The building of railroads, and the
erection of so many saw mills have
greatly demoralised the farm labor in
the country. Of course a farmer cannot
compete with theso enterprises in the
w ay of wages, and yet in the long run, i
place on the farm is better, more pleas
ant than at theso other industries, as
they are abort lived. But Sambo don't
The Confederate Veteran Magazine,
published monthly at $2 per year, At
lanta, Ga., is intended as a medium
of intercommunication between Con
federate soldiers, war stories and remiu
licences of camp and Bold service. The
old guard are rapidly passing away, and
in order to secure and put into a more
enduring form the memories of that
fearful struggle this magazine has boon
established. Ti en* is a vast amount of
unwritten history in the minds of tin*
old veterans of Georgia which ought to
sec tho light. _
The political economist is a queer in
dividual or it least adopts queer methods
to resell certain conclusions, t here are
but few places in the world where the
ordinary farm products can be produced
with so little labor as in the Southern
part of the United State*. and yet the
farmer does not realize half the price of
these products when sold to the con
sumer. To remedy this evil the so-called
economist demands that buavy duties
be levied on foreign agricultural pro
ducts in order to protect home prc tuc-
tion. They are either culpably ignorant
or seek to willfully mislead the farmer.
If there wore a tariff duty of 100 per
cent, laid ou cotton, pork, beef, wheat,
outs and corn, it would not affect the
.price which the farmer would receive
one cop{<er, simply Lccuuw we exputt
these commodities and tho price is in
dependent of any foreigu importation.

This is the name of a new enterprise
started in Atlanta by members of the
alliance. W. H. Burgess, it announced
at editor and R. L. Burks, secretory of
the state alliance, os manager. The edi
tor soys: “We do not think wt are tres
passing upon anybody** field.**
» Upon the subject of politics the editor
says:
“The question of the politician is, 'are
the farmers going into politics Y We an
swer, no. The farmers have always been
in politics, and it is not probable that
they will step out because they are or-
vani i for the first time in history.
The faimer* of Georgia have elected all
the men to office in the state since our
earliest recollection, while the politicians
have mado all the uominations,and then
exhorted our brother farmers to stick to
tho f>arty for party’s sake.
' “It i« a duty evorr farmer owe* to
country and state to see that good and
competent men nra put in office—men
who have the interest of the people at
heart, and not the interest of corpora-
tionannd syndicate*. ”
FACIbTfROM THE 1FARM.
In the December number of the South
ern Farm, published in Atlanta and un-
-« r the general direction of the lamented
Grady, is a collection of facts from a
largo number of farmers as to what wijl
iiiuko farming pay. We select a few
statements which are full of suggestions;
JAMES K. GAMMON.
1. To make farming pay is to never
buy anything for farm use that you can
raiso at home.
2. Do not buy anything for farm or
family on a credit; pay cash for what
you get und discount your bills.
3. When ycu pitch your crops go as far
as the manure pile will let you and then
stop, A few acres without manure will
nun tho profit on the manured crop,
4. Never plaut cats ou land two year*
in succession, unless you use a heavy ap
plication of cotton seed the second year.
5. Hire the most intelligent labor you
cau fiud in your community; never pay
them in order at store; pay cash nnd de
mand good labor in return; take some
good agricultural paper and keep up with
progress of fanning.
-I. T. DENNIS,
1. rotfon is the best money crop for
middle Georgia, provided all supplies are
made at home.
2. .Sorghum is the best crop for feeding
mules and cattle from June until frost,
nnd cniiingo the best for milch cows from
November to June,
S. Sweet potatoes gathered any time
after OcL 10 during a dry spell, housed
and covered with straw nnd dry sand or
dirt, will keep until the next crop is
gathered.
4. Fork can be raised for 24 cents per
pound gross on bran, corn meal and but
termilk, and should bo butchered at from
nine to twelve months old.
5. Farming on middle Georgia uplands
will pay $1,000 or more per horse, grow,
if managed skillfully.
8 .a. Coox, M1IJ.IDOEVILLE, GA.
1. That a due regard for imptoved
postures and meadow* is indispensable
to that success that tho Southern farmer
should aspiro to and readily attain.
2. That oats sown in the thirty days
following Sept. 15 on a well pulverized
surface, the reed harrowed it\ nnd the
land properly rolled is as sure a crop as
any in our latitude, and isa jrery profita
ble one.
3. That pure ground bone and cotton
seed meal at present prices U the
cheapest fertilisers that a farmer can
buy, after utilizing the pea to its fullest
extent and saving all the manure on the
farm.
4. That it hi ruinous beyond any possi
ble benefit to be derived to allow lands,
whether stubble or pasture, to be tram
pled by stock (or turned by the plow)
when the soil is wet.
5. That the eight great forage plants
for the South are; Bermuda. Jonnson
grass, Texas blue graze, meadow oat, red
top, meadow fiscue. burr clover, sorg
hum, with tho aid ot which we can raise
the cheapest beef and pork in the world.
W. J. BURP ITT, DEKALB COUNTY, NEAR
ATLANTA.
1. The foundation of a good farm is a
good inauure heap. Msnuro from stall-
red cattle, say on oil cake, cotton cake,
flaxseed, etc., is much more valuable
than from grass and fodder. The manure
heap should have a roof orer it and all
liquid msnuro should bo saved.
2. K??J! scod nf livo »I nr If. It
costs no more to keep good stock thun
common, and although the first cost may
be considerably higher, yet the ultimate
gain much more than repay*.
3. The method of changing crops in
proper succession is the beet means of
building a farm. I would suggest the
three course system, viz.: First crop,
rout*—Mangold wurtzel (cattle beet),
Swede, turnips (rutabagas) or potatoes.
For nil above crops manure heavily with
good barnyard multure. Clear the
ground thou for second crop. Sow wheat,
outs or k>iuo other grain crops so us to
allow the sowing of clover or grass, or
both. Fine crops may be expected, and
when clover la dene tho land is again
le idy to receive any crop.
4. It is beneficial to wheat to allow
sheep to feed it down when eight to ten
inche* high; it causes it to spu-ad; the
sheep assist by top dressing the land.
Sheep aro excellent adjuncts to storm.
5. Georgia soil con bu worked advan
tageously to any reasonable depth. D.*-p
cultivation ana heavy manuring com
bined is a great thing on agriculture. Do
not plough to extreme depth at once, but
do it by successive plougUings. If the
soil is ploughed ue*>p it will nlworb very
much more rain witbout washing.
A real gold mine is what the Poultry
Wo*Id considers the following maxims
to be worth to auy poultry man who
will “live up to them: “Practice scru
pulous cleanliness. Lime is cheaper than
roup, ami fumigation inure profitable.
Underrcwliug is expensive. Overfeeding
is false lireraiiton. Sunlight is as neces
sary as corn. Carbolic acid U cheaper
than cholera. Exercise is cheaper thun
medicine. Fresh water B abundant and
cheap. The lieu is a scratching bird; let
her scratch. Now is the most iiuportuut
word in the dictionary.”
It 14 said that u piece of cloth saturated
with turpentine and bung in acKeet
where tiiero are moths, or in a room
where Hies are troublesome, will kill the
moth-miller and banish the flics. Twenty
drof* of carbolic acid evaporated from a
hot shovel will go far to banish flies from
a room, while a pieeo of camphor gum
the tdze of a walnut, held over a Ump
until it is cousumed, will do the same for
tbs active mosquito.
A ItrnisrksMs Cow.
The following was translated from the
New York Staatezcitung, a German pa
per. and sent to tho 0leaner by Mr. A
Itoteutlial of Swepsonville:
“A remarkable cow was lately
hibited nt the county fair in Franklin,
Pa. She was of the llolstein-Fieesisb
race and belonged to a farmer in Craw *
ford county and excels in the production
ct mus anything ii«*nww» known.
According to sworn affidavits she fur
nished in 31 successive days 125 pounds
and 12 ounces butter from 1.772$ pounds
talik, requiring therefore for men pound
ot butter 14 2-12 pounds milk. Tbs aver
•ge (Koduct for the 31 dajs was 4 pounds
per day. In seven successive days site
gave 400$ pounds milk, or $1 pounds 16)
ounces butter, or an average of 4 pounds
91 ounces butter per day. In four suc
cessive days she oalv lacked 3$ ounces
on 5 pounds butter.**

Some Valuable Information for
sln Farmt-ra.
Governor Gordon, who has a stock farm
in Taylor county, sometime ago address'd
the following questions to our follow-cit
izen, Mr. Jackson Roberts:
1. What I'roods liave you tested and
which do you prefer?
2. What breed is most active and
thrifty—that ia, what treed will work
most diligently for a living and com**
nearest finding a support on a general
range?
3. What breed is most prolific, and
how many pigs of that breed would bo
an average* litter?
4. At what price can you sell me one
two sow pigs for a beginning?
Of course this was intended as a r ri-
»s.!e inquiry, but as mere people tnan
the governor are interested in the an
swer to these questions, Mr. Roberts has
k indly consented to answer them through
the Telegraml The following is his
renly:
Macon, Ga., 1889.—Hon. John B.
Gordon, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: Yours
of a late date asking my opinion as to
raising bogs is to hand. I wish to say
in reply to your question as to “what
breeds I have tasted and which I prefer,”
that I have tried tho Berkshire, Big
Guinea and Jersoy Reds, besides the .na
tive stock. 1 also like the Poland p. bins.
The Jersey Red erased on the Berkshire
make very fine hogs, and most that 1
have now are of this cross.
In reply to the second question I would
say, any breed of hoga raised around the
barn or mill and fed on slops or corn will
be more or less lazy. The same hogs,
if left to themselves and put on s range,
will work for and make a living, pro
vided the rauge affords it.
As to the third question I would say,
that eitltor o( the breeds mentioned above,
if well looked after, will hart pigs
enough to giTe them all they can attend
to. My opinion is that small, young
sows should not have more titan six, and
large, matured sows notjraore than eight
pics Io raise nt a time. There it great
difference in the quantity of milk given
by sowa and my rule is to notice ckeely
and when I find a sow does not give
much nourishment to get ndjof her ns a
breeder. Some of the finest looking , j_r ~_ ~ ,—-

Holton, Jan. 2, 1889.
Nun Worth Crarklns.
If the cotton crop of 1889 is as large as
that of 1888, 49,000,000 yards of lagging
will be required to wrap the crop.
If tho cotton is wrapped in jute
$4,900,000 will pass out of the planter’s
bands.
If the cotton is wrapped in cotton bag
ging $1,900,000 will remain insido the
Mn*§ of the cotton states to be added to
the ciiculating medium.
The making of 49,000,000 yards of cot
ton bagging will consume 100,000 bales
of cotton, which decreases the number
of boles for market and enhances the
value of the remainder one-fourth per
pound, making the gam to the planters
$8,565,000.
The J. R. Adams factory can puts
bale of cotton into its spinning room for
$6.77 less than it can be laid down in
Lowell. Mass.
If tlw cotton was spun in the South
$47,390,000 would be saved in |tbe
freight charges, etc.
A better day is coming, for in 1887 the
produot of the Southern cotton mills was
$48,030,000 against $1,000,000 in 188a
It is a fact worthy of strong emphasis
that cotton mills are increasing more
rapidly in the South than anywhere else.
Common sense will, at no dutant day,
compel the spinning of raw matccjal
where it can be done the cheapest.
The way to have cheap goods is to
make them at the least expend.
The cotton of 1889, if sold as hereto
fore. will give the planters $300,000,000;
if wholly manufactured in the South the
great sum of $1,000.000,00a

A FAIRY TALE, (?)
In the great province of Aigroeg there
were many line cities, but non** that
could excel No* am. Beautifully located,
with every natural advantage call ulate I
to benefit a city. Nocam grew and ]>roe-
pered. Its go\ eminent was vested in a
nody ofWi&u Men, selected by the citi
zens, and presided over by a bead man
called tho Rnynm. At regular times
these Wise Men held “Big Talks" and
discussed matters which they supposed
would beneht the city. Communica
tions and petitions wrote received, and
sometimes acted on, at these “BigTalks."
On one occasion a communication was
received and read from come of the
“Medicine 3Ien,” stating that on the out
skirts of the city a fearful Dragon had
beer, found. It hod a long body and
many limbs, and was of a bright green
color, interspersed with many spots of a
darker hue, and the scales on its back
were many and large. It was still too
young to have wings of a size sufficient
to move around far from its nest, but it
was growing every day. On this account
it bad not been able to do much damage,
but whenever a poor citizen residing
near by inhaled the breath of the Dragon
its fearful odor and strength would
speedily overcome him, and the “Medi
cine Men” would find great difficulty in
saving his life.
Tho “Medicino Men” could not slay the
Dragon, as lie would not take their po
tions, and he was too cunning and strong
for them. Therefore they appealed to
the “Wise Men” to take some measures
lor the extermination of the monster
before be would grow large enough to
tly over the dty and slay as many of the
inhabitants as would satisfy liis blood-
tbiri>t\ nature.
Oo the reading of this communication
before tho “Wise BIcn" gnat talk fol
lowed. One old “Wise Man,” who lived
some dh-tince from the monster, said
that be did not think that there was any
danger to be apprehended from tho
Drason, as he always appeared to be
sit* p ng, and he wa* not growing very
fast, us ne certainly did not appear to be
much larger than when “Old Wise Man”
wasn boy and played quite near him
day after day.
It was true that his body was growing
greener and his breath was stronger,
but then people could very easily keep
out of his way.
i When the question was asked him ns

offer- had last st« » the monster he admittdd

brought to the Royam that tlie Dragon
was raging throughout ths place, and
many of tbe inhabitant* were being
seized and devoured by him.
The “‘Medicine Men” ware lighting him
but they were powerless to resist his
might and many of them liad already
fallen beforo him. The Royam at once
summoned the “Wise Men” to a “Big
Taik." A majority of tbe “Wise Men”
respoodedbut the Old WUe31an who had
»|n>krn slightingly of the Dragon failed
to api*‘*r. and when the Royam inquired
he found that tbe Old Wise Man had been
among tne first seized by the monster.
Thu “Big Talk” opened nud various
methods to control and chain the Dragon
were discussed.
Tho “Mediciue Men” were called upon
for their advice. They replied that they
knew of no way to entrap the monster
at once. They would willingly do what
they could. Ho should have been at-
ti nded to years before when they first
drew- the attention of the “Wise Mon” to
him. He was then young and weak and
rould have been easily managed. Now
lie was no strong and they could only
u ait until the trosts of winter chilled
him and caused him to return to his
nest when be might le chained whilst
he s let’L
fa tat MmtM the citizens, rich and
poor alike now, strove to evade the mon
ster. Many of the richer ones t -ok their
entire families sod left the city. Many
even of the* WueMen” forsook therr
UUkt&ni moved with their families to
l.uJ. ring towns to wait until the
frosts of winter should make the Dragon
seek his nest.
Workshops and places of business were
closed and uenolaiion and gloom spread
over the erstwhile flourishing city.
Tho Dragon slew young and old, the
good and the wicked.
Tbe suffering* of those of the citizens
who remained were fearful
Tire horrors of that time were never to
be forgotten.
Years of prosperity would never re
pay them for the losses of that one sum
Finally, when winter at last came—
and how tardy teemed its coming that
year—Nocam was a changed city.
Its population reduced one-half, and
they duhtertend and downcast!
Those who had been induced by tbe
Trumpet Blowers to become citizens of
Nocam cried out tliat they had not been
fairly dealt with.
Had they known that so fearful a
monster resided so near the dty they
never would have brought their loved
ones to become Us prey.
And now that the monster, satiated by
the thousands be liad destroyed and
chilled by the cold Masts of winter,
slept once more in his nest, the ‘ Wise
Men” vigorously went to work and
adopted the proper measures to aubduv
him.
This they should have dt n j at first

To Mop 1*1 n» Woods Fire*.
• Pino woods fires in the South are eas
ily managed when thr re u not much
wind and when thrrr are not many dead
standing old pine trees. Even when
there is wind tho fires arr- more manage
able in the woods than on prairies, the
timber and the undergrowth checking
i and preventing the flames from
extending ahead in long tongues as in
pnkhgrus
I JThe follow ing facts will bear repeat
ing yearly where forest fires msy oicur:
We havo succeeded in checking woods
fires with a larrel of water on a horce
cart—about fifty gallons of water and a
garden sprinkler. One band drives the
horse and hands out the water to the
sprinkler, who walks slang on tbe line
of the fire, sprinkling the water before
him as he advances. Another follows
with the top of a small pine sapling aud
beats out any fire that may spring up
after the sprinkler.
The forest fires usually have only a
thin layer of leaves to consume, and be
hind tho fire line the fire immediately
expires
Two or three barrels of water, with
sprinklers, and threo hands to each,
could go along on the woods roods, in
advance of the fires, and wet the straw,
which tho fire would not pas:—the three
carts and nine hands constituting a fire
brigade to meet tbe fire whatever they
ini Hit be most needed. A single cart
and fifty gallons of water may put out a
line of firo a mile in length.
By having a barrel of water at the
well always full at the season of the year
when there is danger of fires, located on
a frame with rollers, and on a stand or
table just as high as a horse cart, it may
be easily and quickly placed on the cart.
A plug and sprinkler could be rigged
in the hind end of the barrel, to be
started at tho fire, and the leaves
sprinkled as the horse pulls the cart,

spread around the roots of peach trees
will keep them in a thrilty condition,
and in some instances wifi restore to

2. That kerosene oil and snlt mixed is
the most valuable insect exterminator I
have ever used. If linn roosts ore washed
with it regularly it will exterminate
mites and Tice.When badly infested
dip a cloth in the mixture, squeeze nearly
dry and rub lightly on the neck feather's
of fowls. It will also prevent cholera,

much with water, sprinkle on pigs
affected with measles, fleas or lice and tt
will be found very kon-jflci.il.

The fnif In a Nutshell*
From th* Memphis Amljncbr.
George W. Cablo has a letter written
to the Nashville American regarding the
comments of that paper on his recent
affiliation with negroes in Na&hviile. He
asks the American to print a “brief but
conrteous turd specific statement'’ of tlVe
points which he “regards as deserving of
public senti merit,” and ho will reply as f al
ly as ho can. '1 he American's r eply is suf
ficiently “brief” and as “courteous” os
the truth will admit. “We bare said in
substance.” repeats the American, “that
as Mr. Cable lias signified iris preference
for the society of negroes by meeting
and mingling with them in a social w*ay
it will herealter be expected of him that
he abide the consequences of his own
choice. In the South a man must choose
between white and black, and Mr. Cable
has chosen.”
This seems lo us to cover iiie cace ns
fully as it could be covered. The Ameri
can reflects the sentiments of every de
cent white man in the South.
