llw gtotawi ALEX. CHURCH, Editor. W. B BELL, - - Associate. 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. - --S-**-—— 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." KUto j Cincinnati.
