UNION AND AMERICAN.
FARM AND GARDEN.
THE RURAL SOUTHERNER AND
PLANTATION.

These valuable agricultural journals
have been revived and united in At
lanta, Ga, and the price for e monthly
put at a dollar a year. In clubs of ten
subscribers 1t is sent for SIS, postage
paid, which is only 66B cents per copy.
The thousand Oranges in Tennessee
VIII not naturally want Southern agri-
cultural works out of the State; and in
that case, We can recommend the
Rural Southerner and Plantation as
worthy of confidence a~ndperusaL. The
enterprise is In the hands of the South
ern Publishing Company, and as they
have a thousand active agents in the
field selling books, and have wisely put
the Plantation at a low price, its sue
cess is assured. For twenty-five cents
one may get the paper three months on
trial.

TO be appiled as the gross E5CeIPls VI
my labor and earnings on the farm.
There aIe items in the above years
work which do not appear, yet they are
Of great Importance. What is the
value of the manure derived from
1850 bushels of corn fed to hogs, care
fully saved and most skillfully used on
the farm? One cannot fairly estimate
the difference In results In the course
of life time, whether a farmer wastes
all fertilizers or fails to make any,
steadily impoverishing his land, or
starts with ten cows for dairy purpose,
working all roughness into manure
and hogs IN proportion, consuming
much corr and soul milk. Science
and industry, happily combined, pro-
duce on the farm a great deal of ma
nure, which really costs nothing, SO
that the steady growth of fairness in the
soil is simply the fruit of agricultural
wiGdDm

SCIENCE WITH PRACTICE IN
FARMING.


Mr.. 4. D. Kent, of Elkhart, Iowa,
sends to the Western Farm Journal an
account Of his first years operations In
farming after studying agriculture
four years in the Iowa Agricultural
College and taking a diploma He
thought he could make $1,000 the first
year by his skill and labor on a farm,
but his professors told him if he cleared
expenses he would have no reason to
complain. The land he cultivated had
been under the pillow fifteen years, and
was "badly run down" 1t is best to
let this 'sbook farmer" state his facts
in his own words:
1 purchased a team, the necessary
farming utensils, took to myself a wife
and secured the amount of land that I
thought I could tend, which was thirty
acres for corn, twenty for fax, twenty
for wheat, ten for oats and one for
gardening. I startled out TO do the
work myself as near as possible. L
raised the entire crop with the assist
ance Of ten dollars IN hired labor and
six days work with a man and team.
Ny brother and 1 bought a reaper IN
partnership and exchanged work, so
that l harvested and marketed my en-
tire crop of small grain and paid only
four dollars and s~eventy-hve cents for
hired help. My corn averaged forty
five bushels per acre, fax ten, wheat
twelve and q half and oats thirty.
In connection with the farming, l
bought, on time, sixteen head Of COWS
and some hogs. From this source l
raised fifteen calves and fifty pigs.
Now / will give an account Of sales
