U. S. CROP REPORT FOR JULY. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never Varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness. More economical than the ordinary kinds, and cannot be sold in competition with the multitude of low test, short weight, alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans, Royal Baking Powder Co., 106 Wall St. New York. 15 lira Agricultural DEpartment. The Georgia State Agricultural Convention meets in Cartersville on the 10th of Auflust. The pea crop will grow better in the shade than any other grain, and ma ny farmers are learning that it is just what is needed to sow in, their apple orchard. Let the pigs harvest the crop, and with this and fallen apples a large amount of the very best pork may be fattened before cold weather. Grow a crop of peas in the old or chard and let the pigs harvest it. Sow early two bushels per acre, with 400 pounds of good fertilizer. Good for the peas, better for the pigs and best for the orchard. Says Waldo Brown in the National Stockman and Farmer: ‘’The two most essential points in securing a good oat crop are early seeding and a fine seed bed,” and these points he se cures by using a pulverizing harrow on the corn stubble instead of plow, thus very much reducing the labor of preparing for the crop and getting it in much earlier than would be possi ble if the ground were first plowed. With this management he gets bet ter yields than formerly, and has come to consider oats a profitable crop in the corn belt. A farmer in New York states that about 15 years ago he transplanted huckleberries, from both the high and low kinds, from a cold, wet swamp to dry, gravelly soil, where they have grown talierthan in their native spot, and produce larger and more abund ant berries. He advises us to set out young plants, about a foot high, in the spring, and then to mulch them for a year or two, and plow in some coarse horse manure occasionally.— They are slow to start, but after they are started they grow rapidly, both in bush and berry. Fruit Trees.—When fruit trees occupy the ground nothing else should except very short grass.—Peach bo rers can do but little harm if stiff clay is heaped up round the tree a foot high.—Pear blight still puzzles the wisest fruit growers. The best reme dy known or that is likely to be known is to plant two trees for every one that dies.—Don’t cut off a big lower limb. A tree with the limbs coming out near the ground is worth two trees trimmed up five feet and worth four trees trimmed up ten feet. The higher up you trim a fruit tree the more worthless it becomes. Trim down not up if you want good fruit and an abundance of it. Give space, trim down instead of up and reap the greatest quantity of good fruit; be sides it is easier to gather it. The trees will not look so neat and pretty but will double and even quadruple the fruit and make it larger and sweeter. CORN. The area of corn is steadily increas ing, with only the slightest impetus from foreign demand, and still less from the spirit manufacture. It is the great American crop, 'its product three times as much as all the maize, produced elsewhere. * 'fihe more ex tensively it is grown the greater is the demand* and the consumption, be cause of its greater cheapness, and of the many economic uses to which it can be profitably applied. The in crease in seven years, since 1879, has been about 20 .per cent.,. and the present area is about 75,000,000 acres. The increase is rapid in the more Re cently settled Western States, for two reasons: 1. From settlement and home-making. 2. From substitution of corn for wheat. Settlers find the demand for wheat fixed and little variable, except that the world’s sup ply affects demand everywhere, while the demand for corn is elastic, and may be doubled with prices sufficiently low. Wheat means the daily loaf for man alone; corn is food for man, the mo tive power in farm work, the genera tor of animal heat in winter, and the producer of beef, mutton, butter, cheese, eggs, and poultry; food,' drink, and bedding fpr man, and substance for beast. Wheat is tlie sport of speculators, while corn has seldom been cornered. The total increase is 3j per cent., or about two and a lialf million acres. WHEAT. The harvest of winter wheat is over in the South, and in progresss in the northern belt. It has not quite ans wered expectations before harvest, and some has already been injured by rains after harvest. The returns re late to the crop at the time of har vest. The average has declined from 92.7 to 91.2. It is a small difference in comparison with the low condition of wheat in July of last year, when the average was G5. The condition of spring wheat has declined from 98.5 in June to 83.3, in consequence of high temperature, drying winds, and want of rain. Last year the average was 96 in July, and, in consequence of high temperature at a critical period, fell to 86 at the time of harvesting. It is a sudden fall, and though only 3 points lower than last year's crop at harvest, a continuance of injurious weather would bis likely to threaten further and serious disaster. COTTON. The cotton returns represent the crop ten to fifteen days late, the low grounds saturated with the excessive rain of June, a general prevalence of the aphis in such situations, and a smothering growth of grass and weeds. The drier uplands show a vigorous plant growth, and in full handed plantations clean cultivation. This description will apply to all the States except Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. There has been improve ment during June in these States, and retrogression in all the others. There will be a small arear abondoned from inability to cultivate it, and some in jury to plar Is will result in the pro cess of cleaning. Reduction in condi tion is mainly in North and South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. Georgia was reported low in June. The general average of condition is 86.1. It was 88.7 on tlie 1st of June. Last year it was 96 in July, a gain of four points during June. Favorable weather in July, with prompt de struction of weeds, may advance con dition, but further rains and long-con tinued drought would work serious injury to the crop. Wnile a fair pro duct may yet be possible east of the Mississippi, the condition of that por tion of the crop may be considered somewhat critical. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. Pickled Grapes.—Drop the grapes in hot spiced vinegar. Put up as many as may be desired and nothing in the shape of pickles is superior to them. Preserving- Green Corn With out Canning.—In a large jar put a layer of salt, then a layer of fresh green corn. Thus alternate until the jar is full with the salt and corn. Then cover the top with a thick layer of salt. The day before using take the corn out and put in water to soak. In this way green corn may be used during the winter. A few years ago buttermilk was considered a useless article, excepting in the making of breakfast cakes. People never thought of drinking it, and farmers had no better use for it than to give it to the pigs. Nowa days, however, things are changed, and buttermilk is viewed in a better light. The farmer no longer throws it into the pig pen, but readily sells it at a sweetmilk price to the towns folk, who consider it the most whole some of all summer drinks. Tomatoes in The Winter.— Gather the tomatoes when full grown and before they change color. Put two inches of dry sand in a box; place tlie tomatoes on the sand so as not to touch each other; put a layer of sand on them, then cover another layer of tomatoes and so on. Shallow box es so as to have about four layers of tomatoes is best so as not to get tlie tomatoes mixed up and touching each other. Put them up in this way in as many boxes as may be desired. In cold weath T er keep the boxes in a room where the temperature is moderately warm and uniform. They will ripen and can be used in this way during the greater part of the winter. The more that ifl put up the longer will they last. This lias often been tried successfully and the fruit is as good as when freshly taken from the vines. ssssssssssss BBBH8nHBBflnHaBB9BaaBnMBBHnaKan For Fifty Years the great Remedy for g S Blood PoisonanaSkin Diseases.

To Make Hens La y All Winter. —Let the winter house be tight and warm, give them n6 cold water to drink but let it be moderately warm, r^new the warm water after it be comes cold. Change.tlieir food twice a week, feed occasionally with mash ed potatoes and meal, give them just enough to eat clean when it is warm: if any i? ieft remove it to prevent its being eaten when cold. A little black pepper added is useful in making them lay eggs. Ouee or twice a week throw parts of a cabbage to them. If any is left take it from them to pre vent its being eaten when cold. This is attended witft a little trouble but the result will be a plenty of eggs in the winter. These directions are given by the Maine Farmer. Follow them and gather eggs in abundance in the winter. A Captain’s Fortunate Discovery Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth, plying between Atlantic City and N. ¥., had been troubled with a cough so that he was unable to sleep, and was induced to try Dr. King’s New Discov ery for Consumption. It not only gave him instant relief, but allayed the extreme soreness in his breast. His children were similarly affected and a single dose had the same happy effect. Dr. King’s New Discovery is now the standard remedy in the Cole man household and on board the schooner. Free Trial Bottles of this Standard Remedy at C. L. Case’s Drug Store.

We believe in thoroughly enriching the soil; but do not believe that any rest is needed by it. Keep it growing something, but be careful not 4 to take every thing away from it, with out placing anything on it. Our hint is; let the soil grow one crop for you, and then one crop for itself. While you feed on one crop turn the other crop under and let the soil feed upon that. This is the true theory of bringing up your farm, without large money expenditure, so that it will respond generously to your labor. The green crops turned iqjo the soil act chemically upon all the materials contained in it, fitting them as food for tlie growing crops. They are the great solvents which nature has pro vided to make mineral substances subject to the vegetable kingdom. Jn practice it is merely sowing a few measures of rye in the fall, and plow ing the ground next spring, or, sowing clover in early spring and plowing it in the falL After feeding the soil in this way, it will give you a crop for your own use which will make your heart glad. Transplanting. There is a popular notion that cab bage, cauliflower, celery, and toma toes must be transplanted. One far mer says he grows, many cabbage- plants, sowing them in rows twenty- one inches apart, so they can be cultivated with a harrow. Last year he pulled the plants from every other rowctean, leaving the rows three and a half feet apart from which rows he thinned out the plants as they were needed. Finally be pulled or hoed out the plants until they stood about two feet apart in the rows. As a re sult the cabbage left in tlie rows head ed as well as those which are trans planted. By far the earliest, largest, and best celery, he says, he grew last year was not transplanted. It was formerly thought necessary to make trenches for celery; now few growers in tlie Northern States continue the practice. Will not transplanting soon be equally a thing of the past?
