The Farmers’ Index. ▲ll letters intended for the Editor of this De- Sirtment should be addressed, “Farmers' Index, rawer 24. Atlanta, Ga.” 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. ■ 111 ■ Taken Out of Bed.
