/arm and 4?onscl)old. 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 turpentine, in which the yolk of three eggs has been thoroughly mixed. _ 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 first-class fertilizer, one bushel being equal in every respect to four bushels of cotton seed. • ■ Lemon juice, is a strengtheuer of the nervous system. Coffee which has not been roasted improves with age. Reheating coffee just before grind ing it brings out the flavor. 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.

A gentleman using his very best endeavors to escape treading on the long walking train of a lady, did not succeed, when the lady turned upon , him fiercely and gave him some of the long-after-marriage style of lan guage. Broken-hearted the bachelor responded: “Madam, I again humbly ■ beg your pardon—l thought you had passed some time ago.” This is the season of the year when the ardent college graduate applies for the editorship of the great daily, and afterward accepts the responsible situation as the driver of a street car.

ATLANTA DAILY CONSTITVTNiS, AV’E have few promises to make for the T ' Constitution for 1879.
