This pawder never variee. A marvel of
purity, strnagth and wholesomeneas. More
economical than the ordinary kinds, and
cannot be sold In competition with the
multitude of low tests, short weight, alum
or phosphate powders. Hold only In cans.

Acri
cultural uEpartment,
Soapsuds are a valuable fertil
izer for all forms of vegetation,
especially serviceable for small
fruits, ami in the fruit garden
proper will never be -wasted. We
have found it especially good for
grape vines.
A writer advises against tho
planting of fruit trees, especially
peaches, near together, saying
from twenty to twentv-two feet is
not too far apart. He claims the
winter planting makes better
shaped trees, with better access?
of air and sunshine, while the
tree has greater area from which
to draw root supplies.
It used to be thought that the
guinea hen would lay more eggs
in a year than the ordinary do
mestic fowls. This is not true
now, as compared with some of
the best laving breeds, thus show
ing the improvements made in
poultry as regards egg produc
tion, as it is probable that the
guinea fowls are as good layers
as they ever were. We have,
however, improved the producing
powers of our fowls mainly by
importing breeds, rather than
breeding up bis characteristic in
what we had. Fossiblv if more
care were taken to select eggs
from the most productive guinea
to breed from, their laying capac
ities would be improved. The
fact that as commonly bred, with
no care, they are good layers, in
dicates that they are good stock
to experiment with in this direc
tion. It is quite common where
hawks abound to keep a few
guinea bens as a protection to
other fowls. Their loud, discord
ant noise frightens away feather
ed enemies as effectually as could
lie done by an armed guard.

tting the aftermath grow in
ill is undoubtedly a help to
roots, 1 mt excepting for timo-1
ts presence on the surface as a
protection to the roots is scarce-!
ly needed. Timothy grass has at
bulb near the surface of the
ground, and this; is saved from re
peated freezing and thawing by a \
slight covering. But June grass'
is not at all injured by exposure !
to the coldest weather. Except- j
ing as the substance of the grass!
maybe dissolved by rains and'
washed down into the soil it does '
no good to have it even in win- j
ter. As spring approaches the
dried grass becomes a postive in- 1
eumbrance. It obstructs the rays
of the sun and makes tire soil
cooler than it should lie. There
was good reason, therefore, for
the old practice of the Indians in
burning over the dead grass in
the fall or spring, that the fresh
herbage might get an earlier and
more vigorous start when growing
weather came.—[American Culti
vator.
Trailing Tomato**.
The Agricultural College of
Michigan made experiments last
vear with tomatoes. Tho meth
ods in training will interest our
readers: Three methods of train
ing were employed this year, and j
another method last year. All ,
tin' experimental tomatoes were
tied to one, two or three stakes ,
about four feet high. This mcih- j Tlmt you will find on this market,
od has many disadvantages. It
requires much labor to tie the
plants, a lftbor which must bo re
peated at short intervals through
out the growing season. The to
matoes do not ripen evenly and
early and it requires extraordina
ry time and labor to pick them
from the dense mass of stems
and foliage. Although the outlay
for the stakes is small, this meth
od of training is the most expen
sive of tho four. Last year wo
laid old boards lengthwise the
rows and close to the plants, sup
porting them upon scantling or
blocks laid upon the ground, and
placed upon the boards.
This method kept the tomatoes
clean, lmt it appeared to increase
the rot. It certainly caused the
lower ripe tomatoes to rot pre
maturely. In our market patch
this year we adopt two sorts of
racks. The first was a separate
rack for each plant. A stake Was
driven an either side of the plant,
about fifteen inches from it, and
leaning so as to make an an
gle of about twenty degrees with
the perpendicular. Upon these
stakes three cross-slats were nail
ed, in the manner of a ladder.
The plant was allowed to lop up
on the racks. It was found nec
essary to tie it, however, and even
then branches slipped off or broke
themselves over the slats. The
second of these racks was contin
uous throughout the row.
About every six or eight feet a
stout stake was driven on either
side of the row and fifteen inches
from the plant, the stakes when
firmly driven standing some over a
foot high. A strip of old boards
was nailed near the tops of the
posts along either side of the row.
Then edgings were tacked across
from one side to the other, four
about each plant and a foot
apart. The plant now found it
self growing up between the hori
zontal edgings, and as it began to
lop the rack held it above the
ground. Upon this simple rack
the tomatoes needed no tying or
training and they spread them
selves freely to the sunlight. The
circulation of the air under the
racks was so free that there was
no danger from rot. This is de
cidedly the best rack which we
have tried. We noticed, also,
that the fruit ripened more uni
formly here than on the plants
which were tied to stakes. IVe
shall try other methods of train
ing next year. It appears advis
able to try but a few sorts each
year in order that they can be
tested upon a largor scale.
The proportion of our live
stock and our live stock products
which go abroad in such a form
as to be available for animal food
is not large, and yet the part that
goes ii'.to English »markets forms
a very considerable proportion of
the volume which England con
sumes. That country produces
about three fourths of all the
meats eaten by its people. Of the
remaining fourth, about two-thirds
or If! percent, of the whole, comes
from the United States, tho other
‘J per cent being divided between
Europe and South America, with
the former slightly in the lead.
Tlmt is to say, we furnish one-
sixth of the animal product con
sumed in the United Kingdom,
i and over one-fifth as much as is
j grown by the English themselves.
i When it is considered, in addition
! to this, that American grain makes
i no small proportion of British
bread, the importance of our po
sition as purveyors of food for
tho mother country is still magni
fied.—[National Stockman and

I. Barrett,
Invites his friends to call and examine his now ami complete stock
of Groceries. Ho has endeavored to open a
First-Class Grocery Store,
in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as he continues in business, to
keep un a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to sell
just as LOW as tho same goods can be sold in this or any other
market. He does not propose to cut under his Brother Merchants,
but it will be a “cold day in August” when ho 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 lie Sells,
and “Don’t you fdrget it.” He does not sell at COST, he buys from
the best houses, pays cash, gets tho benefit of casli discount, and
therefore can and will
Sell Goods as Low as Any One!
To mention tho articles would be useless, suffice it to say, ho has
nearly all the goods usually kept in a First-Class Grocery Storo in
cities of any size. He will endeavor, by STltlCT HONESTY, and
polite attention, to merit a full share of the public patronage, and
if successful in business, will promiso to do all ho can to build up
the interest of the city that has so kindly received him.
