Cotton Seed.
#„(potton seed, which the planters are sepd
thg in such io market, contain
tfee life of the'soil ; the lint abstracts but lit
tte nutriment frpiq the land, in comparison
While seed.'
tYlow planters reflect that they are
robing tiiemselv’cs and their heirs and as
signs by sending their cotton seed to mar
fet, instead bAeturning them to the soil as
®pnure.
*VVe are literally selling the fat of the
land, in parting with the cotton seed as we
do.
The oil, when expressed, goes to the soap
maker and into a hundred other uses; the
oil ®a|e chiefly to England
and’ BCoflanA, to fatten British cattle- and
make richer the well tilled British soil;
while the best parfof the seed is totally
lost for any farm use ; this the hull, so very
rich in phosphates. The hulls of cotton
seed, which are tapped # in the south, as
most of them arc, are led to milch cows in
cities or arc used as fuel.
We trust the day will soon come when,
if cotton seed must be used for oil making,
that they will be worked up near the cot
tpn ■fifclds/spAha.t the punier will receive
back tne oifcAKe and tile Iftilfa, to be fed to
his own beeves, cows and work stock, and
returned as manure to his soil.
The granges should take up the subject
and se« Itosrt’dicirccAUon lands are not rob
bed as they now are.
A cotton seed oil manufactory is not a
very costly establishment, and every neigh
borhood should haye one. To all appear
awjejfathqy are as profitable as tanyards,
whisky mills, or state offices.
One of the chief duties of the grange is
not only to promote the cultivation of the
soil, but to stimulate and educate the culti
vators. '
Improvement of farm and farmers is the
motto.
We can no longer calculate on wearing
out lands and the moving west. The west
has disappeared in the land of grasshoppers
and mountain deserts.
No farmers of the vyorld have such mate
rials to make ample manure of the richest
quality as have the cotton planters. They
can, if they will, build oil establishment in
thtu’ neighborhoods, and get back the
oil cake find hulls';' not only have less corn
lo raise, but they will have manure heaps
that .will surpass any of the commercial fer
tilizers and their lands may be made more
fertile each year.—[Co-operative News.
How to Make Rag Carpets.
♦ffyftu WanUsamething for your kitchen
floor, warm and durable, from spots which
can be easily removed, which can be shaken
turned, and be as good as new again for
several years, use rag carpets. They can be
obtained of carpet dealers at from sixty
cents to one dollar a yard; but often
n smoother and handsomer article can be
made‘at home, at least ready for the loom.
For this purpose save the old clothes —old
flannel, sheets, and under garments, old
dresses—in fact, everything which will
make long strips. Old clothes of good col
ors are doubly vainable. Calicos not too
much worn arc excellent material. Cut
into strip ; aboutjui .incjli wide, sew end to
end and wind smoothly into balls of about
one pound weight. Allow from one and
one-fourth to one and one-half pounds of
rags to a square yard of carpeting. Collect
all odd pieces of any color for the mosaic
or hit-and-miss stripes. Cut and mix these
thoroughly before sewing, so as to make
this stripe as uniform aS possible. A few
pound.s otremnnnis Jrom a woolen factory,
or sifft fislihgX of any needed color, make
a fine stripe*, and require little sewing. Do
not put too much black into a kitchen car
pet, as it is not a strong color and shows the
dust more than other colors. A stripe ot
several shades of nd brightens up a carpet
wonderfully—and who objects to a little
brigtness in Mcih White woolen
rags take a nice cochineal red, white cotton
a durable green from fustic and logwood
set with blue vitriol. A cinnamon color
may be dyed with copperas. Select a
coarse strong warp of some dark color—
brown and slate colors arc good—a’lowing
ons
flrarins4i:d»'of ettr|frtihg. Keep the exact
wet ht of rags and warp to compare with
weight of carpet when returned, and em
ploy a good weaver. Many prefer a kiteh
en carpet put down with rings, as it can
thus be easily taken up and shaken.

Httla, u. ’*■ ‘h w-t'' that which 1
is shown by the young man who inflexibly
refuses to drinks whisky, or to squander
his time in senseless and costly laziness, or
fall into any of the pleasant little vices that
lie like traps along our road, and which re
quire a great deal of courage to escape, is
very much braver than a prize fighter who
submits to get beaten into a bloody and I
disfigured mass, or any professed votary of
the code of honor, who goes out to be shot ’
at by a bully. The world should encourage ,
true courage, and give it the place it de- 1
serves. Until it does so, we may not be
surprised if mountebanks usurp many po
sitions, and need not complain because of
the recklessness of coarse and brutal men,
and the insecurity of life, or that thieves,
liars and murderers greatly abound.
Too True.
An exchange says we are fast becoming
a nation of schemers to live without work.
Our boys are not learning trades, our
farmers’ sons arc crowding into the cities,
looking for clerkships and places in post
offices; hardly one American girl in a
thousand will do housework for wages,
however urgent the need. So we are send
ing to Europe for workmen and buying
of her artisans millions of dollars worth
that we ought to make ourselves.
Though our crop of rascals is heavy, we
do not grow 7 our own hemp; though we
are overrun with lads that need flagella
tion, we import our willows.
Our women (unless deceived) wear Euro
pean fabrics; our men dress in foreign
clothes; the toys that amuse our young
children have reached us from over the
sea.
Hence it is that we plunge ourselves
deeper and deeper into debt to the old
world.
We arc like the farmer -who hire? his
neighbor’s sons to cut his wood, feed bis
stock, and run his errands, while his sons
lounge’at the grog shops and play billiards,
and then wonders why, in spite of his ef
forts, he sinks into debt, till the sheriff
cleans him out, and he starts west to begin
again.
We must turn over a new leaf.
Our boysand girls must be taught to la
bor by learning to do it efficiently. We
must turn out fewer professional and more
artisans as well as food growers.
We must grow and fabricate two mill
ions per annum that w'e import, and reduce
the foreign debt that we have successfully
augmented, year by year.
We must qualify our b >ys to erect and
run factories, rolling mills, tanneries, ma
chine shops, etc.; to open and work mines,
fashion and improve implements, and
double the present produce of their father’
farms.
So shall wc stem the tide of debt that
sets steadily against our shores and cease to
’ be visited and annoyed by hard tiims.
A private gentleman of France, Mon
sicui de la Bastie, has invented a process for
toughening gliss, which, instead ofinjuring
its qualities in any respect, ren lers it al
most as tough and clastic as steel. Pieces
ofglass thus toughened have been subject
to tests that are really astonishing. For
instance, a piece of glass five inches wide
and six inches long was placed between
two beams and a stirrup suspended from
the center, and weights were gradually
hung on this stirrup, until 1,376 pounds
were suspended before the glass broke; and.
what is more remarkable, the glass deflected
from a horizontal v< ry considerably, before
giving away. Another test was made by
placing a piece in a sash ami dropping
weights of three pounds on it, at a distance
of four feet, without in iking any impression.
The process consists of subjecting the glass,
when under great heat, to a bath of oil,
wax and resinous matters. The invention
has been sufficiently tested to prove it an
entire success, and we may look to see a
great revolution in the u-e of glass.
The Famil y Day. —“ Talk of‘family ties’
and ‘family love,’ and ‘family gathering.’
where would they be if it were not for a
‘family day ?' ” said a working man.
“What do you mean ?” I asked.
“I mean,” he replied "that the Lord’s day
is the ‘family day.’ Why, I and thousands
of working men would hardly know our
own children, if it were not for that blessed
.day which blings us all together. Wc arc
' off in the morning before the little ones are
up, and when we get home at night they
are mostly gone to bed, or they are tired,
and so are we, and it’s not very much we
ran see of each other at the fag end of the
week ; but when that best day comes, that’s
nil our own. Then we can gather round
the table or fireside apd talk to one another
! and thank Him that He has given nsone
day in seven as a holy, blessed 'family
day—[Evangelist.
Onck upon a time s inn-body wondered
' at what he called the “ tendency of great
liirn to die without leaving heirs ot th< ir
I iuou to succeed them.” Shakipeaie, Mil
ton, Spcnctr, Pope, .lobu-on, Addison,
Cowper, Byron, and a great many other
, illustrious and distinguished men illustrate
I this point. The oil tr day the last of the
i favours shared the common doom. Ur
was the Marq tis Aimar I of Cavour, nephew
of the great Italian patriot, an I the last di
rect male member of the family. The
heritage ol Count de C tvour, the uncle,
i joined to that of his brother, the Marquis,
did not exceed $1,200,(MM) in capital mine,
and five sixth of it has bevn faqucatheil to
:he Hospital of Charity at Turin. A few
, legacies go to the testator's sister and her
two daitgit.ers. No male Cavour rem&ms.

MONEY MADE.
I desire to call the attention of all
those who owe me anything, that
iheir accounts and notes are now
due, and that I am compelled to
have money. We have been bless
ed with bountiful crops, and all
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 ih«ir
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 er
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 arc 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 wc will
give all the children candy and
love all the ladies.
