between Turkey and
longer a war of woids
but a war of real fighting and blood
shed. The bad effects of this war
will be felt all over the civilized world
The price of some things will go so
high that those who have them to buy
will be injured, while the price ot
other things will fall so low that it
will ruin those w’ho sell.
Very few have wheat to sell, but
but almost every body lias to buy
flour. The price of wheat has ad
vanced. Every farmer in the south
has cotton to sell, and cotton has gone
down; and if the war continues we
fear it will be used as v an excuse this
fall to buy the cotton cheaper tliaiii
has ever been known.

Krhc Institutes for this Year.
B“The countv school commissioners
Kave already begun arrangements \ar
rtheir institute work during tneoontm;
summer. A number of counties ha\
already arranged to combine at some
central point, in order to have present
a laroe number of teachers. Ibe com
missioners satisfied themselves iron
their last year’s experience, that
wherever it is possiole to combine the
wherever it
counties, it is infinitely better to clo s .
There will be therefore, a much 1-u j
number of combined institutes tin..,
year than ever b afore.
The above taken from The South
ern Educational Journal, shows that
there is a tendency among some of
the county commissioners and boards
of education to combine the counties
for holding the teachers’ institutes. |
There may be some argument in
favor of such an arrangements as tins,
but there is a great deal more against
it So much, in fact, that we cannot
see how any teacher can submit to
being forced out oi his own county to
attend an institute, without raising
complaint. So far as this comity is
concerned, the teacners need have no
fears for the board decided a year ago
that at Homer was the proper p !U L ‘

and if peo|
BSfe&IJvWL'' 1 thi
■ am
fa-ially if the service night
q wonder why vt is that some folks
can behave so saint like in day time
and so much like demons at mgkt
Why behave reasonably well at
preaching and act so much like wild
geese at prayer meeting? Does not
our Savior fully answer this question
whe lie declares that men choose dark
ness rather than light because their
deeds are evil ?
No one is obliged to go to chuich
and no one should ever darken the
church door who does not intend to
act a gentlemen or lady wlnl then.
-Itls bad enough to disgrace our
selves by impudent conduct at church,
jiutji is s,till worse to disgrace out
parents thus to advertise to the world
that they bad never taught us better,
or if they had, that we were so desti
tute of the grace ot obedience as to
disregard their better council.
“I think that church disturbers
surely do not have the remotest idea
surely no nut , . .
many times of how disgraceful
and revolting this con met appears in
the sight of well behaved people.
How much better would it olten be
for us if wo could see ourselves as
other see us.
“I et us point out a few of the mo. I
common improprieties in church con
duct :
Ist. It is quite out if order to re-
main out doors, laughing and talking,
after service begins. You disturb
both preacher and congregation ov
stalking into the house after services
have opened. Always try to he or.
hand to hear the first words of the
service. The trees and stumps m the
church yard can do without your
company long enough for you to at
tend the entire church service, hev
er he guiltv of this breach of good
manners and lack of respect tor the
service of God.
2nd. Another very reprehensive
2nd. Anoiuer y
performance consist in coming in and
coin" out in time of service. Some
times a boy will jump up and run out
two or three times during the same
service. Oh, how pretty he appears
in the eyes of sensible people ! I won
der how such fellow feels when they
get out air themselves and come
sneaking back? Never go to church
unless you intend to go into the house
at the opening of ths service and re-
main until its closed.
3rd; Still another very and and clis.
graceful performanbe is boys and girls
talkin'* together in time of worship
sitting erect and gazing about in time
of prayer? How irreverent! How
| presumptuous 1 How dare any one so
profane God’s santuary?
i 4th. Yet another very unbecoming
1 act is whittling on the back of the
I seat scribbiing on the church walls or
seat -
i„ hymn books, and while this part of
the performance is going on he may
have a freat cud of tobacco in liis
mouth and spitting great puddles of
| the filthy juice on the church floor.
How blame worthy is he who indulges
j in any of these inconsistencies,
“Again some youthful sapheads
takes a great delight in pulling out and
“xlnbiting their tine watches as if no
ollie l ' person in the broad land was
able to carry a little brass time piece.
“There are yet many other ways to
behave unbecomingly in and about
the church of God that I might men
tion but, kt these suffice.
“In conclusion, it is but simple
politeness to behave well m other
people's houses. How much more
should we ieveneuce the bouse of
God I
“Let us ever show that wo respect our
parents; that we respect ourselves;
and that we resect the sanctuary by
confirming to all the rules of worship
of whatever church we may attend.
Sometimes young people take greater
latitude when they visit other church
cs or other denominations than they
do at their home church.
‘ Tins is all wrong. Your own jfeo
make more allowance for you tiian
others will. Then let your conduct
ever be such as cannot be spoken
against by the wise or the good.

The discovery, of McElfreo’s Wine*
of Curdiii has brought about a revolu
tion in the ireaiineut of the common
complaints, from which all women
sometimes suffer, caPed “Female
Diseases.” The belief that these
troubles could only bo treated after
examinations by physicians, and
frequently only cured bv the surgeon’h
knife, was once widespread. The
dread of such treatment, arid expos
ure kept thousands of modest women
silent about their suffering. They
preferred the pains and tarture to
going to a physician about such
matters.
Method of Keeping Ejg;*.
Question’.—Can you give me some re
ceipt by which I can keep eggs from
March until the following winter?
Answer. —There are a number of
methods that are recommended toi
keeping eggs, but I doubt very mr;oh
whether any of them would preserve
the eggs in eatable condition for the
length of time yon desire. I would sug
gest that you put up the eggs in Sep
tember and October, when they are
usually very cheap, and you cau then
keep then until Xmas, and sell at a good
profit. Either of the following meth-
ods are said to be good, but in every
case the eggs must be perfectly fresh,
ftf'i'P.T -* 1 ” 11 certainly spoil. First j
Method—Slack tjlick lime in water suf
ficiently for your purpose, aud when it
has settled, draw off the water. 1l
each gallon of water add 1 pound of
salt. Immerse the eggs in this solution,
and be careful to always keep them be- S
low the surface of tlie water. The fob j
lowing method, tried by the Agricult- j
ural Department at Washington, was j
found to keep the eggs in good coudi- |
tion for six months in cool weather, viz: j
Rub or rather anoint the eggs all over |
with liuseed oil, and place them with
the" small ends downward in dry Barn-, j
Still another plan is to dissolve 4 ounr.es |
of beeswax in 7 ounces of warm oivo ,
oil. anoint the eggs all over with this
preparation, and put away in a cool
place. This will preserve them for many
mouths, it is said.—State Agricultural

Watch out daily foe the hatching of

Question.-vl have made corn for 20

nsim- no fertilizers, and leaving two to
four stalks in the hilL I know nothing
wont raism"' corn iu Georgia and I and
several of my friends would Ufa.some
instructions from you. lell us als)
what “Side crops” to plant, both for
hay and for feeding greep.
I-lUJ
Answer. —The climatic conditions
and the soil of Georgia are so entirely
different from what you have been ac
customed to in lowa, that you will have
to get rid of your fixed ideas sout ciirn
raising and adopt those in vogue! here,
or make a failure. The j-.il of the lowa
prairies is deep, full * humus, and
well adapted to eorn, and the season.of
„ row th being short, nature beneficently
provides that all e-reals rush rapidly to
maturity. In this state we have a thin
soil ou our uplands, denuded of humus
SOU 011 oui up..
to a great extent by long cultivation in
cotton and a long season of summer,
during which on- corn crop leisurely
reaches maturity. On account of these
differences in soil and climate, yon must
in Georgia make your rows wider, drop
the corn farther apart and leave fewer
t-lie corn farmer
g talks in the hill than you would in
lowa On our river bottoms and in
the rich valleys of the Cherokee coun
try you can plant corn much closer and
make good crops, but it wont do ou our
ordinary uplands. In preparing the
lard break up flush, or bed out m 5
foot rows, plowing as deep as possible,
but not bringing the subsoil to the sur
face I prefer bedding out the mud in
K funt rows, and planting in the water
5 foot rows, and planting m wnx
furrow ( except iu very sandy soil), a.
in that case you get your corn deeper m
the ground and can work it with more
ease afterwards, as well as putting U
where it can best withstand drouth.
When ready to plant, from first to
last of March, according to locality,
•trewinthe water furrow (the plant
ing furrow) 300 pounds of a fertilizer
Inc mrrow ; ouw
carrying 7 per cent phosphoric acid, j
1 60 per cent potash and 4 per cent ant- i
monia. Run a scooter plow
. , u ix the fertilizer with the soi ,
then* drop your coruV-l feet apart two
grains to the hill, and cover with
! double-foot plow. When tne corn get3
i the fourth loaf, thin to one stalk in tho
hill. Taking for granted that the laud
has been deeply broken before planting,
let the cultivation from beginning to
end bo shallow, either with sweeps or
cultivators, throwing a little dirt to tho
corn at each plowing. Pluw tlie crop
every 15 or 18 days, “laying it by” just
before the tassels appear. If carefully
plowed there will be no need of hoeing,
but should any weeds or grass escape
the plow, cut out with the hoe. As
you “lay by,” sow a half bushel of cow
peas to the acre, ahead of the plows.
By following these directions, you
should make from 12 to 2!) bushels of
coru on any laud in Georgia that is
worth cultivating. As “side crops,”
plant German millet, sorghum, cat-tail
millet, or drilled corn. All of these
should be planted on rich, deeply broken
laud to yield weli. In sandy or very
poor soil you had bettor plant yoar coru
in rows 6 feet wide, with a row of fi4ld
peas in tho middle.—State Agricultural
Department.
Grafting Wax.
Question. Please toll me how to
make grafting wax. And give mo a
good recipe for making whitewash that
will stick.
Answer. —A cheap and good grafting
wax can be made by melting together
two parts of beeswax, one part of tallow
aud four parts of rosin. Stir until cool
enough to handle.and then pull like mo
lasses candy. After applying cover with
cloth or paper, to protect from a very
hot sun. If you want a harder wax,
nse five parts of rosin instead of four.
Another grafting wax much used is
made by matting together three part3 of
rosin, three parts of beeswax aud two
parts of tallow.
To mala good whitewash, take
bushel unbaked lime, freshly burned if
possible. /Slake with hot water, keep
ing covered in the process. Add to this
1 peck of salt, dissolved in soft or rain
water. Then add 5 gallon- hot water,
stirring veil. Cover up and let stand
two or three days before using. When
using ajfily hot aud yon will find it
