From the Southern Cul,iva.or
Raise Food Crops.

EDITORS SOUTHERN CULrlvAToR:--Will
YOU. tM as a favor to onrpoor Cotton stricken
countrymen continue trying 70 impress
upon all that plant seed of cotton this
wear. the absolute necessity of raising
plenty Of provisions first, and then what
cotton ,uey can. For as you say. they
Will get more money for a small crop
than for large one, and have less tax to
pay, be Independent of extortion prices
from our Western corn raisers, and make
item feel less independent-stop the flow
of Southern wealth into Northern pockets,
and instead of being the poor dependent
fools that we are likely to become, if we
RELY on the North and West to feed us,
we can, by raising plenty of provisions
of all kinds, have more time to raise ma,
nure, to ditch, and to improve ou.' farms
in various ways, and thereby conduce to
our comfort and happiness, and be and
feelas Independent as any people can feel,
occupying our political position. We
should also become our own Manulactu-
rers, and encourage all enterprises that
aid in establishing the independence Of our
section. Here we are, although tie war
has been stopped so short atime, clothing
our families with Northern.ma de calico
and homespun and hats and bonnets-
,trutting ourselves; around }n5 Northern
made boots aud shoes-r;d my in North
ern buggies-patronizing N orthern taiiors
wearing Northern made coats, pants,
&c. Who could believe that so short
time ago, we were CT ying to cut each
others throats, and hav ling Northern mer-
cenaries robbing us of our spoons, knives
and forks, watches, gold and silver, and
even to our bahS wca ring clothes-to say
nothing of our blood. and the deprivation
of the right OF choosing our rulers! ! And
now 6ve-sixths of the very men that were
engaged IN deadly conflict against the
North, are exerting themselves in every
possible way, to enable those who are evil
IDENTIFY still our eneraies, to buy clothing
cheap, and to sell everything they posi-,
bly, can make to us, at as dear rate as
possible, by depending on them, even TO
raise our bread and bacon-to say nothing
of the thousands Of other things.
May Providence awaken our people to
a sense of their true situation, and give
them foresight and sense to perceive what
is the proper course for them to pursue,
in relation to this momentous subject.

Ok BALxINe.-Ifyou have. balky horses,
it is your fault and not the horses, for if
they do not pull true, there is some cause
for it, and if you will remov the cause
the effect will cease.
When your horse balks he is excited,
and does not know what ' ou want him to
do. When he gets little excited, stop
him five or ten minutes, let him become
calm, good the balky f.orse, pat him and
speak gently to him, and as soon as nc is
over his excitement he will. in nine cases
out of ten, pull at the word. Whipping
aud slashing and swearing only makes
the matter worse After you have gen
lied him awhile, and his excitement has
cooled down, take him by the bits; turn
him each way q few minutes as fur as You
can; pull out the tongue; gentle him q
little; unrein him; then stop before the
oalky horse, and then let the other start
first; then you can take them any where
you wish. A balky horse.is always high.
spirited, and starts quick; half his pull
is out before the others start; by standing
before him, the others start too. BY close
application to his rule, you can make any
balky horse pull.
If horse has been badly spoiled, you
should hitch him to The empty wagon, and
pull it around while ON level ground; then
put little load, and increase it gradually,
caressing as before, and in a short time
you can have good work -horse--Amer-
lean Farmer.

Old Benes.

Few persons are aware of the intrinsic
value Of old bones, and have wondered
at the quantities that are daily being car
ried through the streets and shipped to
different. points North. Little or no use
has ever been made of this material in
this section, and the newspaper paragraphs
alluding to its efficacy asa manure have
been generally disregarded. At the
North, where every foot of land is highly
cultivated, it is necessary to employ some
means to restore the impoverished earth
to its normal condition, and the most i'm.
proved fertilizers are used for this spur-
pts,. Among those that have been tried.
none have been found equal tothe ammo
mated mapures, as these contain . large
proportion saf lime, which is essential to
the health of the growing plants. These
manures, are composed principally of pull
yerized bones, an6 the raw material is OBJ
tained from all sections of the country
and prepared in the large factories in the
Northern cities, from whence it is shipped
often to the very places that supplied the
bones.
Iuan agricultural country likethe South
the importance Of fertilizers has been long
known, and large expenditures are annn,
ally made by theplanters to procure them
In our present impoverished condition, it
is of vital interest to study economy in
every particular, aud whenit is known
that we possess the fertiizing material,
the energy necessary to prepare it will be
soon generated The freight on the old
horns sInd bones shipped from this port,
together with the return freight, profit and
charges of the manufacturers and their
agents, amount to a considerable sum,
which is drained from people struggling
against poverty. "A factory to pulverize
the bones and prepare the manure for
market could be easily established near
this city,a and would, in time, proveapay-
