^jirkoltural Department. Jnt Yr»r. , The year 1876 is fast drawing to a do*e- ■ Only two months remain and it will Ik gone lorever. These two months in part, at least, belong to the year 1877. The time has already arrived when awry, farmer imwt begin to make his arrangements fur next year. Plans must be !akt ansyneam for putting thesis plans into executioti must be provided. In view of ail the facts ir thp case, it becomes every Southern faraioi to consider seriously whether or not it h his duty to make some change in the mode of agricultural operations heretofore prac ticed in the cotton jiortion of the South " Jt is useless to repeat that too much athjn r tion has been devoted to producing cottor. and too little to raisiug provisions. Then is not a farmer in the conDtry who has not been advocating this doctrine for year.'. Still, but little change has been made in tin practice of farmers generally. It is uaele; to say that it is the capability of Southern soil to produce cotton that gives the Soutl its natural advantage over many section; of the Union, and it is the cot ton of tie South that gives the Southern people pow er. No more suicidal policy could lie adopt cd by the South than to abandon the cul tivation of cotton. The South, to !»e pros perous, must raise cotton; hut to raise cot ton ami nothing else, is to take the control of the cotton crop out of the hands of tic priKluccr and put it wholly into tin; hand.- of the sjieculator. The true theory respecting the cultiva tion of cotton, is to make the cotton a mon ey crop and nothing else. In other wards, cotton should he produced for the sole pur pose of procuring money with which to pur chase those things which cannot, on ac count of soil and climate, lie produced i> the South, or which, on account of a defi ciency in natural facilities, can not he man ufactured in the South. Tlie present is the proper season of tin year to make arrangements for such ; change. To cited such a change in the ag ricultural system of the South, a changi must he made iu the extent of Sou then iigrieultur.il alterations. Large farms, it seems to us, must be divided into a num ber of small ones. Such a change woult encourage individuals. Such a change would give the laborer the/alternative to eithei starve or to work. Now he depends upor the laud-holder, and seems perfectly satis fled, provided he gets something to eat and is absolutely iudiilereut whether he makes anothing or not. Some change, it seems to ns, is demand ed. Tlie burden of the laboring class falls upon the land-holders, as fully as if the la boror were an irrational brute. He lias no reliance njKin himself, and worse than all lie has no self-respect. Both these things are wanting, to it lamentable degree, by large portion of the laboring class of til South. The circumstances by which they are surrounded,'and'tho manner in which they have hitherto been dealt with, have a tendency to perpetuate this state of things The ciiar.ge which the country, -mauds in order to he pros)ierous, cannot he made in a day nor even in a year. It lias, how ever, tube commenced sometime, and tlie present is ns fit a time as any other. The change may he inaugurated by sowing large crops of small grain in the fall. It will be too late to talk about planting less cotton next spring, if no more attention than usu al is devoted to small grain. When spring comes it will be cotton or nothing. If the Southern country could only he prevailed upon to produce its own supplies, oue half oftheav the jive it? And so reliable does thisinfoama ion appear that recipients venture to pub- ish, to the fractional part of an acre, the trea planted. Bat when farmers publish any report hat looks to the improvement of their own ■mdition for instance, that the present •rice of cotton does not repay for prodetion, ;ot a word of it is credited.* One of these -atne commercial bulletins says: “ We-lielieve, too, that there has been a *;0ud deal of aggregation in the current talk it the South about the unprofitableness of .otton raising. Tlie same.cry has been ocanl every year since tbeclosc of the war aid yet, in’the face of steadily declining inirketsthe acreage has been increased . ear by yerr, until it is now greater than ;ver before. Iu view of these facts the question will >.„• asked, when will the bottom he reaeh- ••>!? If successive declines fail to check induction, what reason have we for be- ieving that the crops will go on steadil) acreasing until cotton sells for 11. 10, 9, ents a pound! That production will great* y increase in the near future,until a 5,000,- i00 bale crop will be deemed a small one, ve have no doubt. Bo fanners have any consolation in thi eature of the case, which is thefixedopin- on to-day of the commercial worldt If ; iiey do, let them continue in their co-op- •rative efforts to enlighten speculators at ■ vital cost to themselves, and receive con- ioleuce from the following thought which . i a reported conclusion of one of these eu- juiriug exchanges. • “ Prices lor a time fall abnormally low, but wo see no reason wby 9il. in Liverpool ml la cents in New York should not be thout the average range for years to come.” —Ultral Carolinian.

Wo have nothing to warrant us iu concluding that money will lie any plentier or that provisions will bo plentier. Provident farmers will begin in time to meet any emergency that may arise. When merchants sec a crisis abroad, they avoid increasing their slock of goods ami dismiss their clerks. When manufac turers find tlie market glutted, they curtail their ojieratlons and dismiss numbers of their hands. From this farmers may leant a useful lesson. Circumstances altercnses and every wise man, when he cannot con trol tlie circumstances by which lie is sur rounded, adapts his affairs, so far as he can to the circumstances by which lie is envi roned. Usually, it requires more musolc than brain to farm ; but at present the reverse is strictly f me. To farm successfully in the South, at present, requires an amount and a diversity of talents which nature ticstows on few men. A Southern farmer, besides having a knowledge of the cultivation of tbe soil, must be a dealer in com, bacon and molasses. In oue word, a keeper of innu merable small accounts. A Southern farm is a kind of retail shop. The owner of a Southern farm has to he on the continual look out lest he dribble out the whole in come of his farm aud receive liis pay in chips and whetstones. Such a state of things should, if possible, lie remedied. We see no way by which a change can be effected, but by inaugurating n course which will compel every tiller of the soil to receive his supplies out of his own corn-crib and smoke-house. What Kulus Otton (bus. Thousands of cotton gins are needlessly aimed, if not entirely mined,byonesimple cause. That cause is permitting moat or .iut cotton (that is, cotton that has been nice ginned,) tube mixed withseed cotton tud passed through the saws the second time. Such lintcottoucatchesintheteeth, • logs the saws, dulls the teeth, and bends or breaks the ribs, wears the I Mixes, aud strains the whole gin so as to make it pro duce a bad sample, and speedily becomes almost worthless, it likewise increases the draft so as to distress the mules propell ing the. gin, and creates so much friction as often to set the gin house oil tire. Thus can lie explained the burning oi many a gin house by the supposed spontaneous combustion of cotton. Hence every owner of agin houscshould lie careful about where his moat cotton is placed, alsoahout permitting the “flyings' or “ha’ging.-” to fall on his seed cotton. Above all should he tie particular in pre venting tlie ginner, or his assistant, when returning from the lint room after “pack ing the cotton back,” as it is called, front having any lint on his clothing. The usual assistant at a gin to hand seed cotton and “ pack back” lint is a playful urchin, win delights first to wallow in tho lint room ami then, v. ithout divesting himself of the lint adhering to his clothes, next to roll on the seed cotton. Oftentimes every boy, black and white, on a largo plantation, after a general frolic in the lint room will immediately emerge therefrom and contin ue their wrestling, rolling, romping over seed cotton, w ith a half pound of lint stick ing to each one’s ragged or woolen ap parel. Such play is of course delightful to the boys, but it is dear sport to the owners of the gin. In many gin houses, too, while packing cotton for market, much lint is mixed with the seed cotton, either by care lessness or by the wind. A gin is a costly machine, but it is not a delicate one or put out of order it previous ly ginned lint is kept out of the saws. In fact, a good gin, rightly managed, should— with little sharpening and small repairs- pick fifty bales of lint per year, and last a planter of average longevity bis lifetime whereas most gins become useless, or near ly so, in perhaps five years, from the single cause I have indicated. No child ever ought to be allowed to enter a lint room where it can well lie prevented.—X. C. Farmer. .
