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.
