causßßey must be got in during the
the year when the rail
roads are taxed to their utmost
capacity in carrying the cotton crop to
market. It will be found, that at a
terminal point and railroad centre lik e
Atlanta, sufficient seed cannot bo ob
tained to keep a mill worth attention,
in constant operation. The experi
ment is now being tried there,
ousting from three to five
bushel more than the mills at
Yew GHeans and Montgomery have to
pay. It must end a failure.
Two full sets of operatives are kept
employeAat these mills, a night crew
and a daWrew, and they run from Sun
day night at 12 until Saturday night at
the sameAour. Steam is the principle
agent in the production of cotton seed
oil and cake, and every cooking down
of the works entails a lop, hence
the necessity for a double crew of
hands. TlAfcars operations commence
or j ust so soon thereatW
as to start on can be ob
tained, and a supply sufficient to keep
the mill in operation until July Ist is
the aim and desire of the managers. As
£as the stock of seed is marked up

step in process of extacting oil fronuW
seed is'to run them through the picker**
while it remotes from them every parti
cle of lint left on them by the gin. This
lint is sold to factories for the ma au
facture of batting and wadding and com
mantis in the market about i less than
the regular staple From the picker
the seed pass into the huller, which tak
es off the outer shell. This shell is
burnt in the furnace to make steam,and
serves in place of fuel, and the ashes
are sold for fertilizing purposes, The
pulp is then put in a tank and steamed,
whence it goes to the presses, which
extract the oil from the cake. The crude
oil is put in barrels and sold in that
state, or sent to the refinery, while the
cake is compressed into sacks w eigh
ing about two hundred lbs each, and I
is mostly sold in Europe for stock food. ]
A few years ago it was sold for >520 per j
ton of 2 000 lbs.
I know not what price it commands
at the present time, A meal is also
made by drying the cake and then grind
iug it, which is also sold for stock food.
Every part of the seed is utilized, and
made to bring some return to the manu
facturer. It is a business that makes
money fast or loses it equally as fast,
and cannot be made to pay, ip in
land towns. If a mill were star .ed in
Barnesville w hich could be assured of
all the seed grown in five or six sur
rounding counties, they would not be
sufficient to keep it running on a pay
ing schedule two months in the year,
and even then, the product of mills ini
me use favorable localities could be sold
at a profit, for much less than its c pUf
prietors could affoidto.take.
1 have not drawn on fancy for these
facts. 1 received them some few years
ago from a friend, who was then a
large shareholder in and the manager
of one of the most prosperous mills in
the South, and 1 make them public in
the hope thatthey may prevent some

Change of Servants.
The housekeepers ’of Southern cities
and towns are finding it more and more
difficult every year to provide themselv
es with cooks and house servants from
the colored population'. There is grad
ually coming over the colored
women, especially of this sec
tion, a determination to abandon the
j-'ook kitchen of the white family. Many
of the old and experienced cooks Lave
retired, and many who are now
serving in this capacity sre looking for
ward to an early day when they will
have a mansion of their own, and be
their own mistress. J*av, if not all
had rather live inWffiiu with half
enough to eat and wear, and “be free,”
than serve a family as a’cook, and plen
ty. Wby this is the case we will no f\
stop to consider. It is simply a fact as
any moderate observer has seen. The
seeing this tendency on
the colored cooks have begun
to appreciate the situation and are pro
viding themselves with white laborers
in this field. There are already four fain
ilies in Barnesvilie. who have engaged
white women as cooks and servants and
they are very well pleased with the
change. It would, seem the martof
prudence on the part of any famHHH
■jo to prepare for such a [

To the Boys of the Prohibition Club.
You have asked me t* read something
for you on this beautiful Sabbath even
ing and as your cause is one that has
lain near my heart, for many a long
year, I appreciate the honor, and if one
word I may speak, can avail anything
in this great work, that word shall be
most cheerfully and willingly spoken.
Under the influence of these noble
ladies Mrs. Keyes and Mrs. J. C. Bla
lock, you have taken a wise step, and
soldierlike have bravely opened battle
on a terrible evil that has slain not on
ly hundreds but thousands in this beauti
ful land of ours.
Do you remember the ancient story of
the Hydra headed monster? It was so
hideous in appearance and character
and committed so many deeds of voi-
lence that Hercules, the strongest man
then living seized and beheaded the vile
creature. When the head was cut off
it grew back again every time, until
Hercules seared with a red hot iron, the
bloody neck and it grew no more. In
temperance is the Hydra-headed mons
ter, that destroys and devours the inte- !
lect, tlia property, the physical stren
gth, and not only the whole body, but
the very souZ of its victims!
Total abstinence from all intoxicating
drinks, is the only sword that can cut
off the head of this vicious monster,
and Prohibitory Law will scar with an
irmi will the bleeding neck and prevent
itf ever growing out again.
Our noble boys must buckle on the

women. So you see what there is to
contend with, but never fear, God is on
vonr side, and the good word is bound
to spread until the bright Millenium
sheds its glorious bright all over the
world.
Bach of us here today can do some
thing towards making thit grand work
a success.
It could be contrary to all teachings
of Scripture to study selfishly onr non
comfort and welfare, to wrap ourselves
in a mantle of safety without one e;ue
; for the well being of our fellow crea
j tures. and to go on from day to day,
| seeking our own interes as a great ma
j ay do, without puttisg forth active
hands to grapple with, and arrest all
the evils that daily beset onr journey
in life. What reward can we expect in
the life to come, if we are content to
fold our hands in ease, and refuse to do
battle against wrong? 1 cannot under
stand wiiat kind of religion it is that is
unwilling to remove all evil from its
community, weeps no tear over anoth
ers woe, that feels no sorrow for a soul
launched upon the sea of eternal ruin,
and that comes not with a word f en
couragement to cheer and strengthen
one who has resolved to take tke pledge,
begin anew life, and oyer come the
tempter. There are many whose an
swer is, “tuey do not drink themselves,
and see no necessity in trying to pre
vent others from from it.’’ Their mot
to is, “let body do as they please,
drink as they please, curse as they
please, smoke and chew as they please
why should I care-’’
Is that the spirit of Christ? St. Paul
on whom the spirit of Christ decended
said, “Wliererore if meat causeth my
brother to offend then will I eat no flesh
while the world stondeth, lest I make
my brother to offend,” What a noble
example. To obstain from that which
though it be no evil to us, might cause
our brother to fall I I would give up my
right hand, if by so doing I might save
mo boys from a fate wojse than death:
And it is love, boundless love, that must
arouse us us to this mighty work of
reform, love of God, our fellow
creatures, love for our country, and
love for all that is pure, holy and elevat
ing.

for the Household.
sister Peggy's letters are always wel
come to the Household, and by no one
are they more appreciated than by 1 . 1).
S., who is sorry she is in trouble about
coffee and bread.
As to the making of collee, 1 can leat
tlie world, and it affords me pleasure to
give her my formula, and as I do not
claim a patent right to it, I make it
known for the benefit of the whole sis
terhood. As to the material: if you can
get a good, pure article from your gro
cer, already roasted, it is as good as any
but I would prefer buying the raw ar
ticle and roasting it at home. You can
net tell whether it is a good article or a
poor cue when you buy it roasted, until
yon try it. Roasting coffee properly re
quires great care and patience. It
should be done slowly,andwith a uniform
heat and constant stirring, to prevent
scorching or burning. When “done,”it
should be a deep brown color, (not black
as a eoal) and when it gets so it will
run through the mill and pulverize
easily by an effort requiring some labor
in grinding, it is done. Have your pot
clean. Bo not let it stand from morn
ing until evening, or from evening un-J
til morning, with cold coffee ami]
grounds in it, and expect to make aj
palatable drink by adding fresh groundr'
and hot water to such a mess, but scainL
it out at least once a day, pouring off
the old liquid into some other vessel if
it is good cUkE strong and clear, but
if not
pot clean and sweet, put in your ground
coffee in sufficient quantity to make
enough for t%3 family; (and when
ready for the table it should be of a rich
amber color). Then, pour in boiling
water and set the pot on the
stove or on coals until it boils. As
soon as it reaches tlie boiling point, re
move the pot from the lire, and instant
ly pour in a tea cup of cold water, which
will settle it by precipitating all ||e
grounds to the bottom. Java, Mocha,
or even the first quality oi#R#>
in this way, will make a drink fit f M
the Gods. But there is also somethilg
more neededlto make your coffee en
joyable. Thasugar and cream (if you
have cream, ir not milk) should be first
put in the cup and stirred well together
before pouring in the coffee, and tlie
stirring should be continued while filling
the cup with the bevirage. It is all im
portant,too, that the housewife should be
in a good humor while dishing out cof
fee to make the drinking of it enjoyable
by the “man of the house. ’’ A frown at
the table, destroys the taste of any kind
of food or drink, however well prepar
ed. A smile, on the face of mater-fam
ilias at meal time, makes cffee sweet if
there is no sugar in the house. JBfeel
assured that sister Peggy is
cient in smiles, but if she unfortunately
is addicted to showing just a little temper
at table, I hope she will try my formula
both for making coffee and serving it
urnand I’ll insure her against fault
fiiumig, unfcssher husband is a “bear,”
in wliiqji case I would advise her t
jjp r e him a dose of hot coffee on the out
side instead of inside, if she cannot cure
him any other way.
As to making liglit-bread, that is in a
great measure a lost art. Peggy must
remind her hnsbaudftliat his mother
had no such difficulties to contend will)
as she has, She doubtless had a cook of
tlie African persuasion, raised up and
instructed in the culinary art by s
mother’s mother, and when she married
doubtless accompanied “young miss” to
her husband’s home, to preside over the
kitchen kingdom, and reign supreme
among its pots and pans. The making
of yeast imthose good old days was a
3<*cret of importance, which
“ma’am Dinah” did not communicate
to every one, and the kneading
and baking was not continually inter
rupted by the thousand and one annoy
ances to which the Southern housewife
is subject in this day. “Poor folks must
lltvep^uways,’ ’ or in other words,
to what poverty entails,
flud make the best of what is within
their means. ljYr a husband to expect
his come up to the old
time stand ard in cooking, (light bread
included) is about as unreasonable as
the Egyptians requiring the Israelites to
make brick without straw. Good bis
cuit, or egg bread, is good enough for
any poor man to eat, whose wife has to
do the cooking besides attending to oth
er household duties, and Peggy’s hus
band’s “inn,” would tell him so, if she
were in life. But, so much of Peggy’s
last as referred to coffee and bread,
was directed to “Talker,” and here I
have keen wasting time and paper in
“Talker’s” stead. I hope I havn’t in
truded or been “out of order” in doing
but if the chair rules that I am not
entitled to the floor, I’ll withdraw the
bread part of my motion, or opinion, or
whatever you may call it, and in
sist on a hearing on the coffee question
-to the bitter eiui, as I know* that it is
right and will do good if my directions
are followed to the letter.
And sister Peggy wishes to
know what I. I). S. thinks of
silk culture, if he is not “too political to
be practical.” Ahem! well I. D. S.
will kinmv inform sister Peggy that he
is entirely too practical to ever take pol
itics inside his own household, much
less the Gazette. He does not deal
much in the article no way; only so
much as his duties as a private cit
izen seem to require, and then it is out
side of his own imine.lt has been the rule
of his life, te leave both politics and bus
mess at the door of his home, along
with the dirt on his shoes, which has
its appropriate on the foot-mat.
Silk culture—well —“lemme see” —
what does I. D. S. think about silk cul
ture? that’s the question propounded.
It’s rather a hard question I’ll admit,
Now. if you h|L asked me what I
thought about com, or cotton, or potato
culture, I could have toM you in a mo
ment, hut you se silk is not indigenous,
this climate, andldon’tknow wheth
er it would grow well in the open air on
our hill sides or not. The fact is, to he
honest, I have never thought much about
! “silk culture,” but 1 can think about it
and—well, 1 have been thinking about
it t and I am thinking about it now, but
lam not so well prepared to give in
structions about its culture as I am
about making coffee. I “think” how
ever, if you could get the right kind of
seed, and knew that you could get it
properly ginned and prepared for mar
ket, the experiment of its “culture’’
would be worth trying. It would bring
more per pound than cotton, and would
not have to be as large bales,
nor cost as much for transportation to
the factory. Appleton’s Encyclopedia
