THB-VOUNG FABMEB. Mil. J. F. Jones, Boganivlle, Gl,, I® Home ® nt * Farm. < I ttm prompted to write on this sub ject from the reason of the general failure of that class of farmers, and tl„. of snob unsuccessful efforts are pi 11n!y to be seen. Of late I hnve bee., replying, with all the pains that I could, to quite a number of letters from young and new beginners, and in nearly every instance the complaint was that farming did not pay them. Now one of the saddest sights I |?now of is to seo a young man who has been taught to look down on manual labor on a farm ns a low call ing, aud after having gone into the store, counting room or some ^other high-toned profession, by some usu al fault finds his capital wasted—as his wages had not been sufficient to support him and move him in the so ciety that he desired—is necessarily obliged to foil bock on bis parents or hunt up employment on a farm.— There is always an opening there, and whon all else fails, arrangements can be made in some way for at least one year’s snpport I have never known nny man to fail to obtain subsistence in some way that would willingly labor on a farm, for a time at least, until the landlord or merchant found out that such and snoh a one would not toil; and should ho commence right, his dependence on others would be of short duration. When a man fails at everything else ho onn farm. But there lies the great secret. He don’t go to farming as long as he has a dollar or can find somotbing else to do; and the fact of his commencing his farm without funds, and having long prices to pay on time for what he is compelled to have, he seldom can gain a profit. At once ho be comes more or less discouraged, and if lie has sufficient nervo to try again under similar circumstances, the same result gives him such a perfeot disgust for the business that, without The alligator’s mode of obtaining living is thus described: “He is a la zy dog, and instead of hunting some thing to eat, he lets his victuals bunt for aim. That is, he lies with his thinking of the enuso of fnilnre, he mouth open, apparently dead, like the will nbandon the farm with the un qualified opinion that thoro is no money in farming. The true version of the cnee is, ho at first did not start in time; and then, knowing but little or noth ing about the means to bo need and planB necessary to bo adopted, follow ing np his crop instead of pushing it, with not a correot idea of a single du ty in the mnnnor of economy or gain ing advantages, certainly not much eonld have been expected to result. It is the general opinion that any body can farm, and if a young man lias been ablo to obtuiu a fair educa tion, he feols that ho must go at a higher calling; that farming would causo him to sacrifice his time spent in obtaining bis odneation, the monoy it cost, and that his kuowlodge would be of no nso to him. A grander mis take never was made. It requires the most giant minds to make scientific farmers. Therefore, as is most gener ally the case, especially here at th South, all of our educated youth that has even boon raised on the farm leave it to be run by tbe'poorer and more ignorant class of whites and groes. Of these those who would make great improvements on every band can do so only to a limited ex tent, for want of that higher and bet ter education that can bring abont good results. We want, in the South, more vim in agricultural pursuits. A man that contents himself with sitting down and waiting for something to turn up, or who is satisfied to watch over an old crippled negro while he is per forming the work, will no more meet with success at farming than be would at banking or merchandising. The same skill, probably in a differ ent form, that it takes to constitute a good lawyer or teacher is certainly requited to make the good farmer.— There is but one grand principle, which applies to all alike. Then give to the farm what it deserves; put it npou un equality with other means of securing livelihoods, where it proper ly and honorably belongs, and you will find the farmer jnst ns honorable, his pursuits high-toned, bis profes sion not embarrassing, but giving him as pleasant a home and os much pleasure in his doily pursuits as the man of any other class. When I meet a man that feels no sympathy with nature, and has no taste for country life, I conclude he does ‘not know enough about the world to enjoy its beauties. And with that intelligence that is claimed for the farmer, he will be enabled to cope with all professions, bearing his misfortunes with patience, and once correcting that negligent way whioh brought them on him. He will bear bis successes with that modera tion and wisdom whioh teaches him that our greatest assistant in bring ing about such favorable aud benefi cial results is nature herself. Let ns do away then with that whim, so prevalent among our South' era youth, that it iB not honorable to follow, or desirable to learn how' to manage to a better puposo an ocen pntion that is suffering from the want of a better knowledge, and that only common people follow for a living only. Let us show to the world that it is uot only honorable to work, but blessing. Strong muscles, well de veloped manhood and unconquerable energy will cause us to dearly love the life of a farmer, and we will be doing os much, or more, for the com ing generation that anjrother mao. Farmers properly trained justly have a feeling of independence, and the whole ospeot of Southern indns try would begin to change for the better, nnd instead of that embarrass ed condition which now exists among onr fraternity, it would bo spring time in feeling at all seasons. Hotv the Alligator Doe» it. 'possum. Soon n bug crawls into it, then several gnats and a colony of mos- quitoos. The alligator don’t close bis mouth yet Ho is waiting for a whole drove of things. He does his eating by wholesale. A little later a lizard will cool himself under the shade of the upper jaw. Then a few frogs will hop up. to catch the mosquitoes. Then more mosquitoes and gnats light on tbo frogs, Finally a whole village of insects and reptiles settle down for an afternoon picnic. Then, nil at once, there is an earthquake. The big jaw falls, the alligator slyly blinks one oye, gulps down the menagerie, and opens his great front door again for more visitors.” It is said that "water will find its level." Water will find more than its level. It is singular now about water. A man may wear pants so tight that it is with difficulty he can get his legs in without sandpapering, aud yet if 'le bteps on a loose board, iu the side walk, when the walk is flooded with water, the water will squirt up bis trousers clear to the back of his neck, and make him fee) uneasy from Dan to Beersheba, when if the man should stand on his head aDd have a friend pour water in bis trousers through a funnel, it would be bard work to get it so fur. There is something sur prising about water. It goes where you least expect it Sometimes it gets into a drunkard’s stomach when he is not looking and causes surprise. People cannot be too careful about water. The farmers heeded the papers one time, and now see the grand result. Last fall every paper in the State urged the farmers to put in a heavy crop of small grain, and now look at the waving fields of golden grain from the mountains to the seaboard, and the faces of the thousands of happy husbandmen. Tbo papers do much more for tho people than tho people do for them. It costs the United States a little more than $10,000 a year to fire the sunriso and sunset guns at the sever al military and naval stations. GL0VER& DUM (SUCCESSORS TO W. T.
