A* .. V ■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 Jrjaia aiscs the greatest numberoJbales^ird largest number to the lined. Mr. A.. 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 big places,” and made .'1000 bogs— “eleven hags to the full hand”—A. von bags to the full hand' and 11. sink into comparative imignif- Savannah Advertisements.

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 Is with the* world.
