be contradicted in the assertion, that
but few cotton planters supply their
families during winter and spring
with rich milk and butter-their
milk being a meagre, worthless fluid,
and butter when good for anything,
purchased in distant markets. Now
to ensure an abundance of these prime
articles of human diet, every man
who owns field, has only in the
month of September to put the re-
quired quantity Of land in good tilth
say two to ten acres according to fam
ily wants, scatter broad cast, cotton
seed at the rate of twelve or fifteen
bushels to the acre, and SOW the ground
in seeds ofrye, wheat Or barley
Either of these grains will answer the
required purpose; but as rye grows
we'll on comparatively poor lands, is
plant sufficiently hardy to withstand
any winter weather, and when eaten
off so as to leave scarcely vestige
of vegetable life, as late as the mid
die or last of March, will then, if cat
tie are turned off, mature good crop
of grain, it would seem to be the pre-
ferablc article.
An opinion prevails that rye is a
very uncertain crop, and for that rea-
son I presume so few planters attempt
to raise it. Its value is incontestible
for winter pasturage; for bread, and
especially for light breakfast cakes,
it is far preferable to the poor, innu-
tritious Buckwheat -four we import
from New Jersey. The allcdged un-
certainty of the rye crop in this coun-
try is attributable, I think, to two
causes. First, the use of effected
seed, to a grea. extent, deteriorated
by bad husbandry, and the continued
attempts at reproduction in the same
region of country for the last fifty or
seventy years: Secondly, to an igno-
rance of the fact, that q light spring
frost will destroy the bloom, and of
course prevent the formation of seed
or grain. Good seed procured from
Kentucky, Or some other State where
rye crops are skillfully and carefully
cultivated for profit, sown in this
State as late as January, so as to
throw the formation of the heads to
apcriod too late to be damaged by
frost, can scarcely fail of a crop
But early sown, September or Octo-
Der, kept down by close grazing till
the middle of March, might turn out
still better; at any rate, that practice
is successful in the counties of Han
cock, Washington and elsewhere in
middle Georgia.

farm can be supplied with it; and
good judgment dictates that to cult
vate properly a large farm, artificial
fertilizers must be used if good crops
are obtained. And so with the labor,
two men cannot suitably till one hun
dred acres of land where the labor Of
two men and perhaps four might be
proftably employed on scventy-fve
acres.
This is the great error in farming.
Two men strive to do what four can
hardly do and thus thousands of acres
are run over, half titled and produ-
cling half crops. The land is run
over till worn out, sustaining year af-
ter year the unnatural tax, till its
energies are entirely. exhausted and
it fails to yield even feeble crop,
because it's life is worn out. Much of
the soil in Virginia and other South
err States is type of this. Thous-
ands of acres are lying entirely use
less and exhausted, and will ever re-
main so, till the first elements of its
power are returned to it. This pro-
cess is fast going on in many of the
Western States. The soil is treated
like an inexhaustible mine; the tillers
are crying give, give, give! till in
few years it will have nothing to,give.
The exports that are constantly
going onward, without returning to
the soil the food it requires to make
it productive.
The light that is being spread
abroad on this subject, is beginning
to correct this practice to some extent,
but in mosti instances very little is re-
turned to the soil to keep it alive, till
after years Of continued cropping, it
manifcsts signs of exhaustion, and ul-
innate barrenness. When tillers of
the soil understand their true in
terest, they will cultivate no more
land than they can do we'll. Fifty
acres of land for tillage, brough Int to a
high state of cultivation, pays better
than two hundred run over in the
way that many do.

THE DYING MOTHER.

We were weeping around the pillow,
For we knew that she must die;
It was night within our bosoms-
1t was night upon the sky.
There were seven ofus children,
I the oldest one of all;
1t was night within our bosom
twas night upon the sky.
On my knees my little brother
Leaned his aching brow and wept;
And my sisters long black tresses
Ger my heaving bosom swept.
The shadow of IN awful fear
Came DER me as trod,
To lay the burden Of our grief
Before the throne of God.
"Oh, be kind to one another"
Was my mothers pleading prayer
As her hand lay like snowflake
On the baby's golden hair.
Then glory bonnd her forehead
Like the glory of q crown;
And in the silent sea of death
The star of light went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon that loving prayer,
And the hand grew heavier, paler,
On the baby's golden hair.

THE TRUE SYSTEM OF FARMING

THE TRUE SYSTEM OF FARMING
Trying to do too much, is COM
mon error into which the farmers Of
ten falls. His great eagerness in
striving to be rich, is doubtless the
cause Of his error. He is ambitious
and energetic, and forms his plans on
a large scale, too often, perhaps, with
out counting the cost. He buys a
large farm and wants to be called
"large farmer" without understand
ing or considering the true clements
that constitutes a real farmer. He
fancics the greatness Of that profes-
sion, as is too often the common esti-
mate, to be in proportion to the num-
Der of acres, not to say cultivated,
but embraced within the boundaries
of his domain. The fact is now being
spread abroad, that a large farm does
not make man either rich, contented
or happy, but on the contrary, the
reverse of all these, unless we'll titled,
when his labor is rewarded by ample
crops and fair success in the various
departments in which he is engaged.
No farmer can realize the full bene-
fits of his profession without adopt
ing thorough system of culture.
His success, commensurate to his
wishes, always depends upon the
manner in which he prepares his
grounds, plants his seed, and rears
his stock. Neither Of these depart
ments, which may be considered the
cardinal ones of his profession, will
take care of themselves. The soil
may be rich but it needs culture.
His seeds may be sown, but it should
be in due time, and always on soil
we'll prepared and of a suitable quail
ty for the production of the crop de-
sired. His stock must be constantly
cared fort derives its thrift from
the soil, and sends again to that soil
the sustenance it requires; but this
is not done in loose or haphazard
way. The farmers care is required,
and all his better judgment must be
exercised, in keeping up this system
of reciprocal benefits that may be re-
allied by every intelligent and indus
trious farmer.
Thorough cultivation and syste-
matte attention to all parts of his bu-
siness is indispensable to good de-
gree of success. The very corner
stones to this whole system farming, is

themselves farmers. If the land has
been worn, the extent of that exhaus-
ton and the food required, must be
first considered. When ascertained,

must be given, to bring out full re-

stock, and consequently but a small
amount of manure to replenish his
land, it is obvious that but small
