Refer implements for Culture.

The very great majority of the Southern farmer.
coi.fnc themselves to the familiar shovel and scyapt
tivating their crops. In this respect the difference be-
tween our methods and implements and thosc OF tht
North and East Is very marked.
In the originally free States, where labor has always
been comparatively high, and at the snlne tina all O
It plepurrd by less ignorant white men, 1t has long
beech q foremost object to expand implements Of cul'
ture aud harvest SO Us to secure the largest results
from n given expenditure for labor.
In the South, where labor was supposed to cost
nothing but the Keep Of the lab"rer, we have been
slow to realize the Importance Of lab0r.sayIng plans.
There has, however, been considerable advance made
on this line Of late years. We remember very well
when 1t was the almost univcrs i practice to put threr
burrows To each thrrc.fOOt cotton row at each rlow-
ing; and not unfrrqncntly fur. and even five fur
rows, became necessary. The lnte David Dickson
contributed very greatly to stimulate the expression
of cul,ivsting implements, but confined himself nj.
most exclusively to the winged sweep" which, with
its long point and wide expanded wings, calnc to be
known as the dickson Sweep"
Such u sweep is o good implement OF It's kinal, but
certainly inferior to some vt the "culiivators' now
being introduced to some extent In the South, and
wlich have long been used in other parts Of the conn.
try. The disihpra.Un Is a c%ultivaior Tint will stir tho
inches In lepth. and that will "clenn out" n three or
four foot ruw Mt one trip, Or q SIX foot row nt two
trims. Some seek tn accomplish this by n cultivator
that will 'strnidle' the row and stir the Soil. on each
side. tD the centre of tho middle. Others, like most
of In. cxuandiD. cullivatUrs and harrOws. are run a.
together between the rows. The first site the row OF
plants more perfectly, while the last, perhaps do mure
perfect work In the middles.
: Whatever the implement, or It's peculiar method Of
opcration, 1t will not perform satisfactorily unless
the land BE- comparatively FREQ Of trees and stnmps.
This is now getting to be the condition of most Of
the lands In the older Stutcs-enst of tho Chattahou-
cbce-anl farmers cMltivnting such lands, nc no long.
er excusable In the following the old, slow methods.
The same remarks are also equally applicable to
harvesting implements. -.
Grain ~"cradles," hand rskes, scythes, etc., should
give place to tho horse power reapcrs, mowers, as
fast rs practicable. 1t is only by the use Of such i'm
proved implements and machinery that the Western
farmer cnn afford to Iny high prices for nianna! labor
md grow wheat and corn at the current prices.
Think Of m Illinois or Kansas farmer paving twenty Or
thirty dollars per month for a laborer, culttrating corn
according tn the methods still In the use on mnny
f1rins In the South r. d. EEpDlSG.
