FARMER AND PLANTER.
HOGS AND COTTON.
No Valid Excuse for Southern Farmers NOT
Raising Their Own Bacon.

No Valid Excuse for Southern Farmers NOT
Raising Their Own Bacon.
The transition from ''hominy" to
''hog" is easy, but the same arguments
are not appliea BILE. We mean to say
that cheap transportation is not suth-
cient excuse for abandoning all efforts
to 'reise our own bacon" While there
may be but few farmers who ought to
grow wheat, there are but few farmers
who can. be excused for not raising
hogs. They are so easily managed, SO
cheaply fed, so generally exempt from
fatal diseases, and withal so profitable,
that we would rather-as an individual
give up producing corn than raising
hogs. What is true of hogs is still
more strictly and generally true
of milk butter, beef and mutton, chick
ems, eggs. The trouble Is our in
clinations are too strongly in favor OF
cotton. Cotton is King" should read
Cotton is Master" and the cotton
planters are his slaves. 1t is the slav-
ish devotion to cotton as the sole resort
for a money income that has impover-
lshed so many southern farmers, and
| bound them in debtors chains. Think
| for moment of the cheap and fertile
soil, the mild and eduable climate, the
great variety of forage and fattening
crops of. the south-cowpeas, sweet po-
| tatoes, ,chufas, peanuts-not one OF
which can be Produced in the north and
northwest-to say nothing of Bermuda
| grass, crab grass, corn, oats, rye, clover,
| collards, sorghum, etc, which we can
produce just as we'll as they can be pro-
| duced anywhere. Why talk about linn
iting the area devoted to cotton by CO.
| operative effort, or resolutions, or what
not? What do the farmers do with
most of the money they get for theit
cotton, after paying for the labor that
produces it? Why, they buy bacon,
lard, canned beef, canped milk (they do
without butter) good deal of corn or
corn meal, tons of hay, seed oats and
rye, sirup, flour, mules and horses, etc,
nearly all of which they may and
ought to produce at home. What if
every farmer would produce all OF
these things at home, and then add
fruits and vegetables, all in quantities
| suffic icient to supply the country, includ
ing the towns? He would find that he
could make cotton at eight cents a
pound, if necessary. But it would not
be necessary, for this back revolution
of methods would so reduce the area In
cotton, and the total production would
be so much diminished, that the price
would go at once to ten or twelve cents
But we were talking of hogs, and
generally, what is true about bacon is
true of all The home products. We
have gone astray from the good ole
paths. In some things we have done
we'll, in others we have acted unwise
ly, and in none more unwisely than il
giving up the breeding of hogs, horses
and mules; cows, sheep and poultry
Let us resolve to seek again the OLE
paths-to get back into the pruden
ways of our fathers-avoiding thei
mistakes but reaffirming and readopt
ing their wisdom.-Southern Cultiva

Gary IS reported d in the Columbia
Register Of The 8thi inst. as saying.
that which makes it appear that.
the proposition came direct from.
Sheppard himself. The following
is the Intervene.
"A Register reporter yesterday
approached Mr.. Ernest Gary and
asked him for his version of the
sscalling OFF the Edgefeld meeting.
His replyswas as follows:
aOn my return home from the
May Convention the train on
which Governor Sheppard was
also a passenger, missed connec-
tion at Trenton with the train for
Edgefeld. Governor Sheppard
and myself hired a conveyance at
Trenton, and during the drive to
Edgefeld ] stated to him that
iinasmuch as he and Governor
Tillman hadr eccntly. dressed the
peopleof Edgefeld Comfy, and
were we both born and raised in the
County thatit would be useless to
address the people again in SO
short a time. Governor Sheppard
replied that he fully agreed with
me, and requested me to write
Governor Tillman and ascertain
ifthe meeting could not be
dispensed with.
I Immediately wrote the above
facts to Governor Tillman and
submitted the letter to Governor
Sheppard before sending it. He
stated that it was all right.
aGoyernor Tillman replied in
q short time, stating that, in view
of the fact that he intended to
speak at Wise's Ferry on the
Saluda side of the County, he did
not object toshaving the Edgefeld
meeting cancelled. Governor
Tillman's letter was also shown to
Governor Sheppard on the day of
its reception.
aGovernor Tillman had nothing
whatever to do with the cancelling
of the appointment, and simply
acquiescsd in the arrangement
madeby Governor Sheppard and
myself.

Soldiers Prefer Grain Food.

Cornmeal was the grand necessary OF
life to those legionaries who, led by
Cesar, subdued the world, and who
counted themselves starved and were
apt to mutiny if reduced to the "famine
fare" of animal food. Even British
troops have been known to suffer from
an exclusive meat diet, as indeed we
found to our cost in the Zulu campaign
of 1878, while the preference of the Ro-
man soldiery for the vegetable food has
its justification in the experience of the
Russian army. and still more of the
German one in 1870, which carried that
memorable campaign to its triumphant
close On the Erbswurst pea sausage fav-
