full size, turn them under we'll with u
double plough, and there let them remain
until the spring; run good and heavy
harrow overthe land. run off your cotton
rows, and distribute your fertilizer, bed
up and plant your cotton; and my word
for it, you will make more cotton on the
halfol your present cotton land, treated
i'll this way every other year, than you
have been making on the whole. You
will save one-half of the labor, will have
no more quilted land, and will have your
oat crop extra; will have better teams,
more feed, more pleasure in life. and will
be a better citizen generally.
And now, Mr.. Editor, a little on corn.
We must raise more of it; for even ifa
farmer takes my advise about cotton, he
can't afford to raise cotton to buy corn
with. We can't afford to raise clover
tits too slow; we can't wait for it two or
three years. Let every farmer do away
with clover, and take the common black
pea instead. But now for the corn.
plough the land deep and well, run off
corn rows OH q level, give it some fertili-
zer-foar feet apart is wide enough
plant one row in corn skip one for peas,
and ut the first working of the corn, drill
one half bushel peas per acre in the skip
ped lows; cultivate both we'll with
sweep, and cultivate level (; and after pull
ling the fodder, with double plough list
on the peas, covering vines and all and
let them these remain until next spring;
run deep furrow over the pea vines,
plant your corn in it, throw out the mid
dies Immediately, and plant peas where
the corn was, and corn where the peas
were. You will make by this ten bush
els of corn where you made but one. And
you may continue to plant the same land
i'll corn as long as you live; and if you
will treat it in this way, will leave it bet.
ter by far than you found it.

Rotation of Crops

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIvATGR 81
see that you are trying to induce our far
mers to adopt some system of rotation of
crops; and knowing MS l do, both by ex-
perience and observation, that it is the
only means by which our country can
regain its "onte bcllum" prosperity, 1
am anxious to ado my mite to SO glorious
cause. [ see that some are saving
"cover over our land with with compost"
which reminds me of what II farmer of
our land said, who in answer TO Il friend
who asked him the best method of fimpro-
wing land told him to " stack fodder all
over-it.'-Ilisfriend opened his eyes and
exclaimed, Good gracious! where is the
fodder to come from?" | would like to

Thoughts for the Month.

BY common consent, the South is 60
in to raise a large corn crop this year.
I Everybody seems to be convinced that
Except under peculiar circumstances
it will not do to raise cotton to buy corn
The fact that the price of cotton may be
ruinously low, whilst that ofcorn remains
high, has been recently brought home
with terrible force to the ull-cotton men,
and the farmer with well-flled cribs is
envy of his neighbors. The credit system
is quick sand upon which our agricul.
ture has been built up since the %..1r, and
the men without provisions are those
who have erected the largest structures
upon this treacherous foundation. When
ready o'fegin the operations of n new
year, they find that men and horses must
be fod-provisions must be had upon any
terms the merchant may dictate-and
they think that heavy debts thus con-
tract.d can only be paid by planting
heavilyin cotton. At the end of the
year, the empty crib and barn, as before
drives the poor wretch along the same
downward path; exhorbitant interest OH
borrowedmoney absorbing all the profits
OF bis farm, and in addition yearly max
ing inroads OH his capital, until the mer-
chant takes his mules and his implements
and finally his land The farmer, on the
other hand who has supply of provi-
sions is perfectly independant-th mer-
chant has no holt upon him. Beyond a
little iron for his ploughs, salt sugar and
coffee, and little cloth, he is obliged to
buy nothing. Hei is master, instead of
slave of the situation. this is so.
any one can satisfy himself by inquiring
the condition of the people in those re-
gions Of the South, when, either from
soil or climate, grain is more generally
raised than cotton. A gentleman from
Floyd CO., Ca, recently informed us that
ne had not heard the past year of
single lien given Oh crop in that coun-
try, and as our Georgia readers know.
that is wheat, corn and clover country
cotton never holding the leading posi-
ton. But to return.
Whilst very properly anxious to raise
provisiors at home, let us not forget that
to cultivate corn on poor, unlnunurcd
upland, does not pay, whilst on the other
hand, an acre of bottom land properly
managed, will yield n very handsome
profit. Where avoidab!c, not an open
ditch should intersect these valuable
lands, but blind bitches, over which the
plough can run and corn grow, should
be present whenever needed. How often
do we see the best spots in bottom lands
occupied by open bitches, and the briers
a;.d weeds on their morgins!

After praying and singing with him 8
few minutes, they continued on down
to Sam Oriords which they found

found very kind and courteous. Jim
took his hat Cd and invited the ladies
