Why Not.
Why should not the fanner and
his family be as highly cultured as
those engaged in any other avo
cation ?
Why should not the farmers as
a class exert as much influence
moral, social and political as law
yers, doctors or merchants?
Why should not the farmers of
Georgia, who constitute three
fourths of the people of the State
own the land, pay the burden of
the taxes, feed and clothe them
selves and the rest of the com
munity, and supply the basis,, of
all other industries, be represent
ed in the State Government ?
Why are not demagogues spurn
ed, instead of being followed by
the farmers?
These are importont questions,
which fanners themselves should
carefully consider, seek their
causes'} and as far as possible re
move them.
We venture a suggestion as to
the principal causes of these un
natural facts, as well as the
means of remedying them, and
will be glad to have our readers
give their views on (lie subject.
The necessary isolation of a
barge number of farmers in a
sparsely settled Stale like ours,
prevents to a huge extent inter
course with their follow men, and
unfortunately very few avail
t lionised ves of the only remaining
recourse, viz: books and papers.
The great obstacle to the influ
ence, sueees and usefulness of
farmers as a class, is found in the
want of that information, and re
sulting expansion and liberality
of thought which can only be ac
quired by contact with the world
and a free use of good literature,
especially that, relating directly
to their own business.
II every farmer in Georgia would
read regularly one first, class agri
cultural paper, weekly or month
ly, for the next five years, the
aggregate increase in production
resulting from improved intelli
gence would pay the taxes of the
■State, and taxable property of the
State would be very materially !
increased by the same cause. j
We invite Ihc attention of our!
raaders to these thoughts, In |

Farm Life.
It is a common complaint that
J the farm and farm life arc not
| appreciated by our people. \Y<>
long for the more elegant pm suit a
!or tlie wnys and fashions of the
town. Rut the fanner lias Ihe
most sane and natural occupation,
and ought to find life sweeter, if
less highly seasoned, than any
! other, lie alone, strictly speak
ing, lots a home. How cau a tqaii
lake root tpiiDlpiye without land?
He u tiles fits history upon his
j Hold. l|o\v many ties,how many
! resouruos ho baa-—his friendship
j with his cattle, his team, his dog, j
his trees, the satisfaction in his J
growing crops, in his improved
! fields; his intimacy with nature, j
bird and bead, and wit the •

ico oja'iqlion with the cloud, the

ous social distempers which llioj
city and artificial life breed, out!
of a man like farming, like direct !
and loving contact with tl\e soil. !
It dravys uqt the poison. It hum !
i Ides Idui, teaches him patience j
! and iwerenee, and restores the I
proper tone to his system. Cling
to the farm, make much of it, put
yourself into it, bestow vour heart
and your brain upon it, so that it
shall savor of you and radiate
! your virtue after your day's work
is done. ,/n/ni /bo m

The best farmer cannot know
every article of practice that is
followed in every part of the
country; and as most practices
are discovered by what is called
chance or accident, it is dear the
discovery cannot be generally
known until it is carried abroad.
A farmer who travels appreci
ates the information which he
receives in conversation with
other farmers, and by observa
tion of field labor.
Such a farmer possesses advan
tages over him who always re
mains at home, that is within
the circle of his markets.
Now, the object of an agrieul
tural book or paper, at

Harness Galls.
i it is a cruel thing to work a
horse that lias a neck worn raw
by a badly titling collar. In put
| ting horses that have been com
j paritively idle during winter to
the hard work of the plow and the
harrow, painful and unsightly
sores are often caused which, tin
less cared for at once, prove of
longstanding, permanently dis
figuring Ihe animal. When tin*
abrasion first appears, give the
horse a day or two of rest. It is
better to do this even if import
ant work is somewhat delayed.
Chloride of zinc diluted with til
t v parts of watet and applied with
a soft sponge, is a good astringent
serving to harden and toughen
the skin. Hut after all, the best
way to prevent galling is to have
the collar, and every part of the
harness touching the horse, a
perfect lit. Keep it well oiled
and pliable. Then inure the ani
mal to hard work gradually and

Plowing in Crops as Manure.
A large number of farmers are
unable to understand how it is
possible to belter the condition
of lands by plowing in clover, rye
buckwheat, ect., in a green eon
dilion. Tim ditlhmltyts in compre
hending methods bv which crops
that are supposed to draw their
substance from the .soil in which
they grow can return anything
more to the soil than they took
away in their growth. This point
is cleared up when it is known
all plants draw nourishment from
the atiuosnlim'e at well as from
the ixql, and this is one source of
gain. While the leaves are ac
cumulating stores of fertility
from the air, the roots are busy
searching for it in the soil, ml
thus the two distinct parts of
plants work together, It i-. prob
able that crops absorb in some
way, nitrogen from the atoms
phere ; at least, it has never been
satilYictorily proved that they do
not, and hence from that source
one of the most valuable of Ihe
various forms of plant food may
be derived. If this point is an
doubt, it is certain that the leaves
gather from the atmosphere the
elements of organic matter, and
organise them so as to form the
great body of the plant;and when
we turn under the clover it leaves
its organic matter in the soil, and
this is, in an important sense,
manure.
But the excellent effect of plow
ing under clover or other green
crops are not dqe alone io ele
menta of fertility obtained from
air. The great,deep-penetrating
roots go to a point lower than
most of the cereals, and hence
they draw supplies of mineral
food from sources inacce .dole to
other valuable plants; and funi
ther. it is to be observed that
these roots of coarse texture dis
integrate and loosen the soil, so
that air is let in, and in some
! sense the work of the plow is
performed by them. When these
roots decay, they form a consid
erable portion of organic or veg
etable matter, which, cotnbinejjfc
with the mineral, gives a go*
compost for better plants to t,b

Good Layers.
A prominent writer on poultry
matters says: “For laying hens,
select large, stnyig, healthy birds
of the Leghorn varieties, with
large, square bodies, without re
gard to tine points, such as pure
white Hat earlobes, or very yel
low legs, or combs with just five
points, or plumage that is per
1 fectly white in the white variety,
or without a white speck in the
brown. It is not that these points
are any detriment to the health
or Ihe vigor of the birds, bat a
constitution has been too often
sacrificed to them, which often
results in a strain of enfeebled
though handsome fowls. The*
Leghorns are acclimated Ameri
can breeds, which originated from
birds brought from Ihe Mediter
r.iuean, and they have been im
proved in this country by circum
•dunces that have given them u
a preeminent position for the
farmer, when birds such as are
above recommended are selected.
Other breeds, or crosses frona
them .are much better than the/
Leghorns, or any of the smaller
breeds. Chickens that are the
result of a Dorking cock and Utah
muhen are large arid mature
much earlier than the other.
Moreover they are hardy, fleshy*
tender and fine llavored. Hou
dans in place of Dorkins are also
good to cross on Brahmas, or to
breed with the first-mentioned
cross, as they keep up size and
quality.
“Rlyrnoiith Rocks re also a
good table fowl, and ate good to
cross with the above.”— ffovlnn.
