AGRICULTURAL.
W< rk for the Season.
This is the time of the year to set your
plans for the coming cropping season, and
as system is needful in all things, more
*bsipecfally in the various workings of the
farm, conclusions should now be matured
facts.
All contracts for labor for the coming
season have probably been made, or, if not,
should be made without delay. The exact
acreage of each crop should now be de
cided Upon, the fields for each crop should
be selected, the fences repaired where ne
cessary, and the plows be started with a
rush, that the under soil may get a sharp
P liiut l n g
If. soil is close and runs together, a few
ioads of leaves, woods litter, etc., may be
profitably thrown on such places, in the
absence of a supply of ashes or lime.
Careful experiment has shown that, in
the absence of a great abundance of ma
nure,’the best plan is to manure in the hill.
The general idea that liberal manuring in
the hill is to fire. the plant in the dry
seasenunay be obviated by (his plan : Take
plow, and lay off the corn
ruws with a double furrow; then check
with a one-horse plow, whatever distance
may be desired for planting; then haul all
tire manure yon can rake up, driving the
'■cart so as to straddle the rows, while two
follow, taking four rows, drop
ping a good shovelful in ench hill. When
the field has been gone over this way, cover
w by running around with a one-horse
'turner. At planting time, open the furrow
and drop well-selected corn, covering with
two furrows. Just before the corn comes
wp, go over it with a close iron-toothed
which is equal to one plowing.
This gives the corn such a start that the
first plowing may be close and deep.
In the absence of clover, grass, or extra
pastures, the old sedge fields
-should be burned off for early pasturage.
This grass is the earliest and most abund
ant sis any wild variety, and mules will
quit their corn and cows their hay to graze
upon it. Theyiekl of milk ami, butler from
it Is bouptiful* and rich, whiles there is no
doubt as to the fat and muscle it supplies

corn for feed.
1 /Let every farmer see to it that the garden
is not neglected. Blacken the earth with
manure, and plow or spade under. When
theground is dry enough to work easily,
in firings bed'of spring turnips and a
*jjecf of English peas. CoVer the peas with
*Cotlon seed to prevent freezing ; they will
die and become plant food. Parsnips, car
rWfs,"‘radishes, lettuce, onions, etc., may
nQw be sown and planted as opportunity
oilers.
Now is the time to commence setting
out, trimming, and mulching fruit trees and
vines.
The Indies may commence now, too, to
remodel their flower-beds, prune the shrub
bery, etc.
Coming South to See.
We notice in some of the daily papers
that it iS the purpose of a number of North
western farmers. to visit the South in the
early spring, on a prospecting tour. As
these gentlemen are coming for the purpo?e
of,seeing the beauty and richness of our
States for the probable purpose of securing
more t congenial and pleasant homes, it
would be well for granges and agricultural
societies to agree upon some harmonious
plan of action, by which a pleasant and
profitable visit may be the result. It. is a
' notable fad that the railroads of the South
.permeate the poorest and bast inviting
eeationsjof the country. Real estate agents
make agreeable and valuable companions,
and cities may wine and dine this delega
tion, and the railroads give them a general
round ; but it is essential, for practical re
sults, tint the farmers lake them in hand,
offer a hespitabkr welcome at home, show
Uhmo around, introduce them to your best
neighbors, give honest iuformstion as to
th” beet lands, show the results of our best
me h als of cultivation, and a general idea
. of what the Spqtfi is .to be. Offer your
. Jauds ala low, reasonable valua
and airivu iu ewiy waj' tois< cure
them as neighbors. Yoa hive lauds, but
not the money to improve them. One hun
. dual acres pf land, profitably cultivated are
belter than three hundred worked at hap
hazard, and by tenants. By increasing the
‘ population of our country there will be de
hpuid for factories, and your surplus njon
~ eys, thrown together, will build them.

i To the citizens of Cherokee
county: •
After having been engaged fer
nine years in the mercantile busi
ness in vour midst, I have become
convinced that the credit system is
all wrong. To follow it, a merchant
. ! has either to charge enormous pre
fits, or ruin himself by selling
' time. Those of you who pay
! promptly havfc to pay such large
: profits that, the merchant* can as
-1 ford to lose the accounts of your
. , neighbor^,wjio arc not disposed to
pay, or who are unfortunate and
can not pay. In other words, good
. men have to pay for the goods pur
t chased .by their unfortunate or
dishonest neighbors. This state of
things is wrong, and when a man
. is satisfied that he is wrong he
) should change iris course, or be
' held responsible for living in the
i wron
. Fully convinced that the above
’’position is correct, I havo’dster
t mined to sell, after the Ist of De
•’pHiiber next, exclusively for cwk
; or barter. I can and will sell at
. least twenty per cent, cheaper, the
stock through, than I hare ever
' sold. lam in favor of every per
! son paying form« own goods, aid
hop ■ nofie 6f my obi customers
and friends will he olfeudcd when
I say to them that after the Ist es
December 1 will sell for cash or
Iwtcp only- I Vi? no respecter
of persons, will require cash from
evsry one, ami positively will net
open my books io-charge any item,
be it ever so small, to the best man
;in the county. If you have cash
or barter, call and examine my
stock and .priced befote purchas
ing elsewhere, and you will the*
' be fully satisfied with my new de
parture. 1 charge nothing for ex
hibiting goods, or giving prices,
and when you have examined the
one and heard- the other, you will
then be convinced it is to your ia-
1 t crest to prty as-you go.
All those who are indebted io
me, or to the firm of McAfee &
Moss, must come forward and mak*
immediate settlements. This is
my last call.
Very respectfully,
