POWDER
Absolutely Pure.
This powder never varies. A ninrvel 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. Bold only in cans.

Winter is on tho wane ami in Feb
ruary we have a goodly share of
pleasant sunshine and gardening op
erations may begin with a fair pros
pect of pleasing results. We repeat
what we have said so often, plant
cautiously. Nearly every one is fond
of the sweet, juicy -English pea. Some
have sown already. Some sow every
ten or twelve days. Let the ground be
well broken up. For early planting
the Little Gem is a great favorite and
so i,» Hoist's Extra Early. Both are
very lucjous especially Hoist's, and

slow mt i oce every two weeks, stop
ping when the weather gets hot.
Piant potatoes. None are better than
the Early Rose. Plant any of the
kind of seed recommended in last
week's issue. Notice your last year’s
Irish potato bed. If the rows have
volunteers work around them and
plant fresh potatoes where they ore
missing. Some have only one plant
ing and many of the potatoes rot
where they are placed. The best
plan is to have three plantings: one
now, one in March, and one in April.
Let the plantings he three weeks a-
part, then when the first give out, the
2nd and 3rd plantings will ho ready
for use in the order of gathering.
This saves loss from decaying-
Cabbage seed are usually planted
for draws to set out. Many now,
merely thin out. Every one should
have long collards in abundance for
winter use. They are as good as cab
bages after several frosts. Some sow
turnips now, for early spriag use.
They must be sown in July or Au
gust for winter use. Get good garden
manuals which give abundant direc
tions for every kind of vegetables.
They tell when to sow and how to
manage. We have planted extra
early corn in February and had roast
ing ears on the table by the first of
April. Every vegetable can be had
for months, by sowing and planting
every two weeks. Wehave had corn
on the table after several frosts. We
have referred to these garden matters
for inexperienced young people, and
not for the experienced and older
persons who know as much about
gardening as we do and some of them
more.
Formers in the South can make all
the butter they need. Make careful
selection of good milkers and never let
a milch cow he poor in the early
spring. Feed, then, and for a long
time, will go to giving her flesh ana
strength and hut little milk. This
should he remembered. Many feed
their poor mileh cows high in the
spring months, and are surprised at
the small quantity of milk given. The
reason is the high feed then goes into
the poor cow s Uesh and not Into the
milk. The people of Georgia can
make all tile meat they require much
cheaper than they can buy it, and by
careful attention they can raise their
own horses. This would enable them
to stand better the high tariff tax
upon clothing and the implements of
husbandry. They could save a great
deal by taking better care of the lat
ter. And it becomes all who are in
debt, or iu very moderate circumstan
ces, to take good care of everything
they buy in that line, or for clothing
and comfort. The fax on rice is over
100 per cent, gloss from 55 to 100, iron
between 58 and 00, paints from 05 to
‘450, salt about 70, molasses and su
gar from 50 to nearly 100, blankets
from 70 to 100, flannels 70 odd. These
are only a few of the exorbitant per
cents put upon a great variety of arti
cles. The high per cents exclude the
foreign goods, anil the manufacturers
in this country, get the benetit of the
tax. For every dollar received by
the United States Treasury, the ina.ii-
ufacturies get four, and the agricultu
rists get nothing. Indeed they pay
indirectly tlie greater portion of the
whole tax in purchasing the goods at
the high prices of the manufacturers.
Much reason there is for us to advise
the farmers to buy as little as possible
so as to diminish the tax upon them
to the greatest possible extent.
A little potash or potasli salts added
to the fertilizers used, give a valuable
increase to the production of all the
grains.
Crop Rotation.
There can ho no set system of crop
rotation adapted to any and all cir
cumstances. The composition of the
soil, tlie character of tiie climate and
the condition of the market must all
he taken into consideration. Hence,
no man should rush blindly into the
operation, trusting to blundering
and luck for success. Those farms
situated near large markets with
cheap and frequent communica
tion, and for which good supplies of
manure can he easily obtained, are
often devoted to the growth of those
particular products which meet with
the most ready sale in the market so
close at baud, and here a (Ixed system
of rotation would he of little account.
But there are principles to be observ
ed in changing from one crop to an
other; for example, among the best
market gardnert* it has been well un
derstood that cabbages, turnips and
peas should not he grown on tho
same piece of land without an Inter
val, although they have been grown
successfully for several seasons with
out u change. When the change is
made it should be tho aim to put in
crops that are quite different in their
demands upon tlie soil.—American
Cultivator.
A Clear Statement.
Southern Cultivator
Among the great number and varie
ty of farm products on exhibition in
thi
lie Department Hall none more de
serve the attention of progressive
farmers than the very line stalks of
cotton. Only two days since Dr. J. J.
Hearing, of Newton county, brought
in a stalk which contained (actual
count) 3(10 perfect open bolls of cot
ton. It is claimed by the grower that
the bolls will weigh eighty to tho
pound, and that the seed cotton will
yield forty per cent, of lint. The bolls
being of full size and the soe.l evi
dently very small the claim is reason
able, and probably not overthb mark.
Let us '‘calculate'' a little; Three
hundred and sixty bolls at eighty to
the pound will yield 4.‘25 pounds of
seed cotton, (it forty per cent, of lint,
this would give 1:7 pounds of lint.
Assume that such cotton would re
quire a distance of 1x4 feet, and we
would have on one acre, stalks,

No "lass of cattle has met with
greater favor in tlie South than the
Jersey. Southern farmers are not
likely to become producers of beef,
hut milk and butter are necessary
everywhere, and for these for family
use the Jersey is unexcelled. Jersey
cows are natives of a milder climate
than our Northern winter, and in the
sunny South tlie fact that their but
ter is of liner texture than that from
other cows is no inconsiderable advan
tage.—American Cultivator.
The estimated value of California
crops of dried fruits, raisins, prunes,
nuts and honey for 1885 was $3,500,000.
The Southern states could make a
valuable sum to their gains by adding
honey to their productions. The pe
can tree is found to yield bountifnlly
in Georgia and other Southern states
and should be extensively cultivated
for profit.
Wo invite all our Patrons and Friends to come and examine our
new goods, which we tiro daily receiving. Wo can suit tiny man’s
pocket book, both in quality and price of goods. We do not pro-
j pose to make any cuts on ju ices but will sell you what you want and
Guarantee Satisfaction on all Goods.
We would say, particularly to our regular patrons, that at all times,
wo will try to ii 11 their orders with tlie
Nicest and Freshest Goods,
tlie market affords. Wo do not buy in very large lots,
often. By this means, we can always sell fresh goods,
particular attention to
Our Stock of Flour,
which is complete. We have on hand “White Swan,” “White
Loaf,” “White Satin” and “Jersey.” Tho abovo grades are patents.
Then wo havo also “New Constitution,” “Moss Rose,” and “Odd
Trump.” If you want nice white bread, buy good Flour and the
best Lard. We havo the finest Leaf Lard on hand, which cost very
little moro than poor stuff.
Our stock of Canned Goods, cannot be excelled. Fancy Candy
and Crackers of all kinds.
If farming operations are managed
right in the South our people could do
as well as any intliejworld. No country
can beat Florida for oranges, or the
entire South for cotton. Plant less
and make a hale to the acre, and make
nearly everything else needed for
home consumption.
Purify your blood, tone up the sys
tem, and regulate the digestive or
gans by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Sold by all druggists.
It should generally he arranged to
have heifers drop their first calf in
April or May. At this time they
come into flow of milk when green
food is abundant, and this lias a good
effect in enlarging the milk glands
and thus increasing the tendency to
great milk production through ' all
their after life.
By the last United States census, it
appears that 777,350,287 pounds of
butter were made on tlie farm, 10,471,-
103 pounds in factories, and 12,950,021
in skim-cheese factories, a total of
800,072,071 pounds. At 25 cents a
pound the value was $301,008,005.
Stone fruits are much improved
and more certain by manuring with
potash, peaches especially. Manure
the roots with wood ashes or mu
riate of potash. They are also
a remedy for the yellows.
Manuring corn with commercial
fertilizers furnishes corn for use a
week or ten days earlier than where
stable manure alone is used. Tills good
result is effected by mixing them it de
sired.
ASTONISHING SUCCESS.
It is the fluty of every person who has
used Bosoheo’s German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, sever"
Coughs, Croup, Asthma. Pneumonia, and
in fact nil throat and lung diseases. No
person cau use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any ease,.and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to tho poor, dying tonsump
tivo. at least to try one bottle, as 80,000
dozen bottles wore sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was reported, Such
a medicine os the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try, sold at 10
cents. Regular size, 7a cents. Sold by nil
Druggists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.

Invites his friends to call and examine his new and complete st
if Groceries. He has endeavored to open a
First-Class Grocery Store,
in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as he continues in business
keep up a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to
just as LOW as tho samo goods can be sold in this or any 0 ty
market. Ho docs not propose to cut under his Brother Merely
but it will bo a “cold day in August” when he is run out bv i
Brother who proposes to undersell him. His advantages are
better than any other man, BDT JUST AS GOOD, and lie can
afford to meet their prices. Ho
Makes a Small Profit on all he Sell
and “Don’t you forget it.” Ho does not sell at COST, he buys fJ
tho best houses, pays cash, gets the benetit of cash discount,
therefore can and will
Sell Goods as Low as Any One!
To mention the articles would bo useless, suffice it to say, ho U
nearly all the goods usually kept in a First-Class Grocery Storo
cities of any size. Ho will endeavor, by STRICT HONESTY, ai
polito attention, to merit a full share of the public patronage, anl
if successful in business, will promise to do all he can to build «|
