The Farmers’ Index. All letters intended for the Editor of this Department should be addressed, “Farmers’ Index, Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga.” IMPROVED FARMING. A farmer owning 100 acres of inferior land, with poor buildings, poor fences and poor stock, has no business buying more land. He has no excuse for buying land at any price, while he can make a much better investment for his money, bv improving the land he already has, in building fences, repairing buildings, or improving his stock. The farmer who raises 1,000 bushels of oats from 50 acres, should not produce 2,000 bushels bv sow ing twice as many acres, but should im prove his land and get the 2,000 bushels from 50 acres. A farmer who works 100 acres of land and desires to increase his income, and attempts to do so by increas ing the size of his farm, before he has tried to increase his income by improved methods of farming, should o'uit the bus iness.” We clip the above from a long article, (which we wish we could give entire; in the Country Gentleman. The argu ment is in favor of h ! gh farming— the in tensive system, instead of the exetnsive. Accustomed, as we of the South were,for generations past, to extending areas ac cording to the natural, or other increase of slave laborers, it is difficult to realize that a prosperous farmer can confine him self year after year, to the same a:ea and grow richer. We were used to estimat ing wealth by the number of acres of land, and the number of slaves, instead of by the value of each acre, and the clear profit of each hand. It is a remark able fact, tnat a very large proportion of the wealthy planters of the South were made rich by the natural increase of slaves. We have only to turn our eyes to the densely peopled countries of the old world, ami to the Middle and East ern States of the Union, to realize that a farmer may be prosperous and become wealthy without extending the area his farm during a lifetime. It is done bT draining, deep plowing, high manuring, clover, rotation of crops, etc., and a more rational system generally, looking to the constant improvement of the soil, as the leading object (as an investment for fu ture returns) and incidentally, to get as much from it annually, as may be neces sary for a comfortable subsistence. The increasing value of the land, consequent upon its increasing productiveness, may be regarded as a reserve fund, which will not interfere with declaring a handsome annual dividend. But the practical question is, how to do it; how to let go one system and take hold of the other. From successful ex perience, we can give no general rule, as we never accomplished the change our self, but we may safely say that it must be done gradually, if the farmeris totally dependant on his farm for a living. He cannot afford the risk of serious loss which might result from error of judg ment and experience, in attempting, at once, to entirely subvert the “good old way.” There being little to learn from neighbors, who are no better farmers than himself, he, of necessity, must re ; sort to books which treat of farming, and ’agricultural papers. He must repeat the successful experiments of others, adopt ing the good and rejecting the bad. He must not be unmindful of small details remembering that every successful sys tem of farming is made up of avast num ber of small things Every farmer is aware of hundreds of small omissions and instances of habitual neglect. He needs no teacher to point them out. Thev are sometimes called “small leaks.’’ Commence at once to stop these leaks. This work can be done without risk of loss, and will result in immediate bene fit. Save, carefully, all the manure from all the stock kept on the farm. See that < they are comfortably housed during in clement weather. Improve their quali ty by careful selection of good breeders. Make every bushel of corn and every bundle of fodder, and all the food con sumed on the farm, yield their full value, j Take scrupulous of wagons, tools, I etc. Remember that a “dollar saved is a ' dollar gained,” and a “stitch in time saves nine.” Cease to do things so, be cause your father did so. but study to improve, and find out, if possible, a bet- , ter way. The first duty lies just before you ; do it and you will find another just i ahead. THE VALUE OF WATER FOR COWS. Cows should have access to water at all times, especially cows that give milk. They want to drink often and return to their feed The best stable and one in which stock do the best is where water is was always running introughs before the cattle. Thus managed, cows may be kept up to a full flow of milk either winter or summer, and for this reason, if the past ure fails from drought, it may be sup planted with other feed, but a failure of water, cannot be remedied. So, in win ter, cows that are only watered once a day, as many do who consider themselves good fanness. the cows shrink in their milk, and it can never be regained. The same rule will hold good in the stable ; abundant feed may be supplied, if the water supply fails the profit will be nil The necessity for plenty of pure water for stock, is one of the first importance to I breeders and feeders. It must not only I be in abundance, but it should be in such eupply that stock may either take it at will, or if supplied at stated times, it should be offered at least twice a day, j and three times will be better. No ani mal can thrive properly that has access to water but once a day. Every good , feeder knows this, and hence in all large feeding establishments, the greatest care is taken to keep the supply ample ami constant. Many farmers neglect tins,ami always to their cost. If water cannot be had near in any other way, wells should be dug, and the water raised by wind or other power, as the case tnay be. Having plenty of water, see that stock get it as regularly as they feed. It will pay. CARE OF STOCK IN WINTER. | Not half the farmers give this subject the thought and attention its importance demands. It requires more nice and dis criminating judgment to feed and take proper care of stock in the winter season than it does to raise and secure that feed in the summer season. This may be con sidered by some, an extravegant asser tion, but those who so claim, certainly take poor care of thir stock. Two things are to be taken into account in. wintering Z HE C HRISTIAN -Index and South-western Baptist: Thursday, December 18, 1879. . th°riviL F L r9 a’-h eeping the stock in good, ting eonditton; second, economizing - ami saving fodder. I claim, that by econ > i a > nd luakl1 ’? stock eat up close, all the fodder given, they can be brought hrough the wnnter m better condition : than when a slovenly, careless method lis practiced. Os course, I base these re marks on the idea that fodder must be secured at the right time, and in the best 1 ; Possible condition. It is very easy, bv . I over feeding, to teach stock of any kind, to waste their food, and when that habit is once acquired it is hard to break it up especially with young stock. First secure I the food in the best possible condition ; second, furnish good comfortable sheds and stables suited to the different kinds j of stock; third, make good mangers and racks, so there can be no possibility of | waste, and then feed just the amount, as near as possible, that the different kinds of stock will eat, and, if at the next feed ing time some is left, not quite so much is to be given; but if all is eaten clean, then increase a little In this way, the amount stock will eat can be arrived at very closely. But when any is left that you don’t expect to be eaten, always clean it from the racks or mangers, as the case may be. The idea is to make stock eat all they will, and not waste any, to keep it in thriving condition,and by econ omizing in feed, a two fold gain is made. Every good farmer that does any part of his own work, can put in his time to the best advantage by taking care of his own stock, and let the hired help do the straight work, in the field or words; foi not one hired man in ten can be intrust ed with the care of stock in the winter time, either from a lack of judgment or the want of care, or both. To be a good hand with stoci, a man must like the business and have some interest in it. He must be gentle and kind, and then the stock will like him, and they will get along first rate together. A howling,wild, uncultivated fellow has no business tak ing care of stock. Anybody that will abuse the dumb brutes that God has given us for our most pressing needs, and has not given the tongue to tell the abuse (they receive, is not much better than the brute himself, and never should be en trusted with the care of stock. —Ex» change. ‘ RECEIPT FOR PICKLED PORK. By a letter from a farmer at Toombs boro, we are reminded of our promise to give a recipe for pickled, or family pork. It was furnished by Mr. James Newman, of Orange county, Virginia, and publish ed in the “Manual on the Hog,” issued by the Department of Agriculture. It has been successfully used by him for twenty-five years: RECIPE. “After the back .bone has been taken out, cut off the top of the shoulders, and the thick part of the sides next to the back; trim off the lean, and cut the pieces into a shape tofittheferkin (about 6to 8 pounds each). Have a perfectly tight, brine proof cask, or firkin—a mo lasses cask is good—whisky casks will spoil the meat -cover the bottom a half inch deep with ground alum salt. Pack on this one layer of pork, skin down, as closely as can be done; cover this again I with alum salt —no other will preserve j i the pork-and so on with alternate lay- | I ers of pork and salt, pressing each layer i j down w ith the hands as closely as possi ble. The salt on each layer should beat ! least a quarter of an inch deep. After standing three or four days, it ■ I must be covered with and kept immersed I in as strong brine as alum salt, will make, i If properly prepared it will last, ! tirely sweet for more than a year. Baked with beans, it makes a delicious winter ; dish, and cannot be distinguished from I fresh shoat. For frying (fowl, fish, pota toes, etc.,) itis very economical—superior to lard. The housekeeper who once enjoys the I economy and convenience of pickled j pork, will never be without it. It has no ; relation to the pickled, or salt pork of the West.” The “Manual” goes on to say that the j alum salt is known in our markets, also, , : as Turks Island salt, is made by solar I evaporation and is much stronger than I Liverpool, or the finer grades. Our own experience enables us to fully endorse I this recipe in every respect -save that no difficulty was found in usingthe ordinary j Liverpool salt. The main points are, 1. A perfectly tight vessel. 2. Plenty of; j good salt to make and keep the brine I i strong as possible. Large, fat hogs make \ the best pickled pork. Two House Plows.--It is a great saving of costiy labor to use two hotse plow's as i far as practical. If ordinary stubble, land is to be turned over, one to one and ; a quarter acres per day is considered j good work for a one-horse plow—one ] mule and one hand. Give the same , hand a good two horse plow and team, i and he can easily accomplish twice as much, and do it better; or in other words, one man and two horses will do as much I plowing in one day as two men with a horse each -a saving of a day’s labor of one hand. This saving will pay for a two horse p’ow in about two weeks. A large plow does not imply deep plowing, necessarily. If well constructed it may be guaged to run and turn well, at any depth - from one and a half inches to six : or eight. We have seen an active plow- j man with two good horses, to a No. 3 ; Brinley, turn over and weed land at the j | rate of one acre every four hours, for i days together. In turning under weeds, i | briars and broomsedge, a heavy chain , 1 should be attached -one end to the right I hand end of the doubletree and the other to the beam just in front of the [ plow standard. PEA VINES AS A FERTILIZER.' We firmly believe that the only prac- I tical means of restoring and keeping up I the fertility of our -oils, will be found in [ growing of green crops for that special i purpose and for soiling cattle. Among the plants suitable for this purpose, the cow pea is admitted to be the best adapt- I ied to the South. We urge our readers to ! : take into their plans for next year, the i planting of a considerable area in peas. J Plant all the corn land and follow wheat and oats with peas. Will some of our readers who have tried pea vines as a fertilizer, give us a statement of their etc perience for publication ? It has been truly said that one has no need to go beyond the stables and the farm yard to estimate the condition of the farm or to judge of the success of its owner. Where these are tidy and well kept, the farm at large is pretty sure to be in the same condition. i A general clearing up is now in order, j Fields, fences, yards, buildings, and cel ' lars, should be cleared of rubbish, and the rubbish hauled out and burned. Gather up every tool and put it into its place; fix up wagons and carts, cleanaud paint them; arrange the house for winter and rough weather; now that lightshave to be carried about the barns and stables, everything should be fully insured, and a good responsible company selected to insure in; fire-wood should be prepared and put under shelter, and that general family peace-maker, dry fuel, generously supplied and conveniently placed for use; where coal is used, a bin under cover, with an opening at the bottom for taking out the fuel easily, will save trouble and loss. Finally, prepare a suitable place for disposing of all household waste where it can be made available as a fer tilizer and all risk of infection from it be avoided. ‘■Rural Sun.”—We feel constrained to speak a word to our readers in favor of the “Rural Sun,” one of the best agricul tural papers on onr exchange list. It is published weekly, at Nashville, Tenn. We find it abounds in short practical ar ticles, suited to the latitude and season, and we think our Tennessee farmers, es pecially, miss a good deal if they do not take the paper. It is far better suited to the wants of a Southern farmer than pa pers printed north of the Ohio at d Poto mac. A pail ol water slightly warm, in which two or three quarts of bran have been siirred with a sprinkling of salt, given to a cow once a day will increase the (low of milk, and also add to its quality. FLOWER SEEDS GRATIS. What is there, for a small amount of money, that will make home more beautiful aud attractive than flowers? Rev. J. Cope land, who, a few years ago, supplied our readers with Flower Seeds gratis, and helped to make many homes over the land bright ami fragrant, offers again to send from his surplus stock of seeds, to any of our readers who will send him fifty cents, a sum barely sufficient to cover cost of gathering, clean ing, putting up and postage, together with printed directions for the successful growing of them, the following fifteen packages of seeds, viz.: German Pansies, Phlox, Migno nette, Candytuft, German Asters. Antirrhi num, Potulacea, Sweet William, Forget-Me- Not., Sweet AlysSutu, Fancy Pink, Calliopsis, Everlastings, Petumia, and Double* Zinnia. Those ordering, will please, as far as practi cal, send post-office order, writing their ad dress plainly, giving county and State, as well as post-office address, that as tar as pos sible, all failure may be avoided.
