If you want to keep your hogs,
horses, cattle and sheep healthy, give
them salt, regularly. There is, no
better vermifuge than salt. Much of
the so-called hog cholera is due to
intestinal worms. All animals desire
salt, showing that it is a want of their
nature, and for a wise purpose.
[From tlic Constitution.]
Marshallviixe, Ga„ Feb. Gl, 1878.
Dr. Tbos. P. Janos, Commissioner of Agricul
ture, Atlanta, Gn:
Dear Sir.—I have recently read
two or three articles on “ Georgia Tea
Culture,” .the most prominent idea
therein contained being the question
whether or not the tea plant would
grow and flourish in this state. I did
not know, until I read these articles,
that there was any doubt cn the sub
ject.
During the war, when the quantity
of imported tea was about exhausted,
and the price so high as to preclude
its use, my wife conceived the idea
that she would attempt the raising of
tea for our own family use. We pur
chased of Dr. L. Acee, of Talbot coun
ty, about a dozen tea plants, and suc
ceeded during the last year of the war
in raising some tea for our own use.
AVc had previously, though, brought
several pounds of Acee. Owing to
want of knowledge of the modus oper-
andum of preparation, it was not so
good on the imported varieties of
Chinese tea.
When the war closed, we cut down
all the plants except two. which we
transplanted to our front yard with
other ornamental shrubbery.
We prize the plants lor the profuse
ness of their evergreen foliage and
their beautiful creamy, white buds and
flowers during the fall and winter
months. We have kept the plants
closely pruued aud they have always
been very thrifty and vigorous in their
growth.
Now, Doctor, if the profit of Geor
gia tea culture depends on the adapta
bility of climate and soil to the growth
and thrift of the plants, there need he
no further doubt on this subject. The
name ot the variety as given us by Dr.
Acee is Chcrshong (it I spell it rightly )
I have gathered this morning from
under the tea bushes, about one-half
pint of the berries or seeds, which I
smd you for gratuitous distribution to
t iose desirous of testing the practica
lity of the experiment.
There was another experiment made
by us during the war, that may he
mentioned in this connection.
The same causis that led to the cul
ture of tea, induced us to experiment
with the poppy, and I was satisfied of
the fact that we can raise in Georgia
as good and as pure opium as ever
grew in Turkey. That raised by us
during the war was pronounced as
good, as the imported, by several phy
sicians of eminence. We raised from
a small quarter in our garden, I sup-
pos 20 x 30 feet; in one summer, en
ough to supply us with laudanum and
paregoric fur several years after the
war. I send you, enclosed with the
tea berries, about an ounce of the same
preserved in the leaf of the poppy I
made during the war, which you can
place among the samples in your office
as a specimen of the varied productions
of our dead old state. Very respect
fully yours. L. M. Felton.
Turnips, carrots and onions, chop
ped, are all beneficial to poultry;
but better than these are cabbage
and lettuce.
To prevent rusting of tin, rub
fresh lard over every part of the
dish and then put it in a hot oven
aud heat it thoroughly. Thus treated,
any tinware may he used in water
constantly, and remain bright aud
free from rust indefinitely.
The Scientific American gives the
following receipt for preserving eggs:
Mix a half pint of unslaked lime with
the same quantity of salt and a couple
of gallons ot boiling water. When
cold, put in the eggs; see that they
are well covered with water, and the
vessel containing them kept in a cool
place. The eggs should he fresh
when put in, as one had one will spoil
all. ___
There is a difference of two quarts
of milk a day between a cow com
fortably housed and the same one
exposed to the cold for half the day.

DU. B1GGKBS—Dear Sir: In the use of your Sout hern Remedy In my family, I have iound it the
most pleasant medicine for children to take, ami the most satisfactory to cure 1 have ever met. I have
used it now for several years, and never allow myself to besrithoutsoiueof it on hand, and its imme
diate use saves all trouble and danger. I have always felt if you had no other claim to the public con
fidence than this specific, it alone should give it to y ou, and both, fame and fortune added, if you
would only sufficiently advertise it to let Jbe world know its healing powci and benefits.

same disease, and it proved a success. ‘ o. C. DAVIS, Atlanta, Ga.

A London paper remarks upon the
great number of oranges eaten by snuff, sfncca’hoy
the Spaniards, it being no uncommon
tl ing for the children of a family to
consume ten or a dozen oranges be
fore breakfast, which is some hours
later than in our hurrying nation.
Such wholesale consumption of what
we look upon as a luxury appears to
have no ill effect. The testimony o Wlnes
a late eminent physician authorizes
the use of frnits as most wholesome
immediately upon waking in the
morning; he, in fact, prescribed such
a regimen to a friend as the only
invigorating and permanent cure for
indigestion, facetiously remarking
that lie gave her a piece of advice
