From the Southern Cultirator for Novenaber.
Thoughts for the Month.

Cotton has opened this season so rapidly,
that probably little remains to be picked. We
have never known it to open so early and so
rapidly. If crowding it on the market has
worked detriment to the farmer by depressing
prices, the early gathering of the crop may be
of great advantage in clearing the way for next
years operations One of the greatest evils of
cotton planting, is the incessant labor it re-
quires from January to January again. This
year some two months will be liberated from
its exacting demands. This will give an op-
portunity for putting wheat in nicely, and
pressing forward the turning over of land.
The sowing of wheat was discussed in our Sep
tember No. We will only add, select dry
time for ploughing in seed Experience has
shown this to be a very important element of
success. Two acres of very rich land will fur
nish family with bread surely every farmer
in the South can afford to SOW that much.
FALL PLoUGH1NG.S
Procrastination is natural to most of lis. We
need the spur of present necessity to urge us
forward One says / shall have "plenty of
time after Christmas to break up all my land.
/ have always done it heretofore, end can do it
again." Perhaps he forgets, however, that
there have been seasons when, in order to get
done after Christmas, he was obliged to plough
when his judgment told him it was zoo wet.
Granting an abundance of time, however it is
vastly better to plough before than after Christ
mas. Land turned over in the fall will invari-
ably be soft and mellow in the spring-this
cannot always be said of that turned over in
the spring. The air will have brought its
chemistry to bear on the former, and the frosts
will have pulverized it vastly better than clod-
crushers and harrows and other human imple-
ments could have done. The vegetable matter
turned under will have longer time to decom-
pose and get ready to nourish the succeeding
crop, and last Of all, abundant experience has
demonstrated that crops grow better on fall
ploughed than spring-ploughed land. In
spring -ploughing, the land, as said before, is
very apt to be too wet Gwen if the surface is
dry enough, the underlying clay may be and
often is entirely too wet and at each successive
breaking, the plough presses and solidifes the
SOFT plastic clay into compact layer or "ha-d-
pan," through which water can neither descend
nor ascend with any degree of facility.
Again, hard packing rains are likely to fall
soon after spring ploughings; these run the
land together and cut off the entrance of the
air, with all its beneficial results. In addition,
it is bad policy to throw this hard work on the
mules so late in the season, giving them no
time to rest, and prepare for the exhausting
work of spring and summer. 1t is very inn
portant to begin the planting of crop with
stock in the best possible condition. A very
common mule in good condition will carry his
row with really fine mule, if the latter is
poor and worn down with previous heavy work.

The morning following freshet, celebra-

An intelligent contraband in the lower
part of Elbert county recently tried the effect
of drinking four gallons of whisky in as many
days. His death, it is thought, occurred before
the whisky had its full effect, thus depriving
the scientific world of much valuable informa-
ton.

Is pecuiiasly adapted to every disease of the
lEngs and liver which is produced by our ever
varying climate.
There is, perhaps, no disease with which our
country is affecte d, which sweeps off annually
SO many victims as that fell destroyer Of the
human race-Consnmp ption. Day after day
year after year, the insatiate monster hurriss
to the cold and silent portals of the tomb fresh
added victims TO its conquest. No walk of life
is sacred from its blighting influence. No age
is exempt from its death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food for this common enemy of mankind.
The white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
peranes has rendered his system impervious to
the attacks of other ills, and whose good deeds
prepared him for the enjoy msnt OF lifes calm
evening, finds consumption fastening its fangI
upon his vitals, aud tearing him from q world
ever bright to minds which look complacently
on days we'll spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and incipient
stages, coughs, asthma, group, and liver com
plaiDt, form by far the most fatal class of di,
eases known to our land. Yet even those N ay
be cured by means Of the simple yet powerful
remedies that are scattered wherever these mai.
aides prevail.
