Letter from tl:e Country.
The following letter was written
for last week’s pnjev,but was received
too late for that issue :
Tbkbkm. Gorier y, Jiil\ - 2d, 1878.
Editors Dawson Jovkxal: Hav
ing noticed in your paper that you
desire communications from the
country respecting the condition of
crops etc.., we thought that we would
drop you a few dots from the dry
streak of this, the eleventh district.
Crop3 promised flattering here until
about the 20th of this month. Both
corn and cotton were injured by hav
ing too much rain at once, then turn
ing off dry and hot scalding weather
after the ten days rain, did more in
jury to the crops than the length of
the present drouth has done. Cmi is
badly fired on sandy land, and will
not make more than a half crop in
places, if that, cotton has the rust on
gray sandy land, especially where
guano was used, this we think will
cut of the crop on such land fully
one half if it continues dry much
longer. The crops on red land are
very goqd, and free from rust to date.
The prospect tor a sugar cane and
pea crop is very fine so far. We
are fearful the potato crop will al
most be a failure it the drouth con
tinues much longer. It seems nearly
every tLing has, or is taking the rust
here. We see the gardens are all |
nearly ruined with it. Wi 1 some of j
those knowing and scientific farmers
of the county inform us weolhat and)
backwoods fellows, why it is that
grey or sandy lands will fire crops
from two much wet or dry weather?
We think your informant in your
last issue put the estimate rather low
on the average of the corn crops in
the dry streak, we think it will av
erage better than that. The farmers
in this neighborhood will have to
adopt the plan they did last year, sow
largely of small grain the coming
fall by tliaf means they may be able
to go through another year.
It looks hard, don’t it to you
Messrs. Editors, for farmers after
they have labored so zealously to
make a good crop to have it ruined
and cut off. But we must learn to
submit willingly and cheerfully to
the will of Him who governs all
things. llusticus.
P. S. The crops of our friend
Tobie just across'the line is not
as good as we think his land can
make. If it is, he plants m'ghty thin
dirt. We are fearful it was a thin
kind of guano he used, from the out
look. If his entire crop of corn was
like the half acre of bottom land he
might possibly squeeze through anoth
er year by not buy big more than half
his rations. We would advise friend
T. to imigrate just across the creek,
’ where better dirt can can be bad.

m Potatoes and Other Roots.—
Observation has shown that unripe,
or immature roots, will not keep for
any length of time. Irish and sweet
potatoes, turnips, beets, and other
roots, should be fully grown and ripe
if they are to be billed or stored for
winter and spring use. lienee those
who would store them should use
for that purpose those that were the
earliest planted and the longest in
maturing. The reason why whole
banks of these roots are found to rot
is for want of a due regard to the
maturity of their growth. No matter
how ripe they may be they will rot if
insecurely put up.
Improving Corn.— Professor Beal,
of Michigan, says : “In our corn,
fields are often large numbers of s'en
der stalks bearing no ears or very
small ones. These stalks have tas
sels, and they scatter pollen and are
very apt to scatter some of the ears
on the best stalks—on the very ears
which we shall select for seed. The
different kernels on the same ears
may have twenty or more different
male parents. Now, theory and an
alogy at loast tell us, if we wish to
improve our corn to the greatest ex
ent, we must pay some attention to
ftbe pollen used. A much better way
would be to plant a piece of corn by
itself on good soil and treat it well,
giving the stalks plenty of room.—
Before shedding pollen cut out en
tirely or remove the tassels of all the
poorest stalks. In this way we not
only select seed from good female
but also from those ferfil zed hv good
males.”
A Tribute, to St ulhwcsi Georgia.
On the Cth of tins month the fruit
growers of Fulton county were assen -
bled at their usual place, in the Ag
ricultural Department in the capital,
with a Hue display before them aid
many visitors. Our own honored
Governor was present. After the
members had made their little
speeches concerning their exhibits,
according to custom, Governor Col
quitt was called upon. He stated
that he had no speech to make, btu
would like to ask a question. Ha
said that be noticed that every speak
er yielded the palm to Mr. Jenkins,
and askeel whether the credit was
due to the man or the land? dhc
president of the meeting answered,
that we had last year, in Macon, at
our Sta'e Horticultural Convention,
the finest peach show that was ever
on this continent, and Mr. Jenkins
had not only the largest peaches but
the largest apples on exhibition, and
they were grown on his farm in
Southwest Georgia. One member
stated that the Chinese Cling grew
here to weigh nine ounces. Another
remarked that Mr. Jenkins then stat
ed that it was true that he had peach
es at Macon weighing fourteen ounces
and six of them sold for §8.15; that
the apples referred to where awarded
a silver model at the American Pom
olobical Convention at Baltimore;
these facts were published in the
newspapers, and a reliable party in
adjacent comity to the one in which
his fruit farm, “Harvest Home” is
having written liim that he grew
Chinese Clings weighing seventeen
ounces, he inferred that the credit
was due lo the land not to the man. —
Sunny South.
Tikmi’s Farmers will take ad
vantage of some of the fine seasons
weave having to sow, either broad
cast or in drills, the rut a haga tur
nips. Some, doubtless, have already
sown them. They require earlier
sowing than the other kinds. It any
have not yet prepared their land for
them, they should do so at
once. Cow penned lots are the best.
Plow and cross plow several times.
If there is no cowpeu scatter from.
200 to 300 pounds of guano per acre
before the last plowing, and turn the
lands under as it is sown, so as to
prevent as much as possible the es
cape of ammonia It is best to sow in
rows that t.;e turnips may be plowed
and hoed.
By the last of the month, and at
any seasonable time through the
month of August and the greater
part of September, sow the lluta
Baga, (if the first sowings failed) and
and any of the other favorite kinds
such as the large late Flat Dutch,
Norfolk, Globe Red Top, (strapleaf)
or yellow Aberden. As food for
stock the Rata Baga is generally con
ceded to be the best and many think
it is the best for the table.

I HAVE FOUND
THE 111CHT MEDICINE.
Boston, Mass.
Mr. H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir, —My only object in giving you this testi.
mor.iul is to spread valuable information. Having
been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the whole
surface of my akin being covered with pimples and
eruptions, many of which caused me great pain and
annoyance, and knowing it to La a blood disease, I
took many of the advertised blood preparations,
among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla, wi*h
out obtaining any benefit until I soauaened taking
the Veoetine ; and before 1 had completed the first
bottle I saw that I had got the right medicine. Con
sequently I followed on with it until I had taken
seven bottlee, when I was pronounced & well man ;
and my skin is smooth. and entirely free from pirn
pies and eruptions. I have never enjoyed so good
health before, and I attribute it all to the use of
VEGETINE. To benefit those afflicted with Rheu
matism, I will make mention also of the Vegetine’S
wonderful power of curing me of this acute com
plaint, of which I have suffered bo intensely.

Stronger than any Yeast or Baking P cwder
In the World, and Perfectly Pure.
SEA FOAM
Is warranted to make better, lighter#
healthier, sweeter, more toothsome,
more digestible, more nutritious
BREAD. BISCUITS, CAKES,
PUDDINGS, Etc.
THAN CAN BE MADE IN ANY
OTHER WAY.
SEA FOAM is an entirely new inven
tion, without any of the bad qualities of yeast
or baking powders , soda, or saleratus.
SEA FOAM contains no ingredient or
element which can produce an injurious effect*
but on the contrary lias in itself a tendency to
sustain and nourish the human system. It is
ABSOLUTELY PURE
Not infrequently the t>est of flour gets all the
blame, when in reality the dark color and poor
taste are both caused by the use of inferior
raising powder. Many baking powders now
highly recommended by grocers, and hence
largely sold, are made of old bones ground up,
and by a chemical process mixed with other
ingredients. Before lending their influence to
increase the sale of any baking powder, grocers
would do well to ascertain the reputation and
standing of its manufacturers. They would
thus avoid becoming instrumental in perpe
trating a fraud on their customers, and would
in the long run make more money. Of course
no honest man would knowingly lend himself
to such a fraud upon his tflßsb inters, and it is
very poor policy for any grocer to attempt to
palm off inferior goods when the best are
asked for. He may by so doing make a little
money at the time, but he surely will at some
time, tf the fraud is discovered, lose one of his
best customers, and with him a score of others
who might otherwise have dealt with him.
A merchant’s wisest policy is to secure the best
customers, and they are just the ones who
want the best goods. SEA FOAM is
WITHOUT AN EQUAL
It is prepared from the purest and best materi
als only, and is never under any circum
stances adulterated. There is no longer any
excuse for sour, heavy, or sodden bread, bis
cuit, or pastry. Every housewife in the land
should make herself acquainted with the facts
we have stated, which are indisputable, and
she will soon ascertain that most of the yeast
preparations now being sold are anything
else but what they profess to be, and that
this is the main reason why so large a propor
tion of the bread consumed by the masses of
the community is unhealthful. Invalids are
especially interested in this question of yeast,
and ought to keep constantly in mind the im
portant fact that their dietary should at all
times he the best, and that under the most
favorable circumstances they can not hope to
regain health and strength unless their food is
the most healthful and nutritious that can be
obtained. Good food makes good blood, and
the nerve force is strengthened or impaired in
proportion as the food we eat is nutritious or
otherwise.
SEA FOAM is worthy of a fair trial, and
that is all \ye ask for it.
No one having once used it will ever use any
other preparation in the baking powder line,
but will at once and forever banish from the
house 4he various crude mixtures and bogus
preparations in the form of yeast that have so
long and so persistently tended to destroy
health by imperfectly performing the require
ments they professed to fulfill.
SEA FOAM retains In all their excel
lence the nutritious properties and natural
taste of the various cereal preparations of food,
while in bread raised by the ordinary means
there is very frequently great loss of their
toothsome and palatable qualities.
Of all baking or yeast powders, Sea Foam
is beyond dispute the
BEST IN THE WORLD
Give it a trial, and you will concede that we
have offered you the means to make poor
flour much better than when used under
ordinary conditions, while good flour will be
immeasurably increased in sweetness, rich
ness, and all those qualities which combine to
render good bread essentially the staff of life.
SEA FOAM is now used by the leading
hotels and restaurants in New York city and
throughout the country. One eating-house in
New Y'ork has become famous for its SEA
FOAM biscuit, and during the dinner hours
there are always dozens of people waiting
their turn to be seated.
Ask your grocer to get it for you, If he has
not already placed it in his stock, and if an
obligiug man he will do so; or send for
circular and price-list to
