring for his sheep. The next spring he bad more lambs; he was able to plant more corn; then came more lambs, when he sowed clover and grew turnips ; and now, to-day, as the result of such small beginnings, he has several hundred fine young sheep, free from disease, bringing him $2,000 a year, while his farm has become exceedingly fer tile, and he is a rich man. We know thou sands and thousands of poor young men who have a free course open to them to be come wealthy by beginning in a small way. But the trouble is, the way is too humble and slow ; they want to get along faster ; they have no patience, no faith, no pluck. Truly, it does seem small business to watch a dozen sheep, as if it were beneath the at tention of a bright American youth ; but if said youth will look the subject all over, he will sec it worthy of all his powers. A young man can well afford to sit down with a dozen sheep on the plains, live in a dug out, and feed on antelope meat, rather than undertake to become independent in a city on a clerkship of SI,OOO a year. A Few Rules for Daily Life.—Do not express your opinion too freely and de cidedly when it differs from those around you. Try so give up your will and way to oth ers in trifles as in more important matters, except where principle is involved. Do not complain of little discomforts, but bear them cheerfully. Tiy to avoid making disagreeable re marks of any description, and make no unpleasant comparisons. Do not perform disagreeable duties with a martyr like air, but always cheerfully. - - Germany has twenty one universities, i tke principal ones being Leipsic, Berlin. , and Heidelberg.

I desire to call the attention of all those who owe me anything, that lheir accounts and notes are now due, and that I am compelled to have money. We have been bless ed with bountiful crops, and all t can pay who are so disposed, as I will take corn, fodder, wheat, oats, rye, cotton, peas, potatoes, pork, and almost everything, in payment of debts due me. So 1 hope my old friends and customers will re spond liberally to this call, for by so doing they will save cost and their good name at the same time. I mean business, when I say that I am compelled to have money. All those who are indebted to the firm of McAfee & Moss must pay their accounts and notes at once. Those failing to do so, or to make satis factory arrangements, will certainly find their accounts in the hands of collecting officers. I want to purchase 10,000 bun dles of fodder and 1,000 bushels of corn, for which I will pay goods or cash to those not indebted to me. I have now got, and am receiv ing daily, one of the largest and best selected stocks of goods ever exhibited in North Georgia, which I propose to sell very cheap for cash or barter. I am determined to sell as low as the lowest, as my experience in business and facili ties for buying are not excelled by any in this country. We—l mean myself and clerks —invite all the children and ladies to call before purchasing elsewhere, as we will give all the children candy and love all the ladies. 9 J M. McAFEE.
