curing labor for the coming your, bo- |
Jng the topic of the day among the |
farmers, I propose to give the plan of
hiring, adopted by myself and others j
in this neighborhood. Tis to divide
time with the laborer instead of shar
ing the crop with him Tho latter !
plßn was adopted by myself and oth
ers for the first two years after tho
surrender—it worked so badly for both
tho employer and hireling, wo were
forced to abandon it. Asa capari
son between the two systems,-J. will
instance the caso <f a black man who
lias been hiring with me ever since
the surrender, and whose family con
sisted of some five or six workers be
sides a host of little fellows.
The first two years we worked upon
the share system, I furnishing tiie
land, team and all necessary imple
ments for cultivating and gathering
tho crops ; he finishing tile labor and
o’s bushels of coin to tho mule—wo
going halves in the crop. At the
dose of the second year, ho was somo
four hundred dollars behind hand.
The next year we divided lime and
land, I allowing him two days in the
week, to-wit, Friday and Saturday, in
which to work for himself ; and fur
nished him with land and team and
150 pounds bacon to tlio hand, as wa
ges for the other lour days, he mak
ing up all lost time, which was paid
it» liis own time, or by an extra band.
At the close of that year, ho had made
expenses and his bread corn for the
ensuing year. Tho next year, 1809,
we tried the same plan, it being the
second year of working on tho time
plan, at the end of which year, lie
was able after paying expenses, to pay
some money on his old share indebt
edness, and to make arrangements to
provision himself and family. In
1870 we agreed to halve the time, he
furnishing himself and family, giving
me 30 bushels corn to the mule. 1
furnishing land, team, tools, &c.. at
ttie end of that year, lie was able to
pay nearly all of liis old share ac
count, alter buying a horse and other
stock. This year lie will pay out, and
have some four or five hundred dollars
over, and expects soon to buy a plant
ation !
With a plantation and niggers, un
der the old regime, lie would be called
rich.- He has a largo family of small
children, who can be worked to groat
advantage to the laborer under the
time system. The men can do their
plowing in his own time. The wo
men and children who tlioy contend
are too small to put in “the crop” can
do the hoeing. Thus bringing into
service their wives and children, who
under the shaie system are more idlers
and consumers.
This plan of dividing time also pos
eesses advantages to the land holder
or employer. In the first place, all
the hands can be worked together aiid
at any kind of work desired. Upon
the share plan, each man wants his
haad and team to work his family or
squad to himself; thus on a planta
tion of any size there might be a half
dozen squads ; you ran have nothing
don-5 outside the cultivation of the
crop, nor even that as you 'blight wish
it. In your own time, you can have
absolute control over y our business—
have fences made or repaired, ditches
made and kept open, land cleaned,
&c. In fact by working diligently
upon this plan, wo-cait have our farms
and surroundings*appear more like
they did of old ! than we can under
any other system, with our present
form of labor. Having to draw upon
their own days to make up lost time,
acts as a stimulant to keep the negio
up with bia ,'work. Thus saving his
own time for liis own work, or lor
squandering as he sees fit.
In the end there will be less dissat
isfaction ; if be makes nothing, he can
blame none but himself. Many other
advantages could bo enumerated. 1
say to my brother farmers try divid
ing instead of the crops. There is
more money and less dissatisfaction,
than upon anv other plan.

Editors Southern Cei.tiv vtoii.—
Agriculture is the main-spiing as it
were that runs the machinery of the
whole world. In Europe it is carried
on upon a much more approved plan
and on a more economical basis than
with us. The old countries aro so
thickly populated, that necessity com
pels them to make the greatest amount
of eatables possible on a given area of
ground. They make all the manure
they possibly can ; convert everything
within reach into something that can
be used. The poorer classes thero
who try to farm, pay enormous rents.
The land owner in England or Ire
land is not content with a part of their
crop, but must have his share of their
poultry, pigs and every thing else t*iey
raise. Even in the Northern part of
the Unite! States land is very high,
and so is rent. Woof the Southern
States, have a better chance than any
people I have ever heird of; but do
not niako as good use of it as wo
might do. We have a climate suita
ble for the production of anything j
thatcanbe produced almost anywhere ;
we can grow cotton, corn, rice, tobac- !
wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, sugar,
molasses, &c. But we do not avail
ourselves the half of these advant
ages—we buy northern goods and !
western goods, that we could make as
good than they can. If wo
would only plant? less cotton and make
more to oat, we could whip our ene
mies yet: Growing" cotton has made
slaves of us ; wo have to" look to our
masters for a groat many of the nec
essaries of life and all luxuries.
The war was just bringing us into
light in a great many eases, causing
us to develop our resources, or as tho
negro would have it, “jis bringing”
us to our senses.
During the war we made our own
shoes, clothes and provisions, and not
quite so much cotton ; now we make ;
nil cotton and not quite so much to |
eat as to last until middle of April in |
great many instances, and I tell yon
i how this planting cotton makes every
j other section, or country govern us.
Theyatikee rules our cotton crop with
his manufactories, he takes it at his
j own prices, and barters us in lieu of
it, clothes, shoos, ploughs, buggies,
I harness, wagons, geuiiug, and ma
chinery of every kind, worthless gua
nos, iko., and pays us very little money
at all, and what little he does pay us
the western people get for corn, hay
jor bacon or mules, which leaves tho
cotton planter g bankrupt slave. Now
the State of Georgia ought not with
her resources to buy a bushel of corn
bale of hay, a pound of bacon or a
horse, or a mule; by these things
alone wo might save thousands of dol
lars annually. By having more stock
: and having more feed fyr them, wo
j could raise much more manure, and
| by doing this we could dispense with
tho buying of northern guanos at all,
besides more stock would givo more
beeves and more beeves would give
more bides and more hides would
make more leather and more leather
would give employment to more man
ufacturers of shoes and harness, and
by that alone save thousands of dollars
for tho South. Make less cotton and
get better prices for it and save more
money, is my motto for the South.
Wo say and wo say truly, that we
want more lalor to develope the re
sources of the South. How are we to
get it ? not by paying small wages |
and giving scant food; no, no, that
wou’t get it. No man will leave a
country where he can procure high
wages, though the high wages be only
for a part ot tho year, and cheap feed !
the year round. I say no man will!
quit a place like that, and go where
wages and feed alike are scant. Now
the question naturally arises, how caji
we a fiord to pay more wages and feed
better, when it takes all wo make to
feed as we now' do, though it be scant ?
I would answer at once, why make
feed at home, a plenty and to spare.
Aud by that means save the money, a
plenty for all ordinary purposes and
somo to invest. Then arises tho fa
miliar objection. “It is easy enough
to talk or to write about these things,
but not so easy to put into execution.
My father always did well aud had
money too; and he w.is a cotton plan
ter and believed it.” But my friends
your fathers had fresh lands, slave la
bor and good natural range for stock,
all of which you have not. Your la
ther’s way of clearing land and wear
ing it out with slave labor, has left
you bankrupt, with nothing but red
hills and free niggers, aud scarcely
timber to keep up fences.

EC cue wing Forests--Artificial
I,a kcs.
To the Editor of the Evening Post:
I was much pleased by your timely
article in [Saturday's issue on the bad
results of the destruction of forests.—
Already wet seasons are the exception
in large tracts of country where for
merly they were the rule. Springs
begin lo fail that were never known
to dry up ; and streams which 1 re
member furnishing a good flow of wa
ter throughout the dryest season pre
sent only dry beds* in summer. So
widespread is the disaster that only
well-directed and persistent efforts
will save the older portion of tho
country from the sterility which is
now to be seen in some parts of the
old world.
In some parts of the country, how
ever, our forests have increased rather
than diminished, and we are not alto
gether without encouragement.
Nature is kinder to man than he is
to himself or to his kind, for every
where, if he but follows her laws, he
soon remedies tho results of his ow r n
errors. In the older prairie States,
like Ohio and Kentucky, and even in
all those east of the Mississippi, for
ests have multiplied as the Indian and
buffalo have been driven west. There
aro many men now living who see
young forests spreading over miles of
country which, when they were boys,
was open prairie. Portions of Ken
tucky which Daniel Boone and his
companions saw as naked prairies aro
now covered with thrifty forests. Per
haps I have known more of Illinois
than any other western stato during
the last forty years, and I think I
shall bo sustained in my assertion by
old residents when I say that the for
est surface in that state has quadru
pled in the last twenty years, and thero
is a fair prospect for it to bo quadru
pled in the next quarter of a century.
Tho annihilation of the buffalo and
the prevention of annual fires of the j
Indian would in twenty years’ time j
cover the vast country west of tho!
Mississippi and to tho ocean with thrif-1
ty forests ; for it is only tho annual'
fires and the close cropbiug of the
herbage by tho buffalo that keeps
them back now.
One means of preventing the alter
nate iuundatious and droughts which
follow the destruction ot forests is the
: establishment of a system of reservoirs
!or artificial lakes, whereby snrplus
; water may be stored, and utilized for
J purposes of agriculture or motive pow
er. In my opinion tho first and most
| important step towards a proper cor
rection of these terrible evils is to in
stitute a system of artificial lakes.—
There is hardly a township in this
state where a practical engineer could
be made. A. C. PETERS.
About one hundred thousand Jdol
larshave thus far been raised for the
rebuilding of the distroyed Methodist
churches in Chicago,

1 |>r p so to m ike it what it was before ttie war—“Fne favorite of the
South.” Our w ork stands upon its merits, end we think this a sufficient guar
antee. NVo have secured the services of some if the best, mechanical talent
in the Northern shops, in tddilion to some of the best workmen from the shop
of the late Samuel Griswold Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight years
apprenticeship under E Carver & Cos., at E.st Bridgewater, Mass., and who
was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, from the com
meucement of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until is suspension,
is again at his post, and wt.l give each Gio his personal inspection b, f re it
leaves the shop.
In calling the attention of planters to oar Cot’on Gins, we desire that the
oul and notice the improvements we offer, which are substantially as follows"
A. PORTA BLE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of tho Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of
which in to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen the quunti'y and improve
the quality ot lint. A’so, to gin dump or wet cotton; to alter the picking or
separating the lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, or lees lint from
the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and
a twinging Front. The latter is ai ranged to let out all the seeds and hulls
in a moment and is very easily managed.
THE-GIN BRUSH
We meke, cannot bo excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are all
drawn in by a cord, an I the timber is all selected from the htst lutnbor, well
seasoned • and every brush is made perfectly tire and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES,
Are both oscillating and plain. Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We
line them with the best babbit metal.
GIN SAWS.
We m ike all the saws that we use from tho best Engli-h Cast Steel, andet
any size that tnay be desired. We employ, to superintend and manufacatn
our saws, one of the best saw makers in the Soutn, uud our machinery for the
manufacture of Gin Saws cannot bo excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL
We are the only successful manufacturers of this irrprrtant ard useful in
vention—the Cotton Gin, wuh the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. I
will hardly be necessary here to allude to the immense saving and ecrromica
use of crushed cotton seed as a manure. We received a gold medal as a pre
muim, from the Fair of the Cotton Planter’s Convention, held in Macr u. Go.
18t)0, for the best Colton Seed Crusher attached to tbo Gin Stand, to cru-h
the seed as fast as it escapes from the Roll. We refer to some of the many
certificates that we have on the subject. J
TRIAL OF GINd
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before i
leaves the shop —old cr new ones*
REPAIRING OF OLD GINS.
We have a complete assortment of the very best Cottou Gin Machinery * *
the country, and make repairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do
well to send in their old Gins aud have them made as good as new, at a much
less cost than anew one can be bought for. Sand on your orders and old
