A Great Farmer in Georgia

Col. Lee Jordan owns and oultivates
20, 900 acres, the original cost of which
was $3.50, 900. He has 500 laborers,
but is gradually adopting the tenant
system. He raises twice as much corn
as he needs. Six overseers superintend
the plantations, and raise from l, 400
to 2, 900 bales of cotton. No fertilizers
are used, as Col. Jordan believes them
to be productive of caterpillars. For
merly he spent S12, 900 per annum in
guanos ana phosphates, but now makes
mis- own manure. DR.. II. ID. Coleman

Some object, however, seemed un-
known to him, and ne held it up against
the dim light, endeavoring to make out
what It was. To his horror, one of the
statues sprang from its pedestal toward
him, It was instantaneous, bat the
flash was enough the figure ali in
white moved, and leaped upon him (;
then, with a fearful yell, which rang
from end to end of the building, the
thief fell IN a fit upon the floor.
Alarmed by the scream, two or three
officers were speedily at the spot, and
turning on their lanterns, were nearly
as much astOnished in their turn TO ses
white-sheeted figure standing by the
side of a man in commissions.
When their momentary surprise had
ceased upon their discovering who the
sbeeted figure. was, they proceeded to
unfasten the PROSTATE mans scarf and
collar, sprinkled him with water, and
lifted him from the ground his strug-
giles ceased, and few long breaths an
nounced that he was '' coming to.

Where am I?-whn are you said
the miserable culprit.
"Oh, we're particular friends of
yours, " replied the officer.
"But 1 saw saw one of those
things move," said the man, looking
timidly round with dreadful shudder.
Lowcliffe had stripped off his white
raiment by this time, and so did not
shock the wretched Glisser's eyes.
&C We will tell you all about that in
the morning." said the Constable.
"What you have got to do is to come
along with US.
It was so-he had TO g come along,
and directly the exhibitors and their
staff mustered in the building, the in
telligenee few like wild-ire that Mr..
Glisser was in custody for breaking
into stalls at nights.
It was a shock to large circle of his
acquaintance and admirers, who could
hardly believe it, and when, on his
/ lodgings being searched, the bulk OF
all the articles missing from the cOun-
| ters was found, the thing seemed more
/ incredible still. Mr.. Baselton was
especially astenished, because he had
made quite a confident of the young
man, and had the modification of re,
membering how he himself had revealed
to Mr.. Glisser the various plans fol-
detecting the thief and that, if it had
not been for Lowcliffe insisting on the
ruse of attributing the pilfering to th'
afternoon instead of the night, he prob
ably would have put the young man OF
his guard against the scheme whicl
had proved successful. He recovered
his watch and other articles, paid hit
e100 cheerfully, and gained a reputa
ton with the 50 force for the extrem,
readiness with which he put his nam,
down to their subscriptions for deserv

creasing In height. Ladies walk quite
on their toes. For usual walking,
there is not anything more Ia ly-like or
becoming than q plain boot, without
bow, buckle, or any ornament what
ever. This boot makes the foot look
small and graceful, and it Is the best,
most liked by gentlemen, and, e1fre
nous, gentlemen have more taste than
ladies. and ladies would DO we'll to study
their taste. The open tap boot is
merely worn for evening, the high shoe
for morning. Toes Of boots are now
again pointed. This neeessitates a
longer boot, but it makes the foot more
narrow.

BEES IN TIE UNITED STATES.
are two million bee hives IN the Uniied
States. Every hive yields, on an aver
age. a little over twenty pounds Of
honey. The average price at which
honey is sold is twenty-five cents q
pound. So that, after paying their
own board, our bees present us with q
revenue of over S, 800, 900. To reckon
il another way, they make clear gift
of over a pound Of pure honey to every
man, woman, and child In the vast do
main of the United States. Over
twenty-three and one-third million
pounds of wax are made and given 20
US by these industrious workers. The
keepinR of bees is one of the most
profitable investments that our people
can make of their money. The profits
arising from the sale of surplus honey
average from fifty TO two hundred per
cent. Of the capital invested.

TIRES ON BOUNDARY Inns. There
is no more fruitful source Of trouble
between owners and occupants of adj
joining properties than to have tree
on the boundary line. Whether the
question has ever been decided in oui
supreme court or not at common law
the parties to an action of this kind
would have just such rights as are here
cited in a case decided not long since
by the New York court of appeals
The court said that man has no right
TO the fruit growing upon branches OF
n tree overhsnging his land, where the
trunk Of tree stands wholly upon the
land Of his neighbor, But the law re-
CARDS the overhanging branches as a
nuisance, and they may be removed
a. such T; or the owner of the land sha-
ded may remove them If he is careful
not to commit any wanton or unneces-
sary destruction in so doing. Where
the trunk of tree stands on the line,
the owners of the adjoining land have
joint ownership in the tree and fruit
and neither one has right to remove
II without the consent of the other.

GREASE Your NAus.--One Of the sci
entiGc journals says every farmer
who had occasion to drive a nail into
seasoned oak posts knows it's liability
20 bend and break. If the point be
rnoistened in the mouth it viii usually
drive more kindly. Oil is still better,
but then it is inconvenient TO dip each
nail separately intoit. Another point
observed is that boards become loose
eventually from the rusting of the
nails, which communicating TO the
wood, causes not only an enlargement
of the nail hole, but the wearing away
ofthe nail Itself, rendering the fence or
building insecure. This may be pre-
vented by heating any rough grease
until il smokes, and then pouring il
over the nails TO be used. The grease
will penetrate the pores ofthe iron, and
cause the nails to last, without rusting,
an indefinite period. Besides this, no
trouble will be experienced in driving
them into the hardest wood. The rea-
son is that the coating of grease pre-
vents contact of air, and, consequently,
oxidation. Oxygen is the great de-
stroyer of iron, and moisture is the in
fusing cause"
