*-w Agriculliiriil Department 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. Wm. T. O. Cook. I*. S. —If I were to operate again, I 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. Wm. T. O. Cook. 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. LITTLE SPEEDY CORN SHELLER! IT IS HIGHLY ENDORSED By Gen.

Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Syphilis, Cancer, Ulcers and Sores, that route from all parts of the country, are not only remarkable but ao miraculous ua to be doubted w aa it not for the abundance of proof. 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. West Point, Ga., Sept. 16, 1870. Gents: The above certificate of Mr. W. B. Blan ton we know and certify as being true. The thing is so ; hundreds of the most respected citizens certi fy to it. As much reference can be given as may be required. Yours truly, CRAWFORD & WALKER, Druggists. HON. H. D. WILLIAMS. I>r.
