The Farmers’ Index. SEED CORN. The weather has been so wet and cold throughout the winter, that there can be no room for complaints of want of time to do indoor jobs. Such is the pronenees of our nature to postpone to a convenient season, or until the work is about to press us, that many farmers wait until plant ing before a single ear of seed corn is selected. We have often insisted that planting seed of both corn and cotton, should be grown in a separate patch, from the very choicest seed obtainable, and under the most favorable circum stances. Where this plan has not been pursued the next resort is careful selec tions in the field from the main crop. This neglected, we must lurn to the corn crib and do the best we can. Whatever be the source plenty of seed com should be ready before planting day arrives. But we wish to remark that it will pay to procure seed corn from a distant locality every three or four years. Quick maturing is promoted by planting seed from a higher latitude and vice versa. There are, however, other advantages to be derived from changing seed that are apparent, though not well under stood. Seed grown on good soil —one abounding in all the elements needed for the perfect development of the particular crop—will be more likely to produce vig orous and prolific plants than when grown under different circumstances. The difference between two plants may be small indeed, to the eye, and perhaps not even observable at all. But a differ ence scarcely thus noticeable, will amount to a considerable aggregate when mul tiplied by the number of stalks in a field or in the entire crop. There is probably not one farmer in a hundred, in Georgia, who would not make from five to fifteen percent more corn, if better and more prolific seed were used. Money invested in good sepd —even at apparently high prices— is money well spent. It is not risking much to say that some fat mers could afford to pay five dollars per bushel for carefully selected seed corn, or one dollar per bushel for an improved variety of cotton seed, rather than to plant such seed as they do, year after year. The first year we used the old Dickson’s select cot ton seed, we paid one dollar per bushel for fifteen bushels, and with them planted the greater part of a forty acre field, fin ishing with ordinary seed. The differ ence between the yield of the two was so plainly to be seen, that we had little doubt that the fifteen dollars invested in pure prolific seed increased the yield of the field by two or three bales. Neigh bors who saw the crop, gladly offered two for one, next year, to get in seed. We did the same thing in corn. SMALL OR LAROE FARMS. The editor of the Southern Cultivator •says: <r Panaceas are constantly being publish ed for human troubles. One of the most recent suggestions by the ‘wise men’ for the poverty and lack of prosperty in the South, is the division of large into small farms; and the rapid recuperation of the French after their defeat by the Ger mans, is triumphantly pointed to as a sequence of the great division of land and the large number of small farms ex isting in that country. May not the facts stated in the extract below explain it fully ? ‘The French butcher separates the bones from the steaks, and places them where they will do the most good. The housewife orders just enough for each person and no more, even to the coffee. If a chance visitor drops in, somebody ■quietly retires and the extra cup is pro vided, but nothing extrg by carelessness or intention. When the pot is boiled the handful of charcoal in the little range is extinguished, and waits for another time. No roaring cook stoves and red hot covers all day long for no purpose but waste. The egg laid to-day costs a little more than the one laid last week. Values are nicely estimated, and the smallest surplus la carefully saved. A thousand little economies are practiced and it is respectable to practice them. 'Cooking is an economical as well as a sanitary and gustatory science. A French cook will make a franc go far as an Am erican housewife will make three, and how much further than the American Bridget, nobody knows. We should probably be greatly astonished, could the computation be made, how much of the financial, recuperative power of France is owing to her soups and her cheap food; better living, after all, than the heavy bread and greasy failures of our culinary ignorance. The French man’s or woman’s financial conscience will not permit waste, or exceeding the income, no matter how small. The Paris workman saves something every day out of his little wages, despite all the city enticements ; and by and by is apt to go back to his native village, and purchase his little plot, and live on it contented, never poor enough to be insolvent. With French economy, we should not only be richer than France, but our rapidly ac •cumulating material resources would help to build a national prosperty and renown that France with her antecedents and encumbrances can never emulate. The want of our financial future and our (national honesty is-not more greenbacks, but-more economy.” We would amend the abcve extract by extending its application to the gen eral farm management, and to those ex penditures ana wastes for which the farmer is solely responsible. We believe the men (in the country) are more waste ful and extravagant than the women. We have often had occasion to express the opinion that want of economy is one of the greatest faults of the Southern people. There has been some improve ment in this respect since the war, but the improvement has not been in pro portion to the losses sustained by eman cipation and its resulting embarrassments and demoralization. Comparing our means oi living then and now, we are more wasteful and extravagant than be fore the war. Like the editor of the Cultivator, we do not believe that small farms will bring prosperty, but will be more an incident —an effect rather than a cause. In the present state of farming in the South, the cutting down of large areas in farms must be gradual. Our farmers must learn how to intensify before giving up the broad acres and the old methods which have heretofore yielded at least a sup port. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1881. HOME SUPPLY OF AMMONIA. Dr. Jones, of the Cultivator, writes as follows: "On land that can be cultivated with any profit in cotton, a compost of fifteen bushels of cotton seed and 2OOlbs. of acid phosphate will make a bale to the acre. From this bale comes thirty bushels of seed, or twice as much as was used to make it. Eight bales to the mule is not extraordinary farming. Where that much is made, eight times fifteen, or one hundred and twenty bush els of cotton seed are left, above what is necessary to make eight bales of cotton again the next year. Reserving twenty of these for seed, we have one hundred bushels to each mule to be applied to grain crops. This will manure five acres of oats to the mules, or if prefered, three acres of bottom corn ; and either of these will produce enough to feed a mule one year. If any are fed to cows (and this is not bad policy on a cotton farm), the manure, if properly saved, will go very nearly as far as the seed would have done toward enriching the land. More over, the manure of the mule to which the oats or corn is fed, properly hus banded and handled, is sufficient of itself to make half or more of the food he con sumes. If, however, as is often the case, the cotton seed is dolsd out in small quantities to a great many acres of poor upland corn, if it is fed to five or six time the number of stock, which ought to be kept, and these poorly taken care of, and their manure scattered here and there and never gathered up—then the cotton seed would fall far short of doing what we have claimed for them. On the con trary, when a good humus-giving rot ation is pursued—say cotton one year, followed by peas the next, the cotton manured with phosphates and the oats with cotton seed—the land will in a few years improve so much that the cotton will need no ammonia applied to it, and all the cotton seed except those for plant ing purposes, may be applied to the grain crops. In this matter we practice exact ly what we preach. We have not bought any ammoniated fertilizers for six or more years—only acid phosphates. On our best lands we apply the latter by themselves, and on the poorer qualities, mixtures of the acid phosphates with cotton seed or stable manure; and we trust it will not be considered boastful if we add, that we have never bought (bating the supply at starting) one pound of forage or one bushel of grain for our mules, and they are always stabled when not at work.” EXCESSIVE RAIN. The rainfall at Atlanta during the month of January was 8 99 inches, the heaviest monthly fall that has occurred in several years—according to our obser vations, which have been regular and continuous for four years. The rainfall in February up to this writing (9th am) amount to 5.19 inches, bidding fair to rival January. There fell yesterday 3.15 inches. The’ aggregate amount for the first forty days of the year is more than one forth the mean annual rainfall. The present winter will long be remembered for its excessive cold and rain.

I feel It a duty to acknowledge the benefits derived. The fifth day of February, 1876, my husband accidently fell, dislocating' Iris hip-joint and fracturing the limb. He became helukws. and prior to using your bed, suffered untold misery In attending nature’s calls; it required the aid of two persons, even then occasioning excruciating pain. I tried an invalid chair, air cushions an i urinals, and in deed everything that was recommended, and all proved a failure. But the first few days after using vour Bed I realized a decided change for the better. My husband is In his seventy-sixth year; as intimated above, he has entirely lost the use of his limbs, and is consequently con stantly recumbent. He has beeu relieved of bed-sore, and now enjoys perfect comfort. The bed linen remains dry, which was not the case before, and a great deal of labor has been saved in lifting and washing the bed-linen, and scarce ly any attention is required. Your Bed Is perfect; and knowing it to be entirely safe, I would not risk changing it for any consideration I would advise all who contemplate getting an Invalid Bed to buy yours.
