which it will he seen that a suffi

within the reach of the poorest
fanner. Such methods of making
manures, coupled with the turning
under of green crops in August,
will give us all the fertilizing we
need, and if persisted in, will
make our lands as rich as we
desire.
Without a change, rum is even

With the hope that our agricul

its present languishing condition,

icy, who is not more or less em
barrassed, frequently to a serious
extent.
Farmers of Georgia! plant less
cotton ! Do not, I entreat you,
any longer pursue a suicidal pol
icy. Live at home ! Cease to make
haste to be rich. Remember that
slow and steady gains alone are
enduring. Keep out of debt. Let
every farmer and every farmer's
wife, have a horror of debt and
avoid it, as they would the touch
of a reptile. I^ct every one adopt
the system of planting a similar
area of ground, of thorough cul
ture, and high fertilization. Make
every foot of your fields rich. No
farmer can afford to cultivate poor
land.
If possible, make your manures
at home. They are the cheapest,
and generally pay best. Very
superior fertilizers can be made of
stable manure and cotton seed.

tat.Mr. R. 1*. Johnson, ofGritliu, j tnv,; " dances; <"* -<*
offered the following:
“Ucfjolycd, That the recpmuicn-
d itiuh made bv tho Cotton States
Agricultural Convention, that one-
third of the Land be planted in
corn, one-third in small grain, and
one-third in cotton, he ndopted by
this Convention ; and that a com
mittee be appointed to draft an
address appealing to all planters
to carry out this system this year.”
Gen, A. II. Colquitt offered the
following as an amendment :
“That the Commissioner of Ag
riculture be requested to issue a
circular, emlmdying the views of
tin* foregoing resolution.”
This amendment was agreed to,
and the resolution, as amended,
was adopted.
In colhplianee with this request,
I most earnestly appeal to every
tiller of the soil in Georgia, to so
far adopt the recommendation as
not to fail in any ease, to raise at
home an abundant supply of every
article fii# Consumption that can
be produced iqwm the farm.
The embarrassment and distress
among farmers which meet us
everywhere, forcibly reminds us
that the plan heretofori
by a majority of
Georgia is not
dionld lije speedily changed
We have been led astray—
away from the paths of wisdom
and safety, into those of error,
leading/,inevitably to ruin—with
the beguiling fascination of mak
ing cotton to be sold at a high
price, and thereby rapidly regain
our lnsffwctoltSi. It has proved to
be worU, 1 if possible, than a de
lusion and a snaro. It is a rock
upon which thousands of farmers
have already been shipwrecked,
and unless we desist from this,
impoverishment and liankruptcv
will lie our certain doom. Each
and every one of us must make a
full supply of provisions and for-
“;»»* at home,; and let what little
cot too wc make lie wholly a sur
plus crop!
If wc will adopt this policy, and
unflinchingly pursue it. a few
years will find us out of debt,
with a plenty of life’s necessaries
on hand, -and surplus money in
our pockets.
What tongue, or pen can fully
depict the happy condition of the
country, if the farmers were out
of debt, kid no produce to buy,
and ! '^a <d;le-lialf or even one-third
as nn.i Ji « otton as they made this
year. We can, in three years, be
in that condition, if we will adopt
the recommendation of the Con
vention, to plant not more Hum
one-third of our crops in cotton,
and steadily adhere to it.
If we will adopt and bravely carry
out tills policy, in ten or fifteen
years Georgia will be the richest
country the sun ever shined upon.
Our farmers will he our moneyed
men. They will own all the hank
stock, railroad stock, and all the
inanufacturic.s in the country; in
vade the towns and cities with
their superabundant money, and
possess much of the best real es
tate in them : and have the means
to invest in any profitable enter
prise that may offer.
We hear much complaint about
the demobilized condition of the
labor of the country, and the
Miircity dfMoney, and hard times ;
and many of us are earnestly seek
ing methods of procuring hotter
labor andjiiducing capitalists from
abroad to bring their money into
this State. It is true that onr la
bor is greatly reduced ineffective
ness and value, and that money is
scarce arid interest high; but if
our present 1 ibor, however infe
rior it may be, were rightly di
rected, the land would teem with
plenty. Money is scarce and in
terest high, because we have too
many things to purchase. We
ought not to buy a single thing
which our farms will produce.
Then we will not need so much
money. The demand would Ik*
lessened ; the supply would equal
tin* demand ; and the rate of inte
rest would be low. We would
not care whether foreign eapital
would couic among us or not; ami
if we should want other labor, we
would be able to procure it, and
mu- very ' condition would greatly
improve tho labor we have. There
is no telling the advantages and
blessings which would ensue front
adopting and firmly adhering to
the policy recommended.
Already some of its Inaiefitsarc
apparent; The recommendation
was made by similar assemblages
of Georgia fanners in 1K7J, and
was lice some extent; the
result 1 icing a perceptible increase
in our provision and forage, and a
s’ight reduction of our cotton
crop, giving hope and encourage
ment to all to do likewise.
I' is a well u.-.eurtained fact, that
for the years of 1873 and 1874 it
cost more to raise a pound of cot
ton than a pound of cotton brought
into market. It is safe to say
that for these two years seven-
tenths of the cotton which was
sold for Iv-ss than fifteen cents per
)Niun>l. cost more to make it than
it hrou^lltt.
Before the war, when our farm
ers made everything needed for
consumption which their farms
would produce, it cost front 6 to 7
cents to raise a pound of cotton

REMARKS.
Make your compost heap under
shelter, in time to stand six weeks
or loi)"cr. if possible, so that de
composition, chemical action and
minute subdivision may take place.
Put down the first layer of stable
manure, then of cotton seed, and
then the other ingredients. Ap
ply sufficient water to dampen
thoroughly, and so on, layer hv
layer, till the heap is complete ;
then cover with earth.
When it is to lie used, cut it
down vertically. Then if you
have wood ashes, leached or un-
leaehed. mix them with the com
post. It will add much to its
alue.
For coin, use from 300 to 400

full ol entertaining aud appropriate reading of eve

The Agricultural Department Is a prominent
feature In the WEEKLY’SUN, and Its articles
will always lie found fresh uud useful to the
farmer.
T. l »e number of men independent in politics is
increasiug, and the WEEKLY’ SUN is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and for the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knave>, and seeks no favor* from their sup
porters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions are
regularly reported in its columns.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight jrages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this larely pays the expenses of paper

Extraordinary Sagacity in*a
Colt.—A gentleman living in tho
suburbs of Newburgh, N. Y„ has
a young colt which he values
highly, not only 011 account of his
possessing pure* blood and a great
degree of speed, hut tor his intel
ligence. In common with the
other stock in the stable, he is
fed his hay from a crib on the side
of the building. It has ltecn no
ticed that, while all the other an- Pr
imal.s left a small quantity of fine
liny and hay seed in the further
end of the crib, which could not
be reached,“the liars only permit
ting them to get tiicir noses in a
short distance, this horse always
had his eaten clean. O11 being
watched, it was discovered that
the colt would catch up the slack
of his rope halter his iu teeth, so
that it formed a loop, anti, thrust
ing it between the bars, he was a-
lilc to push it to the back part of the
crib, and, by drawing it out again,
to drag with it, where ho could
reach it, the part of the feed re
ferred to. Thus it was the crib
was always clean. Thfi way he
handies the rope is said to be skill
ful and sagacious in the extreme.

•table preparattoD^ftaldfrcbifrfly front
the native herbs found on the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada moan-
tains of California, the medicinal
properties of which are extracted
therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked,
“ What is tho catlso of the unpar
alleled success of Vikkga* Bit*
ters V’ Our answer is, that they
remove tho causo of disease, and
the patient recovors his health. They
are tho great blood purifier and a
life-giving principle, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before ia the history of the world
has a medicine been compounded pos
sessing the remarkable qualities of Vur-
boar Bitters in healiug tho sick of
every diseaso man is heir to. They aro
a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organ.*, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walk-
er’a Vineoau Bittkrs aro Apcriont.Dia-
phaoatic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxa
tive, Diuretic. Sedative, CouDter-Irritant,
Sudorific, Atoe*-'* ; ve. and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim
Vixegar Bitters the most wonder
ful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
No Person can take these Bit
ters according to directions, and re
main long unwell, provided their
bones arc not destroyed by mineral
poison or other means, and vital or
gans wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and In
termittent Fevers, which arc so
prevalent in the valleys of onr great
rivers throughout the United Slates,
especially those of tho Mississippi,
Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tcnnes-w*e,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo
rado, Brazos, llio Grande. Pearl,
Alabama, Slobilc, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others,
with their vast tributaries, through
out our entire country during tho
Summer nnd Autumn, and remarka
bly so during seasons of unusual
heat and dryness, aro invariably ac
companied by extensive derange
ments of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a
powerful influence upon these vari
ous organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purp ,e
equal to Du. J. Walker’s Vinegar
Eittkes, «u they will speedily remove
the dark-colored viscid tnaller with which
tho bowels aro loaded, at the Kamo timo
stimulating the secretions of tha liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy func
tions <>f tho digestive organs.
Fortify the body against dis
ease by purifying all its fluids with
Vinkgah Ritters. No epidemic cau
take hold of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Pain in the Shoulders. Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
in tho Month, Bilious Attacks. Palpita
tion of tho Heart, Inflammation of tho
Lungs, Pain in tho region of the Kidneys,
and a hundred other painful symptoms,
aro tho offsprings of Dyspepsia. One Imt-
tlo will provo a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Ery.-inela*. Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affec
tions. Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
ijoro Eyes, ete. In these, as ;tt all other
constitutional Diseases, Walker's Vis-
KOAR Bittern have shown their great cur-
ntivo {towers in the most obstiuutc aud
in; l iable eases.
For Infianimatory and Chronic
lthenmatism,Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers. Diseases
of tho Blood, Liver, Kidneys ami Bladder,
theso Bitters have no equal. Such Dis
eases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons
engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and
Miners, os they odvanco in life, nrc sub
jeet to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, tako a doso of Walkkk's
V i’skoar Bitters occasionally.
For .Skin Diseases, Eruptions,
Tetter, Salt-Ithoum, Blotches. Spots. Pim
ples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, ltiug-
wonns. Scald-head. Sore Eyes. Erysipe
las, Itch, Scurfs, Discoloration* of the
Skin. Humors and Diseases of the Skin of
whatever name or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system iu a
short time by tho use of these hitters.
Pin, Tapp, and other Worms,
lurking in the system of so many thou
sands, are effectually destroyed and re
moved. No system of medicine, no ver
mifuges, no uulhclminitics. will free tiro
system from worms like these Bitters.
ForFenialeCoinplaints, in young
or old, married or single, nt the dawn of
womanhood, orthe turn oflile, these Ton
ic Bitters-display so decided av. influence
that improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood
whenever you find its impurities bursting
through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions,
or Sores; cleau.se it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse
it when it is foul; your feiding- wiil tc -
vou when. Keep the blood pure, a. ;
