a vexed Question
iFiRNIEle.

Our correspondent 'Cop'asl
comes to the front in favor OF tho
Agricultural Lien Law, and while
we are not In accord with his con.
clusions by any means, it Is plain
to bo seen that there are many
things to be SAID both for aud a
gainst its repeal.
In the Legislature OF 1878 the
subject was ably discussed in all
its bearings by the liIncntoI and
gifted TICKER and the no less gill
ted Percy-the former favOlillg AMI
the latter opposing the repeal OF the
,aw. The verdict OF the House was
with Col. PEGGY, whose argument
in favor of the views he then held
was one OF the clearest and most
forciblc overheard by o Legislature
body.
At that time, however, the ma
jority of those who favored or pro-
fessed to favor repeal OF thu law
in fact favored only q partial repeal.
They desired the repeal OF 80 much
of the law as gave the merchant u
right to secure advances by taking
a mortgage or deed of trust on grow.
ing crops, but they were opposed
to denying that right to the land.
lord. 1t was argued chen that
while it might not bs clear that a
total repeal of the low would be
beneficial, it was hardly to be
doubted that o partial repeal, of
the nature referred to, would be un.
just and unfair, because 1t would
force the laborer to buy OF his land.

the benefit Of fcompetition. Buying

reference to the prices prevailing in
the open market.

Advice to Farmers.
NArcHEz DEMocRaT]

To make farmers "self-reliant and
sclf-sustaining,' they need advice,
continuously, and II good deal oft.
For fear they suspect the politicians
who bountifully loffcr It, OF guile and
hulnbug, we will state that We arc
not an office seeker, that we are
marching with the "noblc wool hats"
in the solidI phalanx Of inspiring de-
mocracy, and any advice VIC may offer
i superior to rcproach,
A. farmers as u rule, have never
heard that raising enormous, crops OF
cotton is unproflitablc In Mississippi,
we give them the information gratuit-
ously il they can grasp II; II they con-
tinuc so to plant and presume to think
il pays, let them at tlicirieril. &, y,
We will further remark, and our
language is plain, that ''tlc ginning OF
their crops, for home consumption,
and for which our soil Is peculiarly
adapted. =" should rivct their earliest
and most decided efforts. Corn,
pumpkins, potatoes and pindars, can
all bc consumed by them, and We are
surprised that their attention has so
long been diverted tom this fact.
The purchase Of Of conycnicncics for
kitchen and dairy in the form OF I'M
proved ranges and mtcnt churns,
with the earliest proceeds Of the sale
of miscellaneous crops we earnestly
suggest and claim tins grcatful rccog-
milton of good wives for the same.
Fine grades Of cattle, sheep and
hogs are desirable, they add to the well
being OF the posscssor, ,and the pictur-
c.q,lcness of the scenery; good fences, +,
those made Of four strands Of Gliddcns
patented barbcd wire, with two planks
below, we cordially recommend to
farmers, certain thaVthcsc phcnome-
nal ideas never occurred TO them. I'm
proved poultry, cochin china chickens
bronze turkeys, Aylcsbury ducks and
Toulouse geese, to our unprcjudiccd
eye, appear to meet the RECRUITMENT Of
our model farm, which grand sugcs-
tions are all that is needed to produce.
We would dcprccatc the raising Of
pcacocks and giincas, as noisy and
liable to disturb the morning rest OF
political guests who honor the prem
iscs. In this connection we would
concentrate the notice ~ farmers upon
the glory of thu rising sun, which
shines to make the grass sprin"
and for other ramhiccnt purposes.
lmpugning the motives Of judges
who use free PASSES, hccdlcs-ly assail-
ing the integrity Of the governor, rails
ing hue and cry after railroads n
public nuisance, we would disc0un-
tcnaiicc ~ ilnprOiitablc ana tcndihg to
distract the mind of the average farmer
from his bu Sincss.
At one time we would have consider
cd 1t hcrcsay to hint TO the owners OF
the alluvial land Of the Sunny South,
that they need instructions how to
manage their own, how to become
healthy, and wealthy and wise, but as
politicians impatient Of honcly subur-
ban delights have generously come
forward with entirely disintercstcd
suggestions, we step to the front with
the advice herein contained and offer
il for all it is worth.
