Many successful farmers have little
or no' acquaintance, scientifically,
with vegetable physiology, but it
would doubtless be of much advan
tage to them to look closely into
some work on that subject. Buch
works can be found in tlie book
stores, and every farmer ought to
have such a work. He would derive
a ereat many ufieful hints that would
be of great advantage to him in plant
ing and gardening. Two workB, one
on planting, and the other on garden
ing, would answer the purpose for the
average farmer and would soon doub
ly and trebly pay him for their cost.
They would teach him the structure
of the organs of plants, and their ap
propriate functions. Much on these
subjects is acquired by reading an
agricultural paper, and valuable sug
gestions on appropriate manures for
the great variety of plants cultivated
in held and garden. The lawyer
must have his law books to enable
him suecSisfully to practice law, and
tile farmer should have his agricultu
ral books to aid him iu the cultivation
of his food and money crops. We
merely throw out these hints for the
benefit of farmers, especially, those
who have had little experience iu the
cultivation of his food and money
crops. Persons, who have been rais
ed to work on farms, follow the prac
tices of their fathers and often succeed
well in their work, but even experi
enced farmers improve their meth
ods by scientific works compiled by
men of experience who have studied
tlie nature of soils with respect to
their utility in producing the best re
sults. Such works are of great utility
in explaining the properties of all tho
manures suitable for the various
grains, for cotton and vegetables, for
sugar and fruits, for tobucco, for tu
berous and iibrous roots, the various
grasses, and every other thing useful
for food for man or beast.
MANUFACTURING.
Co-Operative Farming.
Tim following account of a plan of
co-operative farming is a new and in
teresting feature in the cultivation of
tho soil. II seems to have succeeded
very well and may be adopted in this
country with successful results.
A successful attempt at co-opera
tion in farming is reported in Eng
land. A company of city workmen,
tradesman and mechanics in London,
who were out of employment, united
in an association which rented a run
down farm of 184 acres near London.
They paid a comparatively high rent
al for such land, thirty-five shillings
per acre, but put so much labor on it
tliat the enterprise was a success. The
land was enriched and devoted largely
to market gardening and darying, the
latter increasing as tho association se
cured capital to purchase cows.
Formerly only four men were employ
ed on the farm. Now- it gives con
stant employment to forty, with a
proportionate increase of profit.
This is possibly a suggestive experi
rnent for the unemployed workmen in
some American cities. It is compara
tively easy to secure land on favora
ble terms. The difficulty would be
that too many unemployed working
men would try to shirk the severe
and disagreeable labor inseparable
from any farm operations. Still, if
there is no shirking, these combined
attempts at farming are more likely
to be successful tlian individual at
tempts often made by discouraged
men witli small capital. Co-operu-
tion helps to lessen the burden or
lack of money when each of the part
ners is willing to do hi.s share of the
work.—American Cultivator.
The Value of Coal Tar.
The value of coal tar on the farm is
not generally known. It is tho best
preserver of wood that is known. It
preserves wood for a long time. Even
willow and poplar dipped in it will
last as long as the best seasoned oak.
Apply it while hot. Cast iron imple
ments are rendered rust prool by be
ing dipped in it. Oak wood seasoned,
such as posts, are made to last a third
longer when dipped in the hot tar.
Experiments have shown its great
value.
A few years ago it was quite
commonly supposed that posts
set with tho top end in the
ground would greatly outlast
lawyer; those set with butts down. Prof.
Beal, of Michigan Agricultural
College, lias demonstrated that
there is nothing in this theory.
In 1877 he set posts of thirteen
kinds of timber, some one way
and some another, iu both sandy
and clayey soils. Upon recent ex
amination no perceptible differ
ence was found between those sot
in reverse order and the others.
A remedy considered satisfac
tory for various kinds of insects
in stored grain consists in placing
an open vessel of bi-sulphido of
carbon on top of the grain in a
ti<dit bin.

The South has the advantage of the
North in manufacturing cotton. La
bor is cheaper at tlie Soulli. The cli
mate is milder and living is cheaper.
The South has a greater abundance
of coal, and it is cheaper than north
ern coal. In the South water privi
leges are cheaper. Again the cotton
is grown near the factory, and the
expense of transportation is saved.
Further, the cotton for the Southern
mills need not be packed in bales and
luis would make the southern yarns
stronger and the goods better, baled
cotton has to be heated for carding.
This weakens the fibres. Much baled
cotton is discolored. With care the
whole hundred pounds at the South
is good. When baled and exported it
averages 12 pounds off, to make the
100 pounds of yarn. The South with
care is freed from this loss. Southern
cotton goods ought always to com
mand better prices than English or
Northern.
Let the South make use of these
advantages and her factories, in these
goods, will outstrip all the other fac
tories of the world.
From the Scientific American.
We notice the following taken from
the Scientific American.
••5. The raising of cotton on small
farms should be encouraged. The
plantation system is not adapted to
free labor, and it is steadily breaking
up, but until cotton can be honestly
sold in seed, few small farms will be
opened in the cotton section, for the
reason that a man cannot afford to
buy and operate a gin, if he only
plants a few acres of cotton. Better
cotton and more per acre wiil be ob
tained on small farms than on large
ones.'’
Our readers have noticed llow often
we have recommended the cultiva
tion of less land in. cotton. The rea
son is, the cotton is better worked and
is not injured by cutting out the grass
from the young plants. Young cot
ton plants, injured by the lioe in cut
ting out the grass, never recover
from the injury done them.
The number of people killed by
railroads last year was 41C. The num
ber of passengers transported last
year was over 350,000,000. You can
easily see from these figures what
chances you have of getting killed on
a railroad train.

JOSEPH MILLER,
§. Barrett,
Invites his friends to call and examine hi.s now and complete stock
of Groceries. He has endeavored to open a
First-Class Grocery Store,
in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as he continues in business to
keep up a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to’sell
just as LOW as tho same goods can be sold in this or auy other
market. He does not propose to cut under his Brother Merchants
but it will be a “cold day in August” when he is run out by tho
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.” «He does not sell at COST, he buys from
the best houses, pays cash, gets the benefit of cash discount, and
therefore can and will
Sell Goods as Low as Any One!
To mention tho articles would be useless, suffice it to say, he has
nearly all tho 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.

corn lias more oil than white, and is

A Great Battle
Is continuillly going on in the human
system. The demon of impure blood
strives to gain victory over the con
stitution, to ruin health, to drag vic
tims to the grave. A good reliable
medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla is
tlie weapon with which to defend
one's self, drive tlie desperate enemy
from the field, and restore peace and
bodily health for many years. Try
this peculiar medicine.
It is assumed that tlie Inter State
Commerce bill is directed against the
railroads and that they alone are to
be injured by it. The truth is, tlie
passage of this bill marks the aban
donment of absolute free trade be
tween the States and tlie adoption of
a policy of protection to local indus
tries. New York is to be protected
against the West, and Pennsylvannia
against the South.—Louisville Cour
