NOBODY H D % Hl.' SG.
I'm thinking now of nobody,
And all tout nobody'« done,
For I've » jta*#ion for nobody.
Hi a! nobody olko would own;
I l>e&r the name of somebody,
For from KNntbodjr I sprang:
But I sinu the pmiae of nobody,
And norx >dy mine baa sung.
In life's young morning Homebody
To m« was tender and dear,
And my era'Ue was rocked by somebody,
And somebody was ever near;
Now I’m petted and praised by nobody,
And nobody helps me up;
And when I’m hungry nobody
Gives me to dine or to sup.
I get my learning from nobody,
And nobody tells tne to read ;
I go in the streets with nobody,
And nobody gives me heed.
I recount my troubles to nobody,
For nobody is willing to hear;
And iny heart does cling to nobody,
And nobody sheds a tear.
And as I grow old. nobody
Gives me a helping turn ;
And by the good aid of nobody,
My firing I'm Uying to earn.
Ami hence I’ve courted nobody,
But aaiil, Homebody I’ll be ;
And asked to marry nobody.
And nobody hax married me.
Thou I trudge along with nobody,
And nobody cheers my life;
And I’ve a love for nobody,
Whieli nobody has for his wife.
Bo here's a health to nobody,
For noliody now is grown ;
For I’ve a paeadon for nobody,
That nobody else would own.

McDuffie County Ga., i
August, 1876. i
Messrs. Editors:
As “ginning” time is now approach
ing, I thought it would not lie amiss to
give your readers the benefit of an item
in my own experience, during the pres
ent year, the importance of which has
hitherto escaped my own observation. I
desire to call the attention of the farm
ing oonmnity to the value of cotton
motes as a fertilizer, and to do so, will
give tho result of an experiment of my
own.
I had always supposed motes /<> be
worthless, and, in common with t/.hers,
have always thrown them away, until
last Spring, the idea occurred to U e that
they might possibly bo utilized. Acting
upon this idea, I first prepared my >
cotton land in the usual man
ner. I then run a furrow with a scooter
plough, which I followed with a shovel,
widening and deepening the furrow. I
then hauled the motes to my field, filled
the furrows well and packed them in, at
the same time manuring alternate rows
with cotton seed, in order to give them a
fair test, side by side. In bulk, of
course, the motes; considerably exceeded
tho cotton seed, but 1 suppose the
weights were about the iaino. To my
surprise, tho cotton in the rows manured
with motes, is fully one-fourth larger,
better fril led, uml in short, thriftier iu
every respect. All who have seen it
expressed their surprise at the result, as
they, as well as tnyself, had always sup
posed them to be utterly worthless.
Deeming the fact of sufficient import
ance to be generally known, and know-
I ing your interest in agricultural matters,
i I send you this item, which, if you think
| proper, you may give to the public, as
' tho experience of a practical farmer.
J. W. Moboan.
tJPIiANII men,
i Mr. Benj. T. Iteese, of this county,
who is one of the most intelligent aigi.
successful farmers in the State, has this
year made a very important experiment
in the cultivation of rice, the result of
which he has kindly furnished us for
the benefit of tho readers of the Jutihmai..
He prepared a piece of branch bottom
j land, containing a fraction more than a
i a half acre, tho same iui for cotton, by
; running it off with a rooter, in rows
j about 2{ feet apart, and listed it in with
! the same. fie used no fort lizers. He
j planted about ii pecks of seed of the
Golden Upland Kice, obtained in South
Carolina. The planting was done about
the first of March, though Mr. Reese
thinks February a better month for tiie
planting, because the crop will then
ripen earlier.
When tho rice was about 4 or 5 inches
high, he weeded it by band aud plowed
with rooter. Several weeks afterwards
lie plowed it with a shovel ; anil this is
all the cultivation tho crop received.
Mr. Reese brought a sample of the
rioe to our office for inspection. It is
6 feet 4 inches high, and thrifty in pro
portion. Mr. Miles, who is a tenant of
Mr. Reese, and well acquainted with tho
culture and productiveness ol rice, esti
mates the yield of this small lot at not
less than 50 bushels. Mr. Reese is con
fident that, with proper fertilization and
cultivation, this yield eon be easily
doubled.
This rioe soils in the market lor from
$2.00 to $2.50 per bushel, it does not
require rich land, and needs no more
labor for its cultivation tlmn corn.
Now then, farmers—you who are mo
nomaniacs ou ootton-roiaiug, and are ex
pending twelve cents per pound for its
production, aud selling it for eight and
ten cents—don’t you think that you can
realize more from your laud by cultivat
ing rioe, which will yield from S2OO, to
S4OO per acre, thiui cotton, which brings
you in debt every year ? Does not expe
rience prove that un.y crop is more prof
itable than cotton t In fact, hadn’t you
better not cultivate your land at ail than
to lose money by raising cotton, us you
have done nearly every year since the
war? Aud, finally, how much nearer
to actual starvation will have you to be
reduced before you can realize these
stubborn facts?
To Purify a Sink..—ln hot weather
i it is almost impossible to prevci t sinks
from becoming foul, unless some cbem-
I ieal preparation is used. One pound of
copperas, dissolved in four gallons of
water, and poured into a sink three or
: four times, will entirely destroy the
1 offensive odor.
Hot Lkmosadk fob a Colo.— A hot
lemonade is i no of of tho best remedies

1 One leinou should be properly squeezed,

: ed with boiling water. Drink just before
going to to bed, and do not expose
yourself the following day. This remedy
w 11 ward off any attack of chills aud
fever, if used promptly.

TESTIMONIALS.
Atlanta, July Ist, 1874.
Dlt. BIGGERB—Dear Sir : In the use
of your Southern Remedy in my family. 1
have found it the most pleasant medicine
for children to take, and the most satisfac
tory to core I have ever met: I have used
it now for several years, and never allow
myself to be without some of it ou hand,
and its immediate use saves all trouble ami
danger, I have always felt that if you had
no other claim to the public confidence
than this specific, it alone should give it to
you, and both fame and furturie added, if
you would only sufficiently advertise it to
let the world know its healing power and
benefits. Respectfully,
O. A. LOOHKANE.

relief. My baby, 7 months old, while
teething, was expected to die for two

gers’ Southern Remedy, the relief of each
was marvelous, nnd are at present doing
well. I fried it on myaelf for the same
disease, and it proved a s iccess.
