THE OLD FARM GATE.
Tho old form gate haug* sagging down,
On runty hinges, bent and brawn;
lU Utah to gone, and hero and thoro
It shorn rude traces of repair.
That old farm gate has soon, each year,
The blossoms bloom and disappear;
The bright green leaves of spring unfold,
An 1 turn to autumn's red and gold.
The children have upon It clung,
And in and out with rapture swung.
When their young hearts were good and pure,
When hope was fair and faith was sure.
Beside that gate hare lovers true
Told tbs old story—always new;
Have made their vows, have dreamed of bites,
And sealed each promise with a hiss.
The old form gate has opened wide
To welcome horns the new-made bride,
When lilies bloomed, and lilacs fair,
With their sweet fragrance filled tho air.
That gate, with rusty weight and chain,
Has closed upon the solemn train
That bore her lifeless form away.
Upon a dreary autumn day.
The lichens gray and mosses green.
Upon decaying posts are seen;
Initials, carved with youthftal skill,
Long years ago, are on it still.
But, dear to me, above all things,
By reason of the thoughts it brings,

On rusty hinges, bent and brown.

Product of 15 acres in 10 years $11,099 50
The above is from actual sales and the
true market values. I have omitted thi
value of the fodder, potatoes, hay, peas
pumpkins, cashaws, and oat-straw, which 1
used. Let no farmer expect to enrich In
land in one, three or five years. As well
expect an infant to attain its growth by a
few months’ extra feeding. It requires
many years labor, perseverance and con
stant manuring.
Ground peas should como next as food,
and then sweet potatoes. This is the safest,
easiest, surest and cheapest method to raise
hogs, a id at the same time keeps them in
closed, handy tc the call, and less likely to
be stoleu. To succeed at hog raising great
care and labor must be given to it. No
oarrassed cOuditioi ot the country? Planters
must raise everything they eat, and enough
to supply the non-producers. To do this,
they must increase the grain crops—plant
heavily of corn, oats, rye, wheat, ground-
peas, chufas, sweet potatoes and sugar
cane, and liwgely increase their stock of
nogs. If this is done, cotton will have a
small showing.
The ruinous policy of our merchants in
volving themselves every year to supply
'muter* wun provisions to make large cotton
rope will surely end in bankruptcy. The
(lostponement of it lor a short time will not
titer the situation. It is a stern necessity;
md if u majority of the planters atid mer-
bants are bankrupted by it it will prove
he best for the country iu the end, and be
lie means of saving a very large i umber
vho will be drawn into this maelstrom of
•uin. Ii this pian is adopted promptly,
two years planters will be sellers ot provis-
ons a9 well as cotton. And then they will
mve a sure and double income from which
pay their creditors.
The white man has always had to thiuk
and direct for the negro, and it canuot be
expected that the few years of freedom and
schooling of the negro has qualified him to
hink and act for the benefit of his race with
out the advice of their former masters. And
• et, with their kuown ignorance, we plant
on shares with them, rent them our farms,
and turn over to them the stock and tools to
ie mauaged by their dictation and judgment.
The consequence is failure in crops, deatl
ii» ihe mules, destruction of the plantation
ools, ruin to the fencing and farm and bank
ruptcy to the owner. The land is plowet
nto ditches and gullies, and turned out
.row up in broom sedge and saplings.
Everything is iu a state ot dilapidation
tud ruin, and «ve continue to involve our-
cJves by buying mules, provisions and tools
to supply these improvident, ignorant
gere. This cropping and reining systen
must be abandoned, and we must take tlx
management of - our own plantations back
tuto our own hands, and must come down
o hard work and rigid economy. The ne-
>ro must know that he has to work out his
nvn salvation and look to his own efforts for
food and raiment, and the quicker he is
thrown upon his ewu resources to supply his
wants the better it will be for him aud the
whites. We have as much as we can do to
keep up the farms, stock, and tools, and
supply our own families and educate our
children, without the extra burden of taking
care of the negro. He must learn to think
act and supply himself.
At the same time, we must advise him and
rive him employment and fair wages. We
are dependent one upon the other. He has
,he labor aud muscle, aud we, the laud and
•apital; and we must help each other ; and
in such a manner ns to have impartial
justice to each, so that lair compensation
will be had in labor and pay. We occupy
the same land, and must live together, and
should, therefore, strive to live in peace and
harmony and labor for each other’s good—
-ocially, morally politically, and temporally.
This is emphatically the white man'
country, and it will not be surrendered
the negro. Ignorance will submit to intelb
.fence. We must change our habits to cun
form to the times. We must labor our
selves. Not one cent ought to be exp uded
lor any labor that can be performed * y our
selves, our sons, our daughters or wives.
Our sous must put their bands to the plow
and our wives and daughters must come t<
our help. These are the leakages that sink
our prosperity. It may seem a hardship be
cause we were not raised to it; but it will
eventually come to it, and it is best to begin
now, and cheerfully. It is far more honor-
business will thrive without this. The own- j able to toil now, and thereby save tiie old
er ought to call the hogs himself daily, and j family homestead, than to let the sheriff sell
count them, and know every hog, and when j it at public outcry
one is missing hunt it up without delay. I

CLOTH FOR WOOL.
The Athens Manufacturing Company are now making &
much larger variety of Woolen Gooa.* than ever before,
and propose to
Exchange them for Wool,
ASTONISHING.
This calling anil care is generally entrusted
to negroes, and here lays the causo of failure
to raise hogs. Many sa- they can’t raise
them. It con he done by every farmer with
proper attention. The cause of failure is
inattention and laziness. Enough hogs to
supply any ordinary family can be raised
around the house from slops, refuse Vegeta- | h-lievio« it to be more to the interest of the Planter to
hies, butter milk, etc. There can be no ex- Exchange the Wool lor Cloth, rather than have it Card
ens* for failure. j “ nJ s P un « ho!,lc - „ c '“" It™,' ol

horses and cows. The old heathen plan of I —
feeding in a large trough in the middle of j
the lot, without shelter, leaving the stock ex- j
posed to the rain and cold, is not only cruel I
treatment, hut a positive loss of stock and a !
large amount of manure. Every farmer j.
ought to provide shelter for his horses aud |
cows, and provide a stall for each animal, j
One spadeful of manure saved under shelter j
is worth more than ten times the quantity j
that has lain out exposed to the rain and ;
sun. Besides, the animals will keep in bet- !
ter condition, and on less foot!, when shel
tered. The old doctrine that God matle
them with hair on the outside for protect o i,
and that it is a sin to house them or fight
against this law of nature, is fast playing
out, and the farmer who provides the best
food aud shelter always has the fattest, beat
animals and the most and best manure.
We must not only raise stock aud manure,
but we must raise grain and provisions, aa a
surplus to supply the wants of the towns and
cities, anil the trades and craftsmen who
labor in the foundries, machine shops, ship
yards and factories. This class comprise
nearly or quite o c-half the population of the
world, ana are dependent upon the planter
for food. Now, whenthe planter ceases to
raise food and depends upon some one else to
supply him, then the laws that govern supply
and demand ire violated by the planter, and
he is at the mercy of him that raises the su|>-
plies of life. Hence the speculator is enabled
to force up the prices of provisions as high as
his conscience will allow, and to the ruin of
the planter. The ruling prices of bacon and
corn, the past year, are enough to convince
any sane man, who follows the plow, that it
is ruinous and suicidal to raise cotton to the
exclusion of [t bountiful supply of pro
visions. - A '
But, says the planter, I am in debt, and
if I don’t raise the cotton to pay my mer
chant he will be disappointed and sue me
and rain me. If yon are in that condition
yon are rained already, and simply delaying
tho sole of the sheriff, or anticipating sheli.ei
-from the homestead-net. Very recently , 1
have had larmiers to say to; me, “If you
don’t give me fifteen cents for my cotton
in payment of the bacon you sold me, I
won’t pay you; and if you sue me, I will
take the homesttQd.” And these man are
s Grangers! This is a sad commentary on
fanning, and is a valuable lesson to hont-si
grangers and to mere ants. They failed to
raise provisions for their own use, begged
the merchant to supply them on credit,
and then refused to pay them; and to drive
a bargain, threaten the merchant with the
homestead act! You had better raise your
own hog and hominy, and thus avoid all
this unpleasantness.
