WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD
FARMER?

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 or starue to death. This
is strong expression, but as true as it is
strong. Old fogyism may continue to de-
nounce those who labor to improve the agri-
culture of the South but the time will come
when their posterity will see their stupid fol-
ly, and be forced to improve tho soil which
their ancestors butchered: The day has al
ready come with England, France, Germany
and Ireland, where agriculturists are COM
pelled from true necessity to study their pro-
fession, and improve their systems of farm
ing economy, to an extent limited only by
their power to do so. If they were to pur-
sue the course that 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 ga good
farmer?" There is much diversity of opin-
ion on this question. Sometimes the men
who run over the most land per hand, and
drag out of the soil the most money, regard
less of the wear and tear of land, and team
and force, are called good farmers, yea, the
best farmers But that is not true! Iadmit
it not. To do so would be equivalent to ad-
mitting that the doctor who made the most
money, regardless of the lives he destroyed,
was the best doctor. The one would be a.
bout as true as the other-both are utterly
false.
A "good farmer" according to the best
and most intelligent agriculturist of the
South, is the man who improves hisland, and
the appearance of his place, improves his
stock and takes care of his force. And [
think this definition of the term is correcs.
No man, however intelligent on other sub
jects, no matter how much money he may
be making for the tin'e.6eing, should be con-
sidered "good farmer" in the strictast
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 yawuing 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, a good farmer. No man
who denounces 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"

PRETTY HARD ICE.-Deacon johnson is
great temperance man, and sets good ex-
ample of total abstinence as far as he is seen.
Not long since he employed carpenter to
make some alterations in his parlor, and re-
pairing the corner near the fireplace it was
found necessary to remove the wainscoting,
when 10! a discovery was made that aston
ished everybody. A brace of decanters, a
tumbler, and pitcher, were cozily reposing
there as if they had stood there from the be-
ginning. The Deacon was summond, as he
beheld the blushing bottles he exclaim-
ed
WALL, I declare, that is curious, sure e.
nough. 1t must be that old Bains left them
when he went out of this house thirty years
ago.
perhaps he did, returned the carpenter,
sbut, deacon, the ice in the pitcher must
have been froze mighty hard to stay all this
time

PoTAToEs-NEw AND OLD friend
and neighbor, J. A. A., favors us this week
with samples of his sweet potatoes, of the
old crop and the new crop. The latter are
finer than any We have yet seen. 1t is Gu
rious to know too how they were raised
planted in raw piney woods new ground that
never had plow in it; the beds made up
with the hoe, the draws set in them, and
nothing more done to the patch except once
cutting the bushes--an experiment worthy
of every farmers attention.
The old potatoes are as sound as silver
dollars. The plan of saving them is one
which has enabled our friend to have pota-
toes on his table from one years end to anoth-
er. We give it for the general benefit:

j. A. AS Plan Of Sauing S'oeet Potatoes.
-"Always dig before frost and when the
ground is very dry; have your beds ready
by raising them about ten inches above the
ground, then put on dry straw about one
foot deep, then put on the potatoes, about
twenty five bushels in bank, next put straw
one foot deep on them, then dirt at least
one foot thick we'll packed. Shelter them
with good shelter to keep them dry. Leave
no air hole, but rather try to exclude the
air entirely. Patatoes thus put up are not
effected by the changes of the weather, which
generally rot the potato. If dug when the
ground is wet they are almost certain to rot. "

SPECTACLE SToRY.-A good story is told
by dealer who had advertised eyeglasses,
by the aid of which person could read easi'
ly, the finest print. A well-dressed Irish
man called at his counter one day to be ft'
ted to pair Of spectacles. As he had re-
marked that he had never worn any, some
were handed to him that magni6ed very
little. he looked hard through them, upon
the book set before him, but declared he
could make out nothing. Another pair Of
stronger power were then saddled upon his
nose, but unsuccessfully as before. Further
trials were made, until at length, the almost
discouraged dealer passed to him a pail
which magni6ed more than all the rest in his
stock. The customer, quite as impatient al
the merchant, at having tried so many, ane
glowered through them at the printed page
with all his might. 'Cau you read that print
ing now p enquired the dealer, pretty certain
that he had hit it right this time at any rate
sDivil bit, was the reply. 'Can you reae
at all?' said the merchant, unable to concea
his vexation any longer. Read it all?' cri
ed the customer. Theirs not a single wore
among them that I can identify his fatures.

dealer impatiently. 'Out wild you!' shouted
the Irishman, throwing down the spectacle'
in huff. IF 1 could read, what would I b
after buying pair of spectacles for? 1or
