EDITED 11Y THE SECRETARY Of THE
HART 00VSTY AOKICULTK.iI. SOCIETY
THE OUTLOOK.
During the prist two weeks there
have been general rains all over the
County. The cotton crop is fine, and
in most localities does not seem to be
injured at all. The corn crop on up
lands is injured to some extent, but
even that, with the general rain, will
we hope not be as bad as is expected.
In spite of the drought, all the indica
tions now are that there will be a fair
average crop made in this County.
TURNIPS.
Now is the time to sow turnips, and
during the past week a great many
patches have been started. There will
be some fine patches in Hartwell from
present indications, and if every set
tlement in the County does as well as
slartwell, there will indeed be a tre
mendous crop in the County.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Owing to the slim attendance in town
■on last Salesday, there was no meeting
of the Society held. Tickets for trans
portation to the State Agricultural Con
vention to meet in Jonesboro on yes
terday were given out to the regular
delegates. We do hope those receiv
ing tickets with free transportation will
attend the Conventions, or when they
cannot go, make it their business to
see that some of their neighbors or
friends go. It is a shame that we can
not get delegates from our County to
attend these Conventions. Last spring
there was no representative from this
County, and we hope it will not be so
this fall.
EXCHANGES.
During the past week we have re
ceived the following exchanges:
Tin*: Southern Farmers’ Monthly,
published by Estill & Cos., of Savannah.
It is chock full of interesting matter
for the farmer, and we earnestly beg
that some of our farmers will subscribe
i\ji It. There is (m intcroatlng artiolo
in it on alfalfa or lucerne, which we
think is by far the most suitable and
productive clover for this County ; also,
one on sheep raising, which is very
good, and applicable to the farmers of
this County.
The CultivATOuTor Au
gust, published in Athens, for $1.60 a
year, by W. L. Jones. This journal
is right close to home, and several years
ago liad a large circulation in our
County, but we are afraid has fallen off
very much in the last few years. It is
fully up to its excellence of old times,
and we hope to see it in the hands of
more of our people.
The American Agriculturist for
August, published by Orange, Judd &
Cos., of New York, is full of useful
information for the farmer. Frequent
ly in the operations of the farm, the
tanner in these books finds one recipe
or remedy that repays him the price of
subscription fourfold. This journal is
full of pictures and interesting matter.
Only $1.50 a year.
G leanings in Bee Cult i re, pub
lished monthly at Medina, Ohio, by A.
1. Root, at SI.OO a year. This is a
large journal, devoted entirely to the
raising and management of bees, and
to the farmer who has the care of bees,
we do not see how he could get along
without this book. It gives you the
best plan for hives; the best way to
attend to j’our bees so as make the
most honey; in fact, everything con
nected with the raising of bees so as
to make it profitable.
Mr. Editor: I have been thinking
and speaking of spaying a cow for my
own use, but did not attend to it until
Monday morning June 16th, with an
eye to the adoption of the stock law.
Process: I tied a strong rope around
both hind legs and one around the right
fore leg, and with the help of two
hands laid her on her right side. Tied
her hind legs to one place and stretch
ed her so she could not struggle, and
tied her fore legs to another place. A
hand held her head down, while with a
pocket knife I made an incision be
tween the hip-bone and the first rib,
about four inches long. I inserted my
hand, found the uterus, then the left
ovary and cut it otf. 1 then found the
one on the right side of the uterus,
but could not get it near enough to cut
so I tore it otf. With the small blade
of my knife I made holes through the
skin about half an inch from the edge
of the incision, and with a bagging
needle and a strong cord I sewed clean
through the flesh and closed the wound
with three stitches and applied tar to
keep the flies off. I kept her in the
lot four days. The first day she ap
peared sick and was very puny; ate
and drank very little. Second day she
was better and hail better appetite.
Third day still better, appetite much
improved ; my wife milked and got a
tolerable quantity. Fourth day she
ate six bundles of oats, drank five or
six gallons of water and gave about
two gallons of milk. The next day I
turned her out, and she is now well and
doing finely. This is the 23d day.
My wife has milked her twice every
day since the second day, and gave the
milk to the hogs until the cow was per
fectly well.
Should any one wish to try their
luck, if they are not pretty resolute
they had better not begin.

would operate in the right side.
W. T. O. C.
Mb. Editor: I was at my friend’s,
Isaac D. Glocr, of Elbert, a few days
ago. He asked me out to look at his
bees. He has a good shelter for them ;
has no bench to set them on, but has
his hives hung up. Has a floor in the
bottom of his stands. They arc unlike
any that I have seen ; have two apart
ments. The upper has two drawers or
boxes with glass in them, and a door
opposite to open, and 3’ou can see the
bees and the comb. It looks nice, and
is, too, for I had the pleasure of trying
some of it. I think that some of the
bee men might profit by examining
his hives. Mr. Glocr says he lias not
been pestered with bee worms since he
adopted that style of stands.

Recipes.
From Southern Farmer *' Monthly.
lii cases of ivy poisoning, bathe the
parts with sweet spirits niter.
Rub sprains, bruises or lameness
witli a paste made of salt and the white
of an egg.
For burns, bind on moistened baking
soda. It will cive prompt and perma
nent relief.
To restore elasticity of rubber
springs, bands, etc., place the rubber
bands or springs in hot water.
Marion Harland vouches for the fol
lowing recipe for making hard soap :
Take six pounds of washing soda and
three pounds of unslacked lime, l’our
on four gallons of boiling water. Let
it stand until perfectly clear, then drain
off. Fut in six pounds of clean fat.
Boil until it begins to harden—about
two hours—stirring most of the time.
While boiling, thin with two gallons of
cold water whicli has been poured on
the alkaline mixture after drawing off
the four gallons. This must also settle
clear before it is drawn off. Add it
when there is danger of the soap boil
ing over. Try the thickness by cooling
a little on a plate. Fut in a handful
of salt just before taking from the lire.
Wet a tub to prevent sticking and turn
in the soap, and let it stand until solid.
Cut into bars ; put on a board and let
it dry. This will make about forty
pounds of good soap. It ought to be
dried out for two or three months pre
vious to using.
A Source of Mut-li llo.Mly Evil.
If the habit of body becomes irregular,
much evil is inflicted on the system. The
stomach becomes dyspeptic, bilious symp
toms develop tjiemselvcs, tho circulation is
contaminated, and the nerves share in the
general disorder. It is of the utmost im
portance that the bowels should he thor
oughly and speedily regulated when they
grow derelict. The corrective agent best
adapted to the purpose is llostettcr’s
Stomach Bitters, a wholesome, non-griping
vegetable laxative, worth all the rasping
cathartics invented since the time of Para
celsus. People who have been in the habit
of using blue pills, calomel, and other
drugs and cheap nostrums for constipation,
should abandon such hurtful and useless
medicines, and substitute for them this
pleasant and gentle aparient, which not
only produces the purgative effect natural
ly, hut also strengthens while it regulates
the bowels, stomach and liver. It more
over cures and prevents intermittent and
remittent fevers, gout, rheumatism, debil
ity and urinary troubles.

REMARKABLE CURE of SCROFULA, Ac
CASK OF COL. J. C. BRANSON.
Kingston, Oa., September 15, 1871.
Gknth : For sixteen years I nave been a great auf
ferer from Scrofula in ita most distressing forms. 1
bsvo been confined to my room and l>d for fifteen
years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most ap
proved remedies for such eases Inal been used, and
the most eminent physicians consulted, without any
derided benefit. Thus prostrated, distressed, de
sponding, wns advised by Dr. Ayer of Floyd county,
Ga., to commence the use of your Conqiound Ex
tract Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de
scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stil
lingia as it is to convey an aduquato idea of the in
tensity of my suffering before using your medicine;
sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and
continued the use of vour Extract of Stillingia, un
til I can say truly, “ I am cured of ull pain,” of all
disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit
of my profession. More than eight months have
elapsed since this remarkable care, without any re
turn of the disease.
For tins truth of the above, statement, I refer to
any gentleman in llartow County, Ga, and to the
member* of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, Your otedient servant,
J. C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law.
A MIRACLE.
West Point, Ga., Sept. 16, 1870.
Gknth: My daughter was taken on the 25th day
of June, 1863, with what wa- supposed to lx* Acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no
success. In March, follow ing, pieces of hone began
to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap
pear till the bone from the elbow to tab shoulder
Joint came out. Many pieces of bone chine out of
the right foot and leg. The case was then pronounc
ed one of White Swelling. After having been con
fined about six years to her bed, and the case con
sidered hopeless, 1 was induced to try Dr. Pembei
ton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so
well satisfied with its effects that 1 have continued
the use of it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over without
help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her
time—has walked across the room. Her general
health is now good, and I believe she will, as her
limbs gain slrentb, walk well. I attribute her re
covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your
invaluable medicine. W. B. BLANTON.
