Farm Hints for the Month Of May

The farmer must "push things" in
! the corn field this month. The corn
crop will require its second working,
and it should be done well and thor
oughly. Corn properly worked at
this season, is almost sure to make a
good crop. Do not neglect this impor-
tant crop for cotton only brings from
5 to12 cents per pound, and you can
not afford to buy corn at such prices
to make cotton.
There are certain indispensable re-
quisites to success in growing cotton.
The first is, a thorough preparation of
the soil before planting. The next,
is to secure good stand as early as
possible and the next TO keep out Of
the grass. Don't wait for the grass to
get firm hold, but by frequent plow-
ing and hoeings, prevent it from get
ting start bearing in mind, the of
tener, you stir the soil, the better it
will be for the crop. Do not stop for
dry weather; but rather. the dryer the
the weather, the more frequent should
be the workings. The great secret of
success in cotton planting, and in fact
any other kind of culture is, in the
frequent stirring of the soil during the
growth of the crop.
AS to the method of working your
crops, that will depend upon the season
and the kind of soil you cultivate.
No advice can be given that will be
applicable to all farmers and all loca-
lities, over ar extended area of coun-
try. We can only say on that point,
keep your land as clean and as finely
pulverized as possible.

many of them asking where lands can
be purchased, and at what price. To
answer these questions satisfactorily,
we have determined to open book in
our office in which to record the de.
scription, price, and all information
concerning any farms for sale that may
be sent US as an advertisement in the
INDICATOR AND News. We will
devote column or two to advertising
lands for sale at the rate of SIS for ten
lines per month. A great many

Farmers should Always Have
Written Contracts with Labor
ers, Renters, Etc,

This is a matter of business in which
many farmers and landowners are re.
miss, and we deem it of so much inn
portance, that we protest in this ar.
ticle against a continuance of the error.
Many contracts for labor on the
farm and the rent or lease of land are
made simply verbal, and left to di.
versity of minds and memories to re-
tain them in their accepted forms.
On settlement they have as many YER
sions, as there are memories interested,
and they are often so adverse as to
cause great trouble and result in cases
of litigation, which are always disas-
trous, to all the parties concerned,
save and except the legal fraternity.
To prevent this calamity, let all
contracts for labor, rent, lease, etc., be
reduced to writing, thus relieving treac-
herous memories of a great response
bility and the lawyers of money cases
in the courts.

Cotton Market.

This market is still depressed, and
the best opinions are that it will not
advance, but gradually decline. The
spectators are generally brokers; the
demand for manufactured goods is
very limited, and mill owners, with
the fact of another crop in the ground
and new cotton to come in few
months, are only buying to fill orders
for goods. 1t looks as if we are to
have repetition of the markets of
1847, when middling sold for &c per
pound. This will run India and Egypt
out of the market, as it did then, and
American cottons will then 60 up.
Our advice to Patrons and Farmers,
we reiterate, plant cotton on basis of
not above 10c per pound, and raise
lots of grain.

letter is addressed to the County Su-
perintendent of Education:
Your attention is called specially to
the education of the colored children.
The State Superintendent is impressed
with the conviction that our highest
duty to the State, to humanity and to
posterity lies in this field. Be careful
about the teachers you certify to these
people. They should have good teach
.ers and good teaching. 1t would be
very gratifying to see our young men
and young women, who have been well
raised and carefully educated, and
who are seeking employment, give
themselves to work the rewards of
which will be the same in money as in
white schools, with the additional COM
pensation of contributing to the calls
of pure philanthropy. The future
of this country depends largely upon
the future Of the colored population,
and the common schools are and must
be the means of their elevation as they
are the hope of this people. Impress
your teachers with the duty Of in
structing the colored children in the
obligations they owe to society, and
the responsibility imposed upon each
individual Of the community to main
tain good morals and good order.

of the black race against the old peo-
pie of the South. In no one thing
has there been more persistent effort,

The Grange, Its intellectual, and
Social Teachings.

/
The Grange, is a society. made up
of farmers and their families, whose
comparative isolation has heretofore
excluded them from the enjoyment
and benefits Of companionship. 1t
brings them togetherin its meetings and
is destined to produce great revolu-
ton in the habits and modes Of think
ing of our rural population. 1t EN-
braces among its members persons Of
experience, ability and cultivation, as
well as the inexperienced and less Gull
tivated, it affords the one, an opportu.
nifty to distribute Of his abundance Of
mental wealth and experience to his
less beautifully supplied neighbor and
the other to gather of his abundance
and store up to his future advantage.
We judge ofthe future by the past.
The fact has been clearly demonstrated,
that commiDgling of different minds
and tempers, particularly where both
sexes are included, frequently converts
what would often times be rude as
semblage, into pleasing beneficial and
moral meeting. We speak Of both
sexes, as the Grange unlike other So
cieties, includes both, and in tits par
ticular at least, must command the res
pect of all, as the moral and refining
influences of the female mind are neces-
sary for the purity and success of any
great undertaking.
The gifts of heaven are not all bes,
towed upon one individual, nor has
each one always the same. Some are
rich in one gift, some in another, and
some have had better opportunities for
civilizations than Others. God in his
providence has diversified our talents,
but at the same time, has given Us the
power to cultivate all, thus showing it
is our duty to improve our faculties
when opportunities offers, What bet
ter way can there be for improvement
than by mingling in social relations,
with those Of learning and experience,
in the Grange?
Pride and jealousy are too often in
the way of improvement either mem
tally or socially, and how deplorable
it is, that such spirit has so strong
hold upon all classes Of society. This
condition or state Of mind we hope to
ameliorate amongst the farmers. In
the Grange all are upon level in the
work of the order, which is one step
towards the object in view, and as time
rolls on, the meeting together and in
terchange Of kindly thoughts and SEN
timents. will do much towards binding
in the bonds Of unity and friendship
all in our Union of States, as well as
in our order.
Faithfulness in brotherly love, cha
rity toall, and an abiding trust in God,
should be the ruling elements of our
Order, and if we are all true to these,
what nobler incentives to work in the
good cause, for the elevation education
and protection of the farmers.
