To Youug Farmers.
Wo must give one more extract from
General Mitchell’s excellent address , the
ad vice to young farmers is worthy of their
attention, and is patriotic and seasona
ble :—
In the cultivation of your farms, avoid
the error, much too common, of cultivating
more land than you can well manure, or
larger crops than you can well take care
of. Do not over stock yourself; and let
such as you have, be of the best kind.—
Have in winter for them a plenty of food,
and in summer rich and abundant pastu
rage. Never turn your hogs in the commons
or woods with the hard-hearted injunction,
“root hog or die.” It is not humane or
honest. The hog will not root when he
can find no lood ; and the next thing you
hear of him, will be his shriek of pain, in
your neighbors cornfield ; or when you see
ltim*(if you do at all,) it will be minus two
ears, or a torn and lacerated body. The
hog is naturally no rogue ; his necessities,
like those of some other animal, may make
him so; but if you give him plenty of food,
lie will eat and sleep, and be contented;
and furnish you with the rich and juicy
ham. I trust the time is uot far distant,
when our woods will cease to be vocal at
the morning’s dawn with the hoarse calling
of the hog-minder : these notes are not so
pleasant, my friends, at that delightful sea-
sou of the day, as either the warblings of
the feathered songsters, or the merry song
of the milk maid, as she trips it lightly to
her morning task.
Another error, my young farmer friends,
which is but too common, and which you
must avoid, to be successful cultivators of
the soil, is to be found after the dawn
of day indulging iu the lazy nap.—
If your servants find you lazy, they
will be so too. If you nap in the morning,
they will do so also; and if you wish to be
successful and prosperous farmers, you
must give your eye at all times, aud your
hand frequently, to every part of your
farming operations. There are many oth
er errors common to the farmers hereabouts
which it would take too much time to
enumerate, and which your own judgement
aud experience will teach you uot 10 fall
into. Let me advise you, also, that altho’
it is your duty not be indifferent to your
country’s affairs, and to take that interest
and part iu its concerns, which as patri
ots aud good citizeus, you are hound to do;
not to be seduced from your calling by the
hope of office, or the desire of political
preferment. No, my young fanner friends,
let ambition alone ; for there
“Dreant after dream ensues,
And still they dream that they shall still succeed
Aud still they are disappointed.
On the summit see,
The seals of office glitter in his eyes;
He climbs—lie pants—he grasps them. At his heels-
Close at his heels a demagogue ascends,
And with a dex trousjerk now twists him down,
And wins them, but to lose them in his turn.”
Let your ambition be to excel in that
vocation which you have chosen. You
can become as distinguished in that, and
as much for the benefit of your race, as in
any other. Let me, however, say to those
of you who are desirous of commencing the
farmer’s life, not to turn your thoughts to
a distant land, in the vain hope that you
will do better there than here. You may
be doomed to a sad disappointment; and
after spending your substance, as did the
prodigal son, iu riotous living, or it may be
injudicious speculation, and after your
wearyings and your wanderings, you may
with disappointed hopes and sad hearts
turn your faces towards your good old na
tive couuty, and deeply regret that you
have ever left it, and earnestly desire to
be there again among your kindred and
your friends. I have myself travelled
much over this vast country of ours. J
Lave visited it East and West, North and
South. I have looked upon its mighty
cataracts, its lofty mountains, its thousands
of fertile acres, on the mighty father of
rivers ; and ycfel have found u«> place sur
passing this, *‘my own dear native land,”
in the beauty of its scenery, the fertility
of many portions of its soil, aud (suscepti
bility of all being made so) the sociability
aud intelligence of it its inhabitants, and
the beauty, grace aud elegance of its wo
men. I can truly say, in tbe language of
the poet,
“Wlier’er I roam, whatever feud I see,
My heart untravel'll fondly turns to thee.”
Your county and State,I verily believe,
is destined, front its locai advantages, from
tbe spirit of improvement which abounds
in it, to be the garden spot of America, if
tbe united, conservative patriotism, of the
country, looking above and beyond the
mere claims of party, will join aud give
their earucet aid and co operation iu chok
ing out the uoxious weed of fanaticism aud
abolitionism.
To Destroy- Kosk Bros.—A very effec
tual and simple method of getting rid of
these pests, is to smoke them thoroughly
with the smoke of burning leather. It is
very offensive to they), and will cause them
to vamose at once.
A wag was once heard to say, that the
difference betweeii Southern and Northern
people is, those iu the South never sell any
thing that they can eat, while those in the
North uever eat anything they cau sell.
From the Scientijic American.
buUoii aud its Supply.
The manufacturing and commercial com
munities are deeply exercised at present
respecting the supply of cotton for manu
facturing purposes. Very large meetings
have been held recently in Englaud,
and active measures taken to encourage the
cultivation aud cotton in several of the
British coiouics; and in private, as well as
public, cotton has been tbe uuiversal theme
ot discussion. What is the cause of this
excitement respecting cotton l The an
swer is to found iu the position of the
cotton-growing States of America. Fears
are entertained by manufacturers of cotton
goods, that contingences may arise by
which the cultivation of the plant iu these
States may be interfered with, and the
regular annual supply be greatly dimin
ished. Such a result would not only
raise the price ol cotton, but owing to the
dimiuished amount furnished to manufac
turers, many thousands of operatives in
Europe and America would be deprived of
employment, and a vast amount of capital
invested in buildings aud mechanism would
be rendered unproductive. Tbe whole
cotton crop of America last year, was
4,675,770 bales and of this 3,697,727 bales
were exported, and 1)78,041! used at home.
England alone took 2,582,000 bales, which
amounted to about four-fifths of her entire
consumption. It is no wonder that this
question causes considerable exeitemeut
at present, and especially iu England,
where four millions of persons are stated
to he connected with, and dependent for
support on the cotton manufacture.
The great desire of the cotton manufac
turers is to increase the supply of cotton in
many different parts of the world, so that
they may uot bo so dependent upon one
particular section of the globe. Several
erroneous views have lately been propa
gated on this subject. The growers of any
material are just as dependent upon con
sinners as tjie latter are upon the former.
The laws of trade regulate these things,
and there is no earthly mode of controlling
the influence of the cotton growing region
of the Gulf of Florida but by raising as
good qualities of cotton at lower pi ices, in
other sections of the world. Now the
question arises :—“Gan this be accom
plished ?” So far as we have a knowledge
of the various climates, we think it can
not, without new ageucies being brought
into requisition. Cotton requires a warm,
moist climate ; it is as sensitive to drouths
as to frosts, and so far as we know, the
warm breezes of the Gulf of Florida sup-
supply that moisture to the plant in
America, which cannot be obtained in
any other warm climate without arti
licial irrigation. Cotton is raised in
Egypt, the laud of no rain; but the
plants are watered by artificial ageucies,
from the Nile, at a great cost for such la
bor. India, Africa, and China, wet and
dry seasons prevail; there are no gentle
showers of frequent occurrence, as in the
Southern States : therefore the drouths in
those countries are unfavorable to the culti
vation of cotton, as compared with Ameri
ca. The development of the American
cotton trade affords evidence of great nat
ural advantages. The cotton fields of
America embrace an erca of 500,000 square
miles, and the capital invested in the cul
tivation of the plant amounts to 89U0,OOO.
OOO. Seventy years ago, the exports of
our cotton were only 420 bales—uot one
tenth of the amount furnished by several
countries to England. Now, America
furnishes five-sevenths of the surplus cot
ton product of the entire world ; it has in
creased while other cotton countries have
decreased. There must be a reason for
this, as the best American herbaceous cot
ton is not indigenous to the soil; the seed
was first imported. We cau only attribute
these results to great care in its culture
and the natural advantages of climate
which we have described. We do not
say that it is impossible to cultivate cotton
as cheaply and to raise as good qualities
as American cotton in other countries, but
we do assert that without great and new
improvements in machinery for cultivating,
irrigating and cleaning it, so as to lessen
the cost for labor, such results cannot be
achieved.
IvEMEDV FOR FEACII BoitER. J. Vail
Buren, of Clarksville, Georgia, recom
mends the following :
