GOOD TIMES COMING.
A year or two ago Judge Jen¬
kins was invited to add reus tlw
people of Putnam county. It
was during the financial panic,
from the evil effects of which tin *
country is now on the road to re-
cuvery, and the Judge chose (or
his subject “Hard Times a Bles-
sing ” The subject seemed para-
doxieal, ’ nml the people were
how . the . speaker .
rious to see was
going to prove the assertion that
juird times were u good tiling for
t belli.
Judge h Jenkins took advantage
the big crowd that . anu , , i< ar
ot < o
SO HOV’< ■1 a subject discussed to
vise the people to practice
closest economy and to give t be
strictest attention to business.
It.- told them to make the farm
self sustaining. He did not pro-
tend to believe that there was an)'
immediate blessing in hard times,
but ... he was free , , to say Unit u ; f me 41 ,,.
financial stringency i ansi i . , n
people to spend less money and to
save expenses by raising that
which they could raise and which
for years they lmd been buying,
the future effect of hard times
would lie beneficial.
All over Georgia and other
Southern States this course bus
been followed in a very praiso-
worthy degree, and wo are begin¬
ning to see the good results.
Money has been and is still
scarce among the masses, but
many of those things that used to
be bought very extensively are now
raised at home. Thousands of
fanners who used to buy meat and
corn at credit [irices, and pay for
them in the fall with money from
cotton that was raised at a loss,
now have full smoke houses and
cribs, and they like the plan
\vi ■II that they are going to stick
to it. Country hams are on sale
in many of the grocery stores,
More attention has been given to
■hickeiis, -eggsj butter ami truck
in-the bust tivo years than perhaps
ever before, and a good deal of
niohey from them has paid for
(dresses and household articles,
(.kittb' and stock have reerived
more general and careful at ten-
tion, and fewer mules and horses
iiave been bought and more rais-
cd than fora long time.
The farm is becoming self sus¬
taining. The people are begin¬
ning to see their way out of their
difficulties. The practical bles¬
sings of hard times are beginning
to be realized.
If the jK'ople keep up this lick,
they will be prosperous and hap-
py m a few years. It beats legis-
Intion all hollow.
THE RIGHT KIND.
Mr. L. L. Patterson writes form
Round Oak to the Southern Culti¬
vator as follows:
“Wsiiri* a Northern people, who
tied from the cold of our own
dime, and this, our first winter
South, has not been exceedingly
elieouraging as to climate.
zen ink refuses to write picans to
the land of the hyacinth, even
thougli that brave little (lower
waited under the snow and sleet
to greet us on the first thaw. But
though the climate turned traitor
to all our hopes, the citizens did
as much as in them lay to atone
for it. Whether or not they hope
for th.* “angel unawares,” they
surely have not tailed to enter-
tarn strangers.
We are clearing up some neg-
l.vted land, held in fee by young
pines, green briars and Idaekber-
rios. We are merely camping in
a little three room house, built in
haste, and furnished with the bar
est necessities, Ull the experi¬
ment ot Northern farming on
t?‘orgia soil warrants the removal
of our home furnishings. But
orvbody conics to see us. and
on our unholstered nail kegs, or
our wooden settee eoin{)laeently
as though they were fine. And ;
they ask us to dinner oftener than j
we liud it possible ti) go. 'l hev are
willing to divide everything their last else fig bush
w ith us. and that
is divisible. ,
A ml her year wo may have a

Ulity, courtesy and neighborly had

These people had a good clou 1 to
forgive, and they have not only
forgiven, but learned to love t hose
they once thought their enemies;
and have adapted themselves to
jj |(> , )(}W <„*<[,, r of tilings with won-
dorful grace.
They know that cotton is no
longer king, and are willing to
8 :rve the new sovereign and learn
the new ways; and any Northern
fanner, who brings his trained
and his habit of thoughtful
toil, and his improved implements
of labor to bear . n these neglected
fields, will soon make for hi nisei t
a comfortable home, give anew
impetus to all farm interests welcome and
receive a right, ro.vnl
from the Georgia planter.”
Mr. Patterson seems to be just
the kind of Northern gentleman
Georgia likes to secure for a set¬
tler. It appears that he did not
come here to discuss tile negro
question as it relates to politics,
or to run public affairs according
to individual ideas, or to hunt up
unpleasant things to say about
i Georgia. I'nfortuuateJy that
seems to be the errand of u good
many people who come here from
the North, Mr. Patterson s pur-
J pose however, evidently is to at-
t<*nd to business and to get along
pleasantly, amicably and sensibly
| with his new neigh born and friend,
and we are quite confident that
lie will succeed not only iu that,
but. also in bis business. He
j could not have come to a better
i county. Jones lands are excellent
and farming operations in the
county, conducted on the proper
basis ure certain to prove reimi-
imralivc. The “Bimn-y.-rHoiith’'
w as not very largely in evidence
at nbmtt the time Mr. Patterson
but it is the current be-
lief that a severe winter makes the
following crop year tt good one.
Jones is glad to extend wel-
comes and courtesies to such new
citizens as Mr. Patterson.

IRISH POTATO GROWING.
What Cun lie ReKlizq«I by rittnting Them
on un Acre of I..*nil.
Jeff Welbora has tha following oa
Irish potatoes:
I havo found out that I can grow,
much feed upon an acre of early peas
i can of com or oats, and harvest the
crop ia time for a fall crop of Irish po-
tatoes, and that tho lau l will bo in tk >
finest condition for tho i potato crop
when the peas are taken o pin
crops of potatoes and one of peas oa thu
game land.) I have also solved tlw
problem of growiug in Jeld cuituro, u
niuch superior potato for tho • table or
* c oJ for spring garden to any that can
bo brought from the north, and this at
nominal co-st aa,l moro certain (if prop,
erly managjd) than a cotton crop. My
last crop, which was tho eigth crop in
four years, without change of sec-d, wav
finer than any previous crop, both iu
quality and quantity, yielding at tho
rate of 160 bushels per acre, without
manure or fertilizer of any kind, on
common hill land, that would iiotmako
over 1,000 pounds of seed cotton pa-
aero.
Now that wo can grow them much
cheaper than they can be grown in tha
aorta and of much better quality, and -
the demand at our doors. Why not?
We. do not need tho immense frost
proof bins. In fact, iu tho south the
fall crop is very littlo trouble. They
do not sweat and rot like the yam.
They will koep perfectly in a room
where the thermometer docs not run
befow 30 degrees above zero.
Anything that grows in the fall is
superior to the spring grown. The fad
Irish pototoes i.s as far superior to spiflVV ?^
potatoes as fall turnips ar# sup 1
grown
rior to spring turnips.
Our potatoes have increased in size,
quality and quantity per acre each s«a-
son since we commenced planting them
here. Seed from the fall crop planted
next spring will come on much earlier
than tha earliest and most northern
grown. While there will hot be so
many in numbers in the vine they will
be twice as large and far superior every
way.
The seed once obta' <d need never
be renewed, for the fa., growing im¬
proves them continually.
Tho pc-ai mentioned are the early
maturing variety planted a.tor tho
spring crop of Irish potatoes and taken
off in time for the fall crop.
To thoso who wish to adopt the val¬
uable suggestions of Mr. Welborn, we
give the following concise advice by
Mr. Massey, .of the North Carolina sta¬
tion, which has frequently appeared iu
more elaborate form in these reports:
1. Bed the soed in soil until planting
time. This gets rid of thoso too imma¬
ture to grow and which if planted
.would leave gaps iu the rows.
2. Plant about second week in Au-
gust, if possible, and use only those po¬
tatoes that are sprouted.
3. Plant iu a deep furrow, but toM\ cover
very lightly and pack the soil
seed.
4. Never cut the potatoes for the late
crop.
5. Gradually fill in the soil to the
plants as they grow and cultivate tho
crop perfectly flat.
THE SWINE PLAGUE.
Dr. Salmon T«lls of This Fatal DUeaaa
Among: tho Ilogf.
Dr. Salmon, tho chief of the bureau
of animal industry, has just issued a
bulletin on this subject which ou^ht to
be in the hands of every ho£ keeper,
and can be obtained on application to
the department of agriculture, Wash¬
ington, D. O. Dr. Salmon says that
whilst no absolutely certain cure can
be found for any disease, and certainly
not for hog cholera, yet that, as the re-
suit of a long series of experiments, the
following has been found to be a most
efficacious formula iu most cases of this
disease, and is valuable as a preventive:
lbs.
"Wood charcoal.......... 1
Sulphur.................. 1
Sodium chloride......... 2
Sodium bicarbonate..... ......2
Sodium hyposulphite.... 2
Sodium sulphate......... 1
Antimony sulphide...... ..1
Pulverize and thoroughly mix aid
give a large tablespoonful for each®*
pounds weight of hogs once a day. iW
on soft food, made of bran and ship-stuff
or bran and corn meal mixed in hot
water and stir in the proper quantity of
the medicine. Animals too sick to eat
should bo drenched with the medicine
mixed in water. Iu dreuching a bog,
never throw him on his back or ropo
him and fores him to take • the medi-
cine. The chances are that if you do
you will choke him. Pull out the side
of his cheek from his tooth and thus
make a pouch into which ponr the med¬
icine, and it will run into his mouth
and be swallowed, or take an old siv>
and cut off a small part of th* -
as to make a hole : hr *
iu his mouth. H« will geuecauj vi¬
olence to chow the shoe—then pour the
medicine into the shoe and it wdll And
its way slowly into tha mouth and be
swallowed. We have drenched hogs iu
this way when we could succeed ia a< ?
other way. Keep tha sick hogs dry,
warm and clean, or it is very little us6
giving medicine. . .
