Stock Raising-
It is choice cows, sheep, horses and
mules that yield the greatest retnrns
to skillful h’nsbandmcn. The produo
I iou of scrubs or mean stock of any
kind, is rather a mean business, in
pecuniary poiut of view. Raise su
perior animals ou rich grasses, if yon
seek a good income from your far n
stock liusl andry. Such animals may
obtain a part, of theii living Irom un
improved old field?, particularly
sheep; but they want good clover and
pea-hay in winter, or hay made from
the England grasses. The mostprom-
uent- error in stock growing, is tho at
tempt to raiso the fine hogs, cattle
and sheep on scanty and defective
food. Some want n great deal of
milk or wool from little or nothing.—
They ask nature to make them rich,
while they lie in the shade in summer,
nnd sit by the fife in 'Winter, aud
leave their poor animals to nearly or
qnit6 perish from neglect.—Out Look.
Labor Saving Inventions.
The proverbially inventive and la
bor Raving yankce is completely out
done by the grooms of Paris and Vi
enna. It has lately been discovered
through the investigation of veterina
ry surgeons iu Paris and Vienna, that
the grooms of carriage horses are in
the habit of giving chloral to their
fiery chnrgers to m ke them docile
and easi y munngeble. and arsenic to
make their coats glossy without groom
ing. It is alleged this practice has
been carried on for a long time, and
to a general extent, and that it was
only discovered at the instance of a
gentleman who did not appreciate the
change in his spiritedhorsos, and pur
sued his investigation until he found
in his stables the cordial by which they
were put to sleep.
Steel Plows best.
Allen says: “I would sooner pay
doable the price for steel plows than
accept as a gift the best set of cast
iron plows to be found in the United
States. Though ever so hard ’chilled
or smothly' polished, cast-iron will
foul, more or less, ou the mold board,
in every kind of soil, from a sandy or
gravelly up to a heavy clay loam. The
dirt thus gathered on the mold-board
adds greatly to its draft, and prevents
good work. Another objection toj
cast iron is, iu order to get equal:
strength the weight must be consider-1
obly greater than steel; mid this a is j
great drag all day, and requires'' a
much stronger team. Of this any'
one may: quickly convince himself,,
without resort to dynamometers or
any other means .of testing the drafts.
--He has ouly to hitch a light team to
the steel plow, and a strouger oue to !
the cast-iron, and work them side liy
side Iu this way I have tonnd that
a pair of fourteeu-haud ponies would
do about the same work,, and with as
much ease to themselves, as a pair of
sixteen hand horses. The same ob
servations will also apply to cultiva
tors.”
j more such years’ will almost entirely
relieve onr people of debt,'.and put
them in n condition to acquire the
means of repairing their rained for
tunes.
The economy and good sense 1 with
which our farmers bas e conducted the
present year’s operations could not
fail of success; and if they will in the
future limit their work, to their avail
able means, this country cun yet re
gain what she has lost in the List five
years.
The grain crop next year will be
larger than ever before, if seasons are
fuvorabie, for ail over thecouniy large
quantities of wheat, rye and oats are
being sown, and our land-being more
thoroughly prepared • than usual. —
There is every where a disposition to
do less fertilizing and better cultiv i-
ting; and a few farmers are beginning
to pay more attention to the raising
of sheep, hogs and cattle..
Just as our farmers are prospering,
our merchants are easier, and are
meeting their obligations promptly.—
There is no town in Georgia whose
merchants have better credit than
taoso of -Perry and Eor.t Valley.
Let ns have a diversity of pursuits
in our county, stock-raising,, manufac
luring, etc., and each pursuit will aid
and build up the other, and so con
tribute to the general prosperity. -
We believe a fuir.shure of the cred
it for the present out-look is due to
Grange principles. A part, however,
is due to the press and that necessity
whose instructions cannot be gainsaid
or disobeyed.
The Bogus Bonds.
When it was ijscovered that the
proposed amendment to the Constitu
tion, declaring null and and void the
fraudulent securities issued by Bul
lock, was fatally defective, a number
of onr State exchanges at once joined
in calling upon the Governor to con
vene the Legislature in extra session
in order that the defect might be rem
edied. We have no doubt—indeed,
since the election for legislators a few
w ki!g.,it sabs >li.t‘ly c itaia these
.nu:n 1 Fairly r p sent :d public opin
ion in the matter. The movemeiitoas
opposed, however, by the Atlanta
Constitution—just-as it had opposed
the act of the previous Legislature de
claring these same bonds iDvalid—and
for some reason or other, which has
never been very .clearly understood
by the people, the Governor took ho
action in the matter, so that now the
only feasible remedy, as it seams to
us, is to call a convention of the peo
ple. We say the only feasible reme
dy, because if a convention is not
called and it is left to the newly-olect
ed General Aseembly to frame a suit"
able amendment, two or more .years
must elapse before it can., be. submit
ted to the succeeding L >gls!ature and
the people for ratification Sacn de-
jay is not to be thought of for a mo
ment. Eight millions of dollars of
the people’s money is involved, and it
must be evident that no stone will be
left unturned by the holders of the
bogus bonds to extort this money
from the State. Even in the last elec
tion for members of the General As
sembly the influence of these bond
holders was painfully apparent in the
unusual number of independent can
didates in the field, and there is no
predicting to what an extent this de
moralization will be carried two
years hence. In short, the-people of
Georgia cannot aflord - to . wait upon
the uncertain contingencies of the fu
ture. The calling of a constitutional
convention of the people, strips all
doubt from the question, and such 'a
con e .tion we must ha ve.—Sue. JVeics
a pinnacle, touching this matter of-
“inixed votes.” The Mirror’s advice
reads well, and shows that the Editor
may same day establish his claim to
the confidence of the people, as a safe
guide iu public affairs—there i’s like
wise, an apparent spirit of' indepen
dence and impartiality. worthy of a
paper; which, discarding individual
and personal claims—seeks only the
general good; does not propose to'tike
sides,—ibot opens its columns, on cer
tain terms—giving editorial support
to none. No objection thus far: b'n£
is there not a fling at a prominent
citizen, who lias been mentioned in
connection with one of the -county
offices, (in a sentence or two below)
where fine traits, which people have
wont to esteem noble and praisewor
thy. arc named as not in themselves
a perron can find any record he wants
wli’.innt trouble.
The Ordinary’s books are kept in a
neat'c tyle, and in consequence of a
vast deal-if the business.of his office
being performed bv tSe Board of
Commissioners.. and the Ordinary not
being required to make a balance sheet
and exhibibii to the jury, bnt to said
board quarterly, we cannot make a
c unplete report, bat yvill say that af
ter a very careful examination of his
books and.accounts they ’ are correctly
kept.
We find the Tax Receiver’s digest
made out in good style, bnt'find a
Very great difference in valuation of
tax payers property in the connty,
which should be corrected and taxes
thereby made more eq. 1; . ■ order to
accomplish it; we have appointed the
following committee;—G. W. Maddox
D. M. Brown and Rev. B. F.-'-Tbarpe,
as a board of Ass sors to examine the

human characteristics which the Mir-,

We also recommend tbat the Board
of County Commissioners be allowed
three dollars per day for actual ser
vices rendered.

quite sufficient to make a' .“good offi

We would respectfally recommend
onr represents: ives in the General As-
“clever fellow, old war veteran, open
handed, generous soul, a friend to the
poor.” Can any voter in the county,.
acquainted with the persons named us
candidates, (especiolly. in the vicing _.
where the article in question took
typical form,) fail to perceive that the
Mirror’s spleen is covertly vented up
on a gentleman it has aptly described;
a gentleman whose reputation for pa
triotism and political uprightness, is
proof against any suspicion of being
a compromiser of. principle—whose
qualifications fit him for any position
which he wonld ask, and who bus
been found of full weight in whatever
balance he has been tried. Ii this
construction of tue Mirror's language
and reference is unauthorized, the
amenbe. is in,—if otherwise the people
should rebuke the spirit which flows'
a personal dislike to point an article,
purporting'to have been penned in
the public interest. Public journals
in professing not to take sides in fa
vor of candidnt-es, should be careful
to avoid “taking sides” against them.

The source of loss iu the storage of
manure are two: 1st. The escape of
volatile ammonia tied other gasses;
and secondly, the loss .of valuable
salts by leaching. Tire first difficulty
may bo obviated by covering the ex
crement with eight or ten inches of
good soil or loam, which will absorb
all escaping gasses A bushel or so of
plaster may be advantageously seat-1
tered over tho heap before the soil is I
thrown on-. Tile who'e rua s should be j
perfectly covered, leaving no "cliim-j

ger of leaching may Le avoided byf
covering the heap with hay or straw j
sufficiently thick to shed most of the j
rain. If kept iu this way a sufficient j

Byron Itoms-
Not haviug troubled yon in some
time with my scribbles I have con
eluded to give you a few dots:
Well, our planting friends are clo
sing up their year’s hal’d earnings.—
Some cotton fields look a little while
yet,—bnt the most of them have
dark cast, and now aud then yon can
see the heavy ear- of corn hanging to
the mother stalk. Many are through
sowing their grains; others are not;
so our planting friends are not exact
ly uniform with each oilier, hat so
goes the world.
Our little town Byron is’ as usual,
as quiet as could be wished with one
exception, you can.scarcely speak to
a friend so as to understood for the
harsh sound of ihe saw, hammer,
ack-plane and gavil;—Byron seems to
be rising right up. Wagons- are rol
ling in the. cotton constantly with oth
er produce; so the rearing of the steed
and the roaring of the carriages help
to confuse the auditory nerves. A
planter can sell his produce as well
here os in the city of Macon, rind no
grumbling about weights, for onr Doc
tor Tom knows exactly what honesty
s, and no man says yea nor nay when
iassays a bale of cotton weighs so
ranch. "
W’oll, we have five stores and alltof
them.str rag firms, and I might have
said full-of goods, if it wasn't for the
coustahtdepletion made by the car
riages that bring iji the produce be
ing . loaded and sent to the consu-
m irs at home. The iron horse gives
us a call daily to disgorge itself of / a
portion of its burdin to be distributed
to the different stores.
The health of our commapity is ex
cellent,'so the docto" s say. The poor
fellows remind ns of- the young law
yers soon after the war closed, wish
ing for some man to kill another, so
they might get a case. Ah, gentle
men, so much the better for our-coun
try. -
We wish good, chuveh : g6ing .peo
ple, reliable families of any notions of
religion, to settle among ns, we will
prepare a'way for them if they will
come. We want a good, school teach
er for another year, onr place cannot
be excelled for health; our town is in
corporated and onr Mayor knows how
to punish offenders; so yon may ex
pect good order. Yours,
