THE WEATHER VS. FARM WORK.
The weather since last fall has been
so remarkable in almost every respeet—
in rainfall, floods, snows and cold, that
it is not too much to say that very few
men living have seen the like. “I never
saw such weather" has been truthfully
asserted, by nearly every one who ever
talks about the subject: and who is lie
that never discusses tne weather? To
say nothing of the low temperature
lower, probably than has occurred in
forty-five years—and leaving out the
snowstorms that have occurred - the rain
fall has been phenominal. Since the
first day of January, the rainfall at
Atlanta has amounted to nearly 28 in
ches! (This is now 22nd of March.) The
average annual amount for this place is
about forty-eight inches. So it appears
that we have had about four inches more
than half our usual years allowance, in
less than one fourth the year; leaving
only twenty inches for the remaining
nine months. If this amount should all
fall before the Ist of August, it would
not be more than the growing crops will
have needed by that time-sunless very
judiciously distributed —and in fact would
be but little more than half as much per
month as fell during each of the past
three month*. And it the twenty inches
which we may expect be divided equally
between the remaining nine months each
would receive only 2.11 inches. While
it is true that there is no law that limits
the rainfall absolutely within a certain
amount, yet it is also true that the an
nual rainfall duriug a long term of years
has been observed to vary between very
moderate extremes. The conclusion in
dicated, is that we will very probably
have a long drought sometime during the
present year, as a counterbalance or off
set to the extreme weather so far ex
perienced. If it occurs in the fall—well
and good—we can stand it, but if in the
early summer, the spring oats and corn
as well as other crops will inevitably
suffer. . , .
The moral of it all is that the farmer
should prepare his land as thoroughly as
possible and the first workings should
be deep and faithful, in anticipation of
dry weather. Other precautions should
also be taken —such as depositing man
ures more deeply and not too much in
the hill, giving good distance, etc.
We know, most farmers are more or
less behind with the work of preparation
and planting, and it will be impossible
to get all the land thoroughly prepared
and also planted by the usual time. There
is great need of sound judgement in the
management of a farm under any circum
stances, but especially when there have
been so many unfavorable and hindering
features as in the case at present. On
most farms it will be wise at once to re
duce the area first intended for hoed crops
—especially cotton. We oftener err in
planting too much than too little—even
in years when good crops are made.
EDUCATION FOR FARMER'S
BOYS.
Why should any one think that far
mer’s sons should be differently educated
from other people’s children is past my
comprehension. They, in common with
the minister, lawyer, civilengineer, and
many others, should have a special train
ing for their calling, either on the farm
or elsewhere, but the rud’ments of an ed
ucation for a farmer and others are just
the same. A young man wishes to enter
a commercial house and become a mer
chant. He first prepares himself by a
training in a business college. If he was
a graduate of an ordinary college, before
he entered on his business course, so
much the better; he can be more useful
as long as he lives, both in his special
calling at d to the community in which
he lives. This, too, is a safe and wise
course for the farmer to pursue. Give
your sons all the education you can; the
more the better. A collegiate education
is very much better than anything short
of it. Money is not the only object in
life; and why should a farmer be like one
of his hogs, worth more to others after
his death than during his whole life ?
Educated men are needed everywhere.
If they leave the farm for other callings
it is because such are too rarely to be
found in the country. Educate more
farmer’s sons and they will stay on the
farm. Then, if they want to engage in
something else let them do so, if they
find a more useful field.- Ohio Farmer.
On reading tie above, we are lead to
remark that one of the great drawbacks
on educating farmer’s sons is in the nec
essity, which generally exists, of sending
them off to a city or large town. The
expense is too great to be bom by the
average farmer, deprived, as he will be
too, of any serviced assistance whatever
from his son.
But even if sacrifices are made and the
son is sent off to college, the chances are
five to one that he will by association
with city or town life, become estranged
from the simple rural tastes and habits
of farm life and enamored with the at
tractions of the city. When he goes
home, after finishing his course, he finds
few or none of his age who have had the
same opportunities; and his superior
education is put at a discount by a large
proportion ol hie future neighbors, many
of whom would esteem such an acquisi
tion chiefly as enabling the possessor to
go into some profession. What the
country needs is food schools in the
•wintry and small towns. Collegiate ed
ucation is all very well and very disirabk,
but we would like to see a good academy
in every county town and populous
country place in the South—taught by
menwho have been themselves thorough
ly and specially qualified for thebusiness
of teaching. It is practically impossible
to send a tithe of our boys to college, and
it is not even desirable to do so in the
present condition of the country. But
we can conceive of no investment that
would yield greater returns in the future
than the small amount necessary to put
up a good building and keep up al least
one first class academy in every county.
Feeding cows for Butter.—lt is of
ten stated very authoritatively that feed
ing does not affect the quality of the
inilk. This is emphatically declared by
Prof. J. A. Wauklyn in his work on
Milk Analysis; for he says (page 12), “the
effect of variations in the diet of the cow
shows itself in the amount of the secre
tions rather than its quality." This is
altogether wrong; any one may prove it
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 188 I.
very quickly by feeding wheat shorts,
buckwheat nran, and corn meal, separ
ately each for a month, and noting the
yield of butter and the quality of it. The
result of my observations may be stated
as follows, the effect en the butter of the
various feeding substances named being
noted:
Corn meal, butter good, quantity defi
cient: cotton seed meal, very good, quan
tyty large; wheat bran, white, quantity
fair; wheat middlings, white, quantity
better; buckwheat bran, very white and
poor, quantity small; palm nut meal,
white, good flavor, quantity large; corn
and oats and bran ground fine, very
good, quantity large; corn meal, bran,
and one-fourth cotton seed, the best,
quantity largest; malt sprouts, cotton
seed and bran, best, quantity largest;
brewers’ grains and corn meal, fair, quan
tity large; linseed meal, white and soft,
quantity large.
The relative economy of the feed is in
proportion to price, and depends much
upon locality. If values were the same
I would choose first an equal mixture of
yellow corn and wheat bran or coarse
middlings ground together finely, and
mixed with one-fourth its bulk of cotton
seed meal, and of this I would give from
four to eight quarts daily as might be
found proper for the cow after a fair tri
al. Some cows will take more feed than
others for the largest yield of butter,
bext to this I would choose corn meal
and wheat bran equally mixed. As to
buckwheat bran I would rather use dry
clover hay or corn stalks, because one
can get good butter from these alone, al
thou h little of it; while the butter from
buckwheat bran is as poor as lard.
A large yield of milk is not always con
sistent with a large product of cream and
butter. lam only considering here the
latter, and one should wait to see the bat
ter before deciding about the feed. Then
it should not be forgotten that cows dif
fer, and some will not make yellow but
ter or even hard butter, whatever may
be the feed.
SHEEP.
A correspondent at Gordon Georgia
writes as follows:
“I wish to enquire of you what is the
best breed to mix with our common
sheep? If the Merino, where can they be
obtained most cheaply and convenient
ly?’’
The writer correctly anticipates our
reply. The almost unanimous verdict
of all who have any experience is that
the Spanish Merino makes the most prof
itable cross with our common sheep.
The pure blood bucks should be pur
chased from a Southern breeder if pos
sible. If properly managed one buck
will be sufficient for fifty ewes.
We do not know certainly where oui
correspondent esn get merinoes, but per
haps from J. B. Jones, Herndon, Burch
Co. Ga., We give the following from
the Farm Journal on the general subject
of sheep raising:
To breed sheep for profit, whether for
the sale of lambs, for the wool, for the
carcass, or for the whole, combined with
the enriching of the farm by the manure,
requires a correct start, and this lies
mainly in proper selection of the breed,
having one’s marketer purposes in view’.
Nearness to large cities, or to railroads
leading to them, would indicate raising
of sheep for lambs or for mutton; as the
sale of early lambs is very profitable, and
in the winter season the sheep are turned
into the market—both operations with
very little expense. This would suggest
raising a class of sheep known to be pro
lific, and producing hardy lambs, as well
as affording a fine quality of mutton. If
early lambs are wanted, cross Cotswold-
Merinos with a pure-bred Southdown
ram; if late ones for grass or late feeding,
use a Cotswold ram.
Those who are further from market
will make their first choice from the
breeds that will produce the most wool,
and of the most seleable and valuable
quality. Those living on hilly and rough
land need a hardy breed which w ill
stand the cold, furnish a good quality
of wool, and a good quantity of mutton
when the carcass is sold. For wool alone,
then, the Merinos would be best.
MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH
It has been common to encourage the
investment of capital in manufactures
chiefly by representing the direct profit
in the business itself. This is all very
well. It is necessary to convince timed
capital that it will be sure of good re
turns on investments. We look mainly
to the North for money to put up cotton
mills and iron works and to develop rail
roads and inanufaturing enterprizes gen
erally. But it is worth while to interest
farmers also and present the advantages
which will follow to them and their bus
ness by diversifying our industries. In
the country every body is engaged in
farming—with here and there a doctor,
a miller, or a blacksmith. In the cities
and towns merchandising is almost the
one occupation. A merchant with a
capital of twenty thousand dollars, gives
employment to only three or four clerks.
What we want is a greater number of
manufacturing towns and villages, a
larger manufacturing population, to cre
ate and sustain a constant and remuner
ative market for country produce of all
kinds. Farmers would raise more beef,
mutton, butter, milk, chickens and eggs,
honey, small meats, etc., if they could be
assured of a constant and remunerating
home market for such things. In the
present state of our farming there are lew
things produced by the Southern farmer
—cotton and wool are about all—that
will compete, in distant markets, suc
cessfully with the farm products of the
West. But we ought certainly to under
sell them in our own markets. But the
fact is, there is very little reciprocity
between farmers and the town people.
The farmers practically sell their one
market crop, cotton, to the New York
or Liverpool speculator, paying liberal
commissions to middleman for the priv
elege. But after selling their cotton the
remainder of their time in market is de
voted to settling up old debts and mak
ing new ones—paying for supplies bought
before and buying more. The merchant
who sells the farmer his dress goods,
hats, shoes, plows, tobacco, etc., gets
nearly all of his own wants from the
dealer in “western produce”—butter,
cheese, eggs, cabbage, potatoes, chickens,
sirup, apples, vinegar, etc. etc.
This ought so to oe, and the country
will never be fairly prosperous so long
as the balance of trade is against the
farmer.
