Editorial Warning.
About this season of the year the new*-
papers art filled W.Ui advite to farmers.
This ia very proper. The editors feel a
pßrsdnrtl interest in tile Success ot the far
mer, as they know where thelf hutterel
bread conies irjtu. Then who cotild rCsht
tbe temptation to advise, when afforded
■nch an opportunity ns the editor enjoys,
addressing weekly ns h" does, hundreds ot
the horny handed gentry.
To reject itidircrimiriittely all of this
newspaper Acividd) ltcause It is newspdper
advice, WoUld be as loolish as to accept it
•II: The wise man takes all, and acts on
what he deems best.
If you tried nil cottori 1 ist year, and an
accurate inventory of all your possessions
kHoW* that yoiir Work has bdtri more prof
itable than the season previous, wheti you
diversified your crons, and the inordasti is
enough to warrant the Vxtr* risk which is
incuircd by having everything stnked on
nite catd, then It will lie bfiat for you and
best for the cduutryi that rod shodlh plant
truly “fitted: Vh at ever system I rest pro
motes individual interests, be-it promotes
cbmmunity inteicniS.
bon’t list! toiprUe cial fertilizers because
your heighttor finds them prdfitvblrt. The
question is do you find it profitable to use
ahem. If not. don’t buy any ju*t trf lre
in the fitahidn. and if you ennnot get tin
kind your soil needs, do not take anything
you can get. Buy lly the atUlyHis, ra'her
than tbe smed. This last is sometimes
rot in —like aaifuiditi iu a bail j'ollrd—to
tatch the Vmwaiy.
Newspaper c litors would plant Urarely
olfWl'n—lo ffccd his obloifhd hfci{jhbors hog*
about roasting-ear timfi ami strengthen
to i stuck la*. But lltfl
thoughtful farmer will Wise cniy ns much
in* he can at a cost, of less thdtt tbe western
art We-. He will btt.y whAt he can get in
Ih'A hs-atket cheaper than he cu glow at
feoiAe-.
Tn fact, Sertsibl* farmer will take
th'6 editor’* udvicc kindly, tend his farm
dlli?etitly, and *Joi. as the editor would, the
(the very best be can.

, Farming.
The foliowitid from the Miriatta Jour
hill is ffill oi trUib and practical good
ssuse- Every farmer has felt truth sa
told, in biS own experience, and mant df
them "have felt it moset bitterly—but,
without a ohaDge of oropping polioy, they
•ill feel It more keenly id the oomiug
year: ,
‘,l’hd targe demand fof Afisno and snp
pllee dn time fqrtiahes a question for se
rious and Calculating reflection for every
man who regards his own success And
tbs prosperity of hia oountry. In Satur
day’s Constitution under thfl Mad of
“State Honse aieanibg*, 1 ’ I notice iff*
asjonut motived np to Maroh Ist from
inspeotion of fertilizers (ia $54,400
againat $41,000 last Jieaff, ThW ouly
laoks abont $8,t)0o of bhang s tottdh as
was received daring the whole of lest
year. One bendred thousand more tags
are Uhkhd fdf in Savannah and 50,000 iu
Atlanta, and the prospeot is fnlly SIO,OOO
Will be received tbifl year frofil tbe in
apedtioh df fertilizers. As the fees of
inspfeCtioh Art no higher than last year,
these flguros show a very large increaae
in the qnantity of fertilizers being used,
llrat# la fifi HdihflartStfß between ibis and
last Ab for tbe domaud for corn and meAt.
Th merchants can aoarcely Bhppiy the
detfiAnd. This id some extent is attrib
uted to the general failure of the wheat
and corn crop last year. But the saddest
part of the pidthre is, All the fertilizers,
abd l may say throe-fourtha of the sup
plies, are bOfigbt.on time, and at
prices that Bo farmer oan long hope to
survive. The experieriuce of 1873 is still
fresh in the minds of many. Will the
people not take warning?
Is it hot time that the Southern plan
ters and far nets abandon the qetniCious
Credit system? It is tb4 great drawback
ho their prosperity. However hard they
labor, favorable the Reason, and good
their crops, they find themselves, as a
rule, in debt at the end of the year. Why
ia this? Failure to raise supplies at
home, utilize barnyard mature, and in
cotstqnenoe Vhe enormous per cent, they
bave to pay for them hh time. A* the
system is practiced, tb# planter or farmer
gives the merebant a lien on his crop to
l;e grown, and mortgage on hia stock and
land; and the merchant, bvibE'O’enrrcd,
furnish* 1 Ike MoCesHary srtppliea, and at
I fi/arvs ranging from 25 fo I*lo per cent,
nbove cash prices, lur papers are sign
ed, and tbe farmer becomes tbe mer
chen’s serv'Dt, hit mcr’gsgc w recorded,
and bis credit destroyed, so fur im ol>-
tainieg aqytbiqg cine .these coneerei It,
and bis merchant charges him jnst what
he likei for (he supplies he furnishes. I
urge no complaint against the merchants
who furnish tbe snpplies; for, as a rale,
considering tbe advantage They have aud
the risks they take, they dwiii ahortt as
lenient with the farmer as the geiiiraiity
of -masters with their siaows.
In addition to the embarraßinent en.
cumbered properly, tbefarm/r promises
a goer-cent, ha oauuot reasonably hope to
pay. No man can bear 25 per cent. Sec.
ator Brown in his recent speeoh on the
funding bill said “I think I may venture
to say that a irge;pro.patien of the far
mers of the United Siates do not make
olear more than 3 per cent, upon the cap
ital invested.” I once heard a success
ful fiaancit r'ssy fhrft no man in the or
dinary and legitimate peisuits could loDg
ciford to pay 7 per cent, on money.
What hope then can the farmer have that
promises 25 and 100 per cent.
“Now to the remedy. Last year was
an exceptionally nnfavorable one for
wheat and corn. We may not have snch
another in years. Don’t Ist -tha short
grain roprf last year disoourage the
the planting of plenty Jhis year. Give
the same attention to the preparation,
mutaring, planting and cultivation *-of
corn that is given t cotton. Plant
tbe best land in corn and cultivate it wdll.
This is the season far planting. If yon
thick twenty aenes willmake oore-enough,
plant thirty far a certainty.—Marietta
Journal.
Biij. Au*> sq's “it looks like the farmers
were getting rich, but they ain’t. It costs
some farmers ten cents per pound to make
cotton. It costs the majority of ’em about
eight, and then there is the wear and tear
of mules and wagonh eod harness said

pleadad, among other ihii-gs, thet there
bad been accord and satisfacion in the

partnership with Cox, the lattsr assumed
all Indebtedness, and Mitche.ll did not dis
sent from tbe name, npon notice to him,
hut really ksWen ted MjH uoido A contract
for convicts out of Cox's quota in pay
ment of this debt. Mitchell replied that
toe contract as sub-leass by Wn> Iron!
Cox wan illegal; that when be had taken
the coriviots to his pD.oe, they were taken
away from him by the princ pul keeper,
on tbs order of the Governor, because it
was contrary to Uw to work convicts in
that fashion; hence such a contract could
not be a payment. I bare were other in
cidental (glints made, but the ooor charg
ing that the contract wr.s illegal as claim
ad, the jury returned a Vetdlht Iti favor of
tbft plaintiff, Mitchell, for Cl,7(X> princi
