One of thegre itest charms and ono of
|he most beneficent features of our eg*
ricultural organizations is the social
feature, litre men study one another
under more favorable circumstances
and each reach more accurate conclu
sion* of each other’s traits ani abilities
than anywhere else. Under a man's roof
thero are certain conventionalities to be
observed which do not give you that
absolute freedom of inquiry which Is
allowahls in the club room. Tha dis
cuss ons oro carried on with the view of
improvement only, and your neighbor
has no right to suppose any personal re
flection. Methods and not men are
tho staple of conversation, and thus
what is useful and important becomes
tho projiorty of all. There are excep
tions to all rules, end some men moke
themselves most diecgrecablo bj not Uis-
cussing subject before tho body, hut by
conthiudiy prating about what they
lure at home. Put the general result Is
'farmers become to knot/ each other bet
ter, and are ready to stand alioulder to
shoulder in ilcfonoo of their iutererta.
Tricar, is one question that has always
puzzled us, and that is why farmers are
compelled to pay higher rites of interest
than any other class of citizens. They
are comulcre*!, and oven admitted, to bo
the backbonoof tho country—and that
all other industrios aro depondont upon
agriculture for prosperity. Hate:: of in
terest are low to every corporation and to
every speculation and industry, but the
farmer lion to groan and swoat under the
old style of 8 to 12 per cent, on mil es
tate. ami flvrn twins Ihnt when ha ha*
to mortgago his mules and plows. Good
may come of tho grievous burden by
fore lag greater economy and moro earn-
ost labor to get out of debt and to stay
out. Under the present regime they can
not do mors than thoy cr j doing, and
tho farmers can do better, tho conditions
iciu.tilling the sain*. If the farmer.could
borrow money at tho same rates which
prevail with other burin— industries, ho
could m#.*t every demand and in a short
tin:* relievo himself from the fearful in
cubus of debt which continually para
lyzes his energies. There is a timo com
ing, how far in tho future we know not,
when this question vri!! force s sciatica,
for tho logic of events is rapidly carry
ing us to this point. Much depends
upon the farmers and the agricultural
organization*.

Of course there are creams and ices
which aro coroposod of expensive in-
eredleuta, but of »u* h we aro not speak

TUE WOOLFOLK MOTION.
COUNSEL RUTHERFORD PLEADING
HARD FOR A NEW TRIAL.
AllorYeaterder IsConsitmrd In ITrar-
Ingfhe NIotlon—To Do Continued
Monday—A gjrnopuls or Some of
the Grounds Urged.
Yesterday was tho time set for the
hearing of the motion for a new trill in
tho Wool Folk cane.
Colonel A. L. Miller came up from
Fmy nnd desisted Co’onel John C.
Rutherford in presenting tho matter*
Solicitor Felton was seconded by At
torneys Du Pont Guerry ur.d Joseph
Hall.
The cut Ira day was consumed in decid
ing upon Hie record. Col. Rutherford sub^
mill'd a lengthy brief going to show that
tho verdict w as contrary 11 evidence, etc,,
etc. Ho also filed an amended motion,
embracing n number of grounds why
a now trial should be granted. Tho fci.
lowing is a cynopsis only. The full text
would concumc several columns. The
amended motion insists on a hew trial
on the following grounds:
First ground—Because the court
erred in overruling the motion to change
the venue rml erred in refusing to
allow defendant to intro luce testimony
before tho court to tudain tlAe allega
tions in his motion to change the venue,
and erred iu holding that, the court hud
no authority under tho law to hear any
evidence on n motion to change the
venue ml that tho venue could lo
changed only in accordance with sec
tion 4W7 of tho Code of Georgia, and
erred In holding that Raid reel ion was
not iu violation of the constitution of
the tdato of Georgia, or tiro con. titution
of the United Stales.
Second ground—Ikratire the court
erred in holding that his honor, Judyo
George W. Gust in, was l ot disqualified,
end in overruling the objections us to
the qualification of said judge.
Third ground -He* auso the court erred
in admitting the testimony of R. 11.
Hnrrou and A slier Ayres, who testified
in oubstanco that they worn memU*rs of
the jury tlmt tried the enso of tiro State
vs. Wcoifolk in Bibb mp -rior court, ami
that while acting as rmd jurors that
they saw p-» the drawers that were i i-
truaucod iu tt:e cam? a stain or print Hint
they took to ho the i rint «.f a baud.
Cotmael for tho dcfcn.se objected to the
testimony of those witnetaen upon the
ground Hint thoy had Inh*ii ineiai*.-r? of
tiro jury that ha’d trie*! this case before,
nnd thut it was in.|?»sil>lc for tlx 1 jurms
to sav whut effect the other tratiiiK nv
had in causing their minds to reach the
conclusion that thoy taw the print of a
hand, etc.
Fourth ground—Becnttco the court
erred In admitting tho testimony of Nnt
Birdsong over tho objection of defend
ant's counsel. Binhorig testified that he
heard Woolfolk say “Izml liavo mcicy
on mo, tiro only thing that I regret is
killing my father," Birdsong further
testified that this wtti all that ho heard;
tlmt he could not mv iiiai lie heat u uii
that Woolfolk lmil said before lio got
there. As tho witness heard only a part
of what w'flsnnid. It was inadmissible,
for if tho witness had heard all that ho
did say, it mb h have changed materi
ally tho meaning of the (art tliat tho
witness said he hoard. D*f •mlant’s
counsel objcctod thut as Birdsong was
tic jailer who had charge of this defend
ant that it was ngnimt the policy of tho
law that what a man hail uttered in a
prayer to hi* Maker should boused a •
evidence against him.
Fifth ground—Becauso tlie court erred
in admitting the testimony of Nat Bird
song, tlutt on ono orcadon when Wool-
folk was reading a j«a|*cr that lie, Bird-
sung, asked him “Who will get the pron-
»'r«y>" B *wttk&! Woolfolk replied tat “It
b not worth while to talk about that.
My sisters will get the property. When
the proper time comes 1 w ill kettle that
question. Defoidurt objected to thLi
testimony upr.n the ground thut it was
too indefinite and immaterial
Hixth giound—llecAUK* the court erred
In refusing to alhtvv the defendant to
show tliat the public feeling rgiiiut him
was eo hlnmg nnd so hitter that some of
his ni««»t lui|Nirtunt witnesses had Urn
so frighten* d as to deny that they knew
anything about the case, when in fact
they know most iuqtortaut aud Material
testimony,
Seventh ground—B*‘Cimo tho court
errwl in rtiling out the testituouy of W,
A. Kitchens, in regard to the connection
of the negro Jack iluBose with tho afiair.
WiUi the negroin court, oxhiiflted to the
jury and under full ktutemeut of facts,
tho defendant olTeru*! to show by Kitch
ens that when the said negro was ar
rested 176 miles front the Woolfolk place,
ami when charged with being an es
caped convict, replied: “llow could ho to
an creatwd convict, when ho was on the
Woolfolk place the night the nine were
killed;" and further, that he mention*) 1
Green Lockett to hlwritf Kitchens, aiul
tluit holuubldd out on the Woolfolk
placo, and tluit a negro woman rained
Ann had brought hitu his breakfast, Ann
being the wife of Anderson James. This
testimony was ottered for the purpose of
identifying the barefooted negro who
had a conversation in a low-toned voire
with Green Lockett on the night of tl.o
killing, and who had left before Wool-
folk returned from live house, all of
which the court refused to permit de
fendant to prove by Kitchens.
Eighth ground—Because the court
erred iu ret using i> rule out the testi
mony of Miss Sallio Woolfolk ami Mrs.
Mary Reese, who testified as to the f* cl
ing of Thomas Wcoifolk tovvanl his
step-mother, Mrs. Woolfolk, to-wit: lu
sulstance tliat he eakl tluit Mrs. Wool-
fold was as mean as the devil, tho
meanest woman in the world, and
tluit he hated her. Defendant objected
to thietertiinony upon the ground tluit
Thomas Woolfolk was now on trial for
tho mtmlcr of hi* father, Richard Wool-
folk, and tluit it was not udmiiwiblo to
give in evidence his feeling toward Mn*.
Woolfolk. The court said it admitted
tlie testimony upon tho ground tliat de
fendant had introduce 1 evidence show
ing hit feelings toward each member of
tin family; that he did not intend to
hold tliat it was not admissible inde
pendent of tliat and held that the testi
mony we# admissible; that tbe^ motive
one of tho family might very well ho
held to induce him to have kil’e.l the
others—at least it well'd ba a matter for
the consoleta*.Urn of ttio jury.
Ninth ground—Uocatuo tho court
erred in refusing to allow defendant to
prove by F. F. Walker w l.at John Jeff
said to him about the foot prints, nnd
what he said aU>ut tho gun, and refused
to allow defendant to prove where ho
said he was tluit night, and other state
ments of John Jeff.
Tenth ground—Because the court
erred in refusing to allow defendant to
prove by II. P. Cowan what John Jeff
raid to him about his movements that
and about certain foot prints.
Eleventh ground—Because tlie court
erred in ret wing to allow defct. lunt to

Defendant showed that J-hn Jeff livid

dibiauco from his house; that ho had
chopped cotton for him that year, anl
that no had quit about two week* ^ f< to
the killing, but still remained on tho
K a'il'jtiou. The defendant showed that
o was familiar with the house and
hero the different members of tDo
family slept Tha defmdaut showed
that on the morning after the killing,
and aft.r a largo Lumber of
poople in tho nighborliood had
been aroused, rnl had arrive*!
tho Woolfolk place, that
John Toff, although living Immediately
by Green Loc kett, was r ot seen by any
one before 0 or 7 o'clock in the morning:
some witnesses say as late as 10 or 12
o’clock, and that while Pennington did
not know John Jeff by name when he
made the threat, when several negroes
that lived on the Woolfolk place were
brought to Pennington ho failed to rec-
ognizo every ono of them until John Jeff
uington recognized him ns the negro wiu ,binary hhid, anJ esanoe bs toll is
had made tho threat, end tliat ivhcn competition with Ui#muUiiu<Jo of low uwt, short

Ing that when John Jeff was being quev
iiruitl as to n rt .in footprints in one of
the room* in Captain Woolfolk’* house
that lio became rmtScss an 1 excited; and
tried to get away, giving some frivolous
excuse, a* that ho had to feed the chick
en# or s.tling hen. Defendant also
allowed that on another occasion, when
talking with another wit new, j*? became
nertO'iH oinl excited. Defendant then
offered to prove by several witnesses
contradictory statements tl a' had been
made by Joi n Jeff.
Twelfth ground—Because tho court
erred In refusing te allow defendant to
ask in the cross-examination of Bone
Davis, n witn<S3 for the (date, certain
questi*ms. Counsel for defendant dated
that he wanted to show that Davis had
crazy spell* nt times and at times he Is
sane, nnd further asked i**rmu*ion of
tho court to show by Davu that a num
ber of lib neighl-ora were sent for and
that they came over thero to Ids house
f• r the p*ur|vrfe of preventing him from
doing any harm, and that thoy c&mu
there from n»*\vKng**» from hi# own family
that he was t razy; ad of which tlie court
refused to permit defendant's couusel
to do.
Thirteenth ground—Becau&o tho court
erred in p.rmitting the atalo to put in
evidence over the objection of defendant,
a pair of sock*, under the testimony of
Jitn Foster (colored), who sworo that he
was preseut when tho well was cleaned
out, ulxmt two weeks uftor tho killing,
and that a |«iir of bucks was taken out.
and when asked whether these were tho
socks he said they looked liko them, and
when asked whether lie could swear posi
tively whether or not these were the
samcNook# that came out of the well,
lie raid I reckon it is them. ' Defendant
ohjci'ted Bait tlicio was no identification
at all of tho socks offered in evidence
some two years after they were taken
from tho well
Fourteenth ground—Ikvause the
court erred in refusing to admit the tes
timony of Mrs. Cowan and Mr. McKay.
Cotinm 1 for defense then offered to prove
by Sirs. Cowan what her father said, lo-
wit: That »*lnro ho had nut George Cad-
well in jail that tho church had pre
sented a lung petition n#king that ho be
turned out of jail, which request ho had
refused to comply with, and that In? w as
very uneasy and epprvhenalvo for fe \r
this negro Cadwvll would do him some
harm.
The hearing will he continued Monday
and probably Tuesduy.
A SIIfTlTr CATHCIIISM.
It Bxplain# Why Dairying Isa i»ront-
nblr Fnrni luduatry.
From ths Ohio Farmer.
What is the most profitable branch of
agriculture? Dairying.
Why? Hoeauto it is manufacturing
finish**! products from raw material, and
Him !*!•*• t»rn*lilri»A
tho raw nmteriai. Ho im* the profit thul
the seller of raw material guts, and the
profit the nv nufacturer secures.
What is n*‘cev»ry to see ma in dairy
ing? Manv things. Tho dairyman must
bo a g*#xl fanner, agood judge of cattle,
especially cows, a good feeder, and a
careful business man generally.
What b Hie best soil for dairying? A
limestone soil, perhaps, but any fertile,
well * r .ined k<»»I that wl 1 grow good
itastuie is adapt***! t<> thb jHirpose, Clay
loam roil b always good. Tlio laud
should bo moderately level and r *’
wifeted*
What Lind of cows srobwt? Goo*l
milk cows. Tliat comprehends all. No
matter about tho I reed. Of course vou
want cow# adapted to tho kind of dairy
ing follow* J. For butter, Jersey bk#*l
excel*, but it would l» folly to keep a
Jersey herd if tho milk is to In? sold by
tho quart. For ehoeso purpose#, tho
Ayrshire and lluMeiu blood b goo*l.
Short-horns are good for butter and
cheese and milk, and selected native
cows excel a# good milker* for almost
any purpose. A shoit horn grade b an
excellent cow, and the various grades
und crosses of Ilclatein, Ayrshire, Jersey
aud Devon make the beat of dairy cow a.
Howfcliould the dairyman keep up his
henl ? By breeding and rabing hb own
cows. He can in thb way grade up n
her*! to the highest print of excellence,
and nt no greater cunt, after starting,
than in miring srrul s. (let a good mule,
of good milking strain, aud breed to the
best cowi,
What crops should Die dairyman rai
Beside# posture, tlie main cro{» should !>e
com for ensilage. It b now settled that
a silo b essential to thn greatest sue.
in dairying. For the dairy herd he need
rain? no other (tana for it b cheaper to
buy bran and mill feed than to produce
•wall grain on a dairy form.

Faim^r—lk*ar 8fr: In complin lice with
a request of Mr. Etue, or the Indicator.
1 wrote an article on th j subject of Hog
Cholera or Worms In 1 lojp*. It was pub
lished in the humo of tlie 11th, und be
fore I had the )>n|»er in my hand, I had
received several letters of inquiry simi
lar to ycairs, und every mail since
brought me from three
to ten letters on tlio ramo subject. I
promised to answer any and all who
wrote tne promising to try it .faithfully.
Now, I find that 1 have fairly got my
foot in it. I tried to write answers, but
found it iinpoerible to answer twenty
letters per day, so I have got tho printer
to Help me out, ns ono form will answer
all the coircsjiondencG. 1 want you to
lie particular nnd thorough, so tluit you
will ho satisfied that I am correct in my
theory.
Formula for Worm Specific: \ lb.
worm seed; { lb. Senna leaves; 2 lbs. to-
Imicco; 3 gab*, sorghum moU*ser; for 40
head. lucrease or diminish the amount
to correspond with the number you wish
to treat.
How to prepare for tue: Boil thor
oughly tho worm&ccd. tobacco und sor
ghum together, adding 2 gallons of
water. Steep the Senna iu a gallon of
hot water, hut don't boil it much. Mix
all together und stir well Then put
:horti>intou barrel, wet up ami make
slop enough in bulk for all vour hogs to
at »>me. Stir your medicine iu and
ix well
iiow to administer: In the first place,
you should have twoynrdsor j>ersot suit
able sizo to hold nil the lings you wish to
treat. They should l»o adjoining, with a
gate between. Deposit the hogs in jH.n
No. 1 and keep them off feed nnd water
for from twenty-four to thirty hours. By
this time they aro empty and hungry and
so are the worinr, if they have any, nml
ready to eat almost any thing. In | *m No.

all ulong tho troughs, so that all will
have a chance. Ui>eii the gate, and let
them come nnd cat. Shut them all in,
nml keep them there until the medicine
•is nil cleaned up. But don't gi\e preg
nant nows any; keep them away. If
you do it that way, you aro sure of suc
cess. Give the above dose to your hogs
very two month* «.* a preventive.
If vour hogs nr*? sick now, you must
got them to eating some way before the
medicino will <L> thorn any g**xL 1
know of no ltcllor way oi improving
their appetite than to feed cooked
meat, a* 1 indicated in my original
article. If thov have a fever that is
an indication of inflammation. In such
n case, in my judgment, it is useless
for you to spend time on such, but go to
work on thu-o that have not complained.
Prevention is tho bo3t remedy.

Turnips fur Siiiri* Cum*.
S. A. C. lu the Savannah New#.
Compared with some other food ma
terial* may lw very properly styled a
watery, in nutritious vegetable, aud yet
if tho ataicmont of many roliablo writers
on English agriculture ho only half truo
tho turnip lias played a very prominent
|Mirt in* tho cstablifllimeut of Eoglish
prosperity. As u table vegetable It is
very generally grown in all southern
gardens, and It is certainly appreciated
to tlio fullest extent in that respect, but
a* a farm crop it is not ns extensively
planted as it should be. For milch cows,
poultry and hogs it is a Tory desirable
winter and spring food, Thu 7 or 8 per
cent, orgnnic matter of the turnip
contains tho satno nutritive elements
green* clover contain,' and whiio 100
{Kiunds of tumiiw urn not equal in
value to U)u pe".mils of those mentioned.
Imt say the u«Tfi{»* are intrinsically only

the winter yield of milk will not n*mr

the lentfit of green pasture if some suc
culent material equal to green grass ia
not furnished in addition to solid
food, A normal expansion of
the udder cannot bu obtained
without such food, and a perfect condi
tion of health cannot be maintained if it
is *h niod them. It 1s just as essential to
tlio well being of hogs os it is to cows,
nnd it is a well-known f*Ct that where
hogs ha vo a reasonable diet of artich* k s,
potatoas or turni|w In wdntcr and spring
they aro rarely affected- by cholera or
other diacmes, and whnt Ls true of ho^s
i* true of chickens. For the laiter it is
desirable that tho turnip* lie softened by
steaming or boiling. The turnips inay
l*e fed raw to the hogs, and cows should
have a port raw and a part boiled with
cotton seed or other heating food. So
soon as cold weather begins feed your
poultry with wheat and oats nnd
plenty of boiled turnips, nnd they
will give ydU plenty of eggs in return
for it. Try it and see what a difference
it makes. For early use, prior to Decem
ber', sow the cow horn, fiat Dutch and
for later tho Aberdeen nnd ycliow glolie
and ruta-baga and begin to sow in July
and continue to tho middlo of September,
It is a lino crop to precode corn or spring
crop of ryo or oats. Manure tho turnips
well, and the following crop will thrive
on the residue of manure. At another
time v'e will show what s splendid com
bination crop turnips and rye and oata
make.
LombR ami Dry Pastures.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribuns says: Having made a specialty
of sheep and Limbs for several years,
nnd given them the best pasture to excel,
1 have sometimes been disappointed to
find others better with Very poor pasture.
My purchaser explains it this way: He
thinks Hush pastures too loosening to the
bowels, and declares tliat his beat lambs
come from tho dryest and poorest pas
ture, where a novice would expect to
lind nothing lit for the sliambles. I be
gin to think he is right; 1 cau explain my
partial failure in no other way, as I no-
tic j mind are often very loose in their
habits. My fowls run freely among my
sheep, winter nml summer, and I am not
troubled at all with ticks. 4 I have often

any of you ever see a grassy piece of
cotton affected with rust? 1 never did,
I find that I liavo cotton in latter port of
Mar and first of June, say about knee
high, which will get slightly grassy; and
while clearing it out, say start hoes to
be followod by swops; bare work inter
rupted for Koveral days. I havo seen it
die of rust to tho very row, and that with
gras* in it seems to possess immunity.
This is a hard doso to prescribe gra.v* in
moderate doses. I am not old enough td
say why the grass does it, but tlie fact
stares at me that this is a sovereign cure
for nut. aud in the future perhaiw some
one will be able to locate ju»t why and
how. Probably rye sown upon lands
subject to rust would remove tlie
cause. If ryo sown at laying by
will mnko a winter posture for stuck
and then protect tho following
crop, it will soon prove a double
blessing to the cotton field. I am a
