The Farming Y/e Reed.
A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says : “ ‘Tire time lias now
come when nothing but high farming
will pay in this section of country,
since ! he cheap and fertile iands of the
West are brought into such close and
sharp competition by cheap freights
and rapid transit. Old habits which
are not now paying must be abandoned,
and newer and better paying ones
adopted. Every acre of tillable land
must Oe made to yield its treasures
with the least possible expense. When
one hundred bushels of corn per acre
can bo produced, we must not be
satisfied with fifty bushels. If anew
implement can do the work of two men
with an old one, the old one should bo
laid by and the new one used. If there
is not enough manure to go all over the
common ground, we must buy some
well tried fertilizer that will increase
the product. It is nil folly to continue
to farm poor land when it is possible
to enrich it. The expense of farming
poor land is greater than that attend
ing richer land, and the labor more
discouraging. There must be more
general attention given to dairy pro
ducts, the cultivation of small fruits
and the raising of poultry. The old
system of pasturage will have to give
way before the onward march of soiling
and the no-fencing system. The road
master, width his gang of full hands
and half-grown boys, must yield to the
new road scraper and smoother.’ To
which we may add that the time lias
arrived, even in our neighboring
counties, where more systematic
method and * higher fanning’ are ex
pedient, in order to produce satis
factory results. On out best ‘ bottom
land’ the old corn and ha}’ and clover
methods may yet satisfy the farmer,
but even he could experience benefit
bv heeding the admonitions of the
above extract.*’
Get out Doors.
The close confinement of all factory
work, gives thcoperntives pallid faces,
poor appetite, languid, miserable feel
ings, poor blood, inactive liver, kid
neys and urinary troubles, and all tiie
physic’ans and medicine in the world
cannot help them unless they get out
doors or use llop Bitters, the purest
and best remedy, especially for such
cases, having abundance of health,
sunshine ami rosy cheeks in them.
They cost but a trifle.— Christian Re
corder.
Improving Stock.
The time has been in this country,
and not a great number of years ago,
when many farmers found almost in
surmountable difficulties in the way of
the introduction of good stock ; hut
that time has passed away. Obstacle."
which presented themselves disap
peared., and it is no longer nn open
question whether or not it is good
policy to breed, grow and fatten the
best. The great, cost of thoroughbred
stock, at one time, was a barrier in the
way of its general use, but breeding
lias now grown to be a vast industry,
and prices of good individual sires and
dams have been so reduced as to place
them nearer the reach of all, than ever
before. The hard time.s of a few years
back prevented many fanners from
weeding out trash}’ breeding stock, the
means for making desirable substitu
tion being actually unprocurable ; but
this difficult}’ is now removed. The
generally unremuncrativecondition of
the fat stock trade was another im
pediment to those desiring to raise
their standard of breeding ; but this
trouble no longer exists. There
actually are no obstacles in the way
of general improvements at this time
which are worth considering. On the
contrary there is an incentive to the
introduction of good blood. It is one
of the urgent demands of the day. and
if the American people would become,
as they can, the regular feeders o!
Europe, it must be heeded. The
standard quality of Llie stock on our
fat stock markets can, with proper
effort, be raised fifty percent, within
the next two years’ time, without any
financial trouble whatever.— Pittsburgh
Stockman.

Why Planters are Poor.
The credit system is an evil of,
perhaps, greater dimensions than the
nil-cotton delusion. Aside from the
demoralizing influences which debt
always and everywhere has over those
who incur it, the system of farm credits
in the south has some mischievous
tendencies peculiar to itself. Its effect
is to make the planter the serf of the
merchant with whom he deals. All
his gains are hi3 master’s; lie cannot
sell except to that master nor buy of
any other, and he must always pay the
price demanded of him, but is com
peiled to accept what lie can get for
liis crop. A farmer who is without
capital goes to his factor in the spring
and pledges to him by chattel mortgage
or otherwise the cotton crop lie intends
to raise during the coming season as
security' for the merchandise he will
consume while the crop is growing.
On this security the merchant advances
him money from time to time to pay
his help, and furnishes him seed, to >K
bacon, molasses, flour, hay, and all
farm and family supplies. It must
not be supposed that these goods are
charged to the farmer at the cash prices.
If this were the case this credit system
would lie comparatively' innocent. In
general argument and discussion it is
customary to speak of the credit prices
as being from 25 to 40 per cent, higher
than the cash price. The difference
is really much greater. The Georgia I
department of agriculture has carefully
investigated this matter, and its pub
lished statement shows that in north
Georgia bacon sells on an average at
9 cents per pound cash, and 11 cents
on time, an advance which, if we take
into consideration the time for which
the credit is granted—that is from the ;
the first ofj
to 41.5 per cent, per annum on the
cash price. Corn sells for 64 cents
per bushel for cash and 90 cents on
time, an advance of 81.2 per cent.
For the whole State the average
advance on cash prices is. for bacon,
40 per cent, per annum, and for corn,
61.4 per cent. To buy on credit in
October a bushel of corn worth 61 cents
and pay 90 cents to discharge the debt
on November 1 is equivalent to
borrowing money at 40 per com. p< r,
month, or 480 per cent, per annum.
There is no occupation in the world,
except, perhaps, successful bank
burglary or diamond digging, winch
can lie made to pay a return on cap
ital borrowed at such a ruinous rate.
I low can it be possible for the planters
of the south to raise cotton for 8 or 9
cents a pound, sell it for 10. pay then
exorbitant provision bills, and have
anything left.? Asa matter of fact,
few of them do have anything left.
The factor, the buyer, the owner of
gins, presses, and compresses, the
shipper, and the manufacturer levy
their toll on the rollon crop and all
get, rich. The poor farmer alone grows
poorer, and his own folly is the cause
of his poverty. Atlanta handles every
year 120,000 bales of cotton. On ever)
bale she levies various tolls and com
missions. amounting in the aggregate
• o $150,000 or SIBO,OOO a y ear for the
city on its whole cotton bus ness, ex
clusive of manufacturing of a limited
nuinboro f men—a few hundre 1 utmost
—in sums van ing Horn $ 100 to $ 15.000
or more. The 200 000 cotton fanners
of the State do not. average more than
S4O apiece as their annual share *f the
profits for their year's work. If the}-
raise 750,000 ha’es, cll ng for $37,500.-
000. their share of the profits at the
liberal estimate of 10 cents per pound
would amount to $7,500,000. or $37.50
each. By raising their own supplies
and buying for cash whatever was
needed to supplement home produc
tion. they could easily diminish their
expenses to a degree which would
reduce the cost of cotton low enough
to a’low a profit of 6 cents per pound,
or $112.59 annual profit for each
planter in Georgia—a very large
average net gain on a single pro hid

Dan Emmett, the old time negro
minstrel, is still performing in the
West. He is the author of “’Way
Down South in Dixie,” which was first
a “walk round” chorus, written in
1859 for Bryant’s Minstrels, then at
Mechanics’ Hall, Broadway. Emmett,
lately said to a Cincinnati Enquirer
reporter: “‘1 wish I was in Dixie’
was a northern circus expression, and
not a Southern one, as many have
supposed. I had travelled a great
many years with circuses in mv
younger days, and ‘the South’ was
then considered all that portion of the
country below Mason and Dixon's
line, called for short ‘ Dixie,’ by' show
men. In the early fall of the year,
when a frost would sometimes over
take a south-bound circus still in the
North, the boys would think of the
genial warmth of the section they were
heading for, and many’s the time on
such an occasion have I heard them
say. ‘ Well, I wish I was in Dixie’s
land now.’ It was this that give me
the ‘catch line’ for my song.’’ Two
years afterward the rebellion broke out,
and Emmett’s air, which had become
popular in the South, was made the
representative tune of the rebels. The
author says the work has paid him
about §BOO.
