Farm and Garden Notes.
A farm of 100 acres of good ara
ble land should keep at least six
work horses, twenty rnilk cows, and
twenty hogs.
Sheep to do well must have dry j apparently
floors and runs, and have plenty of
pure air, and should be protected
from the scare of dogs.
Professor Knapp, of Iowa, says
Mt. Sterling, K Y. May 15.—
Judge Richard Reid, of this city,
shot and killed himself just after
noon to day. Judge Reid entered
Judge Brock’s office and engaged
the latter in conversation. He com
plained shortly of a severe head
ache. Brock took him upstairs and
| smoothed down his bed for him?

Two hours elapsed before he had oc
casion to visit the room again. Dur
ing that time he had been out on
the street. When he reached the

scription: “Madlmad! Forgive me,

boy referred to is his stepson, to
draughts.
Less grain andmore grazing tend
to a better development of frame
and muscle than when corn is fed
to hogs exclusively. Build the
frame first and lay on the fat after
ward.
Farmers should keep carefnl ac
counts—measure and record the
acres of their fields—find out what
crops and modes for cultivating
them pay best, and not operate in
the darkness of guessing.
It is not right to milk slowly. It
exhausts both the patience of the
animal and the milker. Quickness
in milking and patience in stripping
will give the most milk and be
most satisfactory to the cow.
In ordering trees select the near
est reliable nursery. In that case
the trees will have been raised as
nearly as possible under the same
conditions of “soil and climate as
that into which they are to be
transplanted.
The authorities of the Iowa Ag
ricultural college make the follow
ing classifications of the relative
values of various foods as milk pro
ducers: Corn, per 100 pounds, 50
cents; oats, 60 cents; barley, fifty-
five cents; wheat, sixty five cents;
wheat bran, seventy cents; oil meal
$1. 45; clover hay eighty cents; tim
othy, fifty cents; potatoes, ten cents

who is now attending college at
Princeton, N. J. Without doubt
Judge Richard Reid has suffered
much of late. Besides his humilia
ting trouble with Corneilson was
added the strain and the uncertain-
ity of his canvass. He was a candi
date for Judge of the Court of Ap
peals. The illness of his wife and^the
uncertainty of his snccess in carry
ing his own county in the Appellate
Convention bore heavily against
him until his mental anxiety was at
such tension that it was greater
than he could stand. He gave way
under the superhuman burden. No
one doubts but that he was tempo-
rarsly deranged when he com
mitted the awful act of self-murder
“Some day in the hence I hope

The sixth district of Coweta
county is famous for the longevity
of its citizens. Since the close of the
late war thirty-seven white persons
residents of the district, have died
who had reached the ripe old age
of sixty-five years. Of this number
one was well into the ninety-sixth
year, two were over ninety, thirteen
had passed the eightieth mile post
on the road that leads to “dusty
death,’’fourteen saw the figures on
the seventieth post and seven fell
between the sixty-fifth and seven
tieth post. Fifteen are still living
who are sixty-five years old five
males, vis: S. J. Shropshire. G. O.
Wynn, Miles Jones, Pat Carmical,
and Colonel S. W. Hill. Ten of this
list are ladies but their names will
not be given as the world knows
it would be more pleasant to be
“cast into the sea with a millstone
tied to the neck” than to ta mper
with a woman's age.
A wise man ought to hope for the
best, be prepared for the worst, and
bear with equanimity whatever
may happen.
A Tale of Two Crutches*
A Well Known Citizen of At
lanta Lays Down his Crutches.
I have only a few words to say, which
are to state that I have been confined to
my bed for two months with what was
called Nervous Rheumatism, or Sciatica.
was only enabled to hobble about
occasionally by the use of crutches, and
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. 1 had previously used
all well recommended medicines without
relief. It has been over two months since
using B. B. B., and I co ns ider myself
a permanently cured man.
J. P. Davis,
Atlanta, Ga. West End.
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 returued
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 knows of my case.

SATURDAY NIGHT.
“I don’t see why you are so par
ticular about your hair,” said a chur
lish husband. “I don’t suppose Eve
ever wore hangs.” “I don’t sup
pose she did” replied his wife with
a quiet smile, “but then there was
nobody in the world hut her hus-
baud to admire.” The husband be

When the old court house in Wal
ton county was built a live frog was
placed in one of the corners (wiiich

placed all around him. It is said
that a frog will never die if served

old court house is torn aw T ay, if true
In proportion to population there

A Young man was going home
with two young ladies in Bath, Me
the other evening, and remarked
.casually in the course of the chat on
the way, that one of his weaknesses
was that he couldn’t say no. One
of the girls, seizing upon this cue
to his character, proposed to him
after the other had been left at her
door and was accepted.
“Wake up!” exclaimed Mrs. Mul
berry in a loud whisper, as she pun
ched the slumbering Mulberry in

other night; “wake up; I’m sure

said the drowsy Mulberry, turning
over on the other side. “Be just

Leaving home this morning for
the office we kissed our little four-

surprised us by saying: “I will. Be

A negro was recently seated on a

looking at the telegraph wires. A
gentleman passing said: “Watch

The hold which this beautifully illus
trated weekly retains upon the people's

the people to read them. It takes

ty of this family paper, said that “Wher
ever he found three trees growing there

over the land, in every town and every
illage, love their favorite paper, and
that their liking for it was deep rooted

and dying with the year.

CUT OF Oft-CEFL
THE SITIN'.
NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of The Sun
have gone out of our establishment
during the past twelve months.
If you were to paste cud to end all the
columns of all The Suns printed and sold
last year you would get a continuous
strip of interresting information, common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Printing
House square to the top of Mount Cop
ernicus in the moon, then back to Print-
ing House square, and then three-quarters ^
of the way back to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabit
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe
tweuty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father has spent another hour, this news
paper in 1883 has afforded the human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like
these that you can form any idea of the
circulation of the most popular of Ameri
can newspapers, or of its influeneeou the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world Yvithout waste of words and in the
most readable shape, which is Yverking
with all its heart for the cause of honest
govennent, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know the Sun, you like it al
ready, and you will read it Yvith accustom
ed dilligence and profit during Yvhat is
sure to be the most interesting year in its
history. If you do not yet know the Sun
it is high time to get in the sunshine.
