Economy on the Farm.

On the farm, and in all the details
Of rural and domestio life prudence
and just economy of time and means
are incumbent in an eminent degree.
The earth itself is composed Of atoms,
and the most gigantic fortunes consist
of aggregated items. insignificant in
themselves, Individually considered,
but majestic when contemplated in
unity and as whole. In the manage
Of a farm, al needless expen liture
should be Systematically avoided, and
the income made to exceed the outlay
as far as possible. Pecuniary embar-
rassment should always be regarded
as contingency Of evil bodin5, and
if commended against with energy and
perse7 ering fortitude, it must be soon
overcome Debt, with but little hope
of its removal, is milestone dragging
us down and crushing the life-blood
out Of US. Be careful, therefore, in
mourning any peculiarly liability which
does not present clear deliverance
with the advantages which wise use
of it ought always to insure.
A farmer who purchases a good farm
and can pay down one-third of the
price of it, give ? mortage on the other
two-thirds, and Possesses the heart and
resolution to work it faithfully and well, ,
enters upon She true path to success.
He will labor with tho encouraging
knowledge that each days labor will
lessen his indebtedness and bring him
nearer to the goal where he shall be
disenthralled and become freeholder
in its most cheerful sense. But with
out due economy in every department,
in the dwelling as we'll as in the barns
and fields, this gratifying achievement
may not be reached until late in life,
or may beindeGnitcly postponed. a
prudent oversight, therefore, over all
the operations of the farm, in order that
everything may be done that ought to
be done andnothing wasted, will exert a
powerful influence in placing family
on the highroad to an early indepen-
dence.-- Southern cultiyator

ABOUT FARMING.

W. L. Jones, Of the Southern
CaItlca'o., has this to say Of the
Observation-Disclosures in which
many farmers conduct their farms:
CAS- rula, the size Of their
crops is regulated by the number
Of acres of open land they may
chance to have. Whatever hands
and mules and gaano it will take
to cultivate these, they must have
if they can borrow the money or
get advances. Their idea Of profit
seems to be regulated wholly by
the number OF acres cropped, with
little reference to the means re-
quired to do it. Their faith in
poor land seems unlimited, they
plough and bed and plant and hoe,
las hopefully and cheerfully when
not a cent of profit comes in at the
end of the year, ras when a hand
some return is realized. The
truth is they keep no accounts
with their fields or their crops,
and lump their whole business in
a general way, not stopping to
make any careful calculations, and
knowing very little about loss Or
profit. No better proof Of this
ca "A be asked than the extravagant
rates paid for money in Georgia
and elsewhere in the shape Of mer-
chants advances, running from 20
to so and even in some instances
larger percentages. Ordinary
farming, even where very iudici-
ously and carefully conducted, will
not pay exceeding ten per cent On
capital invested. Must not farm
ers then, who Pay forty AMI fifty
per cent for money TO run farms,
go it perfectly blind; Is it possible
to conceive that they ever stop to
balance loss and profit, or look at
debt and credit accounts? We
dwell thus upon an Old theme, be-
cause we are perfectly satisfied
that even a good farmer, in the
sense Of knowing how to prepare
land and cultivate a crop, will
never succeed as he ought. till he
applies strictly business methods
to his operations; keeps accounts
with sePerate fields and crops,
watch every expendIi5ura, COM
pare expenses with gross in
comes, find out certainly the
amount Of loss or profit, and if
anything fails to pay, drop it at
once.

From the Atlanta Constitution We
get the following summary of last year
crop az compiled from the commission
er's report
':The biggest corn crop ever raised
in the state, reaching 36;963,940
bushels-or more than $4,000, 900 blu
shells in excess of the corn crop of the
year before.
In oats there was harvested II ,643,-
482 bushels, or more than double the
oat crop Of 1880.
In wheat an increase of II per cent
over the crop Of he previous year reach
ing perhaps 100000 bushels.
in cotton. No decrease on account Of
the surplus ofother crops. but total
of 942 $3.50 bales, an increase of about
100000 bales, total value of over
$40, 200, 900 for the lint alone, not to
measure the value of the seed.
In pork and pigs more than SO per
ceat of what was needed for the far
msrs of Georgia, was raised in Geor-
gia.
In potatoes the increase was SO per
cent, in sugar cane 25 per cent, chufas
all hay the same, and in fruit and
.ruck larger growth.
The indebtedness of the farmers is
| rs per cent of that of last year. which
means that they have paid up 54 per
ct. of what they owed. And the average
increase of the value of farming lands
in Georgia is IA per cent.

Gle YER PEOPLE.

Albany News.
The defalcation Of State Treas
urer Polk, OF Tennessee, and with
it the degradation Of an honored
and distinguished man, is another
illustration, if ten thousand
would do any good, of the folly of
electing merely clever men to fill
Offices Ct trus} and responsibility.
Col. Polk is described as one Of
the most genial and companiona-
bic Of men, with very little knowl-
edge OF business, and consequent
ly an easy prey to the designing
sharpers who wrought his ruin
Georgia is not without experiences
OF her own in this same line, and
we need not travel outside our
own State to point the moral or
convey the meaning contained in
Folks downfall.
AS a rule to which the excep-
tons are very limited, the capable
and efficient man of business does
not belong to the clover class.
such men have, in gel.eral, little
leisure and less inclination to cul-
tivate the social graces and COM
panionable qualities that enter in-
to the composition Of socially
clever man. The sacrifice, how
ever, of the superior pleasures en-
joyed by the latter are more than
compensated by their immunity
from importantly and relief from
often recurring obligations. 1t is
from the Gradgrinds Of this class
that the successful men Of bust
ness and OF action are made up.
The trouble is, however, that
these qualities are seldom a re-
commentator to popular or ofici-
al favor, and the possessor Of
them are seldom found where thew
are most wanted, viz: in public

CHATTEL MORTGAGES.

Goldsboro, IN. c. Messenger.
"The system of ch>>rel mort

of uncomfortable hardship on the
farmer. The idea seems to pre-

that it Is a curse-bringing ruin and

three-ffths Of the farmers depend

The following words Of wisdom writ
ten by the Hon. 4 H, Il. Stewart, of
Virginia, and which apply with equal
force and emphasis to our own state,
should be read by every parent and
son in the land
Many parents, influenced by false
pride, have encouraged their sons to
become lawyers, doctors and ministers
Of the gospel, under the delusive hope
that these professions opened the path
way to success in life, if not to distinc-
ton. Thsre could be no graver er-
ror han this, The professions are now
crowded to repietiou If evidence
were wanting on this subject, l need
not refer to the large number Of young
men who are now attending the theo
logical seminaries of the various re-
ligious denominations, and to the fact
that there are now, in the law elass Of
the University Of Virginia one hun
dred and seventeen students, aud fifty
seven in the medica depart Nsent,
while but eight have entered the school
of natural history and geology. OF
those who entered the learned profess
sions, few, who possess, more than
ordinary ability coupled with indomi-
table energy and industry, may aehieve
distinctions, while large majority
earn but little more than a bare sub
sistenGe and leave their families in
straitened circumstances.
Nothing has ter@ed laose seriously to
retard the advancement of Virginia in
course of prosperity than the dispo-
gitiou Of our active, intelligent young
men to pi CRATE to other ~tates. They
are more precious to Virginia than sil-
yer and gold. Ehe boss of every Il
terprising and Intelligent young man is
a calamity to the state. 1t is of e.
highest Importance, therefore, that III IL
minds should be disabused of the ia -
lacy that Virginia does not present an
ample field for the exercise of talent
and industry The elements of future
wealth and prosperity are more diver
sified and scattered more proiusely in
every part Of Virginia than in any
Stare of the Tniou. There IS no good
reason, therefore, why her young men
should 90 abroad to seek their fortunes
Let them 60 where they may, they
will find that it is the i1nmutable de-
cree of the Creator, labor is. the price
Of success in every cline and every
pursuit. If they will exercise the
same industry, self denial and econo-
my here which~they are compelled to
practice when they go abroad they will
be quite as prosperous in Virginia as in
the far West. Ii they will study the
history Of those who have left their
native state and succeeded elsewhere,
they will find that it was because the
emigrant threw aside his old habits of
