fThe Forty-Acrw Farm.
I’m thinking, wife, of neighbor Jones, that
*■ Saab With stalwart ana—
He lives in peace and plenty on a forty
acre farm;
White men are ail around at, with hands
and hearts a sot*.
Who own two hundred scsss, and still ars
wanting more*
*M. pretty Utile fanny s pretty little
- house | , A «... *
He Hm a loving wife within, as quiet It a
mouse;
His children play around the doof—their
father’s life to charm—
Looking as neat and tidy as the tidy little
farm.
No weeds are in the corn-fields, no thistles
in the oats, •
The horses show good keeping by their fine
atnf glossy coats;
The cows within the meadow, resting ’neath
the beachen shade,
Learn all their manners of the gentle milk
ing maid.
Within the field on Saturday—he leaves
no cradled grain
To be gathered on the morrow for fear of
coming raiu;
He keeps the Sabbath holy—his children
learn his ways—
And plenty fills )ii» barn and bin after the
harvest days.
He never has a lawsuit to take him to the
town,
For the Very simple reason there are no
fences down;
The bar-room in the tillage does not have
for him acharm;
i can always find my neighbor on his forty*
acre farm.
His acres are so very few, he plows them
very deep; 1 >
Tis his own hands that turn the sod—’tis
his own hands that reap;
He has a place for everything. flStd things
are in their place ;
The sunshine smiles upon his field, con
tentment in hi« face.
May we not learn a lemon wife,-from pru
dent neighbor Jones,
And not—for what we haven’t got—give
vent to fcighs and moans?
The rich ain't always happy, nor frie from
life’s alarms;
Blest are they who live Coil lent, though
small may be their farms.

l FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Agriculture in the South.
SYSTEMATIC ROTATION OP CROPS —COM-
MERCIAL MANURES —FLORIDA IN A
eut saMbL~DmKr.4»Et) vaias
Os LANDS.
From the monthly report of the
condition of American Agriculture
for March, published by the Depart
ment at Washington, we dall the fol
lowing information with reference
to the status of Georgia.
ROTATION 07 CROPS,
tii South Carolina, Georgia, Ar-
kansas, and in all the Gull States;
systematic rotation is tety little
thought of. Oar correspondent in
Colombia county, Georgia, thus re
flects a leading phrase of popular
opinion in the Sooth :
Although the benefits following
rotation are acknowledged by the
majority of farmers in this section,
yet it is practiced by comparatively
few. Many think the extensive Use
of "commercial fertiliser*” does
away with the necessity for this an
nual change of crops, and the fertili
ser used is selected with direct ref
erence to the crop to be produced,
and the crop is thus fed and grows
by this outside help, thus preventing
too great a drain upon the soil itself.
This creates an idea in the minds
of those who practice this system
that the outlay of money is a salve
to the soils, and to this extent not
only preserves but increases its fer
tility ; others maintain that this ex
tensive and general use of stimular
ting manuies, while they may and
do increase the production, do it at
the expense and the ultimate dete
rioration of the soil, in other words
they “ kill the land,” and the old,
worn-out lands of Virginia are cited
in vindication of this theory.
Cotton, corn, small grain, sugar
cane, sweet potatoes, and a few other
crops are grown 'according to the
prospective local or genfltal demand,
and often in exhausting succeesion
upon the same land. Soil prepara
tion and fertilisation are often en
tirely ignored, and when practiced
at all are very imperfectly attended
to except in the case of cottofi.—
Many Ootitities report repetition of
tliis crop through twenty or twenty
five years, while in one—Wilcox,
Alabama—lands have been kept fifty
ye art without intermission. Occa
sionally this crop is alternated with
corn, smalt grain, or grass. In some
districts the soil appears to bear this
strain with but little indication. In
other cases, however, the normal re
sults of system are pain
fully apparent* In Louisiana new--
comers occasionally attempt to in
troduce improvements, but are una
ble to resist the influence of univer*
sal example, and ultimately fall into
the old routine*
Recuperative planting*
Experiments in clovering have
been quite unsuccessful lately on
account of the extreme drought.—
Commercial fertilizers have gieatly
disappointed expectations, but lime
has produced very favorable results.
In North Carolina some isolated
efforte are made by Intelligent men
to improve their lands, but generally
the idea itself is entertained by few.
As an excuse for inaction, it is al
leged in some quarters that crops
are seldom housed till after Christ
mas, and that the weather after that
period is too cold for out-door labor.
This from the latitude of N ft i Car
olina will sound oddly to No them
and Western farmers, who find time
for extensive and important farm
labors during each winter. In (South
Carolina the phosphates, of which
large deposits have been found in
that State, are extensively applied,
but not always with intelligent ref
erence to their specific effects. These
applications are mostly made for
immediate results and not for per
manent improvement, which appears
to be but little regarded. Georgia
makes an extensive use of commer
cial fertilisers npdfi cotton. Gwin
nett CoUtlty ctJnSttiried about 2)000
tbiis during 1872. In Franklin coun
ty they have been applied at rates
varying from 300 to 1,000 pounds
per aere. Iu a few counties, such
as Gordon, clever is raised in in
creasing quantities, and in some
cases has been plowed under in full
growth. Os the lands within ten
.miles of railroads in this county about
25 per cent, are in clover. The diffi
culties of rec iperative faming are
thus stated by a correspondent in
Talbot county.
Nothing is regarded by formers so
profitable as cotton. Tbe lands gen
erally produce such small crops of
corn that it will not pay the expense
of the laborers we are obliged to
employ, owing to the fact of their
having but little regard for loss of
time, even when they are interested
in the crop ; moreover, an acre of
land that will produce 8 bushels of
corn will produce 125 pounds of lint
cotton, which, of course, is much
more profitable.
The following, from Gadsden coun
ty, Florida, presents the case in that
State in a nutshell :
The efforts in this county are fart
and feeble. A few are impressed
with the importance of the subject,
and are making some efforts in the
proper direction, but the great ma
jority of planters have ignored it en
tirely. Under the present system
the land is either rented to the la
borer annually for a specified sum
per acre, or he receives as compen
sation for his services a share of the
crop produced ; in either case bis
interest ceases with the housing of
the crop,
VALUE or LANDS IN GEORGIA,
Hart—Good farms since 1865 have
in many instances, doubled their
value. Poor lands, thousands of
acres of which are turned out, have
not increased in value since that time.
Marion —In 1860 farm lands were
worth from $lO to S2O per acre, at
present from $7 to sls.
Forsyth—Worth 60 per aent. more
than in 1660, and 25 per cent, more
than four years ago, and still are
low, ranging from $2 to S2O per acre.
Brooks—Lands that sdd freely in
1860 at S2O per acre, are Upon the
market now in large quantities, at
low prices, say $3 to $5 per acre.
Wilkes — Certainly decreasing In
real value, and, under the present
system, their becoming entirely Worn
out aud worthless is only a question
of time. From tightness in money
matters, mostly, land generally, will
not command as good prices as two
or three years ago ; but within a few
miles of town or railroad communi
cations ; they are much higher than
in 1860.
Franklin—Farm lands worth $lO
per acre ; wild lauds $1 to s3*
Douglas—lncreasing ; 20 per cent,
higher than iB6O ; but timber lands
20 per cent, cheaper.
Effingham—Not improving in
value worth from $1 to $3 per acre.
Cobb—lncreasing ; average value
equal to that in 1860, or $lO per
acre. In some cases land that sold
in 1868 and 1888 at $5 per acre
would now sell for s2o*
Bartow lncreasing ; notwith
standing the ravages of the war and
consequent impoverishing of our
people, their lands are all 10 per ct.
higher than in iB6O, and very much
higher than in 1866.
Gwinnett—lncreasing rapidly ; one
third higher.
Carroll—lncreasing on account of
new railroads running through the
country j 100 per cent, more valua
ble than in 1860.
Pickens—Have decreased in value,
uplands at least 100 per cent, com
pared with 1860. ii.now of nothing
that will remedy US except a railroad.
We have one of the finest counties
in the State, abounding in iron ore,
marble, and inexhaustible, never
failing water power. All we need is
to have oUr resources developed.
J udge EmmonV Alligator.—While
I was at Lake Jesu I went gator
hunting with Judge Eminonds of
Jacksonville We found a twelve foot
alligator sleeping on top of the water
about twelve feet from the shore, near
a small grovfe ttt palmettos. The
Jiklgfc put a fide ball difbetty through
the alligator’s skull. The ball made
a terrible hole. The ’gator was as
dead as a mackerel. We slipped a
rope around his shoulders aud towed
him ashore. While the monster lay
in the watef atld We Were debating
as to how we would get his head off,
I jabbed a stick through the bullet
hole down into his brain. A colored
man who was passing by said: "Boss,
you done be careful with dat ah
gaitae. Me no done gone dead yet.
You better stick your knife isl lie fore
paw to see es he dead. Ite done do
you some mischief, Boss, suali, if he
no dead.” I took my knife out of its
sheath and ran it into the alligator’s
fore paw. The monster lashed the
water With his tail, almost knocking
the Judge into the lake, and nearly
putting out my eyes. WDen I recover
ed iny eyesight, I saw the Judge, but
not the alligator. The animal had
sailed off, stick and all, and left no
track behind him.
A Search ton TrtEASimr AbawUc/Sed.
—The search for the treasure of the
Spanish frigate LeOCadia. sunk many
years ago upon the coast of Ecuador,
may now be considered at an end:
The sum of money lost by this wreck
amounted to several millions of dol
lars, and repeated efforts have been
made at intervals to secure it The
last expedition for this purpose *.*is
that which left San Francisco about
a year ago in the steamer Mary Tay
lor, which was fitted out at great
expense by a company organized bo
seek for the treasure. After a year’s
laborious flffbfts the enterprise has
proved a dead failure, nothing having
been forlnd save about half a deck of
badly corroded Mexican dollars. A
great deal of capital has been stink
in the venture, and orders have been
given for the sale of the expeditionary
vessel, which is now at Callao.
The code don't seem to be in much fa-
Tor with editors down in Texas. One of
theta the other day was Challenged by
some enemy, and instead of aeoepting. he
merely knocked him down and Sir off his
ear. And still the chap is dissatisfied.
An old bachelor said “there's a sight
more jewelry worn nowadays than when I
