Jackson County, Georgia
Mr. Editor—As farming is be
coming of more and more interest to
the public I hope not to intrude by
writing a few lines on the subject.
Crops look well in this part of the
county at present, particularly cot
ton. Wheat is good where it is well
manured, but we are comparatively
speaking, yet in the woods. To form
successfully we must clear our land
that is lying in the woods, and old
fields, ami cultivate grass and more
small grain and raise more stock and
improve our land, year after year, so
that each succeeding year it will
grow two blades of grass where only
one grew before. I see a communi
cation in you! last issue from an old
farmer signing himself “ Bill Arp,’’
his main crops eeom to be potatoes
and iiijnu sets, be complains of a small
mistake in the management of his
iiijnu sets on account of his editor
not being luminous, but finally cor
rected the mistake with hut little
loss or trouble. By the way, Bill
must pull the bean out of his own
i ye before he complains of the editor
in several points in his communication
he is not luminous, for instance, in
his P. S. he asks what is the very
latest from Dameron and Block,
which is ahead, and in the heading of
his communication he calls it a relig
ious postcript, hut I cannot imagine
how Dameron and Block can he con
strued into religion, it may be Damons
and Brock I know an old Methodist
preacher named Damons and an old
Baptist preacher named Brock, it
may be, Bill wishes to know which is
ahead the Methodist or Baptist, his
remarks about Harris are luminous,
lie describes J. Harris minutely,
John knows every thing, lie says he
1 nows Bill Arp but his dictionary i<
blank. We hope to hear from Bill
frequently and expect him to he more
luminous, his conundrums are lumi-
n ms but they don’t puzzle Harris.

The Liver is tl »• imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it con
trois the lift*, health and happiness of
man. When it is disturbed in its
proper action, all kinds of ailments
are the natural result. The digestion
of food, the movements of the heart
and blood, the action of the brain
and nervous system, are all immedi
ately connected with the working ol
the Liver. It lias been successfully
proved that Green’s August Flower
is unequalled in curing all persons ai-

Too little attention is given to this
matter by farmers ; and in this they
stand in their own light. The hog
is a grazing animal, and during ti e
season when grass supplies food for
stock, he will do better w hen kept
on it than when fed on anything. On
t is topic Prof. Rodney Welch says
in the Chicago Times: “ A hog is as
much entitled to grass during summer
as a cow’ is, and will profit quite as
much from it. As a dairyman studies
how to have a good pasture for his
milch cows, so a raiser of hogs should
study how to have ? good pasture for
his breed of stock bogs. Too many
farmers give very little attention to
the food their hogs receive till it
comes time to commence fattening
them, when they are impatient to
stuff them with all they can devour.
They seem to think it is only neces
sary to give them enough to he-;
them alive up to that time.”
A Great Farmer’s Maxims.
The successful life of Mr. Jacob
Straw, the prince of American farm-
ers is attributed to the close observ
ance of the following maxims origi
nated by’ himself:
Make y’our fences high and strong,
so they will keep cattle and pigs out.
If you have brush, make your lots
strong and secure and keep the hogs
from the corn.
Be sure to get hands to bed by
seven o’clock ; they will rise early by
force of circumstances.
Pay a hand, if lie is a poor hand,
all you promise biin ; if he is a good
hand pay him a little more ; it wiil
cucourage him to do still better.
Always feed your hands as well hs
you feed yourselves, for thedahoring
men are the bone and sinew of the
land and ought to be well treeted.

and by a chonical process mixed with other
Ingredients. Before lending their influence to
increase the sale of any bak ing powder, grocers
would do well to ascertain the reputation and
standing of its manufacturers. They would
thus avoid Incoming instrumental in perpe
trating a fraud on their customers, and would
in the long run make more money. Of course
no honest man would knowingly lend himself
to such a fraud upon his customers, and It is
very poor policy for any grocer to attempt to
palm off inferior goods when the best are
asked for. He may by so doing make a little
money at the time, but he surely will at somo
time, if the fraud is discovered, lose one of his
best customers, and with him a score of others
who might otherwise have dealt with him.
A merchant's wisest policy is to secure the best
customers, and they are just the ones who
want the best goods. SEA FOAM is
WITHOUT m EQUAL
It is prepared from the purestand best materi
als only, and is never under any circum
stances adulterated. There is no longer any
excuse for sour, heavy, or sodden bread, bis
cuit, or pastry. Every housewife in the land
should make herself acquainted with the facts
we have stated, which are indisputable, and
she will soon ascertain that most of the yeast
preparations now being sold are anything
else but wnnt they profess to be, anil Hint
this is the main reason why so large a propor
tion of the bread consumed by the masses ol
the community is uiilieulthful. Invalids aro
especially interested in this question of yeast,
and ought to keep constantly in mind the im
portant fact that their dietary should at all
times be the best, and that under the most
favorable circumstances they can not hope to
regain health and strength unless their food is
tho most healthful and nutritious that can be
obtained. Good food makes good blood, and
the nerve force is strengthened or impaired in
proportion as the food we eat is nutritious or
otherwise.
SEA FOAM is worthy of a fair trial, and
that Is all we ask for it.
No one having once used it will overuse any
oilier preparation in the baking powder line,
but will at once and forever banish from the
housothe various crude mixtures and bogus
preparations in the form of yeast that have so
long and so persistently tended to destroy
health by imperfectly performing tho require
ments they professed to fulfill.
SEA FOAM retains in all their excel
lence the nutritious properties and natural
taste of the various cereal preparations of food,
while In bread raised by tho ordinary means
there is very frequently great loss of their
toothsome and palatable qualities.
Of all baking or yeast powders, Sea Foam
is beyond dispute the
BEST IN THE WORLD
Give it a trial, and you will concede that we
have offered you the means to m.v. poor
flour much better than when used under
ordinary conditions, while good flour will be
Immeasurably increased in sweetness, rich
ness, and all those qualities which combine to
render good bread essentially the staff «f lift.
SEA FOAM is now used by the leading
hotels and restaurants in New York city and
throughout tho country. One eating-house in
New York has become famous for its SEA
FOAM biscuit, and during the dinner honn
there are always dozens of people waiting
their turn to be seated.
Ask your grocer to get it for you, if he has
not already placed it in his stock, and If an
obliging man ho will do so; or send for
