From tbe Ma lison A i r. Farmer’s State Convention at 31 aeon. Eatcst n, October 23, IS6B. Pe. uant to an invitation of the Execu five Committee of the Putmm County Agricultural Club, a meeting of the farm ers in attendance upon the Fair at Eaton ton was held in the Court House this daji for the purpose of discussing agricultural topics. The subject of labor and contracts was taken up and thoroughly discussed by lion. B. T. Harris, of Hancock; Cos . R. H, Ward, of Greene; Col. R. Jourdan, of Jas per; Col. H. f). Capers, of Putnam ; and 13. II True, of Morgan. The combined experiences and opinions of these gentle men went to prove that the present system of labor is a failure, and if * listed in will eventually ruin the country. All fa vored a plan of immigration. On motion, an immigration society, for the evening, was formed by calling Dr. J. T. Etheudge, of E - tonton, to }he Chair and electing B. 11. True, of Morgan, Sec retary. On motion the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : WiiEttEAS, The agricultural interests of the State are suffering by the disorganiza tion of the labor system, by the absence <f working capital to reclaim the land and Introduce labor-saving machinery, for the want of skilled labor and actual settlers to buy m! improve our surplus lands ; There*, fore be it Resolved, That, with a view to meet these paessing demands, each county in the State he requested to pend one delegate to a Convention of farmers to be hel l in the city of Macon on the second Wednesday in December next, for the purpose of organizing a State I'm migration Association, the object of which shall bo to encourage immigra tion in such ways as the Association may deem expedient. Resolved. That the entire Press of the State be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting, and re. commend a general attendance of all who are friendly to the objects of the Convention. Ou motion, a committee of three was i ppointod by the chair, composed oi Harris, of Hancock, Capers, of Putnam, and True, ot Morgan, to pre pare ai: address to the people of Geor gia, on the subject of immigration. On motion, the President of the ■•dub was directed to apply to our res pective railroad companies for a free pis3 for one delegate to the State Convention from each county in the State. On motion, the meeting adjourned. J. I. DIIIERIDGE, Cbrn’n. B H. Tri e, Sec'y How lo make Hogs Fat. Hogs well fed and kept clean will itten rapidly. If tiue economy be consulted, tbo grain will be ground air! cooked. Hogs have good appe n is and a powerful digestive appa ratus. It. is a well known fact that the appetite will fail long before the !l, ' s ' hility to digest well is impaired by sobering. Though swine in thin ' il ‘- sli iatfen very rapidly, fat hogs in creas l in wmahf <d G -c..*,., fc icauy to the disappointment of their feeders, l ids i. s due usually to the failure ol the ippetite, an 1 in the case we want hogs ci v fat, we seek to remedy the diffi i ulty by varying the food and stimu lating a desire to eat, in various ways ceding little and often, in order to m ke the animals eat as much as pos sible- A good story was lately told ,:s (and several neighbors who year af<* ier year, vied with ono another in try i: g to produce the fattest hog, each aking a pig from the same litter, or vU some way starting fair and square with pigs ot the same age and size, nnd doing his best to make it as fat as 1" : : -k!e before Christinas. One farm er invariably beat the others out and out, so thoroughly tliat his good luck < ou: J not be accounted for as acciden al. The secret lie kept to himself, out being watched by someone deter .c.ii.- dto find out, the discovery was 1,! * e t:ia l jealousy is a grand appeti .ei for Jioga. First, the pet monster was allowed to fill himeelf to his heart's Cl n * on C fl nd, when his appetite was sati.-fied, a hall-starved shoat was let into the pen by a side door. The fat one would at once begin to fight it off, nod meanwhile, to gorge bimself, sim ply i° prevent the poor, squealing Mctim ot unsatisfied cravings getting any food. I his was a daily programme, and the result was as "stated. The fact is worth bearing in mind, for in preparing hogs for exhibition, or for t ne irason, we are often desirous of expediting the fatning process. I American Agriculturalist. Place for the Pig-Sty.—Desira ble as it is to have the pen within easy 1 < a from the Kitchen, it is yet a bar barous custom to Lave it so near that if - noisas and offensive smelis wii! pen etrate the house. Wherever it is, there should be a good walk provided lor convenience in carrying 1 0|)8 to it. i Nor should it be too close to the horse stable, There is a foolish notion abroad that a horse-stall next to a psn is hurt ful to the pigs, especially to breeding sows. The otily conceivable harm would be to the horse and his master, arising from the foul smell of the hogs. Common sense says, let the pig-sty be arranged on one side of the barnyard, so as to allow the pig manure to be mixed with that of the horse and cow as they severally accumulate. Oue apartment of the pen should open in to the yard, so as to allow the hogs to run out and work over the horse ma nuie, and to feed on such grain as they may find among it. The pig-pen should, of course, have its sleeping room well provided with straw, and the whole < > ablishtnent should be kept clem. Ru>al American. Tofficial.l PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.

GOVERNMENT: Our discipline will he mild yet de isive, cur rules few but comprehensive, students being required to maintaingoed orderadattention to their studies. A good education does not consist in how much a person knows, as facts, but in the ap plication at that knowledge to practical pur- Sposes ; hence it is our object to teach not only how, but why, in short to direct tfhe mind in such a manner as to enable it to tbink rathe? than rely upon the “ipse dixit” of another. No one will be allowed to pass into a hipher class until he or she shall have mastered the sludica of the preceeding class, and in order to insure this, a quarterly examination will fee held, in wh.eh every one will be required to stand upon his own merits, upon the result of which he will take rank in his class. It i3 hoped that parents and guardians will not permit their children to absent themselves without absolute necessity. Without their ac tive co-operation "frith the teacher they cannot expect their children to make the greatest pro gress of which their talents will admit. Monthly rpporfs showing the average stand ing iri each study will be st nt to parents which thev are requested to examine, sign and return to the faculty.
