■farm anil fjoiiscljolb. Somebody has been at the trouble ; of condensing a great deal of infor mation about wheat growing, as fol lows, into very small compass, and somebody else has set it afloat with out giving credit to the author; 1. The soil for wheat is a rich clay loam. 2. Wheat likes a good, deep, soft bed. 3. Clover turned under makes just such ajsed. 4. The best seed is heavy, oily, plumb and clean. 5. About two inches is the best depth for sowing the seed. 6. The drill puts in the seed better and cheaper than broadcasting. 7. From the middle of September to the last of October is the best time for sowing. 8. Drilled, one bushel of seed per acre: If sown broadcast two bush els. 9. One heavy rolling after sowing does much good. 10. For flour, cut when the grain begins to harden; for seed not until it has hardened. A gentleman from the country told the writer a few days since that he did not succeed in fruit raising. Upon investigating the matter, the reason of the failure was very evident, for our friend had set out an orchard and then suffered the frees to fake care of themselves. Young trees were lorn and twisted, others were permitted to grow up guarded, and would bear- only inferior fruit. There is no reason why the farmer should not have good fruit if only as good care be taken of the trees as is given the corn crop. Or chards require, more care and atten tion now than they once did. They are subject to more contingencies than formerly. So are all other crops. The spread of insect enemies and fun gi must be combatted. The farmer has done this with his field crops, and the fruit grower should do the same with his orchards. If he will culti vate his trees as carefully as the farm er does his crops, he will succeed. Sot out a good orchard, take care of it, and it will pay.—Constitution. Farmers should carefully study the wants of their land. One thing they do, and that is that every crop taken from the ground diminishes its fertil ity, and he then should try and find out with what his fields should be ma nured to yield the largest return at the least expense, and at (lie same time to leave the land in an improved condition. We advise farmers, as above remarked, to study their lands and see what they want. They will discover that plants requiring ammo nia, phosphoric acid, and potash, do well on what they themselves con tain. They will find that plants ab sorb just as much nourishment as they require for their development, and leave the remainder of the strength in the soil for their successors. Fer tilizers should be chosen according to their suitability to each particular kind of soil. We have a letter from a Walton county farmer asking about the legis lature ; the impeachment court ; how much cotton will bo made ; and a rem edy for the hard times; and how to manage ? We say to him, go to work. Geor gia to-day is growing too many dead heads to the acre, that arc to become dead weights to her. The remedy for hard times with you is to give up your careless farming and your shiftless management. Make your skies bright by improving your system of farming, by cultivating your fields more thor oughly, draw in your fields, avoid all new indebtedness, and gain wisdom from past experience, and you will reap rich harvests and aid in over coming hard times.—Constitution. ►♦ ♦ The Hural Work --ays. it is not good luck that makes good crops, but it is good work. Some farmers always have good crops, good stock, and get good prices. It is because whatever they put their hands to, they do well. They have clean fields, good fences and do good plowing, cultivating and seeding. They farm with brains as well as hands. If other farmers would imitate their example, they would have better crops. Success does not depend so mudvupon good luck as it does upon good work. Additions should be made to the manure pile on every possible occa sion. The amount of fertilizing ma terial regulates the farmer's prosper ity- If the farmer will bring all his skill, intelligence and industry into the work his vocation is a safe and sure one. Charcoal is good for fowls, ami ven tilation is necessary for their health. FOB TIE Fill HIDE! J. I.
