cHors 01 rut: COUNTY.
From many portions of the county
comes the cry of drouth, although in
some parts there have been seasons
end the crops look very well. Smith’s
district lias sullered the most, in part
of which there has l>een no rain in
twelve weeks. We notice where dry
weather lias been that crops of cotton
and corn look very small, but the cot
ton looks healthy, and with rain soon
we l>elieve fair crops will be made.
With a seasonable rain won, taking
the whole county, there will be a fine
crop we hope.
ELBERT FAIR ASSOCIATION.
With the advent of the Railroad to
Elberton, her people arc endeavoring
to get up a great many new projects,
amongst which we sec a fair associa
tion. that we suppose intends to hold
an exhibition this fall. Ever since the
organization of our Agricultural Society
we have had this matter up, and our
people have discussed the merits of
getting up such an institution for this
county. The efforts of our Society
have never amounted to anything more
than wind work; but it seems to ns
that we might profit by the action of
our neighboring county, and our farm
ers could commence now to get differ
ent farm products, stock and articles
to exhibit at the Elbert county fair,
and enter into competition for their
prizes. We suppose their fair will be
free, or her prize lists will be free at
least, to the comjietition of her neigh
boring counties. We respectfully ask
our Elbert county brethren that they
keep our society posted on.the progress
of their work, which we shall watch
with much interest.
WEIGHING CHICKENS.
As the season is now at hand for
bringing in spring chickens for sale,
we would suggest that the fairest way
for the buyer and the farmer would be
to weigh them. Let them be worth so
much a pound, and they will bring their
value according to their weight. We
saw in the Atlanta Constitution the
other day that, the chickens shipped
there from Tennessee were as a rule
much finer than those from the Air
Line region, and gave as the reason
that in Tennessee the rule was there to
weigli them. Here the practice is to
buy them at so much a heal, and there
is a great ditference in them, and the
farmer that feeds his chickens does not
get the worth of them in market, while
he who lets them take the range and
subsist any way gets more than they
are worth.

The following exchanges are received
for July:
The Southern Farmers’ Monthly,
published by J. 11. Estill, of Savan
nah, and e iited by L. C. Bryan, of
Thornasville—price $2 a year. It is
full of information for the farmer, on
all subjects connected with his" calling.
This is a home journal, not to be ex
celled in the United States, and we
hope to see it soon in the hands ol
many of the farmers of this county.
Also, the National Live Stock Jour
nal, of Chicago. 111., which is a live
publication—the price is only $2 a year,
and would be a profitable book in the
hands of our fanners. There is an il
lustration in this number of anew
breed of sheep called the “Oxford
Down,” and are claimed to be very
fine for mutton, and also for the pro
duction of wool. We think, however,
the American Merino is the best sheep
for our country.
Flies.
Pay Ur, July 8, 1870.
Mr. Editor : We have heard that
walnut leaves, kept suspended around
a room, kitchen or in a stable, or any
place infested with tlies, is a preven
tive, and they will not come where the
same is placed. Has any one tried
this ? or can any one give us a remedy
that will keep flies away, other than the
fly traps ? 11.
Great Yields of Corn.
t outhern Farmer* Monthly,
An old Delaware county (l J a.) fanner
gives an account of his successful corn
planting; gives the figures showing the
results in several cases, which have
been well attested, where greater yields
than any he had quoted : In the year
1853 John A. Wilton, of Franklin
county, Maine, raised bushels on
half an aero. James Armstrong, of
Knoxville, Tenn., raised in 1859 four
thousand bushels on forty acres. Dr.
John Tuttle, twenty-five miles north
east of New York city, raised one sea
son an average of over eighty-eight
bushels on fourteen and a half acres,
.and an average of one hundred and
ten bushels on a six-acre lot. Dr. J.
W. Parker, of Columbia, South Caro
lina. grew, in 1857, upon his farm, near
that city, two hundred bushels and
twelve quarts upon one measured acre
of ground, and one hundred and six
teen bushels aud six quarts upon an
other acre.
Illinois has 800.000 milk cows. To
properly care for them and their pro
ducts requires the labor of 40,000 men
and 60,000 horses ; while they demand
for their subsistence the use of over
3,000,000 acres of land. Their to‘al
money value is placed at $124,800,000.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.

A 1. 1 description of wires ar* retnt*dial by the prop*i
nd diligent tine of this inestimable preparation. To
! Mttempt to euro bad legs by p)o*tcrillg the edge* of

| unite a lM>guy diseased condition remain* under
neath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days,
i'lie only rational and successful treatment, as indi
atod bv nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and
about the wound ami to soothe tin*neighboring parts
by rubbing in plenty of the Ointment, as salt is foie
ed into nn at This w ill cause the malignant humors
to be drained oil from the liaid, swollen, and discol
ored parts round aliout the wound, sore, or ulcer,
ami when these humors are removed, the wounds
themselves will soon heal; warm bread and water
poultice* applied over the affected parts, after the
Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and
soften the same and greatly assist the cure. There
is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which
need not be named here, attendant upon the follies
of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently
recommended as a sovereign remedy. In curing
such poisonous sores it never fails to restore the sys-
I ttnn to a healthy state if the Pills betaken according
to the printed instructions.

by the mouth must operate upon the whole system

cheat ami throat, will find themselves relieved as by
a charm. All sufferers front these complaint* should
envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread ami
water poultice, after the Ointment has been well
rubbed in : it will greatly assist the cure of the
throat and (host. To allay the fever and lessen the
inflammation, eight or ten Pills should be taken
night and morning. The Ointment will produce per
spiration. the grand essential in all cases of fevers,
sore throats, or where there might le an oppression
of the chest, either from asthma or other causes.
Piles, Fistulas, Strictures.
The above class of complaints will be removed by
nightly fomenting the parts with warm water, and
then by most effectually rubbing in the ointment.
Persons Muttering from these direful complaints
should lose not a moment in arresting their progress.
It should be understood that it is not sufficient mere
ly to snvar the Ointment on the affected part*, but
it must be well rubbed in for a considerable time two
or three times a day. that it may be taken into the
system, whence it w ill remove any hidden sore or
