if he is. he is the liveliest corpse we

The saddest are”—the following,
—when an infernal, long-eared hog,

of vegetation. Oh, these are sad
words, and as the thought of our de
parted bean patch looms up, away
down the dark vista of the ‘‘use to

THE SOUTHERN FARMER’S
MONTHLY.
This popular and prosperous jour
nal is before us, and this, the June
number, gives it a still stronger claim
to the title of the “best agricultural
and family magazine, in the South.”
In addition to its very full amount of
reading for the farm and fireside, the
current number contains an interes
ting “History of the Georgia State
Agricultural Society,” by Malcolm
Johnson,Esq., and a “Report on Fish
Culture,” by Dr. 11. 11. Cary. With
such a publication in the hands of ev
ery farmer ami planter in the South
ern States, there would be a more in
teligent cultivation of the soil and di
version of crops, and less complaint
of bad times.
The Farmer's Monthly is sent pos
tage free for one yearfor $2.00, or six
months for SI.OO. Address J. 11. Es

A DIG ENTERPRISE.
Pleasant Stroll over the Magnificent
Fruit Farm of C 01. Madison Buice.
On last Tuesday, by an invitation,
we visited, in company with Col.
Madison Buice, his beautiful fruit
farm, situated about half a mile dis
tant from the depot tn this place. It
was an enjoyable trip, and we felt
proud to sec such an enormous en
terprise in our midst. There is about
ten thousand trees and vines, within
an area of sixty acres. Col. Buice
certainly deserves credit for bis in
defatigable perseverance in this
great enterprise. To think only four
short years ago, where now. vineyard
and orchard wave in all their grand
eur; loaded with their rich, purple,
golden fruits, stood “part and par
cel of a dense howling wilderness”—
quagmires fit only for a rendezvous,
where the amphibious kingdoln Were
wont to live. Too much can not be
said for bis indomitable energy
Conceiving an idea, that North
east Georgia was the finest fruit cli
mate in the South, the Colonel em
barked in bis enterprise, and after
spending a. little fortune in arranging
and locating his farm, be has steadily,
year by year, added to its attraction
and value, until to-day, he has a
farm unsurpassed by none of the
kind in the State, and the beauty of
it all is, it is just now reaching the
zenith of its perfection.
In the course of two more years,
the Colonel will have the most valua
ble bonanza in the State. Situated
on a grand thoroughfare to New
Y'ork, and connected with every
Southern and Northern city, it opens
a field of industry that lias long been
neglected. One, in fact, the South
is so highly famed for. But this is
not all. Our reporter seen growing
some of the finest corn, cotton, clo
ver and other small grain, he ever
beheld at this season of the year, on
this farm. Our r. porter informed by
Col. Buice that l.e intended to have
on bis farm every description of fruit
that this climate would produce. It
is a grand sight now, but bat will it
be when the whole orchard has
reached its perfection. IFords are m
adequate to express its loveliness.
And right here, could we. rot prevail
upon our farmers to look more after
their fruits? No matter whether they
intend to raise it for the markets or
home consumption. It is a grand
thing to have rich, vigorous trees up
on your farms, instead of the hard,
knotty and scrubby fruit that now
monopolize the average farms of
N ortheast Georgia. This is a subject
we are deeply interested, for we
are inhabiting the “Garden spot of
the South ’ —-Northeast Georgia—and
are always glad to note its onward
march of improvement.
