overcropping.
The greatest evil of Southern agri
culture is overcropping, planting a
greater number of acres than can l>o
properly prepared and cultivated
Tuo small, tidy farm—that is one
which, in all its arrangements, is just
largo enough and no more for tbo force
that is to cultivate it is rarely seen.
Such farms are "few and far between.”
'The rough-and-tumble plantations that
wo see in every direction, where disor¬
der seems the presiding genius of the
place are mainly duo to overcropping,
i !m great fundamental maxim of ali
true agriculture that production must
be in proportion to tillage is either not
known or Is forgotten upon, such farms
and in its stead is adopted the maxim
that production is in proportion to the
quantity of surface to which the rude
arid unshapely counterfeit of till ge is
given. To obtain as much as possible
from tho number of acres a hand can
cultivate thoroughly, and to attempt
to cultivate no more than can be made
to yield the maximum of profitable
production, should be the main object
of every farmer's labor and skill. Uu
til we become satisfied to cultivate a
smaller surface and to bring to bear
on all the varied operations and pro¬
cesses of that cultivation more practical
science and- experimental knowledge,
the “best means of preparation, the best
arrangements to guard against the
yi ia3itud3s of weather, the attainment
of the greatest quantity and quality < f
aereable productions, can never be
reached. A large crop front thorough
cultivation, is invariably the most ad¬
vantageous- It demonstrates the skill

farmer who exhibits it in dollars and
cents, and beneficial in example to all
who see it.
GRApE STOCK.
A correspondent writes us that he
has a good opportunity to pur,chase
advantageously an almost pure bred
Short Horn bull which he describes as
V. beautiful animal in every particular
and asks us to tel! him weather lie
would tlo well to buy him. We answer
that if his object is to taiso improved
weedyise him not to buy the
hull at any price. lie may be as
"beatifui an animal as ho ip described,
bat his calves will probably he scrubs,
reproducing all the stains in their sire's
blood. Such an animal does great
injury to a neighborhood.
Wiiii on this subject we would cor¬
rect too common error of supposing
that “grade” and “cross" in stock
raising -won one and the same thing.
A grade is the product of a full-blood
bull and a common cow. A cross is
the on-duet of a full blood sire of one
or* t —sa an Ayrshire—and a thor
oc ghbred cow of another, say a Devon
or a Durham.
An; body can tarnish the reputa'ion
if an* .T-r, however pure and good, by
uttering r. suspicion or an innuendo I
which his enemies will credit, and his |
friends never hear. A single puff of I

undo.
