EARLY Corn AND SUMMER DROUGHT
There are those who question the propriety OF
planting corn at all. It does not pay, they
think, and can hardly be made to pay on our
ordinary cotton lands. We do not advocate
the planting of any crop which does not pay,
and cannot be made to pay, and we are not
prepared to say that corn can be made a re-
,munerative crop on every cotton plantation,
but we do feel fully warranted in saying that
there are but few farms which have not on
them more or less suitable corn land; and the
crop is Indispensable and should be grown at
home. till by more direct communication with
the great corn-growing West, and cheaper
TRANSPORTATION, we can more proftably buy IT..
In our hot climate, where droughts are severe
and frequent during the summer, corn should
be planted early, SO as to avoid, in part at
Least. the danger from that source. Early
planted corn may, it is true, be seriously in
1ured by drought, but it is less liable than that
.pIanted later. Some early variety, may be
n1anted with advantage for part of the crop.
Gn level lands, we prefer to plant corn in
checks, but on hilly land, the drill system is
preferable, as if the rows are run around the

Arab Horse MaXims.

Who raiseth and traineth horse for the
Lord is counted in the number of those who
give aims day and night, in private us we'll as
in public. He will find his reward. All his
sins will be forgiven him, and never more will
any fear come over him and dishonor his
heart.
Let your colt be domestcated and live with
you from his tenderest age, and when horse
he will be simple, docile, faithful and Injured to
hardship and fatigue.
To have your horse serve you on the day of
trial, if you desire him then to be horse of
truth, make him sober, accustomed to hard
work and inaccessible to fear.
Do not beat your horses, nor speak to them
in loud tone of voice; do not be angry with
them, but kindly reprove their faults; they will
do better thereafter, for they understand the
language of man and its meaning
If you have long days journey before you,
spare your horse at the start; let him frequent

until he has sweated and dried three times, and
you may ask him whatever yon please; he will
not leave you in difficulty.
Use YOUR horse rs your leathern bottle if
you open it gently and gradually you can east
iy control the water within, but if you open it
suddenly the water escapes at once, and nothing
remains to quench your thirst.
Never let your horse run up or down hill, if
YOU can avoid it. On the contrary slacken
your pace. (Which do you prefer" was asked

Cash in Adyance-Why n0t2

Unpaid subscription bills have long been the
rocks on which newspapers split. In fact, we
can scarcely recall an instance of the wreck of
a newspaper, the mistaken policy of whose
publishers it was to give credit that the disas-
ter-whether caused by bad management or
otherwise-was not attributed to this self-same
cause, and it cannot be denied that with too
many it is one of the causes if not the sole one.
Notwithstanding the disastrous example before
them, considerable number of publishers ad-
here to the evil system, evidently fearing that
its dscontinuance would entail loss of pat
ronage. The greater portion of the financially
well-to-do newspapers, both in city and coun-
try, long ago adopted sounder policy, but
there are still many others who place annually
quite a respectable amount to the wrong side
of the profit and loss account on this score.
Many of these advertise cash in advance, but
lack the courage to enforce it. As an illustra-
ton of the extent to which this pernicious sys-
tenn is sometimes carried, we will cite an in.
stance that came to our knowledge of news
paper published in Boston, which was sent to a
subscriber for twenty-eight years without
cent of payment, at the end of which time
the subscriber being alive and responsible
party, was sued for the amount, and it was re-
covered with interest. Had the publisher
never received penny, the Just verdict would
have been-"served him right" Why pub
fishers should thus continue to give credit year

Maine to Oregon, is zone of those things that
no fellow can find out" There is but one e1-
cuse, that we are aware, ever ofered-"i it can't
be helped" but We are not of those who con-
slider this in any way valid. There have been
newspapers published in communities where
the credit system had firm ot-hold-which,
alone and unaided, have demanded cash pay.

A MAN K1LLED BY TURKEY GoBBLER.-
The Fayetteville, North Carolina, Gazette, of

"PAY1NG CRops."-When planters and
newspapers figure on the subject of paying
crops" as the Macon Messenger and Telegraph
we'll says, they should make their estimates
from more than one standpoint-for home con-
sumption and for sale. AS a rule, it may truth
fully be said that everything useful for home
consumption is a richly paying crop. Grain
needed on the plantation is worth highly
remunerative price there, that is to say, it is
obviously worth the market price of Western
grain and transportation, because were 1t not
produced on the farm, that would be the actual
expense of the substitute. So of long forage
to the extent of the actual needs of the plan
tation. This is the true rule of valuation up
to measure of what must be had to sustain the
farm.
Next, there is standpoint of valuation Ia
ken from an enlightened farm economy. Moth
ing like economy is possible. where less than
the lowest measure of food consumption is
nroduced. That is nothing but ruin. Econo-
nv begins with the production of what is actu-
DIV essential to life. But truer and higher
economy takes in what is necessary to comfort
and enioyment-to q good table-and tat,
healthfil condition both of stock and land.
Meagre supplies, whether bought or produced,
cannot be considered economy. Abundance IS
INDISPENSABLE to health, happiness and pros
perity. Nobody ever saw a prosperous agri-
culture without abundance for man and beast,
and he who merely raises just enough for food
for family, laborers and working stock, will
find his returns of profit to correspond with
his parsimony. There must be plenty of stock
and and plenty for it to eat. And this constitutes
the M second measure of value to be applied to
'iI The tbird-food merely for market depends
on contingencies proximity to certain
and good market-which few Georgia farms
m possess. There are very few, probably, which
can make food crops profitable.
