LABOR.
We have before tu a letter from a farmer
asking our ordnion a* to what kind of
weather we will have the next three weeks.
We never had any tact at guessing. Sun
shine, rain and manureare excellent for a
farm, but lo renovate and beautify the
place, the chief agency in the transforma
tion is labor. Now. our advice is, no mat
ter who represents you in congress, no mat
ter what the weather is, or how the moon
hangs, to buckle ou your harm-** and work
out the salvation of your**e i and your
farm. Merchant*, lawyers, physicians, and
even newspaper men. cau arrange business
hours to meet the public demand Rut on
the farm it is different. “Up and at it.”
must be the farmer’s motto all the season.
In the day lime he must work-in the
night sleep; and if his soil is enriched, fine
crops grow, farm stock look fat, the prem
ises take on a look of thrift and his home
be one of plenty, he must give attention to
business.
WHO MAKE* THE REST FERTILIZER?
The above question has been propounded
to u*. Now mere may be a delicacy in an
swering the question. There are several
agent* in Atlanta, for different companies
that make fertilizers and as none of them
are spending fortunes advertising in The
GoMrnTCTfOg, we do not like to make dis
tinction. One thing we will say, the stom
ach of cattle is a Jabraiory in winch if hay,
grass, grain, roots, fruit and other vegetable
substances are placed, they combine with
salts, acids and alkalies and form an organ
ized fertilizer, which combines and holds
all of the precious salts of vegetable physi
ology; this is animal manure, and is excel
lent for the production of paying crops and
the restoration of exhausted soil to its nor
ma! condition.
WHO WILL HEOEOUMA’rt REST GOVERNOR?
From Oglethorpe county comes the above
question to us from a farmer. Now w e ask
the writer, in all honesty, doe* he think the
salvation of our old state depends on the
electing of any particular man?
There is a question you are far more in-
tcrested in; that is, demand for food is
every day increasing, and the great ques
tion is—how shall I. as a fanner, make, col
lect and economize the manures and fertili
zing elements tint are within my reach,
and apply them to the soil so a* to increase
fertility annual pr.aluctions. and add
new’ profits and pleasures to my home and
my life?
CHICKEN. 8 .
How many chicken raisers in Fulton
county gives this industry the attention it
deserves? On how many farm* in the
county do the fowls roo**t in trees, in cattle
sheds, barns,or where they can get a foot
hold? No provision is made for them, and
the care of them is left to women and chil
dren. What is the "make up" of most of
these chickens? Is it not "dung hid” of nil
grades, shade* and sizes, without any dis
tinctive qualities a* good table fowls or pro
lific layers? In fad, they are not worth
raising, are they? As to their laying, now,
farmer, do you know where your hen nest*
are? Do not the children and little darkle*
bring them from under the house, the barn,
from the fence corner, or behind the hog
pen? Won’t you do better than this? Get
you a good breed of chickens; have proper
houses for laying end hatching; give sulli
cient food, care and attention, ami you will
find that the investment will pay.
THE COTTON CROC.
We have of late written so repeatedly
against planting too much cotton that per
haps it is becoming stale reading to farmers
and yet we will again caution them Our
information is that arrangement* have been
(*erfected by many to buy fertilizers, meat
and corn on time, consequently the farmers
are g ling largely in debt to raise cotton,
and the calculaiion now is that the crop of
IHrtd-\Sl may reach (J,500,0)0 bales. A* a
matter of course we wish the fanner eve.y
success, yet we must confe-t* our fearj are,
too many Indore the end of the coming
season, will have can** to regret that they
did not follow our advice.
Sit EM* NOTES.
—Extra feed and extra care should be the
watchword with the sheep owner just now.

wide a ranee of scientific principles as farm
ing.
Take for instance the fruit trees of the
farm, to say nothing of the regular crops
Potash is one of the most essential elements
in all plant growth, and Ps absence from
the soil is always evinced by diminished
production. A bearing apple tree requires
the salt in considerable qtimu tit v to enable it
to perfect growth and fruit at the same time.
It will not harm a farmer to learn some
thing of science—to know why potash b a
coo l manure for his grapes, or why ashes
and bine phosphate are good for his straw
berries.
,, FLOWERS.

jntinue to bloom till frost kills them.
ibu“ giving a succession of flowers. They
arc of all shades of red and purple, and
when mixed with white ones have a dax-
zl.ng effect. Phlox bioora quite early.
Nothing else in the floral family can give a
greater variety of colors and more dazzling
ones than the phlox. Red. white, blue,
purple. jeArlet, pink, **riped and dotted.
Asters bloom later, and sport almost as
great a variety of colors as the phlox. Chi
nese pinks give variety, are hardy, constant
bloomers, and of all shades of red
and scarlet, striped and spotted.
Then there are pansies, verbenas, snap
dragon, zinnias, nasturtium, oalsarus, and
morning glories for climbing plants. All
of these are profuse bloomers, will give all
shales and colors, and will make a yard

—Soil for flowers in pats should ba porous
enough to admit of the free passage of wa
ter, and yet not so open as to dry up Equal
parts of partially decayed sods, manure
and wood loam will, when thoroughly de
cayed, make the best soil for pots.
An abundance of bloom is produced
by the heliotrope in any good garden soil,
the culture being simple, the same as for
verbenas, and rooting freely from cuttings.
They are very sensitive to cold.
The tulip will thrive in almost any soil.
A rich soil is not necessary, but well rotted
manure aud leaf mould may be applied
when the earth is poor. The drainage
should be good and the soil fine aud dsep.
-Smooth-leaved and hard plants require
less watering than pubescent and soft-
leaved plants. Many small pots require
water every day. Over-saturation will kill
plants.
—Sometime* plants get “sick” which i?
known by unhealthy, yellow leaves. This
usually by over-watering, generating a
*, ora sourness, destructive to the roots
The remedy is to cut the plant back a little,
shake out the soil, anil put the plant in a
small p »t with new soil and place the plant
in a iiou-e only moderately warm and
which is naturally moist, so that the plant
can live f jr a while without requiring much
water.
—Cuttings of fuebias, zonalc, geraniums,
smooth leaved begonia*, and many other
plants may be easily rooted in sand Fill
a (lower pot with coarse, gravelly sand and
stick in the cuttings close to the outer edg-
and quite near together. They are fond of

there every hour of the day you can, but
never let the wind get dry or even approach

sion of much disease among sheep.
FOOD FOR STOCK.
Hard corn is a grand food for stock, all
must admit. Yet, does Georgia grow
enough of it, and oats, and hay, ami clover,
to mix with it? Corn gives heat and fat;
but supplemented with oat*, clover, hay,
peas, or some nitrogenous fool, it makes
bone and muscle, lirjin and brawn. Colts
and calves require food that promote*
growth. Oit* are the best for them; but if
corn i* used it may be accompanied wiili
bran of wheat. Bran is rich in the phos
phates which are necessary in the forma
tion of bone, aud the animal cann it fie
built without these. All breeding animals,
especially female during the period of ges
tation. should have a diet which promotes
growth. Corn alone will not build the
ruung in the dam. Neither will corn alone
urnish milk to the young pig*- that will
give them strength of frame and sound less
of frame. One ih : ng farmers should re-
metnber, the hog cholera commission was
nearly unanimous in imputing the preval-
nceof disease in swine to a want of proper
ariety in food. Doubtless a lie’ll of rye,
rgra>s, for hog*, is of much imp »r-
tanec. Hogsand cattle should have potadi;
necessary element of growth. It
forms the basis of all the medicines that
ore of any value in prevention or cure of
hog diseases—give hogs wood ashes.
YUU 1C TABLES.
Beans—Dwarf or,bunch beans require no
M!p|Hjrt, and mar be planted in hill.* or
drills. Make the drills fifteen inches apart,
an inch and a half deep, aud drop the beans
three inches apart in tne drill*. Keep clear
of weeds. Pole beans should be planted
three feet apart in a quick, warm soil. A
rich sandy loam is best for beans—a well-
r.»tled compost in which stable manure fig
ures largely is the most grateful fertilizer.
Beets—The same soil and preparation as
r turnips. 8uw in drills ab mt one foot
apart, covering from one lo two inches.

Carrots delight in a sandy loatn, deeply
tilled. S iw in rows about fifteen inches
apart, thinning out to three or four

Cucumbers succeed best in warm, moist,
rich, loamy ground.
Melons require the same treatment as cu
cumbers. A warm moist, rich loamy soil
mils them best, though it must be well
drained. The vines should never lie ruovev

aeqnences are that there is a general desire

, HOME GROWN TREES.
We have received two or three letters
making inquiries about fruit trees. Our
opinion is that fruit trees do better if they
are started in the vicinity of the place
where they are grown. It is sensible to
patronize your own nurserymen for several
reasons. Home grown trees require no ac
climating; they are already accustomed to
the soil and climate of the’place where they
«re to stand. They can be removed with
but lit«le exposure, and with small liability
to injury of any kind A local nurseryman
will naturally desire to establish and main
tain a good reputation for honesty and fair
dealing among the people living in his
vicinity, and will accordingly be anxious to
sell them articles that will give satisfaction.
For this reason, if for no other, there is
policy in giving patronage to a nurseryman
m the vicinity in preference to one living
at a distance.
ASPARAGUS BED.
Asparagus is such a luxury and health-
promoter in early spring tna’t we are sur
prised that it is not grown to a greater ex
tent by our people. The soil for it should
be spaded very deep and thoroughly fertil
ized with well decomposed manure. Obtain
two-year-old plants if convenient, and set
them oat from a foot to fifteen inches apart
in the bed. If planted in rows and culti
vated with a plow the rows should be three
feet apart and tne plants ten inches from
each other in the rows. While the soil
should "he deeply pulverized and highly
manured, the plants should not be set too
deep. Just cover the crown, but spread the
roots out straight, so they will be about
three inches below the surface After
planting, a top dressing of old manure is
desirable, and we reconi menu a fair sprink-
jing of salt. Asparagus aids the system
just at the important season when such
nourishment is needed.
CHCFA8 —COM POSTS.
Agricultural E iitor: In answer to the in
quiry, whether chufas exhaust land oi not.
1 will give the little experience I have had
with them. In 1873. 1 planted in chufas
one acre of land that had been planted in
cotton f->r several years; raised a fine crop,
and mowed a splendid lot of hay from the
tops of the same, which my stock
relished very much. Fattened eight or ten
hogson the acre, and sixteen half grown
shoats ran on the lot alt winter. They kept
good order. 1 feared that the land
might be injured by the rooting in wet
weather, and noticed particularly, and
found that the chufas grew so shallow in
the ground that the earth was stirred only
to a very shallow depth by the rooting, and
I think very little damage
was sustained iu that way during
wet weather. I planted the same lot in cot
ton the following year (1879) and raised a
good crop; could see no difference from the
cron of previous year*. I think the root*
and rubbish left on the ground compensate
a great measure for what is taken away
by the growing of the crop
While writing, I will add a little more
about compost of stable manure, cotton
seed and acid phosphate. You say that
water should be used freely. I have tried
both plans, water and no water, and like
the latter the best. 1 always put
ray compost up in a pen under
iuy gin-house. I put down a layer of c »t
ton see l, aud the . a layer of stable m.u.u c
sprinkling the acid over the manure, and
mtinu * iu this way until the pile is done.
1 then cover with a thick coating of dir .
well tramped down. The dirt on top al
ways seem* to be cool enough. I do not see
that the pile gets any hotter than when 1
used water, aud there is much less trouble.
no difference iu my crop I never dis
turb the pile until I go to put it out, when
it will be found a* loose as an ash bank, if
water has been used, anti nice to handle
and the stable manure almost reduced to
powder. When water is used the acid i*.
apt to get too wet sometimes, and then it
turns to water and dries out into bard lumps.

In tearing down a compost heap, there i*
always some loss of gaseous matter. The
strong smell which prevails is due to
escaping gases, generally sulphureted hy

the loss is usually small. Spri’.kling with

spade under strips of plants 15 inches wide,
and leave strips to fruit 9 to 12 inches wide.
Work these out nicely and scatter over the

Foundry Street—A Kin Shot and Killed
—A Eecklen Runaway—Run Over
by the Can aad Killed.
Saturday morning ijrcut halt past nine
o'clock there occurred at No. T3 Foundry
street, one of the most shocking accidents
we have ever recorded. It resulted, in the
unnecessary loss of one human life and
came near destroying another.
Mollie Stewart, a handsome girl of twen
ty, lives at the place indicated with her
mother and younger sister. The two girls
work in the cotton factory and manage to
make an honest living. The bouse in
which they reside is a small cottage
with rooms of neat appearance. Like many
such dwellings in Atlanta, this house was
very loosely constructed and in front there
was placed a verandah so miserably sup
ported and fastened to the main
structure that it proved a
perfect trap for human beings.
Yesterday morning Mollie Stewart did not
go to the factory on account of some duties
at home which demanded her attention
She bad occasion to go out on the verandah
to empty a bowl of water. As she went
out of the front door her little
two year old boy toddled after
her, and playfully clung to his mother’s
skirts as she stopped for a moment on the
old scaffold of death. Just then there was
a crack, and a dull horrible creak, and then
came a crash. The miserable structure
called a verandah had fallen in. It lay u
shapeless mass in which the broken timber
cover d mother end child. The movement
of the floor had thrown the woman forward
and thus placed her beyond the reach of
the heavy timber and saved her life. She
was heavily struck in the small of her back

was one that we hope not to see again. The
neighbors were shocked at the accident and
gathered fact to see what ossistauca they
could render.
the mother were less
for her own suffering than for the death of
her child. The wounded mother and the
dead child were carried into the house,
where all that friends could do wan done.
I>r. J. F Hammond and Dr. Boring were
soon present. They do not think the
injuries received by the mother are
very dangerous, though there are internal
injuries which are very punful and need
close attention. She may 'be injured for
life. Dr. Drake, the coroner, soon arrived
but did not deem an inquest necessary.
This tragedy is over, but it teaches a lesson
at the price of a human life. There are
hundreds of buildings in Atlanta which
need a careful inspection. We have
a l>oard of building inspectors
but it seems that their operations are con
fined to the center of the city. They cer
tainly have not been on Foundry ’street
lately. The renorter saw a dozen houses
ihere which have verandahs which are lia
ble to fall at any* time. The verandah
~hich killed the child, rested
n three or four little
stacks of bricks which were put together
with mortar that crumbled into sand when
pressed in one’s hand. A few doors above
the rejiorter saw another verandah resting
on similar supports, one of which wa*
bulging out and ready to give away at the
■lightest pressure.
There are several others on the same
street just as bad. Some of them look like
they can hardly hold thairown weight and
would he quite liable to crush under a
single human footstep. There are other
buildings iu Atlanta that need inspection.
A RECKLESS RUNAWAY.
Saturday about tour o’clock Mr. W. S.
Bell drove his fine sorrel up to Lewis
Clarke’s, got out of the buggy and went
into the store for a moment. In his ab
sence the horse began walking slowly off.
when several passers-by called out in chorus
"whoa! whoa,!” which so frightened the
animal that he dashed away at the very
top of his speed. The street was crowded
with pedestrians, and of course everybody
tried to stop him by shouting at him uni
heading him off in a vague manner at a re
spectful distance. These demonstrations
would have quickened his speed but for a
simple fact—uecould not possibly have run
any faster. He shot up Whitehall, turned
the buggy over in front of the National
hotel, breaking the top entirely off’ and
leaving it midway the street, whizzed into
Marietta, struck against an iron bar. sup
porting the awning around Ilealy’s build
ing, turned a somersault, fell with fearful
force upon his back among the rocks,

remnants of the buggy, sprarg

about a square above the scene of his tum

Mr. Bell's handsome buggy is a complete
wreck, and that his horse lias two ugly
ga-hes—one on each hind leg. He does not
seem to have been injured imemaliy by the

Sax Francisco, March 27.—The steamer
Belgier from Hong Kong brings the follow
ing news: Shanghai, February 24.—Chung
How, late Chinese minister to Russia, has
been stripped of his titles, because of the
dissatisfaction with the Russian treaty con
cerning Kuldja. It is reported that the
board of chancellors, who examined into
the results of his negotiation with Russia,
decided that China had better risk a war
with Russia than submit to the treaty con
cluded by Chung How.

General Donovan, commanding the Hong

satisfaction among Americans, and is re
garded by Governor Hennessy as an act of
insubordination.

London, March 20—Lord Hartington,
liberal leader, speaking at Padilium, Lanca
shire, last night pointed out in what respects
the policy of the opposition, if returned to
(tower, would differ from the policy of the
present government. He said they would
not stake the interests or honor of England
on the maintenance of the independ
ence and integrity of an unre-
formed Turkish government. They would
not treat the relations of the Turkish gov
ernment with its Christian subjects as a
matter of interest only to Russia and Tur
key; they would not try to disturb the con
cert of Europe if it was united, as to what
should be done; they would do all in their
l>ower to promote that concert. The Times
leading editorial this morning com
menting on the above says: Lord
Hartington in discussing the eas
tern |»qlicy of the government avows that
his criticisms are designed not merely to
discredit the ministry, but to indicate what
would have been it* policy in the past and
its tendency in the future. It would be
its policy of coercing Turkey at the cost, if
necessary, of war. The announcement of
such a jKilicy seems to deprive the opposi
tion speakers of all right to denounce the* 1
government for undertaking distant and
arduou-t enterprises.
A dispatch from Berlin to the Standard

reasonable explanation.
A bulletin has been issued by the papers

Gladstone, and that he is recommended to

An Accident at Doravllle.
Officer R. H. Goodson. of the police force,
ho reached this city yesterday from Dora-
ville. about fourteen mile* from Atlanta on
the Air-Line railroad, furnishes us with
the particulars of a probably fatal accident
which happened to Dick Warmock, near
D iraville * Tuesday afternoon last. Mr.
Warmock, who is a merchant of Doraville,
had been to his plantation and w ;s return
ing home riding a mule, which was par
tially harnessed While coiningalongslowly
the mule hicouie frighteneud at some ob
ject and made a plung>>, unseating his rider.
As Mr. Wannock fell from his mule one
his feet became entangled in a trace so
securely that he could not get it out. In
tliia condition the animal dragged Mr.
Warmock a full half mile through the
woods, inflicting wounds upon his person at
every step.
When found, Mr. Warmock was laying
flat ujton his back in an insensible condi
tion. with hi* hands clasped at the back of
his head His foot was still eniangied in
the harness, which had broken loose from
the hames. allowing the mule to goon. Tne
cause of the harness parting was discovered
to be owing to the fact that Mr. Warmock
lrad become snagged in the side by a piece
* wood which held him until the harness
is broken by the mule's strength. Four
the ribs of the injured man were found
be broken, and upon examination quite
number of additional injuries were tound
upon his person. Mr. Goodson thinks that
there is little hope of Mr. Warmock’s life,
owing to his terribly mutilated condition.

102 Peachtree Street.
We direct special attention to the adver
tisement of this stirring young business
man, which will be found elsewhere in this
issue. He has been actively engaged
grocery trade at 102 Peachtree street for the
past five years. During that time he has
built up a splendid business, and stands to
day in the front rank of grocers in this city.
Mr. Hemphill has won his present position
by close attention to business, fair dealing,
and uniform courtesy. In addition to this,
lie has always kept on hand a large and
well-selected stock of the best groceries.
He conducts his large ami growing business
on a strictly solid basis, being a quiet,
earnest, untiring worker, who never adows
opportunity to accommodate his patrons
to pass unimproved.
Mr. Hemphill keeps two excellent brands
of flour—lhe “Gate City” brand, which is a
fancy family Hour, one of the best in this
market, and the “ ^eoigia Flour,” a patent
process, purely fancy and snow-
white. Both of these brands certainly
deserve great popularity, and Mr. Hemp
hill is able to furnish large quantities to the
trade. lt>th brands are guaranteed. We
wish Mr. Hemphill the highest success in
liis business, and his energy and worth cer
tainly entitle him to a fut&re filled with
prnsj»erity.
He refers, by permiss ; on, to Mr. John H.
James, bunker, and Major Campbell Wal
lace. president of the Merchants bank.
