FARM WORK.
The exceedingly disagreeable and in
dement weather of the last few weeks,
while it has prevented any considerable
work in the farm, and altogether prohib
ited plowing, has not been without its
advantages, while also attended with
danger to the small grain crop. The dis
integrating effect of freezing on the soil
has long been been observed; and in
■cold countries is relied on as an impor
tant, natural agency in its improvement
and amelioration. At the same time
the snow, while affording protection
against too low a temperature, also sup
plies to the plants of wheat and other
small grain the much needed fertilizing
gases of the atmosphere. In these sec
tions of the South that were not visited
with snow on the 29th December, there
is grave cause for apprehension that the
oat crop has been seriously injured.
The uncomfortable out door weather
has afforded a tine opportunity to the
Southern farmer—so unaccustomed to
such hindrance to outdoor labor—to put
in order his tools and implements, his
wagons, harness and plows, for use in
the good weather that will come, while
at the same time enjoying the comforts of
the family fireside during the inclement
days we have had. This latter enjoy
ment is none too much realized by the
active industrious Southern farmer, in
this usually sunny clime of ours. In the
North midwinter is anticipated as the
season for rest of body and the enjoy
ment of the pleasures of reading and
study and fireside enjoyments and
amusements.
Where a farmer has held himself at
all times ready for the work indicated by
the weather and the season, and kept
his plows or teams going in good weath
er, such relaxations as are afforded by
bad weather, do not interfere seriously
with the work on the farm, and may be
enjoyed with all the more zest.
Such weather affords a fine opportun
ity to the farmer to read and study his
callins. The man who habitually de
cries book farming, and studiously avoids
the practice of any plan or suggestion
that has ever appeared in print, will never
be anything more than the merest slave
to his daily wants and necessities.
A LITTLE ARITHMETIC.
A knowledge of the simple rules of
arithmetic is of great importance to a
farmer in the transactions of even the or
dinary work of the farm, and of very
great value when he comes to deal with
sharp business men whose daily concern
is to make the most of every trade. A
farmer goes to the merchant on the first
day of May to buy bacon on a credit—
payable November Ist. The cash price
is, say eight cents, the credit price ten
cents. Now let us make a simple calcu
lation and see what per cent, is charged
for the six months credit. Two cents
per pound is the s«n charged for the
use of eight cents for six months. Two
is one-fourth or twenty-five hundreths
of eight, equal to twenty-five per cent,
for the six months, or at’ the rate of fifty
per cent, per annum I Now how many
farmers are competent or take time to
make this simple calculation. If in
formed at the time that they were to be
charged such a per cent, on goods, many
farmers would promptly decline to pay
such extravagant and apparently extor
tionate prices. If a farmer has fair ci edit
he can often make a much better trade
with the same merchant by agreeing to
pay interest on the cash price at a rate
to be agreed upon at the time. But if he
can make a good bank paper he can get
money at the usual local bank rates
which vary from one to two per cent,
per months and with cash in hand he
can buy bacon or other supplies at a very
small advance on cost.
Such a per cent, as the one supposed is
not unusual, but on the contrary is very
common and is often exceeded. We
learn from the Supplemental Report just
issued by the Department of Agriculture
that the average cash and time prices
(payable November Ist) of bacon and
corn in Southwest Georgia last year,
were as follows:
Cash. Time.
8ac0n.....9 cts..Hi cts.
Corn9o ctssl.l6.
Assuming that six months was the
avenge time (it was probably less) the
per cent, of the time price over the cash
price was as follows:
Six mo's. Per annum.
Bacon2s per cent.... 50 percent.
Com29per cent.... 58 per cent.
We cannot account for the larger per
cent, charged on the corn except on the
supposition that the farmer whoiscom
pelled to buy corn is less likely to pay
promptly than he who buys only bacon.
The same remarks apply with equal
force to other articles of prime necessity
—especially to those which ought to be
produced by the farmer.
Let us now go with the farmer who
concludes that he will “make a note in
bank” and see how he comes out. He
learns that money is worth 1J per cent,
per month. He signs a note with an
approved acceptor for five hundred dol
lars due at six months. The banker makes
a few figures on paper or “in his head,”
and hands over the desk $455.00, and the
borrower goes on his way thinking that
he will be only paying 1} per cent per
month. But let us see what he really
will have paid when he takes up his
note. Divide $45.00. the interest, by
455, the cash proceeds es the note, and
we have 9.9 per cent., nearly, for the six
months, or 1.65 percent, per month.
If the lender had charged only 1 j per
cent, per month for money actually paid
over, he would have advanced on the
note the sum of $458.71. In fact the
banker has loaned the borrower $500.00
at 1} per cent, per month, and required
the whole interest to be paid cish in ad
vance, taking a note for the principal
only. He has worked it by the rule of
Bank Discount, which seems to have been
invented iiecause it is easy to calculate
and conceals the true rate paid on loads.
THE RECENT SNOW STORM,
Which occurred in the greater part of
Gulf States as well as the inevitable North,
leads us to some quiet observations on
the effect of snow generally. In the
Sunny South this phenomenon is com
paratively rare—many winters passing
without so much as a flake of snow
south of 83' latitude. To the folks a
snow fall is welcome—a harbinger of
unsual frolics, of snow-balling and sleigh
ing. For several days after the recent it
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND* SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 188 I.
was really amusing to witness in Atlan
ta, the efforts to realize the traditional
pleasures and excitements of sleighing,
sledding, etc. To a stade, sober, middle
aged man, it was a question —“where the
fun came in” in driving over the loose
and almost untrodden snow; and the
impression was unavoidable, that the
imagination must have been sustaimd
large draughts, in the minds of those
who make merry over the slush and
mud and cold of a Southern snow. So
much for the effect of Northern school
and story books in the Southern mind.
For ourself, so far as tbe fun and frolic
and pleasure derived from the snow
storm is concerned, we would rather
such a phenomena were restricted en
tirely to the congenial and frozen North,
and that we have “none of it.”
But we intended to remark upon the
beneficient effects of snow. It has long
been known by scientific men, that ni
trogen—that indispensable element of
plant growth—is collected from the at
mosphere in considerable quantities by
raining, dew, fog and snow ; and that the
latter collects about twice as much nitro
gen in the form of ammonia or nitric
acid, as is furnished by rain. In sup
port of this scientific discovery, farmers
have long observed that a snow storm is
peculiarly beneficial to wheat and other
small g.ain crops which are known to
be especially dependent on nitrogen—in
some of its forms. It has long been re
marked by practical farmers that a snow
fall is “manure to small grain.”
But there are other benefits which
and oats derive from a snow
which covers the ground, that are often
more important and vital than the sup
ply of ammonia which they receive.
While it is true that in the South a
snow fall usually occurs in comparative
ly mild weather, when the thermometer
stands at from twenty five to thirty de
grees of the thermometer, it is often
happens that the temperature, during
the snow or immediately following, is
much below the points indicated ; and
in tbe North, snow falls frequently when
the temperature is below, or only a few
degrees above zero.
In tbe South—as far South as At
lanta—the thermometer rarely descends
below 20 degrees above zero ; and when
it does, and the earth is not covered with
snow, the destruction of the small grain
crop—especially oats—is almost certain,
since it has been observed that such
crops cannot usually survive a tempera
ture of 18 degrees above zero. Now, a
covering of snow upon the surface of the
earth, acts precisely like a blanket in
protecting the soil and the plants grow
ing therein, from any further reduction
of temperature than the freezing point
-32 degrees—or a few degrees below.
Snow is a good non conductor of heat,
because water itself is a poor conductor.
The snow that fell on the night of the
28th December, though six inches in
depth, produced when melted, only
about Inch of water. We actually took
observati ns of the temperature of the
air and the earth beneath the snow, on
the 30th December. At 2 o’clock p. m.
of that day, the air immediately above
the snow showed a temperature of 15 de
grees above zero. Immediately at the
surface of the ground beneath the snow
(which was six inches deep) the ther
mometer marked 32 degrees; two inches
below the surface it was 33 degrees ; and
at the depth of six inches it was 35 de
grees. The same results so far as the
temperature of the surface of the earth
and superincumbent soil is concerned,
would in all probability have observed
at 6 o’clock a. m., when the temperature
of the air was 2 degrees below zero. We
found that a very thin stratum—not ex
ceeding one-eight of an ihch—of the soil,
was frozen. Notwithstanding the in
tense cold (for this latitude) of 2 degrees
below zero, we venture the opinion that
wheat and oats were entirely uninjured
where covered with snow.

IN USE. With cotton option.
Please read the authentic statements below. Write to the parties and get their views. First
see the test made by the Agricultural Society of Anson county, N. O.:
Wadbsbobo. N. C., December 1, 1879.— Messrs. W. J. McLendon Co.: Gentlemen—Please pay
the premium offered by our Society for the best yield per acre of cotton and corn in this county
by the use of the “Home Fertilizer," to Mr. J. B. Lindsey. Our committee find by carefiu
measurement that he made 14,000 lbs. seed cotton on 6Uacres, or about 2.200 lbs. to one acre;
and he also made 135 bushels of corn on 1% acres, about 77 bushels to the acre.
JOHN ROBERSON, President
J. A. LEAK. Treasurer.
t JOHN PATRICK, Secretary.
The above extraordinary yield of cotton and corn, made on the averasre lands of Anson
county, N. C., speaks for itself. The amount made with the use of the “Home Fertilizer” alone,
a manure manipulated at home ata cost of not more than ?ltl cash per ton. We can give you
many other cases Just as strong and authentic. On the success of the “Home” there are, and
will be, hundreds of imitations; formulas started similar to ours for one or two dollars per ton
less of cheap and often impure chemicals. So beware. Buy the genuine, when you know you
will get a good, cheap and reliable manure.
We also refer you to the action of the Wythe County Grange, Virginia, and one or two certifi
cates, and ask you to read carefully our book for 1880, with formula, certificates, etc.
At a meeting of the Grange, in Wythe county, Va., September, 1878, after a careful and ex
haustive examination of the report of their committee selected to report the best and cheapest
fertilizer for wheat, corn and tobacco, they, the committee, reported in favor of the "Home
Fertilizer” of Boykin, Carmer & Co., Baltimore. The report was unanimously adopted and
ordered to be published in the Patron of Husbandry, at Richmond, Va.
Maj. THUS. JAS. FINNIE, Chairman, etc.
Then read what Dr. John W. Johnson, of Scriven county. Ga, says:
Scrivbn County, Ga , August 7,1879.-7 J T. Outland. Esq , Scarbaro, Ga. — Deab Sib:
I used the eight tons Home Fertilizer bought of you on both corn and cotton. The excessive
drought prevented its effects being shown on the corn, but it had a marked effect on the cotton,
the land being old and much worn and never fertilized before; yet the result was 240 bolls for
a given number of feet on test rows for the Home and only 27 for the natural land. The cost of
the Home, including expenses for manipulating, etc., are less than half the cost of commercial
fertilizers. I prefer it to anything of the kind I know of. The chemicals I know to be good,
and I would rather trust the 20 bushels of rich earth taken from my own farm than to buy that
which has been selected with perhaps less care by the makers of the manipulated fertilizers,
besides having to pay freight and haul it from the railroad. Please order me two tons for my
oats this fall, and oblige yours very truly, JOHN W. JOHNSON, M. D.
If you want more evidence and will write us we will give you such as will convince even he
who is interested in some manipulated guano.
