The Farmers’ Index. 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.

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. Send for circular and certificates.
