phrvtinpr.
Ib m H. M04.r0, u, Southern Farmers'
‘ k Monthly.]
lu r e ,r ,some time been making
comparisons between tho profits of
farming an.l cotton-planting, and I will
give niy ideas to your readers, hoping
that they may look this thing squarely
in the face, and may induce some of them
ty cnange from all cotton to at least
mixed farming and planting. For years
tile South has been told that it i* suicid
al to. plant cotton to purchase corn,
meat, mules, horses and other things
needed by the planter, but all to nause ;
for each year the idea has been enter
tained by every one that every one else,
save himself, would quit raising cotton,
and that the price would be large and
ne would get rich, and last year the
price was remunerative, and alf went in
for the last acre that could lx? cultiva“
ted, and ruin followed. And, so far as
the general prosperity of the country is
concerned, it makes no difference wheth
er the price of cotton is eight cents or
twenty cents. As every dollar goes up
North to pay for what we buv. Tins
course will bring ruin and poverty as
sure as time runs.
The sun does not shine upon a land
nor never will, that became a prosper
ous country that depended entirely on
the plow and the hoe to make money
Farming, even at best, pays but poor
wages, and the fact that the farmer
raises some stock and his own food is
his-only chance for making money. In
making the comparison between corn
and cotton, I shall take the river bot
tom of the Mississippi valley, and sup
pose the comparison will hold good in
other sections, and will take low mid
dling cotton as a sample, as that is the
quality we make. A good crop for a
£ood man that will put in his time well
is eight bales, or 4,000 pounds, lint cot
ton (the average is less than 8,000, but
I will take the largest crop). Low mid
dling is worth now in New Orleans nine
mid one-fourth, which is eight cents net.
hour thousand pounds of cotton at eight
cents will be $320. Now the same la
. r tl \ a j squired to cultivate and
2“ A OOO I M)un(l8 of cotton will
make 2,000 bushels of corn, worth now
m New Orleans sixty-three cents per
bushel by the car-load. Thii corn can
be taken to New Orleans and put in the
elevator by barges for six cents per
bushel, and seven cents will more than
cover the cost of shelling and selling,
leaving a uet profit of fifty cents per
SFS®. 1 * °/ &>OO, making a difference of
*l3O in favor of the corn. Now, if peas
were planted in the corn at the last
plowing they would fatten one hog
to each acre, making at least $5 per
acre. - But I am aware that some plant
ers will say (hat they rent their land
and can get more net money per acre
with cotton than with corn. If they
wdl make a fair calculation of the cost
oi each and charge up to cotton the
Avaste of the negro and give the corn
credit tor the improvement in the land,
then they will find that the corn pays
double the rent that cotton does.
In mv vicinity planters are paying
$1 per bushel for corn on a credit, pay
able out of the next fall crop. If cot
ton should sell for seven cents net, it
will require 142-7 pounds of cotton to
pay for one bushel of corn. If a man
can exchange his 2,000 bushels of corn
for cotton at these figures, he will get
14,570 pounds of cotton for his crop g 0 f
corn, or about thirty-six bales of cotton;
in other words, we send thirty-six bales
ot cotton up North to pay for the corn
that one man can make. 1s there any
wonder that we are as poor as a church
mouse, and Hill Arp is about right w r hen
he says, ‘T am afeered we are a nation
of fools."
There has long leen an impression up
North, and even in the South, that we
can’t raforStock to profit—that we have
no grass—can’t feed stock—that the flies
are too bad—that we have too many di
seases ; while the fact is, we have more
and better grasses than the North has.
\\ e can raise hogs, cattle, sheep, mules
and horses for one-half the cost that it
requires up North. And to fatten the
stock for market, it can be done with
peas even on the poor land of Georgia
tor less meney than it can be done iii the
North, and while we are raising stoyk
we are improving our lands instead of
wearing them out.
I am well aware there is a strange fas*
eination in planting cotton We see in
the spring that S4O a bale, and ten bales
of cotton to the hand, but from some
cause wo can’t see the expense attending
the making of the crop.
A few days since I saw an article in
an lowa paper telling of the sale of
seventy-five hogs by one man, all of his
own raising and fattening, for SOB 7, or
about three times as much as can be
made by one man cultivating cotton. I
see also an item in the New Orleaus
Times of a planter who fatiened GOO
head of hogs, making 00,000 pounds of
pork, which he sold for $4,500, nearly
the whole of which was net profit. Had
be made this into bacon, it would be
worth now SO,OOO, which is a nice in*
come.
Brother planters, there is an easier
and better way to make money than by
planting cotton to buy meat aud bread.
A Mb. Pebkixs, of England, has de
signed an ocean steamship which, he
says, on a consumption erf fifty tons of
coal a day of twenty-four hours, will
cross from Queenstown to New York in
four days, and on occasion can make
forty miles an hour. The suggested
steamer has twin screws forward and
aft, the bow screws pulling and the stern
ones going ahead.
One day the secret agent of the British
Government stepped up to Bob Toombs,
who was Jeff. Davis’ Secretary of State,
and said : Mr. Secretary, where will I
find the State Department?” “In my

brevity and troth, “ and the archives in

The Man With ajsft Place,
Not a .soft place in bis head, necessar
ily, nor even in bis lmt a soft
place in the world into which lie falls
into the cream. The kind of a man of
whom it is particularly true that it is
better to be born lucky than rich. Such
a man comes into the world with an en
dowment as serviceable as a soldier in
heritance. He is not brilliant. He is
not a steady plodder. He is generally
lazy. Were it not for his one talent he
would be a loafer and ne’er-to-do-well.
Shiftless, he would be left to shift for
himself—a burden to his friends, and
liable to become so to society in geueral.
But, with all his defects, he has an in
describable capacity for not only’deriving
a support from friends and society, but
for being promoted and highly consid
ered. This trait is not good nature,
although he may be good-natured. It
is not a capacity for good fellowship;
indeed he may not be capable of decided
friendship. This is simply a positive
and profound conviction on the part of
the lucky fellow, that he came into this
world for the expVess purpose of being
taken care of. Many, no doubt, are
born with similar feelings and hopes,
but of a weak and watery solution. They
lack that absolute ami unquestioning
faith in their destiny, of which the gen
uine pensioner upon the geueral bounty
.s never destitute. He asserts his birth
right with tenacious and indisputable
iuthority, and no one even thinks of
opposing or refusing him.
His laying of hands upon what he
thinks belongs to him is not done rudely
ur boisterously. If it were, it would be
the end of him. There would then be
something hard and tangible to resist.
His quiet taking of what he deems his
own, conquers his place for him. His
peace, comfort and welfare seem to be a
part of the order of nature, and would
as soon think of denying or preventing
the soil from absorbing the rain, as to
forbid his soaking up all the prosperity'
comiug within range of him which he
can possibly hold.
Even in early life, his right to disre
gard the family ordinances is silently
and naturally conceded. On slight pre
text he is allowed to sleep late, to stay
home from school and church. No one
is surprised at his unrebuked raids upon
the pantry, at his lounging about when
others help with the household duties,
at his slipping off for a holiday, a fish
ing excursion, or a picnic, when the
others go to counter or to conn ting-room.
Patient and persistent work, application
and perseverance slide off from his daily
purposes like water from a duck’s baok.
For him these virtues are quite superflu
ous. He obtains all that these bring,
without exercising them. A native of the
tropics might as soon toil and sweat all
day to raise the bananas and the bread
fruit, which if he will but lie on his
back while they ripen, will drop into
his month.
Hi3 brothers grow rich only to give
him a chance, with little or no labor, to
reap a by-no-means-small measure of the
family harvest. On his chair there is
always a soft cushion; his bed is invar
iably spread upon the newest and latest
patent springs. When he falls out of a
situation there seems to be a divinely ap
pointed person ready to catch him, and
give him a more comfortable and lux
urious place than the one from which lie
tumbled.
There is a delightful mystery about
such men’s success. It is impossible to
account for it in accordance with the
supposed law’s which control labor,
wages, supply, demand, and the whole
system of political economy that insists
that no man can get something for noth
ing. Y efc these men do apparently get
a good deal for nothing.

A simple trap for moles consists pf a,
glass or stoneware jar sunk into the
ground under the mole-runs. The moles,
while running along, fall into the jar,
and the vertical slippery sides of the jar
prevent their getting out again. Field
mice are also frequently caught in these
traps, which leads to the suspicion that
they are the authors of much of the mis
chief attributed to liiqles, whose burrows
form convenient avenues for the intru
ders.

Spotted Tail, the famous Sioux chief
who was recently killed by Crow Dog,
was known aDd respected as a “ good
Indian ” and the white man’s friend. In
thi<i respect he was unlike the murderous
Sitting Bull, now in the custody of the
military authorities in Dakota, who is
essentially a “ bad Indian ” and hates
the white man.

Paper Making.
The most ancient form of paper kfiown
was made from the papyrus seed. The
inner cuticle of the stalk was separated
into thin layers by a sharp point the
slips laid side by side aud covered by
another layer placed at right angles,
made to adhere by pressure and then
dried. The sheets were afterward beaten
smooth with a mallet and polished with a
piece of shell or ivory*. Parchment aud
vellum—dressed skins—began to be used
in place of papvrus in the seventh cen
tury, and shortly after the art of making
paper from vegetable fibre was introduced
into Europe from China. It was rhade
from cotton. The Spaniards appear to
be the first to use mgs for its manufac
ture, and the oldest specimen of linen '
paper having a date is a treaty between*
the kingg of Aragon and Castile in 1177.
Germans attempted the use of straw
in 17. G. Paper has been made of many
different substances—potato vines, grass,
bark, oakum, silk, tobacco, thistles, wil
low, cork, corn-stalks, basswood aud ban
tam being only a small part of the list.
The first paper-mill in America was es
tablished in IG9O, near Philadelphia.

Women !n French Medical Colleges.
Only tw’elve women have received
medical diplomas in Paris. Among these
is an American lady named Pittman.
She and an Italian lady named Rosetti
and a Russian named Goutoclinron are
well known in Parisian medical practice.
Not more than three of the female phy
sicians now practicing in Paris are of
French nationality; but one of these,
w’ho began to study after she had become
ft widow’, and while burdened with two
children, has attained distinction, and is
a regular medical attendant at the Chute
let Theater. The number of female
medical students now studying is focty
two, of whom three are American, eigh
teen English, eleven French, and ten
Russian. The length and expensivehess
of a course of medical study in -the
French Capital keep the number of-fe
male students small. Such a course
lasts seven or eight years, and costs not
far from SI.DOO.

These familiar words recall to the farmer
and others interested, the unfortunate neces
sity of sometimes getting rid of Stock that
is not otherwise salable on account of blem
ishes or imperfections. To improve upop
this method, by showing how to restore your
Stock to first-class condition, is the plan
herewith presented. The signal benefit of
tlie Great German Remedy to mankind very
reasonably induced its application to the
sufferings and ailments of the dumb erea-l
tion. beginning with the Horse. People who
tried it were more than surprised by its re
sults, as attested in the speedy and pesum
nent cure of their Stock, anil they gladly
announced their experience by word ot
mouth and bj’ the public press, until to-day
Farmers and Dealers, Stockmen and
Breeders, the country over, are using St.
Jacobs Oil with delight, satisfaction and
profit. The _ others who
mistake of lose their
thinking that gs: •Stock by a
anything is \ miserable ef
good enough fort at econ
for a Horse omy. There
is made by are others
who humanely regard the welfare of their
faithful dumb creatures, and provide for
their comfort with good food and shelter,
and for their health by a constant supr'.y
of St. Jacobs Oil,— the safest and speediest
relief for Diseases of Horses and Stock ever
discovered. Whenever there appears any
evidence whatsoever of disease or injury
among Animals, they should have tbe best
possible treatment, as it never pays 4o de
fer attention to Stock. Inasmuch, then, a> it
is the part of common prudence to use the
surest curative means in the beginning,
every stable. Farm and stock-yard should
be abundantly supplied with St. Jacobs
Oil. which is used and recommended by
the best Horsemen in the country as an ar
i tide which will relieve more promptly and
certainly the ailments of ami Injuries to
; Stock than any other remedy known. For
