Olio Horst' Farm.
The true path that leads to pri
v do and pub'ic welfare, and that will
load us out of the slouch of depen
dency into the delectable lend of in
dependence, is illustrated in the fol
lowing description of a “one horse”
farm and its operations last season as
furnished us by a fanner of S. C.
who is the Itapoy owner of one of
these model farms. All the plowing
was done by his buggy horse, the
iinto so used averaging two days in a
week. 'The results are as follows;
Tibi teen acres were p’anted, six
i:i corn and peas an 1 seven in cotton.
All the work was done with day la
bor at fifty cents a day without meals,
(Xteptfor plowing part of the time.
The cost of preparing and cultiva
tng the corn and peas was $13.75.
The cotton seed and commercial ma
nures cost SIOO 50, and tho cost uf
gathering was sl3; a total expense
of $127.35. Tho land produced 259
bushels of corn, 3000 pounds of fod
der and 30 bushels ol peas, valued at
s3io. The net profits Were $182.95
The expense of making the cotton
and preparing it for market, includ
ing the sll3 for manures, was $2Ol
-and the proceeds of tho seven
bales produced amounted to $375.85
The net prollits on tho cotton were
$174,10, which added to the profits
of the other crops, gives a total net
profit of $357.15. 'The cotton cost
seven cents per pound to produce it
and six bales sold for twelve cents,
and one bale seven and a half cents j
net per pound.
This is the true road out of the [
wilderness of ruin in which the late
war involved the Southern Suites.
I. O'.'S it Pny >o Raise Big Hogs?
In order to got, hogs to weigh
r.bove 300 lbs., it is generally neces
sary to keep them until near two
years old, and have to feed them two
winters, while an animal not so
much over one year old, can bo
brought np to 2*6 lbs, or over, and
will Lave to bo wintered only one
winter, which is a considerable itam,
the winter feeding of swine being
more expensive than their summer
pasturing.
We question if one hundred pounds
of fork additional, will pay for keep
ing an animal reqniring as much food
as the hog requires for one year.
We know that heavy pork does
not sell as well as in our markets
as hogs weighing two hundred or
loss; and the lighter animals some
times command atloast one dollar
more per hundred weight. Heavy
pork is generally harder to cure,
their being more difficulty in getting
the salt to penetrate to the center of
piecs, than in hogs of smallei size.
There is more waste, too, in the larg
er animals, in the way of trimmings.
l’i inciples of Good Farming.
The following are some of the prin
ciples of good farming, reduced down
to a few brief maxims, compressing
inlo a short sentence the gist of
many pages.
1. The larmerwho would succeed
well, and derive pleasure as well as
profit from his calling, must manifest
nn active and abiding interest in his
vocation. It takes heart work to
make hand work pleasant.
2. The farmer must study how to
best increase and ma'ntain fertility
to his soil. There is no inertia in
agiijultnre. There must bo progress
or a retrograde.
;s. The farmer must increase the
quality as well ns the quantity of his
crop. Inis ti e quality that determ
ines the price.
4. The farmer must seek to im
prove his market facilities. It is the
transportation that rats up profits.
5, Keep no more animals than
yon Lave the facilities to feed and
cam for well. Get the best breeds.
G. The fanner must seek to im
ptove his social, intellectual and
financial condition.

SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY for 1876.
The publishers invite attention to the fol
lowing list of some of the attractive articles
secured for Scribner's Monthly lor the com
ing year, in the field of fiction, be. ides nu
m< rous novelettes and shorter stories, there
wiii be two remarkable serial stone* by Am
tri an authors. The first of these, nowcom
i’! ain our hands, Gabriel C nroy, by Bret
i \ beginr i■ 1 lie * v* .1 mnnbe?, ai .
ill run t\v< K r e >nt '• lea is Mr Unite's
lint exti nded w !- . ones anti charac
ters, which the s chosen from his
favorite field, Cui are painted with
characteristic vividi i„nd power, and the
work is doubtless the most graphic record 01
early California life that has yet appeared.
We shall ids begin, in the January mini
bar, Philip man’s Friends, or Show Your
Passports, by Edward Everett Hale. 'I he
scene of this story is laid in the Southwestern
territory, now forming the States of Louisi
ana and Texas, at the time of Aaron Burr’s
treason. The characters lived in a section
which was now American, now French, and
now Spanish, and this record of their adven
turous lives makes a story of intense and un
flagging interest throughout.
A second Farmer’s Vacation, by Col Geo
E Waring, Jr. Col Waiing is now in Eu
rope, visiting, in a row-boat vide of 250 miles,
one of the most feiti e and interesting of the
vine-growing of Europe. Tbis sec
ond series of papers promises to be even more
intemdiog than that with which our readers
are already familiar.
Centennial Letters, edited by John Vance
Cheney. A rare collection of Revolutionary
letters, mainly from stores in the hands of
tho descendants of Col Joseph Ward. They
are full of interest, and will he read with a
rare relish in connection with the Centennial
celebration of the year.
Brilliantly illustrated articles on American
colleges, written respectively by their friends,-
will appear during the year. The revived
interest in college life makes these papers es
pecially timely, and will secure for them un
usual attention
Elegantly illustrated articles on Old New
York, by John F Mines, will appear at once,
and will attract the attention of all, in city
or country, who mark with interest the de
velopment of the great metropolis, and affec
tionately remember the quaint peculiarities
o its olden time.
Every number is profusely illustrated, thus
enabling us to give to our descriptive arid
-nairative articles an interest and permanent
value never attain 1 in a non-illustrated pe
riodicnl. Under ii accustomed management
the magazine will the future be devoted,
as it lies been in the past, t* • sound literature
and Christian progress.
