COTTON.
A great deal of advice is given to
farmers in the public press advising
them to make less cotton which they
very properly do not follow. They
must have money, and cotton is their
great money crop to save them from
litter prostration. We have, with dpe
modesty, occasionally, tendered our
advice, but we have not expressed the
opinion that it would be well for them
to diminish their number of bales.
We would be glad to see them in
crease the number from year to year,
Tiie demand for cotton will never
grow less, but on the other hand, It
will constantly increase. What we
have ventured to suggest, from time
to time, was to use fewer acres and
make more than they do. We have
published various instances in which
it was shown that cultivators of cot
ton made a bale, or more, to the
acre. We have been cognizant of the
fact that farmers have devoted as
many as twenty acres to cotton re
sulting in securing only five bales or
less from that quantity of land. In
deed. we have known instances in
which not more than three bules
were obtained from twenty-five acres.
The great trouble, with many, lias
been laborious work on too many
lit res of poor land. It would not bo
a difficult mutter to make a bale to
the acre with a great diminution of
labor and expense. The true policy,
it seems to us, is to use few acres and
make a bale to the acre, or at any
rate a bale to every two acres. The
number ot bales would be vastly in
creased if a cotton crop would make
half a bale to the acre, and many
thousands of dollars would be saved
in diminished cost of cultivation.
Every farmer knows how hard he
has to work, and often, how grassy
his crop becomes from the great
length of time it takes to get over liis
large number of acres. Many farm
ers pitch their crops on too large a
scale for tlie force at their command,
and they are bowed down under the
result, with family expenses to meet,
with the addition of the cunning tariff
tux they have to meet to add to the
wealth of the grasping manufactur
er. If a man has already pitched his
crop on a scale that will tax every en
ergy of his horse and himself, no mat
ter whether the lund is well manured
or not, it would be to his interest to
cut off as many acres as will enable
Lim to well plough and hoe the bal
ance in eight or ten days, instead of
double that time. This is our view
and we give it for what it is worth.
MV merely add that this policy will
enable every farmer to make as much
corn, wheat, oats and provender, as he
will need for his household and his
stock, and his smoke house will be
amply supplied with merit and his
dairy’with milk and butter. This is
the way to get rid of mortgages and
a dependence upon factors for sup
plies.

Chii KKN Pik.—Thechickens should
be parboiled, and all the meat taken
from the bones; put Into the dish al
ternately oysters and chicken; season
the liquor left from the chickens with
celery or parsley, and a bit of nice
butter rolled in flour. If made with
out paste, it must be filled with the
liquor; but if in a raised crust, the
liquor must be strained and added
cold as jelly, by the addition of gela
tine. or caif's foot boiled up with it.
Many persons think that corn is the
best food for poultry. So it is if you J
do not wish eggs.
The cost of importing well-bred
sheep from England, in lots of 10 head
or more, is estimated at about ,*15 per
head, •
It is said that “cattle-raising for
beef, butter, and cheese is the lop-
most round of the ladder tin* zenith
of agriculture.^
Fowls that must be fed in summer
should be fed regularly. If fed only
twice a day, feed lightly in the morn
ing and give a full feed at night. If
fed but once a day, feed at night.
The fence question is one of great
importance, as we have In the United
States 0,(MX),000 miles of fences, which
have cost nearly $ 1,900,000,000 and
have to be renewed every fifteen
years.
Several years since a gardener dis
covered that by planting squash
seeds in earth that had a layer of
coal ashes above and below it the
vines were not molested by cut
worms.
Vkal Salad.—Remove all the gris
tle and sinews from the cold meat,
chop it very fine and add equal quan
tity of lettuce; put on the salad dress
ing just before sending it to table.
The veal must first be boiled.
The farmer who has a good borne
or two to turn into money every yenr
is one of a class of men who are con
sidered thrifty and frugal. There is
more clear money in raising good
horses, if the raising is done judicious
ly, than in the production of any oth
er kind of livestock.—National Stock-
man and Farmer.
It Is common for farmers who have
a number of cows to dry them off af
ter eight, ten or at most twelve
months of the greatest flow of milk
has passed. This is good policy for
those thus situated, as a cow giving
only three to five or six quarts daily
is worth more to fatten than to keep
for what milk she will give. But for
a small family, where but little milk
or butter is required, a good farrow
cow may prove a desirable requisition.
A really good cow may be milked
two years, or even three or four,
with careful management, and give
nearly a constant mess during that
time." It is the drain on the cow from
the calf ehe is carrying that necessa
rily shortens the milking period,
however good the feeding.

S. Barrett,
Invites his friends to call and examine his new and complete
of Groceries. He has endeavored to open a 1 ' t0c ^
First-Class Grocery Store,
in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as he continues in business a
keep up a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to ’ u
just as LOW as the same goods cun he sold in this or anv'otl
market. He does pot propose to cut under his Brother Merchant
but it will be a “cold day in August” when he is run out bv '
Brother who proposes to undersell him. His advantages am «
better than any other man, BDT JUST AS GOOD, and he can JX
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 f r0 rr
the best houses, pays cash, gets the benefit of cash discount
therefore can and will ’ 11(1
Sell Goods as Low as Any One!
To mention the articles would be useless, suffice it to say he has
nearly all the goods usually kept iu 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 m
the interest of the oity that has so kindly received him. V

Tlie bfest veterinarians discourage
the feeding of partially decayed po
tatoes, turnips, cabbage leaves and
all similar substances to stock of any
kind. There is no economy in the
practice, for the nutritive properties
are destroyed by decay. Not only
that, but there is a liability of pois
oning the system or producing indi
gestion to such an extent as to result
in colic or diarrhoea, and in case of
cows with calf there is danger of pro
ducing abortion. It is far better to
pick up the decayed roots and vege
tables and burn or bury* them than
to suffer the cattle to eat such garb
age.
