The Farmers’ Index. All letters in.ended for the Editor of tills De- Sirtment -hould be addressed, “Fahmihs' Index, rawer 24, Atlanta, Ga PLOWING CO JIN. It is important that the ground be deeply and well broken around the plants before they have extended their toots far into the surrounding soil. So far as immediate benefit is concerned, a simple breaking and stirring of the crust would answer, but it should be borne in mind that we cannot safely break and mangle the roots after the corn has attained knee high and commenced to grow rapidly. ROOT PRUNING as advocated by a Northern writer, may do very well in his latitude, but the idea does not agree with the results of our own observation and experience. We have seen corn benefited by a deep, root-breaking plowing; but it was where the soil had been so poorly prepared, that the damage to the crop from break ing the roots was less than the injury that was resulting from the inability of the roots to penetrate the soil. Some times, by neglect, a corn field will become so infested with weeds and grass that the plowing must necessarily be pretty deep to be effectual in cleaning the crop. These are cases in which the remedy though severe is not so bad as the dis eae. RUNNING ’ROUND. A long narrow bull tongue may be run very close to the corn—especially if a board be used to prevent covering the plants. It is a good plan to “run round,’’ in this way, the entire crop before put ting any additional furrows. Some good fanners, after thorough preparation of the land, never run more than Iwo fur rows at one time in the cultivation, each time using a larger plow and running farther from the row until the work fin ishes up in the middle. This method is, however, exceptional in its results and cannot be recommended as a general rule. » RE-PLANTING AND THINNING. Where the corn stands thicker than desired, it should be thinned before plowing. Advantage may usuallybe taken of a wet day when the'ground .will not do to plow—for the work,of thinning. Re-planting should be done before the corn is all up. It is better to re-plant a few hills unnecessarily than to defer the work to a later period. For re planting a hoe is not necessary if the ground is in good condition. A long handled narrow paddle is more convenient and may be used more rapidly. HOEING CORN. Some farmeis make it a point not.to hoe corn. T his is very well if the plow ing has been so well done as to render it unnecessary. But it is better to give the little additional work with the hoe than to have th row and around the stumps infested with grass and weeds. It is not generally necessary to hoe the entire row, hill by hill; but a careful hand may often carry two or even three rows at a time and do all that may be necessary. The same is true in re-plant ing and other work that is not required to be done continuously. MANURING AT PLOWING. It lias been found advantageous to ap a manure at the first plowing to the Is of corn. This is particularly so when the quantity of manure is liberal. But we would never advise withholding all at planting time to be all applied at sub sequent plowings. corn won't wait. It is very important that corn shall have a good start in the spring and be encouraged at every stage afterward un til finally layed by. It will not wait like cotton. C»rn has a certain period in which all its growth and development must occur, and this period will not lengthen out to suit our convenience. It will not wait on the laggard plowman — but, like time and tide, “waits for no man.” cotton will. Cotton, on the contrary, is naturally perennial, and has no fixed period in which its growth and fruition must be completed. It will accommodate itself to a moderate delay and even to consider able neglect, and yet in the end may show no resulting injury. The corn crop therefore demands our first and prompt attention, and should not be neglected. HARROWING CORN. It is a very common practice in the North to broad-casts, harrow the fields of young corn. The harrowing is done without regard to the hills or rows, using generally an implement havingbackward slanting teeth—like the Thomas Smooth ing Harrow. We have tried the plan, bn a limited scale, with satisfaction and do not doubt that it will be found a good pratice. A few stalks will be destroyed by the harrow, but if the stand is good one or more surplus stalks in a hill - and thinning be deferred until immedi ately after the harrowing, this will prove a very small draw-back. The few stalks that may be covered up may easily be uncovered by the hands who follow to thin and re-plant. This method of har rowing is continued even after the corn is a foot high. SMALL THINGS A peculiarity of Southern charac'.er is a disregard of the small economies and comforts of domestic and business life. This is manifested in many ways; but the habit is well illustrated by a repres entative peculiarity - the absence of small change in the ordinary money trans actions of life. The indiflerence to giv ing and demanding the “odd change" tn buying and selling, has had the effect of driving out from among us all the coins smaller in value than the nickel. They can be found only in those sections where tfieir convenience is properly appreciat ed; where the people understand and practise economy. It is not the amount actually saved by the use of this small coins that is so important. Their use is only an incident to that calculating cau tion in buying and selling that is the rule of action with our Northern neighbors, and should be adopted by us all. Tuere was something in our peculiar circum stances before the war, that gave rise to this improvidence in small things. It was looked upon by many as “picayun ish” to demand or to offer the odd change in the settlement of an account, or in the payment of a debt. A customer did not hesitate to pay 15 cents a pound ior an article that yielded a fine profit at two p unis for a quarter. Enormous per centages were made on nearly all articles THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1881. of every day Consumption, and paid with out hesitation or complaint. The uabit was probably due to the ease with which a man could “make a living" in our sunny climate, with our system of labor, and our control of the production of the great staples of the world. It u>a» easy to make money be fore the war; and the rule was “easy made —quickly spent.” We have not yet recovered from this and other habits that were encouiaged bv the general prosperity and happiness of former times. We have much to learn and yet some thing to unlearn. if we would again be a prosperous people. We do not object to holding on to many of the cherished ideas of the South—keeping I hem in the heart as it were—provided they are not mere sentiment. E-pecially dj we cher ish conviction that the peculiar institu tion of the S ruth wan right in the sight of Hear n, and would be wrong now, only because the law of the land prohibits it. We repel with indignation and contempt the base and ungenerous charge recently made by a pretended Northern friend and developer, that the intelligence of the South was consciously guilty of a national crime in practicing and defend ing the institution of slavery. But, while we may not accept the moral teachings of the North as better than those of our own lights —either on this or any other question—we may learn tn., ch in the way of prndeni, saving, pains taking economy in the management of our farms and in the transaction of the business of every day life. A Yankee or a foreigner can beat us in making and saving —taking care of the pennies. We should lay aside the habits and ideas that were only appropriate to our former state of ease and comfort, and show to the world that we are capable of rising from the ashes of poverty and war-wrought ruin by the force of our wiU and energy. We wduld not disdain the assistance of generous hands and hearts, but by the memories of the sacred dead and our own convictions of right and truth, we would scornfully reject the offer of those wbo would help with one hand and slap us in the face with the other. BARREL SEBD-ROLLER. A correspondent asks us to give a des cription of the Barrell Seed-roller, to which we have several times alluded in past issues. It is made as follows: Take a good barrel, cut a hole about ten inches rqrare in one side. Fasten together with abatten the piece of staves cut out, so that they will serve as a door to close the hole. This door may be hell in place by a couple of thumb but tons. Then put a two inch square axle through the center of the barrel from end to end, put a crank on one end, and mount the machine like a grindstone, in two posts driven in the ground, or in any convenient way -so that the bar rel will swing about two feet clear of the ground or floor. To operate : Put in two bushels of cotton seed and a bucket full of water and close the door. Turn slowly back and forth until the seed are thoroughly wetted and then, with the door downward, allow the sur plus water to escape. Now add from five to ten pounds or more of drying material plaster, ashes or guano, and turn as before until thoroughly incorpor ated. The whole operation will not con sume ten minutes, and the seed will be more perfectly rolled than they would 1 be in the ordinary way in an hour's time. SMALL NOTES. Thorough-bred Gobblers. —Thor ough breeding in the poultry yard pays quite as well as among larger animals, i though very little attention is paid to it. . Most farmers are satisfied with breeding , turkeys from the runts of the flock, which generally means birds hatched in ■ August or September, which have not ’ had time to mature for the Tnanksgiv- ■ ing and Christmaq markets. Toms weighing fifteen pounds, and hens weigh i ing ten pounds, will indeed perpetuate the race, but there is very little profit in breeding such stock, when birds, a third or more heavier, are within their reach, and can be bred with no more care or ' cost. The introduction of a thorough ’ bred Bronze or Narragansett gobbler, weighing twenty pounds or more at eight months from the shell, among a flock of mongrel turke/ hens, will add from three to five pounds weight per head to the turkeys raised the first sea son. The cost of such a young cock is not far from five dollars. Suppose a hundred birds to be raisd, the gain would ' be about four hundred pounds, which, at the price that Rhode Island turkeys ; brought tbe past season in Eastern mar ' kets, twenty cents a pound, would be eighty dollars. As turkeys with a good range get their own living through the summer, the most of this is clear gain. . It will pay those who raise turkeys to in . vest in thorough- bred gobblers. The above is clipped from that most excellent paper—the American Agricul turalist. It reminds us of our early ex i perience in tbe turkey business. We i had the good luck io find the nest of a i wild turkey containing five eggs. Boy i like with gun in hand, and having other boys stationed a’convenient points to i intercept her flight, we attempted to catch the hen on her mst. The attempt failed, but not so with the bird shot dis ci arged from our trusty double-barrell asshearosein hasty flight. Shehadjust i commenced to set on five eggs. They i were carried home and put to batch un der a common foul. The result was ■ three young turkeys of which only one was reared to maturity, a fine gobbler. [ He proved to be the pride and orna ment of the barnyard, and soon infused his fine qualities into the common stock. In a year or two we had the t finest flock of turkeys in the neighbor , hood, the only drawback being their roving disposition which led them miles , from home and often to roost in the tops ’ of the talle-t pines in the forest. Sever-, al were shot as wild turkies by our neighbors; and they were often driven home by the hunters who persued them , —so close was their resemblance to the . wild type. Amusements —Theatre goers and all such as keep late hours, are.very liable to contract a severe Cough or Cold. A safe and reliable cure is Dr, Bull's Cough Syrup. The price ' is only 25 cents. 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 1 find a cure commencing with the first dose, 1 and vitality and strength surely coming back to them.
