the 15th of February and 1st of | a fter year, the beaten nlWf his
April; as the saying is, “just be-
year
tween hay and grass”—that is, from
the time that the winter’s supply
of forage is often exhausted, until
the grass begins to grow. It is at
this period that most of the losses
occur among farm stock, and,
therefore, so much more careful
management is needed to carry
the animals safely over until April.
With reference to cattle, if farm
ers would consider the much great
er quantity of milk that a cow will
give, during, the year, that is in
good condition in the spring, than
one that has got through March “by
the skin of her teeth,” there would
be fewer anatomical specimens to
be seen gazing wistfully through
the lane bars at night; and less sel
dom would there be cows with
shrunken bodies and hip-bones like
natural hat-racks, standing with
newly born calves, along the road
side, shivering in the bleak winds
of March. Mercy to cattle is good
economy, and pays particularly
well at this season of the year. Re
garding horses and mules, it is very
important that they should be in
good condition when the heaviest
work of the year is being done. A
very large part of the draft pow
er of an animal lies in his weight;
and when this is lacking and the
whole power is thrown upon his
muscles he must soon give way.—
To obtain full work from an ani
mal he must be well fed and kept
in good order. It is a great mis
take to stint the allowance of'
f<?od, because when this is done
much more effective work power
is lost than the value of the small
amount of food saved. The condi
tion of the work animals is an ex
cellent criterion by which to judge
of the ability of the farmer.
It is an important point in com
mencing work in the spring, that
all of the implements, harness, etc,
should he at hand and in order, as
they may be required. 1 knbw well
how difficult this is when one has
to deal with negroes, who are noto
riously indifferent and disorderly,
but by carefully following them up,
and seeing that there are appoin
ted places for the various appur
tenances of the farm, much disor
der and loss of both time and ma
terials can be avoided.
The one great fault that .every-;
where besets farmers, us a class,
and is ■ conspicuosly general
throngli the South, is over cropping,
or primarily laying out more work
than can be done by the force on
the farm, timely and profitable.—
My own experiece has shown
me that unless crops can be culti
vated thoroughly it is unprofitable
to cultivate them at all. This fault
must necessarily be avoided at the
commencement of the season when
the general plans are made, be
cause after the crops are pitched,
jt will be too late to draw back. It
is very common in the South for
farmers to -put their corn into the
ground early in March, while ’’the
soil is still too cold and damp.—
Much of the seed consequently, rots,
and replanting is necessary. Then
the cotton is planted, and the young-
corn which will have 001110’ up, is
allowed to struggle, with the
weeds until cotton planting is over.
By this bad management’much is
lost; for it is unquestionable that
certainly with corn a difference of
fully one-third is made in the yield
between crops that are promptly
worked when young, and those
that are forced to waste their
young energies struggling with 1 he
weeds in hard unbroken soil. Onef
of the most important elements in;
good farm mangement is to give toj
crops prompt working just when
they are needed. And where the.
farmer has more on his hands than-
lie can attend to exactly when the
need arises, he is over-cropped, and
is working at great disadvantage.
There is nothing to be gaineif
by putting in seed too early; but
this pradtice is a fruitful source ©i
Joss. I no seeds of our staple crops
Svill not gerinate until the soil il
warm; and when they have lain
long in the grown, the plants come
up badly and are more or less puny.
J.n addition to this, there, is always 1
- -danger of a late frost wiping out the
young plants, and necessitating rc>
planting; and if this does not lmi*-
pen, the cold nights of April do
almost as much harm to cotton as a
late positive frost. It is the lies!
economy to be patient,, and uiiii/e t damson, the strong party was the
the time previous to the first lliiin to advertise. Jl'-* U»ok
' two solid columns, to demonstrate
forefathers, but will gladly welcom
the suggestion of others, and test
them in his own experiments, iii a
small way at first. Only a theorist
will risk the bulk of his cr'ops
upon an experiment, but lie ’is' a
sorry farmer who is content to daift
indolently along, and to attempt no
improvement in the preperation,
manuring, and cultivation of his
lands. In all that appertains to
farming there are many points
upon which intelligent and experi
enced farmers cliffer; and if each
would thoughtfully observe these,
and would carefully make his own
small experiments, much benefit
would result to tbo cause. There
is not an intelligent farmer, who
might notin this way, and by com
municating his results to some
agricultural paper, do much toward
introducing more correct notions
and more profitable methods of
farming than now exist.
What ever maybe the nature of
the farming, this is the time when
all the plans of the year must be
deliberately and unchangeably
made. Every plan should be made
and directed toward a certain end,
which the farmer knows will be
within the compass of his means.'
This is about the dime when the;
arrangements are made for crop
liens and other means of getting!
supplies upon time, and the temp-1
tation here, and the ease with which 1
credit can be obtained, are so great!
that-it is almost hopeless to warn!
against the danger, it would ho ;
well for the South if the lien system i
was totally abolished; temporary
hardships would be doubtless
worked upon many, but in the end f
the country would be the better!
off.
I am induced to allude to this
by noticing that the liens already
recorded in several sections'"for the
month of January just passed, are
in excess for those for the same
period las year. This fact indicates
a very straightened condition of
the average farmer, and a willing
ness or necessity on hi- part to in
crease-his indebtedness for 188-1—
that bodes ill for the success of bis
business. Wherever a lien is given
it usually means cotton as the sta
ple crop of the farmer, and it is not
too late to urge the paramount im
portance of putting in abundant
crops of provisions. While I have
always maintained that cotton, at
about it present value can be pro
fitably produced under a cash sys
tem, yet when cultivated under a
lien, all of the profits, and more be
sides, are absorbed by the store
keeper, and the farmer comes out
behind.
There has not been, within the
past decade, any year in which
there appeared a greater necessity
for the production of home supplies
that in 1881. For the past cighttoen
months, there has been a continuous
and increasing depression in all
circles of trade, and the end is not
yet apparent. Never before has
the volume of money lying idle, on
deposits in banks, in both Europe
and America, been approximately
as great as it is at this moment.
And never before have the rates of
interest been so low. These two
facts indicate a great iincorljajnfy,
and lack of confidence in the future.
While it is true that the prices ; oj
all products of the soil arc low, it
it must not be overlooked that they
have been much lower. There are
many men in the South who can
recollect a period of five consecu
tive years when our . cotton crop
was only one-forth to one-third of
what it is-now, but when the prices
at our interior Towns averaged,
during all that period, only four
and a half to five cents per pound.
However great the business 1 de
pression mry be, the farmer, by
producing his own essential provis

About sixty niillion copies ..of The Sun
have gone out of our establishment
during'the past tw elve months.
If you w ere to paste end to: end all tiie
columns of all The Suns printed and sohl
last year you would get ' a continuous
strip of interresting'iriformation, Common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine,' and sane
wit long enough to reach from Printing
Housb square to the top of Mount Cop
ernicus in the moon, then back to Print
ing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the" inhabit
ants of the eaith; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe
twenty-seven or ,t went y-eiglit times.
If every buyer'of a copy of The Suit
during the past year has spi*rtt only one
hour over it, and if his w ife or liis grand
father lias spent another hour, this news
paper in 1883 has' afforded' the human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading, night and day.
It,is only by little calculations, like"
these that you can' form any idea of the
circulation of the most popular of Ameri
