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 Took tbo Chance*. 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 Natural History for Llttlk Ones: This is a mule. He may look amiable, but he isn’t He differs from the con dor of the Andes: The condor soars— the mnle sours. That speck on tbe sky yonder is the man who attempted to climb tbe mule’s back by catching hold of his tail.

There are three prominent phases of a young womau’s life, all visibly connected: As a baby—sho is lugged; as a young woman—she is hugged; as a wife—she is humbugged. It has been decided thnt a drug gist may soil cigars on n Suudny, but. not a cigar dealer. And it’s a wise de cision, too. A druggist should not bo permitted to sell a cigar dealer oh Sunday or any other day. A poet says: “ Last night I lay be side tho winter sea.” He must have been considerably “elevated,” and saclr exposure was enough to give him inflnrnatory rheumatism, pleuropneu monia and frosted feet; but he stood loss risk of being gathered in by a po liceman than if he had lain in a gut- fer beside a lamp-post. “ Whon I grow up I’ll bo a mau, won’t I?” asked a little Austin boy of bis mother. “ Yes, my son, but if you want to be a man you must be be industrious at school, and learn how to behave yourself.” “Why, mamma, do the lazy boys tarn out to bo women when they grow up ?” A Little Rascal: A boy who bad been watching through the keyhole the antics of a conple of lovers, ran down into the kitchen to announce his discovery to his mother. “ Oh, it’s snch fan!” he exclaimed. “What’s Bnch fun ?” .gravely asked the old la dy. “Why, to see sister ‘Mollie and Mr. Fipps play lunatic asylam.—Ex.

The proprietor kept a barrel secreted in this pen, with a rubber tube leading therefrom, and when a customer wanted his jug tilled it was easily drawn. It was re ported to a revenue officer and brok en up. * Speculators in Cincinnati Musical Festival tickets got badly stuck—some os high os $1,500. One man stood at tiB door and offered for 35 cents each tickets which had cost him from $7 to $24, bnt was poshed aside, people preferring to stand at $1 rather than patronize the speculators even at re duced prices. . .
