The Farmers’ Index. All letters Intended for the Editor of this De partment should be addressed, “Fa rukhs' Indxx, Drawer 24, Atlanta, Ga.” THE EXPOSITION. This great exhibit of the resources and industries of the country has at last be come an assured, undoubted success in the matte of attendance, as it has for some time beeu complete in point of merit and readiness for the public. The rather tardy action of the railroads in re ducing fares to amost a nominal rate, has had the expected result in Crowding the trains on the several railroads leading into Atlanta,and of keeping the turnstiles at the gates almost constantly in motion. Os course the management is happy, the exhibitors in high good humor and every thing is smiling. Visitors to the grounds and buildings are unanimous in expressing admiration, wonder and delight, at the magnificent display of everything that can please the eye, gratify the tasle for the beautiful, and instruct the inquiring mind. The common expression is, “the half had not been told us.” Indeed, it is impossible in less than a volume, to conves an ade quate idea of the Exposition as it is. One day will scarcely suffice to take a mere glance through the several bind ings. A weeks’ visit would leave the mind still unsatisfied. The week just ending (this the 19. h) has been by far the most successful—in every respect—since opening day. The weather has been all that could be desired and the stream of visitors has been Steady and unremitting. It would be vain to undertake to tell those yet at home, what they will see at the Exposi tion. There need not be a doubt in the mind of any, that a visit to the great fair will be an event full of enjoyment and instruction and one long to be remem bered. Farmers' week, (Dec. 6th,) will be a con venient occasion for those who have not before had an opportunity to come to Atlanta. Every effort will be made by the management to get up a most attractive programme—especially with reference to the tastes of the practical farmer. The various field implementsand machinery on the grounds -as far as practicable will be actually tested on the grounds. We invite and advise our readers—one and all—to come. CORN AND MEAT NEXT YEAR. There is no question that corn and meat will command an unusually high price next year. Even at this time, when the pork packing season is at hand, there is no sensible weakening in prices for bacon, lard and hog products gene rally. The West, generally, has made a greater or less failure in the corn crop, and the wheat yield is much lees than for several years past. The consequent ecarcity of nog feed, augmented to some extent by the diminishe I wheat crop, has already had a telling effect on hog productions. The prices that corn and meat now command, and the prospective increase next spring, will be such that farmers cannot neglect a single opportunity to make the most of what is on hand by the most careful feeding, and economical management. ■ Tt is an occasion that will j ustify the killing of every pork hog that can be made to weigh from seventy-five to a hundred pounds. In this way, although a pretty heavy draft may have to be made on the corn-crib to bring such young hogs into fair condition, the demand upon the limited supplies next spring will be much less—by so many less mouths to feed—and there will be less bacon to buy- Farmers often lose money by neglect ing to make a few simple calculations. Oue year old hogs, as a rule, make the cheapest meat under our system of hog raising. Or the rule may be stated thus, the older the hog the more costly the pork. A pig at nine months of age may be easily made to produce 150 to 200 pounds of pork; and even much higher results may be attain, d with good atten tion. If proper pasturage and cheaply produced crops—such as pround peas, chufas and potatoes—are provided there is no sense in keeping a hog beyond a year old. A hog should not be carried through a witer under ordinary circum stances. Faimers ought to consider that it is poor economy to stint the feed now because it is scarce, and be forced to buy bacon at high prices next spring and summer. The policy would be wise if corn should be dear and bacon (pros pectively) cheap. BETTER STOCK. There is no doubt that a great deal of the money that is spent by farmers for fine blooded animals with a view to im proving the common stock, is spent fool ishly, owing to a very prevailing igno rance of the principles of breeding. A farmer will buy a fine animal, turn him loose among the common stock, to re ceive no more attention until the owner gets ready to make up his report—that fine stick is all a “humbug.” Os course where a farmer only wishes to infuse good blood into common stock, he should not wait to it idy the princi ples of breeding and crossing before com m'encing operations. The improvement resulting from one cross of a thorough bred animal upon common stock is so manifest that the cost of the pur chased animal is often repaid in the first generation of progeny. Tnerefore, if the object is to improve one’s own stock and make them more profitable, it is nearly always a good investment to buy a thor oughbied male. Says the American Farmer: “But no one should undertake to breed fine stock to sell as such, until he has studied the art sufficiently to entitle him to the claim of being a stock b-eeder. He must clear ly understand that the art of stock- breed ing consists in changing the conditions of life and regulating the re-produclion of animals, etc , and that no one is enti tled to be called a breeder who does not seek to regulate this change for some good and specific end, either for fancy or €C “Th?two great laws of heredity and va riability are just so fixed and determined as to enable man, by selection, to build up what he wants, to a great extent. Let him fix on his ideal and then turn his attention to varieties in that direc tion, and by careful selection and mat ing, much may be done. The building up a race of great butter yielders seems to be the end to which much time and money is now being devoted. The < THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1881. breeding to this end is much more diffi cult than in many other directions. “The breeder whose ideal is a peculiar ity in plumage (as in certain varieties of the pigeon or fowl), or of forms (as in short-horns or other flesh forming cattle) or in producing sheep with a peculiar fleece or shape, or the race horse, can select animals for crossing from both sexes having the desired peculiarities, while the breeder of butter cows is al most entirely at sea as to the selection of his males. The rule that has been formulated for him -to select males good as individuals and from good performers —is good enough as far as it goes; but as it is well known that the daughters of great performers are frequently anything else but great performers themselves, it is reasonable to suppose that this is often the case with the sons. Let breeders do the best they can according to this rule, and then wait until his daughters begin to come in, and subject them to some careful course of feeding, and if they are better than their dams he has a prize in his bull, and should by all means hold on to him as long as he is useful." FISH PONDS. We recently heard Hon. Thomas P. Janes remark, that in the course of a pretty extensive travel in the United States, and a familiar acquaintance with many owners of artificial fish ponds, he had yet to see upon the table the first fish from such a source. We remember also to have heard Governor Colquitt give expression to a long unsatisfactory longing to partake of a dish of fish from artificial ponds. We do not recollect that we ever had the pleasure to feast on such a dish. Is it indeed, a fact, as here insinuated, that pond fish never get into the frying-pan ; or do they have a trick of jumping out of the frying-pan? We pause for a reply. If this should meet the eye of some enthusiastic piscicultur ist who can give denial to the implied reproach let him answer. Eversince we can remember there have appeared from ' time to time in agricultural and other papers, enthusiastic articles upon the ease with which a family could be bounti fully supplied with fish frm ponds. We confess that we never had much faith in the claims, but have had reason to hope that the German carp would make the dream a substantial reality. Let us hear from owners of fish ponds. GOOD RESOLUTIONS. We clip the following from the Talbot ton Register, of October 25;h, as illustra ting the spirit of reform and improve ment that is manifesting itself in various parts of the country. Judging from personal observations made during a recent visit to Talbotton on the occasion of its recent fair, we would say that there are many counties in the State in which the spirit and pur pose shown in the ‘'Resolutions” are even more imperatively needed. Talbot county farmers are comparatively easy and prosperous—not all out of debt, nor plentifully supplied with provisions, but they have generally made good crops, and many of them have the comfortable feeling which springs from the posses sion of full corn cribs. If every farmer would stick to the goed resolutions formed about the heel of the year—after the crop has been gathered and the balance sheet is found to be against him—and not backslide when planting time arrives, we would soon be in the midst of plenty and com fort. But to the “Rules” —which we com mend ro our readers elsewhere: “The County Agricultural Society met on the first Tuesday. After the reading and confirmation of the minutes of the previous meeting, was discussed the re port which was submitted, of the com mittee on the Farmer’s Protection Asso ciation of Talbot county. We publish the resolutions, which were agreed to by the Society. farmer’s protection association. Believing as we do that the present is an opportune time to change for the better the false and unmethodical system of farming pursued in this section, we, the undersigned, farmers of Talbot coun ty, most cheerfully subscribe to the fol lowing rules: Ist. By experiment and personally we obligate ourselves to do all that is in our legitimate province to effect a change in the methods of agriculture as now practice 1 by the people. 2d. We agree to plant a sufficiency of our farms in provision crops, and the re mainder in such other products as we may deem most lucrative. In the small grain department of our farms we agree that it is better to sow the rust-proof variety of oats in the early fall, October or until 15th of November. 3d. We furthermore agree that at least a portion of the lands we devote to corn, shall be of the best quality, the entire grain acreage to be prepared, accoding as our ability may i emit, under the mod advanced and approved formulas. 4 h. In order to better ventilate our views and exchange our ideas on topics germain to agriculture, we furthermore agree to meet once a month as the court house in Talbotton, the Association, at the first meeting to organize by electing a President and Secretary, who shall serve for a term of one year each, or until their successors are chosen. WE SUBSCRIBE fully to the principle of crop rotation as being not only in accord with the econo my of nature, but as being the only method whereby the soil may be pre served and the large -t possible per cent age of vegetable production secured. The discussion on the different points of the report was instructive and enter taining. Subject chosen for next meet ings, “Labor.” Several gentlemen came forward and subscribed their names. Dr Pierce’s ‘'Favorite Prescription” is not extolled as a “cure all,” but admirably ful fills a singleness of purpose, being a most potent specific in those chronic weaknesses peculiar to women.
