Saturday FARM AND HOUSEHOLD From Home and Farm. Small Farmers. I sec a letter by .7. A. Davison, and several others, requesting me to write for small farmers of the south. This I thought I had done, and was doing all the time, for I have long known that on large farms where many negroes were worked, cotton was the only crop that could be raised, as negro labor is too uncertain and careless to ever handle profitably a stock farm. It is to the small farmers that the south must look for regeneration, and to lift the cotton states out of the mire into which tho “all-cot ton” theory has placed them. In the south there are a large majori ty of the farmers who own the farms on which they live, and it is to those especially tnat I will write. The man who rents land and moves every year can do nothing with stock, especially in a country where stock runs at large. If he wishes to raise stock find is unable to buy a farm, then the best way is to lease one for a term of years. By this plan be can make such improve ments as he needs to take care of such stock as ho may handle. The first advice I will give to the small farmer is to get one-half of his land in grass, for without grass no man ever did or ever will live well and make money. Next, get you an orchard of all the fruits that succeed in your country. Then have a garden convenient to the house, and he sure that it is well cultivated. Next, have a truck-: patch of as many acres as you can well handle, in which cultivate po tatoes, peas, beans and melons suf ficient to do the family and some to feed to a lot of pigs to make your meat. Next, sell your mules and horses and buy the best mares you can find and raise colts from the mares that work the crop. Then get a few good sows to rai«e your meat and some to sell to your “all-cotton” neighbors, then as many good ewes as you can handle and give them good care. My ex perience in raising hogs is that where a farmer is not well pre pared to care for hogs, the best way is to get good native sows and cross with a Berkshire, boar, and that for new beginners the best sheep to handle is the native and cross with a Cots wo Id or Southdown lmck. And the best way to raise hogs cheaply is to have a lot or field of artichokes or chufas for winter feed, then a field of barley and oats to turn them on in .Tunc-, then a pas ture of Japan, red and white clover upon which they can graze, then have a patch of early peas to turn them on as soon as ripe and a suc cession of peas to keep them grow ing till corn is fit to feed on, then they can be fed ten or fifteen days on corn to finish them off. By this means pork can be cheap ly raised and at the same time your land will become richer every year. Now, we will compare this mode of farming with “all cotton” and you can judge which is best. We will suppose that you have your farm all prepared with grass, artichokes, chufas, etc., and that you have your fields so divided that you can put one in corn, one in peas, one in oats, wheat and barley, or in any one of them, and the bal ance in grass. Then your crop can, by using diligence and care, be made to net you as follows: 100 ewes with lamb and wool §200 Fifty hogs, average 200 pounds eaeh, 400 Two colts worth $50 each, 100 Five calves worth SO each, 30 You can then purchase and feed five beeves that will pay a profit of S20 each, 100 ASKEW, BRADLEY & CO. when the man in the north, whp: made the food which he purchased, 1 is >!"“•» : BAjeo-ArErgi bargainsii with board.

Then why is it, brother farmers, that you will persist in raising cot ton ? I know of a farmer that last year got $S00 for his cotton crop that required several hands to make and gather, and sold his pork for !j;. r >00, that cost but little work or food. Then there is another advan tage in farming over cotton plant ing. It is the enhanced value of land. When a man cultivates cot ton alone he only needs about fif teen acres of land to each hand, consequently there is much land that is idle and unproductive, while if he is a stock raiser, he will need 100 acres to each regular hand on the farm, and all the land can be made to pay a fair interest on the value, mid where the land is poor much of it should be put in grass and peas, so as to fertilize it. I have read much of manuring lands In the south, with commercial ma nures, cow-pen and stable manure, and I never had any faith in them. First, because no man can afford to pay $8 to $10 per acre for commer cial manures; next, the climate of the south is SO mild that but few stock are housed, consequently but little manure is made. >So the small farmer must depend upon green crops to manure his land, and, to do this, nothing is better than the southern pea and stock to eat it off. The pea is better than clover for several reasons: First, because it can be used fo benefit in one year, while it requires two years for clo ver; next, two crons of peas can be grown on the same land in one year; next a crop of peas can be grown after a crop of small grain, and then a crop can be grown in the corn with but little extra ex pense, and then the peas can be fed off the land by stock and still leave all the manure on the ground, thus getting pay for planting the peas and getting the manure besides; and last, they will manure lands better than clover. Now, brother farmers; be sure to make home happy and pleasant; try to live at home and don’t try to make money to buy happiness. You can live as well as any one in all the land, if you will only try; you can have a table supplied with the very best of fruits, vegetables and meat, if you will only make up your mind to do it. Then hold up your head. You are just as good as any town folks, even if not dressed so fine. Barney Lillard.

Johnston, of Scotland, says : “Upward of half of the saline matter of blood (fifty- seven per cent.) consists of common salt, and tin's is partly discharged every day through the skin and kidneys. The necessity of contin ued supplies of it to the healthy body becomes sufficiently obvious. The bile also contains soda (one of the ingredients of salt) as a special and indispensable constituent, and so do all the cartilages of the body. Stint the supply of salt, therefore, and neither will the bile be able properly to assist digestion, nor the cartilage to build up again as fast as it naturally wastes, It is better to place salt where'stock can have free access to it than to give it oc casionally in large quantities. They will help themselves to what they need if allowed to do so at pleasure; otherwise when they become ‘salt — I hungry’ they may take more than is wholesome.” THOMPSON BROS’ BEDROOM, PARLOR AND DINING ROOM ESTEY AND GEORGE WOOD & CO/S OIRO-A-ISTiS- BURIAL CASES, WOOD AND METALLIC.

In addition to the above profit you can have some hay to sell if you haveland enough as there are many grasses that grow well in the south and make fine hay, although I have seen an article in Home and Farm saying that good hay could not lie made south of 34 south latitude, while the fact is now no torious that Bermuda and Johnson grass will grow anywhere in the south, and there are many other grasses that are fast coming into notice that grow well.and make fine hay. The first and main tiling I will urge on the small farmer is, to be sure and make plenty to feed your family and all stock you have on the place. After this is done the rest is easy to accomplish. It is a shame to the people of the south that they have so long bought the food to supply their families, carbolic acid or a pound of sulphur to a pailful of the wash (this is to kill the vermin); do not be afraid of putting on too much, but apply the wash to every corner and crev ice in the building.

Wash your windows (if you. have them,) so that the fowls can see daylight and in bad weather they will enjoy the confinement of the poultry houses much better. Wash off the roosts with kerosene oil at least once a week. Take evry nest box and whitewash inside and out, and put in clean straw sprinkling upon it some sulphur or loose to bacco.
