Hrk for the Honth.
Georgia is a large slice of this green
earth, and when we attempt, in a gene
ral wav, to lay down rules of manage
ment or domestic economy, without con
sidering peculiar and local conditions,
there is danger of inappropriateness
and failure in their practical workings.
But we must prescribe for the average
of cases in a broad domain which con
tains a multitude of varying conditions
and peculiar necessities. We then sug
gest that the mouth of January be ap
propriated by our brother Grangers,
first, to a close and severe self-exami
nation, a self-review honest and un
sparing. Let us resolve that past er
rors must be abandoned and anew way
of life on our farms adopted; especially
let every farmer in all Georgia resolve
that his profession being as honorable,
to say the least of it, as any other,
shall be followed like every other,
without substitutes and not vicariously.
The lawyer works by taxing his own
brain and not another man’s ; so does
the doctor, so the hard-tasked editor;
the preacher cannot delegate his labor,
and we, the fanners, must not suppose
that an ignorant and utterly unfaith
ful negro, or in Let any sort of an
employe, good or bad, can possibly take
our places. Then, let us look to it that
there be no waste; waste is not only
sinful, but it is very foolish. If we
would not only work by rule, but issue
to man and beast the fruits of our
toil by rule and measure also, it would
be far better for us. Let the grand re
form for 1876 be no more haphazzard
work, but let everything done on our
farms be ordered well and by a rate
that must and shall bo adhered to.
Speaking from experience, let us ad
vise that we begin this sort of system
atic life on our places, by adopting a
rule that no implement, no useful thing
on the farm, is to be out of place; have
a place for everything; let every labor
er, or child even, about you know that
fact, and, then, like the laws of the
Medes and Persians, let your rule be
enforced to the bitter end.
If after you hare ordered this duty
of replacing everything where it be
longs and it is neglected, take no
apology or excuse for neglect or failure,
but now, right now, demand that your
rule be complied with. We know a
farmer who can go to his barn and at
the dead hour of the night, and in
utter darkness, hand you the saw, the
hatchet, in fact, the smallest tool you
can call for which he has. Of course,
larger and more valuable things are al
ways at hand and in place. Our friend
says that the moral effect of this sort
of order is of incalculable value, and per
meates his whole business and inter
ests. Well, how are we to begin this
life, so strange and untried to many of
us. First, by the purchase of a blank
book in which every important item of
daily work done and to be done, is
jotted down ; let that book show, and
no guessing about it, when you began
to break such a field and how it was
broken, when and how it was planted,
and even let this record of our year's
labors aud fortunes, show the date of
birth of every animal born on your
farms during the year. Just stop and
think how much of all that which
passes for done on our farms during the
working season we forget and must
guess at it if we would recall.
What would become of the merch
ant, manufacturer, contractor, or in fact
of any man but the farmer, if this
scatter-brain life was relied on. We are
sure tha: tilling the soil must be the
best assured business on the face of the
earth, or all who follow it, as we have
intimated, would be inevitably ruined.
But we cannot pursue this thought
further at this time. January is the
great occasion for planning for huge
manure heaps. We should avail our
selves of every resource. Let our cow
pens and horse stalls be kept littered
knee deep in all sorts of absorbing and
enriching material —such as leaves and
pine straw, corn stalks, and in fact al
most any vegetable refuse. If we have
rough land, covered with stubble and
after-growth, this is the fit time to
turn all this under, and right here let
us advise every small farmer, who has
a yoke of oxen, to do all heavy winter
breaking of land with these, saving the
horse and mule for the brisk move
ment of cultivation. No work stock is
so well suited to the heavy breaking of
land as the patient ox. When cultiva
tion begins, or rather planting, turn
your steers into the woods or pasture
to get flesh aud strength for October's
work aud hitch up the horse and mule
team.
If vou have not manured and turned
over the garden spot in December, be
sure to do so in January. We may
have no freeze this winter, for it seems
we have exchanged winters with Flor
ida ; but if we should have really cold
weather and our gardens are turned
over now, the egg of the cut worm will
be infallibly destroyed, and we will just
as surely escape this vexatious pest.
This we have fully tested; besides, if
manure, we care not how heating it
may be when first applied, lies and mel
lows in the ground three months all dan
ger of firing is avoided. We should
plant Irish potatoes on the “ lazy bed”
plan in January; have the land rich and
well broken, lay off for planting two
and a half feet between rows and drop
eighteen inches in the row and cover
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
with two scooter furrows; use for a
big crop in the lay-off row, cotton seed
and land plaster, a little salt, and then
cover not less than eight inches in pine
straw, and such potatoes as will be
produced were never seen or imagined
by that man who never tried this plan.
Don’t forget the orchard, scrape away
a small basin around the crown of each
peach tree, this retards blooming and
gives the borer fits ; with a bit of hoop
iron rub off the moss and rough bark
from the pear and apple trees, rub their
bodies with soft soap, mulch with a
large hamper basket of oak leaves, aud
then add ashes and lime, one gallon at
least to the tree, and there will be [no
more complaints heard about fruit trees
not paying and not yielding. No man
is a farmer, in our judgment, who does
not include every inch of orchard he
has as a part of his crop.
•
For the Georgia Grange.]
PORK.
Leak Grange—l desire to say something
concerning the la!lacy of the idea'that bought
pork is cheaper than that raised at home.
It is gratify in- to see that the cotton mania,
which has so loin? prevailed in the Southern
States, where the cultivation of cotton has er
joyed an almost exclusive monopoly, is gradu
ally subsiding. The high price which this
staple has been commanding, and the compar
ative cheapness of breadstufis in the West, has
deluded the mass ol the planters into the be
lief that more money would be realized by
raising cotton alone, than by diversifying their
crops. Doabtles too, the instinctive propensi
ty to take what does not belong to them, with
that unnatural fondness for fresh swine flesh in
particular, so characteristic of the freedmen,
has compelled many planters to abandon the
raising of hogs altogether.
Mr. W. B. H. Shivers, a merchant in our
viliage, has demonstrated the fact that the
outlay in raising pork at home, and that, too,
upon corn at one dollar per bushel, is less than
in buying it from drovers. It is well enough
to state, however, that Mr. S., notwithstanding
the credit he deserves for the wise and, as we
trust, profitable example he has set, does not
arrogate to himself the honor of an adept in
the management and raising of hogs. His
crop is usually gauged to supply the wants of
his family alone, which unfortunately, consists
of but himself and his amiable and excellent
lady.
Mr. 8., as is his practice, purchased a pig,
common stock, wighing eighteen pounds, for
which he paid one dollar, just twelve months
ago. The young poker was only a month old
at that time. For the first month or two, in
addition to the corn that was given it from the
commencement of the feeding, it had the
slops, or dish water, which would naturally be
very little in a family consisting of but two
persons. Up to the first day of June the pig,
being a pet, was very readily induced, by plac
ing a handful of corn before him on the plat
form of a Fairbanks scales, to step on and be
weighed. The weighing was done once a
month, and by reference to the register kept
by Mr. S., we find that there was an average
daily gain in weight of three-fourths of a
pound. Its gross weight was one hundred
and forty-seven pounds at that time, after
which its extreme obesity and difficulty of lo
comotion prevented any further weighing.
The animal was never confined in close quar
ters, but allowed the liberty of a yard of ordi
nary size. On the eighth' day of December,
twelve months precisely from the day the first
food was given it, (the weather being favora
ble), and just before it was slaughtered, the
gross weight was found to be three hundred
and ten pounds. At the second weighing, after
dressing, it netted t%o hundred and eighty
three pounds. The whole expense, including
the cost of the hog, was s2l 07. From this it
is seen that the cost per pound, gross, was a
little over six and three-fourths centß, and the
nett cost not quite seven and one-half cents.
This experiment establishes two important
facts: First, that farmers are greatly imposed
upon in the exorbitant rates they are required
to pay for imported hogs by the breeders of
fancy stock, when, if they would only take
the trouble to look around, they might pro
cure as good or belter breeds, ready acclimated,
from their nearest neighbors at a nominal
price ; and secondly, that it is cheaper lo raise
the meat necessary for our own consumption,
even if we have to feed the hogs on the most
expensive food. J. T. A.
