The celebrated Dickson’s ere.
pound is prepared, according to th
following formula:
Peruvian guano ..
Dissolved bones...
Common salt
Land Plaster
Weil mixed.
This compound has been exten
sively used by southern farmers,
and stands deservedly high in the
popular estimation.
The “Furman formula” is best set
forth in the'words of Mr. Furman
himself:
“To prepare the compost I select
a piece of ground convenient to my
lots so as to avoid unneccessary
hauling of my heavy manure, tak
ing care that it is not in a low spot
where water might collecUand sepe
the heap and having cleaned it
carefully, scatter fine stable manure
evenly over it, never allowing it to
be morethan three inchs thick,when
the mannre is well scattered. If
it is dry I sprinkle water over it,
and this is something that must by
no means be omitted. Water and
a plenty of it is a necessity in a
properly regulated compost heap,
where decomposition and chemical
reactions are valuable and essenti
al. Each layer, both manure and
cotton seed should be thoroughly
wetted as it is laid down, as other
wise one dry layer running through
your heap may give you cotton seed
that will come up and give great
trouble, especially if the crop is
planted with selected seed.
The compost heap should not be
built more than live teet high.—
Keep the edges as nearly perpen
dicular as possible, and finish it off
on the top with a covering of rich
top dirt from three to six inches
thick. The heap)should stand af
ter completion at least six weeks
before, using it, and if it could be so
arranged that at tiie end of six
weeks it could be cut per
pendicularly down, thoroughly and
allowed to stand a month longer,
it would improve the compost. I
make such quantities of it that I
have not time to do this, but as a
rule, the more compost is mixed
and manipulated the better it is.
Take twenty-five (25) bushels well
rotted stable manure or well rotted
organic matter, as leaves, muck or
rich top earth; scatter it about three
inches think upon a piece of ground
situated so that water will not stand
on it but shed off in every direction.
The twenty-five (25) bushels will
weigh‘d a bout 750 pounds; then
take 250 pounds of “Farish Fur
man’s formula,” or chemicals for
compost and scattter evenly on the
surface. Take next twenty-five
(25) bushels of green cotton seed
and distribute evenly on the sur
face and wet them thorough" they
will weigh 750 pounds. Take again
250 pounds “Farish Furman’s form
ula,” or chemicals for compost, and
spread over the seed. We now
have 2,000 pounds, or one ton. We
then go back to the stable manure,
or muck, or rich earth, and
pile up in this way as high as we
can go—keeping .above proportion
—then cover with six inches of rich
top eartlUfrom) fence corners, and
leave at least six weeks. When
ready to haul to the field, cut with
a spade or pick-ax, square down,
and mix as thoroughly as possible.
Now we have twenty-five (25) bush
els of manure, weighing 750 pounds,
and 250 pounds of “Farish Furman’s
formula,” or chemicals for compost
and twenty-five bushels of cotton
seed, weighing 750 pounds; then
put 250 pounds more of ‘Farish
Furman’s formula,” or chemicals
for compost, and we have the per
fect compost. You perceive the
weight is 2,000 pounds r value at cash
cost.

: imps set ove
! fall of any kind with spikes set to
run down through the “run” when
it fails, the trigger put in the “run”
so the mole will strike it,
is all that is neccessary. The “run”
must be covered over after the trig
ger is put in so as to exclude the
light, else the mole will pass
through.
2. Nothing that we know of; make
crib rat proof by setting on post
two feet above ground with pieces
of sheet iron two feet square on top
of each post; have a movable ladder
in place of steps and nothing being
against the crib or near enough to
it from which rats could jump to
the crib. We have one which has
been in use about two years and no
rat has ever been in it.

Crops for Hogs.
Please let me know the best food
per acre for fattening hogs; pota
toes, ground peas, or chufas, om
itting the last named, to which of
the oth w o do you give the pre
ference.—T. M. Bj» Union Springs,
Ala.
Answer.—It is better to have two
or more kinds of food for fattening
hogs. Not only the animals relish
variety, but the fact of relishing
shows that it is healthful promo
tive of growth and thrift. Sweet
potatoes and ground peas supple
ment each other handsomely; the
pea abounding in albuminoids (ni
trogenous compounds) and the po-
tatoe in starch an sugar (hydrocar
bon compounds.) Half an acre in
potatoes and the other half in
ground peas, would give better re
sults than a whole acre in either
one of them alone. Perhaps the
artichoke might be substituted for
the potatoe with advantage; it is
easier to raise and keep, abounds
also in hydrocarbons and is nearly
as nutritious as the potato. Of tin
three plants liameu by you, ii iorcou
tu select one only, we should take
ciiuia.—►Southern Cultivator.
A Well Known Citizen of At- |
t.axt.y Lays Down his Crutches. •
1 have only a few words to sat', which
are to state that 1 have been confined to
my bed for two months with what was |
called Nervous Rheumatism, or Sciatica, j
I was only enabled to hobble about j The
occasionally by the use of crutches, and j Litne.
in this condition I commenced the use of
B. B‘ B., four bottles of which enabled
me to discard the use of my crutches and
attend to business, i had previously used
all well recommended medicines without
relief. It has been over two months since
using B. B. B., and I eo ns ider myself

Frightful Nasal Catarrh.
PIECES OF BONE.
For four years I have been afflicted with
a very troublesome catarrh of the head
So terrible has its nature been that when
I blew my nose small pieces of bones
would frequently come out of my mouth
and nose. The discharge was copious and
at times exceedingly offensive. My blood
became so impure that my general* health
was greatly impaired, with poor appetite
and worse digestion
Numerous medicines were used without
relief, until I began the use of B. B. B.,
and three bottles acted almost like magic.
Since their use not a symptom has returned
and I feel in every way quite restored to
health. I am an old citizen of Atlanta, and
refer to almost any one living on Butler
street, and more particularly to Dr. L, M,
Gillam, who kuows of my case.

SATURDAY NIGHT.
IMMENSELY POPULAR!
The Leading Family Paper
in the United State.
A poultry farm of 0,000 Plymouth
Rocks is owned and carried on by
A. U. Hawkins at Lancaster, Mass.,
says the Boston Cultivator. He
calculates to have about 8,000 fowls
every fall, and carries over about
2,500 hens laying through winter.
His farm contains twenty-five acres
and his poultry building occupy
an acre and a half. They are situa
ted on the slope of a hill and com
prises six or fjeven sheds 200 feet
in length. Each shed is divided
into apartments of 12x2o feet, and
about twenty-five hens are kept in
each division. A yard is made in
front of each apartment, so that the
members of each are by themselves.
25 bushel 4
A receipt for whitewash to use on
farm fences, one that,will not wash
off easily by rains: Slake eighteen
pounds of quicklime with boiling
water, using enough water to keep
it covered; add one and a half
pounds of white vitriol (sulphate
of zinc) and one pound of alum;
keep stirring until it is well slaked
and has the consistency of cream
Dilute with warm water
to consistency desired
and apply at once. The
addition of skimmed milk or rice
water to ordinary whitewash will
also make it stick better.
The hold which this beautifully illus
trated weekly retains upon the people's
confidence seems astonishing, but it is
due entirely to the real worth of its va
ried contents. The value of its stories is
not measured by the enormous sum of
money they eost, but by tlie eagerness of
the people to read them. It takes
Ten Tons of Paper Every Week to Print it
That is over 20,000 pounds. And ten
times twenty thousand persons anxionsly

The advance agent of one of the best
patronized traveling shows in America,
in speaking of the wide-spread populari
ty of this family paper, said that “Wher

lie meant to say that all the people, all
over the land, in every town and every
village, love their favorite paper, and

porary, changing as the seasons change,

of the way back to the moon again. |

facts no matter how much tlie process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without wasto of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for tlie cause of honest

that the Republican party must go, and
go in this coming year of our Lord, 18S4.
