AGRICULTURAL. northern and .Southern Labur Compared. Tho January’ Report of the Depart-! meat of Agriculture in regard to farm j labor is interesting and instructive. The avorago wages of farm labor is found to bo, in the United States, $26 per month, without board ; with board Cls 50. There has been a decrease in the average wages since 1866, and this decrease has been greatest in the States in which tho crops were least diversified. The inciease has occurred ♦in those states in which the produce of the soil has been chiefly consumed, within their own borders, by means of manufacturing, mining, Ac. Tho sta tistician, Mr. Dodge, writes thus upon this point : “The idea of exportation of the raw product of the soil to the Old hbrid j from tho heart of the American conti-; nent as a source of wealth to an en tire State, should have its origin in an insane asylum, and if carried into practice, would make the county iu linnary tho principal local institution.” The language is strong. It is as true as it is strong. * * * * A comparison between the rate of wages for farm labor in the New Eng land States and Georgia, tills us with amazement. Tho following questions were pro posed by the Department: Question 1. Average wages per month (without board) for farm la- i borers by tho veai. Ques. 2. Average wages per month of farm laborers (with board) for the year. Qces. 3. Average wages per month (without board) of farm laborers hired for the season or a portion of tho year. Ques. 4. Average wages per month (with board) of farm labarers hired ibr the season or a portion of the year. The answers to these questions from New England are as follows: Ques 1 | Ques 2. j Ques. 3. I Ques. 4. $32 t)G. | S2O 50. | $37 80. | S2O 10>, Compare these New England with Georgia rates of labor. Under our present system who could pay $32 09 por month with farm labor' without immediate ruin ? M hy is this i lake Massachusetts for instance, which is the most favor able instance of the Now England States. Why can tho Massachusetts man pay $32 09 per month for farm labor, while the Georgian cannot pay hall that sum and live ? The solution of this question is of the utmost im portance to us. It underlies our whole ludustry. If the Massachusetts man has any advantage, what is it ? Is it of climate ? Not unless it be an advant age to be locked up by ice and snow lor six months of tho year, while tho plow is unimpeded in Georgia, and our genial winter's sun invites our do mestical animals to a lazy repose. Is it in cash value of products ? Lot us compare. Tho product of greatest I value in Massachusetts is Irish jota toes, averaging-lUO bushels pet acre,! at 58 cents p r bushel—s 77 08. An! acre ot cotton in Georgia, well ma nured, will bring a bale of cotton worth soy SIOO. Wheat in Massac husetts is $1 75 per bushel, in Geor gia $1 50. Corn in Massachusetts »1 32, in Georgia. $1 40. ltvo in Massachusetts *1 30, in Georgia, $1 50. Oats in Massachusetts 73 cents, in Georgia, 80 cents Barley in Massachusetts $1 50, in Georgia sl*7s. Irish potatoes in Massachusetts por bushel 08 cents, in Georgia 81 50 to $2 00. Hay in Massachusetts $24 per ton, in Georgia $35. It will be observed as a result of this compari son that there is not a single farm pro duct which does not sell higher in Georgia than in Massachusetts. Is there a supeiior natural fertility to have an Underlying granite rock so near the surface that a tap rooted plant will strike it, unless soil and ma nure be piled upon it. Is there a difference in the value of labor f Clearly there is, and a very great difference in favor of >iassachu setts over Georgia. But with this ac knowledged superiority, what Georgia planter would be willing to contract for a gang of hands, such as they use in Massachusetts, at $385 08 per an num, under our present system ? He would be insane if he did.* We must add that tho Massachu setts labor is )iut upon a farm worth at least on an average, SIOO per acre, while the Georgia labor is put on a farm worth say, an average %f $lO per acre. The Massachusetts farm of ;>OO acres would be worth SSO 000, the Georgia farm would be worth $5 000. Yet the one can afford to use labor at $32 per month-, the other at not more than $lO per month. Remember the difference in the cost of land, the superiority of the Georgia climate, of natural soil, and of j rices f>r farm predicts, and then give the reason why the Massachusetts man can atford to give double the wages ol the Georgi* farm labor and yet make money. * * * If the difference in the value of la bir be not ow n; to soil, climate, or price of products, it must be owing to the different use of land, in other words, to a difference in the system ol labor. No other solution is apparent. If there is another, and more correct Boluti m, no one will be more thankful to je.rof it than the writer. This, has been a subject of anxious thought with him for years past, both before and since the war iris views in re gard to it have been repeatedly urged before the public through the columns of the Southern Cultivator. It i 3 our system of farming which not oulv keep# down the value of our land, but fori .ids us to use that kind of reliable labor which would save us from the present miserable annoyances, of the farm. Let us make a comparison between tho probable uso and results of 100 acres iu Massachusetts and the same iu Georgia, under tho present system ill both, products and prices as they now aro ruling: In the Massachusetts farm there would be probably— -80 acres in pasture, meadow and clover at $8 per aer0....: $ 040 00 5 acres Irish potatoes, 530 bushels at 08 cent 360 90 5 acres corn, 170 bushels, $1 40 538 00 5 acres wheat, 90 bushels, at $1 75 157 50 5 acros oats, 155 bushels at 75 113 15 100 acres $1,509 55 Deduct labor of one man 384 00 $1,125 55 Take 100 acres of Georgia land un der the present system— I 20 acres in broom sedge pas- ture $ 20 20 acres iu cotton, 7 l.alesatsloo 100 20 aeros in corn, 100 bushels at $1 40 224 20 acres in wheat, 100 bushels, at $1 50 150 20 acres in oats, 100 bushels at 80 cents 128 $1,222 Deduct labor 2 J hands, at $lO per month, one year 480 $ 742 Thus, under tho Massachusetts sys tem, ot ono hundred acres with one hand, we have $1,125 55 Under the Georgia system with 2.} hands, we have 742 00 Difference in favor of Mass. $ 383 55 Additional cost of horses, smith work, etc , uot included. An average crop as given in the report, is taken in both States. Os course, much larger crops are made in both States, the average only is given. it will appear from this comparison how the Northern farmer can afford to pay so much for labor. It is because :ho uses so little of it. His land i» made to work without labor. Nature is made to labor for him* and when her crop of hay is ready she lifts her voice and says, “The meadow is ready, secure tho harvest.” The average which I have given of the usual val ue of tho pasture, meadow and clover, ($8 per acre) of a New England farm, is very small. The answer to this comparison is ready. VV e cannot, at the South, adopt this system, for we can grow neither grass nor clover. . Neither could the Massachusetts man on those sterile New England soils, unless he manured heavily. So far us the grass and clover are concerned this manuie costs nothing. The small grain to which it is applied must pay for it. The grass or clover gets its share for nothing. I have seen no part of tho Status away from the blowing sands of the immediate coast, in which by proper manuring and after treatment, valuable grasses cannot 'be made to grow sufficiently well to pay $8 per aero without labor. Defective and cheap as is our pres ent labor, it is rapidly decreasing. * * * * The black labor which we retain is generally diminishing in value. This is especially truo of the nogro women, who formerly constituted so important a part of our labor. On this point the Agricultural department uses tho fol io .ving language: * * * - It is evident that tho disinclination o women to labor in the field, and tiio efficiency of tho men from being left to their own management under the share system, have limited tho production of cotton and other crops. The correspondent at Arkansas Rost, ! James H. ivioore, sends reports of cot ! ton picking by thirty-five men and J women and children in 1859, showing |an average of 10,291 pounds picked I by eack in fourteen weeks, equivalent to eleven bales of four hundred pound# each. He states that in 1869 nearly the same number of hands, on tho same land, did not average more than one-third of that amount. One of the hands, “Guy,” in 1859, pieced 12,- 401 pounds in fourteen wee's; and in 1809, but 3,640 pounds in fifteen weeks He says the reduction is up on a similar ratio along the Arkansas River; and if tho same elsewhere, assumes that the present force of col ored laborers do not pick more than 1,000,000 halos of cotton. In this emergency what is to be our resort ?IV e must import labor v\ hore fr m ? Men speak of Chinese labor as equally cheap with negro labor. It is to be feared that this is a mistake. A \ery intelligent and truthful citizou of Georgia, recently from California, remarked that the Chinese in Sanfrau < i co were a good deal amused at the idea of copiing to the South to work at customary negro wage?. They lecvo home to better their condition. They know tho value of labor in the United States as well as we do. To expect t > obtain good Chineso labor at lei s than from $1 to $1 50 per day is ftllacious. It may be obtained under font: act in China for less forme year, but rs soon as the laborer finds that he ctn get higher wages elsewhere he will go where he can got it; or if thi contract binds him for a longer peri od, he will become so worthless that that it will be cheapest to get rid o. him. We must expect soon to pay th< current agricultural wages of the Uni ted States or give up our farms. Bu it would ruin us to pay these wages t farm laborers, either Chinese or Eu ropean, under our present system What, then, is to bo done ? Wo mus change our system. It has thus fu been peculiar, owing to newness an cheapness of lands, extreme value ts our staple products, cotton and slav. labor. “The times chango and wi must change with tlum.” TJ'e mus. do as the rest of the agricultural world has boon doing at home and abroad \\ lion we cultivate a plowed crop, whether it bo cotton or corn, it must bo so heavy manured that we can afford to employ skilled labor, with improved and costly implements to work it. Tho great body of our open land, not under the plow, must be put in such a condition, with grass, clover and Lucern, that it will more than it will moro than compensate for the high wages which we shall soon bo required to pay for farm labor.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. MU women know that it is beauty rather than genius which all generations of men have wor shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered at then, that so much of woman's lime and attention should bo directed to the means of developing and preserving that beauty ! Women know, too, that when men apeak of the intellect of women, they speak critically, tamely coolly ; hilt when they come to apeak of the charms of a beautiful woman, their language aud their eyes kidule with a.i enthusiasm wnicli shows them to he pro louudl), it not, indeed, ridiculously iu earn est. It ia part ot the natural sagacity ol women to perceive all this, aud theretore em ploy every allowable art to become the god dees of that adoration. Preach to the cou traiy, as we may, against the arts employed oy women lor enhancing their beauty, there etill stauds the eternal tact, that the’ world does uot prefer the society of an ugly worn tu ot genius to that jf a beauty of less'intellect. ual ai yu reiuent?. The woild h a s yet allowed no h gu r mission to women than to be beau tiful, and it, would seem that the ladies ol the present age ate carrying this idea ol the .vorid to gieater extremes than eTer, for all women now to whom nature has deni and the talismauio power of beauiv, supply the defi ciency by the use ol a most deligfi ful toilet article, known as the “Bloom of Y'outli,” which has been lately introduced into this country hy George W.
