AGRICULrURE OF MIDDLE TEN.
NESSEE.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
There appears to be but three ways for a
nation to acquire wealth. The first is by
war. as the Romans did in pluckiDg their
neighbors. This is ROBBERY. The second
by commerce, which is frequently cheating.
The third by agriculture the only honest
way, wherein man receives real increase
Of the seed thrown into the ground in a
kind of continued miracle wrought by the
hand of God in his favor, as a reward for
his innocent life and his virtuous indus
Try.
Agriculture needs no eulogy. Learned
men in all philosophers, statesmen,
orators, from Cicero to the present day
have done themselves honor and "appeased
the GODS" by laying good will offerings on
The affairs of agriculture. Il is enough to
know that it is the first form Of civilization,
the mother of wealth, and tie heavens p-
pointed employment humankind. believe
il would promote the general happiness Of
society 70 incQlcate the doctrine that farm
ing Is the destined occupation Of all nien dt
birth. and that he who foTsakes it
for other pursuits must show substantial
reasons for the departure to entitle him to
encouragement. A man who possesses
eminent mechanical ingenuity had better
he a mechanic. He who is thoroughly
fitted by nature and education is justified in
being a public teacher, and he who is born
10 BIZ distributor of the earth's products
may he merchant; but all should evince
evidence of capability for the pursuit to en-
ale them to the rewards due only TO abil-
ity.
II, agriculture. the Creator has furnished
q safe and healthy employment for all men.
He has endowed certain meniwith peculiar
talents suited to the exceptional kinds oil
business. Those who are diligent or fortu.
nate In the discovery OF His will in regard
10 themselves, find success and happiness
Those who thrust themselves into employ
ments for which they are untitled, from un-
worthy motives, must suffer the penalties
of violated law.

FARM AND GARDEN.
.CO.OPERATIyE FARMING.


Among many suggestions for extending
and improving our system Of farming and
planting, that of cooperative effort be-
tween capital and labor is not the least
promising. This system is coming into
practice in England. The reader viii find
in these columns interesting remarks on
the subject made by the Right Honorable
Speaker of the House of Commons to the
laborers on his estate, met to celebrate re-
cent ingsthering Of the harvest. The main
question seems TO be: How can the land
holder most interest his work people in
the success of his farming operations Mr..
Brand answers this question by offering
them an equal share Of all profits realized
by farming, according to the capital they
may furnish. The landholder becomes
their savings bank, and agrees to pay depos-
itors ten per cent interest on their deposits,
provided the laborers by their industry,
faithful care Of stock, tools, machinery and
crops, secure that amount Of clear profit on
the operations OF the establishment. An
can do something to save and produce, and
much to waste property on large farm.
They can cultivate and indulge or not,
vicious habits, which will consume from
week to week and month to month all that
belongs to them, and sometimes a good
deal more. This folly tends TO poverty,
and frequently compels the farmer to sell
his crops as soon as gathered, and at a price
that hardly pays expenses. Something like
this state Of things is now quite common
in all the planting States. Only few are
truly masters of the situation, and able to
hold their crops till the best time 10 put
them on the market.
This is a lack of Esound economy makes
thousands poor where better management
would soon make them rich and iDdepend-
ent. 1t IS easy TO call such rigid economy
mesns stingy and disreputable; which is
simply great mistake. A man who finds
himself knee deep in the mnd, should be
neither too nice, nor too lazy to come out
OF such an undesirable place. Farmers and
laborers, whether white or black, need a
change for the better; and we are glad to
recognize in the agricultural societies o.
Tennessee an earnest and commendable
effort in this direction. Let us try our best
TO improve our biped stock that talks and
reasons first; and all other needful improve.
ments will come naturally and easily.
Selfshness often defeats its most cherish
ed purpose by being not less short sighted
than narrow minded. One must learn tC
let live as well as to live. Our system o.
agriculture must be placed on new basis
which should be broad enough to give ;
secure and lasting foundation. The Eng
lish cooperative plan deserves careful con
sheraton. 1t will give every estate Of any
surface a savings bank for the common
benefit of all. The farmer viii be Thu
banker. and every laborer will. be deposito
aud gamer, if the business is well conduct
ed. The practice will develop fnsncis
study and talent in the State, which i
what we need.

HARVESTING ROOTs-SUGGEs -
TTONS,

1t is a great error to suppose that roots,
such as beets, turnips, carrots, etc, when
intended for stock feeding, should be
housed early. 1t is, on the contrary, much
better to let them remain out till the wealth
er becomes quite sevele-a heavy frost
does not impair the turnip If it is in the soil.
When 1 see ploughing done year after
year in the same track, beside q fence Ol
gully, till dyke Of some height is thrown
up, l think there is want of good bus-
bandry, When see stone-wall topped
out with single tier of stones, round as
foot balls, l look out for breachy sheep,
dull scythes, and poor neighbors. When
see a farmer plant two acres Of corn and
put two loads of manure on it, and then
only get half crop CT pig corn, make w
my mind he is lacking in judgment, and will
never be successful in any occupation.

AN English writer says that agriculture
is the Immediate source Of human provt-
sion; that trade conduces to the production
Of provision only as it supports agriculture;
that the whole system of commerce vast
and various as it is, has no public impor-
lance save to its subserviency to that end.
1t has peculiar significance in country
like this, where agriculture is, and always
will be, of prime Importance.
