Vuv uvcv s CoVvurcvw . 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.

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 —Atlanta Correspondence New Yuri Times.

The night before the day appointed for the marriage the bride elect was waited upon by a number of members of the local Land League, who informed her that, shuld she mar ry the intended bridegroom, both she and all her family would be equally “ Boycotted/’ So great was the persu . sion brought to hear upon her, that the girl lias postponed the match. FIRE PROOF MESSENGER BOXES 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.
