Fancy Farmers.
Lnncaster'F'.i-uior saja that
no tluss of men havu been ridicnl
ed so much, ii ml none have done
no tuuch good us tliose wbo’are
noniinuted fnifty lumur-V- They
havo been, iu ull times and cotin
tnea, the benefactors of the men
who have treated them with dtl'i.
son. They have experimented for
the good of the world, while others
have simply worked for their
own good. They tested theories
while others raised crops for mar-,
ket. They have given a dignity
and glory to t.ho occupation of
farming it never had before.
Fancy farmers have changed the
rvild hog into the Suffolk and Berk
shire; the wild cattle of Britain into
Shorthorns—tlm mountain sheep,
with'its lean body and hair fleece,
into the Southdown and Merino.
They brought up the milk of cows
trom [dots to gallons They have
lengthened the sirlom of the bul
lock, enlarged the ham ol the hog,
given strength to the shoulders of
the o.r, rendered finer tho wool of
the sheep, added flcolness to the
horse, and made beautiful every
animal that is kept iu tho service
of man. They have improved and
hastened the development of all do
mestic animals, till they hardly re
semble tho animals from which
they sprang.
Fancy farmers introduced irriga
tion and under-draining,also grind
ing and cooking food for stock.
They havo brought gnano from Fo
nt and nitrate of soda from Chili.
They introduced and domesticated
nil the plants we have of foreign
origin. They brought out tho the
ory of the rotation of crops an a
natural means for keeping up and
increasing the fertility of the soil,
they t‘uat ground up gypsum and
fames, and treated the iuttei' with
acid to muke manures of peculiar
value, jftiey first analyzed soils an
a means of determining wimt was
wanted to increase tlioir fertility.
They introduced thu most, approved
methods of raising and distribut
ing 1 water.
Fancy farmers or fancy horticul
turists have given ua all our varie
ties of fruits, vegetables and flow
ers. A fancy fanner, iri Vermont,
a few years ago originated tho Ear
ly Rose potato, which added mil
lions of debars to thu wealth of the
country, and proved a most impor
tant accession m every part of the
worll where introduced. Another
of tlieso same fancy men originated
the Wilson straw berry,and another
the Concoid grape.
A gentleman hud five daughters,
the first of whom married a man
by the name of Boor, the second a
Mr Little, the third a Air Short,
the fourth a Mr Brown, the fifth a
Mr Hogg. At tho w edding of the
latter h r sisters and their Ims
bands wore there, and the old gen
tleman said to his guests; ‘T have
taken pains to edueat .• daugh
ters that they might not well their
part in life and do honor to my
family. Iti .and that all my pains,
care and expectations have turned
out nothing but a Poor, Little,
Short, Brow n, Hogg.
Alexander II! has promotod to
a captaincy the young lieutenant
who wrapped his own mantle
around tho wounded Czar just af
ter (he explosion. It was iu this
mantle that the wounded man was
taken to tho Winter Palace. I
have bought you a now cloak, s .id
the young Czar to tho soldier. I
shal! keep tlip o "tier. He has also
given the youth a 'present of 1,200
roubles.
The Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger says that there will be suits
brought to the extent of over two
hundred thousand dollars worth of
the most valuable and eligible prop
erty in Macon, some of winch was
sold unnecessarily during the war
tor Confederate, money. Other
cases go back as far as 1843 or ‘44.
Tile Perry Home Journal says;
In the Superior Court here last
week there was a case in which one
farmer prosecuted anothei for hir
ing a farm hand that was already'
under contract for the year. The
jury gave .a verdict, for the plaintiff
and the court imposed a fine of
thirty dollars and costs.
Carloads of hay are being receiv
ed at Cartersville every week, which
readily sells at $2 00 per hundred.
Western meat sella for 12 cents per
pound, and corn for $1.25 per bush
el.
A recent writer advises that girls
who wish to have small, prettily
shaped mouths should repeat at
frerjuent intervals during the day,
“Fanny Finch fried five flouudei
| ing ti-iti of Fiancis Fowler's father.*
Why Some People fail to
Succeed-
They ttre lazy.
They uegleet,di“tal!s.
They overlook the small things.
They have no eye to business.
They hope for fortune to drop in
their laps.
They let their help waste and de
stroy.
They h-t, their fires burn at will.
They are slovenly in their hab
its.
They let thcir.jsliops get filthy
and dirty.
They try how cheap they cau do
everything.
They fail to advertise.
They have too much outside
business.
They talk politics too much.
They fail to invent or have new
ideas.
They arc penny wise and pound
fooli h.
They imitate their neighbors,
They are not polite or accommo
dating.
They think most things take too
much trouble.
They fait to push business.
They know not tho best is the
cheapest.
They know not the power of
method.
They arc illiberal to home enter
prises.
'They attend to everything but
their own business.
They bocume rusty and lose am-.
Lition.
A Marvelous Sight-
Ellsworth (M0. ,1 American,
For several weeks past, the wes
tern part of Penobscot has beon
soinhwhat excited jo ver what appears
to boa line of clothes about two
hundred feet high in the air. The
garments are clearly distinguish*'
bio, consisting of sheets, shirts and
other articles Usually sen m a
washing. It lias been frequently
seen, anil it seldom appears with
the same vario y of articles of cloth
ing. Tho strangest thing about
thiH fctruugo phenomenon is that it
is visible only through a few panes
of glass in the house of Air Charles
Feruham.
An Ambitious Pullet.
Mr Her eit K Brown, formerly
of this city,but now living at Gria
woldville, presented thie oilieo yes
terday with a pullet's egg that
ought to make any full grown hen
sick with envy. She is the prop
erty of of &Lr W 31 Kitchen**, and
her egg measures eight inches ono ,
way, and six and hve eights tho
other. If she can keep this thing
up through the summer, she ought
to have a special prize at the State
lair m October. —Macon Telegraph
and Messenger,
We find the following oasis in
the Columbus Enquirer: A mer
chant of our city a jew days since
visited his plantation iu Stewart
county, a distance of forty miles.
He has traveled ihe road for sever
al years arid is familiar with the
country. On leaving tho city he
determined to count the number ot
fields on the route planted in cotton.
The result of nis observations were
that for a distance of forty miles
only two fields were planted in cot
ton, tho others biing in corn and
small grain.
The Cuthbert Appeal says a rath
jority in that section insist that
t-wotihirds of a fruit crop is in
sight.
