is a Good Fanner?
-*#We differences of opinioo exist
pn the question which heeds this
article. In ibe estimation of a ma
jority of men, however, he is consid
ered the best farmer who farms the
most land, raises the biggest crops,
works the great • ■ u umber of l auds,
rnns the moat plows, etc. In oar
cotton-raising country he is beyond
all doubt the best farmer in p pular
esteem who raises the greatest num
ber of bales, and largest number to
the band. Mr A., who, with a self- j
satisfied look, t.ells you, “I mode
1000 bags last year with 100 bands—
ten bags to the hand ” —is set down
at once as a “ fine farmer.” Mr. 8.,
who made 1,100 bags with 99 hands,
throws A. into the shade, and is uni-
versally spoken of as a “splendid
farmer;” but when Messrs. C. Sc D.
come along, who M run eight big
places,’’ and made 3000 bags—“eleven
bags to the fall hand ” —A. and B.
aink into comparative insignificance,
and the praises of C . Sb D.—“the
most successful planters in the South”
—“the biggest planters out”—are
on every tongue, wherever their fame
has reached.
Nobody asks whether the “fine
fanner,” the “ splendid fanners,” of
the “ biggest planters out," have im
proved their lands by draining, ditch
es, subroiling and manuring; whether
they have ascertained the character
and elements of their lands, and
cropped and manured them with ref
erence to tbeir capacity aud require
ment*; whether they have raised their
own provision*, made their manure,
kept accurate accounts of their farm
ing operations, and have a practical
knowledge of the science of farming.
All that is asked is, bow many bagß
of cotton have they raised ? Their
plantations may be spotted all over
with old fields, worn and tom to bar
renness; their fields may be seamed
with yawning gnllies; their bouses,
bums and stables may be as tumbled
down and yawning aa possible, with
out a flower or a vegetable in the
garden, and all the appliances of the
farm may be as rude and unsightly as
can be imagined. The big ootton
crops blot out all other transgres
sions.
Thia id all wrong. The good far
mer is he who raises big crops, and,
at the same time, improves his land;
who understands his business, attends
to it, and does it; whoso stock are of
the beet, and in the best condition;
whose fenoes are always in good re
pair ; whose farm buildings are com.
modious and neat; whose dwelling
has the appearance of the home of
civilised people; whose manure heap
is very large and increasing; whose
corn-crib and smoke-house are over
full of corn and meat raised by him
self; who is surrounded by all the
necessaries and comforts of life; who
studies his profession, and strives to
reach the perfection of farming econ
omy, and knows at the end of the
year exactly what he has made, what
he has expended, and how he stands
with the world. He may not raise
more than ten bags of cotton, or
even lees; he may bo only that des
picable thing, a “patch farmer,” but
in reality he is incalculably a better
farmer than the “fine,” the “splen
did,” and the “ biggest planters oat,"
and the time ia rapidly approaching
wheu to follow bin improved system,
emigrate or starve, will be the only
alternative left to those who now des
pise agrienharai improvement, boast
of never reading an agricultural book
or journal, and fancy that what they
don’t know is not worth knowing,
because they are doing exactly as
“daddy done”—toting corn in one
end and a rock in the other end of
the sack, aa the most economical
mode of balancing the load.— South,

The startling drawback on nearly all me
dicinal agents has ever been that in tbelr
process of pnrgation aud purification they
have also debilitated the ryatem. To obviate
this difficulty physicians have long sought
for an agent that would purge, purifyaud
strengthen at one and the same time. Their
research has at last been rewarded by a dis
oovery which fnlly realises the fondest desires
of the medical faculty, and which is justly
regarded ss the most Important triumph that
Pharmacy baa ever achieved. This import
ant desideratum is Dr. Tutt's Vegetable Liver
Fills, which purify the blood and remove all
corrupt humors and unhealthy accumulations
from the body, and yet produce no weakness
or lassitude whatever, but, on the contrary,
tone the stomach and invigorate the body
daring the progress of tbeir operation. They
unite the heretofore irreconcilable qualities
of a Strengthening purgative and a purifying
tonic. Dr. Tutt's Pills are the moat active
and searching medicine in existence. They
at once attack the very root of disease, and
their action is so prompt, that in an hour or
two after they are taken the patient it aware
of their good effects. They mar be taken at
any time without restraint of diet or occupa
tion; they produce neither-nausea, griping or
debility, and as a family medicine they havu
no rival. Price 26 cents a box. Sold by all

GOOD NEWS AT LAST!
HOW TO SAVE MONEY!
STARTLING DISCLOSURES!
Read Carefully. It will Astonish, Profit, and Gratify Yon.
The intelligent world ha* believed for a long time that a first-class, reliable, strong, dura
ble and light-running Hewing Machine could be manufactured and sold for a reasonable pnee.
This lias been verified at last! 0,.
'I he Wilson Sewing Machine Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, is justly entitled to the honor
of being characterized as a public benefactor, for placing upon the market a lirst-class Sew
ing Machine in every respect, at a price within the reach of all, and at the same time finish
ing it in artistic elegance, pleasing to the most fastidious and cultivated persons.
Agent* and canvassers in the interest of other Machines represent that the Wilson Machine
is of no account, or say it is too cheap, and will soon wear out. The reas.n they so falsely
represent the Wilson Machine is because their success depends upon it; for wherever the Wil
son is introduced, no intelligent person will buy any other.
The cost of labor and material in the Wilson, and all other Machines that are first-class, is
about the same, and will not vary one dollar either way. Therefore, if the Wilson Sewing
Machine Company can afford to sell their Machines at $55, all other large Companies could
do the same. .. ,
The Wilson 8c wing Machine Company is not *o mercenary and grasping as some. It refu
se* to join any rings or combinations for the purpose of putting up or keeping up prices.
Concerning the merits of tbe Wilson Sewing Machine we offer the Machine itself, and in
vite the severest mechanical and expert criticism. It is made from the very best quality of
*teel and iron. Every part that is liable to wear is thoroughly case-hardened, and the steel
tempered. It makes the Lock stitch, alike on both sides, Hems, Fells, Stitches, Tucks,
Gathers, Binds, Braids, Cords, Puffs, Ruffles, etc., etc., and sews with equal facility from the
finest of fabric* to Leather*
Before buying a Sewing Machine, examine every one in the market. Then carefully ex
amine the Wilson New Underfeed. Try it; test it. Then compare it to the representations
made regarding it by it* enemic*, and you will lie perfectly satisfied that the Wilson New
Underfeed Sewing Machine is the best in the world!
The old and true adage is: “The best is the cheapest.” It does not (bean to pay the
highest price to get the beat.
Call and examine for yourself, and see that what we aay is no idle talk.
