From my experience, | am convinced
that, with little expense, this can be
made pleasant as well as remuneratlve
business-the great essential being proper
feed and keer ing them in warm place,
as they are for the first few weeks tender
and cannot bear the dew and rain. The
feeding of eggs may, to some, seem ex-
travagant but if you wish your fowls TO

is nothing equal to it, as the increase in
growth will by maEket time compensate
you for all extravaganza in this kind OF

few weeks.-Cor. Rural World.

TOUCHING INCIDENT. During the
late visit of the Hon. jefferson Davis to
this city, while he was being called on
by crowds of respectable citizens, and re-
ceiving manifestations of respect from
hundreds of the most prominent and
worthy ladies and gentlemen of this city,
there occurred little episode of a very
pleasing character. One night, during
his stay at the Planters House, he was
serenaded by some colored people who were
formerly his slaves. After their dulcet
strains had ceased, Mr. Davis called
them into his room, where, after cordial
greetings on both sides and a little chat
about old times, he made each a hand
some present. At another time during
his stay he was called on by an s.Old
aunty," who had been the nurse of his
oldest child. The affection that the ex-
slaves manifested for their former mas
ter, and the interest which he manifest
ted for them and their future welfare
was really affecting. Louis Christian
Advocate.

There is false idea prevalent about
resting enough in a few weeks of the
summer to last the year. However full
of delight and peace the lazy hours in
the country, however freighted with rest
and strength the long days by the sea,
we cannot hoard and carry away enough
of the precious store. Every twenty
four hours is a cycle of its own in which
to tear down and build up, and whatever
is spent between one sunrise and another
must be made good from food, recreation
and rest, and whoever commences the
morning already tired in spending too
much somewhere, will find that system
of paying natures past debts by drawing
ON the future will make him bankrupt.
But we do not need to wait till in the
fullness of time we can join the throng
at watering-places. To any one, unless
shut up between four brick walls, if there
belong green spot somewhere around
the house, if he can sit at least under
one vine and fig tree of his own, there is
at hand a perennial spring if he but
knows how to drink of it. Perhaps you
say, 81 cannot stop to rest; have no
time; will by and by, but now l must
do my work. All! but are you sure of
your by and by-the one this side of
eternity 1 mean! Are you not doing the
very thing now that may lose it for you,
or, if entered upon, will it not, instead
Of being spent in rest, as you fondly hope,
be spent rather in vain regrets for the
strength so unwisely and hopelessly lost?
Moreover what is this work that you
must be always doing3 If to do good is
your ruling motive, have you not learned
that 1t is what you are, as well as what
you do, that blesses the world? And
though the toll of your hands is worth
much, beautiful spirit of good cheer
surrounding you is worth more, and you
are not becoming the best you might be
if you have no time to entertain this
spirit of rest ard strength which cannot
live with WEAKNESS. Herald of Health.

From Monthly Report of Agricultural
Department.
The Two Systems of Agriculture
at the South.

A careful observer reports the follow
ing facts respecting two intelligent, enter
prising planters in the same locality in
Louisiana They were possessed of
equivalent fortunes, and of plantations
about equal in size and productiveness
before the war At its close, both were
stripped of everything except their desc
lated lands. One of these planters fully
appreciated the necessity Of adapting
himself to the new order of things.
Recognizing it as his first duty to provide
for the immediate wants of his family,
and remembering that his neighbors who
were exclusively occupied in raising cot
ton must have food for their families and
hands, he gave his first attention to the
raising of products for home consumption
corn, potatoes, garden vegetables,
orchard, and small fruits clover for
stock and food for swine. Cotton and
rice had place in this diversified agri-
culture, but they were made subordinate
to those products which every family
must have for the table. Beginning in
this way, on a small scale, he could avoid
a great debt, and its consuming canker of
interest; get along with a small amount
of help, and have constant and remuner-
alive employment for that; secure his
family comfortable support indepen-
IDENTIFY Of prices in the market, and be
sure of a ready sale for whatever surplus
he raised. Year by year he has made
steady upward progress; his fruit trees
have come more and more into bearing;
his clover-felds have been extending
and his means for increasing the produc-
tiveness of his lands have been multi
plying. To-day, if he has not more
wealth, his. family have more comforts
and luxuries, he has more ready money,
and is more independent than before the
war. The other could not overcome his
attachment to the cid system of exclusive
cotton-planting, but has steadily adhered
to it. Gin fact he has taken up his veg
etable-garden with the adored staple.
This plan necessitated the contraction of
a large debt, withsits accommodating inter
est, from the very beginning. This has
grown as steadily as his neighbours gains,
and the probability is that his now heav-
lily mortgaged plantation must pass out of
his hands before another season.

1t is not every one Of our exchanges
that hits the nail so squarely on the head
as the Warrenton (Mo.,) Banner. If it
was the Danbury News that asked some

tells and railroad cars and may be seen
every day valise in hand marching from
store to store in our villages, seeking to
sell their wares at prices which are keep
ing our consumers poor, and themselves
from honest toll. Now if the consumers
can avoid supporting these middlemen
whose greatest risk in business is that
that they will soil their clothes, and
whose greatest effort for the country is to
impress the world with full sense OF
the superiority of the fd-e-own east
over the west, we glory in their attempt,
if they can't then we hope they will try
any way.

by the consumers, without giving any
compensation or mourning any risk !;
whose salaries, hotel and cigar bill must
be paid by us in addition to the iegiti-
mate costs and profits of the articles we
purchase.
Now the grangers can hustle these fell
lows off to the workshops and fields, and
buy their goods from only those who buy
from houses which dispense with run
ners, and need only the legitimate profits
for their risk and labor. If the $50 or
a in the price of every sewing machin, !;
and the $50 or $50 in the price of every
reaper which goes into the pockets Of
the so-called agents-were saved to the
farmers, it would in the course of a year
amount to thousands of dollars in almost
every county in the west. If we would
escape bankruptcy we must discourage
those who foist upon US these dead-heads
to be maintained. If they will sell only
through agents let them look in other
directions for custOmerers.

How to Raire Turkeys.

For several years I had been unsuc.
cessful, when at last, becoming discour-
aged at repeated unsuccess, I determined
to abandon the business, so / sold nv
turkeys and rested from my labors for a
time. But l noticed that SEINE of my
neighbors succeeded pretty well in rails
ing these birds, and from them l obtain

practice. So last season I purchased a
hen and few eggs, determined that if /
failed this time would never make
another attempt. In a proper course of
time the mofker turkey brought Of ten

Arkansas county, Arkansas found
one stalk of cotton, planted about the
18th of June, on which 4 counted 115
grown bolls This will make 1.15 pounds
Of seed-cotton. An acre of cotton plant
ed 4 feet by 4 feet, and each stalk pro-
ducing as well as that, would yield about
5000 pounds of seed-cotton. This years
experience proves to me that fair crop
of cotton can be raised on the bottom
lands, planted after the 1st of June,
provided the land is in fair order. l
have long been of the opinion that the
most economical way to produce cotton is
in checks, feet by feet on the bottom
lands, and feet by feet OH uplands.
I am certain that an intelligent laborer
can cultivate twice as much checked, 4
by 4, as in the drill-system, in which at
least three-fourths of the cultivating has
to be done with the hoe. In the former
method the riding sulky-plow can be
used to great advantage, leaving little to
be done with the hoe.

Mr.. FL. d. Clayton, president of an
agricultural society at Clayton, Alabama,
reports that in that section cotton has
hitherto been almost the only agrieultur-
al product. A few scrubby" cattle are
raised, but of the stock, horses, sheep,
and hogs, possessed by the the owners Of
the soil, SO per cent, are bought else
where Convinced that greater profit,
and much greater independence of the
ravages of insects, of the vieissitudes
of the season, and of commerce, would
result from raising variety Of agricul-
tural products instead of cotton alone,
he is endeavoring to introduce a change
to that effect.
