lsaYIy Cultivation.

As soon rs Il planted crop that re-
quires cultivation appears above the
ground IT should be cultivated, not only
to destroy weeds, but to encourage the
growth OF the crop. Early cultivation
greatly hastens the progress OF vegeta-
ton, keeping the soil warm, moist, and
mellow and is, therefore, very advisa-
bic. But the great danger is from
soon smother the young crop. What
could be destroyed by a light stroke Of
the harrow, pillow, hoe, or eultivator,
quickly takes firm hold Of the soil, and
is soon after eradicated with difficulty.
In the meantime it has robbed the legt
innate plant of sustenance, and has
dwarfed and stunted it. The time for
cleaning cultivated crops should not be
put off, The early season has pushed
forward weeds as we'll a. crops, but If
left alone the weeds will get ahead of
the latter What would to-day require
but an hours easy work, may next week
need several days hard labor. This is
most noticeable of the garden, but is
equally true of the field. One light
stroke Of the steel hand rake may clean
a garden row from newly sprouted weeds
which could only be hoed out with diff
Guilty after two or three days neglect
So stroke from Il properly-iitted har-
row or cultivator may clean the corn or
potato rows in the field, which will call
in few days time for much hand la
Dor. "The hand of the diligent maIleth
rich" and il does this in no way more
certainly or effectively than by prompt
ness of action in orr daily work. The
present forward season and the moist
weather render these remarks more per
tinent and timely.

The Cow Pea.

Among the crops that should receive
more attention from Southern farmers is
the cow pea. Ii thrives on all soils, and
succeeds under greater neglect and less
cultivation than any crop grown in the
South There are a large number of
varieties. and though some others are
wConsidered better tor table use, the
black is the most popular for Il field
crop, having the property of keeping
sound and good on the ground all win
ter; may be sown broadcast and plowed
in. or in drills two and half feet apart,
admitting of cultivation after wheat and
oats 10 he plowed in again, when in
again, when in bloom, for green manur-
ing, or allowed to ripen a crop, which is
usually gathered by hand picking. And,
again, they make most excellent food for
horses and COWS, If cut just as the first
pods are formed, and fed green or cured.
The roots will then Immediately send
up another growth that can be turned
under fer the benefit of the next crop.
Probably, however, the most profitable
use 10 which they can be turned is to be
fed down 10 hogs. causing them to lay
on flesh rapidly, though this will not be
so firm and solid as corn fed pork; but
week or two on corn before Strengthening
remedies that defect. Cow peas are
also valuable as a catch crop among
corn, often producing fine return when
dropped in at the time the corn is laid
by. In fact, they are a very important
item on every Southern farm, and
should be planted wherever there is any
vacant land. and even as late as August
first. and utilized in some manner. If it
is not desirable to make use of them in
any Of the above ways, they are always
in good demand in market at fair prices.

SHEEP.
On The Exhausted Plantations of
the South.

Capitalists in this country are extraordi
narily ignorant of the extensive field now
opened for speculation in real estate, OF
they would take advantage Of the present
opportunity to possess themselves of the
old cotton plantations, and thereon grow
mutton and wool, for they could make ten
times more by wool than by cotton and
get all the mutton as an extra profit.
l am perfectly certain, if | had the
control of a large tract of land, that,
without the aid of a single white man,
and without any assistance in buying or
selling, | could stock these deserted plan
tations with sheep and put in charge ofthe
negroes, so as II have sheep husbandry
established on forty thousand acres, and
in twenty wears make more money than
A. T. Stewart, Jacob Astor and the
Vanderbilts combined; for | would ex
tend till millions would be made annual
". There would be a great advantage
here over the English colony of Australia,
vet their sheep are more numerous than
in this much earlier settled country.
Statistics have proved that in the
South during the last three years wool
has paid sixty per cent. for growing,
while cotton has not paid more than five
to seven per cent; and then it must be
recollected that the sheep have been man
aged on such poor, miserable system
that double this amount of profit could
be made by an enlighted method of treat
ment, and mutton of the very best quail
ty sold annually, which would enhance
profits far beyond anything the present
Western sheen owners have any idea of
Mutton and wool would produce more
millions than cotton ever did.-George
Gardner, in Rural New Yorker.
