Diversified Farming.

On one OF the Christmas days VI
read with genuine Interest farm
er's journal and have been wondering
ever since that our farmers Of South
side Virginia should continue 10 grow
tobacco 10 the exclusion Of other crops
We need not say that it II the most
exaciing Of all crops and the verdict is
that IL is generally Improbable. some
farmers 10 make money on tobacco
but their name j. not legion. The
Irish potato crop on the contrary when
1t is properly managed is sure money
maker. The work is all done with
the pillow aud harrow, and now that
the bugs are 80 easily controlled there
Is no reason why this shouldn't be-
come a leading crop in this section Of
Virginia. IL is no unusual crop thet
will yield $50 an acre aud that must
be satisfactory profit. And once more
We beg TO say that the apple is being
sadly neglected. A friend, just from
New York, showed us the other day
two apples for which be paid 3j cents
each. On the same day We bought n
peek Of Southside Virginia winesaps
IN Farmyille store, and there was
not one that WASH { better eating APP
pie than were those costly New York
specimens. And il is folly TO say tina
the winesap cannot he grown 10 PEI
lection in this portion Of Virginia.
And we need not add, as Mr.. +. o.
Sandy has SO often said, that the hay
crop is the'Prince Of crops for this sec
ton. lie has been cutting four tons
TO the acre. and that means $50 an
acre, wherea, if the farmer made 30
bushels Of wheat to the acre Il would
not mean in money more than $50.
And why are We neglecting stock
raising well-nigh altogether? There
isn't farmer who couldn't care for
few sheep aud majority Of them
should have old hams for sale AZ
Christmas approaches.
And shall the poultry yard be neg
ected when eggs are like dollars and
turkeys worth their weight in green
backs
While the world is making new
resolutions for the new year, we in
iulge the hope that our farmers may
hink on these things aud determine
10 free themselves from the clutches

which command profits and are not

women. They see the homes where
alone their public cares are soothed

feel the romance, the poetry, the senti-
