PLANTING AND CANE OF OR
CHARDS.
There is no reason why an orchard of
peach trees (even) should not be good in
the South for twenty years, if proper
care be taken of it. Our trees are not
troubled with yellows, or other diseases
common at the North. Among the few
causes of of the decay aud death among
our peach trees, the depredations of the
borer is probably the chief, 't will be
too late to save an orchard if we post
pone effort until t e mischief is done, or
until the base of the trees are surround
ed with the exuded gum, which follows
the work of the borer, and the foliage
has become discolored. According to
our experience, little can be done by
way of remedy after the trees have be
come thoroughly infested, and have
borne several crops of fruit. The borer
attacks the trees even in the nursery
tows, and if allowed to carry on its work
after the orchard is set, wil< soon pene
trate to the be.rt of the tree, and induce
decay and death in less than ten years.
Before setting the young trees, the main
Toots-stems should be scalded w'ith boil
ing water, by pouring the latter from the
spout of a tea-kettle, particularly when
the exuded gum is present. The trees
should then be cultivated Wl *h care
•each year until midsummer. In Jiovein
■ber the surface soil should be scraped
away down to the main lateral roots,
forming a basin around each tree, so
that the freezes may reach the young in
sects. In the spring, this basin should
be filled, and a mound of earth be raised
around each tree to the height of ten
inches or more. Leached ashes are an
excellent application, before the basins
are filled, serving both to destroy larvae,
.and to fertilize the trees. This opera
tion, just described, should be repeated
every year. But, after all, it is most im
portant that an orchard be well cultiva
ted, until the trees are in full bearing.
To this end, the space intervening be
tween the tiee rows maybe planted in
potatoes, cotton and peas, in succession,
the peas serving to assist in keeping up
the fertility of the soil.
The old idea of digging holes for the
trees and merely manuring around the
roots at planting, has been rejected of
late years, and it is now considered best
to thoroughly prepare, by deep plowing
and manuring, the entire area of the
contemplated orchard. November is an
excellent time to plant out fruit trees of
all k : nds throughout the South. Planted
now, the roots become firmly established
in,tlie soil, the wounded parts healing.
Even rootlets will be thrown out during
the winter, and the trees will be ready
to spring into healthy and luxuriant
growth in the Spring.
Beware of tree peddlers, and patronize
only the nearest reliable nurseryman.
FENCE CR NO FENCE.
As we have before remarked, the do
ing away with the old system of fencing
in any county or section, will prove to
be one of the most radical and progress
ive reforms that has been inaugurated
since the war. Farmers, as a class, have
been noted for their conservatism, their
attachment for old ways and customs.
We have been so accustomed all our
lives te the system which requires the
land owner to protect his lands and
crops from stock running at large, that
we are apt to look upon the change as
an unnatural innovation —a sort of trans
position of natural rights and liabilities.
But if we carefully examine the ques
tion, candor will compel the admission
that the natural right Jias always been
on the side of the grower of crops—the
owner of the land against as the owner
of the stock. In practice, and in legisla
tion, the question has been resolved into
one expediency —the right, for the time
being held in obeyance. Who will say
that the indefeasible owner of the soil
should be forced to protect his land or
his crops against trespass by his neigh
bor’s stock, or deny the said land owner
the free and undisturbed enjoyment of
his own property?
In the early settling of this and other
Countries, the natural pastures were so
valuable, and the proportion of land un
der cultivation was so small, that it was
manifestly expedient that the crops
should be protected by fences, so that
the cattle and other stock might have
free range. All things considered, such
a system was the best that could be de
vised. It secured the greatest good to
the greatest number. Fences could be
built at small cost—scarcely more than
the labor of splitting the rails. But in
many sections of the country, a great
change has occurred. The natural angre
has been greatly reduced in area, and
become almost worthless as pasture;
while at the same time the timber has
almost disappeared. The relative posi
tion of the factors in the question has
been completely transposed, and it is
now time to e-tablish and assert the orig
inal rights of the owner of the soil, and
in many counties it will be found best
for all to change the law, and require
stockowners to keep their animals with
in bounds.
Monroe county, by Legislative enact
ment, and Troup county, by the result
of an election (under local option laws)
have just been added to the list of four
or five counties that have adopted the
“no fence” law. The law goes into ef
fect at various times between this aud
the first of May. As one of the first ef
fects of the law in these coun ies, we
venture to say that many of the farm
ers will, this winter, feel great and im
mediate relief from the burden of annual
rail-splitting and repairing.
It would not be wise, perhaps, for
farmers in the counties alluded to, to
throw down their outside fences at once,
and trust too implicitly in the prompt
observance of the law. Let each make
proper arrangements for restraining his
own stock within bounds, and be pa
tient and so-bearing towards the ignor
ant and indigent stockowner.
We expect to see a prompt improve
ment in the condition of cattle and hogs
and a brisk inquiry for better and purer
breeds, In places having the stock law.
Doubtless there will be at first adiminu
tion in the number of cattle and hogs—
as a large proportion are not worth their
keep—to be followed by improvement
in quality, and finally by increase in
number beyond any statistics of the past.
The old rule in the South, was, to
“make cotton to buy more negroes, to
make more cotton.” Stock, manure,
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1881.
and grass, did not enter into the tread
mill arrangement. But the rule now
should be -"more stock, more manure,
more manure, more grass, more grass,
more stock,” —cotton being a valuable
incident, the form in which the farmer
carrits his profits to market. We hail
the approach of the day when the old
fields of Georgia, and her sister Southern
states, will be clothed with verdant grass
and her forests turned into rich lawns or
meadows, and dotted with fine cattle,
sheep and swine, and mares and colts of
high degree.
NORTHERN IDEAS OF HIESOUTH.
The International Cotton Exposition
is bringing thousands of visitors from
the North whose feet have never before
trod our soil, Quite a large proportion
of these visitors come from New England
and the Middle States, and many of them
are either domiciled in our own homes
or have friendly access to Southern fire
sides and dinner tables —thus enjoying
opportunities for observing and studying
our home-life and habits never before
enjoyed.
in this way they are learning a good
deal about us, and unlearning pe'haps as
much. 'lt is really amusing, sometimes,
to see how astonished are some of our
visitors from the “ land of steady hab
its,” at the evidences of culchaw they
meet with in the drawing rooms and
places of public resort in the city of At
lanta. Some of them have candidly ad
mitted that they expected to find an
almost setni-barbarous population! with
few of the conveniences an i appliances
of civilization, and none of its refine
ments. Some expected to find the face
of thecoantry a dead level—with malaria
in every breeze; and could not be per
suaded to leave their loved homes until
after frost. Some expected to see a
chronic state of enmity between the
whites and negroes and that the former
were only prevented from open hostility
by fear of Federal bayonets. In many
minor matters our visitors will find oc
casion to revise their previous notions
concerning u». We do not pretend to
deny that in somethings, perhaps many,
we will fall below their reasonable ex
pectations. There are certainly some
faults and habits that we are not proud
of—to say the least. But on the whole
the Exposition will be the means of
bringing us to a better understanding of
each other.
Upon careful examination, we believe
it will appear that the average South
erner has a better knowledge of the
habits and customs of our Northern
friends, and of the history and geography
of the Northern States, than the intelli
gent New Englander has of us. And
this is equally true with reference to
foreigners, because Europe gets nearly
all of its information about the United
States through Northern channels. Im
migration agents from the South are
very “ few and far between,” aero; s the
waters. This lifference, in our knowl
edge of each other, while it appears
creditable to the South, is in fact the
result of another cause which magnifies
the North. We allude to the well known
fact, that nearly all oir school books,
and popular periodicals, are the work of
Northern minds and presses. Authors of
histories and geographies, very natur
ally give more detailed information
about those sections, or places with
which they are best acquainted, or in_
which they are most interested. FoF
the same reason, are author is generally
partial to his own section, not only in
giving historical and geographical knowl
edge, but also in statistical and other in
formation. We well remember that in
our early school days, the geography
told us little else about the South, than
“North Carolina produces ‘pitch, tar
and turnentine,’ Georgia and South Car
olina, Cotton, Rice and Indigo,’ and Al
abama means, ‘here we rest. ’ But our
youthful minds were filled with admir
ation of the wonderful capabilities of the
States at the other end of the arch, as
depicted by the geographer. Why, only
a few days ago, we received a letter
from a gentleman in the great State of
New York, who desired to know what
could be “raised around Atlanta, for
market, where the gold mines of the
States were located—or were they a
myth,” and the route and distance to
Atlanta from New York! Would a
Georgian, with sufficient intelligence to
write fluently, as this gentleman does,
inquire the way to Albany, or Buflalo
New York, or know what the soil of
Ohio was capable of producing? Verily,
the South has long been almost terra in
cognita to many at the North.
HOGS AT HOME.
Where now is the farmer who still in
sists that it will not pay to raise bacon
at home —that it is cheaper to make cot
ton to pay for rations out of the city
“ brick smokehouse” than to raise the
fat porkers at home and have the old
long unused smokehouse joists hung
thickly with the juicy hams and fat mid
dlings as oi former days ? High prices of
corn and bacon is a most convincing ar
gument in favor of home production of
hog and hominy. How many farmers
have been paying 18 aud 20 cents for lard
and proportionate prices for other hog
produce during the past fall, which they
could and should have produced at not
more than half the cost?
We well remember a bit of our per
sonalexperiencein this connection. Al
ways before accustomed to an ample
supply of home-raised pork, in 1872 (we
believe it was), bacon was so cheap—7
or 8 cents—that we were tempted to
give up pork-raising, except a few hogs
for “ fresh eating.” But the low prices
only continued for one or two years—
long enough for the stock of hogs to have
almost run out in the neighborhood, and
it required a couple of years to get back
in the goad old way. The cheap bacon
turned out, at the last, to be the means
of teaching a dear bought lesson—one
that will long be remembered.
We never found any difficulty in rais
ing an abundance of meat for all the
workers on the farm, when an honest
effort was made, and often a surplus;
and there are many farmers here and
there all over the South who have been
equally successful.
It is a matter of observation that
those who most strenuously urge that
the raising of pork under our present
system of labor is impracticable or un
profitable, are those who never raised
their own supplies under the most favor
able circumstances—even before the war.
The farmers who lose most hogs by theft
are generally those who have the fewest
to lose and give them the least attention.
Human nature Is prone to lay one’s
faults and short-comings at another’s
door. It is very popular to attribute
our losses to thievish depredators ai d
assign the risk as an excuse for abandon
ing all effort to raise our own meat. .
Now, when bacon and pork are high,
is the time to resolve to raise one’s own
meat. Stock hogs will cost more, but
they will be prized all the more highly
for that reason, aud better attention wid
be given them. Let interested uews
per men at the North and West, and
their echoes at the S< uth, argue as much
as they please to convince Southern
farmers that it is the better policy to
confine themselves to the production of
cotton and buy supplies from the West!
Some of them have also endeavored to
show that we were foolish to leave the
cotton field and attempt to manufacture
cotton. They don't want our competition.
If v e keep on building factories, New
England cotton mills will finally be com
pelled to move South, where they can
compete with reasonable hope of success
and profit. While we do not claim any
special advantages over the West in the
production of pork, we do insist that
farmers in the cotton States cm make
their meat at home cheap r than it can
be bought from the West.
