HOW TO PLANT PEAS.

Ask any man who has been farm
ing tor the past 30 to so years how
to plant pea field, for instance
after wheat and oats, nine out of ten
will tell you to lay off the land about
three feet wide with scooter pillow,
drop the pea, cover with fork pillow.
Ask him why he plants this way
and he will say grandpa did SO. All
those who plant this way we'll know
that you will have to chop them out
or lose the crop. Now, my way of
planting is to take good one-horse
turn pillow, q use the Boss, as I pre-
fer it to any have ever used,) throw
out the dirt erch way to the middle,
which will make high ridge, this
is like any bedding, for the middles
tapping up the dirt and covering up
all weeds and grass, drop the peas
In water turrow, cover with double
stock.
After peas are up run around
with small scooter; after two or
three weeks break out middle with
scrape and scooter, which Brings
the dirt to level. This blowing
will lay by the peas, which makes
the crop to six or seven burrows.
No chopping required. I have been
pursuing this mode of planting. l
prefer it to all other ways l have
ever seen tried. Try one time to
be convinced that it is the best.
Last year l planted Is acres after
wheat and oats. Made fine crop,
and you could have not gotten your
hat full of crab grass in the whole
feld.-Southern Farm.

LUCK WITH POULTRY.

There are several people in New
Jersey who have what is called
great luck" with chickens, says the
American Agriculturist. Two Of
them, both women, have such differ
ent ways of managing, and such
similar results, that they are worth
comparing. Both make their poult-
ry pay them well, and have many
eggs at the time when housekeep-
ers and incubator owners will pay
high prices. One is capital little
woman living on a small place. She
raises fine Spangled Hamburgs and
sells them at capital prices. All the
food for her fowls must be bought,
but she supplies every need. Two
warm buildings and a meal of grain
those chickens have every day, be.
sides meat, oyster shells and cab
bages. She always tests the hatch
ing eggs, and such success has she
in raising the young stock that she
thinks it is her fault when a
Thoroughly Matched, strong, little
chicken dies. The other is the wife
OF farmer who from fifty hens gets
great baskets of eggs every week all
winter Her thrifty handsome
flock is is of all sizes and colors.
She gives her fowls no warm food,
no lime, no green food, and no meat
except when the ground is covered
with snow. They can always find
all the whole corn they want in the
barn. In the early morning she
gives them oats and wheat, both
whole, and warm water to drink,
These two ways have points in com
mon on examination. The first
henwite must give to her hens what
the others find for themselves. In
the rich plowed fields on the farm
are lime and insects, which, with
their myriads of eggs, furnish ami
NAL food in plenty. Hay and corn
stalks take the place of green food.
Both focks are kept in clean quart
ers, and with both there is careful
breeding. Every farmer is thought
Of Importance in one, and in the
other the owner breeds from the
''best hens and the largest cocks
In these two cases "great luck
means wise feeding and thoughtful
breeding.

EDUCATION PRO-
POSED.

1t has been announced through
the press that bill will be intro
duced at the summer session of the
legislature as the initial step to
compulsory education in Georgia.
We, OF course, know not the fea-
lures of the bill, but if the drift Of
it be to compel parents to send their
children to school, then this very
fact should be it's death warrant.
Such law can but be pregnant
with the spirit of Capitalization and
paternal government, the very spirit
that it behooves every lover Of lib
erty and freedom to fight with all
the pacific powers at his command.
Anything that carries upon its
very face strong proofs Of such CEN
tralization and such long stride to
paternity OF government is adverse
to the liberties and best interest of
American freemen and should be
strangled in its very incipiency.
We would be glad to see the day
when every boy and girl in Georgia,
of school age, will have access to
the educational fountain, but we are
not yet prepared to say to the faith
ers and mothers of our state through
the strong arm of the law "you
shall send your children to school,
whether you will it or not" The
passage of such a law would be pre-
sumption upon the part of our
Legislators and a public declaration
that the parents of Georgia are in
competent to foster their own
offspring. The proposition for such
a law is but the out-cropping of a
tendency to Capitalization in our
government, while such law, if
put in operation would work evil
results continually. 1t is unsafe,
unsound, undemocratic and heavy
strike at the grand principles of
magma charta, that underlie Ameri-
can freedom. When all other chan
nels to educational requirements
and progress in this country are
stopped then will be time enough
for such despotic measures on this
line.-Forsyth Advertiser.

A New York policeman found a
woman wandering near St. Mary's
hospital early the other morning.
She was clad only in her night dress
and was asleep. In pocket OF the
dress was found a note, that said she
resided on Park avenue, and reques-
ted any who found her in one of her
"bad spells" to take her home, as
she had a good doctor and good
home. The policeman went to the
address given and found that the
woman lived there with her hus-
band. She has startled the neigh
borhood several times by walking
about at night.

A Mrs. johnson was arraigned
before a court in Charlotte, N. c.,
the other day for bigamy, and it was
established that she had been mar
ried FIVE times, and that each one of
the FIVE unfortunate husbands was
living. Their names are johnson,
McCane, McElmore, Halton and
Ferguson, respectively. When the
woman was arrested she was about
to marry another man, named Nick
son. Mrs. Johnson's numerous nus.
bands think, doubtless, that mar.
riage is miserable failure.

Green manureing and use of arti-
fetal fertilizers must be resorted to
on large farms in order to keep up
the fertility of the soil. But few
farmers have enough stable manure
for spreading over a large surface,
and can, therefore, apply it on a
small area annually until the whole
farm is rotated with the manure.
By the turning under Of green crops
and the application of fertilizers not
only is the farm enriched, but much
valuable time is, by increasing the
area fertilized, saved in each year.

HOW TO DO TT AT HOME.
Latest Styles Of Ladies' Hardness
ing Contrasted with the Antique.

The style of dressing the hair has under
gone decided change this autumn, and
the high couture, which has lasted seven
years, is no longer seen. AS in the new
styles in dress, the manner of wearing
the hair has gone back. and old styles
laid away for more than half century, it
is predicted, will be revived. Side combs,
becoming to so few, more especially as a
very few are able to adjust them grace
tally, are being worn to considerable ex-
tent, and the old-fashioned puff combs,
which used to hold the little spindle curls
OF our great-grandmothers in position
about their faces, are displayed in some
OF the Embarrassing establishments. The
halr is dressed. without a doubt, in the
pialnest and most graceful way at pres
ent than has ever been done in the his
tory of women, and to go back centuries
past Tor styles in this respect would
hardly provide picturesque or becoming
fashion.
In the middle ages Frenchmen as well
as women were fond of adjoining their
hair and wore a coronet of flowers about
their heads, and later on fillets of silk
richly decorated with precious stones. At
this time the head gear of the women
was simply marvel A huge frame
work OF wire was covered with richly
embroidered silk and lace, after the high
peaked frame had been stuffed and pad
ded to make the costly coverings set out in
ridges and puffs. This was known as the
''couvrechef," but was greatly modified
and head dress quite simple Compared
to it became popular. Ii was al this
time that nets were used for the hair and
thin wells were attached to the head
dress in the back, reaching below the
shoulders.
False hair is by no means an invention
of recent date, and at the time when nets
were first used, the head dress SO copious
in height was an ample means to conceal
the large quantities of false hair, which in
turn hid the numerous padded nuffs
which III. more modern times were called
rats"
An Italian style of wearing the hair in
rolls burned back from the face. and sur-
mounted bysa jaunty little cap orna-
mented with Jewels and feathers. was nv
no means an ugly fashion, and was the
first decided modification of the immense
head dress. About the time of orr revn.
luton the fashion of dressing The hair
was carried to the greatest absnrditv and
fruit, vegetables, birds and butterflies
were used as ornaments.
IL even became the custom TO arrange
the hair PIN a manner illustrating some
scene. "A famous English Duchess
dressed her hair on an important oo-
custom In putfs so arranged as to repre-
sent parrot pecking at a cherry. a
negro boy and child ia its nurses arms.
One coihurb much worn at that time was
that Of sRlRn fully rugged vessel repre-
