MAD DOGS.

The Editor Of the American Farmer
states. that the practice Of worming dogs
renders them iuuoxious to the poison Of
rabid animals. He says he knew n worm
ed dog 10 be bitten thirteen times by others,
laboring under hydrophobia, without Ia
king the infection. We never heard be-
fore that worming would do more than
preven, tho generation OF disease in the nat
ural way. and were inclined IN consider
even lha, popular superstition. But
here we have the most respectable tes'i.
mony to the contrary. Surely if this fact
were generally known, or even generally
believed. no dog would be free from this
operation, which we understand 10 be n
simple une. II there is any preventive for
this horrible disease, which almost mars
the value OF The noble animal who is the
subiec, of il. it is well worth The while OF
medical men to test it. The friend Of hu-
maniry would rejoice ntihe establishment Of
Il principle, that would free wankind from
the fear Of this revolving malady.-South.

GEORGIA coTTUS-sQUARE BALES.
lf our Planters could be aware Of the in
ccssanl demand which is made for square
bales of Cotton in preference 10 the round,
it appears To US hath would determine
at once 10 put up presses aud send square
packages 10 market henceforth.--Nol only
are square bales desirable, bui for coed
slowracc on board ship il is desirable TO
have them as nenrly of the same size rs
possible. The following are the dimen-
s;ons of those which please us most:
Length, feet,
Depth, = fect 9 inches,
Width or thickness, foo, S inches,
A Abale Of this size if we'll pressed and
bound with some six bands Of first quality
bale rope, will weigh from 375 TO 400 lbs.
aud is handy. handsome and portable
package. On such bales our planters are
already aware, doubtless. that the Rail
Road charges less freight Than on round
ones. To New York the freight is 25
cents per bale less. and by afHighiing ship
TO Liverpool il is l-s Of pe&iy less than
on round bales, all Of which might be saved
TO the planter.
In The present dishones, age, The round
bales are no protection against pilfcring,
aud while lying on The docks in New
York, the bag may be ripped open and
some 20 or % lbs. be nbslracted without
being missed until the bale is re- weighed,
Instances Of this kind have lately come to
our knowledge. The round bales, loo. go
to market in much worse order and lose
more in weight, so that buyers generally
prefer to give g to 4 Of a cent more for
cotton in square bales. All these reasons
aud some others exist why buyer prefers
square bales. We hope our planters will
think of these things, Some of them we
have conversed with, who have expressed
their determination to discontince packing
their Cotton in round baies.

10 WORKING MEN.

The following, from the pen Of Amasa
Walker, Esq. Of Boston, should be read
and reflected upon BY every working man
in our .couairy.
When the banks are in full tide Of oper-
aticn, and create as much circulation us
they please, the laborer is cheated out Of a;
leas, one days work in every week. This
is q heavy tax, but pay j, he must, an6
hence The strong remark of Mr.. Webster,
made in Congress in 1882, is fully Sustain
ed by the facts in the case. He said. "Of
all the coutrivances for cheating the labor
ing classes Of mankind, none have been
u,Ore efiec,unl than that which deludes
them with paper money. This is The most
egec,ual OF inventions 10 ler,ilize The rich
mans field by the sweat OF The poor mans
brow"
The position is clear beyond all cavil,
and il ough, to be fully understood and ap-
precia.ed by all those who work for their
Siving. They must learn TO distinguish be-
tween nominal and real wages. When
