The Farmers’ Index. All letters Intended for the Editor of this De partment should be addressed, ‘‘Farmers’ Index, Drawer 24. Atlanta, Ga." THE WEATHER AND CROPS. In most sections the weather has been favorable to farmers—ever since Winter gave way to Summer, (for it is generally claimed that we had no Spring this year. Where labor is plentiful and under fair control there has been but little trouble with grass, and the crops have been easily cultivated. Some places havesuflered consideraply from drouth, but there has been no general complaint up to this time, and the crops are not very far behind the average stage. The wheat generally turned out well, some heavy yields per acae have been reported; but the trouble is, so little whea t was sown. Last crop was almost a total failure, aud instead of planting the usual or an increased area the past fall, many farmers were discouraged, and either greatly reduced the usual breadth or sowed none at all, while very few, on account of wet weather, succeeded in getting in their seed at the proper time. We have heard of some remarkable yields from fields that w T ere sown in December and others in Janu ary. We, this morning at breakfast, (Jan. 15), partook of bread made from flour of wheat grown and ground by that progressive farmer and wise legislator, Hon. W. L. Peek of Rockdale county. To say that it was good, but faintly ex presses our apprciation of its quality. The flour is really excellent, and Mr. Peek is entitled to the “beet,” (shall we say), for the energy and enterprize which has enabled him to put the first new flour in the New York market be fore the lOth June. Os all men or professions, farmers seem must easily discouraged by fail ure, especially when it is a failure of a crop which is grown, from a sort of conviction of duty. Cotton is not such a crop. It is grown as a money crop par excellence, and its production is the peculiar privilege of the Southern far mer. How we are wont to assert our privileges, and neglect what appears to be duties! And how often does it oc cur that the assertion of privilege brings only mortification and disap pointment. “The path of duty is the road to success,” and when persistently followed we are apt eventually to admit that duty has become a privilege. The true policy is to pursue the even tenor of a well ordered system, and not to be diverted from it by temporary or occasional failure on the one hand, or extraordinary success on the other. We should settle it in our minds wheth er we will sow wheat, or buy flpur; make corn and oats in abundance, or use soar western corn; raise pork, or move our smoke-houses to Cincinnati. These questions, settled once, will set tle the cotton question. If the first alternative is accepted aud adhered to, Southern farmers will again be free and independent; if the last is persisted in then are they hewers of wood and draw ers of water to —everybody, even to their former slaves. If we firmly re solve to stick to the policy of raising everything needed at home that can successfully pronuced in our climate, we will soon become masters of the situation. We will then receive more money from the reduced cotton crop and have less to pay out, more hrppi ness and comfort and contentment at home, and less business in town. We will sell to the city people more and buy less, our wagons will go loaded to market and we will come home with full pocketa. Instead of buying corn, and hay, flour, lard, mules, sirup, we will sell some or all of these things, and buy our coffee and sugar, pepper and salt. . Out of the cotton sold, we wil’ pay our labor, pay the the teacher and doctor, (not much use for lawyers), and—these are about all the accounts we should have against us, for we hold that everything else should have been bought for cash from last years cotton crop. TAXATION. Under the laws of Georgia, tax pay ers are required to give in under oath the value of property owned by them on the first day of April, including money and all solvent debts. The effect of this requirement is to double tax a very large portion of the property in the State. For instance, A sells B a farm for five thousand dol lars giving bond for titles and taking B’s note for the purchase money. Un der the decisions of the Supreme Court B is the real owner of the land and is therefore required to return the same for taxation, while A is equally bound in law to give in the note, the debt held against B, so that the property is taxed in the hands of B, and the obli gation for the purchase money is taxed in the hands of A. There is no money in either case —nothing substantial but the land. It may be said that the note is property and has value. It may be sold to C for money, or used in the pur chase of other land. But the value of the note depends entirely upon the ability of B to pay it at maturity, and that ability usually depends upon the possession and ownership of the land by B. The latter must rely upon the crops grown upon the land or upon its sale to a third party, for the money wherewith to pay the note, The case is the same with every species of taxable property under sim ilar circumstances. Moreover, if A THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1881. should transfer B’s note to D and take D’s note in lieu thereof—as is some times done—then both notes would be taxable, besides the land upon which the notes are based. It not unfrequently occurs that a man owns considerable property, but owes as much or even more than his property is worth. He is in fact in solvent—bankrupt. Yet he is requir ed to pay his quota of the taxes—in proportion to the value of property held. Os course, we do not claim to have made a discovery. The law has “al ways been so”, we suppose. But we have often thought of the real injustice that is inflicted by it upon the large aud unfortunate debtor class. Taxes are not absolutely burdensome—in Georgia—but they are hard to pay in a great many instances. The whole subject of taxation is very intricate as will appear to any one who will ex amine into it, and must be studied in all its bearings in order to understand clearly the effect of changes in tax leg islation. A very cursory examination of the law, however, will be sufficient to show that the policy of the State has been to take care of its own rights, cre ated under its own laws, without any very conspicious regard for justice to the tax payers. There are no laws so well executed as for the collection of taxes, and none that are framed with so little regard to strict justice. Cannot our Legislature frame a sys tem that shall more nearly equalize the burdens of taxation. SMALL NOTES. . Fancy Farmers.—The Lancaster Farmer says that no class of men have been ridiculed so much, and none have done so much good as those who are denominated fancy farmers. They have been, in all times and in all coun tries, the benefactors of the men who have treated them with derision. They have experimented for the good of the world, while others have simply worked far their own good. They tested theo ries while otheas have raised crops for market. They have given a glory to the occupation of farming it never had before. Fancy farmers have changed the wild hog into the Suffolk and Berk shire ; the wild cattle of Britain into Shorthorns; the mountain sheep, with its lean body and hair fleese, into the Suuthdown and Merino. They brought up the milk of cows from pints so gal lons. They have lengthened the sirloin of the bullock, enlarged the ham of the hog, given strength to the shoutder of the ox, rendered finer the wool of the sheep, added fleetness to the horse, and made beautiful every animal that is kept in the service of man. They have improved aud hastened the develop ment of all domestic animals, till they hardly resembled the animals from which they sprang. Fancy farmers introduced irrigation and under-draining, also grinding and cooking for stock. They have brought guano from Pern, and nitrate ol soda from Chili. They introduced and do mesticated all the plants we have of foreign origin. They brought out the theory of the rotation of crops as a nat ural means for keeping up and increas ing the fertility of the soil. They first gronnd up gypsum and bones, and treated the latter with acid to ake manures of peculiar value. They first analylized soil as a means of deteimin ing what was wanted to increase their fertility. They introduced the most ap porved methods of raising and distribu ting water. Fancy farmers or fancy horticultur ists have given us all our varieties of fruias, vegetables and flowers. A fancy farmer in Vermont, a few years ago, originated the Early Rose potato, which added milions of dollars to the wealth of this country, and proved a most val uable accession in every part of the world where introduced. Another of these same fancy men originated the Wilson strawberry, and another the Concord grape, “May your troubles only be little ones,and may you always have Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup bandy,” said au old bachelor to a newly married couple. Travelers to Philadelphia who desire the comforts of home combined with the luxu ries of a first-class hotel at the moderate price of $2 50 per day, will be sure to go to "Plumer’s” American Hotel, opposite Index pendence Hall.

Wondebeul Power.— When a medicine performs such cures as Kidney-Wort is con stantly doing, it may truly be said to have a wonderful power. A carpenter in Montgo mery, Vermont, had suffered for eight years from the worst of kidney diseases and had been wholly incapacitated for work. He says, “Oue box made a new man of me, and I s'incerely believe it will restore to health all that are similarly afflicted.” It is now sold in both dry and liquid form—Danbury News.
