FARMING IN GEORGIA.
A letter to the Cultivator, Athens, G-a.,
shows what skill, industry and perseverance
ean do even on third quality land, in Geor
gia.
At- the close of the war, being almost pros
trated with chronic disease of the chest,
with an invalid wife and a family to support,
and not a dollar in anything available, noth
ing in the shape of money except a few hun
dred in “ Confederate,’’ I was at a loss to
know how I would be able “to make both
ends meet.” Various schemes of making a
living presented themselves to my mind,
but my health was too much impaired to un
dertake any of them. Making a virtue of
necessity, J concluded to stay on my farm,
consisting of about 300 acres of third quali
ty land ; about forty acres of which had been
in cultivation, barely yielding its former
occupant a support. I hired a black man
regularly last year and paid him out of the
crop; hired my corn gathered and husked;
bought seed wheat at $2 50 per bushel;
hired it sowed and harvested; have had
considerably more land cleared up r ditched
and fenced; a large garden newly and sub
stantially enclosed, which is now tilled witn
cabbage, beets, onions, peas, beans, potatoes,
parsnips, carrots, okra and tomatoes. I
h ive not been able to do a week’s work in
eighteen months, except the lightest sort of
jobs—consequently had to hire my farm
work done, paying for it entirely out of tho
proceeds of the farm ; I have kept the stock,
most of which I had on hand, two horses,
nine head of cattle, fifteen sheep, fourteen
hogs, and eleven pigs. My “ out-hogs”
have been well fed on corn twice a day and
are'now good pork ; [ have pigs about sev
en months old, that I have kept up about
six months—have fed them twice a day on
c >rn and butter-milk; they are now fine
phrkers, and will, I think, make my next
year’s meat, besides nine hogs, eighteen
months old at killing time, that I expect to
fatten for market. I have sold enough ba
con to furnish my sugar and coffee. Besides
what E have paid out for work,l have sold twen
ty bushels of corn for cash, and have nowon
hand thirty bushels of corn, and enough old
bacon to supply my family until next summer.
From thirty hens, I have sold about fifty
dozen eggs since early in spring, and we
have had as many as we wanted f«*r use;
have sold enough poultry to buy my wife’s
dresses, and have now one hundred nice
spring and summer chickens; I have old
sweet, potatoes as nice as when fresh dug,
and the finest prospect for a crop of sweet
and Irish potatoes I ever had ; a fine crop
of sugar cane, (sorghum,) tobacco, etc,
growing.
I think 1 will have at least seventy-five
bushels of wheat and rye, judging from the
yield already threshed. This year I am
hiving cultivated, by freedmen, thirty acres
in corn, and above five acres iu oats, the
latter nearly all cut and shocked, and yield
ing about one hundred dozen. About one
lialf of the corn is now laid by in fine condi
tion, having been plowed and hoed five times
each ; about one-half of the corn is drilled,
with cow peas betweeu the hills of corn,
which, I think, will nearly fatten my hogs
I have enough leather on hand (home
tanned) to supply my family a year or two;
also the greater portion of my fall and spring
wool not yet made up, and enough home
made silk to supply my family for years; I
do myself all the milking, and from the
same cows that our servant girl formerly
milked a gallon per day, I now milk from
three to four gallons.
Very respectfully, F. S. S.
Madison Cos., Ga., July hth, 186(5.

Saving Flower Seeds. —lt is not too
late yet to save the seeds of many of our fine
annuals. The best way, however, is to
watch the ripening of the seeds generally—
take with you little paper bags or boxes,
carefully labelled with the name of the seeds
which they are to contain, and then select
from the choicest specimens one kind at a
time, rejecting those not sufficiently matured
as likely to mould and injure the rest.
In the matter of preserving of both flow
, er and vegetable seeds, there is much neg
lect, and the absence of flowers about many
homesteads is in a measure to be attributed
to this neglect.
The ladies ought in all cases to take
charge of the flowers—it is naturally their
province and should he their delight. It is
a good method to exchange seeds with neigh
bors and friends; for though the distance
may be short, yet a slight change of soil
frequently has much influence in preserving
the fine qualities of the flowers.
We think we can see, within the last few
years, a great increase in flowers around our
homesteads, and we rejoice at it, as we al
ways think more kindly of the in-dwellers.
Pity that this fascinating recreation—for
fascinating it ought to be to every properly
educated young woman —is not more univer
sally apDreciated and indulged in.
I
Quince Marmalade. —Wash and wipe
the quinces, and take out any dark spots
there may be on the skins. Cut them up
without paring, cores and all; cover them
with water in the preserving kettle, and
boil them until they are soft enough to be
rubbed through a coarse hair sieve. Then
weigh equal quantities of pulp and refined
sugar and boil the mixture an hour, stirring
it steadily.
Made with nice brown sugar it is good,
though not quite as handsome. When brown
sugar is used it should be stirred an hour
and a half. •
Put it into moulds or deep plates, and
when it is cold put a paper over it, pasted
at the edges and brushed with the white of
egg. Marmalade can be kept for almost
any length of time.
Baked Quince. —After coring without
paring, boil until tender enough for a straw
to penetrate them. Fill the core with su
gar, put in a pan with some of the water in
which they were boiled, and bake in the
oven until they are light brown. Eat with
cream, and you’ll be ready to declare that no
other fruit is so delicious.
How to Keep Out the Moths.— A
good old lady gave the best recipe to her
niece, whom she found one day examining
her wardrobe. It had been copied from an
old fashioned book, and was this : “ Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves break through and steal; but
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor
steal.” The application of this ancient re
ceipt is very simple; Look over the ward
robe, and bring out all that can be spared—
blankets and shawls, coats and cloaks—and
send them to the poor in time; let the wid
ows or the destitute have them before the
moths have begun their inroads. “He
that hath two coats let him impart to him
that hath none.” This will do more to keep
out moths than all the cedar closets or snuff
and camphor, in the world; and will be
likely, if done in a Christian, generous spir
it, to secure the blessing of Him that iuak
eth rich, and doubly sweeten what is left.
Cure for Hog Cholera. —A friend in
Quincy, 111., sends us the following recipe,
which he obtained from a certain gentleman
who has tried it, and says it is a certain cure
for hog cholera:
6 oz. May apple root, pulverized; 6 oz.
polk root, pulverized; C oz. saltpetre, pul
verized ; 1 lb. sal soda, pulverized; 2 lbs.
unslacked lime.
Pour two gallons boiling water over the
whole. Wheo cold, add eight ounces of
tincture of assafootida.
Dose —Two ounces of the mixture to one
quart of swill for each hog.— tit. Louis

Sister Elizabeth Camp, was born in
Jackson co., Ga., June 27th, 1800; mar
ried to Bro. B. S. Camp, and joined the
church in 1820, and died Oct. 7th, 1866.
On the night of the marriage she and her
husband resolved to erect the family altar,
to which she proved faithful until death..
On sth of October, she received a stroke of
paralysis. She could talk but little and
that but a short time. She soon went i«to
a state of unconsciousness and remained so
until she breathed her last. Though the
family were not permitted to receive her
dying charge, yet they were not as those
who have no hope. I have been the pastor
of sister C. for two years, and have often
met her, both at her own home and the
house of God. She was always glad to con
verse about religion. I think I never saw
her when she did not eujoy peace with God.
She has gone to heaven to meet with a part
of her family, w’hich are already there. She
leaves her husband and fiv*e children to
mourn their loss. May they all so live as
to meet their dear mother in heaven.
Pastor.

Rev. Eli Williams, died in Coosa co.,
Ala., July 4th, 1866.
He was born in Kershaw Dist., S. C.,
May Ist, 1797, professed religion and joined
the M. E. Church, South, at eighteen years
of age, was licensed to preach at 33 years of
age. He was a man of deep piety and
adorned the profession he made “ by a well
ordered walk and godly conversation.” He
was useful as a preacher in the local ranks,
(was never itinerant). He was a good citi
zen, a devoted husband and an affectionate
father. Father Williams was a pillar in the
Church of God, where he lived. He was
much troubled in his last days about the
condition of the church, and often sighed
for “ the old days of Methodism.” He was
greatly afflicted for many years before his
death. He was confined to his room for
five weeks before his death and suffered im»
mensely, (his disease being gravel). But in
all his afflictions he was never heard to com
plain at his suffering, but his prayer was that
grace might sustain him in the affliction.
A short time before his death, he called his
family around him and admonished them to
meet him in Heaven. He has left a devot
ed family and many friends to mourn his
loss ; but their loss is his infinite gain. Let
me die* the death of the righteous.

Mary Elizabeth Williams, daughter
of Morris and Susan Cousins, died July Bth,
1866, in the seventeenth year of her age.
She was married to E. F. Williams Decem
ber 28th, 1865. She professed religion and
joined the M. E. Church, South, in 1864.
She was a dutiful daughter and an affec->
tionate wife. She was a woman of a wafm
heart and a sweet spirit, and much beloved
by her husband and family, and a large cir
cle of friends. She was sustained by grace
in her last affliction, though it was of long
continuance. In her last hours she spoke
of departed loved ones as being, around her
and inviting her away to the home of the
blessed. She was often heard to repeat the
words, “ Sweet is the day of sacred rest; no
mortal care shall seize my breast.” In her
last moments, she could say,
“ Jesus ihe vision of thy face,
Hath overpowering charms,
Scarce shall I feel death’s cold embrace.
If Christ be in my arms.”

SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
Sister Martha J. Sharpe died at the
residence of her son, Robt. D. Sharpe, Esq.,
near Sylvania, Ga., Sept. 2nd, 1866, aged
sixty-five years.
Sister S. had been a consistent] member of
the M. E. Church about 30 years; 15 years
of which she resided in Savannah. She
was the subject of sore affliction during the
last six or eight years, and was mostly con
fined to her room during the last year of her
life. Never has the writer witnessed a
brighter example of patience and Christian
fortitude than was displayed in her case.
Though her disease was of such a character,
for months before her death, as to deprive
her almost entirely of her relish for food,
yet she had food which the world knows not
of, and her last words were “Jesus is the
only source of true happiness.” During her
last illness, she was often visited by the
ministers of our church, myself among oth
ers, and we found her ever ready to testify
to the love of Jesu.s. Thus, full of faith
and patient resignation to the will of God,
she passed away leaving a large circle of
relatives and friends to mouru, hut not as
those who have no hope.

Hezekiaii W. Ftrobhart, about 43
years of age, died at Binnaker’s Camp
Ground, Barnwell Dist, S. C., June 13th,
1865.
He had been a member of the M. E
Church about 16 years, lie lived for sev
eral years on the Blackswamp ct., S- C.
Conference, and filled the various offices of
class leader, steward, and Sabbath school
superintendent, with credit to himself
and the church. He enjoyed the power
and practiced the virtues of our holy reli
gion to an eminent degree. He suffered in
tensely, but bore it only as a Christian can
endure, while ripening up for his reward in
glory, retaining his consciousness and faith to
the last. He has left a widow, two children,
an aged and sainted sister, with numerous
relatives and friends to mourn his death
He was a good man, husband, father and
neighbor. We mourn our loss, kiss the rod,
and wait and hope to meet again where the
wicked cease to trouble and the weary are at
rest. • J. Robt. Coburn.
Mrs. Frances M. Steagall, wife of
Benson Steagall, and daughter of C. F. and
•Mary A. Maddux, died in Rusk co, Texas,
Sept. 15, 1866, in the 34th or 35th year of
her age.
She was horn in Warren co., Ga , and
joined the M. E. Church about her 15th
year—was a firm member and a consistent
Christian. In her was the assemblage of
the graces of the Christian religion. She
was a devoted daughter, wife and mother;
she had many friends to minister to her in
her last sickness; but they could not save
her. Death in her had a shining mark at
which to thrust his fatal dart. Her disease
was congestion of the brain, so that for sev
eral of her last days she lay in a stupor, and
could give no expression of her prospects,
it was a matter of grief to her affectionate
father that she could not talk to him. Du
ring a former attack of illness when her re
covery was despaired of, she, with great
composure, gave directions about her house
hold affairs, children, etc., and said she was
ready. Her father says they sorrow not as
those who have no hope and feel that she
has gone to heaven. P. N. Maddux.

beeu deprived of the companionship of a
brother whose uniform courtesy, kindness
and moral worth won the confidence and re
spect of all, and our lodge the services of

ished in the hearts of his devoted friends,
long after his face c ases to be familiar and
his voice hushed in the silence of the
tomb.
