Southern FarminR.

The custom which has prevailed so
long among the planters of the South of
devoting their attention solely to COT
ton and tobacco, rather than to a diver
siied system of agriculture, has been
attended with many evils, and it is only
OF late that the farmers of that section,
as general thing have begun to see
the Importance OF making q change.
With soil we'll adapted to the pro-
ductlon of cereals, and with very super
lor advantages for raising of all kinds
OF live stock, the South is to large ex-
tent dependent upon the West for its
breadstuff and provisions. 9th four
teen Southern states only two produce
enough wheat to meet their own needs.
while the shortage for all the states
last year was over 1000, 900 bushels;
and as the South is compelled to paw a
high price for it's wheat, the aggregate
amount that was paid out BY the
South for wheat alone, from Sept. /:
1881, to August 81, 1882, was probably
fully 800, 100000. No record is OBJ
tainable OF the amount of corn imported
into the South, but we think that it
would hardly fall below Csc, 600, 600 in
value year, and it may, perhaps, be
even more. OF neg products the South
took last year from the West about $72-
OOO, 600 last year, and it may. perhaps,
be even more. OF hog products the
the South took last year from the West
about $71 100000 worth. Thus for
these three items of wheat, corn, and
provisions. the South pays the West
about $177, 100000. In view of these
enormous figures, there need be no WON
der why the South has not grown rich
rapidly; the wonder is that the South.
ern agriculturists have even done as
we'll as they have. The latest reports
from the South point to a growing
change in sentiment, and indicate that
at last the farmers of that section are
awakening to the necessity of diversi-
fled crops. When the South produces
her food-stuffs in addition to her cotton.
she will be the richest agricultural
country in the world; and by that time
she will likewise be the centre of vast
manufacturing and mining industries.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
A Word About CellaPs.

Good Housekeeping, in its second
number, treats once and again of damp
cellars. Thus F. H. Rowley says:
''Here is the house in which I am to
live. The first question that occurs to
me as cross the threshold with my
family is this: Are the conditions here
conductive to health or disc ase? How
shall 1 answer the question? 1 shall

| know, are imperatively demanded
there. One is, that it shall be absolute
~ free from all dampness; and the
other, that it shall be scrupulously
clean: No care in the upper part Of
the dwelling, no precautions taken
there, can free me from constant vigil

dark, ill-ventilated, damp hole, what
follows? Silently, by day and bv
night, the moisture creeps up the walls.
pervades the whole atmosphere of the
house, enters every closet and sleeping
apartment, and soon the physician IS
called; the familyis ever being troubled
with sore Threats, rheumatism appears.
and meanwhile we wonder what the
matter can be. Now add to dampness
filth, decaying vegetables, accumu-
lating rubbish, then diphtheria and
fevers follow, and at last death comes.
and consolation is sought in the mys-
terry of Providence -
wholesome advice is found: ''Do not
forget the cellar during house-clean-
ing days. Though the Parlor, and sit
t1ng-room, and dining room, and kitch-
en-, and pantries may be as clean as
whistle and as neat as wax if the
cellar be not carefully and thoroughly

the cellar Is left dark. damp and dirty,
it harbors smothered pestilence, Open

and if you can coax raw or two Of

The openings into cellars are far too
small as rule. like the system of
placing an area outside the back of
the cellar, with door as large as an
ordinary kitchen door. If this be op-
ened frequently and left opened in the
dry weather, and the grating at the
other end be open, there is some chance
OF having a dry and healthy cellar, at
least if any place entirely underground
can be healthy.
