The Ciilfirailon of Clover.
[ The tollnwinu private letL-i was not
intended (nr publication, but it is very
interesting.}—Journal Me&scngei.
Tkjokem, Ga-, July 2, 1SGS.
Dear S : I received vours of
29ili instant, asking my opinion about
clover. :Mv experience in clover rais
ing is very limited ; but I am perfectly
satisfied that it will grow fine in Middle
Georgia. I sowed in the winter—No
vember, JLSGG—about 20 acres, but
owing to the seventy of the weather,
the most of it was killed. I only let
about 3 of an acre stand, and I cut it
on the 15th June. I cut and cured be
tween 1,SU0 and 2,000 pounds of fine
hay—it grew from knee to waist high.
The land it grew upon is a small basin;
it has been cleared over forty years,
and had not a particle of manure on it.
It is a mulatto soil, remarkably adapt
ed to wheat. The same land would
make of ft good year, &00 pounds ol
seed cotton per acre. I will cut the
same piece again in August or Septem
ber. It has sprung up again very rap
idly—now hall leg high. I should have
cut it a month sooner, hut owing to
pressing business on my farm, I could
not do so. 1 have now one acre well
set that I sowed last fall, which will do
to cut next May. 1 turned this acre
lot with the two horse plow I bought
01 you—the Calhoun plow, 1 believe—
the 1st of September last, manured
heavily with stable manure and cotton
seed, and sowed wheat in October,
plowing it in with a common scooter
plow. I then sowed clover seed on
top of the land, brushing ihem in about
2 or 2£ gallons per acre. But I iliiuk
the be»i lime to.sow clover seed in this
climate is about the 1st of September;
it has time when sown then to g-’t a
root befoie the severity of winter.
We have not had scarcely any rain
in seven weeks, and yet my clover looks
well and flourishing. I see some bunch
es m my lir&t sowing in 1S60 on land
1 Iihl will not of a good year bring eight
bushels ot corn per acre. It is over
knee high and well seeded. It is not
worth while for any man to say Middle
Georgia will not bring clover. I say
and know it will, and successfully, too.
1 expect, il I should live many years,
to see not clover lots, but clover fields
in Middle Georgia. 1 shall this fall
sow 12 acres, and you will see or .hear
of Bob. K ’s clover field. I intend
to quit cotton—J have already done
so—and turn my attention principally
to grain ami clover. My advice to you
is this: Turn your land well with a
two-horse plow early in September.—
Let it lay some leu days, then sow in
wheat or bariey. Manure well; plow
in your grain with a common turning
plow, and, to ensure a good stand of
clover, 1 would sow 2b or 3 gallons of
seed per ucie. Brush it iu well, and
in twelve months you will be well paid
for your trouble.
Excuse this long Epistle.
Yours respectfully,
R. F. E.
flur Agricultural Future.
We have long believed that the great
esl fault and mistake in Southern plant
ing was the idea that the large planta
tion was more profitable than the small
one ; and in the constant effort, year by
year, to “put in” more land than the
planter bad tbe.last year. Were it on
the contrary, his study to see on bow
little land be could produce the same
amount of cotton, corn, potatoes, or the
like, and how much lie could increase
the price, he would get for it by raising
it of better quality, the profits of his
agriculture would be more certain,
while bis lands would themselves be
more constantly added to in value, not
only by their intrinsic productiveness,
but by the higher estimate which would
be put upon them in the market.
A great deal of money has been lost
during the last three years in purchas
ing new implements, for which the pur
chaser found no use. We allude now
only to useless and valueless ones, of
which there are always two invented
for one that is good, but to the very
best and most indispensable to modem
forming. In 'hese capes the purchaser
has either not been ably physically, or
has not understood how to use them,
but has carried them among ignorant
and prejudiced field hands, whom it. is
impossible to induce to use them. Let
no man hereafter purchase such things
until lie has secured the willing and
intelligent bands, his own are best to
employ them.
Now, too, is the best time to prepare
for the only true and sale way to hire
and pay form laborers, by the week or
month, and, when extra labor is need
ed at seasons, by the day. It is thus
that free labor is conducted throughout
the world, wherever it is profitable to
both parties, while it is always the
most satisfactory to each.
Let, then, our husbandman husband
his means, not of food only, but of land.
Let him draw in area of cultivation, so
that he may do it the greater justice,
and then let him hire and pay his
hands as they give him satisfactory la
bor, and next year will see us far more
prosperous than this, even if the extra
ordinary bounty ol Heaven, in its suns
and showers, which are this year expe
rienced, should not then be vouched
safe to us.—A 7 . O. Ficaynnc.
Head-Work in Farming.
By the term Head-work, I mean the
verification of the ancient saying of
‘making the head save the heels,’ or
lessening labor by forethought.
How often we hear persons give as
a reason for making a mistake that
‘they did not think!’ It is by no means
an uncommon thing to find two farmers,
having the same amount of work to do,
with the saine amount of help, and yet
one is always hurried, while with the
other everything goes on like clock
work. If you will take the trouble to
examine into the matter, you will find
that the latter works with his head as
well as with his hands. He lays out
his work iu advance, ami does not work
to a disadvantage; he does not rush at
a job without first thinking of or find
ing out the best and quickest mode ol
doing it.
Another great advantage to be de
rived from head work, is that it will
teach a man the true meaning of the
word economy. Many farmers ‘econ
omize’ in a way which is anything but
economy. How often do vve find
farmers who Kir economy’s sake ‘can
not afford to lime,’ yet these same men
must and will admit that the applica
tion of lime will greatly increase their
crops.
Let us apply head-work to this, and
see what such economy is. Almost
any one will admit that a coat of lime
applied to a field which has had none
tor ten or fifteen years, will increase
the yield to an amount equivalent to
two bushels of wheat per acre, and will
continue this rate of increase for five
years at least, or ten bushels, worth at
least $20. A coat of forty bushels per
acre will cost (cost of putting on in
cluded) about twenty cents per bushel,
or $S per acre. By applying these two
calculations to each oilier, we will see
that the lime is more than twice paid for
by the increased yield of the first five
y^ars, to say nothing of the after in
crease, for its action will extend be
yond five years. Therefore to cease
i liming is not economy by a great deal,
j Some will continue to use a worn-out
plowshare, ami instead of getting a
sharp one, wili raise Lite clevis and thus
run the plow upon its point, adding at
least one-fourth to the drught of the
team and plowing up the ground in a
manner which will shorten the crop to
;m amount which would huv ten or
fifteen shares. Such men wifi mostly
plead want of time as an excuse for not
doing many things which should have
been d one, yet such are always the men
who swell the crowd aL public sales,
and such places. We will find such
men running their plows against the
same ‘tight stones,’ year after yeai, or
plowing around the same stumps, be
cause they have not lime to remove
them; but they never seem to think
that the time spent in getting over ob
structions and iu replacing broken
plowshares, would be sufficient to re
move it several times.
We should remember that to practice
economy vve must not save a dollar and
thereby lose ten, or in other words,
adopt the old adage of ‘pennv wise and
pound foolish.’ We may look where
we will, in any kind of trade, ami we
will always find that the man who
practices head-work alwaj’s has the
inside track in th« race of file, while
your ‘economist’ is often left behind by
those who understand true economy.
[ Germantown Telegraph.
The live stock of the United States,
according to the recent reports of the
Agricultural Bureau at Washington,
has diminished to an extraordinary ex
tent since IS60. In these reports it is
stated that the number of milch cows
in the country is now smaller by five
per cent, than il was in 1SG0; the num
ber of working cattle is less by thirty
per cent.; the decrease in asses and
mules is twenty-eight per cent.; in
horses seventeen per cent.; in swine
nearly twenty percent. This diminu
tion is not very perceptible to the in
habitants of the loyal States, but it
should be remembered that in the
course of the rebellion all the domestic
animals of the cotton States were con
sumed. When the war was ended
there were literally no oxen, cows,
horses, asses; mules or swine left in all
the South.
Fig trees can easily be grown from
the cuttings or n ot shoots, and it is cer
tainly strange that they are not planted
in every lot in town, and farm in the
country. The fig is universally es
teemed as the best of fruit, and the
tree is long living and ornamental.
S. ff. Georgia—Culling Timber.
Editors Southern Cultivator: South
Western Georgia is one of the best
peach countries in the so-called United
States, but for the white worm—worm
around the collar of the tree. I’ve
fought them for year s with many
wen [tons, but with no one have I con-
quoted them. Would be greatly oblig
ed to you for some successful plan.
1 see from the last No. of your jour
nal, which I had in my hand a lew
moments, and the only one I’ve seen
since the war, that the subject of cut
ting timber, with a view of its lasting,
is still discussed. Now' of this I’ve
been satisfied for years, and thought all
men of experience were. Apart from
my own experience, I have the docu
ments to prove—if 1 had time to collect
them, and it was vvorlh while—that
when the sap is rising and in full flow,
even now in this section, is the time.—
All timber for building, for rails, for
carriages, or any other purpose, will
last about four times as loag cut now,
as at any other time. Stakes cut now,
whether split or round, and set top in
the ground, will last “forever,” compar
atively. 'NIMROD RAMBO.

Cotton Seed ux a Manure.
Editors Southern Cultivator: I see a
good deal sail! in the late Nos. ol the
Cultivator, about the preparation of
cotton seed for applying as a manure.
I very much doubt the necessity of any,
and the proprie*y of some of these
preparations. ] manured a piece of
corn ground with cotton seed this
spring, after the following manner:
'Hie land had not been previously
broken sinee last year, when I laid off:
the rows by running twice in the same j
furrow, with a turning plow, throwing
the dirt each way ; and in the bottom
of this already pretty deep furrow, I
next run a bull-tongue as deep as pos
sible. In this furrow’ I now strewed
the sound cotton seed, say about three
or four times as thick as they are or
dinarily sown in planting cotton, and
covered them as well as could be done
by running the bull-longe on one side,
and as close to the furrow in which
they are in, as possible. 1 now drilled
the com along the first furrow on top j
ol lire soil, which covered the cotton !
?eed, and covered il by running with j
bull-tongue in the same manner, but on
opposite side of the first furrow from
that on which it was run to cover the
cotton seed. Some of the cotton came
up with the corn, but w as covered or
cut up t.f e first working, without any
trouble. The corn now looks splendid
ly, considering the land it was on—al
together superior to that on land of
same quality, without manure. Per
haps the cotton seed wouid have been
better with some preparation, but I
don’t see it.
