John L. Smith writes to the lowa
Homestead that he h.u a sow that,
in June, 1888' dropped 11 pigs; in
November of that year she bail I I;
in May, 1884, she gave birth to 10;
and in October last 14 more were
added to her family, making a to
tal of 55 pigs in less than sixteen
months-Of these pigs 42 were raised
There can hardly be Joo many such
in jowa. at present.
A farmer inOhio, being short of
feed, stripped the blades from his
sorghum and fed them to bis I‘s
Jersey cows. Before night every one
of these cows was dead. No other
cows on the farm roeived any oi
the sorghum and none but the Jer
seys suffered. Naturally this farm
er believes the sorghum was the
cause of the disaster. But thou
sands of farmers have fed sorghum
liberally and regularly to cows,
without experiencing any ill effects,
but, on the contrary, with satisfac
tory results.
The agricultural journals are very
numerously denouncing the fairs
of this season for the gambling, ex
cessive drinking and various other
immoralities which are alleged to
have been encouraged by thennmag
era of these institutions. As an agri
cultural fair of the typical kind is
run fotr the purpose of making mon
eV and as the managers arc not sup
posed to possess any more exulted
virtue.than the farmers who pat
ronize the shows it is hardly fair to
pile all the blame upon them and
leave tbe^jj,.patrons unrebuked.
Exporting apples to European
markets is now being largely cur
ried on by farmers in Columbia
Greene, Ulster, Dutchess and other
Hudson River counties. The ship
ments were formerly made by spec
ulators, but this fall the farmers
are doing most of the speculating
themselves. The fanners say they
can clear from $8 to $6 per barrel
on choice fruits. Newton pippins,
Baldwins and Northern spys are the
principal varieties shipped. “Big
money" has been made t hese thir
ty or forty years past, by exporting
applesfrom Eastern New York.
How common it in fur the sons of
wealthy farmeraespecially to leave
the old heftneas soon as they imag
ine themselves prepared for busi
ness,to'ent theeatolia’ as Slinksjtca
re 3iiys and repair to sonic profess
ion in city,there to cultivate new
lives and new habits, and to stand
ninety five chances in an hundred
of failing at Inst. Of course the me
chanical mercantile and profession
ai classes are largely recruited from
the farms, ami wc do not say that
all youngsters born on the globe
should remain husbandmen, but we
do say that aversion to manual la
bor which is becoming characteris
tic of our couiffryinen, is a bad sign
and betokens a rapid decline of pub
lic virtue.
The prospect for high prices for
wheat is confessedly dull. Within a
few years tho wheat-growing area
of tho earth’s surface has been im
mensely increased,notably in Brit
ish India and our own North-west,
while in the Russian Possessions
the supply is importantly augnu n
ted.The crops of FhmeoEhgliiiid,(kr
have also been fair these two years
last past, so that upon the
whole, the fa reign demand for
wheat lias lesGcnd, while
our annual acreage has not dimin
ished' The consequence of all these
tendencies is to bring down Ameri
can grown wheat to the lowest rates
known, at least within twenty-five
years.
From experience in older countries
and from present indications ill our
own country it is evident that the
culture of timber for fuel only will
be profitable, leaving out of ques
tion its production for mechanical
pqrposes. In European countries
timber for fuel bears a high price,
and the French Government sells
the tri-vcurly cuttings of tho Nor
mandy Poplar for a large sum of mo
nov. tho retail price of the. wood
cut into short billots being a third
of a cent a pound, or equal to sl7 a
cord. Firewood is sold in largo
American cities at as much as this,
and is brought hundreds f miles.
The advancing value of lumber
also gives every reason to encour
age the production of timber of all
kinds,and in planting trees one can
scarcely gowrong in choosing kinds
because every kind of wood will, be
salable. Tho varieties that grow
most quickly, as willow, poplar,
nnd maple, may be more profitable
than those of slower growth, al
though these may be of more val
ue for use, as a quick penny may
be worth more than a slow dollar.
Country Homes,
In reading the agricultural de
partment of the Gazette, andj
thinking over what our country j
homes were thirty years ago, as!
compared with what they are to-day
1 feel quite sad. Ordinarily the
country homes of America are the
abodes of simple virtue, of honest
work, of untiring diligence, of pa
tient,pem.'vcring labor, and of more
real success than the world knows.
Ordinarily, plenty reigns inathous
and country homes, where she
dwells in a hundred city- house
holds. The labor of the farm is
hard, but so is all labor, either of
head or the hand. The rewards of
intelligent labor arc sure. This
was clearly demonstrated twenty
five and thirty years ago, when men
confined their determinations to
the life of a farmer, and studied to
make the farm a success. For the
past twenty years intelligence has
been greatly held to the farm, by
necessity till an easier birth could
be obtained. Notwithstanding the
gloomy outlook, just now, the far
mer has no more and perhaps not
so much as other men to discour
age him.
Not one in one-thousand farm
ers, becomes bankrupt, while nine
ty-seven in one-hundred merchants
fail of success. 1 rend in the pap
ers of failures in trade and manu
factures, by the hundreds every
week through thu year round. Then
the life of the farmer is by far more
satisfactory. The glittering bau
bles of great wealth and official po
sition cause the great crimes of op
pression, extortion, thieving and
gigantic lying now practiced by cor
porations, politicians and trusted
financial agents.
Farming is the basis of all pros
perity. It certainly pays the world
as all mankind would perish, but
for our calling. If it does not pay
the individual it must be the fault
of the man himself.
The protitleifs farmer may be til
ling too much land for the manure
and labor at his command; or plan
ting seeds of poor varieties because
he has made no effort to get the
best seeds, or working animals that
produce less than they consume;
or advancing to tenants more than
they produce; or permitting wastes
which eat up the profits.
Correct the evils and the profits
come. If the warehouseman, com
mission dealer, or other middle
man take more than a just share of
the selling price of produce, again
it is the farmers fault. It, is bis fault,
because his calling is not organized
and-trained sufficiently to cope
with the much smaller, but better
organized force of those who prey
upon him.
If the laws are inimical to our
calling, again we are to blame. We
are to blame, because we have not
been educated, so that laws can be
made without our voice or influ
ence and work us great injustice. A
man, or an industry, can rise and
have power by his or its own
strength.
Education, 'system and organi
zation is what we need. Let the
young men resolve to make farm
life their occupation, study it
and become acquainted with all
that insures success and they will
be happier, better and wealthiei
men than those of any other cal
ling, taken as a class.

Pleasant Hill, Dee. 6th, ISB4.
Editor Gazette :
Old Jacob being toothless and
very infirm, takes this method to
say that he is still alive. The sec
ond number of the Gazette has
reached me since it passed through
the fiery furnace. Its regeneration
by fire lias certainly improved it
mechanically and editorially very
much. Well, I can’t see why ev
ery household in Pike should not
take it. 1 know there are some
who ought, for there are many in
our county who dont take any pa
per. and don’t know that Cleve
land is elected president. I met a
man the other day who asked me
who was elected. After telling
him, said I, “dont you take any pa
pers?”
“Oh no,” says he, ‘.I am not con
venient to any post-office.
Whv says he, I never heard un
til last week that Christ was dead,
and a preacher was tollin that at a
meetinghouse, but never told what
was the matter with him.”
There is more hope for a heathen
than for those who are accessible
to pews, yet wont have it.
I suppose, Mr. Editor, that it is
a settled fact that there are two po
litical parties in Pike, both run
ning under the name of Dcmocra
eraev, having each a set of candi
dates for the various county offices.
Is there any reason or excuse for
such? I have lived in Pike over
sixty years, but have never heard of
two political parties of the same
name in the county before. As has
been vast improvement in the arts,
sciences and agriculture, &c., it is
thought the soreheads in view of
the negro element, affiled to the ne
gro element, added to the so-called
Jeffersonians, would be quite an
improvement to the time honored,
old fogy democracy of the county.
Jcsso, gentlemen of the jury.
Many of the new-fangled, befinl
<l le<l, hesmattered disorganizations
of the democratic party are charg
ing me with having gone back on
them,they call me by various names
—owlhcad, catfaee, AVeatherspout,
and want to hear me define my po
sition, which I hope to make clear
and satisfactory to the inquirer. I
have never prated or boasted of my
democracy as some have —don’t
claim it any part of mv religion—
have never defaulted in voting for
tho regular nominees of the party.
I think to live a democrat in act,
word and deed has a better influ
ence, than to boast of it, for boast
ing of ones self shows very little
modesty and some distrust. Some
say lam acting with the Prohibi
tionists.
There is no such party in Pike,
says I; that issue has been settled,
but if they mean to sav the regu
lar democratic party is the prohibi
tion party then T am a big one, and
always have been. Whenever I
get so ignorant as not to know the
legatin' democratic party, then J
shall cease to vote until I can dis
tinguish the party. If I can’t do
without riding in on a corn-stalk Je
sus, or a liquor hobby horse, or any
other hobby, please just count me
out.
' 1 have never distrusted the dem
ocracy of the Jeffersonians, “oh no’
it is the only way they handle it.
They run with the horse and hold
with the hounds; play pig and pup
py, with a jug in both ends of the
bag; independents with the radical
rings with a jug of liquor.
They are Simon pure Jefferson
ians with the democrats. Don’t
such a course serve to strengthen
the rads and weaken the democra
cy ; all of which is conclusive that
if the leaders of the Jeffersonians
can’t carry the democratic party in
their interest they had rather it
would fall into the hands, of the
rads. Jcsso.
Some of them have swallowed
vice president Hendricks, but hap
pened to take him wrong end fore
most as the skirts of his under gar
ment shows.
A word or so in regard to county
officers- The most or all of them
have been holding their offices as
democrats, can there be any objec
tion urged against any one of them?
Take our present commissioners,
Barrett, Perkins and Means. Have
they not worked our county out of
debt, built more bridges, improved
the poor farm with good buildings,
and withal redused our taxes below
that of any other county in the
state. Then why make a change.
It is hoped that the •voters of the
county will look well at the present
finances before easting their votes
and prepare to vote for those who
have reduced our taxes and kept
the county up to the highest
standard financially that it now en
joys.
W. P. Bussey, our sheriff'has but
few equals in the state, and no su
periors. ■ The people have good rea
son to be proud of him and should
re-elect him.
As to Ordinary Wells, the place
could not be filled by any one so
well as he fills it.
Nothing can he urged against
Treasurer Howell.
Oitr present Clerk, A. G. Harris,
has trod on a frog which makes a
change necessary.
Mr. Jay Driver, quite a business
young plan is running for the of
fice. He is strictly honest, and a
good" scribe, and if elected will
make a good clerk.
Excuse this hastily written artic
le. I would like to say something of
the thrifty and enterprising men of
Barnesville, but time Mrill not per
mit.
Yours,
Jacob WeaTHErspout.
Saving Fertilizers.
Until we farmers cease to be care
less about saving and applying all
the domestic fertilizers, we must be
stimulated to activity by constant
reminders on this subject of irnpor-!
tance. By a systematic course,much j
more manure cun be made per
head of stock than by the old method
of throwing it out under the eaves,
to wash and bleach till Spring.
Use straw, much dirt or even saw
dust to soak up the liquid portions.
A iarge amount can be made from
the hog pen where the slops from
the house are conveyed, and occa
sionally turf ordirt should be drawn
arid thrown in the pen. This manure
is more stimulating and lasting in
its effects than any of the commer
cial fertilizers. 1 would not discour
age a judicious use of fertilizers, but
no wise man uses them in place of
farmyard manures. They are of
great value to assist and make up
lack of quantity in the home made
manures.

Vegetable on the Farmer’s Ta
ble.
Although farmers are those why
should, above all other classes, en
joy the choicest productions of the
soil they are on the contrary very
self-detiying in that respect. The old
adage that the shoe-maker’s wife
goes barefooted maybe modified to
the expression that farmers do not
enjoy a sufficiency of the products
of’ the garden ’’Everything must
go to market, even the milk, that
should he freely used at home. The
city people generally get the gilt
edged butter, the cream from the
milk the earligt and best- flavored
fruits the finest and handsomest
beeves- sheep- and hogs and the
poultry and eggs follow in quick
succession.But if is not whltt is sold
that we allude to but what the far
hut does not grow. Many of them
pay very little attend m to the gard
en and while they no doubt produce
the usual crops of cabbage and po
tatoes a great many of them know
nothing of forcing cucumbers or of
tho methods of getting other vegeta
blesearly. \Ve know of hundreds
who never grew celery-who cannot
put out a bed of asparagus and who
take no thought of having peas
beans-and sweet corn in succession
during the season. Some of them
actually buy from the city many
articles that could be easily pro
duced at home. But the farmer
should not only have a full supply
of vegetables but be should nave
them fresh and good. When growing
them for his own use he can select
the finest varieties can cultivate
them to suit his desire, can have
them tardy or have them late, and
can store up for winter use such
kinds as can be utilized for that
purpose. If the growing of garden
vegetables entails more lahor.it is
compensated for by the lessening
of the table expenses by more enjoy
inent through variety by health,
and by the satisfaction of knowing
that helms the freshest and best.

AVe are only beginning to learn
the causes of disease. The improve
ment of microscopes has been of
the greatest service in the invest
igation of tho diseases of men and
beasts. This instrument has brought
to light numerous parasites which
exi- in the blood and which produ
ce most of the diseases known to us,
and others which have hitherto
been only very imperfectly under
stood. Recent 'discoveries have led
to the* investigation of an animal
parasite which exists in the blood,
and which produces various diseas
es as chy.luria,bloody urine,pains in
tin* miiatlos, elephantiasis, leprosy
abcessc*nacmia.paralysis.and gen
oral debility and wasting ending in
death. Animals are subject to allot’
these disorders and several others
caused by other parasites of a vege
table character. It is quite possible
that in time we maynot only discov
or the real causes of all the disord
ers which affect animal life and
find methods of prevention but we
have not yet reached that desirable
point.
Tiie system of ensilage has-broken
out, so to speak, with dangerous
eruptions, which go to show its con
stitutional weakness and its decline,
if not its early dissolution. It is
now in the hands of the doctor, in
stead of being managed by farmei
as a part of their regular practical
business. The impossibility of pre
serving green fodder, which con
tains a considerable proportion of
starch and sugar, from acetic fer
mentation, and the consequent ne
cessity that the preserved mass
should become sour,might have rec
onciled everybody in crested in the
inevitable result. But the idea of
“sweetsilage” has occurred to the
Professors who have kindly taken
the sick thing in charge, and efforts
are being made to get around some
inevitable natural laws and to keep
the fodder in the same condition, as
when it is fresh.
Governor McDaniel has granted
a charter to the Atlantic, .Gulf and
Northwestern Hallway Company,
a line of road it is proposed to* con
struct from the Tennessee line in
Fannin county to the Florida line
in Thomas or Decatur county via
Atlanta. The incorporators are
David X. Martin, John 8. Wise,
John F. Hobbs and Daniel Pittman,
all of Fulton county. At a recent
meeting the company was organized
and Col. 1). N. Martin elected presi
dent. These gentlemen have been
more than a year trying to secure
this charter.
The ordinary revenues of the
Government from all sources for
the fiscal year, ending June 30,
were#348.519,860.92. The ordina
ry expenditures for the same peri
od, were $360,916,478.83, leaving a
surplus of *57,608,369.09, all of
which, with the exception of .$8,46(5,
541.09, was applied to the redemp-
I tion of Government debts.
They have a township in Carroll
