Southern Fruit Raising.

There is no branch of domestic econo-
my more neglected at the South, than the
culture of fruit. 1t is true, there is an
awakened spirit among the few, but as
yet, not among the masses. The grape
is exciting a universal interest, as much
for the desert as for wine. There arc
nurseries, and extensive fruit orchards
springing up in the vicinity of our com
mcrcial towns, which are credit to the
country, and Il source'of profit to the pro-
prietors But this is not all the country
needs. Every proprietor in the country
every owner of a half acre lot, owes
to himself, his children and his country,
to plant fruit trees. Land holders of the
South! cancel the acbt you. owe to- pos
tcrity this present fall. You should plant
this fall at least one million fruit trees.
The large planter should plant the apple,
pear, peach, grape, and fg, not only for
his white family, but for his negroes.
Ripe fruit, in its season, is cheaper and
healthier than bacon. Even the small
proprietor may have fruit trees enough to
save much of the expense of living. Say
pot that your soil does not suit the apple,
pear, peach or grape, for on small scale,
YOU may make sell to suit any of them'
This is the great advantage you have over
those who never read. You may all
grow peaches as well as Moses, or cher
1ics as we'll as Pctefs, or Strawberries as
well as Peabody. or grapes as we'll as
Axt, if you will but study how to do it.
The smallest farmer among you thinks it
no labor lost, or time misspent, to study
how he may best tatten his pig. He does
not think of building pen for his pig,
and then feeding him on shucks and wa
ter, but he studies out and experiments
with that food which will produce th'
greatest amount Of pork. Now, if VI
will divest ourselves of the erroneous
ilea that fruit is but an article of luxur',
and not Of food, and look at in the trle
light in which God designed it, VIC sh:ll
find it as much to our interest to stuly
what will feed u fruit tree as what will
feed hog There can be no excuse for
any family being without fruit. Th,re
;re reliable nurseries all around us. The
-''s e"d grape grow so rapidly from the
cuttings, and the apple aud peach from
lie seeds, that any family, no matter how
poor, may have an orchard.
Our mission is, to encourage the pro
duction of good fruit among the masses,
and when we see every householder in
the land sitting under his own vine and
Zig tree, We shall feel that we have accom-.
plished our mission.

What CONSTITUTES a good Farmer.


Our friend and correspondent, &. d.
Harmon, thus asks and answers this inl
portant question, in late number Of the
Cotton Planter:
If the Disposer Of human events SHOULD
permit this world to stand thousand
years longer, the time will surely come
when every man who tills the earth will
be compelled to be good farmer OF
slarre to death. This is strong EXPIRES
sion, but as true as it is strong. Old
togyism may continue to denounce those
who labor to improve the agriculture of
the South; but the time will come when
their posterity will see their stupid folly,
and be forced to improve the soil which
their ancestors butchered. The day has
already come with England, France, Ger
many and Ireland, where agriculturists
are compelled from true necessity to stu
dy their profession, and improve their
systems Of farming economy, to an extent
limited only by their power to do SO. If
they were to pursue the course thu the
planters of the South are now pursuing,
in less than twenty years they would
either starve to death, or be forced to
leave ;;their own, their native land
But the question arises, what is Il "good
farmer?" Their is much diversity of
opinion on this question. Sometimes the
men who run over the most land per hand,
and drag out of the soil the most money,
regardless of the wear and tear of land:
and team and force, are called good far
mers, yea, the best farmers. But is that
true? | admit it not. 10 dc , would
be equivalent to admitting that the doctor
who made the most money, regardless Of
the lives he destroyed, was the best doc
tor. The one would be about as true as
the other-both are utterly false.
A "good farmer" according to the
best and most intelligent agricuturists of
the South, is the man who impropes his
stock and takes care of his force. And
think this definition of the term is correct.
No man, however intelligent on other
subjects, no mater how much money he
may be making for tile time being, should
be considered a "good farmer" in the
strictest sense of that term, who grossly
neglects the improvement of his soil and
force and stock No man who cultivates
the hills and permits his fields to wash
into yawning gullies, and turns them out
for his children to reclaim, at the cost of
much labor and expense, or leave their
old homes, or starve. is to any extent,
whatever, Il good farmer. No Man who
denounccs agricultural improvement, and
agricultural journals, totes corn in one
end Of his sack, and rock in the other
end to balance it because his "daddy"
done it, can possibly be good farmer"

DEPTH TO Sow TunSIp SEaD.--.t cor
respondent Of the Boston CnlHrntor says {:
Il would say from one half to li!rcc-
forulhs of an inch, lave found to be the
depth best adapted to the turIip. My
method Of preventing the fly, which is all
that troubles my plants, is to SOW seed
enough ior the fly and myself at the same
time. and have always had good stand
left after the fly had taken his share, which
is generally the lions share. Sow at least
ten seeds where you want one plant; thin
out, if need be when the plants are two
inches high, as then the fly will have done
his work"

FALL PLowISn FOR Roors.-Iom
Ilowatt, Of kentucky, says, that in Great
Britain. the p!owing of land in the Fail,
that it may thus be exposed to the action
of the trosts and of the atmosphere, is con.
siderrd as good as seven tors of additional
manure in the growth of turnip and carrot
crops. lf.tlmt bn SO in the old country, it
must be much lnnrc so here. where the
Winters is longer ald the frosts are more
severe and penetrate more deeply into the

WhiteWaSbing.

There is nothing, perhaps, which con-
tributes more decidedly to the healthincss
of q homestead than whitewash. 1t is a
cheap article, and any one who can lift q
brush can put it on. Fences and rough
siding, as well rs the inside of the tie-ups,
sheds and other out-buildings, and aso
the walls and ceilings of the cellars, should
annually be painted over with good coat
of whitewash The Spring is the most
eligible season for the application, as there
is generally sufficient leisure at that time
before Springs work comes on. and as tic
,lisiniccting and tIcodorizing action Of the
lime will tend 10 prevent those unhealthy
niasrhas which arc generated around most
dwellings, by the decay Of vegetable mat

White walls, and long lines of white
fences cleaning amid luxuriant and EN-
towering foliage, give to farm establish

elegance and comfort, indescribably at
tractive to the man of taste, and can in
no way be so efiectually and economical
ly secured as by giving them few coats
of whitewash. The ceilings of bedrooms,
cookeries, and wash-rooms, should also be
frequently whitewashed. If the walls are
not prepared, the brush should pass over
them likewise. The lime will not only
tend to sweeten the air and prevent cpl
