Most experienced farmers first break up the land but as a general rule not deep enough. This lias been caused in no small degree for want of time. But that want of time has been caus ed by the use of more land than is necessary. If a farmer wants to plant a hundred acres, and he is pushed to accomplish it and imperfectly plows it, it will yield him less corn than sev enty-five acres properly prepared. In breaking up. the rows should be close together ami the plows should go at least 7 or 8 inches deep. It Is better to give this plowing a week or ten days before planting. It is quite cus tomary now to plant a little closer than formerly. A width of live or six feet, will not make as much corn as four and a half by four feet. If it is to be plowed both ways, 4 by 4, will be the proper distance. Some main tain the 41 by 4 is better. After breaking up and lettfng the laud lie for a week or ten days, lay it off with a long rooter, or long narrow shovel followed if possible by a subsoil plow. If to be plowed only one way, drop the corn 2i feet apart, and put the manure upon it in liberal quanti ty, whether rotted stable man ure, cotton seed or commercial fertil izer, and cover well with the hoe. As soon as it is from 4 to 0 inches in height, run a furrow close to the corn and follow with the hoe levelling the earth well around the corn, and pulling up with the hand any grass or weeds close to the corn. The rough use of the hoe to remove either, close to the corn, will set it back in its growth. After this it should be gone over with the plow and hoe at least twice, at intervals of 10 or 12 days. If a rain should occur to suit these intervals let the com be plowed while the ground is still quite moist. The most experienced farmers say that a plowing, then, is equal to a good manuring. Many practice the plan of plowing only one way, openingja furrow in the center and sowing peas, thus getting a crop of peas as well as corn. If the planter wishes to put corn in a hun dred acres and will plantln only seven ty-live and do it well, he will obtain a greater yield than from a hundred acres run over loosely, In a hurry, and he will save a good deal of labor for man and horse. It Is a good plan to break up the land well two weeks before planting, but if,that cannot be done let it be broken up at least a week before. At least two, or even three seed, should be throw to each place. Two stalks may be left where the width and distance is given for it, and a great advantage is secured in this us the weak stalk or stalks may be pulled up leaving the strong and vigorous plant. FEEDING HORSES. Horses will seldom be sick if treated right. They should not be under or over fed. Row will one know how to manage this? By experiment. If a horse is at work every day give him such a quantity of the kind of food you use, as you think will answer of corn or hay or fodder; measure one and weigh tile other. If he eats all increase the quantity of each a lit tle until you find lie leaves a little of one or the other. By this means one soon finds out the proper quantity for him. It is said that the English'give tli« r horses, when they are worked hard, from 12 to is pounds of hay and a peck of oats per day. Wo should think that insufficient. It would he better to give him 8 to 10 pounds of hay and as much oats as he would eat, We feed horses, mainly, on corn and fodder anil can soon find out the proper quantity by the plan suggest ed. There is more danger from liis drinking too much than over-feeding especially in hot weather. It is dan gerous to give a horse water from a well, or spring, especially when just from hard work, or even from a branch, if he lias been long without water. Many a farmer has lost a horse for want of care in feeding and drinking. When not at work less food is necessary. The use of paris green on potatoes and othee things kills many bees and insects that are useful, and also de stroys many small birds. Rotten potatoes should he burned or buried. Their manurial value is small, stock will not eat them, and their presence about the premises is an invitation to disease. ORCHARDS. On most farms there are some hilly places from which the soil soon wash es away when planted in corn and | cotton. Such hilly lands should be used for orchards. They are better for orchards than level lands and as I they require hut little plowing they would last indefinitely for peaches, | apples and other fruits. A little salt is as necessary to the well being of animals ns to that of human beings, but it should not he given in excess as some do, thinking it will make milch cows drink a great deal of water and that will greatly in crease the flow of milk. Experienced dairymen say an excess of salt will di minish the llowofmilk. Experience has shown this is an error. Too much salt produces scours, diminish es the flesh of animals, anil if kept up will dry up the milk and often kill the cows. Neither cows nor horses will take too much salt if put in the troughs to which they can have ac cess. Nature tells them when to stop. That is a far better plan than’ to put salt in excess in their food. Many intelligent fruit growers from long experience and observation say that the failure in fruit is greatly ow ing to the poverty of the soil. In some orchards .the trees grow large enough to promise fruit, hut do not yield it except perhaps in small quan tities. The application to the soil of such orchards of a due amount of manure and lime has been found to have a wonderful effect, Digging in such a mixture has been found to fill apple and peach trees with as much fruit as the trees ought to pro duce. Those who recommend this application say it will invariably work well. A great many porsons are neglect ful of their rnsberry vines. This fruit diminishes rapidly if not properly at tended to. It throws up a great many canes which should he thinned out early. All should be taken away from the bed but two or three to get a good crop of fruit. The calf horn in the fall, fairly-well wintered, and given the vigorous growth that grass food gives the fol lowing summer, makes a better cow than the spring-raised one, and she is two years old—the right time for the birtli of her first, calf. Time intelligently given to bees will pay equally well with that given to any other kind of farm work; and where too many are kept it may he done at such times as not to interfere with other important work. Experiments with nearly all kinds of feeding materials shows that it is cheaper to use a variety than to con fine the animals to a single kind. The London Daily News says that the year 188(5 willl stand out conspicu ously in the horticultural annals of England as one of the heaviest fruit years ever known. A Vermont farmer sets his liens on nests made in nail-kegs half l ull of wet horse-manure covered with dry straw, and has great success in hatching. On smooth land always tend corn with the cultivator instead of the plough. It saves time and labor. A few tubs of poor butter in an in voice may bring the average price down below the line of profit.

He lias endeavored to open a, First-Class Grocery Store, in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as lie continues in business to keep up a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to sell just as LOW as the same goods can bo sold in this or any other market. He does not propose to cut under his Brother Merchants but it will bo a “cold day in August” when ho is run out by the Brother who proposes to undersell him. His advantages are no better than any other man, BUT JUST AS GOOD, and he can well afford to meet their prices. He Makes a Small Profit on all he Sells, and “Don’t you forget it.” Ho does not sell at COST, he buys from the best houses, pays cash, gets tho benefit of cash discount, and therefore can and will Sell Goods as Low as Any One! To mention the articles would bo useless, suffice it to say, ho has nearly all the goods usually kept in a First-Class Grocery Store in cities of any size. He will endeavor, by STRICT HONESTY, and polite attention, to merit a full share of the public patronage, and if successful in business, will promise to do all he can to build up the interest of the city that has so kindly received him.
