AU letters Intended for the Editor of this De
partment should be addressed, “Fabmiiu’ Indu,
Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga.”
THE WEATHER AND THE FRUIT.
At this writing it seems pretty certain
that very little, if any, of the iruit has
escaped death by frost. The old saying
that “fruit is never killed in March,”
while not strictly true, has been negat
ively verified again. But the fruit blos
soms—during the first week in April—
were in just about the state of develop
ment that usually occurs a month earlier.
Up to this moment (7th April) the season
is a full month behind, in the latitude of
Atlanta. As a topio of conversation and
even of passing remark, “the weather"
is growing to be monotonous. The farmeis
have certainly had a bad time and have
more right to complain than any class of
our population. It is not, however, a
foregone conclusion that 1881 is to be a
poor crop year. According to our recol
lection, in the spring of 1849—though at
first a very forward season—a killing
frost occurred about th? 23d of April.
We are not certain as to the exact date,
and in fact a frisnd at our elbow insists
that it was later than the middle of May,
but we distinctly remember that the seas
on was very forward and vegetation well
advanced in Harris county, Georgia—
where we then lived —a boy of twelve.
At the date of the frost, corn had all
been plowed—some of it the second time
—and was neatly knee high in places;
cotton had been generally chopped out
and both were most promising, when the
cold snap occurred and blighted every
thing. The corn and cotton, garden’veg
etables, wheat,were all killed, and there
was a great cry for cotton seed through
out the country. Yet the year 1849 prov
ed to be a bountiful year in that section
of Georgia—especially for cotton.
Will some of our readers give the exact
date of the frost and some reminescenses
of the time ? We would be glad to put
it on record. The fall of the year was
dry and held on until December, no kil
ling frost occurring until January. We
remember seeing cotton blooms during
Christmas week. Such a season may
not occur this time, but it is not impos
sible.
THE FARMERS POLICY.
About this season of the year it is cus
tomary for the newspapers—both polit
ical and agricultural—to give “line upon
line*’ about the ruinous policy of plant
ing so much cotton and relying on the
West for provisions. It is the favorite
theme of the speaker who addresses agri
cultural meetings; the frequent topic of
city merchants. It is in everybody’s
mouth. The farmer himself sees the
folly of it in others, realizes it again and
again in his own experience. Yet the
great -mass of them go on, year after year,
Tn the same old rut —producing cotton at
a loss, buying corn, hay, bacon, lard,
flour, and other common and indispens
able articles that should be made at
home.
There seems to be, and really is, an in
fatuation about growing cotton,and which
can only be accounted for in the fact
that it is always and everywhere a cash
commodity—it brings the money. In
connection with this is the controlling
desire that possesses nearly every one
to become rich—or at least independent
—and the prevalent idea that we can
grow rich and enjoy the comforts and
pleasures which wealth affords, only by
actual large receipts of money.
There certainly never was a greater
fallacy; and yet the majority of our far
mers are pursuing this very idea. In our
humble judgment the successful farmer
is he who increases the productive cap
acity of his farm by improved methods
of culture, the use of composts, rotation
of crops, draining, terracing, and what
ever will multiply power, of production
and guard against loss.
We do not claim the wisdom necessary
to point out just what every farmer ought
to do, or, with alt the circumstances of a
given case before us, to dictate a plan
which will lead to certain success. It would
be vanity in any man to assume such
wisdom; and in the nature of the case it
is impossible to attain to it. If it were
so. farming would be reduced to an exact
science, when in fact it is the farthest
conceivable remove 'rom it. Success in
this calling depends more on the farmer
himself than any other factor. “There’s
more in the man than there is in the
land" is an old but true saying.
But we have digressed from the line
of thought w.e first intended. It ia.often
said that ‘'figures won’t He,” and iustly
replied that it is not the false calculation
but the wrong, application that misleads.
Many have figured out the profits ol
speculative cotton cultU'O and arrived at
the conclusion that it pays to buy corn,
bacon, mules, and other absolute neces
saries, out of the proceeds of the cotton
crop; but the large, very large majority
have utterly failed to verify their figures
by results. Some few men do make money
in this way, but they are only scattering
exceptions to the rule.
Success is the best and only true test
of the soundness of a system of farming.
When we look over the country we find
that nearly every one of the successful
faimers—men who have either become
wealthy or are living in comfort and ease
as the result of farming proper—have
produced their own supplies. The fact
is indisputable and the inference unmis
takeable—whether sustained by figures
or not.
We often recur to the history of farm
ing during the war. According to our
observation in Southwest Georgia, the
enforced reduction of the culture of cot
ton to a mere nominal area, and the large
increase in the production of provisions
of all kinds, caused no embarrassment
whatever, notwithstanding the fact that
the price of everything the farmer was
compelled to buy was proportionally
much higher than the price of surplus
products. There was plenty, ease and
contentment in all that section —so far
as the results of farming were concerned.
Os course, there were manv wants—
things to which we had been long accus
tomed—which could not be supplied;
but very little real suffering that could
not be traced directly to the war in which
we were engaged. Morever, the South,
with all the odds against her, her ports
closed, with a large portion of her best
men constantly in the army, maintained
her causa and supported large armies al
most unaided, for four years. Thia prov
ed that we can sustain ourselves, and that
we have all the natural advantages
which go to insure a successful career as
jm agricultural people.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1881.
ENGLISH SPARRO WS.
The introduction of these birds into
this country seems now to have been One
of those singular mistakes that we some
times commit. We are so conservative
in our habits and modes of action, that
we are generally slow to adopt changes
and accept innovations, and they are
often apparently thrust upon us; bill in
this case we were too ready to accept as
a promised blessing, what is proving to
be a veritable curse wherever they have
been introduced in this country.
From an extract in the Southern Cul
tivator, credited to the London Gardentr's
Chronicle, we learn that these birds have
a bad reputation even in England. The
extract says: "It is not in England alone
that complaints of the sparrows find an
echo. Everywhere in Europe, and even
in Algiers, these greedy and too prolific
birds are becoming more and more a
scourge of the farmers and gardeners.
Essentially seed-eaters, and not despis
ing sugary fruits, the sparrows sweep
down m great numbers on the ripening
harvests and the seed bearing plants of
our gardens, where they would not leave
a seed unharmed if it were not for con
tinual vigilance. Cunning and obstinate
as well as audacious, they only laugh at
traps and scarecrows, and the repirt of a
gun only disperses them for the moment,
to return in still greater numbers. Os all
winged creatures, it is the sparrow, who
best represents the rabble of our towns
and villages.”
They were introduced in this country
in the hope that they would make war on
the cotton caterpillar. We have not
heard that this hope has been realized,
and have no doubt they will prove a
curse instead of a blessing; and that the
whole country will be as anxious to get
rid of the pesky little foreigners as some
were originally to introduce them.
Tub World’s Wealth.—The follow
ing striking paragraphs which are being
extensively published under credit to
Harper'» Weekly, are taken substantially
from Mulhall’s “Progress of the World,
a late English work of great statistical
interest:
In point of wealth the United States
stands near the head of the list-third
on the list of all the Western nations.
The United Kingdom ol Great Britain
and Ireland heads the list with a capital
valuation of $44,400,000,000, then comes
France with $36,700,000,000, the United
States with $32,000,000,000, Russia with
15,000,000,000, and the Low Countries
with $11,150,000,000 of capital collectiv
ely. The are the valuations made by
those countries of their entire resources.
What is the annual income per inhabit
ant of the various countries? We come
to the front in this comparison. The
average annual income in the United
Kingdom is $lO5 ; in the United States,
$165 also; in the Low Countries, $150;
in France, $125; in the British colonies,
S9O; In Germany, and also in Scandin
avia, SBS. In this reckoning Russia with
her 90,000,000 people is out of sight as
yet; she will not be very long.
On the score of annual accumulation
our case is even better, relatively far
better. The annual accumulation of
wealth in Germany is S2OO 000,000; it
is $325,000,000 in the United Kingdom;
$375,000,000 in France; in the United
States it is $825,000,000. Our increase
in national wealth since 1850, says a
good English authority, would be enough
to purchase the whole German empire,
with its farms, cities, banks, shipping,
manufactures, etc. The annual accum
ulation has been $825,000,000; and there
fore each decade adds more to the
wealth of the United States than the
capital value of Italy and Spain.
Every day that the sun rises tlpon the
American people it sees an addition of
$2,500,000 to the wealth of the Re
public.
Every man may be his own physician, if
he simply takes the free publications of tie
Dr. Harter’s Medicine Company, and uses
the remedies they prescribe. All Druggists
and Dealers have them.
The Gbratmt Blessing.—A simple, pure,
harmless r» medy. that cures every time, and
prevents disease by keeping the blood pure,
stomach regular, kidneys and liver active, is
the greatest blessing ever conferred upon
man. Hop Bitters is that remedy, ana its
proprietors are being blessed by thousands
who have been saved and cured by it. Will
you try it? See another column.—Eagle.
Many miserable people drag themselves
about with failing strength, feeling that they
are steadily sinking into their graves when,
by using Parker's Ginger Tonic, they would
find a cure commencing with the first dose,
and vitality and strength surely coming ba?k
to them. See other column.

The leading Scientist* of to-day agree that most
diseases are eansed by disordered Kldn»ys-..cr
Liver. If, therefore, the Kidneys and Liver am
kept in perfect order, perfect health will be the
result. This truth has only been known a short
time and for years people suffered great agony
without being able to find relief. The discovery
of Warner’s Safe Kidney and,Liver Cure marks a
new era tn the treatment of these troubles. Made
from a simple tropical leaf of rare value, it con
tains just the elements necessary to nourish and
Invigorate both of these great organs, and safely
restore and keep them in order, it is a POWITTVE
Remedy for all the diseases that cause pains in
the lower part of the body—fi r Torpid Liver,
Headache, Jaundice, Dizziness, Gravel, Fever,
Ague, Malarial Fever, and all difficulties of the
Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs.
It is an excellent and safe remedy for females
during Pregnancy. It will control Menstruation
and is invaluable for Leucorrhcoa or Falling of
tho Womb.
As a Blood Purifier it la unequalled, for it
cures the organs that make the blood.

"It saved my life.”— E. B. LakelyJielma.Ala
“It Is the remedy that will cure the many
diseases peculiar to women.”—Mothers’ Mag
azine.

dorsements from some of the highest medical
talent in the country.”—New York World.
“No remedy heretofore discovered can be
held for one moment in comparison with it.”
—O. A. Harvey, D.D., Washington, D.C.

is put up in the largest sized bottle of any medl
c ine upon the market, and is sold by druggists
and all dealers at $1.25 per bottle. For Diabetes,
