The foundation of a great and pros perous State is a great and prosper ous farming community. Every other interest is dependent upon this first, this rudimental element. Whatever, therefore, benefits the farming inter est of a State benefits every other in terest. Whatever injures the farmer injures more seriously a thousand other men dependent for their success upon the successful farmer. This brings us to our point, namely, that good roads are essential to the pros perity of the farm interests of Geor gia: per contra, poor roads are harm ful, and consequently injure exten- sivelv every public and private inter est in tiie ' State. Every business, every household is affected, one way or another, by the condition of our roads. Besides being a shame to Georgia, our poor,. miserable roads are a most deplorable source of dis comfort and injury to our people. How much longer are we to endure this condition?—Southern Cultivator. AMMONIA. An Historic House. The Constitution Man Prints Some Interesting Macon Reminiscences. Ammonia is cheaper than soap, and cleans everything it touches. A few drops in a kettle that is hard to clean makes grease and stickiness fade a- way and robs the work of all its ter rors. Let it stand ten minutes before attempting to scrape off, and every corner will be clean. It cleans the sink and penetrates into the drain pipe. Spots, finger-marks on paint, disappear under its magical influence, and it is equally effective on floor ami oil cloth, though it must be used with care on the latter, or it will injure the polish, and keeps clean longer than anything else. If the silver be only slightly tarnished, put two table spoonfuls of ammonia in a quart of ^ ^ ^ ^ hot water, brush the tarnished article i iaVid.' Tn 1862^ thus with it, and dry with a chamois. If badly discolored they need a little whitening previous to the washing. ^An old nail brush goes into the cracks to polish and brighten. For fine muslin and delicate lace it is invalua ble, as it cleans, without rubbing, the finest fabrics. Put a few drops into rour sponge bath in hot weather, and you will b£ astonished at the result, as it imparts coolness to the skin. Use it to clean hair brushes, and to wash any hair or feathers to be used for beds or pillows. When employed in anything that is not especially soil ed, use the waste water afterward for the house plants that are taken down from their natural position and im mersed in a tub of water. Ammonia i js a fertilizer, and helps to keep' healthy the plants it nourishes. In ! every wav in fact, ammonia is the j lousekeeper s friend.—Baptist "NV eek- j BROOM CORN. Would like to be informed of culti vation and yield of broomcorn—what character of soil it requires, its Culti vation, distances, acreage yield, etc. — h.. T. V., Columbus, Ga. Ans wer.—Broomcorn is a sorghum, and caiis for saiue cultivation as the sorghums raised for making syrup. Any good corn land—especially rich, dry bottoms—will make good crops of t.* Break and harrow the land until n fine tilth, and about first of May sow in drills 31 to 4 feet apart. A nushei of clean seed will plant ten acres; chop out, to three to six stalks in hills a foot apart—leaving the larger number of stalks on rich land. Cultivate rapidly in early stages of growth, using sweeps or scrapes, if land is poor, manure in drill as for corn. Five hundred pounds per acre s a fair yield: as much as a thousand pounds per acre have been raised, i'he price varies according to quality and the size of the crop in the coun try at large. Broom factories in At lanta jaiy from three to six cents a pound. In St. Louis, it i- quoted just now, owing to a short crop Walnut street, Macon, from second to Fourth is filled with memorials of a glorious past. Among them is a mansion of that order of architecture that was most in vogue fifty years ago, which stands on the corner of Second and Walnut. Although the iron hand of time has left its rude hie roglyphics upon the stately walls, it looks well yet. Dr. Ambrose Baber lived there in royal style. He was a real Georgia gentleman, had his house well supplied with luxurious furniture and perfect apartments in every par ticular. He maintained a retinue of servants, and employed a tutor for his children. He w r as a Mason of high de gree, a popular physician and a suc cessful political leader, He served his constituency in the legislature, and was afterwards United States minister to Sardina. But a relentless fate overtook him. He died from a dose of medicine taken in March, 1840. A migprint in the dispensary caused him to take a prescription containing too great an amount of deadly drug, and he died from the effects. His aged widow, a most accomplish ed and estimable lady, still resides in Macon, and is a teacher in the public schools. Hers has, indeed been a life of vicissitudes, but one would never judge from her quiet demeanor and sunny temperament that she had been the victim of a cruel destiny. The house after the death of Dr. Ba ber, became the property of John B. Lamar, a princely old bachelor, whose wealth was estimated by the 1 thous ands. The possession of many acres of broad lands, and an army of slaves, enabled him* to pursue Ills literary tastes,which were above the average, and he carried these quiet tastes so far as to decline to serve in Congress after being duly elected—a remarka ble thing for a man to do now-a-days, but not near so novel in those good old days. Among works of his fertile imagination may be mentioned some humorous sketches which have come down to posterity. ‘The Blacksmith of Mountain Pass 1 and ‘Polly Peablos- som\s Wedding' have been read with delight since first they were printed. But the hand that wielded the pen so ably could firmly grasp the saber hilt as well, and when the war came he was a Lamar of the old stamp, and he yielded his brilliant life to a mus ket ball at Crompton's Gap, Mary-1 adding another As a preventive, not a cure for hog cholera, Mr. L. Smith of Wash ington, Ga., recommends this: com mence when your hogs are young, and ev^ry two weeks, give to every ten hogs 2 teaspoonsful of spirits of turpentine on shelled corn or other food, in a trough. Too much will weaken them. Powdered charcoal and meal is also good, to give at in tervals. The above remedy was giv en me three years ago by a 'farmer of this county, whose father (a most suc cessful hog raiser) used it before him, with -entire fuccess. I have used it for three years and have not had a sick hog. While all my neighbors have lost more or less of tl^irs, I have raised sufficient for my own use. I also know of five good farmers in this county who use the above suc cessfully. 'The main point about the whole matter is to give the remedy regularly and not neglect it. Personal. Hon. T. J. Simmons, judge of the Macon circuit. Col. L. F. Livingston, president of the state agricultural society, Hon. F. S. Johnson, mayor pro-teinof Macon, Col. Lee Jordan, of Dougherty county, Hon. H. S. Feagin, of Houston county, andahost of other gentlemen of like character and high standing in the state, cheer fully endorse Hall's Georgia Chill Remedy as a certain and permanent cure for chills and fever. As a tonic it has no equal. Those suffering from headache or periodical neuralgia will find immediate relief from its use. No medicine ever introduced has met with such an immense sale in so short a time as Hall s Georgia Chill Reme- dv. 'in addition to the above named parties many of our own citizens have used this Chill Remedy and in dorse it as a certain cure. For sale by John M. Clark, Druggist, Milledge- ville, Ga. _ It will not disappoint you. It is the best article known for purifying the blood and building up the health and strength. For 25 years erysipelas broke out in blotches on my face. I found no cure until I used Parker's Tonic two years ago. It is the medi cine for me.—E. C. H. 39 lino. last vear. jewel to the blood stained crown of Dixie. But the house was destined to pass from one gifted man to another. General Howell Cobb, Lamar’s broth er-in-law, came into possession, and here he lived while confederate conscript commander of Georgia in 1865. For three years after the war he made it his home, and j then was suddenly taken off with 1 heart disease at a New York hotel, in • 1868. One after another three shin ing lights were darkened, and the j house became a historic “spot. Liter- : ature, Free Masonary, medicine, poli ties and military matters were strang- ly commingled in its romantic remin iscences. Perhaps there is no private dwelling in the State with such a checkered history. When General Cobb made liis head quarters there, officers and soldiers ’ were generously entertained at his ta ble. Many of the war-worn veterans had found food and shelter be- j neatli that hospitable roof There went Joseph E. Johnston when the fortunes of war went against him and his star was eclipsed when the com mand was taken from him at Atlanta. There came to General Cobb the i shocking intelligence that the gallant soul of General W. H. T. Walker had been offered up in the battle around Atlanta. And the brave old general was sorely grieved. He said lie had lost his best friend, and the cause a great and gallant commander. When General Benning was returning from Virginia, suffering with a wound re ceived there, he was compelled to seek refuge at the home of ins kins-1 man. General Cobb, and he was a j fellow-guest with General Joseph ! Johnston until his strength was suffi ciently recovered for him to resume his journey. But the house passed from the Cobb family on the death of the General, and only the memory “of those glorious days cling to the old mansion. At Atlanta Sunday a cow fell into L. W. Daly's well on Fair street. A short while before dark the cow was released from the stable and driven to the well for some water. After drink ing she was allowed to remain loose in the yard. In walking about she stepped upon the platform which cov ered the well. The planks gave way under her weight and the cow went down. Fortunately there was only about two feet of water in the well, and as the fall did not hurt her, Mr. Daily at once began trying to get her out. Ropes were tied about her body, and an attempt was made to hoist her out, but without success. Then Mr. Daily began filling the well with shavings from a mill near by. As one load after another was dropped down the well the cow came nearer the sur face. She finally walked out of the top about midnight. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
