LEITER FROM COL. It. II.; HARDAWAY. Tuom.vsvii.i.k, December 20, 1875. 1 CliHtor* Trlegraph anand The many fluttering notices given uin in your valuable; paper tiavo attract-: ed tiniifyial attention. Many of those ! articles have been copied by other papers, particularly the Savannah Morning Nrw.<. Tlk'hc articles have caused a very large nninber of your readers, and ; those of the Morning .Viaw, to write me, nsking my mode of preparing the land, manuring, planting and culti vating, etc. 1 am induced to write this communication in reply to these various letters, and if you think it worthy of a place in your columns j and will bo of any benefit to your: readers, you can publish it; if not, j turn it over to your wa tc basket. f will coitmioncc with oats. The first n i of November, I clean off! The laud *:i th.ll. the plow wii! J. handsome work, then scatter broad cast one hundred and‘fifty pounds of good fertilizer to the acr.i, ami then turn it over with a one-horse Watt pldw, plowing just deep enough as j not to turn up the clay, (four or five! inches deep) then harrow the ground well, then lay off the lands, and sow j the oats, putting in two and u half ti> > three bushels to the acre, then plow j in the oats with ft long throe inch! scooter and finish with another har-! rowing, and puts it in splendid con-1 dition. The oats take root deep! down in the soil, coum up quick, and j grow off finely, and are in condition ! to withstand the cold and freezes. When they get about one foot high, broadcast over them one hundred and j fifty pounds per aero, of the same for- i tilizer used when sowed. Any good • phosphate will do. Merry man V am- : moniated dissolved bones is excellent, \ lust year I used sea fowl guauo. With I this treatment, I have never made j less than sixty bushels lo the acre, j and as high as ninety-seven bushels j avorago crop. j After the oats are cut mid taken from the field, sow down two bushels of peas to the aero, broadcast, and plow them in with the oat stubbles. When the vines begin to have young peas, plow them under with a two liorso plow. The next spring this should be the cotton land. I would break up this land in January, with a oiie-liorso Watt plow, and fallow be hind in the same furrow with a sub soil plow. About tlindentli of March lay off the cotton raws, and put the manure in those rows and bed on them. I would make a compost of 30 bushels of green cotton seed, 1UI) lbs. best acid phosphate, JOO lbs. well rotted and pulverized stable manure and 50 lbs. common acid to Hie acre. Let the beds stand about ton days, to become composted, then plant the cotton. Before chopping out, run a steel scraper around the cotton; this will clean off any young grass that may be upon the beds, and will not go deeper than one inch, and leave the cotton in a beautiful condition for the hoe. Chop out to a stand the first hoeing with a number two lioe. From experiments made with va rious plows, at the first plowing after chopping out, 1 am satisfied a very narrow scooter, with a board nailed to tho stock to keep from covering the young cotton, will cause the cot ton to grow off more rapidly, from fhe fact that it leaves the ground fri able, so that heat and rain can pene trate to the roots. All after work should be done with a scoop, and very shallow, and should be plowed every two weeks until the branches will not be injured by the plow. Corn should always bo rotated after cotton. The land should bo broke up as soon as the picking is finished with a good turning plow, followed by the subsoiler in the same manner as de scribed for preparing the land for cot ton. This deep plowing lets tho wa ter into the clay, and will enable the corn to stand extremes of wet weath er and drought. In January lay off the rows six feet apart, and distribute ii these furrows three-fifths of tho cotton seed (or other manure) to be used. Let ibeso seed bo green, and bed upon it with two furrows. In February, run a furrow ono foot on each sido of the furrow containing tho cotton seed, and plant tho corn in these furrows, at such distauco as thought best. This gives doublo rows two foot apart, and four feot middles. Tho first plowing should be dono deeply, with a long narrow scooter plow. At tho second plowing, open a furrow ono foot from each sido of the corn, with a six-inch shov el plow, and put in these furrows the remaining two-fifths of well rotted cotton seed, and cover it with a sweep, thus completing tho working out of ' the middles. All after work should bo dono with the sweep. Tho nar ! row rows cannot be plowed but twice. 1 I use a cultivator, made for the pur pose, having four very narrow plows or teeth, and completing the work at one going through of the horse. The corn should have at least three plow ings and two hoeings. It seems difficult for many to fully understand the double-row plan of planting corn. 1 am not wedded to this plan. I have planted on this plan three years, simply because there is no other plan by which so many stalks can bo got upon an acre, and give as much distance in the middles for circulation of air. When land is highly manured, the greater numbe r of stalks put upon an acre, the great er will bo tho yield, and will be less li- ( able to fire. Fine crops of corn may be made by : planting in single rows. In 1872 1 made fifty-two bushels, average crop, per acre, and planted on tuo old sin gle-row plan. The corn was planted in five-foot rows, and the corn drop-: ed eighteen inches apart. But tho land was heavily fertilized with cotton seed. The green seed were put in j the ground in January, the corn: planted in February, and manured! with rotten cottonseed, at the second! 11 lowing. Manuring at the second j plowing makes the earing of the corn j certain, and heavin' corn does not exhaust the laud half so much, and j comes to the aid of the stalk, just at the time when it needs it most to make the grain. To sho e the bonefitof the intensive system, and good work, 1 give you a statement of ten coonseoutivo crops j made on my fifteen acre farm, com-; tnoncing with .

As well ex-! poet an infant to attain its growth by ! a fow mouths’ extra feeding. It re-j quires many years labor, porsevor- j auco and constant manuring. Messrs. Editors, it is now a known fact that the crops of corn and cot ton in Middle, Southwestern and South ern Georgia, are shorter than last year, fully one-third. Tho long, con tinuous bad weather fur cotton pick ing has damaged the quality of more than half the crop, and the average price received by the planter is not above nine cents. It cost twelve and a half cents to make the present crop, therefore the planter losses fully sev enteen dollars on every bale of his cotton. Supposing the State of Geor gia makes four hundred thousand bales of cotton; the loss to the plant ers of Georgia will be seven million dollars, and tho loss to Thomas county nearly two hundred thousand dollars. This state of things makes it im possible for planters to meet their en gagements with tho merchants, and in consequence of iliis failure of the planters, the merchants will not be able to aid them with supplies the coming year, us heretofore. If the planters fail to obtain supplies, what is to become of tho laborers depend ent upon them? Tno negroes, at present, have the most of their corn jon hand, and if they act wisely and don’t sell it, (as they generally do be : fore Christinas), it will subsist them I until early peas / and Irish potatoes QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY, JANUARY <>, 1870. como in, and by planting plentifully of these, it will carry them until swoot potatoes and corn como in. It there fore behooves those laborers to deny themselves promptly of any extrava gance of rations, and to begin to stint themselves, and by all moans to take great care of their corn and not sell anv part of it. A fuiluro to do this will canso them a vast amount of hunger and suffering. They lmvo heretofore trifled away their corn, and depended upon being supplied by their white employers. Tho coming year it will bo doing well if the plan ter can supply his stock and his own family, and will not bo able to provide i bread for the laborer. | To meet- this impending suffering, planters and laborers must look to ! the garden, and plant largely of early : pens, potatoes, turnips, onions, beans, i cabbage, early corn and sweet pota toes. Wo should lay aside at least two acres for early vegetables to meet ! the coming emergency, and to sell at Northern markets. Plant eueumbi rs, j potatoes, (Irish and sweet,) beans, 1 onions and melons. These will liml ! ready sale, and will bring in cash just ! at tho time when it is needed to pur chase bacon. At the same time it j will diversify the crop. • Sugar cane, should be planted largely, also sweet potatoes. Tho old system of plant ing large cotton crops must bo cn- 1 tirely abandoned, and must bo sub- ! stitilled with grain and stock raising, j Fortunately the oat crop was the largest ever raised in this county, and seed are abundant. Sow down all; the waste land for stock; graze them upon the green oats until sufficient time to run up and make seed. When : the oats are in a proper state to cut for feed, put in the slock to fatten up on them. Ground peas should come next as food, and then sweet potatoes. This, is tho safest, cash st, surest and cheap est method to raise hogs, and at the same time keeps them enclosed, halt- • dy to the call and less likely to b stolen. To succeed at hog raising j great care and labor must be given to it No business will thrive without this. The owner ought to call the! hogs himself dail}*, and count thorn, and know every hog, and when one is missing hunt it up without delay, j This calling and euro is generally! entrusted to negroes, and hero lies the cause of the failure to raise hogs. Many say they Can’t raise them. It ! can be done by every farmer wii.li . proper attention. The cause of the - failure is inattention and laziness. | Enough hogs to supply any ordinary ; family can be raised around the bom ■ from slops, refuse vegetables, butter-; milk, etc. There cun be no excuse j for failure. The same attention should lie giv cu to horses and cows. Jho old hea then plan of feeding in a largo trough ! in the middle of the lot, without shel ter, leaving the stock exposed to the rain and cold, is not only cruel treat- j ment, but a pozbavc loss of stock and a large amoti lof manure. Every ; farmer ought to provide shelter for J his horses and cows, and provide u j stall for each animal. Ono spadeful of manure saved under shelter is | worth more than ten times tho (plan- ! tit.v that has laiu out exposed to the j ruin and sun. Bosidos, the animals will keop in bettor condition, and on leas food when sheltered. Tho old doctrine that God made thorn with hair on tho sido for protection, and that it ia a sin to house them or fight j against tho law of nature, ia fast play-1 iug out, and the farmer who provides j the best food and shelter, always has j tho fattest, best animals, and the J most and best manure. We must not only raise stock and j manure, but we must raise grain and j provisions, as a surplus to supply tho j wants of tho towns and cities, and J the trades and craftsmen who labor j iu tho foundries, machine shops, ship | | yards, and factories. This class com- j prise nearly or quito ono-lialf of the ! population of tho world, and are do- j pendent upon Uio planter for food. • 1 Now when the planter ceases to raise • ; food and depends upon someone else j j to supply him, then the laws and gov- I urn supply and demand are violated I by the planter, and be is at the mercy ! of him that raises the supplies of life. Hence the speculator ia enabled to force up the price. But, says the planter, I am in debt, and if I don't raise cotton to pay my merchant he will be disappointed and sue me and ruin me. If you are in that condition you are ruined al ready, and simply delaying the sale of the sheriff, or anticipating shelter from the homestead act. Very re- j Gently I have had farmers to say to j me, “If you don’t, give mo fifteen cents for my cotton in payment of the ; bacon you sold me, I won’t pay you; j and if you sue me, I will take tho | homestead.” And theso men are j Grangeres! This is a sad commen tary on farming, and is a valuable les son to honest grangers and to mer- { chants. They failed to raise provis-! ions for their own use, begged the merchant, to supply them on credit and then refused to pay them; am! j to drive a bargain, threatened the merchant with the homestead act!: Yon had bettor raise your own hog! and hominy, ami thus avoid all this unpleasantness. Select your host land the coming year, and reduce the number of acres "to the horse. Concentrate your imt nuro on theso reduced acres. This will reduce the amount to pay for la bor, food, team and tools; and by strict personal attention, to business you will make as much or more than | you have been making by the unwise I plan of trying to make large crops on | poor lands with poor mules, worn out tools and lazy laborers; and it will not ruin you to food them with corn and bacon bought on credit. It is folly to plant forty aud fifty acres of poor laud to tho horse, at Hitch a groat outlay of money for labor, food, team and tools; when, by a wise and judicious selection of tho land aud proper manuring, tho same quantity of produco can bo raised oil one fourth of tho laud. Wliat is tho remedy for relief, in the embarrassed condition of the country? Planters must raise evory- I thing they eat, and to supply the non producers. To do this, they must : increase tho grain crups— plant lieav [ly of corn, oats, rve, wheat, ground pens, chufas, sweet potatoes and su ' gar cane, and largely increase their stock of hogs. If this is done, oot i ton will have a small showing. Un | dor no circumstances should more than ono-third of the crop bo of cot ton. This plan of planting may star tle your creditors, but it is the last and only hope of relief. Tho mer chant must sue and acknowledge it to be tho only and possible plan of per manent relief, aud acquiesce in it, and at once shape his affairs lo meet the emergency ami give time to recuper ate; and the planter should promptly offer the best and safest security to the merchant for this leniency and extension. This security will greatly benefit the merchant ; iu his negotia tions, and enable him to go on with his business. The aid must be mutu al. This will work a hardship on merchants, and possibly many will; have to go into bankruptcy. The ruinous policy of involving j themselves every year to supply plant ers with provisions to make large cot ton crops will surely cuiliu bankrupt cy. The postponement of it for a ■ short time will not alter the situation. It is a stern necessity; and if a ma jority of tho planters and merchants are bankrupted by it, it will prove the; best for the country iu tho end, and be the means of saving a very large number who will bo,drawn into the malestroom of ruin. If this plan is j adopted promptly, in two years plan , tors will be sellers of provisions as j well as cotton. And then they will have a sure and double income from which to pay their creditors. In the meantime, when it is known that such | It lui.) 1:11telO ill Ci'ltOli planting, it will enhance the value I of cotton in accordance with the de creased supply. This plan may cause ] much distress and ruin, but no refor mation lias ever been accomplished that did not entail hardships and suf fering upon tho laboring class. The Revolutionary war caused a vitst i amount of suffering to our forefath ers, hut it brought liberty and doliv- ; crauco to the country. Not only a plan of raising supplies j must be adopted, but the present sys- ] tern of farming must be changed to • meet tho change of circumstances, j We still keep lip the old system of j extensive planting as when wo owned j the labor. Since the abolition of sla-1 very, times aud couditions'have ehang-! ed, and these old habits and customs j must lo changed t> moot the times. The white man has always had to think and diroct for tho negro, and it cannot bo oxpanted that tho fow years of freedom aud schooling of tUo negro has qualified him to think nud act for tho benefit of his raoo without tho ad vice of timir l’ormor masters. And yet with their known ignorauco, we plant on shares with them, rout them our farms, and turn over to them the stock and tools to be mauagod by j their dictation and judgment. The j consequence is a failure in crops, j death to the mules, destruction of the j plantation tools, ruin to the fencing j and farm and bankruptcy to the own- j er. The. land is plowed into ditches ; and gullies, and turned out to grow i up in broom sedge and sapplings. Everything is in a statu of diiapi- j datiou and ruin, and wo continue to involve ourselves by buying mules, provision and tools to supply these improvident, ignorant managers. This cropping and renting system must be abaiidonod,- and we must take tho management of our own plantations 1. iqk into our own hands, aud must cm t down to hard work j and rigid economy. They must kuow | that he has to work out liis own sal-i vatiou and look to his own efforts for food and raiment, and the quicker ! he is thrown upon his own resources j to supply his wants, the bettor it will bo for him and the whites. We have as much ns wo can do to keep up the farms, stock and tools, and supply our own families and oducate our children, without the extra burden of taking care of tho negro. lie must learn to think, act aud supply him- ; self. At the same time, we must advise j him and give him employment aud j fair wages. \Yo are dependent one j upon tho other. He has tho labor \ aud mqsclo, and wo tho land and j capital; and wo must help each other, and in such a manner as to have ini- j pari.;,a justice to each; so that fair compensation will be had in labor and ] pay. Wo occupy the hiuiic land, and must live together, and should there-j fore, strive to live in peace and bar- j mouy, aud labor ft a 1 each other’s good- socially, morally, politically aud temporally. _ This is emphatically the white man’s country, aud it will not be surrender- i oil to the i. e.ie.

Not oik ! cent ought to ho expended for any la ! bor that can bo performed by our . selves, our sons, our daughters, or | wives. Our sons must put their hands |to tho plow, and our wives and daughters must come to our help. Those are the leakages that Hink our prosperity. It may seem a hardship because wo are not raised to it; but it will ovontually como to it, and it is best to begin now, and cheerfully. It is fur more honorable to toil new, and thereby save tho old family home stead, than to let tho sheriff sell it at public outcry. There is neither degradation or dis | grace in honest labor; on the contra ; ry, it is honorable, ennobling, t'in cinnattus was called from the plow to save Rome. Gen. "Washington, !

Dining at tho other’s table, tho latter was par ticularly requested to taste of a very choice wine which the host sent him, and give his opinion. The man of the taste 'sipped the wine from tho glass, sot it down and, resumed con versation with his next neighbor at tho board. The host, observing this, took the first opportunity ofohul.eug ing his guest for an opinion, with a sly look at some of his friends as if he was bound to show how falla cious were judgments in wino-tast-1 iuff- . j “Sav, my dear Beeswing, you don’t i tell me what you think of the wine 1 j sent you.” j Beeswing looked at tho glass j without raising it, aud quietly said,! “No,” “Well, now,” said the host, “I wish you would really givo mo vour hon est opinion of lUi w ; n „ ; Beeswing.” ! “Excuse me," said tho other, E- j precatingly, “I’d rather not.” By this time tho attention of the j whole tublo was directed to the din- j loguo. “But 1 insist,” urged the host; “for you have such a reputation for taste I want your opinion now, and on this wine.” "It will hardly bo courteous,” said Beeswing, “to give an honest opin ion of tiie '.vine while partaking of the hospitalities of the host.” “Certainly it will; out with it, j Beeswing; wo are all friends here. ; Spletidod article- eh ?”■ “Tho wiuo may bo good, but it is j watered.” “What!” said tho host, reddening | to the roots of his hair at this unex- j pected reply. “Watered. You're mistaken; taste it again.” “Yes, wa tered,” said Beeswing, taking anoth er sip anu’oottiug his glass upon the ] table. “AVell, now, look hero, Beeswing, my boy, for oueo in your life you are mistaken, for my father brought two casks of that ' lue aboard; it was un loaded opposite his warehouse on India wharf under his eye, and hoist ed up into a left over his ow n coun ting-room, where after a few niontW ripening he had a man to como a'.C'i bottle it up under his own supervis ion; ho then sent it up to liis own collar,which since his decease has como into my possession, and his wax seal on the bottle is that which is broken to-night. So acknowledge, my dear Beeswing, that you are mis taken about it’s being watered wine.” “Can’t acknowledge anything, of tho kind,” said the obstinate Bees wing, “for Imm inber your father’; importation of tho wiuo very well. Charley A'au ltlane, John Magnum and myself wore your father’s clerks at that time, and we bad ngood many surreptitious drinks out of those casks while tho liquor was ripening in the ’o t, and always took care whenever wo drew out anv, to turn buck the same quantity if water, so that the measure might not fall short.
