What a Southern Farmer Can DO,

He can raise from 200 to 300 bushels
Of sweet potatoes or from 100 TO 400
bushels of Irish potatoes to the acre,
and for $50 he can build a house that
vii! keep them the year round.
lie can plant one acre in artichokes
and fatten fifty hogs on them; the
hogs can do their own digging and
waste nothing. He can raise all kinds
of stock 100 per cent cheaper than it
can be done further north.
lie will not have to fertilize his land
to make it yield good harvest, al
though here, as elsewhere, judcious
fertilizlng generally pays.
He can run farm without mort
gage on it.
He can raise finer fruit, greater
variety and more Of 1t than any other
country In the world.
He can have vegetables on his table
the year round.
He can plant one acre in cane and
make 200 gallons of beautiful, clear
syrup, with no sorghum twang to it.
Bees require no attention further
than taking what you wish.
Wet laud sowr in red top forms an
everlasting meadow of finest hay In
the world.
One bale OF cotton Is the average
yield. although one and half bales
per acre is not an uncommon crop.
There has never been a total failure
OF crops since the war, and but few
partial ones.
One hundred peach trees can be
planted to the acre, and three to five
bushels OF choice fruit per tree can be
counted on after the third year.--Cot-
