Vegetable Culture.

Mr.. Trapp, of Randolph county, who
has taken a very deep Interest in the
development of vegetable culture 10
that county writes the following lee
ter to the editor of the Cuthbert I'M
peal:
Dear Sawtell:
A recent trip through the counties of
LOwndes, Brooks aud Thomas clearly
dem Cnstrated the fact that there is
more thrift and enterprise among the
farmers there than in any other sec.
ton of Georgia, and after careful in
quiry | found the key to their success
and independence, was the adding of
melons and vegetables to their crops.
1t may astonish you whom 1 say over
one thousand acres planted in water
melons this season in these coun-
ties, while large acreage will be de-
voted to Irish potatoes, Tomatoes, Gu
cumbers and thelike. They have no fear
of Cutting the market, for past expert
ence teaches they ear sell at good pri-
ces all they can raise. l found com.
mission merchants therc from New
York soliciting shipments when ready
for market, also parties prepa ring to
buy straight ont when losded on cars,
so this business is established, In re-
ply to an inquiry about the profit in
growing these fruits and vegetables,
| was told the melons had already
paid fifty dollars net, and the Yeceta
bles over one hundred dollars per acre.
In addition to the above, have no
idea any other section of the state has
so much home cured meat on hand, or
more oats aud c1rn-iu every sense
Of the word, its a land of plenty
Would that our good people of Ran
dolph would try this departure, and
see for themselves whether its better
than ali cotton II they will, and 1
can render them any assistance in find
ing a good market for their Produce, l
will cheerfully do so. sgd B. Trap

Hints to Pork Makers.

In the Farmers Review T. D..
Cohurp offers the following Limits:
While it has been demonstrated
that under favorable circumstances
twenty pounds of live hog can be
made from fifty six pounds of shelled
corn, it has been even more thorough
ly demonstrated that tens of thou
sands Of men every year feed millions
Of bushels of corn to hogs that never
return that quantity, while a good
round per cent. of them fall even
short of that. A hog to falten or
even grow rightly must not be cold,
and especially not sold and wet, too,
as he is sure to be if much exposed
in inelement weather; hence he
should have quarters where most of
his time, when net eating, will be
passed in healthful sleep, warm and
undisturbed. This cannot be had in
leaky stye or a manure heap"
In referring to the plan of keep
ing corn or food all the time before
them he says: "Surely in this way
their appetite and relish for it cannot
be so good as when only as much is
given as they will clean up; then
next time they GONE with alacrity to
what should be to them an enjoya-
BILE feast. This by no means signifies
that they should be allowed to be-
come squealing, screaming, hungry.
The more they eat the faster they are
likely to lay ON flesh and fat, aud
they will eat most when fed a reason
able Quantity and at regular intervals
To keep them full without being at
any time cloyed is thehappy medium
20 SEEK.
tJpon another point @hicl is gen.
orally lost sight of in feeding, he
says: "Too little attentionis paid TO
supplying hogs with plenty of clean
water. We all know (or at least [
do) that they are pretty nasty, and
eat and drink a good many nasty
things but am persuaded that they
like drink of cool, clean water as
well as any person, and better tina"
a great many do, for they Would be
glad to have it oftentimes when
many man would not be satisfied
without something considerably
stronger and good deal lees whole
some"

THE COURTS MISTAKE.

Judge Davis used to tell some ad-
mirahle stories of an old Illinois Judge,
one of which We chahce particularly
to remember. One of the Judges
was rather remarkable for conveying
to jurors in his charges to them his
own opinions with regard to the
merits of the case. In one case he
had done so with great plainness,
but TO his alnazement the jury hung
out for hours without coming to an
agreement The judge inquired of
the bailiff what was the matter, and
learned from him that one juror was
hanging out against the other eleven.
He sent for the jury at once, and,
stating to the jurors that he had
plainly intimated how the case ought
30 be decided, said that he under
stood that one juror was standing ont
against the other eleven. He pro-
ceeded to rebuke the juror sharply.
The obstinate juror was nervous
little man, and, as soon ais the Judge
was done, he rose aud sas1:
Judge, may 7 say a word p
Eyes, SIR said The Indignant
judge. "what have YOU got to say?'

CHUFAs.
Some Facts Concerning Them
Are They Profitable I?

Worth Start ytf
Saturday we met Mr. James Hollens-
worth, a young farmer living in the 9Th
district, and from him CLEANED these
facts in regard to chufas:
Last year be planted one acre in
chufas, in rows three feet apart On
this patch he made enough, with the
aid Of few bushels of corn, to fattcn
enough meat to run him this year, and
forty dollars worth which he sold. He
says hogs will eat chufas in preference
to corn, peas or potatoes, and that
they will fatten quicker on them.
On another patch of "a rows, Efteens
steps long, he made two bushels
to the row, or forty-eight bushels.
Besides fattening the hogs mentioned,
he has sold Ave dollars worth OF chu-
fas for seed. rW
Mr.. Hollensworth is of the opinion
that no, other crop will take the
pla,e of chafas in fattening hogs, aud
says he considers it one Of the most
important crops that can be grown.
The chufa will make as we'll by
transplanting as from the seed, end re-
quires very little oultivating. As
meat is indispensable to the success of
the farmers, we hope they will give the
caufa subject due consideration.

or demand as in this blessed Goth
am of ours. The case of Mace
and Slade is an instance. These
two distinguished gentlemen of
bruising proclivitives proposed to
give an exhibition of "science" at
Madison Square Garden. There
was to be no knocking out. They
were simply going to put on soft
gloves and show what sparring
was when reduced to a fine art.
Then a number of the goody-
goody people, who write "letters
to the EDITORS" and to the Mayor,
demanding in the name of Justice
that smoking on front platforms
OF street cars be stopped, and
wage relentless war against other
similar crimes, wrote to the Nav
or declaimiRg against this "bru-
tai exhibition. The Mayor sent
for the police and the police to
show how eager they are to make
New York sort of New Jerusa-
lem, stopped the performance and
arrested Mace and Slade. Now
they have got white elephant on
their hands. The fact is that the
days of brutal pugilism are over
except in very limited circle, but
when boxing and sparring matches
are given nightly in dozens of re-
sorts in town, when the Young
mems Christian Association en-
ploys boxing master to teach
frequenters of the Gymnasium the
manly art, when every Gymnastic
Society and Athletic Club cult
Yates biceps and the art of using
ones fists, when boxing in Eng
land has made the silly
duelling habit in vogue on the
continent of Europe an impossi-
bility, when clergymen, lawyers
and professional men generally
find in boxing and sparring an
agreeable relaxation and health
giving amusement-then the po-
lice did wrong to interfere with
the display of those two experts
of the art of "give and take"
This is no defence of Mace and
Slade. They are relics of an era
which has passed, but it must be
CALLING to every man of the world
to see the city ruled by the igno-
rant cant and sham civilization of
a few.
Despite the denial of the report
that Mr.. John r. Mclean the
editor of the CINCINNATI Enquirer
proposed to buy the New York
World, it is again asserted, and in
pretty good quarters too, that
there is great deal Of truth in it.
The World cost the Gould party
$3.50, 1000. It can now be had for
$4,000. In the hand Of live
man with no financial bolstering
to carry on his shoulder, and no
British peerage history to mutfle
his voice, it could be made paying
property. Mr.. Mclean was in
town again to-day, and people
who profess to know, say that it is
all on the account of the World.

A Fiddle Plays the MiScIfIef,
Cresfield Leader.
A very amusing Scene, which illus
trates the superstition and ignorance
Of the colored people on the peninsula,
occurred in the kitchen Of Hotel at
Milford few nights ago. A. lad had
been playing on an old violin, aud the
others had been dancing to his music
in merry mood When bed timS ar
rived the boy hung the fiddle near
window, and all we're in the act of re.
firing. when low strains we're heard to
Issue from the fiddle, which was un-
touched by human fandS There was
at once general stampede from the
house into the sno&. and cries that the
snow and cries that the fiddle was be-
witchcd. One colorsd man said it was
the gohst of Samuel Mason, who was
murdered a few weeks since at Milton
aud another declared that ne had rec
ogrised the shades of his dead father.
Finally the bravest peered into tie
kitchen aud heard the fiddle still max
ing the mysterious sounds, and getting
3 pole he knocked it from the nail and
burned it, jSsA as our puritan fathers
of New England punished witches.
But none Of the colored people slept in
the house that night. Il is, perhaps, un'
necessary to adj that current of afr
was playing upon that violin.
