It isn’t very much, but ns it seems to bo the fashion of Georgia papers at this .time to give advice to farmers, wo have concluded to contribute our mite. The first suggestion we have to ofler—and we do it modestly—is that too much money is paid out by our farmers for fertilizers, when better results could be obtained by rotation of crops. We admit that it is impossible to raise good crops from fields which have been planted witli the same crop for years, without some artificial stimu lus; but if the llelils which have for generations been planted in cotton were givon a rest by being put down in oats, followed by grass for a couple of years, then in corn, nnd then back to cotton, we think it would be found that better crops would follow, and tho profits of these same crops would not go into the pockets of the guano dealers. The uext suggestion is, Hint no farmer can ntl'ord to put nil his time and capital upon any one product, we care not wlmt it is. It is too much like betting upon one card—you may win once, but you are liable to lose-many times. There nro too many risks to run, nnd to lose that crop is to lose all. Ily diversifying the products of the farm thoro aro more chances of suc cess, for if one fails you have oth ers to fall back upon. For years the farmers of Illinois did with corn us the farmers of the south are doing with cotton- -they risked their all upon corn, planting no other crop. For a few years, while tlie soil was fresh and strong, they were successful; but then came years of drouth, of too much mill, of foul land, and the corn crop fail ed and so did the farmers. That experience taught them the impor tance of diversifviug their crops, nnd notwithstanding the past year was a hard one, they made enough to come cut even. Our third suggestion is, that a smnll piece of land well cultivated is more profitable than a large piece skimmed over. Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well, is a saying that applies ns forcibly to farming, ns to any do South. The editor of a Northern paper Ives tlie following advice to his readers. At the SotitJi of us are broud acres, millions of them, that cun lie bought lor one dollar per acre, in a climate that deals kindly with gicy hairs, and where your prospect for a long life will be enhanced. Take a second thought before it is too lute, for the move you are about to make will lie about your last. The noonday radiance of the genial sun beckons to the sunny vales, rich elopes, woodlands nnd prairies of inexhaustible fertility of the South ern states. There will be more Northern capital invested at the South in 1881 than in all previous years since the war. The tide of prosperity is just beginning to set in that direction, and it is so irre- sistnhlc that nothing will over cheek it until the measure of Southern hope is full of overflowing. There are plenty of healthy locutions in that section, and tho percentage of old people is ti3 large as any part of America. Go South old man, go south, and live long, and die happy and “well fixed,” and let your grave be dug‘nenlii tlie ever green magnolias, where the mock ing-birds shall daily sing a requiem until time shall lie no more. The Yankee in Eugluiui. Tlie Yankee traveler in the “old country” must lie prepared for a change in manners and customs. All that freedom and cordiality which is found in the sellleineiite disappear. A stranger, if not-“tak- en in,” must bo prepared to meet some which average in weight a little over four pounds each. They' are of a fine variety, known as tlie “poplar root Spanish,” and the captain lias raised over five hundred burslieis per acre this season.” The farmers around Miiledgeviile are selling their coll on seed, and it is feared they will not reserve enough for planting purpose's, to my nothing of manure. The Walton County A 'run states ‘one day lust week Mr. J. T. Iirown, oi Social Circle, killed a very fine noef that Imd been fattened on West ern hay. in its stomach were found two rocks as large as mnrblcs, twenty common nails, one screw, one horseshoe nail, an iron washer Iron a buggy wheel nnd a good large staple.” The .Vries very pru dently remarks that “reliable gen tlcmcn will swear to the above if doubted.” Game is plentiful in Tliomas county. The Knterpriee states that Mr. W. J. Hall went down the river last week with a party of deer hunters nnd killed a couple ol line ones. Three deers ran by him, but as he had only a double-barrel lie could shoot but twice and lmd to let the third deer escape. This game is said to he getting more plentiful, under the game law, and a shot can now be imd almost any time a short distance down tli Oekloekonee.
