Unfermented Wine.—“Pick the grape from the stems and wash. Cook them with as little water as for jelly. When soft, strain through a flannel bag. To one quart of juice allow three quarters of a pound of sugar (granulated.) Let the juice boil and skim it, then put in the sugar and cook until all is dissolved. While boiling hot put in self-sealing jars, or in bottles corked and sealed. Allow one-third juice to two-thirds water for a drink.” Do not forget that feed, and plenty of it, and the right kind, has every-* thing to do with the making of a fine animal. The best Hereford or Short horn, the finest Berkshire or Poland China, will soon degenerate into an inferior animal if not properly fed. Some farmers sell their cattle after they think they have them fattened, when the fact is they are only in shape then to be fattened. Keep good stock and feed well the year round, the result is found when driv en upon the scales. Early Rose Potato.—We see the following in an exchange jmper. "Improved Early Rose potatoes in blossom and in 83 days from planting, will be as large as good sized marbles. These were planted on the 29th of June on land from which crops of grass, oats, and rye had been taken for several years. We copy this merely for the information give.i. Doubtless the same land, after the po tatoes are gathered, will make a good harvest of corn, grass, oats, or ry;e. The cultivation of the potatoes shades and loosens the ground preparing fit for any of these crops. * The Tomato.—In the same paper it is said “the evolution of the toma to is going on in a remarkable way. Not many years ago the fruit was mostly skin and seeds, but the newest varieties are almost soild pulp, with a few seeds. Possibly, as in the case of the banana, the seeds will yet disap pear altogether, and the plants will have to be propagated by cuttings.” We think this would be a great disad vantage. It would certainly be a far more tedious and troublesome way to get that delightful vegetable, so uni versally cultivated, now, in America, Europe and other countries. Most people we doubt not would prefer to take tomatoes with a fair proportion of seeds. Cutting Timber.—We would sug gest to those who have not thought of. or bceome acquainted with the fact, that August is the month for cutting timber to make it last. Per haps the last half of July and Septem ber would come under the rule. All timber for fences, repairs, and most other purposes, lasts much longer when cut under these limits as to time, than in any other periods of the year. Some kinds of wood, cut then, will last two or three times as long as at other periods. We need not enter into giving the reason for it, as the experience of close observers, almost universally attest the truth of the plan. The periods referred to find the growers of cotton v.ery busy in gath ering the crop; but there are days when that work cannot be done, and in times, too wet to gather cotton, the timber can be cut without any injury to it. Cleanliness and healthy food are the essential prerequisites to healthy and thrifty pigs. Pigs are the worst abus ed class of domestic animals on the farms. It seems to be expected of them that they can thrive on filthy food. Give them clean pens or bet ter still, a run on the ground in warm weather, with green food as part of their diet. Good stock cared for properly will seldom show disease or bring losses to their owners. One of the best, well-tried and al ways successful preventives of dis ease among swine is to keep a trough, to which they can always have ac cess, filled with a mixture composed of 60 parts of wood ashes, 20 parts salt, 12 parts sulphur and 8 parts copperas. The pigs will regulate their doses. Prof. Turner of Jacksonville, 111., has been successful with this preventive, as already composed by him. MOVABLE FENCES. Very often it isdesirable to move fences for small lots, in order to have them enriched by the droppings pt cattle, sheep &c. • In the Iong run, it will be more convenient to have some other material to enclose them, than our old fashioned rails, One of the best ma terials for this is the barbed isfijre. It is put up and can be obtained with little trouble so that a small lot may be enclosed in an hour or that will keep out dogs if it is desired to make a small enclosure. Barbed portable wire fences can be put up and taken down in a very short time. They, too, will keep out dogs so that sheep can not be troubled by them. PASTURES AND COWS. Pastures are of great importance of course, but dairymen say there are few pastures that will carry a herd of cows through the summer and keep up the flow of milk without feeding them at the barn. Pastures become parched and fall to furnish as much food as is needed. It is important, therefore, to have green food grow ing such as rye, green corn sown broadcast, from which to supply the deficiency in food; and for milchcows various kinds of mixtures such as boiled peas, with bran to obtain the full flow of milk. When pastures be gin to fall off these are essential. To Sow Grass Seed. Some, who have much experience in sowing grass seed, say that the lat ter part of August and the month of September are the best periods of the year for sowing them. This is quite probable for the seed and grass plants have the benefit of our second spring. They grow off well and the roots are not injured by the mild winters of the South, and with their strong roots continue to grew off finely the next spring and summer. The grass seeds sown in the spring run the risk of being killed, or greatly checked by the hot summer months. In the South we would prefer to sow them early in September. They would be liable to be killed, or the young shoots much retarded by the hot sun in August. We always have some good rains in September. We are often somewhat roasted and stewed by the hot August sun; but in Sep tember it loses much of its fervent heat and shines in softened splendor. With September rains it sustains the young grass, and the sun, from its fading throne, dispenses a temperate heat so favorable to the growth of the tender grass plants. Out of abun dant caution we should prefer the month of September to the hot and fiery August. Pastures of native grass, clover, lu cerne, or any other growth, should not be cropped too close and especially are they injured by the tread of the stock just after rains. To avoid this, one should have a patch of rye or other growth, to be used mainly for stock, to prevent too close cropping of the main pasture and especially after rain. There will be no loss in this. After rains, or after the main pasture has been tolerably closely cropped, put the stock in some con venient enclosure and feed there for some days or from the rye, lucerne, or clover patch. This will keep the stock up and allow the large pasture to recover from too close cropping and from the great evil of being trod den upon after a heavy rain. Two good effects result from this; it pre vents the pasture from being trodden after rain, or being so closely cropped as to be temporarily unfit for sup plying the stock with a sufficiency of food, and best of all prevents the stock from falling off for want of suf ficient food. It is a great loss in stock raising to let them suffer even for a few days from lack of sufficient food, and it requires not only time, but a great deal more food to enable them to make up the loss in flesh. This is often overlooked, and rain or shine, whether the pasture has to a considerable extent failed or not, the stock is often turned in day after day to the great injury of both. This matter is well worth consideration, and the plan we suggest will remedy the evil alluded to. Bill Arp on Farming. GEORGIA DAIRIES. Some attention is being given to the establishment of dairies in Geor gia for making butter. It can be made a profitable business in our State. The uncertainty, which attaches to the profitable culture of cotton, is likely to cause attention to dairy pro ductions. The grocers in Georgia, we have no doubt will encourage those who enter into this business. When some enterprising people will go heartily into this business, and furn ish articles of real excellence, grocers will be found to take their products and lend a helping hand. Unlike cot ton it may be made a profitable busi ness. Nothing is wanted but good grasses, good milk stock, and earnest efforts on the part of those who en gage in the business. No one can doubt that the grasses will grow lux uriantly; the stock can be obtained and Georgia can furnish all the neces sary skill. Success we firmly believe will follow a proper effort in this de" sirable line. SELF HELP. This is the same old story. History keeps on repeating itself. The few will get rich—the many will stay poor and grumble. Tiberius passed an agrarian law, 2000 years ago and took the lands away from the rich and divi ded them in small farms and gave every citizen so many acres, accord ing to quality, and in ten years’ time one-tenth of them owned all the lands and the others were their tenants. From that time on, the Gracchii and others tried the same experiment at different times, but it did no good and brought trouble, and every effort that ever has been made to make all men equal has failed, for'it is against the order or nature. Some men will get ahead of others by industry, some by good luck, and some by inheritance, and some by good management, and some by tricks and rascality. Some men who have a fair start and are dil igent in business, seem to have a bad run of luck and lose their estates by fir© or flood or something else; but most men lose by working too little and spending too much. The poverty of most people is more generally their own fault than their misfortune. It is easily possible for one healthy young man to make enough on rented land to support eight persons, and that is just what the world is doing accord ing to the best statistics. One-eighth of the population supports the rest. If a young man will start out at twen ty-one to work on a farm, and will be diligent and prudent and only spend what is actually necessary to keep himself comfortable, he will be a rich man by the time he is forty. If he marries a prudent woman who will be a helpmate and not a mill stone, it will be no draw back on his progress. She can raise children, and chickens, and cook, and cheer him up and comfort him and in their old age they will have enough to secure them against want and give their children a reasonable start. There is really no necessity for the masses of the farming people to suffer in this bless ed land. The chronic grumblers and those who envy the rich, are about the meanest people we have got, and they are the laziest. I have rumina ted over all trades and conditions, and am satisfied that a comfortable farmer who is not rich enough to be proud and not poor enough to steal, beg or suffer, has more reason to be happy than any other class. A man ouglit’nt to be rich enough to get lazy and fat and do nothing. The middle class are the happiest—the class that are not obliged to sell their cotton or corn as soon as it is made or a little sooner. sssssssssssss s s s s s s For Fifty Years the great Remedy for Blood Poison and Skin Diseases.

The following are some of the main features of the disease. Drooping ears, low-hanging head, diarrhoea, vomiting, rapid breathing and an aversion to light. Sometimes, in mild attacks, all of these symptoms' are not present, but when all or most of them appear, the case may be considered dangerous. The first thing to be done is to separate the affected hog from the rest, and place it totally out of the reach of the others. The following are some of the rem edies resorted to. Put some shelled corn in a basket and poor over it some spirits of turpentine. Do not soak the corn in the turpentine but merely wet it with it. The corn will very soon become dry but will be suf ficiently impregnated with the tur pentine. Throw a handful of this oornto each hog effected with the dis ease, every two or three days. No tice whether he eats it and if not, con tinue to throw some to it until he does eat it. Another remedy is this: Boil some corn in ley and feed it to the sick hogs or keep ashes in a trough where the hog is fed, and pour shelled corn over the asheB. This is said to be one of the best remedies. Another remedy, well recommended is to feed with slop in which pine tops have been well stirred, or meal, boil ed with pine tops. Still another is to drench the hog with two tablespoonsful of epsom salts dissolved in water, in case he is too sick to take it in his food. This is highly recommended. A preventive of cholera among hogs is the following and is highly recom mended. Boil pokeberry roots with the food once a week. If hog cholera should be in the neighborhood it is well to try this as a preventative. Planters Attention! When you come to town, call on L. H. WOOD k CO, and see tlieir stock and prices. 10,000 lbs.

Milledgeville, Ga., June 10th, 1885. 48 ly Agricultural Implements —AND— Despite all that philosophers or cranks may write, every man has to help himself. The Creator so ordain ed and there can be no exemption. But it is wise to pay heed to the way of best caring for one’s self. What is commonly called selfishness is not that way. It is full of dangers to the best part of a man, grows rougher as it lengthens. It comes to be a very nervous route and the traveler has few companions or friends when he reaches the end of it. It is lonesome. Selfishness defeats itself. True self help consists in the recogni tion of others and studying the gener al good as it includes that of each. No man can neglect others and take good care of himself. We are all tied up in a bundle. According to English physicians we get our scarlet fever from the cow, or at least, the disease can come from that direction. An epidemic of scar let fever in one part of London was traced to a proven infected dairy. It is the opinion of the physicians that the milk while in the udder of the dis eased cow was healthy enough, but in the act of milking became charged with germs from sores on the udders.
