A FEW FRIENDS
A ftsw friends,, to traval with ns
Up and down th? path of life, 1
OiTo a seat to each enjoyment, _ _ I
lMuck the sling from toil and strife; |
And if rugged be the pathway? ,
As it will sometimes, 1 ween, J
Friendly hands tuay point to beauties ?
Which alone we had not seen.
A few friends, to gather with us
Kound the sacred tires of home,
With sweet music, hooks and converse
All the world outside may glontu 1
Just a few, and not the rnauy?
Lest simplicity depatt,
And formality and fashion
Takes tho place of brain and heart.
A few friends, In time of trouble,
When the soul is bruised and crossed,Like
n shin nn ?
, w.?. M.J
Crippled, lashed nml tempest-tossed ;
Then, when helpless and forsaken,
l>o we prize the precious few,
Thnt will guide us into lmvcu
And slill keep our bark in view.
A few friends, beyond the river
Waiting?oti the further shore,
Make us long to reach the harbor
Of the dear ones gone before ;
And we strive for nobler virtues,
.Scatter seeds of truth nnd lovo.
Knowing that they watch and beckon,
From the sinless realms above.

A Lai?y Buried Twice and Finai.lt Brought
to Life.?A woman in Snicartc, Mason county,
111., to all appenrnncc died. But a few weeks previous
to this she had given birth to a child, and
and was apparently well, with lite exception of
a nursing sore mouth, from the effects of which
she had grown quite weal: ; so much so that her
husband thought it was necessary to call in a
physician, bu* she objected, insisting upon waiting
a few days longer, thinking she should
manage the affection without tho aid of a physician.
She soon afterwards very suddenly
sank away, nnd to all appearances gave up the
ghost. The body was kept till the next day
about 2 P. M., when it was enclosed in a coffin
nnd taken lo the graveyard, followed by a great
many mournful friends. In laying her out Iter
arms were tied together above the elbows with a
strip of cloth, so that liet hands would retain a
position across her breast. At the grave some of
iter friends wished to view licr remains and the
coffin was opened that tlicy might do so. On
reopening tho lid over the glass tliey could not
sec through the moisture on it, nnd it was then
seen that one of her hands had been torn loose
from the band and her arms were as limber as
of one alive. The circumstances bore upon (lie
minds of several present, but still they could
not entertain any notion but that she was
dead. Her bands were ngain placed in position
across Iter breast, and with the same
of cloth, and she was buried. After returning
lo their homes several of the parlies who had
noticed the singular appearance of tlie corpse
W.....IVOVVU (u iniiv ii uver, una nicy soon raised
a doubt in their minds that she was not dead.?
About 5 o'clock that same evening several went
to the grave and took the body up. On opening
the cofhn they found fresh nioisturcon the glass
of tbo coflin lid, and her hands were again broken
from the strip of cloth that bound them,
and they were both lying by her side, and, instead
of her limbs being in the least rigid, they
and her lingers were flexible. Notwithstanding
nil this they could not convince themselves but
that she was dead, and she was rcburicd. The
matter was generally discussed in the neighborhood,
and by the following Sunday the excitement
had grown so intense that it was decided
to re-exhume her the following day. The next
day, Monday, after she had slept beneath the
sod for four days and nights, she was again
resurrected and taken to her home, where she
has been slowly but gradually improving. Her
friends entertain the strongest hopes of her recovery,
which, tf sho does, will be a remarkable
occurrence long to bo remembered by the peoplo
of Snicartc. The way in which this affair
was managed was, to say the least, very singu- ,

The Boy who was Left.?At n lato 1
hour Friday uight the police (bund a boy
about 10 years old sitting on the steps of
the city hall, and when he had beeu stirred '
up he explained : <
"My name's Joiiny Stewart, and I live
near Grass Lake. The folks went home last (
night and left me on the fair grounds with- !
out a cent. That's the sort of tnau dad is.
If we don't keep tight to his heels all the j
time he'll leave us in a strange town dead
broke." j
"And now what will you do ?"
"I'll make the old man sick.
"IIow ?"
"Never you mind. I've got a plan laid to
fix him fur g >ing back on me."
lie walked down to the central station
and slept in an arm-chair the rest of the J
night. At an early hour in the morning he
walked into the American c*nroao
, ....u |
asked : "Do you run to Grass Lake
Yes."
"Then ship me there C. 0. D." '
After a few inquiries lie wis accepted and '
duly tagged, and when the wagons went '
down he was among tho parcels to carefully
handled. To an inquirer at tho depot he
answered :
"Dud is counted the sharpest man in our 1
county on a hor9o trade, but I guess he
isn't a great ways ahead of ujc ou this transaction

Cotton and Corn.?Tho Agricultural
Department of Georgia has been questioning
the planters of that State aud obtaining
their answers with reference to tho best
fertilizers for eottou and corn. In t o report
of the department for 18S0 a dish of
valuable information, gathered in this way,
is set before tho public, the orcuui of which
may be skimmed oil about us follows:
Tho mass of Goorgia farmers, uccording
to this report, favor the employment of conpost
in which stablo manure And cotton
seed figure, both with or without commercial
fertilizers. There is also a very general
expression in favor of commercial guabos
nud other fertilizers
Mr. W. A. Spoer, of Uenry County, who
cultivates soil red nud thirsty, with good
clay subsoil, gives his preference to compost
011 account of its being more durable,
aud not impoverishing the land as do, in
his opinion, most commercial guanos when
applied alone. lie composts after tho following
formula: 750 pounds leaf mould,
500 pounds cotton seed, 400 pounds stable
manure, 300 pounds commercial guano, 50
pouuds salt, applied at the rate of G50
pounds per acre on cotton.
Mr. J. M. Dill, Lincoln County, believes
that commercial fertilizers, applied economically,
will pay, but that a compost of stable
manure and cotton seed with a good
r*f>irl nKnc r\Knfn in ~L ? 4 P ?
..wv. |/M</e|?Hu%v io VIIU ut'av (iiiu uia\ipC5l icr^
tilizcr that can bo used.
Mr. E. S. Wellous, Houston Oonnty,
thinks that good guano uniformly pays;
he also favors acid phosphate composed with
stablu manuro and cotton seed. His soil is
gray and rather sandy, with a good red clay
subsoil.
M. J. T. Dennis, Putnam County, say3
that guano has paid hiui every year, but
not so much during 1880 as usual, on account
of the excessive drought followed by
too much rain, lie uses compost mostly ou
his cottou, and thicks it pays better than
gunno.
Mr. E. 11. Heard, Eibert County, after
using commercial fertilizers for a number of
years, says that under no circumstances
would ho attempt to raiso a cottou crop
without them ; solid, dark, porous uplaud,
with stiff clay subsoil.
Mr. W. 11. Ellison, Talbot County, whose
experience has been with dark mulatto soil,
having a clay subsoil, says that no fertilizer,
oither commercial or domestic, pays so well
on corn or small giaiu as compost. All
high grade guanos pay ou bis land wheu
well broken and the seasons arc favorable,
but best on lands abounding in vegetable
matter.
Mr. Johnson, Bibb County, who works
sandy lonui land well supplied with humus
and having a compact red clay subsoil,
thinks that commercial fertilizers do nut
pay more than a small pcrccut. on the capital,
in a series of years. Not so with composts,
from which he has uovcr kuowu loss
to occur.
Mr. M. It. llussell, Carroll County, who
has been using commercial fertilizers for
many years?soil stiff?is satisfied that they
;p J
ji.ij it juuiuiuumjr useu. 1116 piUll 16 to
apply about two hundred p muds per acre,
very deep, running off tho rows with a
scooter plough, following in the sauie furrow
with a long, straight steel shovel. He
puts the guano iu that furrow and runs two
first-listing furrows with three-inch scooter,
following with two furrows of turn plough
to finish the beds. When plautbra can get
enough of it, Mr. Russell thinks the best
fertilizers for either cotton or corn is a good
compost of stable manure and cotton seed,
mixed in equal quantities aud penned up
dry for six weeks.
Mr. J. T. Lindlcy, Cobb County, considers
a compost made from stable, cotton seed
and souie good dissolved bone an admirable
fertilizer.
Mr. It. W. Everett, Polk County, about
the middle of February each ycir composts
stable manure and cotton seed, using equal
quantities of each in alternate layers. lie
applies this compost without any commercial
ingredient to his cotton, just as he would
;uano, only using more to the acre. lie
makes this go as fur as it will, aud then
inishes out with commercial manure. His
compost induces better yields thao docs auy
;uano ho ever used.
Commissioner J. T. Henderson, in the
circular recently issued, advises Georgia
farmers who arc testing commercial fertilisers
uot to buy any fertilizer or chemical
lur compounding, unless it ha? both the
Manufacturer's guaranteed analysis and the
inspector's tag attached. Farmers arc also
informed, after a crop is made, if there is
reason to believe that the fertilizers employid
were not as rcprcsluted to he, that samples
forwarded to the department at Atlanta
ivill bo aualyzed without chargo.
POSTAL BEOULATIONS.

have recently been seriously injured whil

? ?-?.
Small Farms.?A writer who semis t
nave given the subject much thought, say
many farmers have nn idea that the rcaso
why they arc uot much more successful ii
their business is because they own ou!y ter
small farms. They think that if they hai
three or four times as much land as the
uow have their profits would be largely in
| creased. Probably ninety-nine of thos
men make a serious mistake, where there i
one who is correct in his conclusious. The
have land enough already. Many of then
have a great deal too much, for they rui
over the whole of it and get small erap:
while if they had less, they would cultivati
it better and obtain larger returns. It i
not the number of ncrc3, but tho mautto
iu which they arc tilled, which tells on th:
profit and loss account. Some farmers ob
tain a larger income and n larger proG
from thirty than others do from seventy
five acres of equally good land. It seem
to bo one of the greatest mistakes of Amor
iean farmers that they arc continually striv
ing to get more acres under their contro
and paying too little attcntiou t.o the thor
ough tillage of the land they already own
The more they have tho uioro they wan I
and the less careful they arc to cultivate i
well. They do not increase their facilitic
for making rr obtaining fertilizers as fast u
they enlarge the area of their farms.
Many a man would be better off ten yean
hence if he would now sell one-third or evci
one-half of his land and use the morie;
thus obtained for the payment of his debts
or iu the improvement of what laud rcuiaiued,
than he will be to drag along will
tue whole. He has not capital enough ti
carry on his business in a profitable manner
lie cannot make uccdcd improvements be
cause he has not the moans with which t<
pay for them. His money is locked up ii
land which he has not capital enough t<
properly manage. He cannot pay cash
and for everything which he buys bo i:
charged from ten to twenty per cent, to*
much, and is constantly harassed with debp
and business perplexities. He would b*
much more happy and prosperous with low
land t nd freedom from these nnuoyauccs.?
Thirty or forty acres, besides a wood lot, i
properly managed, would return u large
net profit than the average of tho larg*
farms which aro now so common. An*
these small farms could bo mauaged by th
owner and one or two ol his sous, or a hire*
man, and thus much of thu perplexity an*
trouble of having hired help would b
avoided. It would make less work in th
house, and not only promote the happincs
and prosperity of the farmer, but also bo
benefit to his wife and family.
