AOmCUJLTUBAL.
Prudence and Spcciiliition.
A few flays ago we had occasion to
visit two of our friends, farmers, who
were busily employed in preparing
their land for the coming crop. They
had both the best and most improved
plows, fine, strong, fat horses, quanti
ties of Peruvian Guano, dissolved
bones, plaster nnd salt, besides good
sized pens of rotted cotton seed and
stable manure. They had also indus
trious negro laborers, and were work
ing well.
After some conversation with far
mer No. 1, we found that he did not i
intend to plant one hill of corn. All
the plows, horses, guano, bones, plas -
ter, salt and negroes were to be em
ployed in “raising a big cotton crop,”
that to raise corn even at $2 per bush
el wouldn’t pay near as well as cotton
at 2b cents per pound, nnd that it was
“good economy to buy corn, even if it
did cost more, because people don’t
use as much bought corn as where
they have a crib full to run over.” We
heard the old story repeated of how
mony bushels of corn one bale of cot
ton will “buy laid down.” That this
was a cotton ooun'ry and that it is
quite as toolisb to raise hay as n crop
Vour country, as it is to spend our
time and labor producing from twelve
to fifteen bushels of corn to the acre.
“A good band, Bir,” finally remarked
our friend, in the most oracular man
ner, “can make seven or eight heavy
bags, worth to-day over SIOOO, and
the same hand could not, to save hia
life raise more than 120 bushels of
corn worth about $100.”
No argument, no reasoning, no pic
ture of cotton at 10 cents, and a half
crop at that, with corn scarce in the
West and held at $2 50, produced the
slightest effect. He evidently thought
wo kaew more about politics than
planting, and that we could not teach
him anything He is determined to
stake his land, his time, labor, provis
ions, use of stock, expenses for fertili
zers, implements, etc , on cotton this
fall bringing 28 cents (fer pound, and
is in reality, though he would beoflen
ded were he told so, gambling as reck
lessly as if be were to play at poker
and “risk his thousands on nary pair.”
Friend No. 2, equally busy, equally
well provided and equipped, told us
that he intended to plant more than
half his arable land iu corn, oats, po
tatoes, peas and other food crops, and
that after providing for plenty to eat
for men and beasts, without the expen
diture of a dollar and without “haul
ing from the depot,” he would plant
cotton, and hoped by good culture,
liberal manuring, the blessing of favor
able seasons to make a good crop,
which he hoped to sell at 20 cents at
least, but which, if it fell to 10 cents
would not hurt him much.
We asked him whether he did not
feel tempted to plant his corn land in
cotton and take the chance of a large
price. Ho replied that he was Dot;
that he never gambled, nevet ran in
debt, and nev r bought corn or bacon,
lie always raised plenty of provisions
and notwithstanding the war, the loss
of his negroes and the hard times, bad
plenty to eat and “a little something
in the bank for the old woman and the
little folks after I’m gone ”
We hope that there are many who
feel and intend to act like our friend
No 2, but we fear that ihere are many
more like friend No. 1.
The cotton mania seems to be epi
demic. Bitter experience, suffering,
failure, heavy losses and disappoint
ments are all forgotten, and everybody
seeips to rely on a bale to the acre and
“at the lowest calculation SIOO per
bale.”
We give the result of our visit to
our prudent and to our speculative
friends in the earnest hope that our
planting friends convinced by the rea
soning of the former will “go and do
like* ise,” and say to all the tempta
tions of the latter, “get thee behind
me.” —Atlanta Intel,

Best Food to Make Hens Lay.
Major Freas: If you think the fol
lowing experiment will interest the
readers of your truly valuable paper,
you are at liberty to use all or any por
tion of it; it is the resalt of one season’s
experience in the efficacy of the food
used. It is oar custom here in Georgia
to feed our poultry oa corn, as it is more
abundant than any other species of
grain.
Last winter I procured two barrels of
bone meal, intending to use it for Irish
potatoes and other garden crops; my
wife, however, appropriated some of it
to manuring some of her roses in the
flower garden, by simply strewing it on
the surface of the ground around the
bushes. The fowls having free access
to the garden, were discovered eating
the ,very eagerly. Thinking it
might be of service to them, we gave
them some for several weeks, and I as
sert it was but a short time before the
eggs began to come in such numbers
as we had never before known. If a
nest was -broken up to prevent a hen
from hatching, it was but a few days un
til she was laying again, and thus it
continues until the present time.
One ben has taken possession of a
barrel which bag gome of the bone-meal
in it; whether she intends to lay a bar
rel or not lime will determine.
My wife thinks corn and bone-meal
great institutions for her ponl'ry yard
and very extraordinary in its effect; but
as the hens have an nnusual amount of
oackling to do fears they may bronchit
is ! This manuring of hens to make
them lay we think is original, but wc
have no idea of taking out a patent for
it. and henee Jeavo the discovery open to
the use ox all who may choose to try it.
Yours respectfully,
Clarksville, Ga. J. Van Buaen.
Western Farmers. —If planters who
have ‘cotton on the brain’ will not heed
suggestions from those who live among
them, perhaps they may ronsidi r of
mTe value the judgment of Western
farmwes who are preparing to take ad
vantage of the State of things at the
'South that must inevitably result from
the raising of a large cotlou crop to the
partial neglect of provisions. Ihe Nash
ville Press & Times ; ‘lntelligence from
all parts of the South is to tho effect
that tbo farmers will vork this year on
the ootton idea, and give up almost ev
erything else in the cultivation of that
staple. Wo are clearly ol the opinion
that the farmers of this State will act
prudently in turning their attention to
grain, pork and beef, as provisions aro
likely to be far more profitable than cot
ton. In tho wild chase of cotton, tho
planters of the Gulf States aro oortaiu
to eoromit a blunder, which our farmers
should turn to their own advantage.’
The way to Build ii|> the South
A Virginia paper, says the Mobile
Registor, comes down to Chnr'e ton
for proofs and examples of what South
ern Communities may accomplish in
the way of resuscitation from the
wreck ol war, and advancement in
material prosperity. Copying from
the Charleston News, it calls upon its
readers, as wo do with like applicabil
ity upon our own in Modile, to note
what Columbia, that was almost de
stroyed by Sherman, is doing, and
Atlanta, that was almost totally de
stroyed, is now much larger and more
thriving than it was belore tho war.—
We subjoin the extract from the News,
for the instruction of capitalists and
industrious aod enterprsing men in
this city :
“Why, see here, now, what the lit
tle city of Columbus, Georgia, is do
ing. It has new three manufactories
in operation—the Eagle aud Phoenix,
the Columbus and the Steam Cotton
Mills The first has 9,000 spindles in
operation, exclusive of tho woolen ; tbo
second 2 500, and the last 2,000, —to-
tal 23 000 spindles The finest kind
of oassimers, all kinds of thread, sheet
ing, shirting, eot., and beautiful blan
kets are being made. The Eagle and
Phoenix and the Columbus both con
template doubling their machinery du
ring the present year. When this’s
done then/ will be 26,000 spindles in
operation Climate, and being in the
heart of the cotton region, greatly fa
vor the Southern manufacturer. Cot
ton goods can be made in tho South
considerable cheaper than at the North
.Acting on this knowledge the Eagle
and Phoenix Company are contempla
ting the building of another mill as
large as their present oqo, and filling
it with machinery.
A fellow in Deeatur, Illinois, the oth.
er day thought he had found a long
piece of dress goods upon the pavement.
He picked up one end of it, and began
wrapping it around hij arm, when <n
looking around the corner he discovered
a lady at the other end quietly talking
to a friend. He suddenly dropped his
p ize and started off.

11 A Penny Saved, is Tico Pence Made.”
ONE hundred years experience by the
World, since Beujamin Franklin uttered the
above proverb, but adds to its truth. Then
why not everybody use the
EXCELSIOR FAMILY REMEDIES,
and save the Doctor’s Mileage, Visits and
Prescriptions.
The t:\CELSMOn «lgue PiUs
NEVER FAIL to cure Chilli* and Fever
or BILIOUS Fevers, while the cost is a mere
trifle compared with a Doctor's bill for the
same service.
So of the EXCELSIOR AGIIE
CL'RE —It never fails to cure either. In
fact, it is the same Remedy in a different
form. But from its greater solubility and
fluid condition, is more nauseous to the taste,
but at tlie same time, is more active than the
Pills. Neither cure bv Vomiting or Purging,
but by killing the .?f alarta or Poison in
the system, and the patient is relieved with
out being prostrated with Drastic Remedies.
These Remedies also remove Fever Cakes,
or enlargement# of the Npleen and Liver.-
Cure Incipient Dropsy, and all Malarious Dis-
9 The Excelsior
Cathartic Pills— are Unequaled as a
MILD and EFFICIENT Cathartic, always ac.
ting promptly, yet mildly—disgorging the
Liver and reiievmg Biliousness and its con
sequences. Cures Sick Headache, Constipa
tion, Liver Disease, kc.
The Excelsior Female Bestor <*
alive —Relieves suppressed Menstruation,
Painful J/enstrua'ion,Leucorrhoea or Whites,
Ulceration of the Womb, and many other dis
eases and conditions peculiar to Females, it
is the best U tcr ' ne Alterative and Purifier
known to the Medical .Profession, and no fe
male troubled with any irregularity or con
dition peculiar to the sex, should dispair of
being cured, until she has given it a fair trial.
The EXCEESIOB COUGH
It.lLS.l.yi— Cures Colds, Catarrhs, In
fluenzas, Coughs, &c.. Prevents Pneumonia
and Croup. A single bottle not unfrequently
saves a family oue hundred times its cost in
dollars and cents, besides much sufleriug, and
even the loss of life.
Tlie Excelsior Soothing Cor
xllill—Uas no equal for the cure of Bowel
Affections, such as CHOLERA, Cholera-.f/or
bus, Cholera-lofantum, Diarrhea aud Dysen
tery; relieves the pains and gripiDgs, and ar
rests the discharges.
The Excelsior Petin Killer—

upon the Liver and other glands. It removes
obstructions and relieves organic and func
tional changes, and leaves the otgaa healthy

TESTIMONIALS.
The Waters’ Pianos are known as among
the very best.— N. Y. Evangelist.
We 3an speak of the merits of the Waters’
Pianos from personal knowledge as being of
the very best quality.— Christian Intel .
The Waters’ Pianos are built of the best
and mo9t thoroughly seasoned material.—
Advocate and: Journal.
Our friends will find at Mr. Waters’ store
the very best assortment of Pianos, Melo
deons and Organs to he found in the United
States. — Graham's Maqazine.
MUSICAL DOINGS.—Since Mr. Waters gave
up i)ubli«liing Hheet music, he has devoted his
whole capital and at/ention to tlie manufacture
and sale of Pianos nnd Melodeons* He has just
issued a catalogue of liis new instruments, giving
anew sealc of prices, which shows a marked re
duction from former rates, and his Pianos have
recently been awarded the First Premium at sev
eral Fairs. Many people of the present day, who
arc attracted, if not confused, with the flaming ad-
Yertisementsol rival piano houses, probably over
look the modest manufacturer like Mr. Waters ;
but we happen to know that liis instruments
earned him a good reputation long before Expo
sitions and “holiors” connected therewith were
ever thought of; indeed, wc have one of Mr. Wa
ters’ Piauofortos now in our residence ([where it
has stood for years,) of which any manufacturer
in the world might well be proud. We have al
ways been delighted with it as a sweet toned aud
powerful instrument, and there is no doubt of it#
durability ; more than this, some of the best ama
teur players in the city, as well as several celebra
ted pianists, have performed on the same piano,
aud all pronounce it a superior aud first-class in
strument. Stronger enaorsement we could not
give.— Home Journal .
A specimen of the above Pianos can bo
seen at my residence. W. M. Peeples..
