Men who can tell vc.u just how a thing should be done frequently lack the capacity to do it themselves or have others to do it under their direc tion. The thing called -‘executive power,” how far-reaching and im portant in every avocation! How indispensable to the farmer! He must manage laborers, stocks, ma chines, manures, Boils, crops of various kinds; he must fight cold, beat, storms, rains, floods,drought, in- eects, blights, rusts, mildews and blasts. A great many distinct things must be made to work together for a given eud. How multifarious the op erations which finally terminate in a bale of cotton or a bushel ef corn 1 And yet we are told that any one can be a farmer. Yes, any one can put seeds lu the ground, any oue can hoe grass, any ooe can walk behind a plow—but is that all? When to plant, how to plant, what to plant ; when to plow, how to plow. What breadth of knowl edge, what discriminating judgment do these demaud! Let the youths who lack these qualities go to the cities; the country has no place for them. But to matters now directly in band. The planting of the cotton crop con fronts us—shall it be early or late? Opinions difler. V\ here experience fails to decide we can only appeal to general principles. It is quite certain that plants have some degree of plas ticity—that they are modified to some extent by climatic conditions. Seed of early corn fr m the North, planted in the South for several years, without a fresh importation, acquires a later habit ol maturing. How is this? The plant cannot be conceived of as having an intelligence which enables it to an ticipate the greater length of our sea sons and regulate its growth accor dingly ; and yet it behaves just as if it had such intelligence. Again, our native corn, planted very early in the spring, tends toproduce smaller stalks but larger ears than that planted late in the season. May not a similar ten dency develop In eariy-plauted cotton ? The cold of early spring chiils this tropical plant ami threatens its de struction. Tnreut of extermination al ways quickens the reproductive pro cess in plants. The little cockle-burr which comes up late in the summer, even thougli it does not grow more than six inches high, will have a bloom and mature a seed. In the tropics cot ton grows almost into a tree, but pro duces little fruit; in temperate zones it is dwarfed in size, bu> increased in fruitfulness. May It not be that the chilling it gets in early spring predis poses it to fruitfulness? It would seem that young plants very soon fix the style of growth they are to keep up dur ing the season. If they start out to make a large, luxu iaut stalk they seem to strive to carry it out to the end. Our individual experience has been in favor of early-planted cotton. It does not grow oil quite as well, and is consequently somewhat harder to work, but fruits belttr, opens early and can be housed and sold early in the season. Then,again,early planting is more apt to bring good stands, for there is then usually enough moisture in the Boil still to bring the plant up; later it is apt to be too dry. After trying “planters” and other modern modes of planting cotton, we have gone back to the old-time method of covering seed with a good list by a double-foot plow and either knocking off with a board or leveling down with a harrow. Cotton seed will not come up through a thick covering of earth, but they will sprout and get ready to come up when thus covered, and will appear above the surface promptly when the superfluous dirt is removed by a board or barrow. Bear in mind, this knocking off or harrowing is not labor lost; it is really equivalent to a first working. For two years we have tried the broadcast harrowing of cotton with a smoothing harrow. It was done the first time just as the cotton began to come up. The harrow was run obliquely across the rows. About a week later it was run again at right anglls to the first. It may be run squarely across the rows,but never up and down them, for in the latter case it would almost certaiuly injure the stand. Where the laud was clean and free from obstructions, the work was very satisfactory; even whore land was not perfect 1." clean, the stand was not much injured. If no rain has fallen since toe soil was stirred by the plow, the harrow tends to run too deep; where the soil iB crusted it works finely. If one does uot use a harrow the scrape should be started just as soon as the first cottou makes its appear ance. The wing next the cotton should be set perfectly flat and the cotton sided so closely thut the two furrow's almost meet. Very little dirt willbe thrown on the young cotton, and even if some is, it will not inter fere seriously with its coming up. (Should the ground be crusted, the crust will be broken; moreover, the grass which usually comes up with the cotton, will be killed. Nothing contributes more to the easy, pleasant working of a cotton crop than to be gin plowing it early and plowing it of ten in the early stages of growth. We generally leave too much for the hoe to do. By runnio 0 the plow early, properly aud ofteu, the hoe-work may be greatly reduced. • Oue thingis very clear, that unless the cost of produc tion can be reduced there will be very little profit in cotton at present prices. As sojn as cotton planting is finish ed, early-planted corn will be ready for its first-working. If planted in water-furrows, manure may now be dropped near the hill of corn, and the first plowing will cover it up. In this case also set the wing of scrape next the corn so it will run very fiat and throw only a moderate quantity of dirt into the water-furrow and about the corn. It is quite injurious to corn to dirt it heavily when it is young, and force it to throw out new roots near the surface before it is ready to <tp eo. Corn natually throws out new circles of roots at successive joints, toe set above the other, but not all at once. A considerable interval of time elapses between the formation of suc cessive whorla^of roots. But deep dirting Interferes with the course of nature and causes new roote to form prematurely. Again, by only partial ly filling the water-furrow at the first working, more dirt is thrown inth it at the second working, and covers and smothers grass most thoroughly, dis pensing with all hoe-work. Where corn is not planted in water-furrow we have found it an excellent plan to use a twister or turniDg-shovel, and starting in center of middles bed up with bar side next the corn. The last furrow can be run very near the corn, dirting it lightly, but enough to eover np young grass effectually if it is doDe early enough. We contend that a hoe need neVer enter a cornfield. Such ■ aiding gives a good opportunity to put manure on each side of corn to be cov ered at the next working. We repeat the recommendation heretofore given to supplement the corn crop with one of the recently in troduced millets orsorghums, as kaffir corn or millo maize. Kaffir corn is nothing like ordinary corn; it resem bles millo maize, but has a dwarfer habit and matures earlier. It and millo maize have been widely adver tized as forage crops; we value them more for their seed* which are about as valuable as cow lot stock cultivated the latter, we may say, itn culture is similar to that of ordinary s«rg b u m—nothing peculiar or difficul t about it. Raising supplies at home is the foremost and most important of all problems to the cotton-raiser. It is useless to attempt improvement of any kind until the farm is made self- supporting. lie will certainly fail if he buys provisions. The experience of the last twenty years has most thoroughly demonstrated this. Go where you will, the men who raise supplies at home are the prosperous farmers. Their lands are not mort gaged. They cro not have to ask mer chants to run them. For this reason we Btress every crop which will help the farmer to raise the provisions he needs; kaffir corn and millo maize strike us as veiy promising grain-pro ducing crops. They are generally ex tolled as forage plants; we do not prize them highly for that; ordinary corn sown in drills has no superior as a forage plant. If one will manage it properly there is no occasion to hunt up any other crop as a substitute. It is urged upon every farmer, who is at all short of forage, or likely to be, to sow a good breadth of land in drilled corn this month. It may be sown at any time from April to August, but the early sowings are the most satis factory—most apt to succeed. Pre pare the land very thoroughly by re peated plowings, rollings and harrow ings; make drills four feet apart to admit plenty of air and light; sow seed so that grains may be from two to three inches apart, and when up cultivate with sweep. Some think forage corn should be sown very thickly to make' the stalks small Of coarse very large stalks are objec tionable, but if each plant has not the opportunity of developing itself pretty thoroughly, the forage will lack qual ity; it will be tasteless and not relish ed by stock. Each stalk ought to have sufficient opportunity to enable it to make a little nubbin, and the crop should not be gathered until the little nubbin is in roasting ear. Another very valuable food crop, which may be started the last of this month, is German millet. It is an exceedingly strong, nutritious forage —stronger perhaps than any other, unless exception be made of clover bay and pea-vines. Whilst It may not equal these in some respects, it is a better balanced food. It calls for rather rich land, -but grows well on pqor land when manured and proper ly prepared. Stable manure, cotton seed meal, ammoniated fertilizers or composts will answer. The land should be prepared, as described above, for drilled corn, a half bushel of seed sown on an acre and very lightly harrowed in and then rolled All small seeds, which must be plant ed shallow, should be rolled after they are harrowed in. It insures both more prompt aud more certain germi nation of the seed.. Remember that German millet should be cut prompt ly as soon as blooms appear; the seed form and mature very quickly after the bloom, unusually so, and it is not desirable to let the seed mature. They are so small that if they are not properly masticated, may swell in the stomach and do harm, orelse passthrough undi gested and are lost. The extreme ease with which this millet is cut and cured also commends it to our high esteem; it' has a decided advantage over corn forage in this respect. Increased interest has been devel oped of late in the groundpea crop on account of the introduction of the va riety termed “Spanish.” We do not know its origin or history, but on'trial have found it a very excellent variety, The pods fill well, and cluster largely around the main root, making the dig ging of them quite easy. On suitable laud, that is rather sandy and with ltkie in the soil, the groundpea is very valuable adjunct to the food crops of the farm. Scarcely anything is better for fattening pork, and as farmers are much more disposed to raise their meat than they formerly were, we commend this crop to their attention also. It should be planted at once; it is better to shell and plant the seed out of the hull; they will come up more quickly; drop at least two in a hill; rows three feet apart and bills two feet in the row. In this connection the sweet potato should receive attention. The large, early varieties, like the St. Domingo yam, and the closely allied red skin with yellow flesh, are unsurpassed as ling feed. If the slips are pat out the first ot May, bogs may be turned on them by the first of September, or ear lier; be kept on them till the middle of October, and then turned upon the groundpeas, and by theend of Novem ber be ready for the knife. It is a mis take to suppose that farmers cannot raise their meat to advantage at the present low pricesof bacon. A farmer can raise almost anything that he needs on his farm cheaper than he can buy it. In the matter of meat, all that is requited is that Jie should arrange pr- -perly for it—not depend exclusively, or even largely, on the corn-crib. Graz ing lots, Bermudaand clover, Johnson grass lots for hogs to feed upon root stocks of in winter, plum orchards, wild cherries, seedling peach trees, acorns, persimmons, etc., together with potatoes, peas and groundpeas, present a cheap, inexpensive bill of fare upon which hogs can be very eas ily raised and fattened. We are not enterprisingenough; we work on from year to year lu the same old ruts, rais ing corn and cotton and little else, and trusting to the cotton crop to supply all our wants. Year after year we have failed, hat hope never dies. The fault is in the seasons, or the guano dealers, or the merchants, or something else; we are blind to the fact that it is chief ly in ourselvesand our methods. We give a thousand excuses forour failure, but never the right one. Now, before it is too late, put some of the land you had prepared for cotton In sweet pota toes, some in groundpeas, some in Kaffir corn, some, in German millet and some in forage corn. The One-Horse Farmer. Farmer’s Magazine.] ' The one-horse farmer has a life-long ambition to gain a reputation for wearing a dirty shirt. He will alarm the neighbors by get ting np two hours before day, then sit around and not go to work until after sun rise. He will ride around a week looking for a |2 hog. He will complain of hard times, then tear his pants climbing a fence where a gate ought to be. He will pay three dollars for a new bridle, then let the calf chew it to pieces before Sunday. He will get all his neighbors to help in getting the cow oat of the bog, then let her die for want of attention. Stock will get in and destroy his crop at a place in the fence that he has been putting off fixing for six months. He will strain his back lifting some thing to show how strong he is. He will talk all day Sunday about wiiat he knows about fanning, then ride around the neighborhood Monday hunting seed potatoes.

For the relief and cure of the in flammation ami congestion called "a cold in the head” there is more p<> teucy in Ely’s (.’ream Balm than any thing else it is.possiole to prescribe. This preparation has for years past been making a brilliant success as a remedy for cold in the head, catarrh and bay fever. Used in the initial stages of these ' complaints Cream Balm prevents any serious develop ment of the symptoms, while almost numberless cases are on record of radical cures of chronic catarrh and bay fever after all other modes of treatment have proved of no avail. SprtDg work on the farm is begin ning and there is nothing of more im portance than good tools and imple ments, and they ought to be kept in first-class order. A good thing for a farmer to do at this season of the year is to look over his stock of tools, ma chinery and implements, and put all in first-class order. Do this by clean ing them perfectly; see that the wood work is complete in all respects; ex amine every bolt and nut, and replace all that are badly worn; if needed, use a liberal portion oi paint as a preserva tive. The best article to olean off the grease from runniug parts Is kerosene or benzine, and then a liberal appli cation of cotton waste. If you have found you need any particular imple ment, 'ake toe time to see where yon can get the best one and secure it in season. EXCITEMENT IN’ TEXAS.
