Farmers Greed.

We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
That the soil loves to eat as
well as the owner, and ought,
therefore, to be well MANFRED.
In going to the bottom OF
things, and, therefore, in deep
ploughing and enough of it.
All the better if it be a SUBJ
soiler pillow.
In large crops. which leave
land better than they found it,
making both the farm and farm
er rich at once.
That every farmer should own
a good farm.
That the fertilizer any soil is a
spirit of industry, enterprise and
MISREPRESENTATION these, lime
gypsum and guano will be of
little use,
In good fences, good farm
houses, good orchards and chill
dren enough to gather the
fruit.
In a clean kitchen, a neat
wife in it, a clean cupboard, a
clean dairy, and a clean con-
tience.
That to ask a mans advice
is not STOPPING, but of much
benefit.
That to keep a place for eve
ry thing and everything in its
place, saves many a step, and is
pretty sure to lead to good tools
and to keep them in good or
der
That kindness to stock, like
good shelter, is a saving of fod-
der.
That it is a good thing to
keep an eye on experiments
and note all-good and bad.
That it is a good rule TO sell
your grain when it is ready.
That it is a good thing to
grow into farming an not jump
into it.
That all farming is summed
up in the manure heap on the
farm.
In enriching the soil accord
ing to its wants.

Management of Manures.

Not many years ago many
farmers declared that manure
in a heap paid better than
money drawing ten per cent.
interest. As a rule, no manure
was applied to land until it was
thoroughly decomposed. 1t
was generally hauled to the
field where it was to be applied
and placed in heaps, to ferment
and rot. The manure made in
the winter was drawn out in the
spring and allowed to remain in
heaps till the time of corn plant
ing the next season. This prac-
tice is now generally abandon
ed, except when the manure is
wanted for a few special pur-
poses, as for raising flowers or
certain kinds OF vegetables.
Scientific men, as well as prac-
teal farmers, agree in thinking
that manure loses its value by
being exposed to the action OF
the elements, and that its gen
eral condition is not improved.
By storing manure the use of it
is lost one wear. and much of its
substance Els wasted. A large
part is was washed away by the
rains, and a considerable por-
ton is carried away by evapor-
alton. During the process of
decomposition considerable
ammonia is formed, which is
diffused in the atmosphere, and
is lost for all practical purposes,
unles gypsum Of sulphuric acid
is employed to retain it. By
blowing the manure under in
the spring, the ammonia that is
formed is absorbed by the soil
above it, and taken up by the
plants as soon as they COM
mence to grow. There is a
great saving of time and labor
in hauling manure directly to
the place where it is to be used,
and by scattering it where it is
wanted. The best farmers no
longer suffer manure to accumu-
late about their barns and
They haul it out dur
ing favorable weather in winter,
using sleds for the purpose
when the ground is covered
with snow. There is no injury |
to grass fields by drawing sleds
over them when the ground is
frozen, and very large loads
can be taken all such times. -

Corn VS.. Cotton.

A writer in the Southern
Farmers Monthly says: an
my vicinity planters are paying
one dollar a bushel for corn on
a credit, payable out of the next
fall crop. If cotton should sell
for seven cents net, it will re-
quire ID ~ pounds to pay for
one bushel of corn. If a man
can exchange his 1000 bushels
of corn for cotton at these
figures he will get I4,57o
pounds of cotton for his corn
crop, or about thirty-six bales
of cotton up north to pay for
the corn that one man can
make. Is there any wonder
that we are as poor as a church
mousea And Bill Arp is about
right when he says: al am
Altered we are a nation of
fools" There has long been
an impression up north, and
even in the south, that we can
not raise stock to profit; that
we have no grass; can't feed
stock; that the flies are too
bad; that we have too many
diseases while the fact is, we
have more and better grass
than the north has. We can
raise hogs, cattle, sheep, mules
and horses for one-half the
cost that it requires up north.
And to fatten the stock for
market it can be done with
peas even on the poor land of
Georgia for less money than it
can be done in the north; and
while we are raising stock, we
are improving our lands instead
OF wearing them out. l am
well aware that there is a
strange fascination in planting
cotton. We sss Il the spring
that $40 a bal ten bales
OF cotton to but from
some cause ee the
