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.” Iron Rust From Linen. —To remove iron rust from linen,apply lemon juieeand salt, and put it in the sun.

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 said ic regard to the daily edition may be re peated of the Tri-weekly. It is made up with great care, and contains the latest despatches and mai ket reports. The price of this edition fa $6.00 per annum, $3.00 for six months, and $ 1.50 for three months. THE WEEK!, V NEWS. The Wrkki.y Morning Nkws particularly rec- i ommemls itself to the farmer and planter, and to : those who live off the line of railroad. It is one j of the best family papers in the conn try, and its | cheapness b tings it within tie reach of all. It j contains Thirty-six solid columns of reading mat- i ter, and fa mailed so as to reach subscribers | with the utmost promptness.
