FARMER AND PLANTER.
INTENSIVE FARMING.
Without Judicious Crop Rotation Intoz-
sive Farming is an Econom-
Zeal Impossibiiity.

Without it, intensive farming is an
economical impossibility. With it
both land and farmer become prosper
Gus. 1t has been often urged and, con-
sidering its vital Importance, little fol-
lowed. Without it, our worn lands
will continue worn and thin. If south
ern farmers would practice ii 20 years,
the productiveness of every acre of up
land would be increased fully 80 per
cent; and even if not pound of fer
tilizer was bought, our lands at the
end of that time would produce as well
without guano as they do now with it.
If this be true, then it is matter OF
great economy.
Why hasn't it been practiced? |
think we can trace as the reason the
same thing that is the cause of the
present worn and rundown condition
of many of our formerly best planta-
tions, to-wit: the undirected negro
tenant. He is the greatest curse in the
south to-day. The negro is the best
farm laborer in the world; but at the
same time the worse tenant-farmer.
His trouble is that he lacks Judgment.
When this is supplied by the white
farmer he becomes success. tits nee
essary for the good of the laborer, land
and landowner, all three, that the
owner plan and direct. If he does not,
he may get his rent in the fall, but his
land will be less valuable. In the case
of negro tenants this Gun best be done
In the rent contract This should al
ways specify the kind of crops to be
planted, and the number of acres in
each, and should require that the kind
of crops on particular fields be changed
yearly. A great improvement would
be to require the tenant to plant Is
acres in cotton, ten acres in corn with
peas between the corn rows, to be
picked and not cut or pulled and five
acres in peas, and to make a two-year
rotation of these crops, putting in corn
and peas next year the 5 acres this year
in cotton. Of coure three-year rota-
ton would improve the land faster
than this two-year plan, but we must
change plans gradually. Too radical
change is not apt to be permanent.
We must learn to walk before we learn
to run.
A farmer who tills his own land
would be foolish to adopt anything
less than the three-year system. 1t re-
qulres less labor per acre, and while it
demands about ten acres more land to
the pillow, it is for this reason more sat
isfactory, and, in the long run, for
more renumerative, even leaving out
the increased value of the land No
one will deny that it is far more salts
factory to make $500 year profit on 80
acres with two hands, than the same
amount on 80 acres with three hands.
This is about the difference between
three and two-year rotation.
No matter in what way you look at it
the three-year rotation for cotton
farmer seems to be as near perfect as a
system can be. For one pillow it is as

Annual Report OF the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission to the
President.
Law Has Accomplished Much
That Its Promoters Had
Anticipated.
Among Other Things 1t Has Pro
NOTED EcOnOmy--Complaints
Of Violation.

WASHINGTON, Feb l5.-The annual
report Of the civil service commission
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1897.
has been presented to the president. 1t
begins with a statement to show that
after an experience of nearly 10 years,
the hopes Of the advocates of the civil
service law, have been largely realized.
In practice, the law has proved to be
constantly exerted and effective force
II the direction of economy.
Considering the few changes in the
service under the merit system, and the
wholesale removals under the patron.
age system. the economy and eff
cheney of the one stands in striking
contrast to the extravaganza and ineffi.
cheney Of the other. Since 1898 (the year
Of the organization OF the commisslon)
the unclassitied positions which have
been subject to political control have
increased in number 81 per cent. and in
cost i3 per cent; while the classified
positions subject to examinations have
remained at standstlll. The large ex.
tension Of civil service rules in May.
1895, TO include positions hitherto un.
classified, the report says. brought to
light 4 number of unnecessary posi-
tions. Quite a number Of these have
been abolished as measure Of economy.
The whole number Of positions ex.
amined during the year was 40. of
, whom 2s. o93 passed. The number Of
appointments were 4,l36. The com.
mission. the report says. has been
steadily making its examinations more
practical. Numerous complaints have
been made Of violation of the rules of
the civil service in the treasury depart.
ment Of justice and the interior depart.
ment. In each case. examinations have
been made By representatives of the
commission, and such cases as appeared
10 be violations of the law We're re.
ferred to the department to which i,
belonged. In each case the commission
has not yet received reply. The re.
port speaks highly Of the promotion
system, based upon the efficiency
record. These have been especially
endorsed by the navy in the work in
the yards. On the other hand the com
mission deprecates the proposition OF
limited tenure Of government offices
pointing out that it would not only i'm
pair the efficiency Of the service. bu
open the door for political influence.

DIET OF THE POOR.

Interesting Report OF tho Agricultural
Department-Novcl Conclusions.
WASHINGTON. Feb. l5.-The result Of
into the food habits of
number Of families in the conRested
districts of New York city In 1895 and
1896 have been made public BY the as.
ricultural department in report Ell.
titled, dietary Studies in New York
City" The general plan of the in.
quiry consisted in visiting number OF
typical families in the worst conGested
portions Of the city and observing the
kinds and amounts Of food which they
bought and the prices which they paid
In many of the families there was no
attempt made to spread an attractive
table, One Of the most common obser.
vations among those who are familiar
with the habits of the poorer classes Of
wage workers, the report continues, is
to the effect that not inconsidera bic
amount of tho prevalence Of intemper.
ance can be traced to poor food and un.
attractive home tables. Throughout
all these dietaries there was shown
very little comprehension Of the actual
Nutritive Value Of tho Food
purchased. the selection apparently be.
ing made according to some whim or
taste. the presence Of the certain food
materials in the market. or because
the housekeepcr had become accus-
toned to purchasing certain kinds Of
food. The larger number Of families
spent more than they really could af-
ford for food, aud yet frequently re.
ccived insufficient nourishment. 1t is
suggested that one Of the best and sur.
est ways to improve the condition of the
poor is to give them practical instruc.
tions and object lessons in the pre- para.
tion Of attractive, yet simple and cheap
foods. The subjects upon which the
women should be instructed include les.
sons upon the most nutritious food ma.
terials and those best adapted in point
of cost and ease Of preparation to the
needs and circumstances Of the family.
and instruction such as shall enable the
housekeeper to prepare simple, whole.
some and palatable dishes from such
food.
