Will you kindly allow me space in

M,v subject is:
The Charm And Pleasure Of
Farm Life.
I dare say many who till the soil will
laughingly inq.ire wherein lies the
charm, and from whence eometh the
pleasure ?
When God created the world he
gave to it many ornaments, such as
the forest,the streams, the hills, the
valleys, etc. These natural orna
meets please the eye of man, ever
have and ever will.
It i- true of late that too many,
gold and silver, viches and wealth are
apparently all that is necessary to
make a man happy, and it is just as
true that many spend their lives in
pursuit of the same without success
and goto their giaves withoot hay ng
seen any pleasure in this world, and
without hope for the next, while those
who do succeed in accumulating some
wealth in dollars and cents, and lands
and cattle, declare themselves most
miserable of men.
The nappiebt man is the mar who
owns a little farm, owes no man a cent
believes in the God who gave him life,
and serves him, earns his bread and
meat "by the sweat of his brew,” aid
does not mind it.
A nice little home on a nice little
farm; a good, devoted wife to keep
the former neat and inviting in ap
pearance, and a kind, loving husband
to manage and till the farm in sucli a
way as to bring forth the best results
with as little cost as possible.
At early dawn the farmer rises,
makes the fires, brings the wood and
water, then goes to the barn where he
is greeted by the neighing of horses,
the lowing of the cows and the lila
ting of the sheep, these tokens ol rec
ogni' ion and appreciation to the ear,
and the farmer delights in satisfying
their wants by giving to each an ex
cellent rnenl. O oi- vov’t. *h house
.. ... . . sc t : ; i ■ .--■•of
die chicks. They, 100, must have
their breakfast, so he gets food f£>r
them, and having satisfied them, he is
again on his way to the house. In the
mean time the wife has prep' red a
good, wbolsomc, inviting meal for her
self and husband, and awaits him at
the door with a cheerful smile.
Both enjoy the repast to the fullest
extent, aud must I say, are sorry
when his over? No. while of course,
it would be pleasant to sit and taik,
each one is aware that there is work to
do, and knowihg this, has ao desire to
waste the precious moments in idle
conversation.
So, broakfas being over, the farmer
goes to bis work, whatever it mdy be
on this particular day, and as he goes
he Is greeted by the melodious of the
birds as they come wafted from their
very throats, as they sit perched upon
the many beucyng boughs of the forest
tree; The merry little stream, as it
goes dancing, sparkling and rippling
over the rocks and down the bills,
sends its merry song, echoing and re
echoing through the forest, to gladden
the heart of the farmer, and of al who
chanci to pass that wav.
The trie tops, swayed backward
and far ward, the waving of the grain
anj the naumiering of the gentle
spring breezes are plasing to the ere
and ear. So it is with a light and
grateful heart that the farmer begins
his work,
The wife, after clearing the table,
washing the dishes, and re setting the
table, —in the meantime humming a
pleasant little dittv—, goes to clean,
ing the bouse and tnakiug butter,
■ This done, the milk and butter in
tbe spring house or cellar, she has a
few hours for sewing, knitting reading
etc, etc,
Then dinner is to cook but she doe.-
not mind it, for her husband makes
and keens plenty tor the tabze, so she
will not spend the entire morning
worrying ab,.ut what to cook for din
ner,
The song? of-the birds and of the
little streams, the murmering of the
gentle breezes, all find tbeir way into
hei room and are welcomed by an at
tentive ear.
After a while the ding-dong of the
dinner hell calls the farmer from the
field to refresh himself and take more
food to give him strength for the aft
ernoon’s work, and it is with quite a
good appetite that he takes h pl; '
at the tub e again, afu-r having ted
the stock, and having been met again
at the dooe- by a cheerful smile from
his wife.
Burner over, they spend an hour
talking, reading and resting, then the
farmer go. s again to his work and th e
wife to hers.
The dishes having been washed and
replaced, the wife dons another gown
and goes over to spene a whiie with
a neighbor. As she goes, she passes
by where ltet husbabd is at work, and
stops to talk with him a little while
and listen to him as he tells her about
his work.
When she has gone the farmer Jie
suraes his work with pleasrnt thoughts
and a happy heart. The wife nas a
plaasant afternoon with her neighbors,
limn returns in time to prepare a good
supper.
On her way home the is greated a
gain by the pleasant sounds of the
morning, increased by the croaking of
the frogs. She looks with much plea
sure upos the hills aod valleys, the
trees and the fields. The forests all
robed in garments of beautiful green
ti ed by the rays of the settiog sun
present a very pleasant picture.
The fanner too enjoys these same
pleures, and as the day begins to
change to twilight, quits the field and
starts for his home, happv n the
thought that he has done a good days
work, that he has a good home, and a
good good wife to grace that home,
brighten and cheer his life.

Comiitlftftloiif'r O. B. Stevens Points
Out That Tillrrs Should
Tik<* to I I. wart Trickery.
Question.— How arc tho farmers pro
tected from spurious guanos and what
steps can be taken to have our guano.')
analyzed and procure information con
cerning these goods before we nave to
pay for same?
Answer —This department was es
tablished to protect the interest of the
farmers, and to give information on all
subjects pertaining to the agricultural
interests. Under ihe present laws which
govern the sale of commercial fertili
zers few, if any, manufacturers or man
ipulators would attempt to sell spurious
articles to the farmers of this state.
The environments placed upon the sale
of fertilizers are adequate and of such
character that render it almost an
impossibility to pass off shoddy goods
upon the purchaser. It is true that
agents in their desire to sell often rep
resent their goods to run higher than
their guarantee, but the farmers are
much to blame for their gullibility in
taking for granted that tho goods are
what they are represented by overzeal
ous agents. When farmers pay no at
tention to the guarantees that are
printed on the sacks of every brand, it
is their fault, if they are deceived as to
its value. The law requires that each
sack shall have the brand printed upou
it, also giving the analysis and the guar
antee of each ingredient that goes to
make up the total amount of plant food.
Of course strict attention should be
given to the minimum guarantee and
no* tho maximum, a9 the manufactur
ers try to give enough of each ingredi
ent to go above the minimum guaran
tee, so as to meet the requirements of
the law, therefore the minimum guar
antee is the only thing to which we
should pay attention. After the goods
are purchased, then the law comes to the
rescue of both the purchaser and seller.
The law requires the manufacturer to
register the name of the goods, the
name of the manufacturer, the place
where manufactured and the guarantee
of what amount of plant food with this
department before they sell or offer for
sale any of their brands. After the
brands are registered, the law requires
the manufacturers to give the commis
sioner of agriculture notices each day
of every sack of good 9 sold or consigned
to parties in this state, also to give the
names of the parties to whom sold, and
where said goods are to be delivered, so
that every sack comes directly under
the eye of the commissioner, and he
can send inspectors to find the different
brands in all portions of the state. The
samples are taken by the inspectors and
are sealed by them and sent to the com
missioner. They are then numbered
and recorded in this office and sent to
the chemist. The state chemist ana
lyzes these goods, and they are returned
to the commissioner by number. These
reports are then recorded, and go to
make up the bulletin which is sent to
every one from whom a sample was
taken and to all who a6k for them. Be
sides this plan of procuring samples, I
have issued a circular letter through
the newspapers of Georgia stating, that
if any person desired a special analysis
of his guano, that if he would send me
a request, I would send an inspector to
get a sample of the goods and make an
analysis of it. The law requires that
if the commissioner sends in a sample
to tho state chemist, it must be taken
by a sworn inspector, and only from un
broken sacks or packages. As soon as
the chemist can analyze these goods,
the results are sent directly to the per
sons for whom made.
Under the Ellington law, every
farmer can demand that a sample shall
be taken of the goods he purchases at
the time of the delivery for the party
from whom he buys his guanos. This
sample shall be taken by both the seller
and buyer, delivered to the ordinary,
and he will seal it in their presence and
make arecord of same. If for any reason
the purchaser believes that his crop is
not benefited by the use of said fertilizer,
he can have the ordinary to send the sam
ple to the state chemist for analysis, and
if the goods do not come up to the
guarantee, the purchaser need uot pay
for them. Thus you see the many pre
cautions thrown around the sale of this
article of commerce.
(1.) Register the name of the manu
facturer, where manufactured, name of
brand aud the amount of plant food said
brand contains.
-(2.) Purchase tags for same, and place
them on the sacks.
(8. > Notify the commissioner of agri
culture of every sale or consignment.
Give name aud address of each pur
chaser or consignee.
All of this information is required to
be given, and is filed and recorded.
Should they fail to do this, the seller
not only subjects himself to noucoilec
tion fof the goods, but alßo to prosecu
tion for misdemeanor.
I propose as commissioner to give op
portunity to the farmers to protect
themselves from the dishonest dealer,
as well as to protect the interests of the
honest tnanaiacturer who complies with
the law.—Stats Agricultural Depart
