Substitution of one crop for another may do
in some instances, but cotton cannot be sub.
stituted, proftably, for corn, pease, oats
meats, potatoes or hay, in this country.
The remedy is in diversified farming. 1
haven't time now to mention in detail the
different crops, time nd cost of cultivation
profits on same, etc., but will say that all
Of them will pay, when raised for home
consumption, and pay well, and some of
them will give cotton odds, even as a money
crop, time and cost of cultivation consider
ed.
Stock raising can be made profitable and
pleasant. No country possesses greater nat
ural advantages. Cattle 90 through the
winter without shelter, aud iu a large ma
jority of cases without food, save what they
can pick up for themselves nj the fields Off of
which the crops have been housed. The
writer paid 500 % for a colt that we do not
suppose cost the man who raised it SO 90,
and to-day as good ali one is worth on the
market $50 GO.
We spoke Of the exclusive life led by the
farmer hitherto. We are gfad to say that
the deadlock" is broken here and broken
for all time, thanks to the Farmers ALI
