FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
In Great Britain children of all ranks
arc raised on an oatmeal diet alone, be
cause it causes them to grow strong and
healthful, and no better food can pos
sibly lie found for them. It is also as
desirable for the student as for the
laborer, and for the delicate lady and
her hard-working sister. Indeed, all
classes would be greatly benefited by
its use, and dyspepsia, with all its
manifold annoyances, can bo kept at a
distance. Oatmeal is more substantial
food, it is said, than veal, pork or lamb,
uud quite equal to beef and mutton,
giving as much or more mental vigor,
while its great desideratum consists in
one’s not becoming weary of it, for it
is as welcome for breakfast or tea as is
wheat or Graham bread. It can be
eaten with syrup and butter, like rice.
It is especially good for young mothers,
upon whose nervous forces too great a
demand has been made, and they lose
the equilibrium of the system and be
come depressed and dispirited. Oat
meal requires to be cooked slowly, and
the water should be boiling hot when
it is stirred in.
Many years ago two of my children,
one aged three, the other one year,
had a terrible attack of ear-ache all
one day and night. I worked over the
little sufferers, doing all I could think
of, and trying remedies suggested by
our neighbors. On the second morn
ing of the attack, a lady came in an 1
asked me if I had tried burnt sugar.
I told her no, that I had not heard of
that. She told me to put some live
coals on a tiu plate, sprinkle some
brown sugar on them, set a funnel
over it, and then hold the child so
that the smoke could go into the ear.
I did so, using the same remedy for
both little ones. The result was mar
velous; the pain stopped instantly, and
soon both little sufferers were in a
sound, refreshing sleep.—Germantown
Telegraph.
The many large quantities of apples
annually imported into this State from
the Northern and Northwestern States
and sold at extravagant prices, should
be taken as a suggestion of the fact
that the increase of home orchards to
supply this demand would reward the
enterprise. Why should we continue
t.o neglect the culture of this fruit at
home and pay annual tribute to the
people of other States, who have, in
this respect, shown greater wisdom
and foresight? No one doubts the
adaptability of our soil and climate to
the growth of apples of choice descrip
tion, and the only obstacle in* 1 the way
of the needed reform is indifference
and procrastination.—Georgia Grange
The following is said to be a good
remedy for deafness: Drop three or
four drops of glycerine in the ear be
fore retiriug at night; in-the
syringe the ear with warm water, and
continue this practice faithfully for
some time. The deafness and singing
often result from a collection of wax on
the tympanum or drum of the ear, and
the glycerine has the effect to loosen
it, while the water removes it. I have
known this experiment to be success
fully tried on persons eighty years old,
when the hearing would naturally be
very imperfect.
Experiments recently made in differ
ent parts of the world, have demon
strated that concussion of the air will
drive insects from gardens, orchards
and vineyards. This theory is of Am
erican origin, and, we believe, was first
conceived by an intelligent Southern
gentleman. Firing guns near fruit
trees, about grape vines, etc., produces
the result mentioned. This is a cheap
aud convenient method of deliverance
from the innumerable insects that
make war upon the interests of the
human family.
In the summer it is a good plan to
let the fowls roost in the trees instead
of in small and badly ventilated coops.
They will be hardier and healthier for
it, and far less liable to bo infected
with lice. Chickens, especially, as soon
as left by the hen, should be encour
aged to roost in the trees. They may
be allowed to remain out until ice
begins to form in the cool weather. It
is very rare that fowls thus raised are
troubled with croup, or snuffles, or get
their comb and wattles frozen.
Gentleness and kindness in the treat
ment of milch cows is of great import
ance. If they are dealt with in this
manner, their milk will be given down
readily, aud the common annoyance of
moving about and kicking during the
milking process will be unknown.
Harmony Grange. Hall county, has
agreed to provide its needy members
with sufficient funds, at 7 per cent., to
run their farms during the year. A
noble example worthy of a noble cause.
All honor to the Brotherhood of Har
mony.—Georgia Grange.
Get the best, keep the best, and raise
the best, should be the motto of sheep
breeders. Never sell the best lambs of
the flock—keep them to reproduce their
like. It is just such lambs that you
want to raise. The same rule applies
with equal force to other farm stock.
Keep the pigs clean, give then, dry
beds, wholesome food and a plenty of
fresh air and pure water, and they will
be healthy. No hog cholera or other
loathsome disease will desolate your
pens.
Egg spoons get tarnished by the
sulphur in the egg uniting with the
silver, and may be removed by rubbing
with wet salt or ammonia.
BED TIME.
We should never go to bed with a
hope for rest, sleep and perfect repose,
until ‘all ready.’ The preliminaries for
retirement are all just as important as
are those for those days’ duties. We
must not go to bed with an overloaded
stomach, in an anxious or troubled
state of mind, with cold extremities or
without anticipating and responding
to the calls of nature in all respects.
Standing over a register, before a fire,
or in a stove-heated room, is not the
best way to get warm for a night’s
sleep. We should take such vigorous
exercise as will give circulation to the
blood, and not depend on artificial but
on natural beat. Attention to all these
things, followed by such exercises as
will bring all the feelings, emotions
and sentiments into accord with the
divine will, subduing passions, remov
ing hatred, malice, jealousy', revenge,
and opening the portals of Heaven to
all who seek rest, peace and sweet
repose. It is a happy custom with
many to close the evening’s proceed
ings by singing a sweet, quiet hymn,
‘The day is past and gone,’ etc., which
brings all present in delightful union
with each other, and with ‘Our Father
who art in Heaven.’
is useless to lament over the past.
Perhaps it was inevitable that Govern
ment founded upon false and senti
mental principles should perish. Paul
Louis Courier, with that keen penetra
tion which distinguishes the French
student of human nature, said that if
there were only three men in the
world, No. 1 would be hailed as ‘My
Lord;’No. 2 would dance attendance
upon him, and No. 1 and No. 2 would
combine together and compel No. 3 to
labor for their support. There is deep
truth in this remark—a truth which
the experience of the world has vindi
cated, which Europe has acted upon
since the destruction of the Roman
Republic, and which it is now the bit
ter fate of this nation to discover. The
fact is, the pretended ‘self-evident’ pro
position, embodied in the Constitution,
that ‘all men are created free and
equal,’ is a self-evident lie. Voltaire
was right. Mankind are divided into
anvils and hammers, some destined to
give blows, and others to receive them.
Equality, fraternity and liberty exist
only in the frenzied imagination of
dreamers and enthusiasts. The rule
of political action is the rule of force,
and that is the pass to which we have
come.—N. O. Democrat.
The South appears to have come out
better than any other section in conse
quence of the tergiversations of the
High Old Joint. The Albany Argus
twits the fellows in this wise: “In its
desperation to steal the Presidency,
the Republican party gives its sanction
to the very heresy upon which seces
sion was founded. In its frenzy it re
vives and gives irresistible potency to
•the very heresy it declared a few
months since had been stamped out
forever, under the heels of an army of
a million of men. Hayes and the tools
lie used to transgress the laws of Flor
ida and destroy the ballot-boxes of
Louisiana, have been sufficiently pow
erful to establish a ‘heresy’ which not
ail the armies of the Confederacy could
maintain! Hays will become the second
President of the Confederate States of
America, the lawless successor of Jef
ferson Davis. All hail!” Well, Jeff
Davis has not lived in vain, and the
measure meted ©ut to us we have meas
ured back again.
Mathew Henry tells a story of a
great statesman in Queen Elizabeth’s
time, who retired from public life in his
latter days and gave himself up to seri
ous thought. His former gay com
panions came to visit him, and told
him he was becoming melancholy.
“No,” he replied, “I am serious, for all
are serious round about me. God is
serious in observing us; Christ is seri
ous interceding for us; the truths of
God are serious; our spiritual enemies
are serious in their endeavors to ruin
us, and why then should not you and
Ibe serious too ?” Don’t laugh at re
ligion.
A would-be swell, wishing for an ex
cuse to speak to a beautiful woman or
the street, with whom he was unac
quainted, drew his nice white cambiic
handkerchief from his pocket as be ap
proached her, and inquired if she
hadn’t dropped it. She glanced at
the handkerchief, nodded assent, took
it, thanked him, and marched on, leav
ing the exquisite to be laughed at by
his companions.

to supply its readers—a body now not far from
a million of souls—with the most careful,

Savannah Morning News
FOR 1877.
Ou the Ist of January, 1877, the Morning
News enters upon its twenty-seventh volume,
and, it is hoped by its condnetors, upon a
prosperous year. Every returning anniversa
ry has witnessed its extending influence, and
to-day it is the text of the political faith of
thousands of readers. Its uniform consisten
cy and steadfast devotion to principle has
gained for it the confidence of the public,thus
enabling it to contribute largely to the tri
umph of the Democratic parly.
In the future, as in the past, no pains will
be spared to make the Morning New in every
lespect still more deserving of the confidence
and watronage which has been so liberally ex
tended to it bs the people of Georgia and
Florida. The ample means of the establish
ment will be devoted to the improvement of
the paper in all its departments, and to mak
ing it a comprehensive, instructive and relia
ble medium of the current news. Its staff of
special correspondents—at Washington, At
lanta, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and other
points of interest—has been reorganized with
a view of meeting every possible emergency
that may arise, and pains will be taken to
make its commercial news, foreign and do
mestic, complete and relisble.
As we are about entering upon the new year,
wo desire to call especial attention to our club
-rates of subscription.
POSTAGE FREE.
We will pay postage on all our papers going
to mail subsribers, thus making the Morning
News the cheapest newspaper of its size and
