large rs a barrel, starting from the zenith,
plunged down the northeastern sky and cxplo-
ded near here with report that reverberated
for thirty seconds, and shook the earth even at
this point The meteor was about five seconds
is falling, during which time the city was lit up
as though by a powerful electric light. Much
excitement prevailed in every quarter. The in
habtants rushed into their houses and closed
their doors, filling the air with screams and
prayers. The time between the disappearance
of the phenomenon and the report three
minutes This would make the distance from
Macon about forty miles.

LINE AND CHARCoAL.--We would advise our
to be obtained in any quantity and in most sit
uations at II very trifing cost. The lime will
supply carbon and oxygen to the plants during
their growth, and the charcoal will take up and
supply them with all the ammonia necessary to
their full development without any over-supply.
Charcoal will also afford to plants sufficient mos-
ture during long droughts from its hydratic
quality of saturating its pores, and from its great
retentive power. 1t also lightens the soil, per-
mitting the sun and air to penetrate to the roots
of the plants, and Lifting all the rain percolate
freely through it that is not required for its own
saturation.

The Cow WITH HER FIRST CALF.-It
is Of en- the case when hcifer has ,r first
calf that the farmer thinks she viii! not give
more milk than will keep her calf in good
condition, and lets them run together TO
teach her the mystery of being MIXED when
she has her next calf. In this decision
there are two mistakes that go far to spoil
the COW for future usefulness.
Cows are largely the creatures of habit,
and with their first calf everything is new
and strange to them, and they readily sub
nit to be MIXED and think it is all right; but
suffer them to run with the calf the first sea-
son and vicious habit is established that
they will hardly forget in lifetime. If they
ever submit to be MIXED quietly, it is evil
IDENTIFY under protest. But there is great
er objection than this: the calf running
with the cow draws the milk every hour or
two, so that the milk vessels are not at any
time distcnded with milk, though the guam
tity secretcd in given time may be large.
But this is the natural time to distcnd the
mik.ducts and expand the uddcr to good
capacity for holding milk.
When with her next calf you require the
milk to be retained twelve hours, the udder
becomes hard and painful, and the milk
leaks from the tcats or more likely nature
accommodates the quantity of milk sccrctcd
to the capacity to retain it, and the COW be-
comes permanently small mixer. Much
of the future character of cow. therefore,
depends ON her treatment with her first
calf
In none orour domestic animals arc hab.
its more readily formed, and more Gmly
fixed than in the COW.
Everything that disturbs the quictness
Of COW impairs the milk, both in quantity
and quality. To obtain the best results,
therefore, there should be regular time
and place Of milking, and as far as possible
the milking should be done by the same
person.

TRAFFIC IN SEED CorroN.-MR. ID. Il

TRAFFIC IN SEED CorroN.--MR. ID. Il.
DURtsoE.-I am in receipt OF yours Of tho
18th, requesting mo to meet your club on
tomorrow, the 10Th, "nnd give my views
as farmer" as to the most practical meas
uro to suppress the traffic in seed COTTON
| regret, owing to n previous engagement,
that cannot join your club in counsel OH
this "sced cotton" question. To know tho
practice of buying seed cotton (with q
fraudulent intcnt) is SO common in our
county that it is thought necessary to bring
the subject prominently before our political
organizations, is n sad commentary on tie
morals of some of our citizens; but sad rs
this may appear, if this thing continues to
injurc, corrupt and confuse our farming in-
tercsts, we should meet the question as men,
ard not allow any man or set Of mon to en-
courage and foster a traffic in "sccd cotton"
or any other product of the soil because
they can take shelter behind some tcchni-
cal construction of the statutes about which
the most learned in the law may differ
My judgment is that our people should
come 10 the front aud formally condemn
this seed cotton traffic as au outrage against
the general farming interest of tho country,
as an encouragement to crime and rs prac-
tice that has and will continue to breed
strife, discomfort and perhaps bloodshcd-
If this is done in prudent but firm way.
you will find few, if any men in tho couu-
ty, who will totally disregard the wish Of
the whole people thus expressed. Should
they continue this trade, it will be dono in
such way that no doubt will be left in tho
mind of any neighbor, friend or foe, as to-
the honesty of their transaction. AS to
that class (if any are to DO found) who have
no respect for the wishes of their neighbors'
and the community generally, ample pro.
vision should be made by tho Legislature
for all such.
To rass a statute to prevent the buying
and selling of seed cotton may appear ae
first sight positively arbitrary and contrary
to the spirit of our form of government.
On this subject, am convinced an act
can be framed with such restrictions and
penalties Gall within the constitution) as
will prevent any and all dishonest transac-
tion in seed cotton, except by those who.
have no respect for their reputation tor
honesty, and when man comes to this point
weall know the law is ample, when tho
proof is furnished, and if we hive much in
tercst in each individual case, the proof car
always be had soon or lato.
How best, in the way of details, to ac-
complish the end your Club has in view,
might perhaps at this time, be imnronsr ta
passing such law, have no doubt; ind ie
should be special charge in the hands of
our delegation during the next session Of
the Legislature.

Pensacola (Fla.) Adrdnee tells the following -
Mr.. John Owens, who lives two miles this side
of Florida Town, ON the Eastern shore of
Eastern shore of Escambia Bay, related to one
of our citizens yesterday most horrifying affair.
His statement was-and he gave it as positive
fact-that on the 10th instant, while o party
numbering some three or four were enjoying q
sea bath, their attention was directed to little
ten or twelve-year,old boy whom they had left
on IL reef in shoal water ncar the beach, the men
having vcntured into deeper water. On looking
in the direction of the child they realized the aw-
ful fact that the boy was being swallowed by an
alligator, fully half the victims body still being
visible and then suddenly disappearing in the
frightful jaws of the monster, whose tremcnd-
Gus mouth was plainly seen by each one present.
They at once returned to shore, but not trace
of the unfortunate lad could be discovered, save
the blood which aoated on the water.
