Cultivate the Willow.
There are many special crops which
might be profitably grown in tnis country,
says the Philadelphia Record, and which
have been entirely neglected, or at least to
that extent which nearly amounts to neglect
For many years we have depended upon
foreign countries for our supply of basket
willow, and some idea of the extent of the
demand for this simple article or variety of
wood can be gleaned from the fact that
nearly $6,000,001 worth is annually im
ported into the United States from Great
Britain, Belgium, Holland and France.
From Holland, however, comes the largest
supply and, as a rule, the best and most
acceptable quality, the climate and the
numerous dykes, on the borders of which it
flourishes finely, being especially adapted to
its successful growth, while experience has
taught the Hollanders how to prepare it so
as to best meet the wishes of manufacturers
here.
There is no just reason why we cannot
readily produce all that can possibly be
called for in this country, and do so proflt
atdy to the grower, for that there is consid
erable profit in its growth for market is
undoubtedly true. One of the greatest
items in its favor is that it grows best on
such spots or lands as cannot profitably be
utilized for other crops on account of the
excessive and constant moisture, but
meadows and the banks of slowaud shallow
streams being best adupted for its rapid and
healthy growth. It is also in such localities
an admirable wind-break, while it serves to
be mtify or hide what would otherwise be
unsightly spots on the farm. It grows over
a wide range of latitude and temperature,
and is found in variety in nearly everv state
in our union, especially the black willow,
which is grown as an ornamental tree and
as a shelter and wind-break. This variety,
however, is not the sort used in basket mak
ing and in kindred work, the true osier
wdlow being the only kind which can thus
be used, on account of its light color, its
strength and elasticity, and its tendency to
succor, thus producing wood of the size and
form most desired. In severely cold cli
mates the growth of the black willow is
used, as before stated, as a protection to
stock trorn the bleak and outting blasts
which prevail in some localities nearly the
entire winter, its rapid and dense growth
soon affording the uecessary protection.
While all varieties of the willow delight
in a cool, moist or wet soil, and on land3
bordering on streams, it will readily root
and grow in almost any locality, even on
upland, and is not at all particular as to the
quality or richness of the soil, although
where it is planted (the osier) for profit
such localities as are best suited to its suc
cessful growth should be selected, so as to
produce a quick, strong growth and an
abundance of such shoots as fiud greatest
favor with purchasers. Aside from its
value as an ornamental tree, as a wind
break and for basket making and like uses,
its value by no means ceases there, for its
lightness, toughness and elasticity fit it for
numerous other uses, to which it would be
put more largely if the supply from domes
tic sovirces could be depended on. In mak
ing ox yokes it is especially prized, as it is
less than half the weight of the bard woods
so frequently used, and this with no decrease
of strength or durability, while it is more
extensively used by furniture manufacturers
than many persons imagine, it being a wood
-whicn will partake of a magnificent finish
on account of its closeness and evenness of
grain, and so tough as to stand rough usage
almost indefinitely. The manufacturers of
gunpowder use the charcoal in large quanti
ties made from this wood, while tanners call
for its bark for tbeir uses, the bard contain
ing large quantities of tannic acid, and the
sprouts are utilized by the basket makers;
so all is made good and profitable use of,
unless it be perhaps the leaves.
In growing the willow principally for the
basket makers’ uses it should be the object
to encourage the production of large num
bers of shoots. The willow is readily pro
pagated by cuttings, which are either set
out and then transplanted when they are
well rooted to the spot where they are in
tended to grow, or else a couple of shoots
about a foot or so in length set out right
where they are intended to remain, as the
root quickly and seldom fails to grow. If
both of the shoots grow, oua can be removed
to another place, as oue is enough to re
main. Let it grow all it will the first sea
son and in the late fall cut it back, and the
following year you will get a good growth,
w hen the cutting back can be repeated. Tne
ttnrd season you can, if the plantation has
been properly handled, harvest your first
crop, and thereafter for many years as the
willow- is long-lived aud will produce in
creasing crops every year. It will be found
to bring In a very acceptable crop of money
each year, and from land that would other
wise be worse than useless. The expense of
starting and maintaining a plantation of
nnf TVe n aSk f wiUow is trifling, and is
not at all felt It requires no cultivation
and but little to keep the trees, so-called
in proper trim, the greatest amount of time
being expended in harvesting and preparing

I shall continue from time to
time to urge . upon farmers the
cultivation of grass** in Geor
gia. We can get an abundant yield of
excellent forage and expend but littl" for
labor. Our lands, too. are quite deficient
in vegetable matter from the long continue!
clean culture in cotton. We need just such
change to recover them in nature’s way of
fertilization. This is especially true when
we are so well paid in the erops grown.
Gar doners and Fruit Growers.
Another summer is past, the crops have
mostly been gathered in, and what remain
can row be easily estimated. Last year,
says Vick's Magazine for September, was a
very unfavorable one for soil tillers, as
storms and frosts and droughts in some
sections, and drenching rams in others, and
fungui diseases aud troublesome insects
almost everywhere, made the gardeners and
farmers’ occupation a toilsome and care
weary one. Looking over the whole coun
try, the term comprised in the last six
months has not been lass prolific in similar
evils, nor have these been less disastrous
than last year, in some respects even more
so. Late spring frosts ruined the fruit
crops; excessive rains prevented planting
uutil it was too late for many kinds of vege
tables to do well. As this drought in many
regions has prevailed, and with this insects
have multiplied, and in some places fungi
have ruined the fruit that had escaped ear
lier destruction. VVe have passed through
two of the worst seasons ever known in the
annals of American horticulture. This con
dition of things entails great hardships and
sufferings to many, and some aro almost or
quite disheartened. But it will not do to
fold the hands aud sit down. Let us hope
the worst is past, and that the future may
bring to us a recompense for our toil. The
vegetable gardener must even now be mak
ing soin preparation for his spring cr >ps;
the fruit grower has work now to perform
in anticipation of the coming season. The
motto, “Instant in season and out of sea
son,” is ns appropriate to
apply to the care necessary for garden
growth as to that for soul growth. The
past is behind us, aud the misfortunes of
the two years past must De forgotten as we
remember the rewards of numberless sea
sons before.
Btrawberries.
Asa late variety the Gandy, or Gandy’s
Pride, says Vick’s Magazine for September,
boars a good repute ion. The fruit is large,
showy, aud of good quality, but the plants do
not yield heavily. The flowers are perfect.
Where there is a good paying market for a
late strawberry this variety may be worth
planting.
The Daisy is well spoken of by those who
have tried it for its large, healthy foliage,
productiveness, and its good fruit, of me
dium size. Apparently it has not yet been
widely tested.
The Cloud is a variety that has been high
ly recommended, and a great deal has been
expected from it; but it has been generally
disappointing, and after this year’s trial it
will not be retained, except in a few locali
ties where it appears to give satifaction.
Of the old varieties the Crescent will still
continue to be largely planted for an early
sort, and the Manchester fora late one, and
the old Wilson’s Albany is yet a favorite in
many localities. In some places it rusts so
badly that it has long been discarded, but it
is a wonderful variety in its adaptability to
a wide range of latitude, climate and soil.
Cumberland in some localities, on clay
soil, continues to be satisfactory.
The Sharpless will continue to hold a
prominent piacj as a productive and profit
able variety with many growers, but many
others have already discarded it.
W ithout considering the many other va
rieties which have been reported on the
present season, we think they can all be
placed on a rank inferior to those men
tioned above, and that the summary here
given fairly represents the concensus of
opinions of American strawberry growers.
Farm Notes.
Mr. A. B. Allen, in the New York Tri
bune, advises that pasture lands be divided
into small lots, instead of one large one. The
grass is eaten down cleaner, and while one
lot is pastured the others recuperate. Now-,
that iron fences are so cheap, this is a good
plan.
The New Jersey State Agricultural So
ciety two years ago, balloting for tho be.t
three grap -s for g u iral use, one of each
color, decided ill favor of the Brighten, red;
Worden, black, and Niagara, white; aud
few grape growers in that state would to
day make any alteration in the list.
There is generally found a brisk demand
for peas, beans, radishes and sweet corn in
late summer and fall. These crops when
planted in summer require richer soil than
in early spring, and it should be remem
bered, too, that seeds sown in midsummer
must be covered deeper than in spring.
What shall we say of the people who let
their boys and girls go away from home for
a button-bole bouquet, or for flowers for
any übs, during summer and autumn, when
a profusion of showy flowers might be had
right at their svui door with little effort by
simply cultivating a few'nice annuals 1
Have you yet realized .what a pleasure it
is to go into a clean, newly whitewashed
hen-house i A good time to cieau up is now,
then again later in October. '■ This will keep
things looking clean and attractive. The
outside building should be painted, the In
side whitewashed. Whitewash the inside
anyway.
Every farmer knows that bright, clean
corn fodder will be eaten up entirely by the
cows. Do not let it become black and
moldy. It may be very convenient to leave
it in the field, but before the winter is half
gone much of it will be soaked with rain,
blown over or trampled. Corn fodder is an
excellent food if in good, bright condition.
Bran is not so nutritious as shorts, but
mixed with cut hay is very much relished,
and makes good feed. Barley contains 920
parts of nutritive matter in 1,000 pounds.
It is the common food for the horse in some
parts of the continent of E irope. It is very
stimulating aud laxative. It should be
bruised and given with cut hay. Boiled
barley is a good laxative.
With a small flock of choice sheep the
farmer is not obliged to go around among
his neighbors to solicit them to buy a quar
ter of beef from him, and at a low price,
because he cannot consume it, but can
retain and use the meat of sheep instead.
Mutton is just as nutritious a3 beef, and, if
the choice mutton breeds of sheep are used,
a far better article of meat can be secured.
A writer from Union county, 111., notices
that the Bartlett pear is losing ground, and
among nurserymen's lists from first has
sunk to third or fourth place, and says:
“The Wilson strawberry has headed the list
for decades. Who plants it now I Except
ing in a few localities especially adapted to
it, we hardly find it at all. Is the Bartlett
in like manner passing into retirement ?’
Someone makes the sensible suggestion
that such horses oa the farm as are to be
worked together nearly every day during
the season should be matched in gait and
strength. These items are of much more
importance than size, color, and other
things that are often locked after instead.
If unevenly matched, give the weakest
animal the benefit of a little advantage
with the double-tree.

The following rules for keeping one’s skin
ni-e all the time are from the Ladies’ Home
Journal:
“You wan: to keep your skiu nice all the
time ! Well, then, here are some rules for
you:
“Don’t lathe in hard water; soften it
with a few drops of ammonia or a little
borax.
“Don’t bathe your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water for it.
“Don’t wash your face when you are
traveling, unless it is with a little alconol
and water or a little vaseline.
“Don’t attempt to remove dust with cold
water. Give your face a hot oath, using
plenty of soap; then give it a thor
ough rinsing with water that has had the
chill taken oft of it.
“Dout rub your face with a coarse towel;
just remember that it is not made of cast
iron, and treat it as you would the finest
porcelain—gently and delicately.
“Don’t use a sponge or lir.en rag for your
face; choose instead a flannel one.
“Don't believe you can get rid of wrinkles
by filling in the crevices with powder.
Instead give your face a Russian bath every
nighk; that is, bathe it with water ■> hot
that £ou wonder how you cm stand it, ami
then a minute after with cold watar that
will mako it glow with war .nth; dry it with
a soft towel and go to bed. and you ought
to sle“p like a baby while your skin is grow

wrinkles and you are resting.”
A FARM WORKED BY CONVICTS.
The Hard Set of Hands on Cos! emith’s
Famous Plantation.
From the Athens (Oa.) Banner,
Besides his statu convicts, C ! James M.
Smith of Oglethorpe county has the con
victs from several counties. It is an in
teresting sight to watch his stockade on Sun
day, when all the prisoners are there. They
are well fed, comfortably clad and not
overworked. There is seldom a case of
sickness in his camp, as Dr. Carter pays
them daily visits and looks carefully after
their health. A hospital for the couuty
prisoners has recently been built, be ides a
new barracks for the guard. Everything
around the camp is kept clean.
It would be difficult to collect a harder or
more brutal set of men than are found iu this
camp. Every crime in the decalogue is
represented. VVe noticed four one-legged men
in the camp, and a woman with an infan:
only six weeks old, that was bom three
weeks after the mother had been sentenced
for fif een years for killing her husband.
All the women prisoners have been convic
ted of arson or murder. Clarke county
has several representatives here, and Cos!
Smith says they are among his best hands.
VVe saw Timmons, sent up from Oc nee
for forgery. Hu ha* about a year longer to
servo, aud says he is well treated. Timmons
has made no attempt to escape, but says he
is anxious to get out and start life anew.
He sent his regards to Earl Overby.
Mr. Siiubric says there are now 300 life
term prisoners in the penitentiary, and if
the list keeps swelling, it will amount to
fearful proportions. There are over 1,700
state convicts in Georgia, besides the county
prisoners. Arrangements will soon be made
to keep the women in a separate prison,
where they will be set at work making
brooms. The lessees have all consented to
this change, and the women are also anxious
for it. .
The only w hlte woman iu the penitentiary,
a few weeks ago, suicided by jumping into
a small creek. She was a good looking
country girl about 18 years of age, con
victed of murder. She was treated kindly
and given light work to do, but her
degrading situation preyed upon her iniud,
and finally led to suicide.
MEDICAL
WhenTkeFace
Is constantly covered with eruptions, the
need of a blood-purifier is plainly indicated.
Washes and external applications are of
no avail. The poison must be thoroughly
eliminated from the system by stimulating
the action of the liver and kidneys, which
organs have become sluggish and inopera
tive, thereby throwing upon the skin the un
natural work of cleansing the system of its
impurities. What is needed is Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla—the best of blood medicines.
“My face for years was covered with pim
ples and humors, for which I could find no
remedy till I began to take Ayer’s Sarsapa
rilla. Three bottles of this medicine effected
a thorough cure. I can confidently recom
mend it to all suffering from similar troubles.”
Madison Parker, Concord, Vt.
“I had been troubled for some time with an
eruption of the skin which, till I was induced
to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, defied all efforts
to cure. After taking two bottles of this
medicine, the eruption began to disappear,
and with the third bottle it left me entirely.”
