The Cherokee Georgian. LABOR. Toil swings the ax, and forests bow ; The seeds break out in radiant bloom ; Rich harvests smile beyond the plow, And cities cluster round the loom. Where towering domes and tapering spires Adorn the vale and crown the hill, Stout labor lights its beacon firei, [mill. That plumes with smoke the forge and The monarch oak, the woodland pride, Whose trunk is seamed with lightning Toil launches on the restless tide, [scars, And there unrolls the flag of stars; The engine with its lungs of flame, And ribs of brass and joints of steel, From labor’s plastic fingers came, With sobbing valve and whirling wheel. ’Tis labor works the magic press, And turns tire - crank in hives of toil, And beckons angels down to bliss ; Industrious hands on sea and soil. Here sun-browned toil, with shining spade Links lake to lake with silver ties, Strung thick with palaces of trade, And temples towering to the skies. AGRICULTURAL. Cause of Failure in Farming. It is a very popular idea that men of quick, ordinary capacity, simple in their ideas, inferior in discernment and frugality, plainly ignorant, though industrious, are capable of farming successfully—time lend ing experience. Experience, At is true, is the chart . aculturist bases the assurance of his future success; but, as in most other industrial pursuits, it must be attended with skill, judgment, am bition, and industry, in order that he may attain the so-much-desired end. Every farmer is liable to meet with ad versity; it being beyond human control, none can avert it. But the judicious and experienced farmer can notice numerous, unmistakable errors effected by the unskill ed culturist. He foresees, and consequently avoids, losses which the injudicious farmer is left to realize. ... _ f »■ lOnfc of the cassis of figure it/ farming i.<a want ofjadap tat ion ©f the productiofa to the soil. Thus we notice farmers grow wheat or corn in an exhausted, clayey soil; grasses on the hillside, etc. This, the in telligent reader will admit, is a very im proper course. The reverse would be more conducive to success. Another cause of failure is practicing the special crop sys tem. The disadvantages in this method of soil cultivating are obvious. If the crop cultivated provesn failure, it might be said one season’s farming is a failure. Again, constant successive cultivation of the same crop will render the soil unproductive un der the most judicious tillage, from the fact that the proper nutritive elements requisite in any particular case will become exhaust ed. The soil obtains its mineral constitu ents from the subjacent rocks, and some ®f them are contained in very small quanti ties, and thus would be very soon exhaust ed. In mixed husbandly the nourishment consunved in each preceding crop is eon- Hsiorbd by the decomposition of its subsoil. From this it may readily be inferred that special-crop farming greatly augments the liability of a fatal termina tion. Overstocking is also to be considered as a cause of unsuccess. Especially is this the case in the summer season, where farm ers are m the habit of turning their cattle out to pasture; this error is also modified by turning them out too early in the sea son. Too large a stock turned out to grass too early a loss to the elaborate fiirmef. The herbage of the field has not yet attained its proper nutritious principles; it is young and tender, and when the over stock assails it, soon the field is laid almost bare, rendering the pasture insufficient the remainder of the season, at least under or dinary conditions. Such proceedings will also most assuredly deprive the soil of its necessary protection against the reefs of stein winter, and there will be continual ing iprlng, 'which ftr very iftfunonixo tire growth of the succeeding crop. There is a class of farmers whose method of tilling the soil appears to lie handed down from fine posterity to another, and presenting the same series of phenomena throughout, namely, a lack of ambition and enthusiasm as well as skill. Simply a dragging along in a kind of rut which their ancestors had already modeled and scooped out before them. Any attempt to pursue a dith a fatal shock at once, in consequence of the want of proper qualifications. Other causes noticeable are waste, unnecessary fencing, etc.; but as they are of less moment we shall not enter into detail about them. — [Rural New Yorker. Corn. Oats, and Cotton. From the consolidated reports of the crops in Georgia, furnished by the Commis sioner o( A6 the foHoW' utg facts:- ;lJv ! ' The aw rage cost of producing a bushel of corn in Georgia, under the present ad verse circumstances, is reported at fifty eight cents, or a little more titan one cent a pound, while the average cash price al which it has sold in Georg a for several years bus been about two cents a juiund, and the credit RWhWo and a half to three cents a pound. Is it not remarkable that <arm rs prefer paying twice or three times as much tor Western corn as that raised on their own farms coats them, in order that they may enjoy the pleasure of raising < pu.o,u l*> 'lnc ! «ls rt flreti myc a oorutuentarv on the financial conduct of com buyers hi Georgia. Again on s are produced in Georgia al an avera e C”st of twenty-nine cents a bus!.< 1. or less than one erm a pound, which > I ss than one-third the average price at ivv’t th v h ire «o‘d in Georgia f«»r s me • < .• V '1 : om< s». continue to buy corn and oats at three times the cost of raising them on their own farms? Taking into consideration the cost of production, the chemical analysis, and the comparative freedom from stealage, oats are cheaper as stock food than corn. One bushel or 56 pounds of corn costs 58 cents, while one bushel or 32 pounds of oats costs 29 cents, making a difference of 13 cents in the cost of 100 pounds of the two. Chem ical analysis jbows that oats contain 12 per cent, of albuminoid or flesh and muscle producing principle, while corn contains 10 per cent. It will thus be seen that for work animals oats are more valuable than com as food when equal, are used. Consider, now, that 100 pounds of oats cost 13 cents less than 100 pounds of corn, and the case stands decidedly in favor of oats for work stock. In fat producing properties corn has 7 per cent., oats 6 per cent It will be seen, therefore, that when equal weights only are compared, corn has the advantage as a fat producer, but taking the cost also into con sideration, there is no choice in this respect. Another decided advantage of oats for our climate, and especially for summer use. is that, while they supply more muscle, they are less healing and more invigorating to tbwwork animal consuming them. Still another advantage is freedom from rotten grain and weavil. which frequently cause corn to injure stock. Still another item in ffcvor of oats is that freedmen do not eat them, nor can they*so readily sell them when stolen. The average coat of a pound of cotton to the producer is reported at eleven cents, which varies very little from the average selling price, on the farm, of the present crop. This corresponds with the fact that ninety-six per cent, of the correspondents report that cotton can not be raised at a profit on bought supplies, and eighty-four per cent, say that cotton can Ire raised at a profit at present prices on aupplles made at home. This is readily understood, in view of the facts that bought corn and oats cost from two to three times as much as home made ; that, as reported by correspondents, only 47 4>er cent, of a home supply of pork is raised in the State, and that, while it costs an average of S6O per head to raise a mule or a horse on the farm, $1,000,780 were expended in their purchase from dn>| vers, at an average cost per bead of more than twice the cost of raising them. Farmbrs Want and Need. —We doubt not that farmers want much, and need more. They want their burdens lightened, both as to direct and indirect taxes. They need better reward for their labor and products. They want no monopolies fostered by the State and National governments vThey need Ao increase of offices or salaries. They want fewer officers and lower salaries in many ot the fat offices. They need less and want better legislation. They need men in office whose aim i» not money making, but serve for the good of the pe - pie. They want men who will not seek office so constantly, but will wait till asked to take office by those to be served. They need more systematic, industrious, ener getic lal>or, and want no idle hearts, heads, or hands, in any department of business. They need less extravagance in govern ment and among individuals, and want more of good common-sense economy, and the people educated to the industries and necessities of the times. They need a gov ernment to do the greatest good for the greatest number of her people, and they want the people to feel proud of that gov ernment.—[Rural Sun.

The latest exploit of Ida Lewis in rescu ing a man from drowning in Newport har bor, recalls the earlier achievements which gave her the title of the Grace Darling of America. Miss Lewis first came into prom inence in 1866, when she saved the life of a soldier who had set out for a sail in the harbor in a light skiff. It was one of the coldest and most blustering days ever known in that latitude, yet a girl but twenty-five years old, impelled by the no* blest spirit of humanity, ventured to the assistance of a man who had brought him self into a sorry plight through sheer fool hardiness. One day during the autumn of the following year, while a terrible gale was raging, two men set out to cross the harbor with several sheep, and, m trying to rescue one that had fallen overboard, came near swamping their boat. Seeing their peril from the window of her father’s light house, Miss Lewis went to their aid, and, after landing them safely, went back and rescued the sheep. But her greatest ex ploit was perform'ed on the 20th of March, iB6O, when a boat containing two young sailors and a boy was struck by a squall in the harbor and overturned. Though ill at the time, Ida rushed out of the house, launched her life-boat, sprang in, with neither hat on her head nor shoes on her feet, reached the wreck just in time to eave the two sailors as they were about losing tbe>r hold from exhaustion, the boy having meanwhile perished, and rowed them to the lighthouse. Miss Lewis’s repeated aeta •f philanthropy have been recognised by gifts at vartoua.4imes4 but no national tes timonial has been offered to her, and it is suggested that among the first to receive tie new decoration to be bestowed by Con gress for heroic deeds in saving fife should be the heroine of Newport harbor. It is computed that eighteen million hogs will have gone into the pork barrels of this country by January. The figures bring a grunt of satisfaction from every corner of the land . -MONEY MADE. I desire to call the attention of all those who owe me anything, that iheir accounts and notes are now due, and that I am compelled to have money. We have been bless ed .with bountiful crops, and all can pay who are so as I will take corn, fodder, wheat, oats, rye, cotton, peas, potatoes, pork, and almost everything, in payment of debts due me. So 1 hope my old friends and customers will re spond liberally to this call, for by so doing they will save cost and their good name at the same time. I mean business, when I say that I am compelled to have money. All those who are indebted to the firm of McAfee A Moss must pay their accounts and notes at once. Those failing to do so, or to make satis factory arrangements, will certainly find their accoixht/in thl ’hlflls ot collecting officers. I want to purchase 10,000 bun dles of fodder and 1,000 bushels of corn, for which I wjU pay goods or cash to those not indebted to me.
