Farmer ’s Column.
The Fa
m» m, Cm
aercial
The farmer was originally a tiller of the
soil only, and he was allowed a bare living.
It was of trifling consequence to him
whether the surplus on the land he culti
rated was sold for much or little. That
sarins belonged to the owner of the land.
The conditions are all changed now, espec
ially in this country, and the farmer is in
aeertaiu commercial sense like the man
■facturer. He must study the law of
■apply and demand. He most study a
god® deal of political economy. If be has
any surplus to sell he must keep himself
posted as to the best market. The man
ufacturer is forced to avail himself of the
moat improved, machinery and of all the
conditions which will eoable binvto sell at
a profit whatever he makes. It is this
eotfdithn ia business that has caused the
wide support which manufacturers give to
reliable publications in their behalf. The
farmer's condition has been also greatly
improved by the numerous agricultural
publications in this country.
Caktmg MaifiKK,—If you have no se
cure stall or shelter to keep the well-trod
and rotted compost oat of the rain, where
it will teach and the best part be carried
off down the gullies to the branch or creek,
rake np as often as you have a good lot ia
piles and cart it of to the field, dumping it
where it is to be used. Here the land
needing it will get the leaching, and you
can haul at convenient intervals.
Good Water.—Every farmer should
consider that good water is as important
to the health of his stock as it is to him
self and family. What is the use to sling
gle for gain in one direction’and throw it
all away in another T One of the very first
things to do on the farm is to provide an
abundarce of good water convenient for
all purposes.
Fall Era.—Sown in the fall rye will
come off in the spring, and while still green
will be good food for mules and cows in
case of scarcity of forage, while the cows
and calves may graze upon it all winter to
great advantage.
Grooving Horses.—One of the very
best reasons for the inferior shabby look
of so many farm horses is that the average
farm horse is not half groomed. .Man
diseases spring from this np Pjkff^nriil
many a fajfljj^has^t^jffl^^ebLor strain
to buy another horse to re
place the one he lost through pare care
lessness or willful neglect.
Peach Sekds.—To be planted in the
early spring should be prepared for ger
mination during the winter. A box of
damp sand will put them in the right con
dition. Mix them in the sand to remain
until plauting time. Then crack such as
have not already split epen, and p/ant
without delay. When the seeds aro dry
and hard from curing in the air germina
tion is very slow or altogether prevented.
Try to Improve.—Don't plod in the
same old wry, in the same old track all
your life. Wake up ! Look around—ex
amine the thing well and see if you cannot
improve it in some way—if you cannot
shorten the loDg way—staioghten the
croked road—lessen the weight of the
burden and still have things better. Yon
can do a great deal more than you think—
try it for your own sake.
Sweet Potato Vines.—These are now
cut and put up in banks like the potato,
and thua preserved green for planting next
on Old vines root quicker than the
a much larger exteat of storage room
than the light draught of the boat
would lead one to expect. The caulk
ing of the seams are as perfect as can
be, not the least dampness being ob
servable from stem to stem. Parties
well posted in marine architecture de
clare that this is the finest boat ever
built on the Chattahocbee far the money
and will bear the most favorable com
parison with boats of the same tonnage
or carrryiog capacity built in Piuebuig
or elsewhere. It seems a wonder to ns
why steamboat companies will go to
such distance as Pittsburgh to saTe
perhaps one or two thousand dollars
which they more than lose by expenses
borne in taking her from port to port,
not to speak of the straining she un
doubtedly receives from the motion of
the sea and which we have no doubt is
equal to more than three years legiti
mate wear and tear on the river. A
tight little craft she will be when finish
ed, but we opine there will be no dan
ger of her having aDy one tight »n
board from the simple fact that none
of the berths bare been prepared to
