(ILIAWOOD FARM.
What a Northern Farmer is Do
intf in Georgia.
From the Madison, G;r., Madisonian.
Glen wood farm is one of the best
pointe 1 and most profitable farms in
31iddl ■ Georgia. The career of its
owner. Mr. Morgan, is a mos, entei
taimng’one,since he has indubitably d<*
moustrated that intelligent farming
pays iu this section.
In Is,4 Mr. 3Iorgan deteimined ^°
leave IV isconsiu on account of his
Xhealth, and hearing of the splendid eli
and exhnberant soil of Middle
Vdeorg'a, came to Madison and pur¬
chased Glenwood, a plantation of 1,100
( eres. The soil had been considerably
by the policy of clean culture
-d by its former owners, and Mr.
n immediately set to work to re
it, his purpose being to leave
it in a better condition each ytar, a i>ol
icy which he lias carried out, w hich ac¬
counts for the high state of improve
uient it has attained.
Air. Morgan paid great attention to
grain and grasses from the first and
made
cotton A TKI.-LV SURPU’S crop.
A fact which is attested by quite a
number of bales now lying under his
shed. His success with grain was in all
respects satisfactory, having made as
high as thirty-six bushels of wheat,fifty
of bai ley and seventy-live of oats per
fvere, lie experimented with the civil-i
izfld grasses, clover, rodtop, timothy,
atnl lucerne, while haying attained sat
isfactory results in most instances he
regards the bennuda grass as the great
alchemist that will condense the sun
beam.' into a golden stream
into the pockets of the Southern farmer,
“Why, sir,” said Air. Morgan, point
ingtoa pasture of ten or fifteen acres,
“was that land located in the farthest
corner of my plantation, l j
wouldn’t take$100 AN acUK rrtR it.”
Mr. Morgan uses only the most ini
proved implements, such as Syracuse
chilled plows, revolved disc harrows, j
Wood and etc., and '
reapers mowers,
all of his rolling lands arc plowed w ith
hillside plpws, with reversible mold- !
boards. He raises almost all of his own ,
supplies, and his table is bountifully |
i&upp}u.d with the finest home-rais-d !
foam, chickens, eggs, honey, spring !
lamh. fruits and vegetables, I
His residence is located in a noble
grove of patriarchal oaks; expansive
fields of wayy green beautify the land¬
scape. and smiling plenty i«ul gentle
contentment greet the visitor iu their
chosen abode,
31 r, Morgan has recently turned In¬
attention to raising fine blooded cattle,

cents per pound. Great care is exer- j
cised iu making the butter, as it is lia
hie to be spoiled in all stages of the pro- i
ye.-.-. .Mr Morgan prefers the Stod
dard churn, as it is on the principle of
revolving barrels, and the butter is
produced by concussion, making it
granular in character, and in
churns the principle is friction, Ills ex
il perience is that the Blanchard butter
orkers gives the best results.
OnH- three years ago Mr. Morgan de

stock, and purchased from Ilunnieutt

A New Species of Bat.
Hardly had our nerves gained their
wonted composure, after the terrible
excitement produced by Mr. Healey’s
account of the large snake which he cn
countered on Ids way to Eastman a few
day- since, w hen Mr. Ed Carnes, an
attache of this paper, and a highly rep
utable young man, walked into the of
flee and deposited a “red hat” on our
table. His account of its capture is
substantially as follows:
Mr. Carnes had just left home, on his
way to the office, about 0:30 o’clock,
and when opposite Mr. Woodward’s
garden, something came whizzing
through the air and lit on the outside of
the fence in the. street. The object
came so close to his head, that it fright
cried him; but after it lit he determined
to investigate it, He approached the
spot where it lay very cautiously. lie
discovered it to be a bird, and it lay mo
tionless—probably stunned by the fall—
and lie picked it, wrapped it carefully
in a paper, and brought it down to the
office, where it is now on exhibition to
all w ho may desme to see. It is of red
dish color, and while it made a nei.se in
its descent similar to that of the com
inon “hull hat,” in all other respect-it
is entirely dissimilar. It length is
about six inches, and from its head to
tail there is little is any difference in
width. It head is as broad as the Unit
portion of the, body to wldch the wings
are. attached, .y.n< Httte if any neck is'
It has tli us far refused to eat.
and lies perfectly still, the only visible
signs of life being an occasional
iug of the eyes, We have placed it in
box, securely covered but properly veil
dialed, where those who desire to see it
can do so.
