, n T# * ’Of#•—Farmlnjjc yh. Cotton 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 hat, sir,” replied Toombs, with lacouio brevity and troth, “ and the archives in my coat pocket, ** - The following verdict was giveu by a coroner's jUrf In Canada : “We are of A Pinion that the Deeest met his death from Violant Information in the Arm, producst from Unoau Cauz.” The “in tirjpation ’’ obtained irr the verdict is about as- “vjohiDt” which at tacked the “ deeest. ? " • v... , wfc * * * 10 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. The Louisville Commercial the case of Capt. Clias. N. Corri. of that city, who v’fts cured by Sf. Jacobs Oil, a f ter suffering for years with rheuma tism. — York {JSch. ) liepitblicah. 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. The Philadelphia Fast/ Hour men tions Mr. J. A. Walton, of 1245 N. Twelfth street, that city, as an enthusi astic indorser of St. Jacobs Oil for the relief and cure of diseases of horses. If you want to enjoy a cool, shady, breezy, cosy, sociable, delight ul sum mer rest, go to Bailey Springs, Ala. They have a perfect crowd of the nicest sort of people there, and are enjoying themselves hugely. The water was never better, the music is delightful, the fare is unexceptionnble, the attendance first-elass, and indeed we may truthfully say that Bailey is booming. It is a good thing for both guests and proprietors that the public has decided the connum drum, ‘'where can I get the most bene fit and pleasure t-t the least expense and trouble, iu favor of Bailey Springs. Cases of dropsy, scrolula, dyspepsia, de bility and diseases of the kidneys, blad der and skin, that have defied the doc tors and resisted all other medical springs, are getting well there every week so easily and quickly that tbe in valids almost come to the conclusion there never was much the matter with them. If you are so unfortunate as to be interested in such matters, drop a postal card to Ellis & Cos., and ask for a circular. Then write to the parties whose names are signed to the certificate, and if there is any humbug ahout it, you’ll soon find it out. 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. In April LL twenty-four member* of Arlington'* minstrels were takiug Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It made them happy. 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. Is it Possible that a remedy made of such common, sim ple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dan delion, etc , make so manuy and such **Tar velous and Avonderful cures as Hop Bitters do? It* must be, for when old and young, rich and poor, Pastor and Doctor, Lawyer and Editor, all testify to having been cured by them, we must believe and doubt no longer. See otl er column.— Post.

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.

I lost my app.itite hod, j flesh, and was confined to my bsd. In 1677 1 was ad mitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung ar big as a half dollar. At one lime a report wenta-.ound that I was dead. I ga'.e up hope, but a friend told me of DR. WILLIAM HALL’S RALBAM FOR THE LUNG3. I got- a bottle, when, to mv surprise, I commenced to feel better, and to-day I feel better that for three years past. I wiite this hoping every onaf af flicted with Diseased Lungs will take DR.

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.
