Another Georgia Genius.
Mr.. J. M. Cox,of Mitchell coun.

ty, has invented on attachment to
a cotton gin which will eifectualiy
prevent fire by friction from
matches. Mr.. Cox gavo an exhi-
bition of his invention in the rear
of Finn & Mclntyre's on Monday
afternoon. He placed a lot Of dry
seed cotton in the feeder. through
which he scattered box OF
matches. To be certain that the
cotton would take fire, when going
through the gin,ho struck matches
and fired it. And yet the attach
ment extinguished the fire, and
sent the unscorched white lint
whirling from the machine. 1t is
claimed also by The inventor that
the lint is improved by this new
attachment. A number Of farm
ers and others watched the trial
with interest. 1t was the univcr-
sal opinion Of all that the attach
ment is all that Mr.. Cox claims
for it. 1t is certainly a safeguard
against fire. And this is a great
point gained-Thomasville Times.

Unsalted Butter.

1t is sound rule, that everything should
go to market as soon as it is ready to ship.
This rule applies with particular force to
such perishable article as butter. It can
be kept, but it requires some latitude of
language to even call such butter sweet
To make it keep longer than thirty days, it
must have liberal allowance Of salt to
neutralize the effects of the buttermilk that
cannot always be gotten out. The French
and English markets for the highest grades
OF butter, require that no salt whatever be
put in it. The best markets of this coun-
try are tending in the same direction. The
higher the price paid for the butter, the
less salt will be tolerated in it. Such but
ter is very hard to make, and must be mar
keted and should be eaten within four or
five days from the churn. The compensa-
ton for this haste and extra labor is that
more OF it is consumed, and the price is
generally much above that of the highest
market quotations. We have heretofore
described the process of making sgranular
butter" This is simply butter which is
chilled in the churn when it is in the
mustard-seed or wheat grain condition, be-
fore it has gathered into larger masses.
The butter-milk is drawn off and cold
water, or even ice water added. Then it is
washed with cold water, removed from the
churn to barrel Or stone jar without
MASKING the grains, and the vessel is then
filled up with strong brine. Before ship
ping, the first brine should be changed, as
it will dissolve considerable casein and look
turbid, and a second brine will probably
remain clear. While in the brine, the but
ter must be covered by a circular piece of
wood, nearly fitting the barrel, or by a
plate if in stone jar, and weighted SO
that it will be kept submerged Such but
ter will keep for weeks, and when removed
from the brine and rinsed well with water,
becomes virtually ''sweet BUTTER" and is
easily worked into rolls or prints to suit
the market. If worked without washing
out the brine, the very slight flavor of salt
is to our taste an rovement.-American
Agricuzturist for March.

THE MILL-WHEEL.

'And shall you never come back ?" she said.
Where she stood by his side, in the porch,
rose-covered-
Up in the jasmine over her head
A peacock butterfly poised and lowered.
And ever through hush of the languid noon
They heard the beat of the ceaseless tune
The Imill-stream fretting, foaming. churn-
ing
The mill-wheel FLASHING, droning, turning.
He saw her first, and her dear, dear lover,
AS far removed as the sun above her;
Much she worshipped, and little knew,
With raptures many and tears rev.
All. the change that his coming wrought her!
He found her merely a child at play
She was only the miller's daughter
Now 1t was time he should turn away
Time he should loose her tender hand,
Time she should tremble, and unders tand-
Would the soaring butterfly wing him down
To alight on the printed flowers of her gown?
"ShalI you remember the afternoons
We have lived" he said, "by the stream to-
gether,
When the sweetness as of hundred Junes
Seemed gathered up in the summer weather?
The day that it rained, and we chose to clam
And shelter ourselves in the great mill cham

She lifted eyes of innocent trouble
"Nay-how can forget ?' she said,
Not sound in the hush they heard,
Not a breath through the silence stirred.
But the hum of the mill-wheel never stop

And the play of the water, dropping, drop

All, the things that his touch had taught her
Like straws whirled by in the churning

In The Far East.

Extract from a Jerusalem letter of
Aug. Is, '86, written by Horatio G.
Spaford, formerly of Chicago, to an
acquaintance in that city:
We have had a delightful summer;
a cool west wind blowing nearly every
day. The activity in building con-
tinues and increases. The repairing
of the streets in side the walls goes on
rapidly. The wheat crop east OF the
Jordan has been very large. The
camel caravans coming in, laden with
it. are the largest We have ever seen.
The grapes are exceptionally good
There is, just at present, an extraor-
binary activity in military affairs in
this land. One or two classes of the
reserves have been called out and the
men are being hurried forward TO
Constantinople with an energy we
have never seen the like of here. Yes
terday a Turkish officer told US that
the last orders from Constantinople
were, receive no substitutes ormoneyed
equivalents as heretofore, hut to take
the men drafted, and nothing else.
AS yet no one seems to know with
certainty what is compelling all this.
They surmise that Turkey has learned
that Russia meditates an advance to-
ward the southeast corner If the
Black Sea. and that she will seek to
pursuade her co-religionists in Greece
to offensive operations simultaneously
on Turkeys southern frontier. All
we reliably learn is through English
papers; the utterances of the papers in
this land being under great restraint.
