(Communicated.]
Dk. Cari.ton : —As I have not re
ceived a “Banner for one month I
cannot answer the queries of a “Sub
scriber” only a« remembered by a
neighbor. The Hughes Riding Plow
is manufactured ia St Louis, Mo.,
lrat Long, Allstatter A Co., of Ham
ilton, Ohio, have the right of sale for
Ga. Tho plow is much more than
the maker, Mr. Hughes, claims for it.
I have now used it upon every varie
ty of soil found in Habersham coun
ty. On Savannah loam, sandy, mu
latto and red clay, rocky or rather
gravelly clay, and what the Virgin
ians call chinquepin land, and in a 20
acre orchard. In each and all I did
better plowing than I ever saw done.
Every farmer and many from every
section of the county have witnessed
the plow at work and every one un
qualifiedly pronounced it the best ever
seen. Capt. W., who is noted for
thorough preparation, good teams
and good tools, told me a day or two
ago that land which he ploughed
twice was not halt so well prepared
aa mine. E. II. McAfee, the most
energetic and successful farmer in the
county, alter ploughing a few rounds
said to me: “Dr., if I had time I
would walk after your plow all day
jU6t to see it turn, it does it so beau
tifully. I ploughed a ten acre lot
wbieh averaged 33 1-3 bushels shelled
corn per acre, anjd no one can tell
the land was in corn, and the cultiva
tor tells me he has found no trouble
in laying oft’ and covering the corn
with a plow, the stalks being cut up
by the coulter and turned beneath
the cut of the one-horse plow.
From a memento of Fredericks-
burg, I cannot now walk and plow ;
therefore, since *C5 I have been
watching for a plow that I wanted
aud the first day I saw the advertise
ment in the St. Louis Christian Ad
vocate I wrote for the plow. It cost
me $60, and 1 have saved fully that
amount in two months, and I would
not to-day take $250 and do without
it two years. With it I am hide
pendent. Can turn land when I
wish, which was the great desidcr
atura with me. With a reaper, a
mower, and the riding plow the
Georgia farmer should live easy and
make money. But I shall buy a
sulky cultivator as soon as I can find
one, which I think will pay. We do
not want emigrants to cultivate our
lands, but improved implements,
tools with which we can make light
yields pay a profit. I have kept a
farm account for 27 years with the
exception of’61 to ’65, my corn in
ante bellum years averaged 20 cents
per bushel, since ’65, 35 cents. ' But
hence I think it will be less than 20
cents. If our farmers would sow
oats in August, wheat and rye early
in September, plant corn from 20th
March to 10th April we would
-succeed.
Twenty years ago I commenced
sowing oats in July and A
- Have sold seed oats every year,
sometimes hauled to Athens, not one
•of my immediate neighbors follew
-suit and each of them bad to buy
•every year seed oats. It is strange
but true, two other neighbors sowed
when I did and sold seed oats, but
now only one sowed last fall, E. H
McAfee and he has 25 acres which will
-average-40 to 50 bushels per acre.
A “dry milch cow” is something
have never had—because I sow small
grain and have pasture.

from the stabler. Block estimates
that 100 pounds of hay furnishes 172
pouuds of fresh dung; 100 pounds
oats give-204 pounds, and 100 pounds
of grass gave 43 pounds of fresh
dung. Morton estimates that a horse
furnishes annually 12,000 pounds of
solid excrement and 3,000 pounds of
urine. In Boussingault’s experiment
about 17 pounds of hay and 5 pounds
of oats furnishes 35,4 pounds of fresh
excrement. The manure ^from the
street car stables of New York was

found by Johnson to contain 0.22 per
cent, ofnitrogeu as volatile ammonia
salts, 0.04 per cent, as fixed ammonia
salts, and 0.27 per cent, in other
combinations, making total nitrogen
0.53 per cent. Thess horses were
fed with oats, cornmeal and cut hay
in nearly equal proportions. Accep
ting the*calculations of Boussingault
and Johnson, and putting them to
gether for the sake of an estimate,
and reckoning that two-thirds of the
droppings arc saved—we have 10,000
pounds as the annual amount of ma
nure from a horse, containing 53
pounds of nitrogen. The nitrogen of |
stable manure is worth about 15
cent9 per pound ; which gives a value
to the nitrogen of $7.95.

Good Digestion.—“ Give us this
day our daily bread” ami good medi
cine to digest it, is both reverent and
human. The human stomach and
liver aie fruitful sources of fife’s
comforts ; or disordered and diseased,
they tingle misery along every nerve
and through every artery. The man
or woman with (food digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome
obstacles they meet in the routiue of
life, where the diepeptic sees only
gloom and stumbles and growls at
even imaginary objects. The world
still needs two or three new kinds of
medicine before death can be perfectly
abolished ; but that many lives have
been prolonged, and many sufferers
from Liver disease, Dhpepsia and
Headache, have been cured by Mor
rell's Hepatine, is no longer a doubt.
It cures Headache in twenty minutes,
and there is no question but what it is
the most wonderful discovery made in
medical science. These afflicted with
Biliousness and Liver Complaint
should use Merrell’s Hepatine.

A Gentle Hint.—In our style of j
climate, with its sudden changes of
temperature—rain, wind and sunshine
often intermingled is a single day—-it
b no wonder that our children, fnenda
and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from thb
cause. A bottle of Boschee’a German
Syrup kept about y ur borne for im
mediate use will prevent serious sick
ness, a large doctor's bill, and perhapB
death, by the use of three or four doses. 1

The “Southern Banner,” established m the y ear 1816,
is, consequently, sixty-two years old. Beginning when sci
ence in this country was, comparatively speaking, in its in
fancy—when the “art” of printing was carried on by a slow
and tedious process—when “buck skin balls” were used to
spread the ink over the rough and unsightly types upon which
the paper was printed, with Home News one and Foreign
News two months old, the different Proprietors have battled
with the changes of time—kept pace with the advancement
of science, and the rude types and rough presses have been
laid aside and their places arc now occupied by all the beau
tiful appliances known to the art.
The Banner is not only the Eldest but the largest paper
in North-east Georgia, and its columns are weekly filled with
reading matter suited to all classes and conditions, embracing
