FARMS AND FARMERS.
SHORT TALKS WITH FARMERS ON
FARM TOPICS.
Living From the Garden'.*???Gardners* and
above all* farmers* have no business to live
meanly, or to think of themselves as obliged
to drudge ceasaelessly without the indulgencies
of other classes. One has no business to see
town folks having early vegetables and ber
ries a month before his tardy supply comes on,
to be out of them in dog days before the mer-
chants and cheap boarding house keepers in
the city have begun to see the end of fresh
things; he has no need to live on doughnuts
and boiled dinners the year round, when
others try the changes of spring lamb, fresh
fish, boiled chicken salads, ducks and green
peas, caponB and veal till turkey time comes
again. He ought not to see town homes fra
grant with flowers, while his wife has only a
bunch of syringa and cinnnmofti roses, with a
turf of asparagus to sweeten her parlor when
aho thinks to pick them. What better right
have rich men to sit over deserts of choice
pears, plums, grapes and apricots, while he
must content himself with a Baldwin apple in
midwinter? Who should have a becoming
home with its lawn in front, and wide borders
of the richest flowers; his house, one story and
small, perhaps, yet hung with woodbine, wild
grapes and roses against the back ground of
orchard and nut trees, spreading their flank
ing boughs with good effect as if it were a cot
tage ornee, with its acres of shrubberies. Why
should ho not have in his garden choice of
fruit for the season, strawberries, currants nud
gooseberries jostling each other in earliest per
fection, red and black cherries, golden and
purple plums, plenty of black caps to make up
for the lost strawberries, and grapes as soon as
raspberries are over, big blanched salads and
??? peas in succession, as well ns his town neigh
bor who sells him groceries and cotton? Why
should he not have as fine pears, peaches,
winter apples and grapes at Christmas as well
as the president of the horticultural society,
and why should not his girls have big French
roses and tuberoses ns well os the solitary
dahila> and China aster, which decorate the
yard, and the common geranium indoors?
Why doesn???t he have a herb bed to me
plain dinner savory, and lavender to s
his sheets at night? A poor English cottager
will have all these by thrift and contrivance.
Why not an American farmer? He has land
enough, and must have a grass field. Why
not put it in front of his house instead of be
hind it, and instead of making his cabbage and
potatoes his main features of the place, why
| not serene them from the road and from sight
by a belt of choice fruit trees, and have trees
to shelter hi* cattle outside the barn fence,
shutting off all that is unsightly? Why
doesn't ho raise plenty of fowls, pigeons, and a
f sheep or two on nis lawn, to supply his tables
to And fertilized for tho pining garden, and
i yield his wife pin money, instead of paving so
??? much to tho butcher and buyiug salt fish by

Properties of Bermuda Glass.-A corres
pondent writes iu relation to Bermuda grass
In the first place, I beg to dissent from your
expression that I ain ???an authority on Bermuda
grass.??? At the same time, from my standpoint
of limited experience Avith that product, I very
cheerfully state a few facts, Bermuda grass
has no seed (in this country or anywhere, so
far as I know,) aud has to be propagated from
roots. Piantany time after frost has disappear
ed and boforo dry, worm weather sets iu???say
last of March, April and early in May???in
shallow furrows, about eighteen inches apart,
nud cover twa or three inches deep. It seems
to flourish everywhere that I have seen it tried
???in moist places and dry???except in places
most shaded. It will require careful attention,
and should not be pastured the first year or till
it gets a good start, covering all the ground;
for stock, start, covering all the
stock, especially horses, will eat
ground and exterminate it (if it c*
minated.) Alfalfa will certainly produce
more feed, I think???that is to say, on lands
adapted to alfalfa-but Bermuda grass will
grow in places too dry for alfalfa and is less
liable to injury from gophers. Bermuda grass
in fact is not remarkable for quantity, but is
very nutritious and there is nothing that stock
eat with greater avidity. Some traits may by
some be considered objectionable and amonf
them are: The grass, while it is green am
growing during all our long glowing summer,

Cnn Such Things be True?
From the Lumpkin Independent.
There is no place that is held in greater
erencc by our people than the silent resting
places ot tho dead. It is true some of them
may be in out of . , .
neglected, yet thero still lingers around theso
lonely mounds an affection that timo docs
not efface, A seeming disregard *
for
one of these country graveyards has deeply
lit* -
to keep the same well cultivated. It U ^par
ticularly fond of spreading along the banks of
irrigating ditches, but it forms a good and sod
protection to them. In conclusion, my advice
would be to every one, first to give it a fair
test on a limited scale aud) so prove its adap-
tibility to varied conditions. My opinion is
that neither alfalfa nor Bermuda grass will be
just the thing for land once covered with wild
Boats. The best grass for such laud has
probably not been discovered.???Sacramento

Let him take a large barrel, open at the end.
Have two cans* holding five gallons each,
made of such diameter that they will stand
together in it. Have for covers inverted tin
plates of the proper size to cover them. Fasten
two cleats across the barrel just high enough to
hold down some cross-sticks on top of the cans,
j^ill the barrel half ftill of water. Fill the cans
* ith milk, put on* of them in the barrel, hold
ing the lid down until the cross-stick is placed
t<> secure it. Then set the other can into the
barrel, using the other cross-stick to secure its
cover. * By this time the water will cover the
cans, but the air held under the rims of the
inverted plates will effectually keep the milk
and water sepsrte. Put in ice enough io cool
the milk ana leave the water at the tempera
ture of fifty degrees. In cold weather no ice is
required- In twelve hours or less time the
cream will be all risen, and the cans may be
emptied and refilled. I judge that the two
cans would be enough tor seven cows. If not,
increase the capacity.

shocked the sensibilities of ono of the county
neighborhoods and tho good people of that
section fcol indignant that tho last resting
???lace of thoso whom thoy loved in life has
ccn desecrated by being turned into a cotton
patch. Tho informotion comes to us that tho
graveyard has boon ploughed up and a cotton
crop planted where nothing but flowers
should bloom. Wo further learn
that tho spot of ground was brought
with a common hind and set aside as a public
burying ground for tbo immediate settlement
in which it is located. Threats havo been
rnado to destroy tho crop unlawfully planted

provuil. We trust that tho matter is not
bad as has boon reported, and
hardly believo that wo have a citizou

wantonly trespass upon tho rights of another,
much less desecrate the graves of deceased
relatives and friends of his neighbors.

Tho Apalachicola Tribune corroborates tho

on our river this fall. It is also certain that
there will bo throe independent boats operat

from Mr. 8. P. Wreford, mail contractor be
tween this city and Apalachicola, dated
Marietta, Ohio, Juno 3d, says:

A Strange Mother.
From the Oglethorpe, Go., Echo.
A sight unusual is at Mr. J. T. Moon's, who
lives on Mr. W. A. Burkhalter???s place, near
Sandy Cross. Early in the spring one of his
hens hatched a brood of chickens, but only
carried them two weeks, when she went to
laying again and soon hatched
second brood. When aho came
off with brood No. 2. she took brood No. 1 under
her charge again also and carried them both
about a week, when she.died. Then one of brood
No* 1, about frying size, adopted the youui
chicks and now goes around with them as f
they were her own brood, clucking to and
scratching for them in earnest. It is a strange
sight to see the little godmother trying to
hover the 12 or 1.1 chicks.
A Thrifty Colored Fanner.
From the Albany, Ga., News.
Jackson Eldridgc, a colored farmer of Baker
couuty, gives his race an example of thrift
and enterprise that they would do well to fol
low. He not only raises corn sufficient to run
his farm, but raisea his own supply of meat.
And, still better, he baa meat to sell.
He brought to Albany yesterday
about one hundred pounds of bacon, which he
sold to Mr. Morris Mayer, and says he has al
ready sold this season $250 worth of meat. He
pays cash for all of his supplies, and his
credit is as good as any man???s, white or
black, up to the measure of his property in
the county. 8uch a man deserves commenda
tion.

can be easily effected. The citizens of Atlanta
would gladly and cordinlly welcome such

let them report at once.
???What do you suggest about it, further????
???Well, let thoso who favor' tho idea roport

THREATENED TO SUE A PRIEST.
An Albany Man Wnrne Not to Approach

Albany, N. Y., June 25.???A sensation has
been caused hero by the denunciation from tho
mlpit of tho Immaculate Conception church
>y Rev. Father Walsh ofa communicant mem
ber, who, the priest declared, had lreen guilty
of bigamy. Father Walsh stated that
the man had threatened to sue
him for slander for utterances
which his duty to the church dictated. To
such threats the clergyman declared lie would
fling back an unqualified defiance, and would
state tlmt if this individual again at-
furtn

church and npproach tho communion rails,
ho would endeavor to see if the luw could not
envelop tho offender in its meshes.
Tho jiergon referred to is Peter H. Mulhcrn,
engineer in tho Argus office. When asked if
he had anything to say in reply to the priest???s
charges, ho said ho had seen Father Walsh,

all of the causes which led to a rupture between
Kelly and Cleveland, but after saying that Cleve
land might have shown a little more consideration
than he did for the Tammany chief, he says that
the schism is not at all serious, and that he does
not merely believe, but he knows, that if Mr.
Cleveland Is nominated Kelly will give him the
most earnest support, as will the Irving hall men

THE EXPOSITION.
An Atlanta Man Talks About the New
leans Cotton Kxpo*ltion.
An Atlanta man who has spent several
weeks in New Orleans recently, and who while
there passed much of his time at the exposition
grounds, gives some important information
relative to the extent and progress of the enter
prise, a summary of which will prove inter
esting.
???The exposition,??? says he, ???will be tho
cutest thing that the world has ever seen
likely to see in the next century. I visited
the grounds while in New Orleans probably
dozen times, on each occasion going there by
different route, so as to see it ail. One railroad
any number of street car lines and a line of
steamers are now in full operation, taking
thousands of visitors to the park daily. The
grounds .are located about seven miles
rora the St. Charles hotel. Although
tho distance seems , great, the tr d
does not appear a long one, as everyth inggt
and comes with a rush. The streets i
double tracked with street car Hues, and
halt is made except to take on passengers,
The railroad trains leave with a rush and
never come to a halt until the terminus
reached. River steamboats ply between tho
city and the grounds every half hour, heavily
loaded with passengers. Every convoy an co
seems to be well patronized, ana tho rush to
and from the park shows life in all of its ac
tivity. Boats, railroads and dray lines, nro
busily employed day in and day out, trans-
jorting building material. Fully three
housaiul mechanics and laborers
nro at work putting up buildings and
getting the grounds in order. An ocean of lum
ber and building material of every character is
distributed all over the pr.rk, which contains
an area of 250 acres. Ono of the main build
ings covering 38 acres is already nearing com
pletion. The structure is up and while a hun
fired painters are at work on tho sides, tho
same number are employed putting on the
roof, which is to be of heavy glass. The frame
of the horticulture! hall, 000 by 194, is now up
and work is being pushed more rapidly than
can be imagined, by those of us in Georgia who
have so little idea of the magnitude of the un
dertaking. A score or twoofarchitects and their
assistants are drawing plans for the buildings
to be constructed, and ns fast ns the plans
and specifications aro completed thoy
aro turned over to the contractors
who nro to execute the work. Burke, tho di
rector general, is a wheel horse of grent powc
and is pushing things with a rush, He i
w is
leaving no stone'unturned that is iu any way
calculated to make the ' enterprise
the grandest success of ths century.
Realizing that the attondnneo will bo immense
a great deal of attention is being paid to hotel
accommodation. The Great Eastern, tho
largest steamship in the world, which is t<
bring the European exhibits to the exposition,
will be anchored off tho exposition grounds,
tied up to the wharf aud made a hotel of. Be
sides this a large exposition hotel is to
be built on or near the grounds, and
Potter Palmer, of tho Pulmcr house,
Chicago, is now there for tho purpose of erect
ing a hotel to contain four hundred rooms,
Any number of stores and houses nro being
built on the lots around tho park, and prop
erty of this character has advanced flvo hun
dred per cent in tho lost six months. A good
many Georgians, who, while living in N
Orleans, are still much attached to their nati
state, inquired earnestly of me as to what
Georgia was doing. It is well known there
that the Georgia commission is without a dol
lor to uso for the purpose of getting up tho ex
hibit from this state, whilo all of tho other
_,,-iiern states aro amply suppll...
to aid in displaying the varied resources
of each and every ono of them.
Knowing this, a great many of our friends
feol fearful that Georgia will not bo ablo to do
herself justice. Seeing what I did wbilo there,
and hearing what I havo sinco my return, I
may be classed na ono of that number. Still,
I have hopes that something encouraging will
turn up, and that Georgia will do credit to
herself, and not bo found wanting when tho
time comes.???
