FARM AND GARDEN.
Written for the Republican.
All About Mt Neighbor.
Mr. Editor: My ucighbor is a man
of more system than I am. In fact I
know of few men who arc so systematic
as my neighbor is. He is a farmer—a
S. W. Georgia farmer; and you know,
Mr. Editor, system is not a very great
forte of the average farmer of this
section. Hat my neighbor lives well,
has the best that the country afford.*,
keeps fat horses and mules, great big
fat porkers, sleek cattle, and his wife
and children are always in a splendid
good humor. My neighbor always pays
his debts, too, what few he makes, for to
toll the truth, Mr. Editor, my neighbor
rarely ever makes a debt, but whenever
ho buys anything he pays for it in good
,/reen cash, because he always has a sys-
teui in his business, and adheres strictly |
to his system. Now, Mr. Editor, I be-!
lieve a great many of your readers would i
be greatly benefitted by adopting some- ]
thing like my neighbor’s system, and as
he is a very modest man, and thinks
everybody knows as much about farming
us he does, and besides is not given to
writing, I have undertaken to give you
come dots, hoping thereby to do some
good; and as it would probably take too
long a communication to detail tie whole
of uiy neighbor’s system at once. I may
divide it into two or more numbers.
^ My neighbor's first maxim is to pro-
^ dace upon the farm all the food neces
sary for both man and blast, and only
co much cotton as may be raised in addi
tion to the necessary tood crops. My
neighbor’s second maxim is by a judic
ious system of rotation and manuring to
improve rather than wear out his land
The food crops on which my neighbor
relies are the ordinary crops of the co
try, viz : eorn, oats, rye, peas, potat<
ground peas, sugar cane and rice. These,
with cotton, make up all his crop out.
side bis garden, and he has arranged his
plans so that all these come into his sys
tem in their appropriate places and
quantities, and nono are left out, and
nothing is left to chance or Jiap-hazzard.
No part of his farm ever produces two
crops of the same kind two y
cesaiou, except rice, which is always
planted in wet places that will not pro
duce anything else, and sugarcane,which
is always allowed to occupy the same
ground two years—the second year be
ruttoon or stubble caue.
My neighbor’s system of rotation con
sists of two distinct parts, the larger and
the smaller rotation. The larger rota
tion consists of corn, oats and cotton,
with peas and ground peas as auxiliaries.
The smaller rotation consists of sugar
cane, rye and potatoes. Of the- latter
we will speak first.
My neighbor has laid off three
acre lots of his best land immediately
around the house, and these three consti
tute his smaller rotation.
The first of these was
last year. After cutting off the cane
last fall, he had the leaves and tops
fully raked up in rows upon the stubble,
and then with a large turning plov
ruu a furrow on each side of every
covering the leaves and stubble almost
completely up, to protect the roots from
freexing during the winter. Iu Febru
I bis compost—but th»t compost of hi., i,
■ worthy of a separate article, and shall
have it, Mr. Editor, if you think it worth
while to priot (his aod other letters of
mine on the subject. Let me conclude
this number, Mr. Editor, by a diagram
of my neighbor’a smaller rotation thus:
£ t M
It will thus be seen that my
s one acre of potatoes, one acre of
e, and two acres of sugar cane each
year. Should the wiuter prove so severe
to kill his cane root*, in spite of bis
care, and no nttooua appear, my neigh
bor plants the rattion patch in corn and
pumpkins, and is not much the loser.

Clean Farming.
We hesrtily endorse the following, by
a correspondent of Coleman’s Rural
World:
Nothing should be grown or suffered
to grow on a farm that cannot be
verted into money. Weeds and briars,
therefore, should not be permitted to
grow, for there is no money value
them; therefore, they are a nuisance,
crop of weeds, permitted to go to seed,
will exhaust the soil as much a* a crop of
grass or grain which have a money value.
amusing to hear men—farmers—
say they let their fields grow to weeds
order to rest their laud, and to be
ploughed under the next season for
manure. There can be no objection to
the ploughing under of green crops as
mauure, but the refuse of defunct weeds
will add but little to the fertility of the
soil. Why not grow grass instead of
weeds? With very little trouble land
can be seeded down to grass, and used
for pasture or hay; this can be converted
into milk, beef, wool, nintton. out of
which money can be made. The drop
pings of the stock and the sod fulll of
roots, may be ploughed under for an
other crop in rotation. Any system of
farming that will admit any part (say
one field) of the farm to remain unpro
ductive for one year, cannot be consid
ered good farming. Every a?re of tilla
ble land on a farm, if properly ui:
aged, will produce something that <
be converted into money. Hero
where the great secret of all good
farming lies. Talk about giving land
rest. With a system based on these
principles, it will grow stronger and bet
ter every year.
wide a needle, nothing but ice water will

given at his superb Moorish palace in
Paris. This fete, which was nothing

daring attempt on the part of the bril
liant novelist to bring together under the

demi-monde. The most successful female
ime present was composed of a huge
mantle of black and gold, which, clasped
oe shoulder, left the other entirely
bare, and produced the effect that if the
clasp should break the whole garment
would fall and leave the wearer entirely
nndraped. This white boulder was much
followed during the evening, and oi

striped with gold, attracted much atten
tion. AnotLer was entitled Eve in mourn
ing. Jt consisted of a close fitting cor
sage and tunic of stamped black velvet,
with train of black satin. Two scarfs
draped the corsage, and were crossed at
the side of the skirt, being fastened at
the bust and at the side with branches of
ladyapphs. Around the throat of the
wearer was a serpent, biting an apple.
A young and beautiful American girl ap
peared as Marguerite, iu “Faust,” and
caricatured by the Vice Parisieune in its
next issue, tfco picture representing her
with a Frenchman’s arm around her
waist. The French society papers were
extremely prodigal of ironical compli
ments towards the American ladies who
were present, speaking of their “pearly
complexions, transparent flesh and di
vinely moulded busts.” Among the gen
tlemen present, Alexandre Dumas and
tbo Count do Paris were the most frisky.
Rev. Loviek Pierce, D D., in speaking
of bis life pays the following noble and
just tribute to bis wife:
“I wu married when I was twenty-
years, six months, and four days old. We
rived together forty-one years and aeven
months—which longperiod only matured
and mellowed first love into richer affec
tion. She closed her noble life May U,
1850, whilo I was absent in attendance
upon our second general conference at
St. Louis, Mo. Having finished her do
mestic duties and read her morning les
son, she sat down to work, and only ex
claiming: “what a pain in my head,” ex
pired instantly. Daring her last years,
next to her children, her delight was in
an orphan asylum over Which she pre
sided ; and npon my first visit to her fresh
grave I found these orphan mourners
gathered around it, sed weeping for a
mother gone—a memorial, more precioas
far, than the jewels of a queen. She wai
one of many duplicates of Solomon’s in
spired conception of a true woman—con
cerning whom we might always think he
despaired of finding even one. The in
spiration however, was not to illustrate
tbeir scarcity, but to magnify their vir
tues. Those whom he calls virtuous, are
those in whom moral courage, adequate
to life’s demands, abonnds; such as meet
its emergencies with prompt executive,
firmness and skill.
I will be pardoned for thns introducing
my deceased wife into this letter. It is
due to her memory; and my apology is,
that much of the credit awarded me iu
those days when I was in labors more
abundant, was due to her. It is truth
fady said that there being a way of nc
avail, unless there be a wid) and it may
be as tinthfnlly said that where there is
will withont a way nothing can be effect
ually done. But in my laborious minis
try, everything conspired to its accom
plishment. I had the will, and she made
the way. If half sick, and open to per
suasion to lie np, she was up early, get
ting everything ready, and with a thou
sand winning wsys. persuaded me off—
always adding: “I can bear anything
better tban for yon to disappoiut a con
gregation.” But I will not say here what
I always felt in my heart. I am recalling
those precioas memories because I waut
a reason for saying to my friends, that
tbe wives of itinerant Methodist preach
ers are models of womauly glory, when
husband and wife are cast in the same
grand mould of self-sacrifice for Christ,
It is characteristic of a true woman that
when she accepts the sphere of an itiner
ant minister's wife, she intends to fill it;
aod there now in this connection many
of the finest illustrations of womanly
greatness and true moral courage that
are famished by the sex. I will there
fore only say this much more: A woman
who would marry au itinerant Methodist
preacher without intending to add
usefulness is—well, simply a human

turning plows, with the wing turned to
the middle, he “barred off” the old
cane rows, leaving the old etubblc stand
ing on a very narrow ridge. Leaving it
in this condition for a week or two, he
then put in the side furrows about five
huudred pounds of his compost manure,
to be described hereafter, and using the
turning plow threw the dirt back to the
stubble, and left it until the time for cul
tivation, which consists of three good
plowing* with shovels and sweeps, just
as he cultivates his corn. Wc will fol
low this patch up, because its history is
the history of the others also in their
turn. According to my neighbor’s plan
the cane on this patch being rattoons
will be all dug up next fall and bedded
banked for* seed, though at grinding
time he will take part of it out of the
beds and grind it for syrup, leaving
only enough for seed to plant one acre
next spring.
After the cane is dag he will plow and
prepare the patch for rye, which he sows
in the latter part of October or early
November. My neighbor confesses that
if he were raising rye without reference
to any system of rotation he would pre<
for to sow it earlier, 1 ‘but he cannot work
it in anywhere so successfully as at this
point. The ryo is used for feeding green
to horses, mules and milk cows in the
spring, and as it can be cut in the latter
part of March and April, a part of the
patch is ready to be prepared for the
earliest setting of potatoes, and it will
all be ready—even that left to mature for
seed—daring tho season for setting out
potatoes; for my neighbor prefers to
hsvc his potatoes planted in succession,
some early, some medium aod some late,
to take all the chances of favorable sea
sons.
After tbe potatoes are dug in tbe fall
this lot will be used as a cow pen through
tbe winter, say from the 20th or 25th of
October to the 20th or 25th of Feb
ruary, by whieh means its fertility will be
considerably increased. It ia then plant-
ed again in sugar cane, and goes through
tho same rotation again. The other two
lots are treated in exactly tbe same man
ner, fix: lit year, plan ted eorn; 2d year,
rattoon eane; followed by rye, which
comes off in time for the crop of the third
year, vix: potatoes, and after tho pota
toes a cow penning of three or four
months to restore wasted fertility. But
my neighbor also man ores each of these
crops with about five hundred pounds of

they were palled aronnd their legs tight

did not understand me, so I told him I
had heard some time ago of a great stir
being made about the model artists,
and I thought maybe these were mem
bers of that troupe in their street cos
tumes. He explained that these were the
most fashionable and elegant belles of
the city. I then enquired whether they
were all orphans, with no one to teach
them modesty. He replied that he had

NINETY-ONE YEARS OLD.
MARCH 25, 1785—MARCH 25, 1875
The venerable Rev. Loviek Pierce,
D.D,, in a communication to the South-
Christian Advocate, dated March 26,
says:
My ninety-first birthday was celebrated
at Sunshine, by a family reunion of forty
loving hearts—twenty-one great-grand
children. Of course, it was a lively time,
but sweetly so; there was nothing but
gushing, joyous life. Of our sumptuous
dinner, for obvious reasons, I will not
speak. But of two elegantly embossed
cakes, with appropriate memorial inscrip
tions in raised letters of icing—one from
Sparta, Ga., and the other from Loms-
ville, Ky.—I mast say, and so said our
lady gnests. they would have been among
the most conspicuous at a royal feast. At

preacher. »•»«»• r>.. » , *<1 luu ,u diatiu
• , -u.. ho ail remembered
L ... u-.is with grateful thanks.
To see about eighteen great-grand
children from twelve years of age down
to three, seated with whetted appetites at
the second table of such a dinner, is 1
sight which I hope God will repeat to mj
children and my children's children.
Never was any occasion of the kind m*»«
richly enjoyed. Its most memorable fea
ture was tbe baptism by myself of one
grand-child and one great-grand child.
And now, beloved friends, I want yon
that are praying for my years to bo msDy
more, not to ask for life for me, beyond
ability to do some good. I am trying to
leave the question of living or dying en
tirely with my heavenly Father; and yet
I would have all my brethren join me iu
the prayer that, if according to the will
of God, my ninetyasecond birth-day may
be spent in heaven.

ttsy The word “hell,” a translation of
the Greek word Gehenna, is a term nsed
designate the valley of Hinnom. This
yullpy hounds Jerusalem on tbe north,
aud lies below Mount i*ion—a scene of
sacred and imperishable associations. In
this valley Mulocn, tho national god of
the Amorites, was worshipped with the
horrid and inhuman rite of sacrificing
children iu tbe fire. When Jnsiah in Ins
conquest, overthrew this idolatry, he
poured contempt upon the infernal prac
tice by casting into the valley the bones
of the departed. In the estimation of
the old Hebrews the bones of the dead
canned tbe greatest of all pollutions.
Whatever person, place or things they
touched were forthwith considered “un-
j.” Hence this Valley of Hinnon,
this Gehenna, this “hell,” having been
tho receptacle of the human remains
which J«isiah threw into it, waa cousid
a place the most polluted and nC'
cursed. From this circumstance
came a common receptacle for ail the
refuse of the city of Jerusalem. Here
large quantities of decomposing vegetable
and animal matter were constantly
thrown. This putrescent matter gen
erated an abundance of worms; the
worm here never died. To prevent th«
noxious effluvia springing from this mass
of corrnp ion poisoning the atmosphere
and breathing disease and death into tbe
heart of the city, fires were kept bnro-
iug day aud night. This valley, there
fore, was literally a place where “ihe
worm never died, and where the fire waa
never qnenclied.”—Rev. Phelps.

patriotic dispatch to a meeting recently

MONEY OR LAND——A SPECK OP WAR.
New York. April 3 —Tbe Trihune\
Washington special says: Information
was imparted at the War Department
yesterday, through high official circles,
that the President would declare, as tbe
policy of tbe Government, in disposing
of the Mexican raids and loss of Ameri
can lives and property, reparation from
the Mexican Government in the shape of
a moneyed indemnity for the depreda
tions committed by the subjects of that
Government on che Texas border.
Onr Government will insist npon this
reparation, and in order to enforce the
conclusion, it is admitted that the Secre
tary of War will, if no other recourse be
left, carry out this det-rmination by
strengthening the. American border line
by attaobing thereto soother stretch of
Mexican territory.
It is inti mated that General McKenzie
is to be transferred from Fort Sill and to
take charge of the troops on the Texas
border.
The Mexican Government will shortly
be presented with a firm demand on the
part of onr Government for doe repara
tion, or to take the only alternative of
war along the border with the purpose of
enforcing onr demands.

titled. He has scandalized and disgraced
tbe United States at the Conrt of the
Empire at Austria. All of Graut’s For
eign Ministers aeem to possess that facul
ty to the greatest extent. Iu this con
nection we publish the following from a
letter to the New York Nation from
London:
“Every honest American in Eoglaod
runs the risk, every time tint he dines
with a party of Englishmen, of beiDg
made to blush by au allusion to the Em
ma Mine or Gen. Schenck, aud he must
blush in silence, for there is not one word
that can be said in mitigatiou of the dis
grace; when ever he takes up a morning
paper, he may see that some beggard vie
tim of Grant and Schenck has instituted
a criminal action agaiust tbe American
Minister for complicity in a swindle,
which, bnt for his name, might never
had been a successful one ; that he can
not go to his Minister’s receptions with
self-respect, or, if he went, meet there an
Eaglishm in who has any.”
The Ice Gorges
William-pout. Pa., April 1.—Tho ice
above this place baa broken up and is
now passing down quietly on 11 feet
flood. A considerable quantity of logs,
estimated at 100,000 feet per hoar, have
been going down since 6 o’clock this
morning. They are supposed to have
come out of Pine creek. All the antici
pated danger at this place is now over.
The gorge which formed last evening
three miies below Lewisbnrg still
remains. Some parts of the town are un
der water. Families living in the low
parts of the town have moved oot, bnt if
the gorge does not break by the time the
Glen Union Gorge, which passed Lock
haven early this morning, reaches there,
it is feared great destruction will ensue.
Tbe longer the gorge remains there the
more excited the people become, and the
more danger of devastation. Reports
from Lock haven say the Glen Union
gorge passed there nicely at 5 o’clock
this morning, and no danger is now anti
cipated.

An insUnoe of wantonly brutal treatment
of a child is under judicial investigation

old seems to have been used by her step

proof is, tbkt he palled oat her hsir,
blistered tbe bottoms of her feet by
slapping them with a board, spat tobaooo
juice in her eyes, and made her dance
nntil she fell down exhausted. These
and like inhumanities were continued
nntil his arrest a short time ago.
