■Who is a Good Farmer.
- w TTido differences of opinion exist
upon tho question which heads this ar
ticle. In the estimation of ^majority
of meu, however, he is considered the
best larnicr who farms the most land,
raises the biggest crops, works the
greatest number of hands, runs the
liloat plows, etc. * In our cotton-raising
country he is beyond all doubt the
host* fanucr in popular esteem

Who, with a self-satisfied look, tells
l you, “I made 1000 bags last year with
a hundred hands—ten bags to the
hand”—is set down at once as a “fine
farmer.” Mr. 11., who made 1.100
bags with 90 hands, throws A. into
the shade, and is universally spoken
©f as a “splendid farmer;” blit Messrs.
C. & D. come along who “tun eight

“eleven hags to the full hand”—A.

E COLLEGIATE YEAH of this Institution I* divided into two equal Terms of twenty wee
* — in September, and the M«ond on tl
ich—the flrte beginning on the Firat ITnboduf im
icanee, and the praises of C & J>
“the most successful planters in the
South”—“the biggest planters out”—
on every tongue, wherever their fame
lias reached.
Nobody ur>ks whether the “line far
mer,” the “splendid larmer,” or the
“biggest planter out.” have improved
their lauds by draining,'ditching, sub-
soiling and manuring; whether they
have ascertained the character and
dements of their Ian ?, and cropped
and manured them with reference to
their capacity and requirements;—
whether they have raised there own
provisions, made their manure, kept
accurate accounts of his farming oper
ations, and have a practical knowl
edge of the science of farming. All
that is asked is, how many bags have
they i nis, d? There plantation may he
spotted all over with cld fields, worn
and torn to harronness; their fields
may he seemed with yawning gullies;
their houses, harm- and stables may
boas tumbled down and yawning ns
I Missible, without a flower or a vegeta
ble in the garden, and all the appli
ances of the farm may he as rude and
unsightly as can he imagined. The
nig c,**»oa emps blot out all other
transgressions.
Tins is all wrong. The good farmer
is In; who inises big crops, and, at the
same time, improves his laud; whoun-
understnmU his lousiness, attends to
it, and docs it; whose slock are of the
best, and in the best condition; whose
fences arc always in good repair;
whose firm buildings are commodious
and neat; whose dwelling has the ap
pearance oi the home of civilized peo
ple; whose manure heap is Very large
ami increasing: whose corn-crib and
smoke-house arc ever full of corn and
meat raised by himself; who is aur-
r. umled by ill the necessaries and
comforts oflile; who studies his pro
fession, and strives to reach the per
fection of farming ccc nomy, and knows
at the end oft lu; year exactly what he
lias made, what lie. has expended, and
