This amounts to almost million and half
that the gamblers make out of it. The
Western Union pays half of It, the stock
holders get nothing In return, and, in the end,
il all comes out Of tho public. 1t is clever
stock ;jobbing operation, but It does not add
any lustre to the reputation Of any one con-
cerned In It,

SPEAKING Of the alliance between the At
lantic and Pacific and the Western Union
Telegraph Companies the Philadelphia Times
argues that the arrangement was consum-
mated not in the interest of stockholders, but
to help the gamblers out Of losses which were
inevitable without practical consolidation.
The terms Of the bargain are upon these
terms: The Western Union Telegraph Company
takes abont n 200 shares OF tho hands Of SAGE,
KEESE and GARRISON at %, paying there
for half In cash and half In Western Union, at
~. This then Is the profit to SAGE, KBESE and
GARRISON, which comes out of the treasury Of
the Western Union:
Premium over market value 10, which Is
about cost to s., X. and @. on 1880

fxPENDING EUROPEAN WAR.
STATE OF GEORGIA, y
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
ATLANTA, April II, 1877.

nihhas HAPah A's ~o'f'J
To the Farmers Of Georgia:
In view of the threatened war in the East
which seems now to DC unavoidnble--it
becomes us rs prudent men to avert, as far as
possible, its disastrous effects upon our in
dustrics by wise forecast in our farm econ
omy.
The indications now are that there will
be protracted war, involving the leading
powers of Europe, the necessary consequence
of which will be rapid advance in the price
of all food supplies.
Even the ''rumor of war" has already
caused an appreciable advance in meats and
breadstuffs, aud decline in our great staple
---cottop., Unusually. klspss s-shiprcntsssE
provisions to the various European ports are,
already reported aud must continue SO long
as the war lasts.
The foreign demand for cotton may be
greatly reduced, and its price fall below even
its present low figures.
In view of those facts, the farmers of
Georgia arc urged to increase their areas in
provision crops. 1t is not yet too late to
increase the area in corn, even if it has to
be done by red icing the area in cottou.-
Let farmers plant enough corn to insure an
ample supply for the ensuing year. Let
them plant crops for their hogs, and force
them forward to secure, as nearly as possible,
a supply of bacon for home consumption
Let them plant literally in German millet
and field peas to supplement- their corn crop
in feeding stock, in order that more of their
corn may be used for bread.
IF the war should be averted-of which
there is at present little probability-we will
have lost nothing by the above policy /; if
not, We will have provided against the pos
sibility of loss or suffering. In either event,
those who adopt the above advice will have
nothing to regret, while those who do not
may be compelled to purchase provisions at
ruinously high prices, and pay for them
with cotton at prices even below the cost of
production. Very respectfully,
THOMAS p. JAMES,
Commissioner of Agriculture

for the potato patch, as VIC call it. Plough
your intended potato patch two or three
times before setting out draws Having it
in rows. Plough and reverse, getting the
soil in fine tilth. When the time is near
for setting out, take single shovel plough,
open your beds to the depth of three inches,
put little pure stable manure in tho trench
and await the rain. If the rain does not
come, set out with water-hulf pint to
each hlIl-the earth being pressed firmly
around the potato root, and little dry dirt
sprlnkled around the top ground Next is
the setting out--somc say one foot, some say
two feet apart say four inches.
The best cultivation is to plough to your
potato all the time, pulling tho earth up
around the little plants with tho hoe the
first working. Never bar off, therel saw.
ing the small roots which make potatoes,
and saving one-half the ploughing.
In 1876, made $50 bushels sweet pota-
toes on one half acre of land by this mode

hoe, and ploughing to the potato.--R Il.

TIE MAN WHO Srops HIS PAPER
Philip Gilbert IIamerton, in his admirable
papers on "Intelectual Life" thus talks to
the man who stopped his paper "Nowspa-
pcrs are to the civilized world what the
daily house talk is to the members of the
family-thcy keep our daily interest in each
other, they save us from the evils of isola-
tion To live as member of the great
white race that has filed Europe and Am.
erica, and colonized or conquered whatever
territory it has been pleased to occupy to
share from day to day its thoughts, its cares,
its inspirations, it is necessary that every
man should read his paper. Why are the
French peasants so bewildercd and at sea
1t is because they never read newspaper.
And why are the inhabitants of the United
States, though scattered over territory
fourteen times the area Of France, so much
more alive and modern, so much more inter
ested in new discoveries of all kinds, and ca
pable of selecting and utilizing the best of
them! II is because the newspapers penetrate
everywhere, and even the lonely dweller on
the prairie or in the forest is not Intellectually
isolated from the great currents of public
life which flow through the telegraph aud
press"
