The Journal. J 1). HO iXJ r. LIJ 'ESTOA EDITORS. 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. 11. 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. VEGETIftIE.

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. C. H.

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 GANTZ, JONES & CO.
