i'kveland, Georgia, January 31, 1 880.
iT'MrT”!Simmons is a bad naan cast
Lira out.
Our subscription list continues to
prow: that's right firiends come along
and help us.
The exodus seems to bo creating
some excitement, but wo do not think
any great evil to the Southern States
can come of it.
So many mules are being carried
South from the upper Georgia counties,
and so few at present being raised, that
it is feared the supply will fie exhaus¬
ted, and our people will have to import
stock to carry on the iarms.
A printer is human, just as other peo¬
ple are, and he cannot live on air and
water. He needs substantial like bread
and meat and greens, to give him back¬
bone, so that be can look you square in
the face like a man, Subscribe for
your county paper.
It is rumored that Hon. Emory Speer
and Rev. David E. Butler will be the
candidates for congress in this District,
next fall. It will be a tight race as
both are good men.
We learn that the issue will be pro
sented at the next election for Drdinary
of White county, retail licenes or no
retail licenes—and no chance for dodg¬
ing the issue. Let candidates take no¬
tice.
We see from pur exchanges that
Judge Bleckley has resigned his seat as
Supreme Judge, and Martin J. Crofi'ord
jir.8 been appoipted to fill his vacancy.
The city of Havana experienced
earthquake ^hqckpqn the night of Jan¬
uary 22ud ipst There seejns to have
been no lives lost, but a great deal of
fright among the citizens, some of whom
remained in the streets ftl1 night. Two
shocks were felt, the first about eleveu
o'clock at night, and the last about
four o’clock in the early morning. We
think 1880 will be an unusually qvent
fu! year.
ATTEND TO THE FARJf
Among the most pleasing and satis
factory avocations of mankind may be
reckoned farming. The man who, after
he has worked diligently all day upon his
farm, returns at evening to his fireside
and to the bosopi of his family, where
peace and harmony prevail, is among
the happy men of earth. Feeling that
be has been blessed by the hand of a
kind Providence, and that his labor has
not been jn vain, he retires to his rest
and peaceful dreams attend hjs couch.
Awaking with the early dawn, he feels
refreshed, and goes to hi? toil again
with sharpened z.eal, persuaded that he
will at the uroper time, eo^oy the fruits
of his honest endeavor.
Every larmer ought to study his bus¬
iness in o;der to find out how to make
it pay most. He ought to Qnd out
whether it is best to dispose of his sur¬
plus of corn, fodder, shucks and hay,
or feed it to hia stock, thereby fattening
thorn and receive back benefit in fertil ¬
izers. It is important to have good
fertilizers, and we are glad to see so
maoy of our farmers waking up on the
tDbject of fertilization and thorough
cultivation f the soil. Every farmer
can manufacture his own fertilizers in
various ways. Compost heaps are ex¬
cellent and cost little. They will save
from fifty to one hundred per cent, and
are good from one to five years. In tirao
of drought, this kind of manure does
not buj-n up vegetation, but rather
keeps a moisture about the roots of
plants
The man who gives his farm the
necessary attention, keeps his buildings
in goodponditiou, and everything about
bis premises in its proper place, and
feels that be bas defrauded do njan, can
lie down quietly at night and take his
rest, and will tool when his days are
ended, that he has not labored in vain:
Such a man is a happy man, a useful
man, and deserves to be remembered
jjy coming generations.
Fertilizers.
Mauy of our Georgia farmers .do not
attach as much importance ae they
should to the necessity of keeping up
their lands by enriching them- Many
farms in our state are worn oat, and
many are deficient in .certain needful
elements. Farmers should carefully
study their fields. jp Qe field “‘W need
lime, another a rieher manure, while the
orchard and vineyard are benefited by
bones planted close to the roots of trees
viDes. Hoots will grow around and ie/sd
upon them for many years, or until they
are consumed, They can be put in
whole or broken with an axe,
Farmere should collect the vegetable
matter from every nook and corner of
the farm, and incorporate it with the
manure heap, or with swamp mud, lime
and gypsum form a compost heap; col¬
lect leaves. Fork over this compost
once or twice a year and dress th,e land
with it.
The following is a good fertilizer for
the garden ; Hen manure, ashes, plas¬
ter and salt mixed in qual quantities,
except the salt, of which onp'.fojqrth
will be sufficient. Mix and apply either
in the bill at the ^surface, orbrdadeast.
Ashes are beneficial in nearly all
soils. Their action is two-fold : they
supply to the plants inorganic constit¬
uents which they require, and they act
chemic lly as solvents upon other salts
in the soil, or they neutralize acids, etc.
They are more beneficial on eamly and
gravslly lands than on clay. For plants
that contain a larga percentage of pot¬
ash, and phosphoric acid, as carrots,
turnips, potatoes and cabbages, ashes
are an ossentiaf manure,
WEARING OUT LAND.
Continuous cropping will exhaust any
soil. Whatever elements are removed
from the soil by cropping must be re¬
placed in some way, if fertility is main¬
tained. The ability of a soil to produce
well depends upon the chemical constitu¬
ents that are present in it, provided its
mechanical condition is such as to
render these matters available to
plants. These matters or constituents
are the food upon which plant# live,
aud a knowledge of them, combind
asbsjs with tho chf-miCal plants,'suggests composition of the
of different a
rational system of agriculture. The
importance of a judicious succession of
crops iu order to maintain fertility,
in the light of these facts, is at once
apparent. Some props remove a larger
proportion of particular elements than
other, wbije some derive nutriment
from near surface, and gome send their
roots to a greater depth to gather sub
stanpe; hence the importance of follow¬
ing the former with the latter, and of
supplying in the way of manures the
substances necessary to surface growing
plants. Science affords invaluable as¬
sistance to the farmer just here. With
its aid to the exercise of good judgment
wonted fruitfulness may ho restored to
impoverished soils.

CHICKEN CHOLERA.
When fowls do not have access to
sharp gravel or course sand, being fed
too much whole corn, will sometimes
produce cholera- Now damp corn, or
grass which has become succulent after
protracted rains, if fed mostly to fowls,
will produce cholera. Tho gas irom
fermented manure piles will cause it.
If fowls driDk filitby, stagnant water
for a length of time, it will produce
it. \Vheat screenings containing much
smut will get fowls out of condition, if
it will pot produce cholera. Sometimes
when too much potatoes are used with
meal and. wheat bran dongb, cnoiera
will be produced. In using potatoes,
add a tablespoonful each of salt and
cayenue pepper to two gallons of meal
bran and potatoes.
Neat Yoke, January 26 —A Quebec
special says, smee the recent heavy
snow storm, dangerous avalanches have
been falling at intervals from the cliffs
beneath the citadel into the city. In
ode case three children were overwhelm¬
ed by a mass of snow, but were dog
out alive. The bouses fora distance of
two miles along one street are threat
ened wit'i the danger of being
swept away, and the greatest conster¬
nation prevails among their inmates
The stojy is told of a clergyman, that
after preaching an interesting sermon
on tbo ‘-Recognition of Friends iu
Heaven,” he was accosted by a hearer,
who said; “I liked that sermon, and
now I wish you would preach auother
on the recognizing of people in this
world. I have been attending your
ebureh three years, and not five persons
in the congregation has not so much as
bowed to me in all that time."
