The Baltimore Trade Journal remarks:
"The Southern World, a journal of
industry for the farm, home and work
shop, published at Atlanta, Ga., is one
of the most welcome of our exchanges.
Besides devoting considerable space to
the industries of the State, it pays close
attention to agricultural matters, to the
care of poultry, to hygiene and the
household generally. Literature is not
neglected either, and the paper as a
whole, is h credit to Southern journal
ism.”

Georgia as a Truck Farmer.
It 1b not exactly the time of year to
comment on the truck farming industry,
but the report of Dr. Powell, Superin
tendent of the Georgia Lunatic Asylum,
contains a document that reminds the
public that the State of Georgia itself is
quite a successful truck farmer through
its representatives at Milledgeville.
The document alluded to is the report of
the gardener, Samuel A. Cook, Esq.
The garden of the asylum consists of
a little over 75 acres, and the statement
of receipts and expenditures show that,
unlike most public enterprises of the
kind, it not only pays its own way, but
considerably over 100 per cent, profit
besides. The expenses of the garden
during the year were $2,043, of which
only $867.92 is chargecf to the labor ac
count, while $260 is charged to the rent
of five mules, two carts, and $602 for
fertilizers, including $200 worth of sta
ble manure made on the place. The
balance of the expense account consists
of bills for seed—about $200—and im
plements. The account does not include
the salary of the gardener, hence it may
be taken as a fair sample of a track farm
operated by the owner.
The products of the farm, all con
sumed in the asylum, aggregate, at a
low valuation, $4,571.50, and the prices
placed on many items appear to be much
lower than the asylum authorities wonld
have had to pay for them, had they been
purchased from outside parties. Among
the principal items are 484 bushels Irish
potatoes at $1, 289 bushels radishes at
50 cents, 77 bushels English peas at $2,
204 bushels tomatoes at $1, 900 bushels
turnips at 50 cents, 2,800 head of cab
bage at 8 cents, 105 bushels butter beans
at $1, and 600 bushels sweet potatoes at
50 cents.
To more fully appreciate the value of
these figures as illustrating the possi
bilities of properly conducted track
farming in Georgia, it must be token
into consideration that the soil of the
gardens of the asyltun is not only thin
and thirsty, bat also rocky, so u to ren
der high cnltivation very difficult, and'
that the present season has not been a
favorable one for farming operations of
any kind.

The December Popular Science Month
ly opens with an illustrated account, by
W. F. Allen, of “ Reformation in Time'
Keeping,” which was accomplished ini
the United States and Canada a year
ago. A sensible and practical paper on
« School Culture of the Observing Fac
ulties,” is contributed by J. C. Glashaw.
Dr. T. D. Crothers describes, under "Al
coholic Trance,” a state of unconscious
ness of a person’s own acts which some
times follows the excessive use of
liquors; and there is a discussion of
" The Problem of Universal Suffrage,”
by Alfred Fouillee, who touches upon
the rights of majorities and ef minori
ties, plural snffrage^nd political edu
cation. Anyone wiphimagines that a
scientific magazine is necessarily dry>
would do well to read Grant Allen’Si
" Queer Flowers,” " Oddities of Animall
Character,” and "Cannibalism as ai
Custom,” by A. St. Johnston. The ad
dress of E. B. Tylor before the Britishi
Association, on "American Aspects of
Anthropology,” is given in full, and Dr..
Tylor is also the subject of the usuali
portrait and biographical sketch. Those
who have read any of Mattieu Williams'
articles will be glad to get his chapter
on tea and coffee. Bishop Temple, in
considering "Religion and the Doctrine
of Evolution,” takes the ground that
evolution concerns only the method of
nature, and does not conflict with an
an original creation or the existence of
a Creator. "The Perils of Rapid Civ
ilization ” are illustrated by C. F. With-
ington, M. D., in the case of the Ameri
can Indians, Maories, Hawaiians, and!
other peoples. "Starvation: its Morall
and Physical Effects,” is considered by-
N. E. Davies. "The Oil Supply of the:
World” is concluded, and there is ai
short account by Jules Jamin of the;
means employed for the " Liquefaction:
of the Elementary GaseB.” In the edi
tor’s table we find “ Science in School
Management,” "The Abuse of Political
Power,” and "A Jewish Explanation of
Jewish Success;” and the " Correspond
ence,” "Miscellany,” and other depart
ments are well filled. A subscription to
this magazine is sure to bring a profita
ble return in information, guidance, and
entertainment. New York: D. Apple-
ton & Company. Fifty cents a number,

An interesting question is: What is
the money value of the tobacco and
cigars ?
The venerable editor of the Maditonian*
says: "The Southrrn World, publish
ed in Atlanta, and edited by that trio of
noble spirits, Whidby, Jones and Red
ding,is one of onr most valued exchanges.
Whidby, God bless our dear old friend,
who is just as pure and good as he is
ugly, Col. Jones, who has a national
reputation as a writer, and the sedate
and practicable Redding, vie with each
other in making the World just such a
journal as Georgians should admire.
The World should be found in every
family circle in the State. That family
that receives and reads it regularly will
not only be better informed, bat feel
happier and more refined.”
