Now York. 1J *> • Hgricultural uEpartmEnti 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 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.

Watches and Jewelry I Tlie undersigned has a beautiful and superb stock of goods, suitable for Holiday Presents, consisting of valuable and useful articles, such as Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, Silverware, Vases, Tablo Cutlery, musical instruments, Dressing Cases, Pocket Knives, Canes, Spectacles, Crockery and Glassware, Thimbles, Scissors, Gold Pens and Pencils, a specialty. The Public are Invited to Gall and examine my stock. I will take great pleasure in showing my goods, and feel assured that I can please the most fastidious in anything they may desire iu my line from Watches and Diamonds, down to a Jewsliarp. 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.

White corn is better for working horses and young growing stock. This is what experi menters say. Thk Hay Crop ok tiik United States.—The crop of 1885 was about 80,000,000 of tong. But there was a crop, tiie year not given, of a larger hay crop by several millions of tons. Cattle, with horns, are generally more combattive than those without horns and tlie keeper needs always to be more on his guard. Some sections of the South, espec- j ially in the warmer portions of Texas ought to command the beef markets of the United States. She can feed in part on corn as well as grass. Thousands upon thousands of beeves are lost in the snows of tho cold northwest. Taking every tiling into considera tion tlie South is the garden portion of the United States.

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 ier-Journal.
