Hog Cholera.—ln a conversation
a few days since with Hon. John G.
McCurry, one of our model fanners,
we asked his Opinion of this disease,
which has prevailed to some extent
in our < osmtry, to whi?h he replied :
“Ever since the war in the summer
time I have been scarce of corn, and
I fed my hogs plentifully on collard
and cabbage leaves. I saw in an ag
ricultural paper years ago that col
lard leaves were a preventive of this
disease. I was glad to try the expe
riment, as I knew it would not hurt
them, and my poverty in being short
of com brought me to it. I have
never had a case of cholera among
my hogs. I certainly believe the
free use of collard leaves as feed for
hogs a preventive of this terrible dis
ease.”—Hartwell Sun.
Fertilizers —Save all the bones
for home made fertilizers. Take a
tight barrel, hox or hogshead, cover
the bottom with four or five Inches of
unleached ashes, upon this place a
layer of bones as close as they can be
packed together, covering completely
with unleached ashes; then another
layer of bones, and thus alternate
layers of akhes and bones until the
box or barrel is filled. Pour in two
pailfuls of water, or place the vessel
in the yard, where it will get sufficient
moisture from occasional showers.
In a few months it will be found that
the bones are dissolved.
One who has tried with benefit
recommends salt as a gargle for the
throat, or those inclined to a hacking
cough, or soreness of the throat or
mouth. A teaspoonful of salt is dis
solved in half a tumblerful of cold
water, and with this the throat is gar
gled just before each meal. An unu
sual freedom from coughs or sore
throat is claimed to be the result of
this simple remedy.
The practice of washing sheep be
fore shearing, says an Eastern sheep
raiser, is very disagreeable, and is un
necessary. Nothing is gained in the
price of the wool; in fact, the usual
deduction made by wool buyers for
unwashed wool leaves an advantage
with the seller. The practice is dan
gerous to the health of both men and
sheep, and may well be abolished.
To make tomato chow chow, take
six large, ripe tomatoes, one large
onion, one green pepper, one table
spoonful salt, two tablespoonfuls
brown sugar, two cups of vinegar.
Peel and cut fine the tomatoes, chop
fine the onion and pepper; add salt,
sugar and vinegar. Stew gently one
hour.
•
Pulverized alum possesses the prop
erty of purifying water. A large
spoonful stirred into a hogshead of
water will so purify it that in a few
hours the impurities will all sink to
the bottom, and the water will be
fresh and clear. Four gallons may
be purified by a teaspoonful of alum.

Opium and other powerful remedies
often fail to relieve cramp in the
stomach. Hot waler, sweetened with
brown sugar and taken freely, rarely
fails to relieve this painful trouble.
Swift remedies are always the most
desirable, as they do not disorganize
the system or cause reaction.
Feed your land before it gets poor.
Give it all the manure you can make
and haul, and it will enrich you.
Starve it by taking olf crops continu
ally and returning nothing, and it
will bankrupt you. Feed the land
liberally, and it will feed you.
Be gentle with cows. Every excite
ment that causes the blood to ilow
faster in the veins of the cow—every
infliction of pain—and every cause of
fear, fans in thijt cow the fire which
is fed with butter.
In peeling onions, put a large needle
in the mouth, half in and half out.
The needle attracts the oily juice of
the bulb, and any number may be
peeled without affecting the eyes.

The Vermont Recorder says that
the wounds of animals are quickly
cured by washing several times with

In making pumpkin pies, instead
of using all ginger for seasoning, use
two-thirds cinnamon and one-third
ginger—quite an improvement to the
taste! Try it.
China berries are claimed to be a

JUSTICE TO THE FARMER.
There are very few farmers who
will not appreciate the following tri
bute to their profession, delivered by
Judge Farrar, at the fair of Amelia
county, Virginia: “The term ‘clod
hopper’ will soon cease to be a word
lof reproach. Why should not the
fanner be the first and foremost—the ‘
peer of the highest ? His manner of
life makes him independent, tolerant
, and happy. Above the smiles and :
frowns of the fickle public, his empire
is bis home, his dominion his smiling
fields, with no inspiration for duplici
ty, no temptation for intrigue and
chicanery. Free from the bickerings
of fashionable society, none of the
jealousies of professional life molest
1 the even tenor of his way. What are
the honors of the world to him?
, When the toils of the day are over,
I he fipds his greatest pleasure in the
I sweet rest of home. Why should he
not be the truest of patriots? Will
I he not strike for the home he has
I earned by his honest toil ? The home
less, shiftless adventurer can never
i feel such a holy devotion for a couu
* try as the one who has a home to love
I and a hearthstone to defend. Magni
;fy ns you please the laws and the
I constitution, it is the strong home
I feeling that gives the potent influ
ence. The man who has a spot on
| earth, where he has planted a tree or
' bis wife has nursed a flower in the
j hour of trial, will evince a devotion
and heroism that will put to shame
the hollow pretensions of all the bla
tant' politicians and demagogues in
the land. And, above all, a farmer
should be the best or Christians. His
life is farther removed from tempta
tions and worldly influences; his mode
of life should till his mind with grand
and holy conceptions of his God, and,
his dependence on the benefactions of
a kindly Providence.”
Rest for Head aches.—Dr. Day,
in a late lecture, says:
Whatever be the plan of treatment
decided upon, rest is the first princi
ple to inculante in every severe head
ache. Rest, which the busy man and
anxious mother cannot obtain so long
as they can manage to keep about, is
oue of the first remedies for every
headache, and we should never cease
to enforce it. The brain, when ex
cited, as much needs quiet and repose
as a fractured limb or an inflamed
eye,and it is obvious (hat the chances
of shortening the seizure and arrest
ing the pain will depend on our power
tp have this carried out effectually.
It is a practical lesson to keep steadi
ly in view, in that there may lurk be
hind a simple headache some lesson
of unknown magnitude which may
remain stationary if qnietude can be
maintained. There is a point worth
attending to in the treatment of all
headaches. See that the head is ele
vated at night, and the pillow hard ;
for if it be soft the head sinks into it
and becomes hot, which with some
people is enough to provoke an attack
in the morning if sleep has been long
and heavy.
The invention of that Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine (the Fam
ily Shuttle Machine), marks one of
the most important eras in the history
of machinery, and when we consider
its great usefulness and extremely
low price (525), it is very difficult to
conceive of any invention for domes
tic use of more or even equal impor
tance to families. It has great ca
pacity for work; beautiful, smooth,
and quiet movement, rapid execution,
certainty of operation, and delightful
ease, that at once commends it above
all others. The working parts are all
steel; the bobbins hold 100 yards of
thread; the stitch is the firmest of all
the stitches made, neat and regular,
and can be, regulated in a moment to
sew stitches from an inch in length
on coarse material down to the finest ,
so infinitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernable with the naked eye, and
with a rapidity rendering it impossi
ble to count them as fast as made; it
does to perfection all kinds of heavy,
coarse, plain, fine, or fancy needle
work with ease, and far less labor
than required on other machines. It
needs .no commendation, the rapid
sales, increasing demand, and volun
tary encomiums fiwm the press, and
the thousands of families who use
them, amply testify to their undoubt
ed worth as a standard and reliable
household necessity, extending its
popularity each day. Agents wanted
by the company. Address them for

The “Most Widely. Quoted Southern
Newspaper.”
1870. the 1879.
ATLANTA DAILY CONSTITVTNiS,
AV’E have few promises to make for the
T ' Constitution for 1879. The paper
speaks for itself, and upon that ground
the managers oiler it to the public as the
best, the brightest, the newsiest and the
most complete daily journal published in
the South. This is the verdict of our read
ers, and the verdict of the most critical of
our exchanges, some of whose opinions
we take pleasure in presenting Mow.
The managers will be pardoned for
briefly alluding to some of the
wlcch have given the Constitution proiu|M
nenee among Southern papers.
I. It prints all the news, both by mwfl
ami telegraph. jai
IL Its telegraphic service is fuller tbanH
that of any other Georgia paper—its spe
c al dispatches placing it upon a footing,
so far as the news is concerned, with the
niftropolitan journals.
111. Its compilation of the news by mail
is the freshest of the best, comprising
everything of interest in 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 touches upon all current theines.
V. ‘Bill Arp,’ the most genial of humor
ists, will continue to contribute to its
columns. Old .Si’ ami ‘Uncle Remus' will
work in their special fields, and will fur
nish fun both in prose and verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family and
agricultural journal. It is edited with the
greatest care, and its columns contain
everything of interest in the domain of
politics, liter ature and science.
VII. In addition to these, full reports ot
the Supreme Comt, anti of the proceed
ings of the General Assembly, will be
published, and no pains w ill be spared to
keep the paper up to its present standard.
