From the Southern Cultivator.
HAY MAKING IN THE SOUTH.

4 Brief Essay, read before the "Beach Island Far
mers' Club," at the October Meeting.
GENTLEMEN AS it is expected that each
member of this Club shall make report of
some experiment, I take this opportunity to
present the following, on Hay making:
About the first of May, I had ten acre lot
of good river.bottom land plowed up, with
double plows, from 8 to 10 inches deep; the
land was then we'll narrowed with good two
horse iron-tooth harrow, across the plowipg,
aud then rolled with a cast iron two-horse
roller, in order to make the surface as smooth
as possible. The land was soon covered with
crab.erass. In consequence of the hot dry
weather, had almost dcspaired of realizing
a crop; but after the heavy rain which fell
about the lst of September, it revived and
grew off rapidly, and continued to improve
until the latter part of September, when it
was from two to three feet high, at which
time cut it with scythes. The plan adop-
ted for curing was, to have what was cut in
the morning turned over and stacked up a.
bout four or FIVE hours after it was cut, and
that part of it that had from four to six hours
sun on it was then put into common size
shocks, and remained until the next day a
bout ten o'clock, or until the dew was en-
tirely off, at which time they were again
opened and the hay again spread, and re-
mained so until evening, when it was put
into shocks again, and remained so until the
dew was off the next day, when. they were
opened and spread as above stated in the
afternoon, such as was sufficiently cured l
had packed in the barn.
7 measured one acre and obtained from
that 1876 lbs. of we'll cured hay, which l
sold for IS cents per cwt. in Augusta; it was
weighed at the City Scales, and at that low
price amounted to S57 Sc. At 81 per hum
dred, the amount would have been s76 IS;
at s1,25 per hundred, sll5 IL These
prices are not unfrequently paid for an arti-
Gle in no way superior. I think there were
three or four acres in the lot as good as the
one I measured the balance not more than
two.thirds as good. At the rate sold, the
whole lot would amount to S460; and OF
course still higher at increased rates, as
shown above.
would simply call the attention Of the
members to the fact that if this crop had been
made under favorable seasons, and if sold at
the average price that Northern hay com
mands in Augusta, which is about 81 oo, 1t
would amount to 1920, or s92 per acre.
My impression is that two crops may be
taken from the same land by commencing
earlier in the season, and there is no crop
more profitable with the same amount OF labor
Ali of which is respectfully submitted:

PRACTICAL SERMON.

Colored ministers often excel in those
qualities in which many of their white breth-
rem are de6cient--pungency and directness.
The following sketch Of sermon, for whose
accuracy the editor Of an exchange gives his
personal voucher, is a good illustration of
these important qualities
Dropping into an African Westinghouse
in the outskirts of the city, we found the
sermon Just commenced The topic seemed
to be depravity of the human heart, and the
sable divine thus illustrated his argument:
"Bredren, when I was in Virginia, one
day de ole woman's kitchen table got broke,
an was sent into de woods to cut tree to
make new leaf for it. So took de axe on
de shoulder and I wander into the depth Of
the forest.
"All nature was as beautiful as lady 60
ing to de wedding. The leaves glistened
on the maple trees like new quarter dollars
in de missionary box, de sun shone brilliant,
and nature looked as gay as buck rabbit IN
parsely garden, and de little bell around
the sleeps neck tinkled softly and musical
ly in de distance.
~ spied tree suitable for de purpose,
and I raised de axe to cut into de trunk
1t was beautiful tree De branches reach
ed to de four corners of the earth, and rise
up so high in de air above, and he squir'ls
hop about in de limbs like little angels flop
ping their wings in the kingdom of heaven
Dat tree was full OBJ promise, just like great
many OBJ you.
"Deu I cut into de trunk and make de
chips fly like de mighty seals dropping from
Pauls eyes. Two, three cut l COVE de tree,
and alas, it was holler in de butt!
"Dat tree was much like you my friends
full of promise outside, but holler in de
butt %
The groans from the amen corner of the
room were truly contrite and affecting; but
we will venture small wager that was the
most practical sermon preached in the city,
on that day at least.

RINTERS,

RINTERs.
Among the ra..ks of human kind,
Some 60 before, and some behind,
But mind them well and you will find,
Not hindmost is the Printer.
The lessons which you learned at school,
That you might not grow up fool,
Had all in scientific rule,
Been published by the Printer.
How do your President and Kings
Govern so many thousand things!
IT'S by the types, the screws and springs,
Belonging to the Printer.
The farmer and mechanic too,
Would sometimes scarce know what to DO,
Could they not get o certain view
OF fwork done by the Printer.
The docto cannot meet the crooks
OF all the cases, till he looks
Upon the pages of the books
Supplied him by the Printer.
The lawyer for q wit has passed,
But high as he his head may cast,
He would be but Ounce at last,
We're it not for the Printer:
Who is it that so neatly tells
The various goods the merchant sells,
Inviting all the beau1 and bellies!
Who is it but the Printer?
The classes of the human race,
OF different size, of different face,
Appears in this and every place,
How obvious to the Printer.
One sings the bass, one sharps and flats,
Bedecked with pantaloons and felt hats,
And long-tailed coats and smooth cravats,
Of this class is the Printer.
The other sings treble sweet
Adorned with frocks and bonuets neat,
And look! how beauteous and complete,
And lovely to the Printer.
IT'S Hymen's will, of course you know,
These classes should in couples 60,
And since the world will have it 80,
$50 be it," says the Printer.
There's not man below the skies
Who better understands to prize
The charms that grace lady's eyes,
Than does this very Printer.
Young maidens then, without debate,
IT'S hoped you'll duly estimate,
Before, in fact, it is too late,
The value of the Printer.

RICHMOND, VA.
DEFORE the close of the present month, the
I'D subscriber will issue the first number of q
newspaper which lie proposes to publish in Daily
and Semi weekly editions, and which he intends
to devote to the service of the South, the interests
of the State, and to the support of the principles
of the Democratic Party. But the paper will not
be so exclusively political, that its columns will
only interest the politician: nor so subservlent to
party as to spare the misconduct Of bad men to
betray principle for the sake of power, or to des-
pise its convictions the suggestion of expedcncy
l shall endeavor to commend it to intelligent
persons of all classes, by diligence in the collec-
ton of news, by mparting something of agricul-
tural, commercial and literary interest to its col
umns, and by vcnturng IN outspoken and emphat-
ic opinion on the topics of the day, no matter what
the hazard Of conflict with prejudice OF of offence
to the self,appointcd feeders of party. The organ
of no CLIQUE, in the interest of no faction, and
with no partial purpose to serve, the paper will
address itself to the honest judgment Of the peo-
pie, and for support will rely upon the apprecia-
ton of energy and enterprise, and their love Of
plain talk and independent opinion. There may
be particular individuals to whom this sort Of dis
cussion will not be very acceptable but if can
conciliate The favor of the masses, | may survive
the opposition of ignorant or interested critics.
No doubt servilc spirits will be shocked at my zeal
in the defence Of the South; still have the con-
solatory assurance that there are plenty of brave
and true men in Virginia, upon whose sympathy
and support Imay rely with absolute security
And so believing, embark upon the enterprise,
with no miSgising as to the result.
1.-THE SOUTH will be of equal size with the
leading papers of the city; and will be furnished
to subscribers at the following rates: Daily seven
dollars q year, Semi-weckly five dOllars-paya6ls
