SEED WHEAT.

be rich or poor, wiU the
largest crop. T* 1 ' 8 argument con
veys the idea tH a t niore space, in rea
son, produces more stooling, heavier
and better g ra »b which, to us, seems
reasonal^ e ’ an< l even if no better than
thick > ee ding, possesses at least the
jp.ei-it of saving grain already produced
vhich is no very small matter. If
one grain of wheat well spaced will
thereby stool out a dozen heads, what
is the sense of throwing away the
Other eleven grains to produce the
same result? Knowledge of the quan
tity of the land ought to enable every
farmer to determine the quantity to
be seeded, bearing in t|ie capacity of
the grain for stooling.
A New Jersey correspondent has
tried to his high satisfaction the expe
riment of propagating sweet potatoes
from the, vines saved during the win
ter. In the fall, any time before frost,
the vines may be cut in any length
and placed in layers on the surface of
the earth to the depth of twelve or
eighteen inches. Cover the vines
whilst damp with partially rotten
straw to the depth of six inches, and
cover the whole with a light soil
about four inches deep. In this way
the vines will keep during the winter,
and in the spring will put out sprouts
as the potato itself when bedded. The
draws or sprouts can be planted first,
and the vine itself can be cut up and
used as we generally plant slips
Indiana Farmer.
Apples should be gathered rather
early if they are expected to keep
well. Place them in barrels or in
heaps under the tree or in a shed,
where they should remain till cold
wvather in November or December,
when the cellar will have cooled off
ready for fruit. Attend to assorting
properly. If you have never attended
to it try this as an experiment. The
same fruit, good or poor, will bring
much more money when put up in
separate packages.
A Connecticut farmer estimates the
value of turnips, as a food for milch
cows, at twenty-five cents per bushel.
He arrived at these figures by noting
the diminished yield consequent upon
leaving off the feed of turnips; the
roots did not save hay, as quite as
much was consumed with as without
them, but the. turnips, as also sh wn
by European experiments, wer an
aid to the digestion of the hay nd
similar fodder
A British bee keeper lays it down
as a rule that if the honey makers are
seen flying in and out of the. hive on
rainy ordamp days in autumn it is a
sign that they are in a starving condi
tion,andthe proper thing to feed them
with is syrup made by boiling three
pounds of lump sugar in two pounds
of water.
To cure a bone felon, take a pint of
common soft-soap and stir in air
slacked lime till it is of the consis

leather, or take the finger of a glove,
fill it with this composition, then in
sert the finger therein, and the cure is
certain.
Simple remedies are frequently the
best for headache. A cup of sour
milk spread upon a thin cloth and ap
plied to the head will many times
give relief. Or. a mustard plaster on
the back of the neck will often ease
the pain.
Lime eradicates the linger and toe
disease in turnips, and gives greater
soundness and more nutritive quali
ties to the bulbs. Strewed over the
young plants it will drive away the
turnip fly.

The invention of Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine (the Fam

the most eras in the history
of machinery,“and when we consider
: its great usefulness and extremely
i low price ($25), it is very difficult to
I 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 wprkiljr jsarts are all
steel; the bobbins
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 iu Imiffith
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 from the press, and
the thousands of families who use
them, amply testify to their undoubt
ed worth as a standard ami reliable
household necessity, extending its
popularity each day. Agents wanted

J TL J.V7 J DA 11. F CONSTITUTION.
% E have few proiiiisi’s to make for the
▼ ▼ < 'oii>titntioii for 1879. The paper
speaks for itself, and upon that ground
the managers otter it to the public as the
bust, the brightest, the newsiest ami the
ino>t complete daily journal published in
the South. This is the verdict of cur n*ad
crs. ami the verdict of the must critical of
our exchanges, some of whose opinions
we take pleasure in presenting below.
The managers will be pardoned for
bi ietly alluding to somu of tin* features
which have given the Constitution promi
m in e among Southern papers.
1. It prints all the news, both by mail
and tidegraph.
11. Its telegraphic service is fuller than
that of any other Georgia paper—its sjh
cial dispatches placing it upon a footing,
so far as the news is concerned, with the
metropolitan journals.
111. Its compilation of the news by mail
is the freshest of Ihe best, comprising
everything of interest in tin* current
newspaper literature of the day.
IV. Its editorial department is full,
bright and vivacious, and its paragraphs
and opinion ■ are more widely quoted than
those of any Southern journal. It dis
cusses all questions of public interest,
ami tom lies upon all current themes.
V. ’Bill Arp,’ the most genial of humor
ists, will continue to c<»ntiibute to its
columns. ‘Old Si'and ‘lTicle Remus’ will
work in their special fields, mid will fur
nish fun both in prose stud verse.
VI. It is si complete new s. family and
agricultural journal. It is edited with the
greatest care, ami its columns contain
••on thing of interest in the domain of
politics, literature and se'cina 1 .
V! I. hi addition to these, full re|torts of
the Supreme <’onrt, and 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.
