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.
