His idea is to encourage the colonization of emigration of negroes capable employing the natives and helping to civilize them ” harm, .... would, perhaps, be beat not to incur the risk. Any disturbance of the roots just now, particularly if the plowing should be followed by even a temporary drought, causes loss of fruit, and while such plowing may cause tho plant to take on a new growth and develop now fruit, it is better to persne a system of Cultivation which will retain, and de- elop, in the shortest time possible, the lit already on the plant, than to risk tying a later if, perhaps, fuller crop, hptf the'fruiting has been delayed by Jarorablo weather or inability on tho rt of the^ariner to give the necessary ltivation at the proper time, thus .. owing weeds and grass to spring up and struggle for supremacy, a blow should be passed ‘ over . tho- land s jould be passed jlghtly as possible, but in such a man ner as to kill out this foreign growth.

An Should study his crops, his needs of each, and sovznannge ,. ring as .to develop the best cle- IS of both, and get the greatest good from the smallest outlay. The main work in the crops having been nearly completed, we how have an Cpportnnity of beginning tho' repairs on outbuildings and fences, so ncccssarv to the appearance of the farm, as well 08 the absolute comfort of farm life. Neftt, trim, well kept buildings, gar dens and fences are an advertisement for any neighborhood. They give an ftir of thrift and prosperity that noth ing olid will. Let us resolve that, Come wnat taay, we will return to legitimate farm methods, raise our home supplies, beautify our homes and enjoy the prosperity which will once again be ours. To begin, let uS arrange to raise our own HOGS. This we cannot do by purchasing a few wellbred sows and tnrning them into some old fields, which, on account of its convenience to stable and barn, has been kept fenced and called a pasture. Prepare for pasturing by enclosing some land, and this fall seed it to clover. Nothing so improves your land, and v.o finer food for farm animals cau be pro duced. Then sow on the same land with the clover your small grain, to come on in the spring, which being cut off, leaves the clover ne a foundation for your venture in meat raising. Be cause a hog is a hog, don’t decide that hit treatment should be hoggish. Give him uniform good attention, shelter from the weather, regular food and ffater aud keep him free from vermin. Nothing so contributes to tho destruc tive 4isea*es to which the. hog is sub ject, as filth, insufficient and irregular food and undestroyed swarms of ver- 10in. These points cannot be guarded too carefully.

IRISH POTATOES. _ Over a large portion of the state the successful gardener will bo saving his hinting of’ Irish potatoes, aud , it will not l»e amts to call his attention to tho fact that with moder ately favorable weather, he has it in his power' to make another fair crop. Proparo your old bed thoroughly; if It has been mulched, so much . for the second crop. For seed, select the medium size potatoes from the first crop, dry thorn in tho shade for a few days, and then replant tho bed, just as iu the_ spring, except that instead of cutting" the potato, tho whole tuber is planted. Coyer with the plow, and mulch heavily. With rains, the crop will bo fine. Of course a drought will ent off the yield, but .even under unfavorable conditions, tho crop will generally be a* good one. You can leave thorn in the ground all winter, digging as you need them, only being careful to keep them heavily mulched, and your table .will bo supplied with fresh and mo§t delicious potatoes. They romait and it least injury. Try the TURNIPS. Prepare your beds now for ruta bagas. A mellow, highly fertilized soil is essential to the successful growth of root- crops. Thoroughly dotted sta ble manure and phosphates are good. Later, sow tlio other varieties. If the bugs and insects are troublesome, try Pyretlieuhi powders. LATE CABBAGES. Get your bed prepared fur the plants, which should now bo ready to set out. Lay off tho rows three feet' apart, open a deop furrow and fill about half full of well rotted stablo manure; or, if gu- used, put in a liberal quantity hen ITiey are matured turn them un- et: if in tlio fall or spring, sow small raiu yvith clover. Building up our in<?s gradually but permanently should e our aim, and it is only by the appli cation of tl;o home made manures, sup plemented with phosphates, on which clover, peas aud rye are sown, that we can reasonably hope for success. Ap plying a few hundred pounds of highly available, prepared fertilizer, directly under tho plants, which food is often exhausted before the plants attain ma turity, can, in tio sense, be said to re store fertility or permanently improve our lands, we can’t continue to take a small amount from a given quantity of anything tor an indefinite period, and expect to retain tho original quantity. And yet this is just what we are doing With our lands.

We must wake up to th? important facts that more food crops of all kinds are needed ou the majority of Georgia farms. As our scasous afford ns every opportunity for making ample food supplies, why should we continue tho old mistaken policy? PLANTING PEAS. Wo would again urge tho importance tf sowing peas A3 $ renovfltof and to in sure an uniple forage supply. In the lower part of the state tills has been done to a great extent, but in northofn Georgia, where the grain crops have just been harvested, now is tho tim& to plow iu tlio peas ou tlio stubble, afid in laying by tho.corfi to sow them, feithir broadcast or in the drill, according t2> the quality of the land and distance of the corn. MANURING. One of the least understood, and yet one of tho most important items ing our farm economy is then. . and saving of every element found or lirought on the farm which can be con verted int6 plant food. There has been so little apparent interest in this ques tion, find so little attention paid to it that it wilt require time aud a thorough diScfiSsioii beforo we can appreciate its gVave import. Under present condi tions, tnoueanus of pounds of the most valuable materials nre allowed to go to waste each year for the lack of that care and knowledge so necessary to pre serve, uninjured, the different elements of plant food. Most farmers consider these matters too small to require much thought or attention, but it lithe neg lect of those small leaks ou the farm which causes heavy outlays of time and money, when the farmer can ill afford to pay either. For instance, how many farmers who read this article realize that the elements pf fertility urine of stock contain just as much r iant food as the most solid excremcn? mention this because, on most farms, there is absolutc-ly no provision male for absorbing and holding these valua ble materials. We cannot adequately calculate the waste on this one item. Again, many farmers who keep their stables well supplied with absorbents, in the way of leaves or straw, together with dry dirt, muck or land plaster, yet lose much in the process of fermenta tion—tho ammonia being allowed to os- cape—and tho materials which they have collected at considerable outlay of time and labor, become valueless, ex cept as a mulch on worn land, or to be plowed under to prevont the land from running together. A little rnoro atten tion just see that tho pile was kept moist and hot allowed to decompose too rapidly would have insured a fine supply of perfect plant food. On the other hard, too much moisture delays this process of fermentation, which wo have been try ing to advance. Another important consideration in making manure is the quality and character, as well as the quan food supplied to the animals, richest manures will bo furnished by stich highly concentrated food as cotton iqeq mear and linseed meal, Noxt come peas, beans and clover; then the E ains, and lastly the roots. One fact patent, that is that there can be no >re fertilizing materials in the oxcre- ments than wore preseut in the food. Therefore from poor food we can only .expect a poor qnqJity of manure, Tha urine contains.iuost of the nitrogen and dearly all the potash. How important, th«m, to preserve its elements, aud see that they go back on our lands. Another source from which a good supply of ■ best fertili*1 tig materia! can ho x*eallzed is-the trash pun. into which all the waste from the hor.-o and yard should be thrown—Hile vea- fr«>m the yard, fbe slop? from tho Uopse,.niiytbing that yrill contribute jo swell the final result — 1 4 * 8 surprising how much can Ik ithered in tills way, But. to be suc- ul in this, as itt uve. y hlng else, ires daily raro and attention.
