Editors Southern Cultivator :—
Despite the prejudices of those who ao-
nov their neighbors with screeching
wooden mills, lam convinced there is
no crop more lucrative at present, than
the Sorghum crop. Since 1862, I have
planted it largely, making some years
as much as 2000 gallons, and I have
never found it a drug. If it cannot at
all times command cash, it can be bar
tered for everything, from a yard of
silk to a dozen eggs.
For the past two years Sorghum and
Impliee, an equal area of each, have
monopolized one-third of my planted
land. Succeeding cane with cane, I
have begun by reversing the beds,
opening a furrow on the bed, drilling
the seed heavily enough to secure an
abundant stand, and covering with a
harrow. On stubble or cotton land, I
plant in Zh or 4 feet beds.
When up about three inches, the
cane is chopped through with the hoe,
leaving from 2 to G stalks in a bunch,
which are thined out to a single stalk
by hand, at the first rain thereafter,
when too wet to plough or hoe else
where. At six inches high, an “out
and out” ploughing is given with
scooters. At knee high, the hoe
hands hurry over it and pull oil' all
suckers. At waist high, another “out
and out” plowing with twisters or
shove) plows, and when showing the
tassel, four furrows with a twelve in^h
sweep, to “layby.” When the seed
• appear ripe in color, I strip t he fodder,
carefully laying each handful on the
bed of every other row. From 24 to
48 hours after, (depending on the
weather ) these “band ties” are bun
dled and thrown to every fifth row.
Enough bundles are then collected to
make a band-stack—say G feet across
the base and 4 feet high. These stacks
are put up in the evening and opened
next morning to the sun, and treated
thus for two or three days, until the
fodder is thoroughly cured, and then
hauled to the barn. I esteem it more
highly for all kinds of stock than I do
even fodder, when thoroughly cured. It
requires patient labor to cure it prop
erly, and unless so cured, is value
less.
The cane is topped as rapidly as the
wooden axle through the centre of the
heads, with a handle at one eud, for
turning the barrel like a grind-stone.
It is then mounted on two posts or
forks driven in the ground, so as to
support the machine about two feet
above the earth. Now to operate.
Put iu two bushels of cottou seed and
a bucket of water—roll the machine
slowly a few minutes, or until the
seed or thoroughly wet. Next, intro
duce twelve lbs. (or even more, if de
sired) of sifted Peruvian Guano, Land
Plaster, or Dry Ashes, and after a few
more-revolutions, the machine may be
emptied, by turning the barrel until
the hole is underneath. The seed will
be found perfectly separated, and as
thoroughly rolled as could he done in
the usual way in one hour.
YouDg men read, practice and quali

your fathers did, but where they they

GEN. JOHN B. GORDON.
In our last issue our readers were
advised, and the telegraphic wires con
veyed the intelligence to every city in
our State, that the distinguished Geor
gian—distinguished alike for his fideli
ty to his suffering and oppressed peo
ple, as for his virtues, gallantry, and
ability—whose name heads this arti
cle and floats at the mast-head of these
colum8, had been put in nomination as
the candidate of the anti-radical, anti
destructive, anti-negro party of Geor
gia for Governor at the approaching
election. The occasion upon which
this nomination was made; the circum
stances that brought it about; the man
ner in which it was received by the
largest and most enthusiastic audience
that lias ever assembled in this city;
the modest, yet patriotic acquiescence
tural is the very thing to do it.

What is book-farming? It does not
mean to take a hook in your hand and
go to the field, hut it means you should

and store it away in your head. But
be sure to master the subject, and

Before Gen. Gordon received and ac

doing so under military construction
of the reconstruction enactments of
Congress, and we know the decision is
correct, that he is eligible to the office
should he be elected. Neither tricks,
nor contrivances, nor stratagems, with
the hope of obtaining spoils, will avail
the enemies of Georgia and her pros

Governor. The die is cast; we may

duty, our whole duty, at the polls,
the contest for Governor is over. Gor

in which the nomination, on Saturday

That land thus treated is heavily

a cotton field in November; and the
blades, seed and stalks have all been

the land should be deeply plowed and

You should have some knowledge of

This is no small item in a life-time
business.
IIow is all this to be acquired? By
reading and hard study, and making an
application of the knowledge acquired.
Knowledge is pow*er, in agriculture as
'.veil as other tilings; and how are you
to get Knowledge? Only by reading,
study and application. With knowledge
you can use the hand as w*ell as-the
tongue, more effectively.
You must learn the use of tools. A
man that has a perfect use of tools, can
do double the work one can, who
knows nothing about their use. Rail
roads and steamboats have brought
men together, and have furnished a
partial remedy for want of books.
Messrs. Editors can you tell what
the farmer is now gaining by the use
of manures, aud by the knowledge re
ceived through agricultural papers? Or
can you tell what is lost to Georgia

deafening when, at the close, Col.

gallant Gordon, and earnestly appeal

polls on the 20th of April next.

“Young Men’s Democratic Club,” that
gallant gentleman, Col. E. F. Hoge,

dignity and elegance. As an evidence
of the noble work this active band of
young men are doing, we will remark

that the reputation of Georgia will
never be degraded in his hands.
“General Gordon’s election, too, is
certain. He has already a party, young,
