FEWER ACRES
And Better Cultivation the Great Want
of the South.
Soath.rn Cultivator.
Ill the presence oi wiser methods of
culture than those which were com
mon nnder the regime of slavery, the
habit of attempting to cultivate too
many acres still prevails to a great
extent. Those who have abandoned
it are experiencing the benefits of this
feature of reform, and we hope the
day is not distant when those who
yet cling to the practice will discover
its folly.
It should be the policy of every one
to adjust the number of acres to the
available force of the farm, so that, by
reasonable industry, the whole may
be cultivated well. This will certain
ly result, relatively, in larger and
more excellent products than a great
er area imperfectly cultivated.
There is something more to be
done than the mere planting, plowing
aud hoeing of the crop, ifi order to
successful agriculture. The prepara
tion of the land by ditching, breaking
up and fertilizing is not only essen
tial, but should be provided for in the
calculation of the work of oach year.
The farmer who collects the materials
and makes the composts for his own
fields, is not only rendered secure
against the possible frauds of the ven
ders of fertilizers, but adds to his soil
that which is enduring in its influence
and satisfying in its results. When
an acreage which requires the con
stant work of all available labor, for
cultivation aud harvesting, is set
apart for the year, the very essential
item of making and applying home
manures is sure ro be overlooked.—
Tho common practice of paying high
prices for commercial fertilizers of un
certain character, aud sprinkling them
in bills or rows, is by no means an
equivalent for the use of domestic
manures. One stimulates for a sea-
sou--the other bocomes a real addi
tion to the soil.
Time spent in the actual and per
manent improvement of the land is
more wisely speut, even with an acre
age somewhat too small, than that
which is devoted to the reckless cul
tivation of an extensive area. While
either extreme is unwise, it is better
to fall below a right cstiraato of the
possibilities of tho available force
with the advantages of thorough fer
tilization from tho compost beds, aud
thorough culture, than to take on so
many acres that both the land and
the crop are injuriously treated.—
Proper attention to preparation aud
cultivation will cause one acre to pro
duce perhaps more than two under
less favorable treatment. In tbe for
mer cose the farmer is not only gath
ering an ample harvest, but is making
the land more valuable intriusically;
in the latter, labor is strained to its
utmost tension, horses are overwork
ed, and the land itself impaired by
slovenly preparation and culture.—
The poorest lands, with a clay foun
dation, may be permanently enriched
to the highest degree by the applica
tion of domestie manures for a suc
cession of years; and it is equally true
that good land may be impoverished
by its improvident culture. The mak
ing or tbe destruction of soil should
be taken into account in all estimates
of tbe results of farming.
When the agriculturalists of tho
Southern States awake to the impor
tance of limiting the area for cultiva
tion so that time may be allowed for
snch details as concern the real im
provement of their lands, they will
not only have the satisfaction of more
Then, by reasonable industry, they
will be enabled to keep their farms in
condition for present profitable nse,
and likewise as productive heritages
for their children. Each farmer must
be the judge of the number of acres
his force can cultivate well, keeping
in view the work necessary for pre
paring- and applying domestic ma
nures, and for making such ditches
as are required to prevent the wash
ing away of the soil. It will be a glo
rious period for Southern agriculture
when the policy herein commended is
universally enforced, and we long for
the coming of that day. If this gen
eration and tbe next eannot repair tbe
rain which was wrought by our fath
ers, in the reckless cultivation of their
lands with slave labor, it is impossi
ble to stay the work of destruction
and preserve and improve that which
escaped as onr heritage. Let this
subject bo seriously and wisely con
sidered, and acted upon, by every til
ler of tbe soil
She Thonslit U was ber Brother, but

About dusk Mr. Hendricks had oc
casion to call at the mansion of an es
teemed friend, who had, among other
worldly possessions, two or three very
fine daughters. He hnd scarcely
knocked at tbe door when it was
opened by one of those blooming
maidens, who, as quick as thought,
threw her arms around bis nock, and
before bo hnd time to say “Oh,
don’t!” pressed her warm, delicate
lips to his, aud gave biin as sweet a
kiss ns ever swain desired or de
served. In utter astonishment, the
worthy gontlemau was endeavoring to
stammor out something, when the
damsel exclaimed:
“Oh, mercy, mercy! Mr. Hen
dricks, is this yon? I thought it was
my brother Charley.”
“Pshaw,” thought the gentleman to
himself, “you didn’t think any such
thing!” But, taking her hand, he
snid, in a forgiving tone: “There’s no
harm done—dou’t give yourself any
uneasiness; though you ongbt to be a
little more careful.”
After this gentlo reproof, ho was
ushered in the parlor by the maiden,
who, ns she came to the light, could
not conccnl the deep blush that glow
ed upon hor cheeks, while the bouquet
that was pinned upon hor bosom
shook like a flower garden in an
earthquake. When he rose to depart
it fell to her to wait upon him-to the
door; and it may be added that they
there bold discourse together for some
minutes, on what subject it is Dot for
us to sny. As tho warm-hearted youth
plodded homeward, ho argued with
himself in this wise:
“ Miss Allen knew - it was I who
knocked at the door, or how did she
recognize me before I spoke ? And is
it probable that her brother would
knock before ontering ? She mast be
desperately in—pshaw! Why, if she
loves a brother at that rate bow must
she love a husband ? For, by the great
squash, I never felt such a kiss in my
life.”
Three weeks after tbe incident
above described, Mr. Hendricks was
married to Miss Allen. Did she ever
confess that the kissing was not a mis
take? Probably not
