Tho results of our labor for the pres- f , season will soon lie known, and Whether satisfactory or the reverse, ean- not now lie changed. However this may be. a careful review of the year's work, noting and studying tho causes, which pave Jed to either success's or failure, will gradually aid us in our preparations tor another season. By applying tho Ruowieiigo gamed from our experience of tho past year, we may lie able to im prove upon our successes, and even glean benefit from our mistakes. VI1K FAKMEB, AH WELL A8 OTHERS, MUST STUDY TO 8UCCF.KD. ill these busy, rushing days of rapid transit, electric cars, telegraphs and tel ephones, the farmer who would succeed must, avail himself of every opportu nity, watch tho markets, watch every chance, and he willing to accept every reliable guide which points him to better methods. Many thinking farmors now realizo that MILLIONS HAVE IIEF.N LOST TO THE SOUTH by ignorance and carelessness, and many are applying themselves heart, head anil hand to tho task of redeeming of lami lrom tho curse atul tho consequences of the one-crop system—that gigantic mis take which lias well nigh ruined us. t hey realize, too, that, this is a progres sive age, and that the unthinking, sloth ful farmer will necessarily he left hope lessly m the background. Relegating the political questions of tho hour to tho rear, let us calmly survey AOIUCULTUKAI, SURKONDINOS. How many advantages we have of tho situation, soil and climate, and how lightly, even indifferently, wo have valued them I That 'we have fol lowed mistaken agricultural methods, these scarred and worn hill sides bear mute witness. That we are confronted by the gravest agricul tural problems, no thinking man will deny. Producing as we do 75 per cent, or the world s supply of cotton, and thus hold ing in our grasp the key to tho solution of our difficulties, why is it that WE ARE NOT KNJOYlNtt THE PROSPERITY to which tliis monopoly entitles us? Why is it that this immense crop, which should make us rich, has brought only poverty alike to tho producer and to tho soil. So much has been said, and I have already writ ion so repeatedly on this 1 mbjeet that 1 almost hesitate to address you again on a question, which has been so exhaustively treated. But when 1 look around over my own state, and con template tho condition of our farmers amt their lands, and realize that the same distinctive policy which lias brought lmt disappointment and poverty, may he continued, I cannot remain silent, and I feel that I cannot repeat too often or urge with too much emphasis that until we can come down to a LEGITIMATE SYSTEM OF AGRICULTURE, a self-supporting system, we cannot expect anything more substantial in the future than wo have have gained in the past. We are straining every nerve and exhausting every resource to produce a crop of cotton, one-third THE GROSS VALUE of which goes to the north and west for breadstuff's alone. None of this is for meat, for which we also spend mill ions of dollars. Suppose one-third of tho land devoted to the’production of cotton the past season had been put in foal crops, and crops on which to fatten hogs, we would now have an abundance of everything to supply our homo demand, and instead of a crop of 9,000,000 bales at 01 cents, wo would have had a crop of 6,000,000. worth anywhere from 10 to 15 cents. That I am right in this, is proven by the recent jump in tho priceof cotton following immediately upon the unfavor able reports from tho cotton fields which point with certainty to a short crop. The following figures also give the samo conclusion: No. Acres Planted. Bales. Value 1866-67..... 6.000,000 2,233,000 ♦297,810.0011 1870-71 8.50n,000 4,347,01)0 330,0011,00 n 1880-81 16,000,000 6,B'H),000 356,000,0-10 1890- 91 211,1100,000 8,500,000 429,000(10(1 1891- 92 23,000,000 9,000,000 333,0*^000 I have submitted these figures for your careful consideration. They show that we have added immensely to our cotton acreage, which means also addi tional guano, meat anil supply hills. They also show that while we have more than doubled our cotton crop in twenty years, the price has been re duced more than 100 per cent. Turn which way wo will there is no escape from tho stern realities of these facts. Let every mail who roads this article ponder well over this question. Around our firesides let us discuss these grave problems, which are to affect the happi ness. prosperity and future usefulness of coming generations, Don’t get disgust ed and say you have heard this advice until you are tired of it. Tho hope of the state, tho stability of our home in stitutions, turn at last upon whether we mnko our farms self-sustaining and at the samo time improve our lands, At a meeting of farmers last winter, the fol lowing languago was used: ‘‘Some are lighting tho wolf from the door, while the wife and little ones are poorly clad, and the latter growing up without education. Nearly all the mules and horses nro mortgaged, and a spirit of unrest pervades our entiro agricul tural community. This lamentable con dition confronts the town as well as the country. If the hitter dies from poverty, a speedy dissolution of the former is inevitable. “Wo nro to solve a condition, not a theory. Reduced to its last analysis, it can be summed up in this sentence: ‘Waste of time, money and energy in the over-production ot r cotton and the under production of all tho necessaries of life.” Teach this doctrine diligently to your children. Talk of it when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, when you lie down and you riso up—bind it for a sign upon your hand, and write it upon tho posts of your house, aud on your gates and carry out its principles m your farm management. But, you say, we are in debt. Tell us how to pay out and save something.

Tho present report being predicted hugely on tho yield from gathered or partly gathered acreage looses much of the uncertainty that attends estimates based alone upon conditions existing earlier in the season. The previous re ports by correspondents for this year are substantiated by the maturing crops in nearly every instance. The declino in indication of the yield of some crops is due to the fact that the injuries resulting from unfavorable seasons were of such n character that the extent of tho damage could hardly be properly estimated until later in the season. COTTON: In this, our staple crop, tho one upon which we depend to supply our want* outside of what wo are able to raise on the farm, is shown (ho most marked de cline. Excessive wot weather, followed by drouth, and this drouth again fol lowed by excessive wet weather, lias been tho prevailing character of tho season. Such weather condition resulted in shedding and casting of fruit, anil in rust and rot. The full extent of thr damage (lone was difficult of determina tion during the early month, as much of the crop presents a fine appearance ils to weed, bnj with maturing shows hut little fruit, with small and lightly filled bolls. From many of tho counties, osporially those located in Southwest Georgia, comes tlie report that the yield in those counties of that section 'will be the poorest ever known. When we consider the fact that this is a greatcotton pro ducing portion of our state, tho outlook fora large yield Is anything but flattering. And when we note (lie unsatisfactory conditions and discouraging reports from all over the date, with the great reduc tion in acreage and in tho uso of com mercial fertilizers, we can safely predict that during tiie past decade Georgia has not produced so small a crop as that of tliis year will be. If the decrease yield promisod was the result alone of a reduction in the acreage we would have much cause for congrat- - lation, and as it is, tho gratifying reduc tion that was made will do'much to wards lessening the total yield. Tho recent report from ' toe New Or leans cotton exchange shows that tho re ceipts so far tliis year are smaller than those of ally year since 1888. This indi cates that the reports on acreage sent out by the heads of tho agricultural de partments of the various cotton states are correct, also that the crop has suf fered from unfavorable seasons in all tho states. The decrease in promised yield is making itself felt on the market not withstanding the enormous surplus car ried over from last year, and under this influence the price lias already advanced over three-fourths of a cent" from the low price of tho summer months. That supply and demand govern our great product, like all other products, is em phasized by this advance, and it brings pointedly before the farmers that if they want a remunerative price for their cot ton, the yield must he reduced by cut ting down the acreage, so that a' small crop will be the result of favorablo and unfavorable seasons. Speculation un doubtedly influences the daily fluctua tions of the market, and may at times depress it or give it an unnatural impetus, but compared by decades the story is one of increas< 1 production and decreased prico. In the monthly talk of tho Commissioner will ho found a tabulated statement of the number of bales produced and the value of the crops for several ydars which gives a comprehensive view of tho wliolo mat ter. The world, tt wouldseem, has about $400,000,000 to pay for its cotton clothing, tliis sum tho cotton growers will receive whether the crop bo a large or a small one. It is to be hoped that tho present upward tendency of the market will con tinue until such figures are reached that cotton may be made at a profit. While tho crop is backward, yet nearly all of it Will be ready for market at an early date, for while tho first bolls that mature are ten days to two weeks late, yet as there is but little August fruit upon the plants nearly all the bolls will soon he open and ready for picking. This may operate against the farmer by caus ing a too rapid marketing and number of years. Iioas. The prospect of pork for this year is not so good as that for lost voar. Where hogs have remained free from cholera, their condition is perhaps better than hist year, but more localities have suf fered from the ravages of this disease tins year than last, thus reducing the general average. table. i T, be f°9o\ying tabjo givo the present indication of the total j ichl of com and cotton compared with an average total yield in tho state by section: North Georifia Middle Georgia.... southwest Georgia.

Many cows will stand more quietly and give down their milk more freely while eat- ing. rhe milking should bo done rapidly, talcing care, however, not to exert too much strength in closing tho hand, so ns to brume the teats, or to thrust the hand against tho udder. It should pro ceed steadily until finished. If tho ant- nml is uneasy, work more cautiously, but do not givo up, nor get in a passion with her. When the milk is drawn it should be taken out of the stable at once, aud put where it will not bo exposed to any foul odors ev*i to tho breath of tho cattlo. 1 he strong smell so often noticed in the milk, is usually due to either tho fine particles of dust from tho udder, or the lack of the ventilation in tho Rtaliles and a neglect to remove the milk at once If not to bo traced to either of these it may be found that the cow herself Is in a feverish condition from some cause mill has imparted tho tasto to the milk while yet undrawn. If the milk is of that sort in which the cream rises rapidly, it should be strained at once. Cattle are as much bonofltted by daily grooming as aro horses, but it should be done with a gentle hand. If farmers will break up any rich basins or other good lands that they are not cultivating, from first of May till l.ith June, harrow well and smooth, and save tho splendid native hay that will coino up spontaneously, they will not have so many poor, scrub cattle and mules,and will luxuriate on rich milk and butter during the cold months of winter. GEORGIA HAY. Mr. Culpepper farther stated that cattle and horses would forsake tho western hay for tho sweeter anil more nutritious hny cut and cured front our nutivo grasses. His statement is in accord with the experience of ninny of tliis section, no tably Mr. S. P. Salter, a stock raiser of long and large experience, both in this section and in the blue grass regions of Kentucky. Mr. Salter’s statement to tho efiect that our native grass cut and cured mado the best hay in tho world, was at first received with a grain or two of salt, until actual experience had demonstrated that ho was evidently cor rect. There is an almost unlimited demand for liny in Albany at tiffs season, mul our farmers could cut and cure a larger quantity, and they could dispose of it ut remunerative prices. Some planters manifest a disposition to cut and cure more hay, while others a,ro disinclined to cut tho grasses from their lands under the impression that it impoverishes the soil. It certainly will impoverish soil unless it is generously fertilized. But that is tho key to tho situation in this country. Wo rely too much on the imstiniula'toil product ion of the soil. The soil is susceptiblo of highest cultivation, and tlie more gen erously it is fertilized, tho larger in pro portion will ho the yield and tho profits. —Albany News. Tlie greatest needs of the farmers of today is information in tlnar calling To supply this want they should take and read agricultural journals, anil from them drink in that which would enrich tlier minds, flier fieids, their graueries, their pockets. Their families would grow up more wise, more useful, and society would lie vastly benefited and agricultural resources would lie de veloped at a more rapid and profitable rate. Every farmer should produce as near as possible on his farm all supplies for his family and stock; also fertilizers to maintain the fertility of his soils. The time has come when furmers must he more observing, more thoughtful and more determined to understand their own surrounding, that they may make the best uso ofToverything within their reach. When they will do this success will no longer he a question. Our most non-productive lands, which have grown up in sedge grass anil aban doned as worthless, can tie mado to pro duce a good average crop of cotton or corn tlie first year at little expense. In the fall, with a good turning plow and rnllirg colter, turn under the sedge grass and other green master, and let it remain so all winter. Tho grass will all be rotted by spring and tho action of the frosts and rains will pulverize tlie worst turf land, then byrobedding anil the use of a cutaway or some other improved harrow, you are ready for planting, and not be troubled with grass.

If these are all right, and overy dairy man knows what that means without a categorical statement, tlie next thing that demands attention is the caro of milk from the tune it is drawn and up through nil the processes of manufac ture. All elements of uncleanliness must bo carefully excluded from the milk and from all utensils of the dairy, not only because they are objectionable in themselves, but because they promote lormentr.Hm aud decay. Every point about tho dairy should be so constantly clean and well eared for that the owner would at ail times take pride in showing a customer around, and with tho ful confidence that an inspection would add to the good opinion formerly enter tamed. Not only are these products often of inferior quality, but at times they be come actually dangerous us articles of human food. The reason given for exorcising tliis extreme cleanliness is, that it is now known that all tho changes of decompo sition m tho milk from healthful ani mals, are due to the introduction into tho milk, after it is drawn from tlie cow, of low forms of lifo. These germs cause souring, make tho milk ropy, blue, etc. Milk drawn absolutely clean, into chemically clean vessels, unci then sealed, will remaim sweet indefinitely. THE STABLE. 1. This should ho warm, dry, well ventilated, well lighted, hut without dratts of cold air. Dryness, sunlight and tresh air aro ns necessary in a stable to maintain vigor of. cattle, as in a human habitation. Shutters with mov- ablo skte which wiH darken tho stable while still permitting tho circulation of mr, are very desirable for summer uso. 2. The stable should be kept scrupu lously clean, if first-class dairy products ai e desire, and abundance of straw or sawdust, or dried peat, and even of dry earth, may bo necessary to absorb all of the liquid excreta, tho effort being to nbsorb this at onco. 3. As disinfectants and purifiors of air in stables, a frequent use of white wash on tho walls and wood work, and of ground plaster, sprinkled over tho floors is neeesaary. By the frequent use of wluto wash and plaster wo may keep tho air of a stable sweet and pure. Tlie mangers should bo kept thoroughly clean. They should bo frequently washed out with strong salt and water otherwise mold will grow in them, espe cially in tho corners. This mold taken into tho stomach may produce inflftimna- tion of that organ, nml it is also npssilile that it may produce tho disease Known as lump jaw.— Independent. GOOD DAIRY MAXIMS. It is better to liavo a cow that will givo you 300 pounds of butter a year for fivo years and then die on your hands than to have one that will givo you 200 pounds a year for ten years and then make you 1,500 pounds of old cow beef.

Diversified crops, renovated lands, and a yield of our money crop within the demands of the world’s consumption,, Farm Miinui'tm, THF FARMER DEFRAUDS HIMSELF. The average farmer cleaves to tlie ideas of his ancestors and feeds out his winter supply alike to his mixed herd, equally surprised if tliis one gains or that one loses. He does not feed grain “because lie cannot afford to buy it,” and he will not raise it, because lie can buy it cheaper. His animals aro simply machines for converting crops into ferti lizers. Instead of keeping a few at a profit, lie keeps many at a loss. But whatever our calling in life, wo should always ho ready to lift a hand against this ruinous practice. With the means at our command, better things aro ex pected of us than simply to follow the footsteps of our fathers. Economy in feeding is tho great study of today, and if wo do not contribute our individual support to its solution, reproach will full our own heads. * * it * * Study to make manure—keep such a class ns farm animals as w-i best con vert all coarse fodder, with tlie least -I---—j s; ""'v " Lwoiuy yours amount of grain, into manure.
