A Good Farmer

Mr. Wm. Barrow, living near Delta, is not only one of Macon counties best 
citizens, but a successful merchant and one of the best farmers in Georgia.  He 
has at least one thousand bushels of corn in his crib and bacon in proportion 
to corn in his smokehouse.  He is one of the few farmers in Georgia who plants 
but little cotton, but makes a specialty of corn, wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, 
etc.; and just here lies his success, as everyone who is acquainted with Mr. 
Barrow knows this to be true.  A gentleman from Butler who recently visited the 
home of Mr. Barrow states that his grain crop, especially his oats are fine; in 
fact, the best he has seen at this season of the year.  Mr. Barrow informed our 
friend that he had a cow that is now giving 19 quarts of milk at each milking 
or 38 quarts per day.  This is also vouched by Mrs. Barrow who attends strictly 
to the dairy, and from the proceeds of this cow alone she realizes enough to 
purchase most of the necessities for her family.  We wish our whole country was 
full of just such farmers as Mr. Barrow.
