Five Karts of farming.
\. A horse that would balk and kick
terribly'before the plow, 1 cured at once
l,y simply blinding him with a cloth for
half tin hour. At quite lon# intervals
piis would have to be repeated. I have
very unruly fellow now that I can only
ke *p inside an ordinary fence by fasten
ing a hood over his eyes when turned out
to pasture. I think almost any balking
horse could be made to pull b.y simply
covering his eyes lor a short time.
2. It may not be known to all that
ho4~. oven sows with pigs, do very well
on o-ood pasture all summerlong. Toward
j ;! : iii an orchard when apples begin to
drop they will do exceedingly well with
ro other feed.
:i Many farmers cure hay entirely too
much, thereby damaging it considerably.
If mowed away with discretion (and
unusually damp loads put by themselves),
it, ,-aii be safely stored with half the cur
ing often given.
4. When you see the deep green leaves
of a fruit tree taking on a lighter shade,
look at once for grubs at the base of the
t r uiik. By probing with a steel wire that
will spring every way and will not stay
h nt. you can soon rout t hese destroyers.
Probably not half of the farmers
give lime in any form to their fowls, of
cnU rse the hens manage to lay tolerably
•without the direct supply of lime, but the
shells are often very thin and eggs
mm li fewer than though the birds had a
; ,|| supply of oysters and clam shells,
which they eat greedily, showing very
plainly their necessity for the fowls to do
their best.
drape Culture in Northern Georgia.
linn m-r-Watchman.
drape culture in the mountain coun
tie- of Northeast Georgia promises enor
mous returns, A great many varieties
o the choicest grapes grow there in per
t ion, and with almost guaranteed
yield. Many vineyards are now beating
I ; adsomely, and within a very few years
all of the counties contiguous to the
Richmond and Danville railroad will be
covered with the luscious grape vine.
Tie- summer resorts in that section are
now supplied with grapes from vineyards
from the mountains, besides a great
many being pressed for wine. Some of
the finest wine in the world is made from
a'rapes grown on the mountain sides in
Albemarle county, Virginia. Rough
lands that fonnevly yielded nothing are
now covered with vines, and their juice
is diM.nk ns a great delicacy in the finest
restaurants in the cities, so it will be
with our own North Georgia hillsides.
Tii owners of these lands in Georgiff do
not fully appreciate their value, but in a
f>v\ years they or others will, and Geor
gia ill become one of the first wine pro
ducing sections of the globe.
In California the tax returns of the
single county of Fresno shows an in
cre.ise of $21.7)00,000 due almost en
tirely to raisin-making. Why should
not the returns of Hall, Habersham and
adjoining counties show a proportions'te
property increase from grape raising?
With her mineral resources, her fertile
valleys, and her hillsides covered with
vines bearing twelve inch bunches of
gi.-ipes, Northeast Georgia will develop
amazingly within the next few years.
A Out*s*i.)M With Farmers.
linquirer-Siin.
The outlook now is that the cotton
crop of 1888-79 will he considerably less
than the crop of 1887-88. The reports
from many sections of Texas and Missis
sippi are extremely discouraging and the
general crop is believed to be below the
average. The crop is reported to be
about three weeks late and the general
movement is more than' ohe-thinl short
of last year's receipts to the same date.
In view of these circumstances, it is
nat .rail to suppose that the price of cot
ton will advance, yet this is by no means
retain; it may take an opposite course,
as tin* market is controlled almost en
tirely by speculators.
The question with the farmer now is
whether to hold his cotton for bett<r
prio* or get it to market as rapidly as
p s-ible. The question is an important
o- " farmer is much more indepen
' “ now than he was a month ago.
1 any of them have taken up t.ieit
paper and are under obligations to no
one. They are not obliged to market
their cotton and can hold it for several
months to come, if they think best. It
is not believed that farmers will genei
ally do this, however, as they are unwill
ing to risk a possible loss by holding
back their cotton. If the market was
governed by the law of supply and de
mand, and not by speculation, the well
posted farmer could always tell when to
hold and when to sell his cotton. As it
is ih ‘J|are left in the dark.
Tie* only time that the entire fire de
partment of any city was ever called
for the purpose of extinguishing the
moon was at 0 o’clock last Satin day
fa nning. r ! h * scene of this occurrence
was the thriving city of Americas, Ga.
At the hour named the full moon
cm _;ed from behind a bank of dark
clouds. Some enthusiastic fireman saw
the reflection on the side of a house and
yellM ‘*fire,’’ and in a moment after a
general alarm was sounded, calling out
the entire department.—Banner-Watch
