VORACIOUS LITTLE ROBINS.
i Each lleqnlred Fourteen Xarcla of
tnalrii'ormv Everr Day.
A would be philanthropist relates his
experienct's trying to play mother to a
nest of little robins, which had by some
accident been deprived of their rightful
mother's care. He diligently set to
work digging angleworms, and sup
posed that he was fulfilling his whole
duty, when one of the poor little songs
ters died. Upon examination of the
body, which was reduced to skin and
bone, the foster parent came to the con
clusion that it must have died of starv
ation.
Deeply grieved at his shortcoming,
he redoubled his efforts, determined to
at least save the other two. It was not
long, however, before a second one died,
evidently of the same malady. The good
man then re.-olv.sl that, whatever the
third one died of, it should not be
starvation, and tiwik off his coat and
went to work in earnest. He kept on
with the angleworm diet until he found
that b.is one little bird was consuming
I from 14 to is yards of angleworms a
j day. This was t. . much for his pa
tienci and h<- proceeded to substitute
the more easily managed diet of bread
I and milk and uthi r delicacies, which
i were, however, nut nearly so much tc
i Miss Robin s taste.
Wanting to diseov- r whether he had
■ been catering to a family of abnormal
I appetites, our friend t - -k to watching
! the methods of a real mother bird and
I found that she fed her young every two
I minutes. He then consulted the learned
i books upon birds and discovered that
I 14 yards of worms a day, with meals
! every two minutes, is the average rate
| of feeding fledgelings. He has therefore
' decided that he does not care to take
I up raising birds by hand as a business,

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mr. r ditjr : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, 1 am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over <3,000 to
build, The land, in the first place, cost
me from <25 down to <4 per acre—saying
altogether, about <lO per acre, without
improvements; and to get rid of it, 1 will
average the whole place at <lO per acre,
in the following way : 1 will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at <lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 ti an' itbe-r, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
i the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In ther words, the number of lots anil
quantity of land to be put in a bat ■ r Ik.x,
and drawn out und r approval of a com
mittee cf gentlemen, at some stated time,
: so that all shall have a fiirehar.ee to get a
1 home at al.w ; : ice, 11;- ne has a
chance of losing their m trtcy, ■ r failing to
I get their value, a< ] an '. me get a
farm at far '. -ss than cost
The land is 12 miles fr m Macon, a city
j of some < r fiO/’t’U people, and is
i adapted t ■ ma:ket gardening, and for
’ northern pe pie who kn w huw to work,
i it offers a fine <•; p i-rtunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all t.>getber, and would make a fine
settlement,having the best of pictures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The laud is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know f, and lam satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale, on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
’ have concluded t > make the terms f pay
| ment in four annual payments without
I interest, which is tantamount to putting
j the price of the land very low. The
! titles to the lan : have been in the posses
sion d one <>r two parties for vears, and
have never lx cn qm-tioned and are as
