The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1877-1885, 1878-08-29

our young farmer friends Just start
ing a grain or so of that cheap
commodity-good advice. Whilst
ours may not, in point of moral
grandeur, equal that some times
given by the great whi;e-hattad'
philosopher and author of What
| Know About Farming" yet we
aver our propinquity to the plow-
handles gives us advantage in po-
sition, and makes ours, at least, |
not lacking in those valuable spices
extracted from commonplace expe-
rience that do sometimes, and
ought always to, give zest and relish
to such an entertainment.
What is farming? On rich land
it is simply that system of planning
and work that will extract the
largest crops from the soil with the
least labor and expense. We have
learned that on poor or ordinary
land, like that the great majority
of us occupy in North Carolina, it
is at first but a cold-blooded, calcu-
lating improvement of the soil,
taking, by the aid of propltious
seasons and b%ountiful atmosphere,
only a very judicious and ecoromi-
cal living from the soil. To reach
paying farming requires a vast deal
of patience, energy and persever-
ance. any beginner who has not
these qualities to perfection, and
who feels an overweaning desire for
Il hasty fortune, had better seek
other employment-he will find
farming slow and uncongenial.
Bright-tobacco farming is, of
course, an exception to this rule /;
that is a gold-mining process, for
improvement of the soil is in this
only "a destructive and not a ere
ative force in the highest success.
1t is in truth more a manufacture
ing process than it is farming. In
view of our premises that farming
is a slow, deep-laid system of i'm
provement of the soil, etc., it may
be readily seen how absurd it is foI
young farmer even to imagine he
has the world in Il sling or
fortune at his fingers ends, IL
some brilliant scheme he has hearC
of Or conjured up in his own brain
Agricultural fortunes are not tn,
work of a day or a decade. Bril-
liant schemes and quick coup d
etats have no place in the genera
farmers form book. A youn
farmer ought to be the most wary
careful, and prudent of all men
When an error is committed, it
so long before the time comes t
correct it. All of his investment
are on long time. A merchar
loses to-day, but an opportunit
may come tomorrow to make
up. A lawyer makes a mistake
but next court he may correct i
A doctor may err in one hour
to-day, but in the next he NAV Oh
owe and APPLY a saving remed.
But not SO with the farmer. /
has to watch and wait the comm
of the seasons. His fortune is
the locked wheel, and the agricl
tural Fates grind exceedingly slo,
and they won't be hurried.
many men start with false ideas
what farming really is, and 30 fl
realize how comprehensive and
acting agricultural success is in
demands. A young farmer is
apt to allow one swallow to ma
spring. He is so apt to allow G
partial uccess In a single bran
to make him believe he comp
hends the whole subject. VII,
ever a farmer feels that he has
hasty fortune in some pet chen

growth and Development
We must use the plOw on les
surface and pillow deeper. that the
inorganic substances with winch
our lands abound may become sol
uble and draw upon the atmosphere
for that element 20 necessary Tor
all grain crops. Legumlnous plants
perform this Office, and should our
lands fail to produce any OF these,
mineral manures must be used IN
the absence Of farm yard manure.
But somebody Is ready to ask.
How are we to get mineral manur
without money: | reply, that | am
in doubt about purchasing manure
for land that will not grow peas.
Now all that | have condemned Is
the share system and the employ
ment Of labor on land that does
notpay a profit.
LThe share system is only adopted
on land on which the farmer IS
afraid to base a promise to pay,
and it is demonstrated that half
the crop IS the dearest labor we
employ and as a proof OF 1t, we
never share the crop OF II best
lands. Is bushels corn, with the
fodder and shucks, are ordinarily
worth II dollars-the J of which
IS 6 dollars. and the labor to Gull
tivate it can be paid for with 3
doses. 20 bushels corn &C., are
worth u dollars and the labor to
cultivate it 81 dollars, but we pay
IS. This proportion relates also
TO wheat and oats. | have paid
20 barrels corn and the fodder and
shucks for the labor to make %
barrels corn being 8 worth $50.
When | would have had all the
work done for less than one-hal1
money. n
But | am told hat we are com
peeled to this course because VIZ
hav'nt got any money.
Then we have got the "Hollow
horn" and will never -recOye
while we pay 100 per cent. more 10
labor than it is worth.
Uneducated cattle doctors CLAIM
that cattle are frequently atfecte'
with a disease called hollowhorl
which is local, confined to the horl
and that the remedy ought to b
administered internally. They Dor
a hole in the horn with a gimble
and fill with turpentine as a cure
Educated cattle doctors inform u
that no-horned cattle are as subJet
to the disease as horned cattle.
Adopting the latter theory, it
, plain that any animal can have til
