1)ocm Farming I’ajl •
Editor Plantation : D'K'h fanning i>ny?
T)mt i« now tin- mooted 4ju4‘#tion. We
say it will i«iy if jirojterly carried oil.
We oaiiuot t*xjmm‘l farming Jo pay when
w<* hoar moil talk and act in thin wise:
One aayß: “I won’t sow in wheat,, for
one acre planted in cotton will huy more
flour than I n.-od." Another says: “At
the proneiit price of i»>rk, I'll raise no
hogs, but huy my meat.” And another
h.ivs: “Cotton brings so high a price,
I'll plant all cotton and buy my bread,
meat and all else I require." Such is
what makes farming don't pay, and it
never will or ran, under such a system,
for the reason, the true system of fann
ing brvomes changed from its normal
condition, and assumes that of specula
tion, instead of the old straight-forward
system of making the farm self-sustain
ing and self-supporting. This is no fan
cy sketch I have drawn; but it is all tme,
as I have heard such assertions made by
farmers of *mv acquaintance, and they
have been carried out too faithfully for
their good and the good of their coun
try.
We shall endeavor to show the error
of such a system. The business of the
farmer is that of a producer, to raise all
that is needed on the farm in the way of
provisions, and.a surplus to supply all,
also, that are not engaged in agricultural
pursuits. In a word, the farmer’s occu
pation is that of ft producer of food, and
not, a consumer; and, as such, has been
so much departed from by Southern far
mers that at. least half or more of the pro
visions imported into the country are for
the use of farmers and not for the non
produsers; and what a reflection this is
upon a people who boast, of the superior
qualities of their climate and soil, and
its adaptability of growing successfully
any and every variety of crops. We can
suy in truth, the fault is not in the far
mers; for as they sow, so they reup.
Now, as regards the fallacious arguments
used, “Sow no wheat," “raise no hogs,”
and “plant all cotton,” a more ruinous
system could not bo devised; ill fact it
has already been proved go wherever it
has been carried out; and the result
shows a system of farming that has near
ly beggared all engaged in it, and still is
persisted in. It is done, as they say, to
raise money; but, so far, it has not made
money sufficient to make it even self
sustaining, as it is carried on with re
newed loans, mortgages, and turning
over everything to the parties furnishing
the supplies. And how this can he eall
i>d farming, surpasses my comprehen
sion -it is but working for ruin. There
are certain laws governing all pursuits,
and when deviated from, Jess is the re
sult; the income may lai large or small,
but the profits aeeru'ng out of incomes
—what is saved—is what is made. The
farmer, therefore, who saves the most
from his farm, makes the most, and
makes his farm not only self-supporting,
but a profitable investment. And as re
gards raising our wheat, oats, clover,
corn and cotton, as well as our cattle,
sheep, hogs and colts, it should be con
sidered how all important it is to that
rotating system, so necessary to keep the
fertility of our lands; they are but the
means iu our reach to conduct our op
erations successfully and profitably, and
as we discard them, we, to that, extent,
lessen our means for doing good, and
confine ourselves to limited circumstan
ces.
There is no pursuit followed by man
that requires such undivided attention,
watchful care and constant study, os
farming, comprising, as it does, sueh a
variety of duties all requiring the atten
tion of a practicable mind and practical
execution. We may theorize in all clear
ness, and make it appear ns plain and as
simple its possible, hut unless it all be re
duced to practical results, there is no ab
solute bcuefit arising from it,. And to
sum up all in a few words, the result
must lie in making the farm self-sustain
ing, self-supporting, and affording to
the owner an independent and comfort
able maintenance. Such was the policy
mid rule with the old time fanners, who,
when they went, to market carried their
farm products with them, and bartered
for what they needed. Store accounts
were then unknown; it was pay as you
go and live within your means. They
lived as farmers should- plain, bounti
fully anil independently. The fashions
and extravagance of city life never en
tered the minds of their wives and
daughters; the country then had its sim
ple, modest and becoming ways, the city
had theirs, and there was no envying
and dashing between the two. lint,
now, how changed have all things be
come — the country trying to surpass the
city ! Is it any wonder, then, that, the
farmer lacks money, and must have mon
ey at the sacrifice of home comforts and
independence ? Hence we see what has
brought farming down to its present de
pendent slate. Money must he had to
meet tiie extravagance of the times, and
the only chance for money is cotton.
I’av as yen go. and attend to your farm
yourself, ami mv word for it, you will
find that "Farming Does Pay.” Forty
years ago, l commenced farming with I
the resolutions I have given you as ad
vice, and I have found it to pav; and it
will pay all who adhere to sueh rules.
Let those fancy cotton planters pursue’
their course, and you pursue the plan I
have advised, and time will soon show
which is the most correct.
Keeping an Okchabp Thrifty. —ln
order to keep an orchard thrifty, atten
tion should be paid to the demands there
of. Pruning alone is insufficient; the
roots must be fed with nutritious fertili
zers, and of a kind suitable for fruit trees.
Orchards left to themselves .devoid of
pruning and enriching of the soil, soon
bear very inferior fruit, and finally cease
bearing at all. An experienced fniit
culturist describes the fertilizer for or
chards as follows:
“All experience has proved that wood
ashes, lime—especially old rubbish mor
tar—muck or black mud from swamps
and ditches, woods earth and rotten
leaves from the corner of fences, well
rotted wood-pile manure penned up, in
which soap-suds, and all dirty or soapy
washings from the kitchens are thrown
in, bone dust, and a light dressing of
barn-yard manure, are approriate and
excellent manures, if applied early, for
almost all fruit trees; and more especial
ly for the apple, peach, pear and cherry.
These, or any of them, may be used as a
top dressing, or mixed with the soil dur
ing the winter or early in the spring, and
may be used, if well incorporated with
the soil, in planting trees. Top dressings
of lime rubbish aH deeply forked in as
the roots will permit, will work like mag
ic, especially if turf loam and well dis
composed night soil are added. These
not only stimulate growth and fruitage
by means of their high fertilizing quali
ties, hut the mechanical effect is highly
beneficial, keeping the soil porous for the
free growth of the roots, the exit of wa
ter anil the inlet of air.
SIX GOOD RULES.
Mr. Greeley’s statements of what he
knew about farming have long boon made
the text for many a joke at the practical
and good man. Not very long previous
to his death he laid some maxims on that
subject whieh a good many who have
been tillers of the soil from childhood to
old age would do well to take heed.
1. That the area under cultivation
should be within the limits of the capi
tal and labor employed; or in other words,
that on impoverished soils no one should
cultivate more land t han he could enrich
with manure, or fertilizers, lie it one acre
or twenty.
2. That there should he a law compell
ing every man to prevent his stock from
depredating on his neighbor’s field.
3. That green soiling is more econom
ical than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to
good fanning.
5. That the muck heap is the farmer’s
bank and that every t hing should be
added to it that will enlarge, it and in
crease at the same time its fertilizing
properties.
6. That no farmer or planter should
depend upon one staple alone, but should
seek to secure himself against serious
loss in bad seasons by diversity of pro
ducts.
Making Butter. —ln olden times,
Bays a foreign journal, butter-makers
never concerned themselves about the
temperature at which the butter was
made, but continued the churn, perhaps
for hours, until the butter came, without
lining able to tell why the same opera
tion, a few days before, required but. half
an hour. More recently, however, it
was decided that a temperature of (Mi
deg. F. was the most favorable to butter
making. Still more recent experiments
have shown that the temperature should
never be higher than 59 deg., or lower
than 55 deg. To determine this point, a
thermometer is absolutely indispensable,
and lining both cheap and easily under
stood by any one, there should be one iu
every dairy.
To-Take Grease Out of Velvet or
Cloth. Got some terpentine anil pour
it over the place that is greasy, rub it
till quite dry with with a piece of clean
flannel; if the grease be not. quite remov
ed, repeat the application, and when done
orush the place well, and hang up the
garment in the open air to take away the
smell.
Have you upon your farm no water
power (hat, at a little expense (and now
is the time to attend to it.,) might be
utilized for some work hitherto perform
ed by man or beast? There are thous
ands of beautiful, meandering streams
all over this southside country, at pres
ent. babbling along over their rocky beds,
amid a wilderness of briers and brush
wood, that, by a little draining and ditch
ing, might be diverted into other chan
nels and made to move machinery of any
kind used upon the farm.
A Boy’s Idea of Heaps. —Heads are
of different shapes and sizes. They are
full of notions. Large heads do not al
ways hold the most. Some persons can
tell just what a man is by the shape of
his head. High heads are the best. kind.
Very knowing lieople are called long
headed. A fellow that won’t stop for
anything or any body is called hot-head
ed. If he isn’t quite so bright they eall
him soft-headed; if he won’t la? coaxed
nor turned they call him pig-headed.
Animals have very small heads. When
your head is cut off you are beheaded.
Our heads an l all covered with hair, ex
cept bald heads. There are barrel heads,
heads of sermons and some ministers
used to have fifteen heads to one sermon,
pin heads; heads of cattle, as the farmer
I calls his cows and oxen; head winds;
I drum-heads; cabbage-heads; at logger
heads; heads of chapters; head him off;
head of the family; and go ahead—but
first be sure you are right.
A recently married man, coming home
late the other night, took an umbrella
from the rack and proceeded to his room.
The wife opened her eyes, and seeing
him supporting himself by the foot board,
and holding an umbrella OTer his head,
cried out iu astonishment, "What are
you doing? Are you crazy?” “No,”
said he, in an unsteady voice, “but—hie
hie—l supposed there’d he a storm—
hie—hi*—and so I’ve come prepared for
it.”

THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS.
The Savannah Daily Mo km no News fa ac
knowledged by the press and people to be the
best daily paper south of Louisville and east of
New Orleans. Carrying with it the prestige and
reliability of age, it bus all the vigor and vitality
of youth, and its enterprise «r. a gatherer ot the
the latest and freshest news has astonished its
contemporaries and met the warm approbation
ol ti e public.
During the year 1873. no expense of time, la
bor, and money will be spent to keep the Morn
ing Nkws ahead of all competitors in Georgia
journalism, and to deserve the Mattering encomi
ums heaped upon it from all quarters. There
ha", as yet, 1m en no serious attempt made to ri
val the special telegrams which the Nkws inau
gurated some years ago, and »be consequence is.
that the reader in search of the latest intelligence
always looks to the Morning Nkws. The tele
graphic arrangements of the paper are such that
the omissions made by the general press reports
are prompt!) aid reliably stiplied by its special
correspondents.
The Morning Nkws has lately been enlarged
to a thirty six column paper, and this broad
scope of type embraces, daily, everything ot in
terest that transpires inthedoma nos Literatim*,
Art, Science. Politics. Religion and General In
telligence: giving to the reader more and better
digest matter than any other paper in the fate.
It is. perhaps needless to speak of the politics
of the Morning Nkws. For years and years in
deed. since its estnblmoment— it has been a re
presentative Southern paper, and from that
time to the present, in all conjunctures, it has
consistent!)’ and persistently maintained Demo
critic States Rights principles, and labored, with
an ardor and devotion that know uo abatement,
to promote and preserve the interests and honor
of the South.
The special matures of the Morning Nkws w ill
be retained and i nproved upon dm ing the ensu
ing year, and several new attractions will be
added.
The Georgia News items, with their quaint
and pleasant humor, and the epitome of Florida
affairs, w ill be continued during the year. The
local department will be. as it has been for the
past year, the most complete and reliable to be
found in any Savannah paper, and the commer
cial columns will be full and accurate.
The price of the Daily is SIO.OO per annum;
ss.oofor six months; SI.OO for one month.
THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS.
This edition ol the Morning Mkws is especial
ly recommended to those who have not the facil
ities of a daily mail. Everything that has been
