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, em.,vs IT* w 1 ' mne?;;;:: fineestry.

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 terminedto go exeludvely into fine stock, and purchased from Ilunnieutt & Yancey, of Athens, a fine Jersey bull, a grandson of the fatuous Tormen¬ tor, wh se brow is twined with taurine laurel, being the sire of the most tested descendants than any living bull.

By giving his sheep an abundance of food and good shelter, he experienced no trouble from foot-rot, scab or catarrh. and his flock rapidly increased to 400. While the clip from the 3Ierinos is the KASTMAN, (iA., FRIDAY, MAY IT. 1881). greatest, lie regards the Southdown the most profitable for this section by reason of the fact that it produces finest mutton. a shining kxampi.k.

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.
