/arm ani) tjonscljoli). Catching Cou>.—As a rule sneez ing is the warning which nature gives that some part of the Wxly is exposed to a cooler temperature than the other narts, and the sneezer is catching cbld. Next to tnfe warning, what is the use of the sneeze? It throws open the whole body, and induces a gentle per spiration; in a word, it throws off the cold. A child rarely sneezes more than twice; perspiration is readily in duced in youth; an old man, on the contrary, sneezes from a half dozen to a dozen times, with a “catchogue.” It is harder to set him to perspiring. When one is sitting by an qpen win dow, and finds himself sneezing, na ture tells him be is taking told. lie should get tip instantly, walk about, and take a full tumbler of water to keep up the perspiration that the sneeze set in motion. If he does this he will not be telling, an hour after, that he has a cold in the head, chest, or lungs. WiNTEB Blowing.—We head this article winter, but we should have said fall plowing is not sufficiently thought of and practiced by our farmers. If a good crop is desirable the ground should receive good ami ' thorough preparation. The climate and soil of England is no better for wheat than much of the climate and soil of our country, yet English farmers pay great attention to the preparation of their land, and consequently make nearly double to what we do' to the acre. An English farmer will give his field two pipwings, several har rowings, sometimes rolls it. while a Georgia farmer will give his field one poor plowing. Extra work in plow ing not only leaves a profit, but such f generous treatment benefits the soil. Atlanta Constitution. Ilog cholera can be prevented by proper management, and it stand's every man in hand to make an effort before'the disease, attacks his her/l. Make soft soap according to directions from concentrated lye. To each gal lon of this soap add one pound of cop peras and water to dissolve it; boil until well mixed ; put it in a trough and add milk or rich slop until it is palatable, and just as you are ready to let the hogs in, put in a pound of soda, so that it will be foaming as they come to drink. This dose is suflietent for twenty-five hogs. If the hogs are diseased, administer this two <lays in succession—then miss a day and give two more doses, when you can turn them out well and hearty. ► ♦ Every family should have a bounti ful supply of tomato catsup to eat during the winter on fresh meat, and this is the way it is made : Take ripe tomatoes J bushel; wash clean and mash up ; then put over the fire and let them come to a boil; then remove from fire, and when the hand can be borne in them, rub through a seive, and to what, goes through, add one teacupful of each salt, spice and cloves, and best vinegar one quart. Put on tire again and cook one hour, stirring with great care to avoid burn ing. Bottle and seal for use. If too thick when used, add a little vinegar. If the tomatoes are very juicy they ) should be boiled over an hour. A hot lemonade is one of the best remedies in the world for a cold. One lemon properly squeezed, cut in slices, put with sugar, and covered with half) a pint of boiling water. Drink just | before going to lied, and do not expose j yourself on the following day. This) remedy will ward off an attack of) chills and fever, if promptly used. Ilog s in puns should have plenty of charcoal ouce'a week, nnd a handful of wood ashes each in their food as) often, as a preventive for worms. ) Copperas and sulphur are also good. | Close confinement is unfavorable to ) the health of swine. Where neces sary to keep them up. grass, clover j and weeds, should be given daily. He •houses' his farm implements in the corners of the fence; his chickens roost in trees dining the winter; his manure pile leaches into a roadside ditch, and wiping his nose on his coat sleeve, Jie savs that 'farming don’t j pay.” ♦. More depends on the man than on the farm. The best farmers and the ! most profitable farms arc not on the ) most fertile land. The man makes the farm and himself rich. Now is the lime to build your cow stalls. Make them close and com fortable, and your stock will winter on one-half the food required, if they take all the weather. Sell all surplus horses, vows and hogs. Kill all useless dogs and get ready to go sately through the com-j ing winter without stinting any of your slock. Gather all the sorghum tops and < put them away to teed to the Muckens , this winter. It is as good as corn for poultry. _ ( Gather every sprig of grass abou l the farm for cows this winter. Pro vender is going to be scarce. i Don’t let vour peas waste in the , field. Gather all the peas and beans. They are good for man and beast in ' the winter. 1 - < Keep all manure and trash ofcverv < sort collected up and utilized in the compost heap. - Dig sweet potatoes hist as soon as , the first frost nips the lines. < MIXED MATTERS. Beef sells in Wilmington, N. C., for one and a half to two cents, per potmd. Fears are entertained at the West that there will be a lack of cars to move the crop. A thin man dressed in black, with ) a white high bat, looks like a lead I pencil with a rubber top. . There is a weekly newspaper in • England which has reached the enor mous circulation of GOO,OOO. Why are good ‘resolutions like a . squalling baby at church? - Because they should always be carried out. In Tennessee, South Carolina and 1 Delaware clergymen are not permit : ted to become members of the Legis ilature. The man who saw Grant’s vessel j first and was first to propose three cheers has already tiled his claim for ) a post office. At the Jackson, Tenn., fair there . is to be a foot-race run by nine widow- j j ers. It is to be a mile dash and the, prize is to be a widow. •i It is said that the entire population ) of the world could be provided for in I the United States by allowing each person one and a half acres of land. Suicides are three times more com mon among men than among women. Probably on account of whiskey-drink ing, which is so much more common among men. A lover sees his sweetheart in ' everything he looks at, just as a man bitten by a nuql dog secs dogs in his .meat, dogs in his drink, dogs all around him. A young lady recently dropped one of her false, eye-brows in a church pew, and it so badly scared the young ) man at her side, that he fainted'. He thought it was his moustache. A converted Texas editor was call ed upon to make a. prayer, and caused j all eyes to turn upon him when he j commenced, “Give us this day our ! daily pass.” A circus had just arrived j in town. The iron business has become so ) active at Pittsburg, Pa., that new puddling furnaces are being built. Large orders are refused at prices that would have been gladly accepted thirty days ago. A great many of our modern young ladies resemble the lilies of the field— they toil not, neithey do they spin! But they spend a pile of money and lay around the house and let their mothers do all the work. That’s the I kind of hollyhocks they are ! | Os the twenty States and Territories ) west of the Mississippi only two—l lowa and Arkansas—tire as small as! New England. Their average size is) one and two-thirds that of New Eng ) land. Think of it: Thirty New Eng ■ lands west of the Mississippi! ; A word to the wise is sufficient. A I minister made an interminable call I [ upon a lady of his acquaintance. Her ' little daughter, who was present, | grew weary of his conversation, and | whispered in tin audible tone. “Didn't ) he bring his amen with him, mama?” j The relationship of a man and wo- : ) man in rainy weather is easily discov i ered. If they are lovers, the woman will have all the umbrella, and the man won’t care a fig how wet he gets. ( But if they are married, it is just the ) opposite. -Marriage makes the dif ference, that’s all. Almost every town has a certain ) number of men who impress one with the idea that they would like to build a high fence around the place, leaving ) but one gate. Then they would like ), to stand at the gate with a club ami i knock down any and every stranger i who might seek admittance, especial ly it the stranger proposed to benefit : the town in any way. i Newspaper law says if a person or- . ders bis paper discontinued he must : pay all dues or the publisher may 1 continue to send it until payment is 1 made ami collect the whole amount.!' whether the paper is taken from the office or not. Also action for fraud ~ can be instituted against any person. '< whether he is responsible or not in ' financial point of view, who refuses ' to pay subscription. ' Remember, that every subs, fiber ' to The North Georgian has the whole 1 ot the money which he pays for the , paper returned to him in the best t class of reading matter. That is, the t whole avails of the subscription list I ot the paper do no more than pay for ! the making up and mailing it to sub scribers. Whatever profits are made , in the publishing of the paper comes i from its advertising. •. ABOUT EDITORS. Every editor loves to have friends. ■) and particularly his readers call on ) him. They belong to the same family as it were. But when you call on the ), editor don’t stay too long. Editors ' are generally very busy during busi ! ness hours. If you have a suggestion to make, or news to communicate, state it in the fewest words possible. I Don’t offer any excuses, or indulge in ’ any long preface to what you have to say. Blurt it right out. Tell the editor you wish him well and bid him good day. Editors dote on such men as that; they love to receive calls from them. Don’t argue with him. Don’t . try to do it. They have no time for argument while at work. When you write to an editor for . publication, make it. short.—boil it ) down. Pitch right into the middle of ■ your subject, and be sure to stop when ■ you are through. Editors always like i something fresh and original in the way of communications, and are espe cially fond of news. But the editor must always be the judge of what is ) worthy of publication. Os course j every writer thinks his own publica- I tion the best, just as every mother ) thinks her own babe the prettiest that was ever born. But the editor may be so stupid as to have quite a different opinion. If so. it. can’t be helped. Don’t try to argue him out of his notion, if he is too stupid to remedy his dullness. You may think you are a great deal smarter than the editor, and this may be true; but the | editor may be responsible and you I are not. Besides the paper is bis he pays bis rents, bis printers and his paper bills—and has :i right to print what he pleases. There are no class of people so anxious to please a ma jority of the people as editors. There is no class so covetous of the good opinion of others. It is well to re member that fact. Ct re for Sleeplessness.—Wet half a towel, apply it to the back of i the neck, pressing it upward toward the base of the brain, and fasten the j dry half of the towel over so as to j prevent the too rapid exhalation. The I effect is prompt and charniing, cool ) ing the brain ami inducing calmer, I sweeter sleep than any narcotic. Warm water may be used, though most persons will prefer it told. To those suffering from over-ejeitvment of the brain, whether the result of brainwork or pressing anxfely, this simple remedy is an especial boon. A num who had annonnceil his first attack of rheumatism, learned in our-, half hour that the following would cure it : lodide of potassium, quinine, i glaulier salts, onions, raw lemons. I ; raw silk, oil silk, gin ami tansey, ) rock candy and corn whisky; Turkish ; baths, a potato carried in bis pocket. lan eelskin around his leg, a suit of ] red flannel, chloroform liniment, hot lemonade, a trip south, a dty atmos phere, equable temperature 1 , sulphur baths, mustard ami hot water, cam phor liniimmt and electricity. j Let everybody watch for the night )of November 13th, 1879. Prof. Tice says that we are to have on that night ! the most brilliant metoric display I ever seen since 18:1.'!. when to all in-1 I tents and purposes the sky literally | rained tire. The display for this year ) will not commence until about one o'clock in the morning, but the Pro fessor says that the magnificence of I the display will more than pay for ; the inconvenience of the vigil. 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 ami extremely low price ($25), it is very difficult to conceive of any invention for domes tic use ot more or even equal impor , lance to families. It has great ca pacity for work; beautiful, smooth, ami 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, aval can be regulated in a moment to) sew stitches from an inch in length on coarse material down to the finest, i so infinitesimal as to be hardlv dis-) eernable with the naked eye, and ! with a rapidity rendering it impossi ble to count them as fast as made; it j does to perfection all kinds of heavy.) coarse, plain, tine, or fancy needle work with ease, and far kss labor than required mi other machines. It needs no commendation, the rapid salt's, increasing demand, and volun tary encomiums from 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.
