•i TA T E A a EICOLTI'BAI. SOCIETY.
This body met in Milledgeville Tu*-
Uy last, the fltli instant, anil waa called
to order at 10 o'clock, in Iteprescnta
tivea Hall in the old Capitol by Gover
nor Colquitt. A majority of the Conn
ie* in the State had representatives,
imoug them Col. M. 0. Fulton and
Onpt T. A. Hamilton, of McDuffie. The
citizen* of Milledgeville and ilalduin
county gave the Convention a hearty
welcome, The Union St Jleeorder nay*:
Amiil the advance* in the arts and sci
ence* and the various branches of hu
man industry, so cluiraeleristic of the
age, not the least important are those
pertaining to agriculture ; the nabstnii
linl basis of all the rest and of human
existence itself. It is therefore witli pc
oulisr interest that our people look to the
periodica! assemblages of our State Ag
ri ulturul Convention, which convenes in
this city to-day. Composed as it in, in
the main, of the moat skillful and suc
cessful of the planters and fanners of
Georgia, the moral worth which charac
terize* it* membership in general adds
greatly to the confluence and esteem m
wh ch it is held liy the people at large.
Altogether, its ■weight and influence are
J unoqnnled by those of any other repre
| sentntive body known to our people. Its
! memliers have no axes to grind—no mile
age or per diem—to stimulate their pa
triotism to aerve the State. Coming to
gather from the various suction* cf our
large territory, from the mountains to
the aoabvard, they bring together their
various alon e of experience and obser
vation, and confer together on the great
interest* of their calling, for their own
and the public good, and that without
fee or reward.
It is therefore with unfeigned pleasure
that our community extend a hearty wel
come to the Convention to the old Capi
tal of Georgia, and it will doubtless not
lie withrut a pleasing, though melan
choly interest, that its members ibid
themselns within the walls of the old
Htate House, hallowed by so many asso
ciations with the great men and the great
events eonneeted with our past history.
To the more aged members of the Con
vention there will doubtless come vivid
memories of the fierce conflict* that at
tended the memorable contest of the
Troup ami Chirk parties, and the later
forensic encounters in w hich were en
gaged sucli men as Forsyth, Berrien,
Jenkins, Miller, Toombs, Htephens, and
many others whose names we have not
space to mention. Truly “there were
giants in thorn days" and those "guiiits’'
did not disdain to serve their Slate iu it*
Legislature, where they were oouaoiou*
Hist they would And “foeuieu worthy ol
their steel.”
From the Atlanta Constitution we clip
the following condensed statement of
proceedings:
Governor Colquitt willed the society
to order, and Col. Wm. MoKiuly on the
part of the city of Milledgevillo and
Baldwin county, delivered an address
welcoming the society to the hall built
by their fathom, and to tho hearts of this
people. lio deplored the desolation
caused by the late war, the lieu laws and
the Constitution of 18(18, but evidence of
reviving prosperity were visible, the peo
ple had enough to cat, and anew Con
stitution would eoou be made.
IT WAg IN THE OTHER TOWN.
To his kindly welcome Colonel J. T.
Hunt, of Oglethorpe, rospouded in be
half of the Convention, remarking en
passant that tho presence of traitors hurl
never detiled this hall, and that it was in
another building not built by our fathers,
and in another town that those laws were
enacted that hud blighted this land.
oovKßNon oonqriTr’s vaobmctory.
Governor Colquitt then delivered his
farewell address in which he urged the
I member* never to allow their interest in
i this society to glow lens, ami always to
I attend, as numerously as possible it*
semi-annual sessions. He deplored the
loss to the Htate of Professor Leßoy
| Broun, and paid a tilting tribute to the
: memory of Charles Wallace Howard.

Prof. Pendleton read his fourth and
last report of the experimental farm,
I demonstrating that manure in drills is
I much more efficient than when broad
cast ; also, that ammoniated superphos-
I | hate ia the most profitable fertilizer,
and that two hundred pounds p- r acio of
a good fertilizer is the proper amount to
roturu the best profit, and in the latitude
of up|H-r Ueorgtx the lust ot July is the

The Gabiien.
This month (March) ia the basis of
our crops, for the production of what we
will call vegetable fruits. In all warm
light soils, such productions succeed ad
mirably, and there is no country where
tlie melon, in all its varieties, is grown
in such beauty and perfection as in the
Southern States.
Bkanh.—The Lima and the Bowes, es
pecially the former, is the cream of all
the shelled liean family ; they require
good soil, and planted in hills ; first put
in str-.ug poles four feet each wav, place
a lmndfull of rich compost at its base,
and with the hoe or plow draw or furrow
some soil over it, plant five good sound
beans eye downwards around the | lie,
and cover with an inch of earth. When
they have grown about a foot, tie the
vines to the poles, and they will then
provide for themselves and produce beau
tiful crops from June till November ; an
other plant!' g can be made in May.
Wax Pope and Dwai.e Beans plant
by all means ; they are luscious varieties
but are used ns a snap and not ns a shell
ed bean like the Lima.
Beets.—Make another sowing of oi
the Bed Turnip, o) Blood Turnip Beet.
Corn.—Plant a little every two or
three weeks from now until July, there
by securing one of i.ur finest table vege
tables for five mouths in the year.
Ccocmhers.— Sow in hills the White
Spine uud Long Green. If you wish
only one sort select tho former, and
make a small planting every month ti' l
July.
Creeb and Mustard.—A snail sowing
for Salads along wilh curled Lettuce.
Nasturtium. —Where desired for pick
les, should he sown ; they fruit best
when tied to Irclise* or poles.
Okra, or Gombo.—Bow in rows three
feul apart, and six inches from plant to
plant. Prnwf Okra is the best sort.
Pi Mt'Kis.N* of every desired variety
should be planted in hills like corn. The
many new and wonderful sorts, with tin
most extravagant descriptions, are all
excelled by the old Coahaw,
Pepper.—Every variety does well, but
the large Bull No-e and Long Cayenne
are generally used ; sow u few rows in a
hotbed, uud when aix inches high plant
out in rows two feet apart, one foot from
plant to plant, amt water well for a few
days.
Kaddikh.—A very few White or Yel
low ; they will come off ia i.ix weeks ;
thin this crop whoa up t > two inches
apart. Banishes should, however, al
ways be sown between other crop*, as
they soon enrne off ti.e ground.
SquAHit. -There are four kind- iu use.
*ll of which huvi tli. ir peculiar quali
ities. Biikli Squash doe* not run, comes
soon to maturity, dud to have fresh must
bo frequently sown. Summer Green
aiul Yellow continues to run and grow,
producing throughout the season The
Loudon Marrow While Squash Inis also
the quality of growing and producing
for months.
Tomatoes.—Many, very many names,
all placed against four or five varieties of
this justly oelebrated vegetable, which,
to have early, should be sown in a warm
bed or corner, covered afnight or from
cold winds until tho season is favorable ;
as soon as they are four inches high
plant out into hills three feet apart, and
two plant* on a hill ; ns they grow tie n
few to stake*, and a* soon ns three feet
high pinch off the points of the vines,
which causes them to mature their fruit
earlier. Every sect .on of country has its
preferred names. We place the follow
ing sort* a* most desirable ; Trophy,
Tilden, Baird, and Fejee Island.
Herbs.—Now is the time for sowing a
full assortment of these.
Coutinne planting Peas. Transplant
Cabbage and Lettuoe from your winter
beds if not already done, sow more simp
short Beans, Onions, Leek, Radish, aud,
iu fact, any other vegetable that you re
quire, as the season is sufficiently ad
vanced for any variety to do well. Give
all the growing crops your attention.
Just remember Unit good cultivation is
almost as powerful a stimulant to the
growth of plsnts as manure. Look out
for woods ; they are enemies in your
camp, and will rob your ground of a
pood porti u of the nourishment that i
intended for your crops.
0 rack nl) Hands Ct; it u r>.
None hut the laboring man, who lias
suffered misery while using an nx or
pounding with other tools, can rightly
appreciate this article. For years, when
young, 1 suffered at some seasons untold
bitterness, caused bvdry cracks on hands
and fingers. I tried every so-called rem
edy l could hear of, but iu vain ; and be
ing obliged then to labor each successive
day for an honest livelihood, I was
bound, as with au iron chain, to such
sufferings as almost made life a burden.
At last a friend told me to put common ;
oopal varnish into the cracks and it !
would cure them ; although uiy faith j
was very weak I tried t o prescription, j
and to toy great joy, sure enough, In !
forty-eight hours my hands were as well !
as ever. It does not save from fresh i
cracks, but it never fails to eutirely cure j
the old ones within two days. I keep a
small bottle of tiie var isii with a sliver
standing iu it—cost Id cents—always i
handy, and with ils help my hands are
nearly always well. For knowledge of j
this simple remedy I would not part for j
many dollars. I have given it to matiy
others for many years, and have never
known its taiiure to eiiVcluivlly cure in
ali such cases. 1 don’t know that the
subject can l>e considered agricultural,
(perhaps it is only cationite ml), but
there are probably f-n:. readers of the
pniier who will be glad to get the infor
mation.
Sick Hkadachk.—There is hardly
a disease to which hnioauity is heir,
which causes more suffering aud annoy
ance than sick headache. But here is a
simple and effectual remedy : Take a
large size Vermont collnrd leaf, sleep it
in hot water aud bind to the back ol the
left hand. It tins cures you please let
na know where you got the oollard leaf.

I PATENT I
1 MaleaWe Iron Oiler. 1
WITH PATENT STEEL SPRING. ML
auction nbowing thcPatSbt
Elliptic gprtug
lhe distinctive and attractive features of tid Oder may bo brlefilv summed up as
follows :
first. ~ he material used for all its parts, excepting the bottom, is Malleable Iron.
Hence for durability and strength, it is unsurpassable.
Second. Ihe tube being made entirely of Mallaeable Iron cannot be bruised or
injured by dropping it on the floor, or by any ordinary usage be destroyed, as it the case
with all other Oilers, with tubes made of tin or brass. Neither can the small hole in
the end of the tube through which the oil is ejected, be abused or made larger by intro
ducing into it any sharp pointod tool to clear it. which is sure destruction to tubes made
in form of a coue, and of softer and thinner material.
Third. Hi all other Oilers, the nut through which the Oiler is filled, and into which
the tube is screwed, is soldered on to the cup, and therefore liable to become loose, and
consequently leaky. In the Patent Malleable Iron Oiler this fault is entiiely removed
by the nut being a solid part of the cup.
f ourth It has a Patent Elliptic Steel Spring, which prevents the bottom from
• setting," and always keep* its ejecting force perfect.
f iftti. the bottom, which is of hr.;**, is protected from wear by a stout rim while
u most other Oilers the bottom i* w! on the snrfacG, and soon becomes worn and lanky.
Ihe combination of these qualities make the Patent Malleable Iron Oiler nearly in
destructible. and insures a saving in Oil, which in a very short time will cover its cost.
Proprietors of Saw and Grist Mills, Cotton Gins and Machinery of all kinds will
find this the most Economical Oiler to use. Price only 60 cents.
Orders respectfully solicited by the undersigned, who keeps them in stock.
