The Farmers’ Index. TO START AN ORCHARD CHEAP LY. There are probably many farmers, especially among those juststarting, who are anxious to have orchards of choice fruit as soon as possible, but do not feel able to incur the expense of buying one or two year old trees from the nursery. So they postpone planting from year to year, hoping to be able, after awhile to devote enough money to this object. Northern nurserymen have long been in the habit of supplying tocustomeis what are called root grafts. These are nothing more than cions of the variety of trees desired, grafted into year-old seedlings, which are grown for the purpose. The little seedling—about the size of a com mon lead pencil -is taken up from the ground, the stem cut off just above the beginning of the rootlets, the cion in serted by one of the methods known to grafters, wrapped with waxed cloth or thread and is then ready to ship any de sired distance. They are sold in quanti ties at about two dollars per hundred, for apples and other seed fruits. When re ceived by the purchaser they should be set in rich mellow soil about one foot apart in three feet rows, and cultivated with care until a year old, when they will be ready to set in the orchard. We do not know of any Southern nur seryman who sells root-grafts, but see no reason why they should not, as they propagate their stock in this way. Per naps some of them depend largely on others, who make a specialty of grafting, for root grafts, from which to grow one i and two year old trees for bigger prices. ! But almost any farmer who can handle | a pocket knife skillfully, may do his own grafting. For this pnqtose it is best to | purchase the young seedlings (apples) 1 from Northern nurserymen, as they can grow them more cheaply than we can in our long-summer climate. We have ■ bought them by the thousand at about three dollars, trimmed ready for grafting. A few two year old trees of approved varieties may be purchased to supply cions, if they cannot be had from bear ing trees at home or in the neighbood (which is desirable). Grafting is generally confined to apple, pear, and other seed fruits, but peaches and other stone fruits are sometimes propagated in this way. The latter should be grafted in January and Feb ruary, and seed fruits in February,March i and April. But stone fruits are more easily and j successfully propagated by budding, I which is performed during the period of active summer growth. If any of our readers desire to learn i the details of grafting and budding fruit ! trees, we recommend the purchase of i “Barry’s Fruit Garden,” or “White’s j Gardening for the South.” which may be i had of Orange, Judd Co., New York. The last named book is by a Georgian and is standard authority on all subjects connected with fruit and vegetable grow ing. CHECKING COTTON. M. 11. Zellner, in Southern Cultivator, \ for January, gives “a few thoughts” on the subject, but barely broaches the i question. The objections he finds to i this method of planting are thus itemized: I The damage from cutworms; dying out after it is thinned to a stand ; the time I required to lay off both ways; the diffl- I culty of keeping furrows so as to know where to plant; the washing it causes on billy land, and the time required to drop the seed. Quite a long list, truly ; but we think some of them are of little force, while one is insuperable—that of liability to washing on broken lands. We would ■ not think of planting any cultivated crop 1 in checks on very’ rolling land. But first, the advantages of hill plant- I ing—including bunching the seed at in tervals without regard to checks. We tried the plan two years in succession on j about forty acres of cotton, and were well ■ pleased with the results. First we found | that there was a great saving of seed,one third of a bushel per acre giving a better permanent stand th tn a bushel or more planted with a Dow-Law planter. This saving is an item of very considerable im portance, especially when highly selected choice seed are purchased or used. The best selected varieties of seed cost Cerhaps an average of one dollar per ushel, and are really worth much more to the farmer in comparison with seed from the “run of the crop” such as are usually planted. A bushel of cotton-seed of ordinary size is about 125,0J0 seeds; and this quantity will give about 20 seeds for every square yard in an acre. One third j of these, or say eight seeds in a hill, will 1 give a good stand under ordinarily favor able circumstances, and will come up better under unfavorable circumstances —for instance when the ground has bak-1 ed over them afiera rain—when concen trated in bills, than when scattered thin ly all along the row. They help each other up. Moreover, if only a portion of the seed come up, they will come at the right place. t I Another advantage we found in the atnonnt of hoeing. '1 his is especially true : when planted in checksand plowed both ! ways, as may be done on level land. I But even when not checked so as to per- j mit plowing both ways, a skillful plow man will be able to cover the step between the bunches and save a great deal of hoe I work. If the seed are rolled in a good super phosphate (they should be rolled bv all ! means) the planter is enabled to apply in j this way ten or fifteen pounds of fertili- j zera where It will “do the most good,” i giving strong, healthy plants. We found other advantages in detail, but will now refer to a principle in the culture of farm crops, that we think will apply in most cases, viz: the individuiliz \ ing the plants. If we reduce the number of plants and distribute them with mathematical regularity over the area planted, each individual plant will have more space and plant food, including ap plied manures, and there will be a cor responding perfection of development, greater productiveness, and more con tinuous and later beating, and, at the same time, less liability to disease and to injury from dry or wet weather. We will not elaborate these points, but simply remark that most of the exceptionally large yields of cotton reported were from areas planted and cultivated in hills. The objections cited by Mr. Zellner will be noticed in a future article before planting time. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 188 I. IMPROVED SEEDS. For the last ten years a maximum of attention has been given by farmers to the purchase and application of commer cial fertilizers, and more or less to com posting home manures with acid phos phate. It has been a sort of farmers’ hobby-horse on which we expected to ride into prosperity. But we notice with satisfaction that, of late years, there is a wide-spread inquiry for improved seeds —corn, cotton, wheat and oats. While we would not underrate any of the agen cies which promote success in farming, the careful selection and use of the best seeds of the best varieties of plants cul tivated on the farm is of prime impor tance. The experience of nearly every one will testify that small investmentsin good seeds, whether in the way of mon ey paid or care bestowed in "selecting from home-grown, pay better dividends than almost any other. The price de manded by seed-growers for selected or improved seeds, seems high when com pared with the market value of the same when sold for consumption as food or for manufacturing purposes. But when the increased yield of the improved seed is considered, the price of such will, in reality, be low. If a bushel of improved or selected seed corn will increase the yield of a ten acre lot only ten per cent, or say one bushel per acre, it is plain that the seed would be cheap at two or three dollars per budiel. And so with cotton, wheat oats, etc., as well as garden crops. It is high time that inquiries were be ing made by farmers who intend to get better seed; and those who have them to sell should advertise. The columns of this paper are open, and it has a very extensive circulation among farmers. CLIMA TE— LOCALIZING EFFECT US AGRICULTURE. We have several times taken occasion to remark on the folly of Southern fai m - ers trying to adopt the methods, teach ings and crops of Northern and English farmers. Under the above caption the editor of the Southern. Cultivator alludes to the same “blindness,” and gives the following results of observation on the sunshine of England: “At the Greenwich Observatory, ar rangement has been introduced tor re cording the duration of sunshine, the small amount of which that was vouch safed in the twelve months ending in October, 1879, will astonish eveiy one. Duringa year, in England, if there was no cloud’or fog to prevent it, the sun would shine 4,442 hours—that is, it is above the horizon that length of time. I n the twelve months above mentioned, the sun actually shone 971 hours only. During January, 1879, when the sun might have shone 259 hours, it actually did so for just fifteen hours, or rather less than half an hour a day on the average. And in the month previous there were but 16 hours o' sunshine. June, 1879, was the brightest month of the twelve, but even then there were only 142 hours of sunshine out of a possible of 495 hours.” Farmers, Read!—No other time in the year is so well adapted to reading as the long evenings of w’inter. A great deal of cultivation can be done by the fireside, and an application of “brain manure” can be made now that will give a good return in the future. In spite of the sneers at “book-farming,’’ the world is fast learning that the experience of others, as stated in a journal or book, is none the less valuable fir being in print. As works which tieat of the plant in its relations to the soil, air, water, etc., we know of none equal to “How Crops Grow,” and “How Crops Feed,” by Prof. 8. W. Johnson. Whoever masters these has made good use of his time, and can never regret the hours thus spent. The point first to be gained in an agricultural education is a clear knowledge of first principles, so far as they have been de termined, and on this, as a foundation, one can safely base his study in some special branch of culture.

PERFECTLY SAFE IN THE MOST INEXPERIENCED HANDS! For Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cramps, Cholera, AND ALL THOSE NUMEROUS TROUBLES OF THE STOMACH AND BOWELS SO PREVALENT AT THIS SEASON, No Remedy kuown to the Medical Profession has been in use so long and with such uniformly satisfactory results as PERRY DAVIS 5 PAIN KILLER It has been used with such wonderful success in all parts of the world in the treatment of these difliculties, that it has come to be considered AN UNFAILING CURE FOR ALL SUMMER COMPLAINTS. and such it really is when taken in time and according to the very plain directions inclosing each bottle. In such diseases, the attack is usually sudden and frequently very acute; but with a safe remedy at hand tor immediate use, there is seldom danger of the fatal result which so often follows a few days’ neglect. The inclination to wait and see if the morrow docs not bring a better feeling, not infrequently occasions a vast amount of needless suffering, and sometimes costs a life. A timely dose of Pain Killer will almost invariably save both, and with them the attendant doctor’s fee. It has stood the test of forty years’ constant use in all countries and climates, and is perfectly safe in any person’s hands. It is recommended by Physicians, Nurses in Hospitals, and persons of all classes and professions who have had opportunity for observing the wonderful results which have always followed its use. I h«vp l»ng used the medicine known as PERRY DAVIS’VKGETABLE PAIN KILLER in my family and would not on any account be without it. When Cholera was last epidemic here, I used no medicine of any sort but the Pain Killer, and although myself and several members of my family were attacked severely, I. am happy to say that the Pain Killer was equal to every emergency. I consider I should not be doing my duty to the community did I not say this much. If I were attacked by the Cholera to-day. Pain Killer would be the only remedy 1 should use. I have thoroughly tested it, and know it can be relied on. F. E. BERGINSEND, Galena, Illinois. No family can afford to be without it, and its price brings it within the reach of all. The use of one bottle will go further to convince you of its merits than columns of news paper advertising. Try it, and you will never do without it. Price 50c. and SI.OO per bottle. You can obtain it at any drug-store or from PERRY DAVIS & SON. Proprietors, Providence, R. I. may 6 e ow26t “HOME FERTILIZER” CHEAPEST slspcrtoncasli IN USE. with cotton option.

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 us** of the “Home Fertilizer,” to Mr. J. B Lindsey. Our committee find by carefiu measurement that he made 14,000 lbs. see l cotton on 6J4 acres, or about 2,200 lbs. to one acre; and he also made 185 bushels of corn on KU acres, about <7 bushels to the acre. JOHN ROBERSON, President J. A. LEAK. Treasurer. JOHN PATRICK, Secretary. The a-lnve extraordinary yield of cotton and corn, made on the average lands of Anson county, N. C., xpe rks for itself.

The chemicals 1 know to be good, and 1 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.
