FAnM AND HOUSEHOLD.

SHOULD ORCHARDS BE CULTIVATED
This is evidently one of those questions
that admit of variable answer. IN
other words, a practice which may be
the best for one orchard may not be so
for another, because the conditions are
far from being uniform. To keep the
ground in an orchard constantly under
cultivation and producing crops, which
are removed annually, will soon eX-
haust the fertility OF the richest SOIL,
unless some kind of fertilizer is return
e,l To make good the amount taken away.
Tue frequent stirring of the SOIL
breaking up, disintcgrating, and put
yerizine are beneficial, for, by keeping
the surface open and loose, we aid the
admission of air and moisture, both of
W hich contain certain elements which
are absorbed by the roots and 60 far to-
wards making up the bulk of all cuiti-
yate6 plants. But as a rule, orcEardiSts
do not think that they can afford TO

weeds in the orchard for no other pur-
pose than to benefit the trees anu i'm
prove the quantity and quality of the
fruit; consequently. when they pillow,
IL must be for the purpose Of sowingsor
planting, and the orchard is kept con-
stantly occupied with some annual farm
crop, or seeded now 10 clover or grass.
To SOW grain of any kind in an orchard,
except on very moist soils, or in hu-
mid climate, seldom fails to check the
growth of the trees, because the grow
ing grain will take the moisture from
the soil at the very time The trees need
il most.

STOCK RUNNING ToGETHER.-A very
common mistake or fault is committed
by farmers IN permitting all kinds OF
stock 10 RIM together in one yard or ella
closure. Horses, colts-which are
risky crearures-bnlls, cows, sheep,
pigs and fowls all run in one yard or
field. The horses worry the colts;
the coils chase the cows and sheep; the
cows hook the colts the bulls gore the
horses; the pigs worry the cows anG
sheep, and often destroy the newborn
calves and lambs; and fowls and ducks
are trampled on and there is a sad time
all around. And the farmer says he
has bad luck and somehow or other
something is always going wrong

Tuesday morning while our ag-
ricultural editor was lazily sitting
in our Office smoking the pipe of
peace Mr.. T. P. Burge came in
and told something that may prove
valuable to our farmer friends.
He said that Venetian red" was
a sure cure for hog cholera. You
mix this paint with meal until it
makes a reddish dough and give
to the hogs about three times a
week. If the hogs refuse to eat it
take small paddle and force it
down them. There is not much
danger of giving them too much,
and it is rarely ever necessary to
dose them more than once. This
remedy was used very effectually
in Alabama last year-curing in
almost every instance. Cholera
has had disastrous effect among
the porkers in this county lately,
and the epidemic is by no means
ended. We learn that several
farmers who had enough hogs to
make plenty of pork for another
year have now only three or four.
If hogs are given sulphur occa-
sionally they will never have chol-
era.

We learn that a sensation has
been created in Leary by the rev.
elation of a marriage between Mr..
J. Z. Mercer, brother of Mr. J. r.
Mercer of our city and well known
here, and Miss Dora Colley, of

Joy officiating. Mr.. Mercer, be
it remembered, is the nephew of
Capt. P. E. Boyd, of Leary, and it
was formally understood that he
would follow the footsteps of his an

and his marriage was quite sur

Colley is the accomplished daugh.

EDITOR DAWSON JOURNAL:
AS I very recently attempted
to make way with myself, l have
concluded to give short accc unit
of things that caused my rash act.
I have as good a wife as there
lives upon the face of the earth;
so it was not my family that caus-
ed me to attempt self Ge itruction.
I went into a small mercantile
business and did not succeed. as
we'll as / expected, 1 neglected my
business on my farm to some ex-
tent, my wife got sick-then came
the first spell of despondency. AT
ter my wife recovered l was taken
sick myself, though not seriously.
Ny spells of despondency increas-
ed and when they came l had no
power to resist them. This con-
tinued for some days, when one of
my mules was lamed. A negro
woman on the place told the
hand who used the mule in the
farm that | would make him pay
for the animal or its lameness,
which caused him to quit.
That evening 1 tried to work,
but was very gloomy and sad.
That night, when I came home to
supper, was when that tremendous
wave of trouble came which itseems
l could not resist. To-day, the 9th,
1 think am doing we'll, but wheth-
er | will recover or not is more
than can tell leave that in
the hands of my Maker. / would
be glad to know that what | have
done will be warning to all who
may be similarly afflicted. I now
ask for the sympathies and pray
ers of the good people of our
county for myself, wife and little
ones. Very Respt'ly,
/ !. IT. ANDERSON.
