BE SELF-SUSTAINING. Some sUggestions on Farming by a Practi cal Farmer. MADISoN, GA., January 1.-Editor Constitution: I read in your paper from time to time articles urging our Southern people to be self-sustaining on their farms--to raise corn, hay, grain and meat for their own con sumption and to sell, urging those who need to buy something to buy a home product. If it is a wagon he wants, buy one made in Georgia, or a buggy, or a plowstock, or anything which is made in Georgia. -Whenever and wherever he can buy thing made at home at even near the same price of a foreign made article to always give the preference to the home product. All of which is good advice, something that love of country would seem to instill in the heart of every true, thinking man-advice which I honestly believe is much more closely followed by the farmers of the State than by any other of its citiz_ns. Wit ness this in the manufactories of the State; they are prosperir,g to-day bet ter in proportion to their capital than the larger manufactories of Northern and Eastern States. Their market is local. They sell their product at home. They do not compete in the natural fields of the Northern and Eastern manufacturing ecmpanies. Their pa trons are the farmers of Georgia. Now how is it with anything the farmer has to sell? Suppose he has a lot of good fat beeves to sell, where has he any market for them? Unless he is a sharp, shrewd trader he will never realize half their value. There is no market standard by which he can sell his beeves according to what they are worth as in the Western States. Beeves are worth more in Chicago, where there are thousands and thou sands of them shipped every day, than they are here, where there is nothing like enough supply to meet the de mand. Cuicago beef, which has paid to the farmer who raised it, from 3 to 6 cents per pound for steers on foot, is sold here in the markets at about the same price as Georgia raised beef that paid tho Georgia farmer who raised it from 1 io 14 cents per pound. Why is this? Simply because the city man buys the beef from some poor country galoot who had only one cow to sell and drove it to town to the butcher, and had to take any price offered him rather than drive his cow back home. There was a marked market value to the Chicago beef which the butcher had to pay before he could get it. In the other case there was not, and he did not pay anything like what it was worth. It is the same way with hay. There. are thousands of tons of hay used in Atlanta yearly? How much of it is Georgia raised hay? It is useiess to say that there is a necessity for buying so much Western bay. There are thousands of tons of good Bermuda and clover hay in Georgia to-day that ,eould go to supply that demand, but they will not buy it. Why? They can give no valid reason. Our Con missioner of Agriculture and Professor White, of the State University, will tell them that Bermuda grass and clover hay make as nutritious feed as anything in the way of forage that a horse can eat. But it avails nothing against the prejudice that exists against anything raised by a Georgia farmer. Many a farmer has land that will' pay him more money in grass than in any other product, but he is afriid to try it because of not being able to sell it. I know whereof I speak, on this line, because I have been there myself. I have had as finehay as I ever saw; nice, bright, fragrant Bermuda grass, with red clover mixed in it, that I have tried to sell in years past in At lanta and have been met with the answer from merchants who handle hay and other like produce, that they would not pay 25 cents for Georgia hay when Timothy was selling at $1 a hundredweight. I have at times sold a great deal of such hay to a local - trade, where it had been tried and demonstrated that stock, even the daintiest, best kept horses, would eat it as readily as anything put before them. Now, Mr. Editor, it just struck my mind that while you were urging the people of the grand old State of Geor gia. to be self-sustaining and support ing, let that advice apply to all alike. I believe the farmer comes much near er carrying out the doctrine than his brother in the city. Urge the city brother to buy whatever he needs from the Georgia farmer. Help him to build up a market for wvhat he can raise to sell besides cotton. He is working mighty hard to withstand the odds against him. The city bro ther can't get along without him. He don't ask anybody to give him any thing. He will work for it. He don't expect literal "free silver." He is will ing to have something to sell in order to get- a few silver dollars to jinogle in his pockets as his "silver bells" with which to ring out the old year and ring in the new. Your paper is a "power in the land." Preach somneon this line and try to make your people in At lanta, all over this State and this broad Southland, realize that the farmer w ill prosper better if they will buy his product instead:of sending to thbe West for what he can sell. Buy his hay, in stead of Western hay; his beeves, in stead of Chicago beef; his hogs, instead of Western hogs. You made notice a few days ago of a farmer down about Anmericus sendiwg a caaload of hogs to Chicago, and spoke of it as a laudable thing to do. It was all right for the farmer to do if he real ised more money from his hogs than he could get in Georgia, but I don't There's a Diference in ,Size between Dr. Pierce's Pel lets and every other pill. "t The' Pellets are smaller. . And this difference in size, with their sugar-coating makes them ' the e.asiest to take. But there's a difference all throug. he'r easiest in the way they act. No griping, no violence, no reac tion afterward. They ~do permanent good. They regulate the system, as wvell as cleanse and renovate it. Sick or Bilious Headache, Constipa-. tion, Indigestion, Bil ious Attacks, and all derangements of the liver, stomach, and bowels are prevented, relieved, and cured. Put up in sealed vials, always fresh and reliable; a perfect vest-pocket remedy. The~y're guaraneteed to give satis faction, in every case, or the money is returned. . What offer. could be more fair? ()NE of two things has to happen. You're cured of Catarrb, or you're paid $500 cash. That's what is- promised by the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. By its mild, sooflhing, cleansing, and heal ing properties, it cures the worst think it speaks well for Georgia. ee buys thousands of dollars worth of meat from Chicago, yet she would not buy that man's hogs! That is a fair sample of the spirit which I am trying to show up. It is a lack of State pride. Everybody, it seems to me, ought to want to see their own Srate on top. Every Georgian ought to want to see Georgia self-supporting-tbat means at Ithe to , of the ladder. The only way to be seif-supporting is for us all to work together and make it a matter of principle not to buy anything, from a pin up, that is made outside of our State, when the same thing, or some thing that will answer the purpose equally as well can be had that is made within our borders. Iu this year of 1894 there ought not to be auything used by anybody in the State of Georgia that was made, raised or manufactured outside of the State until the capacity of the State was ex hausted in that article. If for two years -we would strictly follo . this as a prin cip'-; continue the economical, self sustaining policy which has been large ly developed in the past two years, we wouitbe out of the reach of bard times, and might be in danger of having our spendiug money seriously reduced by 'the "income tax" to be levied on in comes exceeding" a million a year." I am like Colonel Sellers-''"Tbere are millions in it" if we will only try. I am a young man with happy sur roundings and a fair prospect ahead of me. I was raised in Madison and vol untarily chose the profession of farm ing. I married a city girl and we went to the country to live just twelve years ago. To-night I am sitting up to greet the new year. My wife and children are all asleep, and thinking in a retro spective way of what I have left be hind. It forms for me an experience from which I have learned much that will prove useful in the future. I was reared with the idea, instilled into my mind that I must be a farmer; that it was the aim and ambition of my father that I should take his place when he was gone, and live in his house-the one he had built when he settled the place whereon I now reside, in the year 1817. That idea was so tboroughly-instilled into my mind that I felt it would be almost a sacrilege should I disregard his wishes so often spoken to me. Thus my destiny was fixed, and at his death, which occurred in 1880, I took his place on a place of 600 acres of land, which he left me. Looking back now, over these twelve years, I have lived a life as hapyy as mortal need to be, and the comparison of what life has been to me with what I see of it in men engaged in other bus iness pursuits, makes me wonder that so many of the best men of the coun try will not live on their farms where they can be self-supporting, free and independent, and where the amount of happiness a man may enjoy simply depends on what he is ca.able of en joying. I have lived comfortably and well, have not stinted myself or my family in anything; have had the pleasure of being with them all the time, enjoying their society and trying to train my children as best I know how. I have added three-fold to the possessions that my father left me and am well satisfied with my position, even in these hard times. Now. Mr. Editor, I hope you will pardon the above personal allusions. They are not made with any spirit of braggadocia, but with the hope that if you publish this letter it may lead some man who is hesitating in his course as to what to do for another year to at least stop and think and ponder well what he is leaving when he leaves the country to go to town. The lack of white men, land owners, living on their farms is the the grea est trouble with Georgia to-day. Farmers who love to sit around a store and talk themselves, make as an excuse that they must move to town to educate their children. It is merely an excuse, there is no reason in it. When a man leaves his farm, he can do nothing with it but rent it out for so much cot ton and eorn. He cannot raise hogs, cows, goats or anything else of that sort. Those things in themselves will make him enough money by staying on the farm and looking after them 10 hire a teacher antd pay the whole sal ary himself; or his house rent in town will pay a teacher for eight or nine months time. He can better afford to hire a teacher and pay $200 a year out of his own pocket than he can afford to leave an eight or ten-mule farm and rent it out and move to town to edu ate his children. It's all bosh! In almost any community in Georgia, if some one wan will go and employ a good teacher and guarantee the salary -$20), $25 or $30 per month-there therewill be enough scholars to come in to reduce the amount he will actually have to pay to a very small amount. I am anxious to see good, sensible men go back to their farms, quit the crowd ed, overrun towns and go back where they can be free and independent and easy. Where they can get up with the sun, feeling fresh and invigorated, buoyant and full of life as in their boy hood days. There is a field of good work to be done by you, Mr. Editor. You know what 1 say is true. Take any county in the State and what proportion of t he land is occupied by the landowner? Urge upon the young men to stay on the farm. Give them facts and figures. Bring it home to them that their best interest remains in their land and in living upon it; that the percentage of successful men in the towns is very much srmal:er than the percentage of succesful men o,f like ab'ility in the country, and the success which you may attain in forcing conviction to their mind(s on this point will redound to your credit in making a grander citizenry of thbe grandest State on earthb. R:spectfully, P. G. W ALK ER. Some Good Points Good advice, -when given by wholesale. is likely to be somewhat heavy for diges tion, but so much good sense is packed into the following paragraphs from Good Housekeeping that they are well worth reading. If remembered and practiced, these precepts would brighten all our homes:. Remember that a servant is a man or woman, and will appreciate treatment as A compliment, to be appreciated by any sensible person, must be prompted by sinceritv. Neve'r urge another to do anything against|his desire, unless.,there is danger before him. Never enter an apartment occupied by another person, except the common rooms of a dwelling, without knocking. Do not constantly refer to experiences or honorable positions which may have been enjoyed. Always give preference to elders, visi tors, those of superior position, and those who are weak or ill. D)o not forget a kind word to each mem ber of the family on parting at night or a pleasant greeting on meeting in the mornng. Do not deprecate the gift which you give, nor land immoderately that which is received. In each case it is the senti ment which prompts the offering. and that is vastly more precious than what is offered. A gentleman never indulges in winks or gimaceswhen talkingwihaoer A Disadvantage.

Noteworthy Changes in Laws. [Public Ledger.] John Randolph Tucker, president of the American Bar Association, in his snnual address before that body this year, gave an interesting resume of noteworthy changes in the laws of the several States which have taken place this year. Some of the new laws are curious, and bare much public inter est. From President Tucker's resume it appears that the Australian ballot law, or a modification of it, has now been adopted in thirty-six States. Three States have passed laws requiring voters to possess moral and educational qualifications. Idaho prevents poly gamists from voting, and in Maine and Massachusetts the voter must be able to read the State constitution in the English language,write his name, and not be "a pauper or under guardian ;hip." Mississippi, before the present year, bad placed an educational test for suf rage in its constitution. Another class )f enactments has been passed by sev ~ral States to protect the ballot and ecure political independence. In Wyo ning it has been made a crime to dis harge an employe because he has been toinated for an office. California has ade it penal .to enclose wages in pay ~nvelopes on which any political argu nents or the names of party candidates are printed. Mi3bigan has a unique law, auth or ing the courts to send one convicted f drunkenness to a gold cure institu ion for treatment at public expense, nstead of to jail. Another liquor law, hat of Arizona, indirebtly permits the I, sale of intoxicants to minors in a new nactment, which makes it an offence r sell liquor to minors "without the onsent of parents and guardians," but inors must be excluded from the ~aloo ns. There has been considerable legisla ion in regard to truancy and comptul iory education, and prohibiting the ~mployment of children who have not bad schooling. Rhode Island and inesota have been added to the list f States whi -h furuish free school oks. Illinois has made a concession o public sentiment against the unne iessary exhibition of prisoners by requiring police patrol wagons to be ~overed. New Jersey has earned the istinctiou of being the only State hich has during the year made race :rack gambling law ful. Massachusetts ias enabled towns to provide public ~laygrou ndsa. Rhode Island is among the States which have shown a disposition to osen the marriage tie in a law whieh tuthorizes the courts to grant an abso ute divoire wheac the parties have ived separately by mutual consent for t least ten years. Colorado allows ivorces where either of the parties has ee an habit ual dIruokard for one year. Vhere changes in the lawts have b,een nade the tendency has been toward lreater laxity in granting divorces. Praise Your Wife. A sunshiny husband makes a merry, ,eautiful home, worth having, worth orking for. If a main is breezy, cheery, >onsiderate, and sympathetic. his wife ings in her heart over h-r puddings, and nending basket, counts the hours till he eturns at night, and renews her youth a the security she feels of- his approba ion and admiration. You may think it yak or childish, if you please, but it is he admired wife, who hears words of iraise, and receives saiiles of commenda ion, who is capable, discreet and execu ive. I have seen a timid, meek, self-dis rusting little body fairly bloom into ;rong, self-reliant womanhood under the :onic and the cordlial of companionship with a husband who really went out of is way to. find occasion for showing her aow fully be trusted her judgment, and aow tenderly he deferred to her opinion. In home life there should be no jar, no ~triving for place, on insisting on prero ~atives or division of interest. The hus ad end the wife are each the comple isent of the other. And it is just as much his duty to he cheerful as it is hers >o be patient; his right to bring joy into he door as it is hers to garnish the pleas t interior.

C. \Vintlirop, in :-erilbuer's Magu zine.] I may say at the outset that Web ster had none of the tricks or arts of rhetoric. He never studied gesticula tion, and did not use ni'ch of it. There was a pose about him wben be rose to speak, like that incomparable statue of Demo,thenes in the Vatican, or like that of Paul on Mars Hiill in the cele brated cartoon of Rnphael. His grand presence and noble voice 1 endered everything be said impretsive. But his tloqueuce lixd nothing of the florid sr.t. It was the elequence of clear, cogent argurment, e'nt of ':ea sioual deep emotion, expressed in pure, forcible Saxon words - souctiles adorned by most felicitous quotations. sometimes by riagnificent and match less metaphors. In almost all these respects, he was very unlike Everett, and still more unlike Choate. Of Edward Everett's eloquence consummate of its kind-delivery, (e- ? scriptioi, narration andl illustration, historical incilent and classical allu sions were the most notable and note worthy features. "It is hardly too much to say of him"-if I may borrow from my own tribute to him at Fane uil hall a day or two after his death "it is hardly too much to say of him that he established a new standard of American eloquence; that he was the founder of a new school of occasional oratory, of which he was once the ac knowledged naster and the best pupil, and in which we were all proud to sit at his feet as disciples.". Delivering his principal oration avowedly froin mem ory, every sentence and every gesture were studied to produce the most strik ing eflect. And they did produce it. He was as dramatic at times as Kean or Macready, and his audiences hung with rapture on his lips. Rufus Choate, on the other hand, was all impetuosity-pouring out tor rents of exquisite thought and brilliant language in utter disregard of the length of his sentence or the vehemence of his gesticulation. One migh' say of him, as Cicero said of Scaveola, "..uris peritorum eloquentissimus, eloquen tium jnrisperitissimus." He was cer tainly the most eloquent of our jurists and the greatest jurist of our orators. Many Persons are broken down from overwork or household cares.
