Where Reform Will Do iuost
Good.i
Women as a class usually succeed
with anything the- undertake. Indi
vidually some make a ead failure in
life, but when they woik all together
they generally succeed. If the wom
en all over Georgia take the matter of
a state reformatory for young crimi
nals into their hands, before long we
will have one. There are hundreds
of good mes ready to back them in
th undertaking, and even now many
of our legisdatois are looking with fa
vor upon the establishment of one.
Hut it is not of a state reformatory
we iviah to write just now, it is of
so etliing which concerns the women
more personally.
Why do wo need a state reforma
tory ? Is it not for want of reforms at
home ? Every young criminal in the
penitentiaries today reflects upon
some home. We hear it said the
world is bad It is the homes that
make the world. If every home was
right the world would be right. Thai
is a serious and solemn statement, and
siiu possibly which places too much
responsibility upon the parents, but
we. think not. They have immortal
souls in their keeping aud too much
cannot be said of the responsibility.
M ost, parents think much of the
care of the hotly. They see to it that
their children are well fed and com
foi tsblv clothed. They think some
thing of the care of the mind, but
very liitlo thought is apparently given
iu many families to the. care of the
immortal soul. Ii is such a little thing
and can’t be seen, people forget a : out
it. Parents who don’t like to see thVr
children going aoout in shabby clothes
how will they feel to see them come
before the judgement with shabby
souls. The lack of training wo often
-e“ in the young is something appal
ling Untrained children grow up to
lie bad, or to say the least, very
indiffrent men and women.
If it is Cont act with the world that
makes the boys go wrong, what right
have they white young to have so
much contact r.-illi the world ? If par
ents provided entertainments for their
children at homo they would not seek
it in the world so early. If it was left
'to the children to select their own
I food it wouid usually be of a verv un
wholesome character, and if it is left
to then to find their amusements it
will surely be of an evil nature. Many
mothers sew arid cook and work for
their children all day long but never
think it necessary to amine them one
half hour. A child bears the in.print
of its mother all its life.
A lady, speaking of two brothers
•she had met who left their faraway
Canadian homo when only boys and
came south to enter into business, and
were thrown most closely with people
of a very worldly type, and yet devel
into men f such high Christian char
acters they had an influence for good
upon all around them, said; “f often
thought what a good mother they
must have had.”—Clarksville Adver

THE NORTE ASTERN
It is most likely that the General
Assembly will pass a bill providing
for the sale of the State’s interest in
the Northeastern railroad and as Gov
ernor Atkinson tn his last message
recomeuded such legislation be wil
most probably approve the bill.
The question that naturally follows
is, who will buy the road? Many be
iieva that the Richards syndicate will
be the purchasers, while others con
tend that so far the operations of that
particular combination of Eastern
capitalist have been of such a charac
ter as to lead to the conclusion that
their plan of railroad development is
wild eotty. We have never seen or
heard of any conduct on ihe part of
Mr. Hi:hard’,s syndicate that warran
ted the latter opinion, bill on the con
trary h ive seen evidences of the ut
most sincerity in the development, of
their projected railroad, (Tennessee,
Georgia & Atlauticjas for instance the
receipted bills for the advertising ol
the application for a charter, the
signing of contracts with parties tor
the road bed construction an.l vali
ens other details incidental to prelim
inary railroad building.
Then again the Southern Railway
Cos. may bcomo a bidder, as the
Northeastern is their natural cornice
ion with this city. It is rumoied
that the ’ Augusta J and Chatanooga
projectors and their Illinois Central
backers will also be in the market as
the road‘fills a part in their program.

FUll'l'l I.IZISUS
to select for our various soila and crops,
to bo usoil in conjunction with these
renovating crops and with a judiciously
chosen crop rotation, in building up our
lands. If we could by judicious man
agement and feeding produce all tho
manure wo need on our farms, this
question would bo forever settled, but
this lias been found impossible. Under
present conditions the need for commer
cial fertilizers is real, but the onoriuous
sums spent for this artificial plant food
may be considerably reduced, if we ap
ply ourselves to more carefully consid
ered and more judicious methods. Our
great, mistake has been that we havo
depended entirely on commercial fer
tilizers to supply the gradually dimin
ishing fertility of our farms, whereas
they should bo regarded and used only
as adjuncts to a careful system of ma
nuring and rotation. They havo al
ways been found to give best results
when the soil is well filled with organic
matter, and as mentioned before, this
condition can be best maintained by a
syst< m of green manuring—that is
planting leguminous crops, cutting a
part for stock feed, and turning under
tiio residue for “laud feed.”
GENERAL RULES FOR FETILIZINO.
In buying our fertilizers, two points
should engage our attention and study
—the needs of tho laud, and the nods
of the crop to be grown. A few of tho
most important facts bearing on these
two questions aro all that may be at
tempted in the limits of this article, but
the farmer who interests himself will
find that there is a wide field for invest
igation, and that the variations of re
sults, according to different plans of
management, and difference in soils
and local conditions, are almost limit
less.
Asa general rule, however, it will be
found that our sandy soils will require
all three elements, nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash, while clay soils usually
contain some portions of the mineral
elements. A sob rich in humus is some
times lacking in the mineral elements.
A limestone soil generally contains a
good deal of phosphoric acid. Of course
the most certain way of finding out
what the soil needs is to make the soil
itself answer the question by experi
menting with different crops and differ
ent fertilizers, but as a general rule,
farmers are averse to undertaking these
experiments,regarding them as too com
plicated and too expensive. They have
preferred to “trust to luck,” and havo
lost thousands of dollars by following
one fixed rule of fertilizing for all crops
and all lands alike.

Horse SnfTorlng From
Question - . —I have a fine young horso
which has lately developed a short
wheezing cough, and when driven out
of a very slow gait, seems to breathe
with diiii nl Iy. ins breathing then being
short and fast. What nils him, and
what can 1 do to euro him?
Answer.— You: - animal undoubtedly
is suffering from what is called heaves
or broken wind. This disease is caused
by ruptured or enlarged air cells of the
lungs, and is consequently incurable, as
no medical seienco can repair those
bursted cells. The best that you can
ilo is to lessen the evil, by paying strict
attention to the food of the animal.
Don’t give large quantities of hay or
fouder, but feed liberally of oats with a
small quantity of fodder. The idea is
to distend the stomach ns little as pas
sible, as to do so in such cases is always
harmful. Always dampen the oats and
fodder before feeding. Bran mashes
are also good. By feeding carefully as
suggested, the trouble will no to some
extent alleviated, and the animal ren
dered more serviceable, though you can
never hope for a cure.—State Agricult
ural Department.
Cabb iga J'lu-ita.
Question. —Enclosed find some worms
and a moth which produces them. The
worms have seriously injured our cab
bages and turnips, eating off the tops.
Please name them and KIV( . a renudy
against them.
Answer. —The insect is called the
Cabbage Plusia. It works groat injury
to many garden crops, but especially to
cabbages and turnips. The female moth
(dark grayju color, with a blight spot
near tho middle of each frout wing,)
deposits her eggs either singly or in
clusters on the upper surface of tho
cabbage leaves. Tho eggs soon hatch,
and the young worms begin at once to
devour the leaves and to boro small,
irregular holes in tho cabbage head In
this section thoie are several broods of
this destructive insect each season. The
moths usually fly at night, but may
sometimes be seen flitting about during
u cloudy day. To get rid of them, dust
upon the plants pirothrum, (insect pow
der) mixed with throe times its bulk of
flour. They may also bo destroyed by
spraying with kerosene emulsion.—State
Agricultural Department.
I'olaouoim riant*.
Question. —Are there any plants pois
onous to tho human touch?
Answer —Fortunately thore aro but
few plants that cannot be handled with
impunity. The poisoning, or poison
oak, a climbing vine, is one of tlieso.
Few persons can handle this plant with
out finding themselves poisoned, and
somo are so susceptible to It that if they
evon pass near it they are affected.
Thou tliero is tho poison sumac, tho sap
of which, getting on the skin, will cause
painful blisters. Some varieties of
mushrooms are also very poisonous,
even to handle and cause death
if eaten. There are quite n num
ber of plants that are poisonous if
eaten, and doubtless many mysterious
cases of death among cattlo or horses
might he traced to this causo.—State

after taking ono-hai/ bottle of the Nervine
I could sleep all night just as well as lever
did. The Nervin'■ is tho only remedy that
