I was looking over The Leader tliis morning and reading the account of five-acre tract 426, thought I would tell you about my farm. Last year we come rather late for spring garden, so we planted our tract to cow-peas, and plowed the vines under. This spring we only used $2 worth of fer¬ tilizer and one bushel of droppings from the hen house, on the whole five acres. I liaye 220 ripe pods of un¬ known peas gathered from one vine; besides we bad two or three messes of green peas off of the same vine. I did not think to keep count of the pods Until I gathered the ripe ones for seed, and I have 220 pods, the average pod having eighteen peas each. This was an enormous vine growing in one corner of the garden, hut had no more fertilizer than than the rest of the garden or tract. We have had fresh tomatoes every meal since May, until about a week ago, also some very fine cabbage. Our corn did well, and Kafir corn splendid. Sweet potatoes enough to last this winter. What few Irish potatoes we planted did very well, most of them were large as a common tea cup. I made six quarts of syrup, two gallons of preserves and two and half gallons of vinegar, all out of twenty-one medium sized wa¬ termelons. The hill of fare for dinner to-day was: Baked potatoes, peas, turnips, fried pork, pie, molasses, cake, coffee, tomatoes and brown bread, all of which was raised on our own five acres, except the pork. If you don’t believe it come out and I will give you a lunch (if you come before my Kaffir corn flour is all gone). You see I am learning to live in wire-grass Georgia. I forgot to say 1 had two crops of buckwheat nice as you ever saw. My five acres is No. 278. Mrs. V. J. Beady. The Calamity Howler. The calamity howler is the biggest nuisance in town. He’s worse than an open sewer and more dangerous than any germ that ever sneaked into a community. The calamity howler in the guise of a man endowed with sense and business tact, goes around frightening people with idiotic balder¬ dash about the dangers of yellow' fe¬ ver. lie doesn’t know anything about yellow fever, he has’nt even read any¬ thing about it, mucli less seen any¬ thing of it, and he is scared out of his own hoots. He is a coward and wants to make other people afraid. He doesn’t care how much injury he does to his town, or how much lie works upon the nerves of women so long as he can create a panic. That’s what he wants. He is a fool as well as a coward and he is a liar as well as a fool. The calamity howler is a crimi¬ nal, and he ought to he suppressed. He ought to be taken out and burned, but as civilization has unfortunately wrapped him in a protecting mantle that saves his worthless carcass, he is permitted to stalk the streets free to howl and wail to his heart’s content. Bat, fortunately a special ordinance can be passed to provide a place for the calamity howler, and it should be passed at once. Council should pass an ordinance at once covering the ca¬ lamity howler. Then the chief of po¬ lice should give special instruction to his men to hunt him down and yank him up uucontinently. It matters not whether the man he big or little, whether lie lias a million doliars in the bank or a big family and not a cent, whether lie he black or white, run him in and make him an example. The calamity howler must go.—Ma¬ con News. T. W. HAYDE, ! A DEALER IN < > A 9 9 9 9 Mouldings.
