subjects, of secular nature,
should engage a greater share of
. intelligent thought and effort,
J. Kldridge, | than those we pro|>ose to briefly
: county exhibits, stock and
cattle raising, and u diversified ag
riculture. • County fairs are edu
cating; they stimulate generous
rivalries; they cultivate social and
friendly intercourse; they advertise
the splendid resources of the coun
ties in our State; and if these are
uuited in oue (fraud exhibit at our
State fairs, or*other State exposi
tions, they would astonish tho ua*
lion with the vastueas of Georgia'
resources. County fairs would
lead to au improvement iu stock
and cattle raising, to the cultivation
of grasses and to a diversitied agri
culture.
Slock and cattle raising, to the
extent of supplying the.homo de
maud, has been too long neglected
in the South. The visitor to
State is filled with wonder, that
our peopie.contiuue to give such
due prominence to the cuitivatiou
of cotton, a crop rarely remunera
tive, always vexatious, and which
has done so much to run down
laud, when it is kuown that grass
culture and stock raising are more
profitable, less laborious and which
iriches the soil.
1 do not wish to he understood as
advocating the discontinuance of
cotton culture. We love it because
it is our peculiar crop. We love it
because of its value and its itnpor
lance in furnishing the cheapest
aud best light fabric with which to
clothe the world. Hut we do advo
cate a system of diversified agricul
ture, \ system which will cause u*
to raise or produce In Georgia,
every article which we cousume.
There is neither reason iu.ornec
essity for, our im|M>rtlng iuto Geor
gia, oue pound of beef, bacon, lard,
butter or cheese, a pound of hay or
a single horse or mule. All of these
be profitably raised iu Georgia,
me crop is either wise or profit
able. To uae a homely but express
ive old saying, "it is not best to put
eggs iu the same basket."
In reaching a reasonable and just
conclusion as fo whether or not
stock and cattle raising would be
profitable iu Georgia, it will bo well
to consider,
sur soil adapted to such
products as will furnish cheap and
wholesome food, and is our climate
such as is favorable to the bust-
a comparison of our resources with
theirs, and to aay that In alKblnga
’essential to successful farmiug, we
have greatly the advantage.
A comparison In the price of
lauds in the two States rove is lbs
fact that Ohio lands cost from $f>0 to
$200 per sore,while lands equally as
good in Georgia, aud adapted to a
greater variety of crops, cau be
bought at prices ranging from $5 to
$50 per acre. Taking one year #
another for a series of ten years,
lauds will produce more grass, clo
ver and lucerne than the high
priced lands of Ohio. In tiie pro
ducts of tiie t j.o states, the advan
tages are equally as much iu our
favor, for the results per acre are as
satisfactory to us iu all the crops
which they produce, with the added
advantage whb h we itossess iu the
cultivation of several crops, such as
rice, sugar caue aud cotton, which
they caunot produce. Iu the bkle
of farm products, the prices ob
tained are greatly iu our favor. To
demonstrate this it will only be
uecessary to quote Die prices ob
tained from the farmers witli whom
miugled, and the prices which
obtain iu Georgia for such products.

Do our towns and cities fur-
uish markets for the ready and
profitable sale of such stock and
cattle aud their natural accompani
ments?
There is, there can be no doubt
there subjects. The soil of
State is known to be specially
adapted to grass culture, the cheap-
J best food for young ani
mals. No Htate lu the Union can
produce a better record in the cul
tivated grasses, to say nothing of
wonderful Bermuda grass, that
renovator of worn lands, and which
has been the salvation of glorious
old Middle Georgia. The finest
Blue grass I ever saw was in a lot
owned byCaptalnJJohn A. Cobb, lu
Sumter county. As german to this
subject it will not be amiss to give
some observations obtained in a
visit to Ohio last faU with a num
ber of Georgia farmers and news
paper representatives. Ample op-
portunlty was sftorded us to exam
ine their resources, their mttbods,
lands, stock, labor and products,
ith the cost of each. From per
sonal observations, and eonveraa-
pound
Georgia lands sell at from 200 to
400 per cent, cheaper than Ohio
lauds, wiiile Georgia .'products sell
0 of from 25 to 125 per
ceut. bightr than Ohio products.
These figures speak for theinselv
Labor in Ohio is from 50 to 100 per
ceut. higher thau in Georgia. True,
it is more efficient, intelligent aud
reliable, hut with the same atten
tion given our labor, it would be
equally as efficient and reliable.
iu uatural resources, iu product
aud in prices obtained for products,
ast advantage, ami yet,
uuder their system, lu spite of high
priced lundf, heavy taxes, cost<y
labor and severe winters, the farm-
of Ohio succeed in the business
of stock aud cattle raising.
Is our climate suited to stock aud
cattle railing?
It is generally conceded that
the winter season is the
most trying of the year on
all young stock. In this particular,
our Htate is so situated it is not
found uecessary to house stock dur
ing the entire wiuter, except iu a
small part of the Htate, and there
only for a month or two. There is
really no necessity for any consid
erable expenditure of money, for
the protection of stock during the
entire year. A good shelter with
stalls to separate the auimals, to
preveut them from injuring each
other, keeping them well bedded
with straw or leaves to absorb-aud
accumulate manure, Is really all
that is ueeded for the protection of
cattle aud horses in any section of
ir Htate.
Our climate Is such as to euable
us to graze stock the entire year,
generally reduciug the cost of keep
ing them. The cultivated gras-es
be utilized for pasturage from
early spring uutil the oat and wheat
fields are "open." When these are
exhausted, the corn and pea fields,
from which these crops have been
gathered, are ready for use. These
will he found to last uutil the rye
and barley crops come in, which
will coutinue through the winter to
furnish healthful milk producing
food.
Thus, while our climate enables
us to reduce the cost of keeping
stock and cattle to the minimum,iu
all that section of the north of Vir
ginia, all stock require the closest
attention to tie fed on warmth giv
ing food, and to be housed in ex
pensive barns during several
months in the winter. As stock and
cattle raising would lead to diversi
fied agriculture, the cuitivatiou of
grasses, we propose to give briefly
some of the beuefits which would
surely follow.
Ight well be content to call
pools of the country; and the wages
they receive as such agents, la
barely sufficient to afford a meager
sustenance.
On whom rests tho responsibility
for this state of affairs?
A diversified agriculture would
enable us to defy trusts snd pools,
and to snap our Augers in
$he face of an unfrieudly
congress. Produolng all that Is re
quired for home consumption,
manufacturing our cotton into
cloth, our cotton seed into oil and
fertilizers, our iron ore Into iron
ready for use we will be little dis
turbed by trusts, pools, or com
bines. An effort to make our Htate
self-sustaiuiug, will insure our free
dom and independence.
The people In our cities and towns
are to-day being fed 011 beef, ship
ped several huudred miles without
knowing whither the beef is from
an infected herd, or whether the
animal died from disease, or under
the butcher’s knife. If our farmers
would resolve to supply the de
mands of our towns and cities for
such provisions as can be profitably
produced in Georgia, they would
enjoy a degree of prosperity never
before attained in theHouth.
The advantages of such a system
are manifold. Our soil would bo
enriched by tiie cultivation of tiie
grasses, by the accumulation of
manure aud by a rotation of crops.
The raisiug of cattle would lead to
bu ter and cheese making, p.otlta-
bie Industries, and which would
give employment to many who are
uusuited to occupations requiring
greater strength. These to tiie
manufacture of buckets for butter
and boxes for cheese, these to au

• glad to note that the coun

Talbot and others are moving iMho
matter of stock aud cattle raising,
and have held gratifying county
fairs this fail. Will not a large num
ber of counties prepare to follow
their example auother year? We
trust so; our patriotic love for the
Titate.our affection for our children,
to whom it must he our desire to

Wealth In th* Watermelon.
Every season develope moro and moro
fully the prevailing necessity for the dis
covery of some practical and profitable
use to which the avrptn melon crop
may be put Every melon left in the
field at tho end of the season, except for
seed, represents a waste. A means by
which this waste, which annually as
sumes enormous proportions, could be
averted would no donht bo hailed with
pleasure by ovsry melon grower in tho
country; therefore tho announcement
from tho Southland to tho effect that
such means has -been discovered, if au
thenticated, is an important one.
Tho now discovery, which consists of
converting tho melon bulb into sirup, it
is alleged, will establish in tho south an
industry scarcely of second importance
to that of producing oil from cotton
seed, and the product la vouched for as
being the very best ever yet made. If
the report proves true, and there seems
to be little or no reason for discrediting
it, Mississippi and Scott counties may,
with a little energy, convert that which
is now absolutely valueless into profits
running into the thousands.—Charleston

The janitor finally canght her and ob

harried up to the seventh floor, where

was not frightened, and he soon crushed
