CULTI’RE OF CABBAGE.
Since the advent of the cabbage
worm almoKt every one has been at
a loss to know what to do to raise a
few cabbages. Some have tried one
thing and some have tried another,
and mostly to no purpose. Last year
I set about three hundred and thirty
five plants, and picked off the worms
by hand as they came, for about two
weeks which took some two hours
each day. This seemed to be too
mucli work, and as I have a well of
soft water near by, I took a five-pail
kettle, set it near the well, put into it
a pint of soft soap and the same of
salt, and then filled it up with water.
I let this stand till the water was
warmed by the sun, and then, after
stirring it up well, I took my water
pot and applied it at the rate of about
a gallon to forty heads, putting it in
the center. I did this every day and
the result was I had the nicest and
hardest cabbages that were ever rais
ed. I had no trouble to get ten cents
per head although cabbage was very
cheap here. Some make a practice
of buying their plants, but I would
not give one cent per hundred unless
I knew what I was getting.—Culti

As the weather will soon be grow
ing warm and cooling beverages will
be in demand, we publish a receipt
for making a pleasant, harmless and
somewhat nutritious drink that costs
but little and is easily made. Boil a
pint of corn until it is soft without
bursting. Put it in a gallon of water
in which a pint of good molasses has
been stirred, shake well and set it
near the flic in a warm place, and in
24 hours the beer will be excellent.
It may be bottled and by adding
more water and molasses to the corn
the beer will be ready for use in 12
hours. The same corn will answer
for six months and the beer can be
kept constantly on hand. The beer
will not cost over six cents per gal
lon, and will be better and more
wholesome than cider. A little yeast
may be used to advantage in the. first
making.
A correspondent of an exchange
furuishes the following recipe for the
cure, of blind staggers in horses:
First, bleed the horse as long as he
can well stand it, and then pour one
tablcspoonful of spirits of turpentine
and the same quantity of the root of
garlic, well pounded, in each ear.—
Then stick corn cobs in each ear, ami
tie them securely, in order that the
cobs may not be shaken out; after
which smoke the nostrils of the horse
severely with tar, feathers and rags
twice a day.
Relative to changing the clothing,
it is considered hazardous to lessen
its amount after dressing in the morn
ing, unless active exercise is taken
immediately. No under garments
should be changed for lighter ones
during the day, ordinarily. The best,
safest and most convenient time for
lessening (he clothing is in the morn
ing, when we first dress for the day.
For severe burns, take unslackcd
lime and pour water on it. When
the water is drawn off clear, mix flax
seed oil with it until it becomes yel
low and thick like syrup. Apply to
burns at any stage, the earlier, how
ever, the better. We. publish this be
cause we arc confident it is the best
application in severe cases, as well
as slight burns.

Fruit spots are removed from white
and fast-colored cottons by the use of
chloride of soda. Commence by cold
soaping the article, then touch the
spot with a hair-pencil or n feather
dipped in the chloride, dipping it im

the texture of the article being in
jured.
The Parisian method of cleaning

Sambo wanted to buy some land,
but he had only half enough money.
“Well,” said the land agent, “the

A crusty bachelor, whom the rain
had kept in-doors for lo! these many
days and nights, was observed stand

uot know some spot where women
fret no more, some lone and pleasant
dell, some ‘holler’ in the ground,
where babies never yell, and cradles
are not found?” The loud winds blew

replied: “There is no such a place.”

OPINIONS OE THE CHESS.
The forthcoming volume of the G«*orgia
Gazetteer will be received with high favor
because of its intrinsic merit. It will meet
a long felt want, and at once take its posi
tion in every counting room, private and
public library in the State, as a work of
endurable value. From our knowledge of
the admirable arrangement of the work,
as far as progressed, ami the chaia< t* r of
the compiler, we heartily eomnieml the
Gazetteer to the favorable attention of all
intelligent persons within thr limits of
Georgia ami beyond.<-Atlanta Constitu
tion.
The work will be. in many important
respects, superior to anything of the kind
ever published in the South, and will be
thr largest ami most valuable statisticml
i publication ever issued from the Southern
: press. It tills our idea of an Encyclopedia
| of knowle.lge useful to all who’ have the
interests ot Georgia at heart, or feel an
hom*st pride in the evidence of Georgia’s
progress au.l welfare. Our umrchauts'will
see at a glance the unsurpassed facilities
such a w.>rk ..tiers as au advertizing me
dium. We trust this invaluable work u ill
receive the unlimited patronage it de
serves. It is au honor to Southern enter
prise. That the volume will lie a model of
typographical elegance is assured by the
tact that the Fraukling Printing House
will do the printing aud binding.—Atlanta

The work will contain a mass of most
I valuable information, and will be invalu-
I able, not only to the residents of the
; State, but to send abroad for the benefit
I of those who may desire information as to
: the business aud resources of Georgia. It
1 is an enterprise that will require immense
labor and research, and one that should
I be fostered and liberally encouraged. The

I. It prints all the news, both by mail

is th** fre*hest of the best, compritrisg
everything of interest iu the current
newspaper literature of the day.
IV. Its editorial department is full,
bright and vivacious, and its paragraphs
and opinions are more widely quoted than
those of any Southern journal. It dis
cusses all questions of public interest,
and t*»u<*hes upon nil current themes.
V. ’Bill Arp.’ the most genial of humor
ists, will continue to contribute to its
columns. and ‘Uncle Remus' will
work in thrflwp<*cial fields, and will fur
nish fan both in prose and verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family ami
agricultural journal. It is edited with the
greatest cure, ami its columns contain
everything of interest in the domain of
politics, literature and science.
VII. In addition to these, full reports oti
the Supreme Court, am! of the proceed-’
ings of the General Assembly, will be
published, and no pains will be spared to
keep the paper up to its present standard.
