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 tests, short weight, alum
or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans.

Agricultural uEpartmEnt.
In our agricultural columns, of the
16th inst., in an article headed “Gar
dening” we advised our readers who
had gardens to sow now cabbage,
beet, turnip, carrot, radish, kale,
parsnip, lettuce, collard, rape, salsify,
spinach seeds and onion sets. \Ve
notice this because by some accident
the article did not get in as it should
have done two weeks before. We
said some seeds can be sown now and
the remark would have been appro
priate as to these seed if the sugges
tion had appeared then. We prefer
to make this correction for the loss of
the two weeks rendered our statement
inappropriate on the 16th of Novem
ber. That date was too late for every
one of them except turnips and onion
sets which may be sown and set out
even yet.
Fertilizers.
There has been in the last 12 or 15
years a great increase in the value of
fertilizers. Twelve or fourteen years
ago most of the fertilizers used in
Georgia, contained on an average not
more than 5 per cent, of phosphoric
acid available for vegetable life. The
people of Georgia, it was estimated
in the former time or perhaps still
farther back, paid (of course we guess
at it) about $3,500,000 for these infe
rior fertilizers and now they obtain
at about the same price the ^sarne
quantity containing from 12 to 17 per
cent, of phosphoric acid, worth two
or three times as much as those re
ferred to 12 or 15, or perhaps 20 years
ago. Stable manure and such as is
obtained in cow' lots, and made into
composts, can be taken to the fields
in carts but commercial fertilizers
should be taken out in sound bags
and used with care to prevent loss.
Egg Biscuit.—Two cups of warm
milk, two eggs, two heaping table
spoonfuls of butter, half a cake of
compressed yeast dissolved in warm
water, one quart of sifted flour, one
teaspoonful of salt; mix with the but
ter (melted but not hot) the yeast,
salt, and three cups of flour together
over night, and set in a covered bowl
to rise. Early in the morning add
the beaten eggs and the rest of the
flour, and set for a second rising of an
hour or longer. When light, roll into
a sheet almost an inch thick, cut into
round cakes and lay in a floured bak
ing pan. At the end of half an hour,
bake in a good oven. They are del -
cious, cold or hot.
Clover is not good pasture for milch
cows. If turned on it very early cat
tle will eat the older grass bare from
the fence corners before eating the
clover, and will only eat the latter
w hen forced by hunger.
Provided all other elements of good
culture are cared for, it is almost im
possible to give fruit trees too much
manure. Much of the trouble with
fruit trees comes from their being half
starved.
An English paper, the London
Mark Lane Express, publishes a table
giving the prices of English wheat in
London since 1641—a period of 245
years. The highest figure was in 1812,
$30.38 per quarter, and the lowest in
1743, $5.30 per quarter. The present
price is $7.82 per quarter.
Our native persimmons are not of
much account as yet, but the:- intro
duction of improved varieties from
Japan is likely to bring this fruit into
prominence. It is recommended
where the native varieties thrive to
graft them with the improved sorts.
The fruit is large and showy, and is
preferred by many to the plum. As
the persimmon is too tender for the
North, its cultivation will be confined
to the South. Extensive arrange
ments for planting it are now' being
made in Florida.
Cough in Horses.—Be careful in
feeding to see that the hay given is
bright and clean and wet with water.
At night give a soft bran mash, in
which put a handful of flaxseed meal,
or whole flaxseed washed clean. A
little elecampane root every other
day is good, as is also a little tea of
slippery elm bark in the drinking wa
ter. He ought not to be driven fast
while the cough continues, as it will
affect the lungs and render a cure less
speedy or certain.

Nut Gra»» Killed by Last Winter's
Cold.
When I moved to this place a year
ago last spring there was a half acre
in the middle of the farm given up en
tirely to the domination of nut grass.
It was as completely sodded with it as
land could be with any grass. I used
it exclusively for grazing my cows
and horses during the spring and sum
mer. But last October I concluded to
sow r the whole piece in oats. I seeded
it pretty heavily and plowed them in
with a one-horse Watt plow', and as I
turned up the sod the whole surface
seemed covered with the nuts. My
oats were killed by the severe winter,
but I re-sowed in February, plowing
in with a scooter. As soon as Spring
set in I began to look out for a heavy
crop of nut grass, but to my astonish
ment I could not find any, and up to
this time it has not made its appear
ance. In fact, I am sure that on an
acre of ground, if it was all carefully
gathered, you would not get as much
as a peck. I am confident that its de
struction is due entirely to the hard
freezes of last winter. It is a brand
new idea to me that cold weather will
destroy this noted pest, but I now
feel satisfied of this fact. The plowing
certainly had no effect towards killing
it, except to bring the nuts to the sur
face and thereby expose them to the
cold. How intense the degree of cold
must be, I can’t say, but last winter’s
cold seemed to be sufficient to do the
work that the ingenuity of man has
heretofore been unable to accomplish.
I propose to repeat the dose on the
same piece of land again next winter
and watch carefully the results.
Wm. S. Neel.
Newton county, Ga.
The Southern Cultivator on this re
marks: The above is an interesting
statement and the matter is worthy
of further testing. It may be, as the
land had not been planted for some
time, that the nuts were rather near
the surface and were pretty much all
brought up and exposed by the plow'.
As corroborative of above a small
patch which appeared on our grounds
last year, and which did not have time
to establish a very firm foothold, has
not show'n as yet a living plant this
year; whereas an old sod of nut grass
which has not been plowed for some
years is now growing luxuriantly.
He Wanted Credit.
From the Americus, Ga., Recorder.
x\s an instance of the colored broth
er’s shrewdness in driving a bargain,
and the celerity with which he makes
a purchase when credit is offered him,
w r e cite the following instance which
occurred in one of our stores recently.
An unknow’n country darky dropped
in, and among the many other things
looked at he priced an overcoat.
The merchant, as is his w ont, priced
him the coat very cheap for cash, but
the darky declined to purchase it and
was shown another one at less price
This wras likewise declined as w r ere
several others, all of which had been
offered him at a very small margin of
profit. The merchant, who by the
way know's how to drive a bar
gain as w'ell as his neighbors,
finally decided in his despair at
not effecting a sale, to resort
to the credit dodge in the hope of
accomplishing the result desired, and
to this end selected from his stock a
coat which cost him $1.65, and which
he w'ould have willingly taken “cost”
for. This he offered to the intelligent
and honest black philosopher for ten
dollars, agreeing to charge tw r o dol
lars of it and accept the remaining
eight dollars cash. The coon
bit at the offer with the alacri
ty of a cat fish swallowing a
worm, and without examining the coat
or even trying it on, he took it and
went on his way rejoicing, elated
with the idea of having got it partly
at least on a credit. * The merchant is
rather indifferent about the payment
of the two dollar balance which wrs
“charged.”

An intelligent person w r hen hurt
will at once procure a btotle of Sal

Scuppernong grapes require but lit
tle pruning. All that is necessary is
to take out the young growth v'hen
it becomes too crowded, and this
should be done in October or No
vember.
The Chicago Tribune says: “It is
infinitely easier for a farmer’s boy to
come to the city and succeed than for
a town bread man to go into the coun
try and make a good farmer. Even
where townsmen are willing or eager
to abandon the pleasures of the city
life and engage in agricultural toil and
self denial there is not one chance in
ten that they can succeed.” It is said
to be the dream of every Parisian
shop-keeper to own a little rural home
near the great city. Thou ands re
alize the dream and discover it to be a
night mare.
Buyers of potatoes very properly
reject, as poisonous, the green tubers.
It is, however, a mistake to attribute
“the green color to the poison used
in destroying the potato beetle. The
tuber is made green by exposure to
the sun, and is poisonous, just as po
tato tops are when green. In this
condition potatoes are unfit for food,
but are better for seed than those
grown deeper in the soil. It is a good
plan to place potatoes intended for
seed in as light a place as possible,
two or three weeks before planting.”
'This would be a comparatively happt
world if everybody knew the virtues of
SMITH’S BILE BEANS as a family
medicine., and acted upon that know*
ledge. One half the misery of the world
comes from ailments which arise from
a bad stomach or a bad liver. Chiefest
among these are dyspepsia, biliousness
E1 ^k headache and Neuralgia.

Every one has a care for sore throat,
but simple remedies appear to be most
effectual. Salt and water is used by
many as a gargle, but a little alum
and honey dissolved in sage tea is bet
ter. An application of cloths wrung
out of hot water and applied to the
neck, changing as often as they begin
to cool, has the most potency for re
moving inflammtion of anything we
ever tried. It should be kept up for
a number of hours. During the even
ing is usually the most convenient
time for applying this remedy.—Sci
