OUR SOURCES OF WEALTH-HoW
SHALL THEY BE DEVELOPED2
by W. +. HARRISON.

- We
Tho States of Georgia and Alabama
are rich in mineral reBources-thc vast
majority which rcman untouched, and
indeed, unknown to the people of these
States. A large portion of their terri
tory lies III the region of the mctamor-
phic, and m.talliferous rocks, II region
which has never been accurately sur
'eyed by any one competent to form u
oncluslon, or to reason from geological
alta. A few biologists, it is true, have
Lecn employed, on small salaries, who
ave made hasty trips, scanned the
'IrTace of large districts, classified them
according to geological formulas, pub
lishcd thcirreports, and there the matter
rests.
1t is of little service to the farmer to
know that he is blowing land which
belongs to the Upper or Lower Siluriau

been, not n Gcoligist, proceeding from
principles already fixed to assign large
districts to their proper places but n
competent MineraIogist, one who, tax
ing the lights which Geology furnishes,
proceeds by actual experiment to test
and to deUciopc the resources of the
country. Thousands of dollars have
been wastedin searching for gold, where
some enthusiastic wiseacre has found
PARTICLES Of beautiful golden micn-and
hundreds of thousands wasted by made
quato machinery when the gold actually
existed in plenty.
The writer of tins article has for many
years past given this subject special
attention, at such periods as his leisure
would admit, and he proposesto furnish
in this paper, n few of the results of his
observation. Embarrassed by no theories
to be upheld, he has carefully labored

LIVER COMPLAINT, LIVER DhaAas,
I, T., BILIoUsNEss. Bilious complaints,
by some termed liver disease, are very
common in this country. The ordinary
indications, such as yellowness of the
skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the
right side under the inferior ribs, with
sometimes difficulty of respiration and
troublesome cough, are familiar to o
host of sufferers; but the liver, some
times, is in a very unsatisfactory state
without the presence of such symptom.
When we reflect hat the liver is the
largest gland Of the body, that it &C.
cretes the bile which lubricates the
bowels and keeps them in order, is the
great blood purifier or cleansing ma
chine of II systems, it may truly be
called the %Housekeeper of our health.
Sudden transitions of climatic tempera-
ture, or impure air, or water and dis
turbing elements which arrest the func-
tons of the liver, and render it torpid,
producing diarrhea, dysentery, bilious
remittents, intermittent fevers, and q
general prostration, and unhealthy state
Of the whole organization.
1t is not surprising that a medicine
which can restore the healthy ope-
rations of the liver, should command
general attention. Such q medicine is

The True Way to Water Trees.

Ii trees standing in grass land arc
watered, the surface round about the
body for three or for feet in each direc-
ton should be covered with mulch of
some sort, to retard evaporation. 1t
will be labor lost to water trees on the
lawn without exercising this precaution
as the water will disappear before u
hundreth part of it has reached the
roots. Straw, hay, lawn-grass, weeds,
shavings or tan bark, will make an ex-
cellent mulch. Spread the mulch three
or four inches deep, pour three or four
p~ailfuls OF water round each tree, and
water will permeate the entire soil,
keep it damp, and supply the moisture
which the tree must have, or die. If
the soil is in a tillable condition, draw
the earth away from the tree to the
.epth of one or two inches !; pour in
two or three p%ailfuls of water and re-
turn the mellow earth, which will keep
the surface from breaking. Yet mulch
is far preferable to the latter mode.
When the soil appears nearly dry to
the touch, the roots cannot possibly de-
rive the needed supply of water to keep
the Leaves and branches from injury
during the rapid evaporation which is
going on night and day. When the at
mosphere is as dry and hot as the air in
II huge lumber-kiln, it will have the
moisture in every tree and plant and
the moisture of our bodies, even "if it is
the hot air. has to take if(the moistnre)
out of the hide" Heuce, we must
drink, and the roots of the trees and
plants must be supplied with water Or
they wither and die.
A great many persons scatterth Inc grass
from the lawns and the weeds from
their gardens in the highway, which is
bad horticulture in many respects. If
they would spread such grass and weeds
around their growing flowers or around
any garden vegetables, the much
would save the labor of carrying many
hogsheads OF water to supply the plants
with necessary moisture, and the cover
ing would keep the surface mellow,
keep the weeds down and n V n good
deal of manual labor; and the crop
would be heayier.-Our Home Monthly. |

The Improving Agriculture of tho
South.

Agriculture is making such ripid
advances in this State, that two> years
ago there was scarcely an agricultural
society in the State. Now there arr
some forty organized, and others in pro-
gross of formation. In Georgia, the
empire State Of the South, there a
more farmers who have studied the
chemistry of manures, and who under
stand the economical application of ii
to the soil, than there is in any one OF
the old free States at this time. The
great revolution from slave to free labor
so far from disceuraging the Southern
farmer, has only shaken him up from
his lcthargy and compelled him to be
energetic, se%lf-reliant, and willing to
learn everything that a aid his farm
ing under the new regime. -7eras Far

Clean Water for Fowls.

Fowls will dirty their water if al
allowed free access to it, and yet it is
very important that it is kept clean. To
effect this, put the water-trough inside
of some other box, 80 that the fowls
can only reach it with their heads. A
box with lath sides and movable top,
but so arranged that the fowls can not
displace it, is an excellent plan, as into
this a smaller ynter trough may be
placed, removed at pleasure, and effectu.
ally protected. The same kind of ar
rangement will answer well as q feeding.
trough for grown fowls.

Raising Chickens.

-
1 desire to write what | know OF rais-
ing turkeys and chickens, The recipes
given for curing chickens OF the g"pes'
such rs whites of eggs, corn meal WIN
pepper, wheat soaked in ~turpentlne'
and a number of others, are OF little II
any value. The gapcs in chickens are
caused by small worms getting into the
windpipe. I have raised thousands upon
thousands of chickens, bought and sold
chickens, and believe that gapes is a
contagious disease, for my chickens
never had them until / brought strange
chickens. 1 have tried many cures, and
there are none that amount to anything
except the horse.hair. By inserting the
horse-hair in the chickens windpipe
you draw the small red worm ont, and
this at once relieves the chicken, and
the gapes are cured,
In regard to raising turkeys, the Des'
plan is to feed them on milk made into
a cheese with wheat and wheGt screen
ings. In time of rain keep them in the
dry, for when they get wet they get
draggled and die. Corn meal l. have
tried, and upon Il clear examination
find that it does not agree with them,
and in some instances kills them. Old
turkeys l think do best ont in the cold
on trees, rather than in sheltered
places. Let every farmer be cautious
of what he feeds Young turkeys until
they are ten weeks old. | know that
the foregoing is correct, for | have tried
many plans, and experience is always
the best guide. -Readiag Gaactte.

The inhospitable winds and chilly fogs Of spring
are unweicome visitors to The feeble and ailing
and are by no means congenial to the healthy.
Itthere is any germ Of disease lurking In the sys-
TEN, they are sure to develop it, unless proper pre-
cautions are taken to prevent such II misfortune.
Bilious complaints, dyspepsia, nervous debility,
rhematism, irregularities of the bowels, and disor.
deIs which affect the kidneys, are all aggravated
by the peculiar condition of the atmosphere at this
season, lnvalids who are subject to any Of these
disorders, or have u predispositlon thereto, should
therefore forearm themselves against danger by
strengthening tho digestive organs, the nervous
system and the muscular fibre with daily doses Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. There is no period
oftle year which n stimulating tonic and reguIat.
ing medicine is more urgently required than In the
spring and there Is no preparation of that class in
which so many valuable restorative and preyenta.
tive properties are combined in such a perfectly
safe and harmless form as In Hostetter's Bi,ters.
1t may be stated positively, as uncontradictable
fact, that u course Of this agreeable vegetable
specific, commenced now and continued through
the spring months, Will effectually shield the In.

which in time must become very scarce; especially
as the Government will probably during the year

BONDS the total amount of which is only Sl5000O00,
are secured upon q property worth S350OO,OO0 to

the Central Pacific Bonds. They are issued in de-
nominations of $780, $780, and 81 900 coupon regis
tered and at Gheir present market price, oi and ac-
crued interest, are very desirable.
The CENTRAL PACIFIC SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS
are too well known to require description or COM
mendation. Their total amount is S25, 1856 0O0 they
have for long time ranged in market price near or

sOlidated with the CENTRAL PACIFIC, and the pay
