The result of the primary election in Fulton county, on Wednesday virtually settled the nomination in the Fifth Congressional district. Hon. N. J. Hammond was the victor by over two hundred votes, and, as he said he would do in case he lost the county. Capt. Harry" Jackson withdrew from the race. Speaking of the matter the Atlanta Journal editorially says : Now that the beat and turnmoil ot the political contest which has been raging for some time past in this Congvessianal district, especially in this city, is practically over, we breathe freer in the calm that suc¬ ceeds the storm. The contest yester day between Messrs. Hammond and Jackson was unprecedented in its warmth, vigor, and in the stubborn determination of the friends of both the candidates to win the wreath of victory for their respective favorite. Almost every white vote in the coun¬ ty was brought out, and certainly a more thorough canvass, a fuller ex-, pression of the will of the people, in a primary election was never had before in Fulton county. The de¬ feated as well as the successful can¬ didate have good reason to be grate¬ ful to their friends and followers for the enthusiastic support given, and for the devotion shown to their re spective interests. Notwithstanding the peculiarly exciting nature of this contest the election passed off in a most orderly" manner, the incidents that marred the prevailing order were few and trifling, and our com¬ munity has reason to congratulate itself upon this agreeable feature of the day. The field was stubbornly contested, and Mr. Hammond, the victor, has good reason to feel proud of his suc cess. He has borne himself with dignity and strength during the en¬ tire struggle, and accepted the prize contended for with becoming modes¬ ty and a full appreciation o< the im¬ portance of the trust again placed in his hands by a majority of his fellow citizens. To Mr. Jackson it is due to say that he made a gallant, a brilliant fight. His following was large, de¬ voted, enthusiastic, He held the hearts of many ol his friends with clasps of steel. 3old, aggressive, strenously determined to win, with great difficulties to overcome, and many trials of strength and patience and tact to meet and to master, with all this it was certainly not at all a matter of surprise that the final issue of the fight was a perplexing puzzle to the shrewdest philosopher in poli¬ tics, and that the scales of victory should have long hung doubtful to the last hours of the decisive day. Despite the gallant fight he and his devoted followers made, the bat¬ tle went against him, and by a ma jority of about two hundred votes out of a total of five thousand his reso¬ lute opponent won the hotly contest¬ ed field. This shows the closene.-s and nature of the contest better than words can show. Being defeated, Mr. Jackson re¬ tires with with a grace exceedingly pleasant under all the circumstances and with a mastery of self and a pa¬ triotic submission to (he will of the people which must commend him to the praise even of his most deter¬ mined opponents, and to the warm commendation of all who admire a frank, fearless nature and the mo¬ tives teat illustrate a true democrat and a true American. In gaining the victory over himself he has gained 1 more in another and in an equally | honorable direction than he has lost in the loss of his political ambition. He has borne himself manfully, and in the remarks he made after the re suit ol the contest was made known CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., AUGUST 8, 1884. a genial, bightoned spirit speaks, which will some day be honored in a befitting way and under more favora¬ ble circumstances. Now let the Democracy be true to itself in every contest, local or nation al ; let good feeling and harmony pre¬ vail, let discord and vicious methods be discountenanced and condemned, let the spirit of patriotism be culti¬ vated and the deadly spirit of faction crushed, and we shall see a new era of government in our beloved coun¬ try based on sound principles of and Making: Good Bread. The Massachusetts Ploughman very truthfully asserts that the art ot making good bread is one that every woman should be proud to possess. The progress which has been made during the last 25 years has been very great, especially in New England; but there is yet room for still further improvement, for even now the rule is that the daily bread of the masses is not up to that quality which is best adapted to the promotion of health. That the con¬ stant eating of poor bread causes dyspepsia, is a iact too well known to require any further evidence to prove it, and that dyspepsia is a great cause of irritability is also a well known fact, therefore, in a household where poor bread is the rule, unless the members of it have unusually good dispositions, unpleasant contro¬ versies will be likely to occur. Were we to give advice to a young house keeper we would say, make yourself master of the art of bread making, and thus not only promote the health of the members of the household, but also aid in preventing unpleasant words caused by a disor¬ dered stomach. Our mothers had not the material to make good bread that we have ; the yeast that they used was not as well adapted to the making good bread as that which is now to be had in the grocery stores of the cities and large towns ; or, which any wo¬ man can now learn to make herself from potatoes. The test of good bread is not in its lightness, or its color, but the eon dition it is in while being masticated. If it sticks together while being chewed it is not good bread, whats ever may be its other conditions, but if it readily divides and crumbles in the mouth, it is an indication of good bread, because it readily absorbs the saliva which is so important to assist digestion. There is quite as much art in ba¬ king bread as in preparing it for the oven, for to have it good, it should not only be put in the oven when risen just enough, but it should be put in an oven just the right tem¬ perature ; should the oven be too hot or too cold, the bread will not be as good. To bake it well it must be carefully watched, and if one side of the oven bakes faster than the other, as is frequently the case, turned as often as is necessary to have it bake even. It requires experience to show when to take a loaf of bread from the oven to have it fully baked, and yet not done too much. Some persons believe that the bread is very much improved if when taken from the oven it be at once covered with a linen cloth, and kept coyered until. But we did not pen this article to give instructions ; our object is to call at¬ tention to the subject, hoping that it may encourage improvement, and call out some of the experts in making good bread to give the details of the best methods of making the various kinds of bread. Advice to Young Farmers. The humorous Bob Burdette, of the Burlington (Iowa) Haweye, of¬ fers the following advice to young farmers who have less knowledge than experience, and but little of either: This month is a good time to pay the interest on your mortgage and renew the notes you gave a year ago It is also a pretty good time to take the notes you unwittingly gave to the cloth peddler last Christmas un- dor the impression that you were only signing a contract Look after the bean poles you had left over from last year. You will look a long time Before you find any. They have gone partially into the insatiate maw of the all-devouring fire-place, and neighbors have stolen the rest. Raise chickens. If you have a nice little garden, by all means raise chickens. Your neighbor’s hens are the best one to raise. You will find them from 5:30 a. 111 . until 6:20 p. m. on your lettuce, onion, radish and flower beds, You can raise them higher with a shot-gun than anything else. N. B.—Always eat the hens you raise. P. S.—Cook the liens before eat q n g. P. SS.—Before eating the hens, that is. lf ago od horse shows symptoms of going blind, and is developing a few first-class spavins, it is time to sell him. Sell him out of the coun try, if pcssib.e. Beware ot the I)ea cop who has a little blazed faced pacin’ mare, he wants to trade for just such a boss. Eternal vigilance i3 the price of the potato crop. About ten hours a day devoted to crushing potato hugs saves the upper part of the patch for you. By the time you will be so dis¬ gusted with everything pertaining to potato culture that you couldn’t look a potato in the eye without a feeling of nausea, and as for eating one—but this enables you to sell the whole bushel without a pang. Young hens lay more eggs than old ones. This is because the giddy young things have nat yet learned their value. In a few years they just know how to stand around on a strike when eggs are $1.75 a dozen, and then rush out and work double time when eggs are so common the tramps won’t eat them. Who Wouldn’t be a Farmer. It is very refreshing for one who has spent his life in the country, to read the poetic effusion of suburban writers on the independence and de. lights of reral life and scenery. We may he pardoned if we attempt to give a pencil portrait of the novel¬ ist’s ideal—a home in the country We may possibly get the poetical and practical mixed, but we shall cling to the truth like the old man of the mountain to Sinbad the Sailor. How delightful in early spring¬ time to loiter beside purling brook¬ lets and gather daisies and forget me-nots ! How pleasant to watch the playful lambkins in the meadow, and have the heaving bosom of your trousers hutted up to the hack of your neck by the father-in-law of the lambkins! How merrily the robin sings its matin, and the whippoor¬ will echoes its vespers in the grove ! How joyful the rosy-cheekcd plow boy, as he sits down to scratch his sore shin and put an umbrella cover on his nailless toe! What rippling peals of laughter are heard from the farmer’s daughter, when her ham colored beau falls over a cow in at¬ tempting to kiss her under her corn silk bangs! How gently the soft zephyrs move the tiny leaflets, as if by angel hands, while the house dog drowns the cat, as she explores the contents of the cream jar ! The oriole warbles its happy songs of praise, and the humming bird sips nature’s nectar from the golden cups of the honeysuckle! All earth and air and sky are hushed and calm, and there is no sound to disturb the far¬ mer as he hunts for a hot-headed bumbelebee in the left leg of his trousers ! Happy indeed is he who possess so many noble animals ! The great plow-horse, in the majestic pride of his strength, with his tail over the line, and tramping down one row of eorn and plowing up another, is the farmer’s pet; while the brindle bull in the orchard, which gored the far mer’s wife to death, still wears a corset on his horns and her hoop skirt on his shaggy neck. And then on the beautiful sabbath j morning, the happy farmer, with j piety in his heart and dog-leg to- NUMBER 22. banco in his pocket, starts to the quiet House of God with his family, in an old lumber wagon, to pouf forth praise and tobacco juice! He sits on the spring seat and drives like Jehu, while the boys sit tlat down in the wat on. Yes, dear reader, the country is the place for health and weath. In the country you will not find the kid gloved dude in immaculate cuffs and sin-stained simpering soul ! No, nothing hut innocence will be found You will find instead the sunbrown ed hero of the poet’s fancy, who wears No. 10 boots beneath a No. 5 hat, and fastens his collar to his waistband to keep it from jumping over his head when he sneezes. He thinks he is a dude when begets his yellow dogskin gloves slipped over the warts on his hands, and they fit like a eirons tent would fit a camel. He is not a dude, but an aleck, and he smells like v. tanyard stretched over a clothes-line. Such are a few of the beauties of agricultural life! Who wouldn’t be a farmer? Farm and Stock Notes. The value of the butter made in the State of New York annually is estimated at over $56,000,000. An apple tree in Mercer county, Ivy., has borne fruit for sixty seasons without a failing. Five feet from the ground its trunk is 10 feet 9 inches in circumference. A writer in Vick’s Magazine says he destroys May beetles and other bugs by using brush for building fires on . dark evenings. The bugs are attracted, fall in the fire and are thus destroyed. Radishes may be had on the table till late in the season. The best mode of growing them is to put plenty of wood ashes on the location make the soil fine and endeavor to have them grow as quickly as possi¬ ble, which makes them crisp and ten¬ der. The practice of feeding young calves only twice a day is injurious When running with the dams they take their food at short intervals, and, being in a growing condition, should be fed not less than three times a day, and oftener whenever possible. Young colts especially should not be kept from their dams longer than four hours at a time. Beans are one of the crops for which it would be thought that salt was not needed. But an old farmer informs us that little sprinkled on the rows of beans just as the plants are corning up makes them more vigorous and greatly increases the profusion of pods. The salt proba¬ bly acts on the soil, releasing plant food that would otherwise remain inert. In skimming the cream off from milk there should always be milk enough skimmed witli the cream to give the butter, when churned, a bright, clean look. Butter churned from clear cream, with little or no milk in it, will usually have an oily or shiny look. This shows that the grain of the butter is injured, winch affects the keeping qualities of the butter. There are some plants grown in the garden that are gross feeders. Such plants will appropriate any quantity of manure that may he given them. Cabbage, celery and asparagus are such, and in order to pusli them forward rapidly there is nothing superior to an occasional application of liquid manure, follow¬ ed the next day by a hoeing. The more such crops are worked the bet¬ ter. Recently a farmer who had plow ed up a fence row" relaid the fence i after seeding with timothy and clover j It was a rail fence, laid worm fash j ion, and under the rails, where the heat of the sun was shaded, the grass was vigorous and at least three times as large and thick as it was where no shade was had. This burning up ! of the plants by beat, perhaps, ex plains some failures in grow ing j grass seed without caution. j The Germantown Telegraph gives j Advertising Rates.

It will he found to be a sure protection, The mix ture should not come in contact with the plants, as it may destroy them. This method has been tried repeats edly, and when properly applied has never failed to be entirely success full.” The Superintendent of the Uni¬ versity of Wisconsin Experimental Farm states that for three years past he has grown Lima beans without poles or stakes by persistent pinch¬ ing hack after they reached the de¬ sired height—about that of common bunch beans, lie is confident the crop is very perceptibly earlier and thinks it is increased in quantity, the plant being checked in its growth of vine, expending its energy in fruit production, The Fruit Recorder states that on its farm some were so treated and they were loaded with fruit. imMBi Proverbs in Cookery. In making any sauce put the but¬ ter and flour in together and your sauce will never bo lumpy.
