The Farmers’ Index. All letters intended for the Editor of this De partment should be addressed, “Farmers' Index, Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga.” THE TRUE POLICY. It is folly to attempt to persuade far mers to plant less cotton in order to dim inish the production and thereby en hance the price. The mass of them can never be controlled by such considera tion. Even if concert of action could be secured by voluntary agreement—by the agency of Clubs, Granges or Farmers’ Unions—long enough to affect the mar ’ ket sensibly, so soon as the price reach ed the point of profitable production, the great majority of cotton planters would break over such weak, self-imposed re straints or voluntary agreement and plunge again into “all cotton.” _ Not withstanding our past experience, if cot ton should bring twelve to fifteen cents a pound throughout the coming -market season, the whole South would become cotton crazy next spring, and would plant for a ten million bale crop. No. The farmer needs to beconvinced that the true policy is to adopt a self sustaining system that will be profitable without regard to the price of cotton. The farmer who cannot make a “living” without planting cotton cannot make money by planting it. The truth is, we do not understand the true principles that underlie success in farming. We hold that the most important truth that must be realized by the farmer is that true progress and profit consists in in creasing the value and productiveness of the farm and its stock. An Income that comes of the sale of the products that have been coined out of the heart of the farm, is deceptive and illusory. Under the system of labor that prevailed before emancipation (the best in some respects ever known) the absolute increase in wealth among farmers was very largely due to the natural increase in the num ber of slaves. But, while the labor was efficient and under good control, the general system of farming was far behind the age; and the loss of slavery left us at very great disadvantage in the race of progress and improvement. We had lived so easily that it might be said that living required scarcely an effort. There seemed to be no occasion to learn those habits of thrift and economy, and that ceaseless panistaking and intelligent ap plication of the principles of improved stock breeding, soil imprOTement, and high farming generally that have made so many comparative deser's to blossom with fruitfulness. The war left us with such a knowledge of farming and such habits of extravagant living as could on ly consist wi‘h a system of compulsory machinelike labor, such as we had dur ing slavery. Our labor was destroyed before we had adopted an intelligent system of farming, before w? conceived the idea of increas ing the productiveness of our lands, and investing onr profits in constant improve ments and permanently increased values. We have been in the habit of attribut ing all our ills and embarrassements to the war and its violent changes. But we venture to say that even If the war and emancipation had not occured, the necessity for a radical change in our methods and habits would soon have be come manifest. THE LEGISLATURE, Up to the hour of writing the present session of the Legislature has been re markably free from excitement of any kind. Much of the time so far has bem consumed in cutting out work in the regular daily sessions and sending it to the committees to be trimmed'and shap ed for future discussion and action, or buried in the rubbish with the thousands of bills that have gone to the same tomb of non-resurrection. Local legislation—which, it was thought would be greatly diminished un der the new constitution—seems to be more embarassing than before. The res trictions and conditions imposed as a prerequisite to the inteoduction of bills of a local character, have been met with a promptness and punctiliousness which, the introducers seem to think, entitles such bills to the favorable consideration of the assembly. The publication requir en and preliminary votesand references, give to this class of legislation a dignity to which many of the individual bills are not in themselves entitled. It is very common to speak of Georgia Legislatures as being composed of very inferior men, intellectually and morally. This habit of underrating the abilities, motives and moral character of our leg islators and office holdersand those occu pying conspicuous positions generally, is one that seems to be inseparably con nected with'democratic institutions. It is an abuse of the privilege and duty of freemen to hold their officers and legis lators to a strict account, but it is none the less a bad and hurtful practice, and ought to be discontinued. The present Georgia Legislature seems to be in bet ter favor with the public than previous ones, and we have rarely heard the voice of harsh and ungenerous criticism raised against them. Indeed they are fairly representative men of Georgia, and many of them rank among the highest in the State in point of ability and patri otism, integrity and morals. The several very important measures that must be disposed ot in s ame manner, will doubtless receive (as they certainly merit) the most respectful and earnest consideration of the Senators and Repre sentatives. The educational interests of the State, the temperance movement, the railroad commission, the convict system, the Capitol question, and other scarcely less important matters call for the exercise of the very best intellect and most exalted wisdom and patriotism. We have faith in the devotion of the members to what they conceive to be the best for the State, and only fear that false ideas of economy may control and pre vent such appropriations of money as appear to be necessary to the future pros perity of Georgia. There is danger that parsimony and niggardliness in the ap propriation of money be mistaken for economy; and some very cheap reputa tion for patriotlim and honesty will be claimed by certain men as a reward for a sort of chronic suspicion that every bill to appropriate is simply a raid on the peoples money—a sort of robbery, that they, as self constituted detectives must expose and prevent.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1881. CLEMENT ATTACHMENT. From a letter, dated June 12th, 1881, from F. E. Whitfield, Sr., of Corinth, Miss., one of the owners of the Clement attachment Patents, we learn that there are nine mills in operation now with the attachment in use, namely: By S. S. Forr ler, Elizabeth City, N. C.; by C.T. Hard ing, Windsor, N. C.; by Geo. H. Cornel son, Orangeburg, 8. C., with 5 cards turning out about 1000 lbs., thread in eleven hours, and running day' and night; by Fairmount, Mfg. Co., Willis ton, S. C.; by Westminster Mfg. Co., Westminter, S C.; by T. J. Davis & Co., Mt. Pleasant, Fla.; by A. Bonner, Senoia, Ga.; by Henry Habbert, Tuscumbia, Ala., with 3 cards, and making 600 lbs. thread per day; by C. L. Statler & Co., Cuero, Tex. All these mills report that they are making money, except the one at Senoia, Ga., which is run by steam and has to pay so high for fuel and for an engine that the profit (being a single card mill) is eaten up. Tnis mill would doubtless pay, if its capacity were in creased to about 800 lbs. thread per day. Mills will be started this summer in Tyler county, Tex.; at Richburg, 8. C., by O. Bonher; and at Suffolk, Va , by Thos. G. Elars. The Bridesburg Manu facturing Co., Philadelphia, have orders for machinery for new mills in Louisi ana, Alabama, and other Southern States. Mr. Whitfield demonstrates that the profit on spinning yarns with the attach ment direct from the seed is at least $6 for each attachment per day, when as many as three are run. Also that the spinning of cotton into yarns doubles its value, and weaving it into cloth trebles its value’ If the planters and farmers of the South form joint stock companies, and put up small mills on all the avail able shoals and streams they would soon be spinning one half to two-thirds of the entire crop and give employment to labor in our midst that now earns almost noth ing. Capital for the purchase of the nec essary machinery could be borrowed in Northern and European money centres just as easily as it is now borrowed by our merchants. It is well known that four-fifths of the money used in selling supplies to our farmers at the runious rates of 40 to 200 per cent., is borrowed in Northern and European markets. The proper organization and business me thods on the part of our farmers will suc ceed just as well. PERIODICALS. The subscription list of the late Sou thern Enterprize has been transferred to the Southern Planter and Farmer publish ed at Richmond, Va., at $2.00 per an num, in advance. The “Cotton Slates D. partment” of the Planter and Earmer is under the editorial contral of Mr. J. S. Newman of the Eaterprize, and the old subscribers to the latter will be supplied with the P. & F. to the extent of their subscription, We have no doubt the arrangement will prove beneficial to all concerned. The SouthemCultivator greets us month ly as usual, with well filled pages. This is undoubtedly the best and most prac j tical agricultural journal published in the South. Its corps of practical corres pondents and experienced querists are features of especial value and altogether unexcelled, to say nothing of the editors valuable monthly articles. The Cultivator is now published by the Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. $1.50 per an num. Howard's manual of grasses. We have received from the publishers a copy of the “Third Edition, Revised, with an appendix on Ensilage” of the above valuable little pamphlet. It con tains forty pages of reading matter and is for sale by Mrs. C. W. Howard, Dil lon, Walkercounty, Ga. Price not stated. Though unpretentious in size and style this little “Manual” has long been the standard authority on grasses in the South, and we are glad that a new edi tion has been prepared and published. The appendix contains an Essay on En silage, giving all that is known of this interesting new process, to date. TOPPING COTTON. This operation has long practised as a rule by some farmers, but many intelli gent ovservers have remarked that its ef fect is very uncertain—cannot be fore seen. We believe that, if performed at the right time, topping is beneficial in a majority of cases. It seems to depend upon a principle analogous to that which underlies the practice of pruning to in duce fruitfulness in orchard culture. The immediate effect of stopping the growth of the main stem, seems to be to throw the energy of the plant into other growing points, viz—the young bolls and squares already formed. So a good rule as to topping in general would seem to be that it is not safe, cr at most, not ad visable to perform the operation except upon stalks that have already as many young squares and bolls as may reason ably be expected to mature under the most favorable circumstances, and on these the leading limbs ought to bestop ped also by pinching out the bud. From the middle to the last of July embraces probably the best time for top p’ng in most years. It is well to thoroughly test the matter by topping at different times and com paring the yield with rows adjacent not topped. Training a Colt.— Bad horses are more frequently made than born. It is very much in the bringing up—in the way the colt is cared for, and the man ner in which it is broken. Firmness with kindness go very far in making a valu able horse. The colt should early learn that it is never to be deceived ; that it is to be encouraged and rewarded when obedient, ana punished by the with holding of careses when disobedient. The same natural qualities that make a horse vicious colt will, with proper treatment, make one of those intelligent and spirited horses that all desire to possess. The true trainer of colts is gentle, loving, firm, and thoughtful; and the young animals under his charge partake much of the same qualities. Second Hand Instruments at BARGAINS. AGENTS WANTED.

January •"pHE village of DeLand is located five miles east I of our landing, on Che St. John’s river, where all river steamboats pass: very near the geo graphical center, nortn and south of Volusia county, and almost in the center of THE GREAT ORANGE BELT. This place is about twenty-five miles from the Atlantic ocean, and is almost constantly favored with a tempered SEA BREEZE, and from its elevation above the river, its location among the pines, and its isolation from all stand ing water, it is peculiarly adapted to the necessi ties of invalids. This belt of land is about twenty miles long, and averages about five miles wide, is gently undulating, an in our immediate vicini ty, somewhat hilly. Our lauds are Unsurpassed In Fertility by any pine region in the State. In our village which is only four years old, we have a Flue School Building, used also for union Sunday-school and church services.
