8bf Farm.

FERTILIZERs.-Many of our Georgia far
mers do not attach as much importance as
they should to the necessity OF keeping up
their lands by enriching them. Many farms
in our State are worn out. and many are de-
fcient In certain needful elements. Farmers
should carefully study their fields. One
field may need lime, another a richer ma
nure, while the orchard and vineyard are
benefited by bones planted close to the roots
of trees and vines. Roots will grow around
and feed upon them for many years. or until
they are consumed. They can be put IN
whole or broken with an axe.
Farmers should collect the vegetable mat
ter from every nook and corner OF the farm,
and incorporate it with the manure heap, or
with swamp mud, lime and gypsum form a
compost heap; collect leaves. Fork over
this compost once or twice In a year and
dress the land with it.
The following is a good fertilizer for the
garden: Hen manure, ashes, plaster and
salt mixed in equal quantities, except the
salt, of which one-fourth will be sufficient.
Mix and apply either in the hill at the sur
face, or broadcast.
Ashes are beneficial In nearly all soils.
Their action is two-fold they supply to
plants inorganic constituents which they re-
quire, and they act chemically as solvents
upon other salts in the soil, or they neutra-
lie acids, etc. They are more beneficial on
sandy and ~gravelly lands than on clay. For
plants that contain a large percentage of
potash aud phosphoric acid, as carrots, tur-
nips, potatoes and cabbages, ashes are an
essential manure.

Raleigh Neus:: Raleigh has ffty-two resi-
dent lawyers. The Directors of the North
Carolina Railroad were in session in this
city on Friday and Saturday. They de-
claled an annual dividend of six per cent,
three payable the lst of March, and three
payable the lst Of September. They also
paid to the trust fund, or ten-year bonds,
twenty thousand dollars.-Warrenton
items The Inferior court has been reor-
gained in this county, the magistrates hav-
ing come to the conclusion that expense to
dot of the Gath Late yesterday aft ernoon
our village was made to sorrow at the death
OF Mr.. Jockey Simmons, father of our much
loved Professor of that name.
The Post gives the following account of
the sale of North Carolina tobacco in the
Danville market last Friday: One lot was
grown by Miss MN. Robinson, of the Roam
oke section of North Carolina, a young
lady who combines personal attractions of
no ordinary character with a fine knowl-
edge of practical farming. This lot was
sold for Sl65 per hundred. Another lot,
belonging to Mr.. H.. L. Duckett, of the
same section, was started at $I60 and was
knocked down at $261. Still another lot,
raised in the same locality by Mr.. Il. c..
Glance, was sold at the enormous sum of
500.
Windsor correspondent of the Elizabeth
City Economist: Our cotton factory is still
doing we'll. Parties from Georgia and
South Carolina, and also from Sampson,
Beaufort and Washington counties, in this
State, have recently visited Windsor with
the view of examining the Harden factory
and establishing factories in their sections.
They left we'll pleased with their examina-
tiOn.'

CRAVING PECAN NUTs.-It is certainly to
be regretted that our people cannot more
fully appreciate the pecan as q crop 10 oe
cultivated. Thousands upon thousands OF
we'll arranged and carefully cultivated
groves ought now to he coming on In all
narts of the lower Mississippi valley; yet,
strange as it may seem. they are just about
as few apd far between AS angels visits.
WHY. I carnot tell, unless it is merely
another case of the prophets in his own
country the pecan being 'only a wild
tree. F." YOU know. Possibly we would all
have English ~walnuts, woul they grow viii
us as readily as does the pecan, and yet
there is always a demand for the fruit of
the pecan, and is really more profitable than
that of the English walnut. We ought to put
out pecan trees. Neglecting to do so may
e wronging the generation to come after
Us. There can be no doubt of the fact that
the man who leaves to his posterity a flour
ishing grove of pecan trees, leaves them
a legacy almost as good as a gold mine.
That is what they say concerning the olive
groves in the Old World, and a pecan
grove, properly cared for, would be worth,
all things considered, just about as much
as an olive grove of the same size.
The pecan starts readily from seed most
of the nuts offered for sale in the shops will
terminate promptly if carefully planted.
It likes low, rich, bottom land, not per
mancntly wet, though it will do very well
on uplands and in soil Of almost any char
acter. In a word, any soil that will sustain
an apple or a peach orchard, will do for the
pecan and it is a tree of much wider range
than is generally supposed. | have seen as
fine pecans growing in the woods along the
Mississippi river, one hundred miles above
St. Louis, IS ever grew in the State Of
Texas.

We have heard now and again Of men
with very small souls, but rhetoric, the rhe-
toric of indignation, exhausts itself when it
declares that "a whole regiment of SIGH
souls could wander about in amustard seed
for a century and never come within hear
ing distance of each ether The better
thing, however. is to accept the theory of
Drawn and admit that men have no souls
at all for what practical use a diminutive
particle of Immortality, as microscopic as
that above mentioned, would be, it might
be difficulty to say. A long experience
with life compels US to admit that there are
men whose souls are not large enough to oc-
cupy the whole extent of their bodies. The
heart especially is never touched by all the
animating substance, and becomes shrivel-
led. dry and bard in consequence. If it be
really true that all men have souls it is one
of the most difficult truths to accept which
an over generous theology imposes.

HoGs.-Get good hogs. such as will ma
ture in eight or ten months. Give pigs all
they will eat, and of the best kind. Never
let pigs get poor. Keep hogs out of ma
nure piles keep them clear of vermin with
sulphur and coal oil. Feed and water them
regularly. Give them all the surplus ashes
from the house. Remember that young
stock fattens much more readily than old
stock. Pigs, when they nave attained their
growth, fatten at a less cost than when OIL
der. The same is true Of all other animals.
Hogs when nearly fat are liable to have
disordered stomachs through over feeding,
refusing their food. The best antidote for
this is charcoal. Charred corn cobs or char
red corn have a good effect.
Parsnips, carrots, turnips, and especially
mangel w~urzels, will all fatten pigs. These
roots ought to be given in a raw state, but
always cooked and mixed with beans, peas,
corn, oats, or barley, all which IN be
ground into meal.

CHICKEN CHoLERA.-When fowls do not
have access to sharp gravel or coarse sand,
being fed too much whole corn, will some
times produce cholera. New damp corn, or
grass which has become succulent after pro-
tracted rains, if fed mostly to fowls, will
produce cholera. The gas from fermented
manure piles will cause it. If fowls drink
filthy, stagnant water for a lergth of time,
1t will produce it. Wheat screenings con-
tanning much smut will get fowls out of con-
dition, if it will not produce cholera. Some
times when too many potatoes are used with
corn meal and wheat bran dough, cholera
will be produced. In using potatoes, add a
tablespoonful each of salt and cayenne pep
per to two gallons of meal bran and potatoes.

pounds of clean grease {; boil slowly three
hours ; add one half pound finely pulver-
1zed borax, dissolved in a little hot water,

Iul not TO allow too much, thereby getting
too much grease in. .

FEEDING STOCK.-There should be no
falling off in the condition of any farm ami
NAL at this season. Shelters should be pro
vided for stock and used when necessary,
All animals should have straw or leaves to
lie upon. They should have a variety of
food, to be changed every few days. Water
In winter is very essential for stock. Water
and food should be furnished regularly.
They should be fed literally. We'll grown,
well fed and high bred animals are the ones
In demand.

Compost heaps may be made of muck or
earth for a basis to this may be added leaves,
cotton-seed, ashes, gypsum, night soil,
stable manure, trash from fields Except
weeds in seed), and all the Stops from the
houses and cabins. Plenty of water should
be added. By turning the heap the com
post will be tine enough to use in the hill

To TELL A HORSES AGE.-After a horse
is nine years old a wrindle comes to the
eyelids, at the upper corner of the lower
lid. and every year thereafter he has one
we'll defined wrinkle for each year of his
age over pipe. If, for instance. = horse has
three wrinkles he is twelve; if four. tbir-
teen. Add the number of wrinkles to nine
and you will always get it.

EIGHTH DISTRICT MATTERS.

Because "sow the wind and reap
the whirlwind' was first written
good many hundred years ago, is no
reason why it should not hold good
at this time, and, in fact, evidences
of its truthfulness are very album
dant. Our democratic citizens of
Tennessee are receiving singularly
striking proofs of it with every
days developments. The leaders
Of that party were much pleased
with the thought that their course
in depreciating the credit of the
state and thus rendering repudia-
ton possible, was neat Job and a
good card to lead. Without at
tempting to pry too much into the
workings of their Utmost souls we
timidly venture the assertion thai
the job is viewed through a differ
ent pair Ofspectacles now. It's results
have been most unfortunate. In a
party sense they have beer
ruinous. Not only have
they broken through the dens,
ranks of Tennessee democracy when
drawn up in state array, but they
have most cruelty broken their forces
in congressional matters. 1t is very
dangerous to leave a coal of fir,

congressional district. Hon. j. D.
G. Atkins has been nominated by
the democrats; Capt. S. W. Haw@
kins, of Carroll county, is the re-
publican candidate, and Col. Max>
we'll, of Decatur, will lead the
greenback hosts. There is another
element in this district, though, that
has its representative in the
field, and that is the repudiationists,
with Col. w. E. Travis as their
chosen leader. Capt. Hawkins is
admitted by the jackson Tribune
and Sun to be one Of the best men
in the republican party, and will
command his entire party vote,
which is 8,095. Gen. Atkins re-
celved 1912 votes in 1876, presi>
Dental year, when the whole party
was out. Col. Maxwell will re.
ceive the greenback vote, which in
1878 was 1912. This leaves a
margin of only 3,1o5 for Atkins to
run on. If Travis can poll any
thing like the Reputation vote in
the nine counties composing the dis
trict, he can defeat Atkins and elect
Hawkins. While this is ga con
summation devoutly to be Wished
yet we can not but say "the wages
