Good Tillage Will Tell.

A correspondent of the Augusta Chrona-
Gle and Sentinel, writing from Madison,
Ga, says:
GAS notable incident, I may mention
that two Northern gentlemen purchased
from Col. j. B. Walker, 2,70O acres of land
in the spring, at $3.50 and s20-plough-
ed 1000 acres with two.horse turning
ploughs, introduced all the implements for
plantingand cultiVatiug, much to the amuse-
ment of many of those welded to the drill
tongue and schooters, and I am informed
that their crop is the finest in all the re-
gion, and that, with no further calamity,
they will make enough to pay for the farm
this year."
As we are commencing new era In our
agricultural pursuits, the above should CON-
mend itself to the attention of those enga-
ged in them. Now is good time to avail
themselves of every improvement in the i'm
plements of husbandry; and, indeed, such
a course, from diminished and defective
field labor, has become imperative.
The Chester Standard, commenting on
the above paragraph, says:
eyes; good tillage ariU tell. 1t is very
difficult to introduce new ideas and to at
tempt innovations upon old established
usagea. Men cling tenaciously to old Gus.
toms and habits of thought. All new dis.
coveries, however valuable, must first run
the gauntlet of public ridicule and private
sarcasm, before their advantages aud supe
riority are appreciated and admitted. In
the science of agriculture, We of the South
are far, far behind our Northern neighbors,
Our soil is naturally as fertile, our climate
more genial, our working seasons longer
than theirs. Why should not the yield of
our land be as remuneratiVe Simply he.
cause where we apply one bushel Of manure
to the acre, they apply tweuty-where we
are satisfied with turning up the earth three
or four inches, their patent sub-soilers reach
the depth of sixteen or twenty. The hard
pan must be broken up, before the sun and
atmosphere can reach the hidden treasures
beneath, and distribute their fertilizing
principles to the roots of the growing crops
Hence the success of the Northern planters
at Madison, Ga. Why cannot We derive
instruction from their example? Every
acre of our land, under proper cultivation,
is capable of producing bale of cotton or
thirty bushels of corn Plant less and cul-
tivate more thoroughly. The three great
secrets of successful planting operations are
to be found in deep plougbiug, the generous
application of suitable manures, and sys
tematic tillage When your lands are pro.
perly prepe:ed and enriched, half your crop
is made already. Nature, with little as
sistance, will accomplish the remainder OF
the labor"

following item sh rowing the amodus of the

"I find "Political MANU- for 1885,

House of Representatives, containing full
record of each branch Of the government
on reconstruction, from the accession OF
Mr.. johnson to the Presidency, April Is,
1865, to July 4, 1866. The animus Of
the publication is not partisan, but official.
And yet find appended to the names Of
Southern Senators and Representatives
such explanatory memoranda as the fol-
lowing:
sMr. Perry, was "Confederate States

Mr.. Manning, was volunteer aid to Beau.

Mr.. Kennedy, was Colonel.
Mr.. McGowan, Brigadier General in the

South Carolina sends James Il. Orr,
John L. Manning, and others. The claims
of South Carolina to distinction is that, un-
