TIE BEST PLAN OF FARMING.

A correspondent of the Southern Cut
tiuator, writing from Northern Georgia
offers the following practical suggestions te
farmers, which in view of the existing con
dition of our labor system are eminently
worthy of consideration:
cit strikes me, that the up-country far.
mer for our next crop, should plant as small
as possible, such crops as require long ano
steady culture. Plant only such corr
crop as will require but two steady laborers
to cultivate it, and make the yield, by tho
rough preparation of the ground, by plow'
| ing and manuring, make up for quantity
of ground usually planted heretofore. In
other words, say, select thirty acres of good
land for corn, and by preparing it thor;
oughly, by deep and close plowing, and
heavy manuring, it will produce fully as
much, if not more, than sixty acres, plant
ed in our usual way. By this plan, you
save the hiring of two hands, and the use
of two horses, and make thirty acres pro
duce what usually sixty acres did. Such
is certainly making an investment pay
more remuneratingly in land and labor and
product, than what we have formerly been
accustomed to, under our present system OF
management; and this is what we all must
come to, sooner or later, with the hired labor
to make it pay. Our policy is to plant as
small as possible, of such crops as require
incessant culture. Cotton, discard as a
market crop. Let the wheat crop, which
requires no labor in cultivation, after it
has been sown, and can be harvested,
threshed out and prepared for market by
horse powers, reapers and threshers-a JOB
soon over, with the use of such machinery
be large. Also, SOW down largely of clo-
yer and grass, and raise all the stock you
can-cattle, colts, sheep and hogs; and by
no means overlook your orchards, as fruit
can be made very profitable as market
crop. If we adopt this system of manage,
ment, we require but few laborers, and we
improve our lands vastly by sowing down
such products as not only save them from
washing away, but improve them with
grass and clover and stock !; and in a few
years we will see our farms as productive
as they ever were, and in state of preser-
vation and fertility that will increase their
durability and value every year, instead Of
running down and becoming waste lands.
s'Such is the plan I have adopted for
myself, and I have all confidence in its be-
/ ing the safest and most remunerative, in
the present unsettled state of labor and
politics. At any rate, I shall have but
few laborers to worry with, and such crops
that depend more on seasons than culture,
after being properly put in the ground.

THE CAME OF,LIF]

THE GAME OF, LIFE.
This life is but game Of cards,
mortals have to learn;
/, Each shufles, cuts and deals the pack,
And each trump doth turn.
Some bring high card to the top,
And others bring low,
Some hold hand quite flush Of trumps,
While others, none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand,
And pack their cards with care,
So they may know, when they are dealt.
Where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes of rogues,
While rogues each other cheat,
And he isxery wise indeed,
Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw out the ace,
The counting cards to save,
Some play the deuce and some the ten,
But many play the knave.
Some play for money-some for fun
And some for worldly fame,
But not until the games played out,
Can they count upon their gain.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour,
.o No thoughts of sorrow check our joy,
In beauty's rosy bower.
We sing, we dance, sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And while one trump remains at top,
Our games holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the top,
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are bet and won,
BY gamblers young and old. -
Intent on winning, each his game,
Doth watch with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbor's cards,
And beat them on the sly.
When clubs are trumps, look out for war;
On ocean and on land,
For bloody horrors always. come,
When clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked, instead of gold,
The dogs Of war are freed
In our dear country, and we see
That clubs have got the lead.
Last game of all, is when the spade
Is turned by hand of time,
He always deals the closing game,
In every age and CLINE.
No matter how much each man wins,
Or how much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game,
And dig the players grave!

FARMERS, ACCOUNTS.

From what we have learned, says the
Germantown Telegraph, we do not think
farmers are, as a rule, careful and exact
enough in keeping their accounts. They
should have their books as much as me-
chanic or storekeeper, in which to enter
their receipts and expenditures of every
kind and the dates when they are made
The products of every field should be
known, whatever crops may be occupied by
it, and the field noted, so that compari-
son may be made with the product Of the
same kind from the other fields Of equal
extent, in order to get at the most profta-
BILE portions of the farm for particular
crops. Indeed every item should be care
fully entered, as we'll as an estimate as exact
as possible of everything consumed in the
family. By this means each one can as
certain the true results of his years opera.
tions-a circumstance which we should
suppose every farmer would be especially
desirous of knowing-but which, we are
sorry to say, too many of them are indif-
ferent about. An exact knowledge of the
years operations, and the success which
attends them, has stimulating effect in
urging us to do better where we have not
done we'll enough, and to maintain the
guage where well enough has been achiev-
ed. Is it not SO?

SETTING OUT TREEs.-The London Bull.
der says that if people planting orchards
would give orders to mark the north side
of the trees with red chalk before they are
taken up, and when set out to have the
trees put in the ground with their north
side to the north, in their natural positions,
a larger proportion, it is said, would live;
as ignoring this law of nature is the cause
of many transplanted trees dying. If the
north side be exposed to the south, the heat
of the sun is too great for that side of the
tree to bear, therefore, it dries up and de-
GAYS.

To RAISE EARLY ToMAToEs.-About
the first of March, take few large turnips
and cut out the hearts of them, to form a
sort of cup. Fill the cavities with earth,
and plant two or three tomato seeds in
each. When the seeds have we'll sprouted,
pull up all but the healthiest plant in each
turnip and let those that remain stand
where they will have the benefit of the sun
the plant will grow very thrifty-the de-
caying turnip furnishing it food. When
the weather becomes sufficiently warm, set
the turnips in well prepared soil, not less
than three feet apart, make the lathe frames
to keep the vines from the ground, and
keep the soil we'll hilled up around them
and you will have crop that will astonish
the natives. The advantage consists in
getting the plants started early without
setting them back i'm transplanting.

RAISE GRAIN AND STOCK.

1t has been remarked by practical
man, that whenever breadstufs rule high
cotton is depressed, and vice versa. He
states that he has never known it to fail
The Southern people, in their present pov.
erty, should draw lesson from this strange
coincidence, and abandon the culture ot
cotton on so large scale, and take to that
of raising grain crops. 1t is very certain
that the price of provisions promises to be
high, in spite of reported good crops, and
before making arrangements for another
year, planters would do we'll to make very
close calculations as to the profit or loss ot
cotton raising, to the neglect of corn o,
wheat.

fool; but the difference between them is,
that the foibles of one are known to himself
and concealed to the world; the foibles Of
the other are known to the world but con-

those frailties in himself which others can
