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 ‘ for holding the Banks county institute No; our teachers are not to be dragged out of the county to spend ■ * i A Ki.Ain cOtYl A their money in helping to boom some city We have always had as good experts as could be desired, and will continue to have them.

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.

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.

Ten million dollars worth of Geor gia marble is now used in the con struction of three famous buildings. The state capitol of Rhode Island, the cathedral of St. John and St. Luke’s hospital, New York. The negroes of Concord, N. C., liave.snbscribed $75,000 toward a cot ton mill to be erected there and oper ated exclusively by negro labor. All the officers of the company save one are negroes. 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 Department.

Daring t.m winter the treos should be ctreiu.iy examined, and if these or any oihfr tbhle insects aro found they should be scraped off as thoroughly as possibly. This menus, however, will not entirely exterminate the lice, as many will bo on the smaller twigs, which cannot bo scraped, there fore other moans must also bo used. Watch out daily foe the hatching of the young lice, which in Muddle,Geor gia will occur early in April, or sooner, if the weather is warm. A clave ex amination will show them moving about on the bark, hunting for a good place to settle and insert their beaks, which once done, they remain station ary for the balance of their lives, suck ing the juices of the tree and doing it great damage. While running about, i and for a short time after they become stationary, they are easily destroyed, being thou very tender and delicate. Three remedies are recommend id, and doubtless they are ail good.

Question.-vl have made corn for 20 veais oil the prairie lauds of lowa, 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 ' - y satisfactory.
