'i lie nilici day, a Northern ram,
in the hearing ol (lie writer, let
liiiii'ipH’ loose ttjtcm us after tills i
fashion:
*• It seems t me tl.atyn i pc.>| le
in the Cut toil iug Slates man
age B>iiue\vlial strangely. Vnti
spend hsil u the spring ami all j
(it Oie summer in fighting and ties- j
troy iug grass, a;.d when yu liave \
succeeded in des!trying it all, you
send clear away down to the Mate
of Maine and liny dried gr.ss it ;i
cost of two cents per pound to,
subsist your stock. Now, so near- j
ly as I can judge, your planters j
do not make two cents a pound ;
net on cotton at thirty cents in j
your market; and thus a bale of j
Kit stem hv nn your plantations j
will about offset a bale of Cotton
in the pocket of the farmer.
“From what 1 know of Middle
Georgia, 1 should say that you can
beat Maine out of sight iti making
hay. Grass don’t take a start in
Maine till from the first to the mid
dle of Juno, and th.is before-grass
lx gins to grow in Maine, you
Georgians c.-uhl stuff your barns
so full of hay and tuner, at a
cost i ot exceeding an eighth of a
cent per pound, that you might
air r,i to ship hay to M lino, if the
Maine men would only consent to
pay the price for it which you pay.
“ Hut if you will not raise liay,
whii h, to the extent, at least, of
yout own necessities,you can raise
more prnffiably than cotton, tell
me, in the name of good sense,
vhv you refuse ,to gather grass
which comes in your corn fields
indigenously after the crop is laid
by, and which is much better for
stock than the musty and falsely
packed stuff which ordinarily
comes to your niarKet ?”
We have e t Vet framed our re
ply to the V • kee. Will some ■ f
(.nr rc:rdc:t> help us ? It is a case
of difficulty. Macon Telegraph.
A Larue Farm —Richard King,
who frequently rusticates in Den
\er, is the owner and occupant
of Santa Kain.tis Ranch, in North
ern Texas. The ranch or planta
tion consists of nineteen leagues of
land, each league embracing 4,428
acres; on this plantation there
are sixty five thousand head of
entitle; one fourth of this number
an; beeves, one-fourth cows; the
ether Comprises one and two-year
olds. Mr King owns one thousand
saddle horses; employs between
three and four hundred herdsmen;
he also owns seven thousand breed
t. are*, and as many thousand
sheep, lie brands twelve thousand
calves annually. He keeps be
tween eight hundred and a thou
land bulls, or gentlemen bovines
It may bo stated, in this connec
ti n, that upwards of six millions
of beef cattle aie driven from
Texas yearly.
Liquid Manure. —A barrel or
hogshead, for liquid manure, should
be kept in a convenient place in
ail gardens. Plants can only avail
themselves of manure in a liquid
form, and valuable fertilizers are
often lost by remaining undissolv
ed in the ground too long. Dis
solve at the rate of one pound of
pure Peruvian guano, or two
pounds of dry hen manure in ten
gallons of rain water, and apply
to your plants, say once a week,
just at night fall, or before a show
er. The liquid manure should not
fall upon the leaves or stems of
plants, hut should be evenlv
sprinkled over the roots, the
ground having been previously
stirred a little with a pronged hoe.
If the plants are mulched, this
stirring will not be necessary, and
the benefits of the liquid manure
will be more certainly secured.
Givk the Buys a Patch.—One
of the surest methods of attach
ing a loy to the farm is to let
him have something upoU it for
his own. Give him a small plat
of ground to cultivate, allowing
him the proceeds for his own use.
Let him have his steers to break
or his sheep to care for. The
ownership of even a fruit tree
planted, pruned and brought to
bearing by his own hands, will in
spire him with an interest that no
mere reward or wages can give.
In additon to the cultivation of a
taste for farm life which such a
cotr (■ will cultivate, the practical
knowledge gained by a boy will
be of the highest value. Being
interested, lie wi 1 be more obser
vant, and thoroughly learn what
ever is necessary for his success.
Another and eijually important
advantage will be the accustom
ing him early to feel the responsi
bility’.
To lUlocve Kkvkalqia —A New
Hampshire gentleman says : “Take
two large talde-spoonfuU of
cologne and two tc&s-poonfuls of
fine salt; mix them together in a
tonal bottle; every time you have
hii acute affection of the facial
nerves, or neuralgia, simply
breathe the fumes in your nose
from the bottle, and you will be
immediately relieved.”
lowa Chops —The Das Moines
Register says the wheat crop of
lowa will be a fair average this
year, and the corn will be the best
ever produced iti the State.

NOTICE EXTRAORDINARY !
TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS 1
A SOLUBLE FERTILIZER!
Manufacture your own manure at home.
! and learn economy from tlk? experience of
the past year. You can only prim per by
being independent : and to be indc|>endiTit
you mast make what you consnim*. .Ma
nure is no exception to the rule. Huv it,
and you will be poor ; make it, and you
w ill be prosperous.
Mr. A. Smith,a scientific arid practical
farmer, has deposited with me a receipt
for making a Soluble Fertilizer and Gen
eral Invlgorator. It is founded upon the
most approved principles of the chemical
science, and was thoroughly tested by him
be "ore offering it to the public. It differs
from all other fertiliz rs in these essentials:
I. It is almost instantaneous in effect.
11. It is cheap, and can be made at
home without hauling virgin soil or muck
land, which would piy better, if tended
where found.
HI. Seed soaked in a solution of it, no
mole, bird ot worm will touch.
IV. Cotton seed soaked in it, and dried,
will escape worms, and produce a larger
pi >d.
V. If applied as directed, to fruit trees,
it will invigorate them and destroy the
worms.
VI. It hastens the growth of melons
ami vegetables, and gives vigor to thu
vine's of the grape, etc.
Before offeiing tho recipe for rale, 1
carefully compared it with the teachings
of Johnson, Dorter, and other chemists,
ami must say, I regard it a great inven
tion. Kvery farmer, gardener, or fruit
grower, should have it.
Send tk.n not .Lars to the undersigned,

GENERAL CONFERENCE EN
GRAVING.
Before the war. I sold this magnificent
ami inct wparnblc historical church pic
ture at SlO per ropy. I now nfler it to
the friends of the church at 85 per ropy,
and will allow 81 50 per copy commission,
to any who will undertake its sale ; or I
will sell it to clubs of five or more at
8.1.50 per copy.
Every Methodist family in the South
ern States should have a copy of this
beautiful and hallowed pimjrc. Kvery
official hoard in every station in the
church ought (in my humble judgment)
to pocurc a copy, 'ramc it handsomely, auu
hang it in the parsonage. I would say
the same of every Sabbath-school - con
nected with the church: all should have
a copy neatly framed and hang it in lheir
school room. Let us remember and re
vere the memory of the great and good
men of the church, now dead, ami whoso
likenesses are on this picture. If my
friends will take hold und assist me to
sell a large number oT copies of this
charming and attractive picture, they will
confer a great and lasting favor which
will be heartily reciprocated in any and
every way that J may be able to return
their kindness.
I have a recent letter from Bishop
Kavanaugh —he says, “ If you can afford
to sell your beaut'ln I picture on the terms
proposed, and make money by it you will
do u g )od thing for yourself, the church,
and the public. Reducing so fine a pic
ture to so low a price ought to put it in
every Methodist family who are in eir
cumatancis to live in any tolerable com
fort.”
At the time the war broke out, I had
in the hands of a number of my friends in
the Southern States, book* and engra
vings amounting in value, to upwards of
fourteen thousand dollars (814,000)
since the clone of the war I have only
realized of that large amount, about 8400.
Those of my friends who still have an)’
portion of these books and engravings on
hand, will please advise me of the Tact, at
an early day. My address is Dost Of
fice Box 3,328, New York.

[ advocate and disciple of the principles
1 of ’76.

printed, carefully edited journal, each
issue containing an average of 30 columns
of reading matter.
If commends itself particularly to those
who do not enjoy the facilities of a daily
mail, and who desire to have the current
news of the day in a cheap, compact and
reliable form.
The Weekly is made up with great
care and discrimination, and contains the
cream of the Daily Edition of the Morn
ing News. Its extremely low price, its
careful make-up, and the large and varied
amount of reading matter which it con
tains, commend it to all who desire a

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheu
