Thoughts for the Month.
The principal work for the present
month will be to keep the land in good
tilth. In the cotton fields particularly
the sweep, cultivator or Harrow should
be run as frequently as possible. It is
especially important that cotton
should make “weed” very rapidly now.
There is no danger of overgrowth or
shedding in June, and the plant ought
to have every facility for growing and
making “forms.” The bottom crop is
in some respects the surest, and the
sooner the plaut acquires size, the
larger the crop "ill be. It has bct-
ter chances to escape drought and is
never cut off by Caterpillars. It is
useless to add that keeping the sur
face stirred and free from crusts, pro
motes continuous healthy growth.—
Under the old extensive system, so large
a number of acres was allotted to each
plough; that it was impossible to “ get
around” the crop very often. He was
regarded as an excellent manager, who
did not allow more than three weeks
to elapse, before beginning over again.
Let it be remembered, however, that
that interval was not fixed upon as the
shortest which would benefit the crop,
but the result of necessity, when such
large crops were planted. No rule can
be laid down, but the oftener the bet
ter.
PLOUGH SHALLOW.
When land has been properly pre
pared and cultivated up to this time,
there is little danger of its “running
together” again, and all deep running
ploughs may be laid aside in the cul
tivation of the crop. A plough run
ning one inch deep will answer every
purpose—all that is necessary being
to kill grass and weeds and keep the
surface well pulverized. Keeping open
the pores of the skin of old mother
earth, is all that is needed now. Let
in the air and the dew, and permit
the roots to go everywhere without
being disturbed ; these are the leading
considerations.
GETTING THE CROP CLEAN.
Now is the time to get rid of grass.
The earlier workings may with safety
be done rapidly—those in the early
part of June, ought to be done thor
oughly. Every pains should be taken
to get rid of grass now—this done and
enough dirt may hereafter be thrown
to the plants by the plough, to do away
almost entirely with the use of the
hoe. All old farmers know that if the
“ May grass” is conquered, the battle
is easily won.
Early in this month, if not already
done, cotton should be brought to “its
final stand.” No superfluous plant
should be allowed to remain any long
er, to withdraw food from those which
are to make the crop. What a prop
er stand is, each one must decide for
himself. The wider the rows, the
greater the crowding in the drill, pos
sible.
LAY1NG-BY CORN.
More or less of this will be-done du
ring the present month. Where corn
has had proper cultivation, and the
land is clean and in good tilth, it may
receive its last ploughing when in
the “bunch.” It is well to throw
some dirt to the plants, that the ‘spur’
roots may be well buried in the soil.
These roots play a very important
part in the final development of the
plaut—penetrating the soil to consid
erable depths and sending off immense
quantities of fibrous roots to act as
feeders. Late, deep aod close plougb-
ings injure many ol these and do great
harm.
Where corn is laid by early, it is
particularly important that it should
be perfectly clean, otherwise it is like
ly to become very foul before the
close of summer. The best plan is to

Editor Southern Cultivator:—I notice
many are perplexed about getting
clear of pine woods. It has happened
to my lot to have to deal with this
growth mainly; moreover, being a
North Carolinian, it becomes me to
speak in behalf of the pine, and to ex
claim :
“Woodman spare that tree.
Touch not a single bough,
In youth it sheltered me,
Aud I'll protect it now. - ’
I do not think if any one has twen
ty-five acres of cleared land to the
horse, be ought by any means to open
more —especially not well-set pine
lands. My experience leads me to the
conclusion that it is generally best to
have as many or more acres uncultiva
ted as are in cultivation. Feed the
lands yearly that are cultivated from
the uncultivated sections, and your
readers are assured that after doing so
a few years, they would be loth to de
sist from such a good work ; and would
not be so eager to find an easy way to
destroy their plantations. A portion
of my land three years ago being old
and worn out, has since that time
been brought to a remunerative state
of cultivation, by hauling pine straw
three hundred and fifty failed to ma
ture; their fruit were what are some
times called Winter Peaches. Out of
the remaining six 'hundred and sixty
trees, not one produced lruit like the
original, and not one was considered
worthy of propagation.
When by some law of nature to us
unknown, a first class peach is pro
duced, very few, it any, of its seeds
will grow. The pits are small and
open, and in place of the kernal there
is only a glutinous matter. Fine
peaches generally have small seeds
with imperfect kernels, while very
poor sour peaches have large seed, and
are the best to grow stock for grafting-
or to bud on. B. Hamilton.
Dalton, Ga. May 1, 1873.
From the American Farmer.
It is estimated that the cultivable
land of South Carolina is capable of
sustaining four times its present pop
ulation—that few acres in it are
so sterile that they will not cover
their own nakedness with vegetable
matter during the summer—and this
growth can be and should be turned
to account by introducing sheep upon
to stables regularly, and by filling pens | the spot where it grows to consume
15 feet square with compost, at every ; it. The manner of accomplishing this
opportune time. The pens last long-j is thus presented by Col. Aikin :

compelled to clear some pine lauds, I

and lots. When they are ready to
commence clearing, mark off wide bor
ders on every side, to be left, to keep
up the land they wish to work when
it becomes old. After cutting, pile
all the brush in rows across the field,
as has been suggested by one of your
contributors. I should have mention
ed that stables make the most manure
by being emptied twice a year—pens
when they have been decaying one
year.
I do not advocate composting to the
exclusion of the using of guano, but
only wish to bring its merits to the
notice of those who have facilities of
improving their condition with its aid.
It is fortunate lor the country that
there can be no easily devised way of
destroying the pine tree—unquestion
ably the best friend to impoverished
lands yet known to agriculturists.
J. S. Myers.
Charlotte, N. C.
We should be much obliged (as our
readers would be also) for a full des
cription of the composting process
| practiced by Mr. M.; how the materials
j are arranged in the pens, and what
in what man-
ewe will with the greatest certainty
produce a lamb, and the wool-clips
from any flock of grade Merinos will
more than compensate for the trouble
and expense annually incurred. As
an article of diet, no flesh is more de
licious than mutton, and as an evidence
that the prejudice existing against the
peculiar taste of mutton is rapidly
yielding to popular favor, it will com
mand at all times a higher price than
beef or pork. That more sheep are
not grown in South Carolina is amaz
ing, and can only be accounted for
from the infatuation of our farmers up
on the cotton crop. Any system of
plantation economy adopted in this
state of ignoring the sheep flock is in
complete and expensive.
Growing wool and bacon at home,
and substituting the small grain crop
for corn, except where corn can be
most profitably grown, is by no means
ar. abandonment of the culture of cot
ton. The system will curtail the area,
but tends to increase the yield, and
thereby encourages the farmer to aim
labor on the farm should be adopted,
for no question has so worried and
troubled the Southern planter during
the past few years as that of labor.
When labor was capital, never were
the two antagonistic elements known
to harmonize more beautifully; but at
present they are the antipodes of each
other in the South ; and, contrary to
all anticipations of practical economy,
where they conflict, labor usually be
comes ascendant. No amount of capi
tal can control that peculiar system of
labor now existing at the South. Fair
wages will command a sort of make
shift performance. Enhanced pay, or
wages increased even ten-fold, will not
perceptibly improve the quality of the
work. Fifty cents an acre may hoe
an acre of cotton, seventy-five cents
will not perform the work any better.
Ten dollars per month will command
so much labor; twenty dollars per
month will not improve the quality,
nor increase the quantity of the same
work. Such a general condition will
continue during this generation. Each
individual farmer may effect a different
and better result upon his own farm,
but to make the change general, some
system must be adopted that will pro
duce the same result with less depen
dence upon this inefficient labor. If
a substitution of the small grain crop
for the corn crop upon most of our
plantations, dispenses with one-third
of the plough animals on the planta
tion, the same system will discharge
the same proportion of labor. Six la
borers are required to cultivate sev
enty-five acres of land, if thirty be in
corn and forty-five cotton. Four la
borers will cultivate the same area, if
thirty be in small grain and forty-five
in cotton, thus saving to the employer
the hire and rations of one-third the
laborers, as well as one-third of the
plough stock.
This system, too, enables the farmer
to rest his lands, or (by succeeding his
small grain with a green crop to turn
under in the fall, such as the pea crop
sown broadcast, at the rate of two
bushels to the acre) so rotate his sum
mer crop as to improve his lands per
ceptibly in a few years. Large yields
of cotton may put money in the pock
et, but it annually impoverishes the*
farmer. Strange paradox! but, nev
ertheless, true. Any cron that fre
quentlv turns the surface of our soil to
the bleaching agency of the sun du
ring our hot summer months, must by
evaporation extract from the soil more
fertility than is restored to it by a
sprinkling of a few pounds of caustic
fertilizers. Afid our washing rains al
ways tall during the summer, washing
away the little soluble matter, or
plant-food, the soil contains. Hence
the devotee to cotton may for a few
years receive handsome returns for his
labors, but lie seldom leaves to his oft-
spring an inheritance of an improved
plantation.”
Col. Aiken deems it unprofitable to
attempt to raise cattle in the greater
portion of South Carolina as a market
able commodity, but insists that a
sufficient amount for the family, and a
supply for milk and butter, should
suffice. In considerable portions ol
the State, the heavy tramp ot cattle is
injurious to the light land ; in addition
to which they are poor scavengers and
require too much feeding from’Novem
ber to May to be profitable. In reply
to this latter objection, that of winter
feeding, he says:
Sheep will winter themselves upon
our cotton fields and the early sown
grain, but cattle must be housed and
fed. Fortunately, however, any acre
of upland, thoroughly prepared by

the practice general.
PEAS.
The main crop of these should be
planted this month—whether among
corn or by itself. We have always
warmly advocated the planting of a
large crop of peas to themselves, re
garding it as one of the best and cheap
est crops grown. The seed may be
drilled by a planter very rapidly, and
one hoeing and at most two plough-
ings with a sweep, will make the crop.
It may follow oats or wheat—or may
be planted even in an old sedge field.
Stock may harvest the crop, or scythe
or reaper may cut it down, and the
seed be gotten out with a thresh.—
With oats and peas the stock on a
farm may be kept in best condition
without corn, and at greatly less ex
pense than when fed on corn alone.
Oats are rapidly gaining in public fa
vor—would that we could give a simi
lar impulse to peas. The speckled or
Whippoorwill pea planted early in
June may be taken off the ground in
time to sow oats in September, leav
ing the land in splendid condition for
the latter crop. Moreover, the roots,
• stems and leaves of the pea will fur-
msb nitrogenous matter, the very
' thing which above all else, the Oat
/ plant needs in most of our soils.
HARVEST.
It requires great judgment and en
ergy to harvest small grain crops well,
(if of any size) without interfering se
riously with the corn and cotton crops.
Many a farmer has gotten badly “ in
the grass” by stopping the ploughs
and hoes to cut small grain. Work
should be arranged weeke in advance
with reference to the harvest. As
hands are in unusual demand at that
time, it is best to hire extra hands in
advance and get the crops in such con
dition that the regular hands on the
farm may do the harvesting. No ex-
borbitant prices will then have to be

Peaches not Re-produced from the
* Seed.
Editor Southern Cultivator :—Having
been engaged in fruit growing and the
nursery business for foity years, and
having made seedling varieties of
peaches and apples a specialty, my ex
perience and observation convinces me
that “ W. R.” whose article appears
in the April number of the Cultiva
tor, is altogether mistaken in refer
ence to any variety of peach re-pro
ducing itself from seed. I am aware
that the peach known as the White
English, and some of the early varie
ties, particularly the Tillotson, often
produce from the seed a fruit very
much resembling the original, but on
careful examination of the tree, leaf,
bloom, time of ripening, the color,
size and flavor of the fruit, there will
be a marked difference observed.
Again, “ W. R.” thinks from a tree
too remote from any other tree for the
ly produces corn enough to feed the
laborers and plough animals, and not
a sufficiency of cotton to guarantee an
appreciable net income to the farming
community.
If more grasses and small grain were
sown, and less corn cultivated, the
number of plough animals, which are
expensive feeders, might be greatly
reduced. For instance, the mule that
can cultivate twenty-five acres of corn
and cotton, can cultivate the same
proportion of cotton, and twice as
many acres of small grain as of corn.
Or if three mules be required to culti
vate forty-five acres of cotton and thir
ty acres of corn, by a substitution of
small grain for corn, two mules can cul
tivate the forty-five acres of cotton,
and the thirty acres of small grain,
thus on a three mule farm of the pres
ent system, by this substitution saving
the expense of keeping annually one
mule.

the same area. They should be sown
in the drill, on highly manured and
well prepared land, in July or August,
