Jfarrn anb <£range gHaitcrs. From the Xewuan Blade. Letter From a Farmer. Crab-Grass Hollow, April 27, 1877. Editor Blade: As 1 have retired to the shades ot private life, I have concluded that it is a solemn duty I owe to the benighted public to en lighten them on agricultural matters. True, I may not know as much about fanning as Horace Greeley or Solon Robinson, but I do know a tiling or two. You ve no idea, unless you have j tiied it, how pleasant it is to get away from the strife and turmoil of public care and responsibility, and quietly squat down by a stump and wait pa tiently for a hawk to come out and be shot, while you snuS the sweet scent ot the crab apple and buck-eye, and listen to the melodious song of the frog and woodpecker, and watch the playful gambols of the gentle grasss hopper and innocent lizzard. But enough of sentiment: so we’ll come down to business I’m running a miscellaneous farm this year, to begin with. I bedded out inv to bacco seed early, so as to have slips in good time. Farmers lose a great deal by planting their tobacco seed whole. If they will cut them up so as to leave only one or two eyes on a piece, the seed will go a great ways further: besides, you then have a chance to find the worms, if there are any, and save I rouble of hunting them after the plant grows up. And then again, you are not annoyed with worms in your tobacco after it is put up. \V hen I take a chew of tobacco and find a full grown worm housed in it, lose faith m the eternal fit ness of things. I intended to ha\e my cabbage plants grafted in the fall, as they get better start than spring grafts, but 1 failed to get scions in time. The large early red is the best for this lati tude, as they come on earlier, make better pies aud custards, and are much better for roasting in the winter.— Some people prefer tho Round Top variety, but it makes too much stalk and not enough fruit, and is hard to keep unless you have plenty of sun shine to cut and dry :t in, which you don’t most always have. I have planted nearly ten square rods iu cotton. M, reason for plant ing so much is the probabilities of a war in Europe, when they will need a great deal of cotton to make tents and canteens and ether things, which will raise the price of the staple. It is well to look ahead, and be prepar ed to take advantage of the inarke s However, if those fellows over there conclude not to fight cotton will go down, and I will be everlastingly bus t« and, w hich, will l>«* just about my luck. I manured it ivith ashes and soda, so as to make it rise ea;ly, and perhaps it may also cause a rise in the price. 1 he first day of this month was the proper time to plant guano, to a good crop ot--disappointment I did’nt plant any this year, as there is no way to get it except by giving a mortgage, and that kills the strength ot il so that it is nearly worthless.— And, to tell the truth, I dont like to have it mixed with my milk aud but ter at this season ot the vear. It will do in the winter, when there are no other vegetables, but in the spring 1 prefer polk and potatoe tops boiled to get her. Cm some of my farmer brethren tell me how to .make a trap to catch hawks? I thought of trying to drive lhem into a bird riet, but there is a great difficulty in the wav, and that is setting them out of the net. It is like fishing a seine when you know there is a snapping turtle in it. Yon think vou want the fish but you know you don’t want to put your hand on the business end of the.turtle. So with the hawk. You might get him into the net, but getting him out would be about as troublesome as getting your self out ot a law-nit. I wish somebody would give me -ome instruction about planting pota toes as there is a great difference of opinion among my neighbors on the subject. Some tell me to plant them with ilie eyes down, so the roots can (ell how to gimv, and others say plant the eyes up so they can tell how to get up through tho ground. Ti is ve ry impoitaiit that there should he no mistake in ttie matter, tor it the tops happen to grow down and the roots up it might play the deuce with the crop—-don’t you sec. There is a great need of education on this impoilant subject. * Before I close let me give a few words of advice to other young far mers. lie sure when you first start your plow', to get somebody to har ness up your horse I begmi by put ting the backhand underm-alfo, and when he tightened the traces he lifted himself off the ground and grunted like he had the colic. Then I put it behind, like breeching, thinking he wanted some wav to hold back, but that wouldn't work. If a friend had i not come along I expect I should have put it around nis neck at last Then I made the traces too tight, and when he started the single tree tripped him up behind, and he tried to eet down , oh the plow'Stock. I\e got things all right now, so that I can plow and whistle all at the same lime, where there are no roots, Out I’ve not ad vanced far enough to lay off a straight row. When I reach that point I’ll conclude that I am neatly perfect. Yours, agriculturally Sandy Higgins. From the Atlanta Constitution. Work for May. Cotton plauting will be through with in most parts of the State at j the beginning of’ this month, but where uncompleted should be push • ■ o<i forward without delay and fin ished by the 10th, eveu in upperGeor gia. Upland corn has all been planted, i and in the northern section of the ; Slate is now ready for the first plough j ing, while in southern and middle j Georgia it is much farther advanced, j The low grounds or bottoms are vet |ho v ever to be planted, and this may be done now as soon as circumstances will permit. As crows, cut-woims and field mice ate so destructive to ; young corn on bottoms, take care to j prevent their ravages bv soaking the ; seed in some preparation which will ibe distasteful to them. As frequent ! inquiries have been made of us as to i the best means of doiug this, we lake [ this occasion to recommend soaking the sted in spirits of turpentine dilut ed with an equal qnamity of water, and then rolling in plaster. This is ! the method successfully practiced by the enterprising farmers of the Phila delphia agricultural club in Clayton county, who reported the same some years ago, to the State agncultuial society, as a most satisfactory precau tion. Sweet potato slips should be set out now at the earliest opportunity— the sooner the better, and the earlier you will have potatoes next fall. Have your ground prepared and select the occasion between showers, dipping the j'lauts in a tolerably stiff mixture of cow pen or hen house manure and water. Four by two feet is a favor ite distance, if large potatoes are de sired. The present month is a favorable | ri.ne for sowing millet and fodder corn, and we hope that every farmer will have ins ‘patch’ at least of both \\ Htei-'inelons mast he planted now on very thoroughly prepared and rich land. Give them a plenty ol distance —t welve leet apart—and have on v i two plants in a hill, which Htoulcl be I very fiat. A row of com might he put | *" ’ ' between each row of hills. i In the garden, if it has not been previously neglected, we may soon look for an abundance of the earlier vegetables. The principal thing to be attended to in the garden now 13 to keep it clean of grass and weeds and to stir the surface.frequently about the growing plants. Tomatoes should be transplanted now and squashes and cucumbers planted at once. It will pay to mu' h cucumbers, which should lie done immediately after the first blooms ap pear. Clean out, fumigate and whitewash the hen-house inside and out. Put fresh straw or grass m the nest boxes and sprinkle them \vi h a solution of carbolic acid, and keep a piece of cop peras tied in a lag or a piece of the hyposulphite of soda in the chicken trough to prevent cholera.

Ihe greatest humbuggery in the world was those same ‘good old dnvs. We heard one of tile-most prominent commission merchants of Coin mbit-', say that in IS4.S, good cotton in Mu— [ con soid at six dollars a bale—about a cent and a half per pound—and i what we call good middlings at three i !to four cents. A leading merchant :of that city predict? i that cotton would never alter be regarded as a i cash article, but only used to barter ! j for necessaries. A prominent New 1 \ 01k house wrote to A| lalachacola i (there were few telegraph lines in 18- ! 48, for the first .line was laid only six v< ars‘ before) to send him no' more j consignments of cotton unless the; 1 height was paid. Cotton was then j | diU g on the market, yet the United States crop was only 2,349,636 bales that season. Cotton bales averaged I h’om 4.'»0 to 500 pounds- —Columbus !
