SMALL FARMS VS.. LARGE FARMS.

It has been quite fashionable in late
years to cry down large farms, and re-
commend that more thorough system of
culture be applied over much smaller
surface-that is to adopt small farms.
This is correct as far as it goes; but to re-
commend small farms for fruit culture and
gardening, Of but three to ten acres, as
amply sufficient to occupy the time and
energies of the cultivator and yielding an
ample profit. is not always judicious
policy. Were we asked by an amateur
about purchasing small farm. our CAM
did advice as to its successful management
we would reply;
LIST. Do not buy too small a farm. nor
plant it all out in fruits.
I'd. Leave enough space to grow other
crops for home support or sale.
Sd. Allow sufficient room for the
production of grass or hay, to produce
an abundance of manure.
Money is almost always lily spent in
purchasing fertillizing material from other
sources than the home farm. 1t should
be as much the calculation Of small
farmer to produce all the manure he needs
on his own place as to endeavor to cul-
tivate the lands we'll. Trust to home
resources is a good motto for all.
A farm Of ten acres is not enough to
enjoy life as favorably, as economically,
o: to conduct as judiciously as one ought.
A certain space Of every farm should
be devoted to fruits, then certain space
to garden truck, which will yield an in
come the first year; then another space
should be devoted to raising crops for
home support, and, lastly another space
in grass, which is to furnish, through the
cattle who eat it, the manure which is to
fertilize the whole. It is impossible to
make small farms pay unless manfred.
We hold that no man should 60 off his
own farm to bay manure, but should al
ways provide for an abundance on his
own place; no one ought to complain if he
has more than enough. The stumbling
block in the way of the success of too
many small farmers is that they trust too
much to the natural fertility of their soil,
and do not calculate enough on proper
and abundant supplies of manure.
They find out, sooner or later, that
small farm, to pay we'll, needs fine culture
and that depends more than all things else
on big manure heap.
Given that, then we believe in farms of
ten acres, four acres, or even ten rods;
without that, we would not give zig for
as fine land as lies within a thousand miles
of the great city.
Small farms are correct in theory,
provided they are treated in the best
manure but large farms can always be
made to pay, because they possess con-
veniences not enjoyed by the other.
In Horticulture it is impossible to crop
the ground year after year without giving
back to it some appropriate nourishment
and bountiful crops will come in proportion
to the amount applied.-DeitS's FARM

of hog he is amazingly like dandy.
To keep him in frst-rate trim, he soon

soon becomes too enterprising to be fine

OLD MEMORIES.

From the Banner Of the South.
Sing that sweet melody again,
heard it once in happier hours,
1t falls upon my weary brain
Like breath of summer flowers.
1t brings before my pensive mind,
The hallowed scenes of other years,
When life was one long day of joy,
Bright-unalloye with tears.
The blooming hawthorn scents the air
The lark's loud song is in the sky,
And gath ring sweets from balmy flowers,
The bee huns merry 6y.
Again hear my Mary's voice,
Her matchless form see once more,
Again her witching glance of love
Enchants me as. of yore
Her small white hand is clasped in mine,
Her fragrant breath is on my cheek,
Wrapt in a trance of thsiiling joy,
Our hearts too full 10 SPEAK.
Oh! could such ecstacy but last,
Such scenes of ravishing delight,
Who would exchange this earth of ours,
For other worlds, though bright?
The song is hushed, its echoes die,
Like fairy music in the air,
Out of its shell, so full of JOY
| wake to grief and care.

SINGULAR ORre1N OF A PEACH ORCHARD

SINGULAR ORIGIN OF FEACH ORCHARD.
George f. Akers. who is at present on
a visit to Virginia, writes to friend IN
Nashville, from Petersburg, that The
breastworks in front of Petersburg thrown
up by the confederates during the late
war, extending to the left toward Rich
mond about twenty five miles, for the de-
fence OF the city, has grown up in con-
tinuous line of peach trees of every varie.
ty, yielding an abundant crop during the
present year This is only the legacy
left by our poor fellows who were in the
advance line within one hundred yards Of
the enemy. Having eaten the fruit while
on picket duty, they cast the seeds aside,
and now they appear in one continuous
line of forty five miles in beautiful fruit
trees, yielding the greatest variety of the

RoYALTY IN THE EAsT.-The fashion of
travelling in the East, which was so mag.
ni6cently inaugurated by the Empress
Eugenie, has been followed by other
Royal personages. The Grown Prince
of Prussia has just visited Jerusalem,
and, after visiting the church of the Holy
Sepulchre, and brandishing the sword Of
Godfrey de Bouillon, which is one of the
relics there, he visited the celebrated
Mosque of Omar. On the following day
he attended the English church and par
took of the Sacrament, and then pro-
ceeded to take possession of grant
made by the Sultan to his father for the
erection of German church. The EN-
peror of Austria has just visited the
Holy Land also. He is the first Emperor
who has done so for 600 years, the last
one being Frederick II, of Germany, who
took the city of Jerusalem from the Mos
lens about the year 1880. Francis
Joseph went in great state and with a
fleet, and, diserabarking, visited Bethle-
hem and other localities mentioned in
Biblical history. The presence Of these
members of Royal houses in the East
has been construed into having some po-
litical and diplomatic Importance. The
East is now more accessible than it has
ever been, and travelling in the Holy
Land is not attended with as many dis
comforts Us formerly, as good dragomen
can always be obtained, and safe trans
portation on the outside of a well-dis-
posed horse or camel.

The PHOSPHATE MoNopoLY.--The
Charleston papers-the Ne,cs and the
Cou'ier-have followed up the exposure
first made in these columns, of the phos-
phate monopoly which it is attempted to
consummate in the present Legislature
for the benefit Of certain persons. II is
q gross outrage, and violation of public
right The Courier well says:
''As was we'll said by one of the En-
perors OF Rome, when requested to affix
his name to no edict of his exclusive I'm
perial possession, he answered: "These
we're not his property, but the common
public estate of every Roman. But if
the State has the power the course to be
pursued is p1ain-it is to grant no mono
poly, but to acknowledge the right of
every citizen or corporation, to dig these
deposits from its navigable waters, re-
quiring, if it please such royalty, q tax,
as will contribute to the common sup
port or benefit. AS it is now, these phos-
phate are the common property of all
who have the enterprise and the energy
to secure them, and therefore are for the
common benefit. But the State has no
right to confer monopoly, and exclude
the body of the people from its benefits.
AS the representative of the people, even
if it possessed the power, the least it
could do would be to grant the privilege
to different persons, in different sections,
upon the most advantageous terms, or to
admit the right of all upon the payment
of certain royalty. But to grant to a
certain number the exclusive and single
right of taking from the bed of the navi-
gable streams the phosphates which are
to be found upon their bed, it has no
more legal right than to grant to any in
dividusl the exclusive right of fishery in
their waters, to the thrusting out of every
other citizen of the State. The earnest
endeavor of all should be to foster and
encourage enterprise, and to produce the
greatest benefit for the common good.

The REASON HY.-The United States
may blnster. but d foreign war with q
first class power is by no means desira-
BILE. The Secretary of the Navy tells
the reason why. His report shows that,
out Of forty-six iron-clads and monitors,
thirty-two have been condemned and
sold. he likewise announces that many
other vessels are entirely unsuited for
naval purposes. SO, not only have the
radicals destroyed tile merchant marine
of the country, but, in spite of many
millions spent, they have not armed ships
euongh to protect the coast, in case of a
fight with France or England.
