A Small Industry

The business of poultry raising is
a small industry, but one which can
be made a profitable and pleasant
pursuit. To the housewife it more
appropriately belongs, and it is to
be regretted that the good women
of the south pay SO little regard TO
it. The head of family who is
under the necessity of supplying
eggs and chickens for the table,
from one year to another, is prepared
to estimate the aid which a frugal
housewife may afford, by paying
proper attention to the poultry yard.
There is no one who can not, by
judicious management, whether in
town, city or country, raise a suffi
cheney of chickens and eggs to meet
the wants of an ordinary family,
and many may go farther and realize
a surplus which would help to sup
ply other necessities.
There is nothing prettier than
flock of well selected and well fed
chickens, as they gather with affec-
ton about the kindly housewife for
their morning and evening meals;
and it is surely source of pride
and qualification when the lady of
the house adds to her larder an
of freshly laid eggs. She
who thus aids her husband is a real
character of real worth, most highly
distinguished above the fippant,
thoughtless or negligent women who
take no practical views of what they
may or ought to do.
1t is true that method, care and
industry are essential to success in
this auxiliary pursuit, but the re
ward for all this is sure and pleasant.
We, therefore, invite the ladies of
Georgia, generally, to consider this
subject and make an earnest expert
ment in this line. One of the most
practical Introductory details is the
selection of approved breeds, but
none should delay beginning who
are able even to procure a supply of
the ancient stock who served our
fathers and mothers we'll before the |

A Observation-Disclosures
man, Observation-Disclosures
girls-home-from: church-young man,
has come to grief in Altoona. This
not-very-wise young man was in
the habit of taking the girl of his
choice to the church door and leav-
ing her there. At the conclusion of
the service, he waited, according to
the custom of the town, at the
church door, until his sweetheart
appeared. when he crooked his elbow
and they went arm in arm. The
city council passed an ordinance
denominating this sort of waiting
round the door as loafing and
ordered the arrest Of persistent loaf
ers. The hang about-the-door-
young-man was ordered away, but
he would see 'em skinned alive be-
fore he would 60. He was arrested,
calaboosed, fined. Worse than that,
the girl for whom he had suffered
him, and his aunt disin
herited him.

The Mirage Of City Life.

Throughout this country thou
sands of young men look with anx-
ious hearts to the city as the Para
disc of brick and mortar where
their imaginations have depicted to
them glorious visions of wealth &C
cumulated by honest toll. All they
desire is a chance to make an hon
est living, and their belief is firm
that everything is possible to the
determined soul. Every year the
stream pours into the city of young,
fresh hearts, to find, alas! too soon,
that all their bright hopes were
mirages of the city. The avenues
for spending money are greater than
those for making it. Wants are
without the ability to
crafty them. Dependency takes
the place of buoyancy, and the spir
it is crushed beneath the weight of
ambition. a panic
sweeps over the land, and all de
partments of manufacture and com
merce give way under the pressure.
Many are reduced to lower wages,
or turned loose without resources or

trade, or to fill up the ranks of the.
professions. Both are necessary.
Yet a community can not long sur

In all our great cities there are
thousands of families living from

The Insatiate P1ace-Hunter.

A Washington special says the
president will not make any new APP
pointments for some time. if at all ;
that no names have been determined
on, and that newspaper reports so
widely and positively circulated
during the last ten days, had their
origin in the friends of persons who
would like to go into the cabinet,
and who imagine that their aims can
be helped by the circulation of such
rumors and printing of commenda
tory notices. The president him
self is extremely reticelt ON the
subject of appointment of any kind,
and the white house secrets of this
kind are carefully guarded. Persons
who are in friendly relations with
the president remark, however, that
candidates for office do not benefit
their cause by sending delegations
of congressman and politicians, to
visit him and urge their appoint
ment.

Goats to Protect Sheep.

The farmers of Hunterdon and
Somerset counties, New Jersey, use
goats to protect their sheep from
dogs. Two goats can drive away
a dozen dogs, and two are about all
each farmer puts with his sheep.
As soon as dog enters the field at
night the goats attack him, and
their butting propensities are too
much for the canine, who soon finds
himself rolling over and over. A

bear to see the stain of sin upon
him, and to speak painful truth
through loving words, that is friend

One of the best preventative to
exhausting the fertility of our lands
is raising stock. Instead of send
ing off wheat, corn, oats, hay, &c,
these productions should be fed to
cattle, horses, sheep and swine. By
feeding stock on the farm, a large
portion of the ingredients compos-
ing the crops are returned to the
soil, and thus the fertility is main
tanned. Then again stock can take
themselves to market, thus saving
a large amount of hard work in haul
ing off grain, hay and other heavy
crops. While, of course, it is not
advisable for all farmers to raise
stock yet those who do give it their
chief attention make more money
and make it easier than the grain
growers, and, in addition, keep their
farms in better condition.

We are glad to see efforts made
to breed horns off of cattle. Col.
Ross of Illinois has been quite sue
cessful in this direction by breeding
n Polled Norfolk bull upon his
Devon COWS. Horns are relic OF
the savage state, and were needed
for self protection, and the protec
ton of their young. In a civilized
state they are unnecessary, and
cattle frequently injure one another
severely with them. Anti horns
should be the motto among breeders.

If you want to raise anything to
feed stock there is nothing equal to
the Early Amber cane. 1t can be
sown broadcast or planted in drills,
and will yield many tons per acre of
the best forage for stock, and if cut
just as the seed reaches the dough
state, it will give you twenty or
thirty bushels Of seed per acre in
addition which as food for stock is
almost equal to corn. 1t beats corn
or any other crop for forage for all
kinds of stock. In the dairy by its
use the increase of milk will be at
least % per cent.

1t is one sign of good farmer if
he prizes manure. 1t does not re
quire a good farmer to raise bounti-
full crops on a farm already rich, but
the art lies in so managing the farm
that it will produce good crops
every year without losing fertility.
A man may make money from his
farm while he is wasteful of fertil-
izers, but he is not a good farmer,
for he is constantly running his
land into debt. Good farming con-
sists of such management as will
make the farm produce the best
possible results without deteriorat
ing the soil. This can only be &C
complished by a rigid economy in
The making and using of manure
and by such a systematic rotation of
crops as will be the least exhaustive

The Power Of Titles.

A distinguished southern doctor
of divinity once wrote a strong es-
say on 'The Creative Power of
Littles." The poet speakes Of
" Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean and the beauteous
land"
The river is the aggregation of small
streams, and the Golfers of the
millionaire are filed with the aggre-
cation of cents. One dollar saved
every week in five years grows to
$3.50, and in 20 years to 81, $780,
This may be done without seriously
feeling its effect, as is fifty illustrated
by the miller who agreed to support
the pastor of church when the
members complained Of their in
ability to pay him. The miller
simply took toll out of every gri- t
for the minister as we'll as for him
self, and the people never felt any
inconvenience.
Take toll for your old age even
if your earnings are small and the
little savings of the present will, in
the future, swell into a princely
sum. The little industries make up
the general veal h; the little leaks
and little expenses are the sources
of general poverty. Among the
leaks in southern farm life, we note
BAD ROADS.
The experience of every farmer
will attest the fact that our roads
are always in bad order, inficting
double du Y on the horse to pull
the load,and causing the wagon often
to go to the shop for repairs. This
is a heavy tax and big leak.
BAD FENCES.
Required to fence in his crops to
fence out his neighbours stock, bad
fences are the source of constant
annoyance to him, and serious loss
If he keeps up a good fence even
then the tax is heavy upon him.
BAD DRAINAGE.
Many farms are unproductive
because they are not properly
drained, but the greatest leak is
when the farmer, by a want of
thorough cultivation, drains the soil
of its fertility and gives nothing
back to it. The soil and the farmer
grow poorer and poorer every yesr.
COSTLY FORAGE.
Another great leak is feeding
stock on the costliest forage, which
increases the cost of producing other
crops.
UNCARED-FOR STOCK.
A serious leak is the want of care
for stock.
These are a few of the little leaks
that, if stopped, will add to the
prosperity and pleasure of the
farmer Southern World.

Every farmer should resolve to
carry on his farming for the year
1882 on better system than ever
before. AS the farmer grows older,
he should grow wiser, and improve
his methods yearly. He should
look back on the past, and ask him
self what mistakes he has made, and
then resolve to avoid them in the
future. He ought to know what
has been most profitable for him to
produce in the past, and that is a
pretty fair criterion of what will pay
him best in the future. There is
ample time now to consider what
should be produced as money crop
in 1882.
