Editors OrmvATon.—Se 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. JOHN D. IIABDY. Ken ton, Hiss., Kov. 21 st, 1871. A grit ultnre. 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. 0. CO. NEE. Greene County, Ga., Aug., 1871. 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.

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.
