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. Royal Baking Powder Co., 106 Wall St. New York. 19 ly. 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. “Lo! the poor Indian!” tramping about in all sorts of weather, and dy ing with cold. Won’t some “good Samaritan” send him a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup? 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.” • o An intelligent person w r hen hurt will at once procure a btotle of Sal vation Oil. It is the best thing to cure swellings, burns, or w'ounds. All druggists sell it, at twenty-five cents a bottle. 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 entific American. *V> • ' ’ or dial I'-'feO v C U E :> DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, WEAKNESS, CHILLS AMD FEVERS, MALARIA, LIVER COMPLAINT, KIDNEY TROUBLES, NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM.
