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. THEHAMILTONJOURNAL ruHUSHED EVERY WE ON ESI) A YAT HAMILTON, HARRIS CO., GA.
