What the Bilious Require.

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief

OLD VIRGINIA FARMING.-On the
Cloverdale farm of Major w. Il. Suth-
erlin are about $500 acres of ground, Of
which about 900 are under cultivation,
and about 800 in wheat, which will pro-
duce over 5000 bushels. The crop
this year is not only the best ever made
on the place, but the finest crop ia Nir-
ginia. There are six four-horse reapers
constantly running, while dozen era
dies Qhe old plan) are busy cutting the
ripe, golden wheat. There are also
about 100 hands employed in the har-
vesting. We saw several negro women,
wives Of the men, engaged in shocking
the wheat. So it seems Major Suther-
lin is very kind in employing women,
and colored ones, too. All hands were
busy at work when we saw them. The
proprietor expects to garner over 5000
bushels of nice new wheat at Clover
dale alone; while at two other farms lie
will house the same quantity, which
will give him over $4,000 bushels of
wheat that will in good market com
mand about Sl.75 per bushel. With
out any exaggeration this is the finest
wheat crop We ever saw, and will equal,
if not excel any in the Valley of Virgi-
MIA or the Valleys of California, and
that, too, without a particle of fertili-
GERS of any kind. To view such fine
prospect for crop as this farm presents
makes every one wish they were so
well to do.
Here also we saw several hundred
acres Of nice green oats well headed
which will soon be ripe and will produce
abundantly. Then you can see hun
dreds of acres in tobacco and corn, all
fourishing. We learn Major Sntherlin
will make 1900 barrels Of corn and
thousands of pounds of tobacco. This
is undoubtedly one of the finest pieces
of farming property in the State, aud
more sought after by moneyed men.
1t is not ouly treat but perfect charm
TO the eye.-Danuihe Neps.

1y~ STRUCK BY DEMONSTRATING
the heavy storm which passed over a
portion of this County, about 3 o'clock,
on Tuesday morning last, the barn of
Ilr. Charles Aglionby, on the farm on
which he resides, about a mile south of
Duffields Depot, was struck by light
ming and burned to the ground. One
horse was killed by the lightning and
about tons of hay destroyed, as well
as some gearing, &c. Some ten or fiji
teen harvest hands were sleeping in the
barn at the time, but fortunately all es-
capped without injury. As soon as the
lightning struck the barn the hands pro-
ceeded to the stables and turned loose
the horses and cattle, and saved them
from the flames. The barn was very
good one but not large. We learn it
was fully insured.

A great many of our young men it
appears, and some old ones two. in Or
der to improve their fortunes, as they
suppose, are removing to the great
West. We regret to see this, and we
think in the end they will be disap-
pointed. There is wisdom in the prov
erb-"Let well enough alone" The
West, attractive as it may seem to be,
we are sure offers no greater advantages
20 energetic and So-ahead people than
our own State. We have everything
in the way of climate and land that can
be desired. We live midway between
the two great extremes of heat and cold
perhaps, more correctly speaking. in
The temperate zone. We have imme-
diately around us all the comforts and
accessories that belong TO the highest
civilization. We have churches. schools
and colleges at orr very doors, with
markets for our products nea, at hand.
besides thousand and one advantages
not Snowu in the far West. 1t should
be remembered also that our own State
needs the brain and the strong arms OF
all her children to develop the resources
that now lie dormant within her Dor
ders, and it should be noted that the re-
.urns Of beth labor and capital are as
ample here as anywhere in the West.
Taking all things into consideration
then, We would say to ou3 people that
it is infinitely better and more satistac-
tory for them to remain in their own
native State.

GEoRGIA's WHEAT CRoP.-The Alan
ia Constitution says of the wheat crop
in that State that not only is the acre
age greater than it has perhaps ever
been in that section, but the yield per
acre is magnificent. Many farmers will
harvest from twenty-five to thirty bush
els of plump white wheat to the acre,
and there are farmers in every county
whose respective products of wheat will
run up into several thousands OF bush
els. The Georgia farmers have evident
" concluded that cotton is not entirely
king, and with wise forethought they
have determined to raise their own
bread.
