Suggestions M PliMitcrs. As thetime is now at hand wn,.n oar far mers are preparing for pitching another crop, we venture t<> make a few suggestions, with the hope that they may be of a practi cal use-to the farmer, and of real benefit to our country, * * * * * “No.r y e who live In luxury and ease, in pump ah i pride, •Think these lost thmt-s unworthy of your , ' ' ear.” . First, then, see that you begin right, by . having your fences .repaired, and put in good order; have the fence corners cleared of shrubs, and well raked. The reasons for this are of course obvious to every one, viz: be cause the vegetable matter which usually ae- •eunainlates in fence corners, if taken and com posted with cotton seed or stable manure, niakes an excellent "fertillizer to go under corn or cotton. Another reason is, that by keeping the fence corners clean, you protect and preserve your rails from rotting, for a Ibn gertime, and bv this means there may be a great saving to the farther, since rail timber is beginning to be quite an item in some sec tions of enr country. Another reason is. that there is less danger of fire when you are burn ing your log's and trash, if yriur fence corners ure well Hiked. Anil last, but by nd means the least, a good ft nee and a clean fence row gives a much better appearance to your farm, it is an evidence of thrift and business capaci ty, and enhances the value of your real estate at least twenty per cetlt. Second, have all of your fani'ibg imple ments in good cu'd' r. A skillful workman should have good tools. See thntyonr plows have good points, and that they have the right set for breaking and preparing your land as it ■ should be done: flee that your plow stocks ure flinde correctly ahd strong. See that all your hock have godd handles, and that your ; hoes have the proper set fordoing good work’ i Third, break your land thoroughly and 1 deep. Do not plaut more than you can cnl- • tivate tcell, and at the same time be sure to ; plant a sufficient area in corn, to make enough forborne Use ; let it be plentiful, for whenever ; our country begins to be self sustaining, : then weare on the high l’OUd to indej endence. ; Me would also suggest that planters be care- I ' ful about giving liens upon their prospective 1 crops.. Endeavor to keep a good credit with your factor, but at the same time, manage, if j you can, so as to be able to control yiiur own ■ crop after it is made, and thereby strengthen the credit and influence of planters. Not withstanding the present scarcity of labor, our country seems now to be in -.pretty good condition, and why? Because agood quanti ty of provisions was made last year, and with f a\ moderate cotton crop, the farmer lias re-! cc-ived remunerative prices for the staple. | 1’lunt a less area in cotton, and receive higher f prices ; plant more corn, and be independent, “So with superior boon may your rich soil, j . Exuberant, nature's better blessings pour • G’pr every land, the naked nations clothe. And bo th’ exhanstless granary of a world." : mon caliber. He would be willing to preach the GospcLto his congregation “without mon- j ey and without price,” provided he should | receive a respectable Salary as a teacher, j Nevertheless, he would be willing, from each member of his chu’cb. at intttrva s to re: eive a shote, a bushel ot meal, a sack of dour, a brace of turkeys and Of ducks, a dozen of chickens, a basket of eggs arid a few “other things too tedious to mention.” Sonie of my friends with whom I have been consulting, try to persuade me to desist from becoming a teacher. They say that many souls may be lost for want of my ministerial services; but I tell them, if people want their souls saved, they may follow me up and I will preach to them. If they are too obstinate to do this, any reasonable man will agree with me at once that their souls are not worth saving. ^Perhaps the public may be astonished at this announ tinent ; but, if they will bear with me a moment, 1 11 make the matter sim ple, plain and easy. The public^ have ^11 heard the text front the Book "He that preachetu the Orispel should live of the Gospel.” Well, I agree to this, j : wish to live of the Gospel: but, any mart of 1 good sense would of course wish to live more easily and more boutifuily than I have been living. i It may be asked, why I wish to assume the ] “birch t" I will just say, that I have a burning ; desire for the sairation of as great a num ber as possible. An J I have frequently heard, from very wise men, that there is nothing else j that so effectually prepares the mind of youth, for the reception of eoelesiuscie teachings as | the effectual external application of Pedagog ical disciplin : after this lias be< n fairly ap- ! plied the most,stubborn boys become as quiet its the tame and ••bears" of Wall street. > WANDO FERTILIZER I twelve years arid six months. lit this “den,” j as he calls it.

And finally, when death or dishonor, expdsurer to the noble woman whom he had so fondly | hoped soon to call by the endearing name of , wife, stared him in the tace, he chose rather to meet his God than to bear the' scoff's of an ; unforgiving world.

The heaviest com crop ever "Town in the United States was that of last A'ear, Avhich the Agricultural Report states at the hii<je total of 1,100,000,- 000 bushels. Not only is this, the largest crop, but it is said to be com of better quality and of greater in trinsic A'alue than usual. Iowa was the banner corn-growing State; her average being nearly forty-one bnsl>- els an acre. Unfortunately for some of tliosg who would like to have the Iowa com, it takes the price of four bushels of said com to get one bushel to the Atlantic markets. This is one of the reasons why some people are demanding cheaper transportation* between the West and the East. Ceil. Rorihffi BieetecU Gen. John, B.
