When the impropriety of each an operation was suggested, he said: ???Ob, nol no Barm In dat,???not when yer certain ter Win I???no rlak in dat tame!'' If the cotton plnterr wasanro he would win in crop and price, he would bo in a aafer line of morale than tbe aforementioned darkey. Experience teaches us that almost every crop falla to near totality once In seven or eight years. It is uot in the massof human! ty to accnmulafe during the years of plenty and provide for the years o'f famine. When abundance comet they think every season will be as this. Hers is their sin j they risk too mneh. When the cotton fails In quantity or price tbe farmer is almost entirely ruined, He either yielda the struggle, or it is a long light with debt and probable deteat at tbe end. Some sections of land are peculiarly adapt ed to cotton, others to corn, others to wheat, etc, If the mere production were the only question, common sense would say, plant cotton In the place where It would best grow and mature, place corn In tbe aoll wnlch promises highest development, and small grain where land and cllmata promise the largest crops; but in these problems the markets, the transportation,promptaales with little waste are all important factors. These sometimes reduco to nanght the farmer???s calculations, after a large sum of productions. ... TuxCossTiTtmotr, I see, has been urgl: diversity of produce on the farm. There wisdom in it, a wl.e financier will not risk all his property on oue venture. I believe it Is a common charge of tbe masters of tbe wranie. that each patron should mske his own supplies at hume. This in Its lltersl sente won d hardly be possible and certain ly not a wise venture. 1 cannot think it ???mod policy for the farmer in southern Geor gia to attempt Iba culture of wheat, or even corn on tbtn pine lands. Even tbe making of bis own bsoon may be questionable policy; yet it does seem to tue that nature has specially designed that region for abundaut production of stick. It is a region blessed be yond all others in ils mild, pleasant climate, and the abuodsntgrowtu of natures food for cattle. Herein Tennessee, after thorough preparation of tbe laud and careful seeding we gather only from one aud a ha'f to two and a bait tons, per acre, of hay which is apt to be woody anil nut very aweet. From much lighter lands in middle Geor gia I hove seen a much larger quantity of Bermuda bay p r acre produced without seeding or cu ture. It is also noar known ute lb. ox's meat as well-s ttte borse'e muscle tre smoke fi'ls the woods obont with a b.ue to bring money to the coff.rs J. W. Glut*, Knoxville, lenn. FARM LI FEIN NEW ENGLAND. that this hay Is of a quality far superior to timothy and clover; and when green ur cured, it makes lb- sweetest and richest milk and butter in the world. It yields the very beat of parturage lor cattle and mules from early soring to la'O fall, and if bogs ate placed on it during the wln'er, they wilt gather* large amount of nutriment from the root stocks protected from 'he frost by running under ground. The growing season is so long there, that two good crops may be gathered from the same land during one year. After the oat. are harvested com for ensilage may be plant' d, cultivated, infflcienlly matured and Disced in the alio before the first frost. A silo would cost little and tbe oats straw may be used fur either food or bedding. Thus with a crop of,o*ta, a small meadow for hay at a mtoimnun of expense, and large bermuda pastures, which once sat cost noth ing oracarcely nothing. the farmer Is pre- pafedtoeany s herd ..(ctutte and some other stock through the entire year. I once met a On ene county farmer hunting anew olaotatiun becauseblaon the Oconee riverbed been captured by the bermuda ^Much of the summer was spent In this search for cotton land and in a trip to north.

Robinson ) Winter is fairly upon us at last, though by inch gradual approaches hat It come that we are hardly aware of i>a presence, for its while seal is not yet set upon the earth. Till then we have a feeling that iba fall la not over. Tbe mud of tbe highways is turned to stone, the bare gray trees and dun fields have no semblance of life in them and tbe dull, cold sky and tba black green pine* and bemlncka look colder'ban snow. Tbe Thanksgiving turkey baa been disposed of and the young folk* begin to counbthe days to Christmas. The old boose has been ???banked" for weeks, msking the cellar a rayless dungeon, from which cider and winter npplea are now brought furth lo help while away tbe long evenings. At no time of the day is tbe fire's warmth nnwelmme. Bat no anew has come except in brief flurries; and the cnttlesreout on the meadows in tbe daytime,cropping the withered aftermath, and ins sheep are yet in pas'urea or airsying in the bordering woods. But now eomrs an afternoon with a breath less chill in it??????a hard, dull bitternm of cold;" when the gray sky settles down upon tbe earth, covering, firs', the blur, far-away pall, then the nearer through which the'r rough outlines show but dimly and are quite hidden when the coming snow-fall makes trees In the woods and roads and fence ??? jnnd begin sowly to ten and houghs aud twigs are traced with a fault white outline against a gray bank- ground. and the dull yellow of the fields grow paler under the falling snow and a fl ick of enow birds drift acroes the fading landscape like larger enoaflake*. Tbe nightfall cumes early, and going out on tbe back stoop you find yourself ou a little island in a great aea of tufs'y whiteness, out of wnich looms dimly tbe du-ky barn, with iia freight of live stock, grain and bay, tbe'only ship within ball. Aroused next morning by tbestampin feet of ibe first rlssrs, who have gone fortl to explore, we find'list a new world seem, to have drifted to ns while we were lyinf fast anchored to tbe old chimney. Roofs are heaped and fences coped anil trees are whiter than in May with bloom with the unlveissl soow. Tbe great farm wagon, atandiug half- hub deep in it, looks as out of plans as if a*' sea. Tbe dazed fowls prer wonderingly from tbe poultry house or, adventuring abort trips therefrom, stop bewl'dered midway in their journey. Presently tbe gray objects, rising out of the strange white exptuse, take ou more familiar shapes, and we recognize tbe barn, tbe orchard (though it has au unsub stantial look, as if toe first wind might blow it awsy or an hour's warm sunshine melt It) tbe well known trees, the neighbors??? homes, ihe faint lines of the fences tracing tbe boundaries of fields and farms, tbe woods sad beyond them the unchanged outlines o! 'traded hills and tbe far away mountains, bnt with a new raggrdness in meir sides and with new clearings, till now unknown, show- ' g forth in white patches on their slopes. e may take our time, for we shall have long months in which to get acquainted with this changed world. Tbe first day of snow is a bu*y one. If the snow fall Is great, there are paths to be shov eled to ihe out buildings and wagons to be housed and sh igus to be got and made ready and many little jobs, put off from time to time, to be attended to. Perhaps there are oung cattle, homeless and uufed in tbe onl- ot. lowing piteonsly, to be brought to winter quarters ana sheep to be brought home from tbeir pasture. Happy are tbe ooys if to them is allotted this task, for tbe sheep are sure to have sought the shelter of the woods, and, in tbe wood*, what strange sights may sot be seen I With trowssrs tied at ankle the, trudge across tbe white fields, pathless am uutracked, save where old Dobbin, scorning barnyard end shelter, with whitened bac c and lciclrd sides, paws sway tbe snow down to the withered grass, which ho crops *1 h as gieat apparent relish as if it was the herbage of June. With an much to Interest them the boys almost forgot thrlr errand, till they come upon tbe falot trail of the sheep. Slow! working this out, they at last find the floe wandering aimlessly about, nibbling such twigs and withered leaves as are wllbln their reach. Their sojourn in the woods, brief os It baa been, has given them back something of tbe original wildness of tbeir race They mistrust man of evil design! against tneul when they meet him in tbe woods, sod run from ihe sheep call, 'cadayl os-day I??? which would bring them in an eager tbroog about tbe caller in tbe open fields. Bntclvilisstion baa made them dependent, as it bas their masters, and they flee homeward tor safety, and the boys follow them out through the snowy arches of the woods to the pasture and so home to the anug quarter* where they are ipaasihedrad months. The first foddering Is bestowed In the racks, and all tha woolly crew (all to with a wtlland a bury snapping of many Jtws. And an, at nine In the morning, and at three In the after noon, are they to be fed till the pastures are green again in Uay. A pleasant thing to look upon Is an old gray barn with Its clustering (beds, straw- stacks and well-fenced yarda; In Ibis, the cat tle taking tbeir day'a outing from the etable; feedi in that, tbe ebeep obewlng tbe cud With cattle and ahe-p, a-- ???y In the lower portion; with cotton nud era*., rorn and small gram and various kinds of. itock In the middle and upper portion, It does seem to me that the fsrmtr wonld have a more prosperous and certainly a much leu *"oo?ton growing t* a never ending labor and very exhausting to toil, muscle and brain, ft does term wiser to engage capital and labor in a crop where nature lends more assistances Rt,r if uot bay, will command tha cub as vmoIIv u cotton which is the main argument firths Isrge production of tha la'ter A out of the old fields, now wubmg away de voted to beitnoda grass will give a better re turn than some of the cotton fielda Please understand I do not urge tba aban donment of cotton; but would say, redoes the ares, make the soil more productive, and biki and a pungent fragsnee. Mere, now, c-mes the farmer, mounted on his stunt sled with its long wood rack, driv ing his sleaming horses, which h?? blankets while be nukes bis load. His sled laden,the farmer leaves the regicide to his slaughter and wends bis creaking way homeward along the gray pillared arcade of tbe narrow, wind ing wood road, whose brushy border scrapes and clatters against the jsgaetl load as it pastes. This and tbe n'lilflrd tread of the horses and the creaking of tbe runners In the snow,tbe fainter growing ax stroke* and now and then the booming downfall of a great tree, are tbe few sounds that break tbe win ter stilinm of the woods. The partridge looks down on him from its safe perob in the thick branched hemlock. A hare bounds across the rosil before him as while and silent u the snow benrsth its feet An unseen fox steals awsy wi'h noiseless footsteps. Driving ontof the sheltering woods into the wind swept fields, here through deep-drifted hoi lowr, there over ridges blown so nearly bsre that the bleached grass nearly rustles above the thin snow, be (area homeward nr to the well beaten highway and by it to the market in the village or at the railroad, Tne hay tor market is burned in bulk to the large stationers pres-u on the ltn* of tbe railroad or pres??ed into bales by portable presses sat up at barns or stacks and tbe bales then drswn to tbe point of delivrry. This Is the work of fall, winter or spring as the case may bs The laborious pastime of breaking colts is now in order aod the younger ones are broken to the baiter, tbe older to harness, often in theabafteof a primlrira sleigh com monly known as a '???jumper," each thill and runner nf which is formed of one lough tap- cut half way through, with a wide hntcb at tbe point where runner beoomes thill. The boys may take a pull at the long bal'er of the stubborn youngster, bnt a stronger hand than theirs must give the two year old or three year old initiatory lessons in his life of labor. Intunh pursuits the day passes till fodder ing time comes, when tbe aheep racks are cleared nf ???one" which are thrown outside the yard for Dobbin to glean from and the sheep fuddered afresh from the mow. Tbe cows are stabled and fed. The clamor of tbe s cea*ea as tbeir troughs are filled with ...ill. The horses are cared for, tbe night's wood carried in and then with supper begins tbe long winter evening The bustling hired girl clears the table and washes the dlshea with tremendous clatter, S lvrs the kitchen its last sweeping for tbe ay and then, If she has not dnogh to knead for the morrow's baking, makes herself tidy and settles hereelf comfortably to her sewing. The good wife knits orsews while she ohnts with her mold or listens to tbe items her good man reads from tbe local paper; the youngsters puzxle with knitted brows over tbe sums of to-morrow's " ???ritbmetio" lesson; the hired man munches apples and smokes his pipe while he toasta bis stockinged feet at tue great cook stove, beneath which Tray and Tubby snore aud purr In peaceful unison. Though every farm house now baa its sit tins room and parlor, and most a dining room, the kitchen continues to be a favorite with farming folk???a liking probably inher ited from our grandfathers In many of their houses this was the only large room, in which the family lived and where all meals were taken, gueats entertained and merry makings held. Of all the rooms In oar farm house tbe kitchen chamber is probably tbe least changed. Ils veined and blHtered while- washed celling, low sloping at tbe sidee, still bntupsunwary heads. The great trunk that bel l grandmother's bedding when she and grandfather, newly wedded, moved Into this, then, wild country, and tha sailor great- nude???s sea???cheat, occupy tbeir old corners. Tbe little firep'see Is unchanged and on the chimney shove it bang, os of old, bundles and bags of boneset, catnip, sage, summer savory, elder root, all ... of roots and herbs for men's seasoning. There are the same low beds wrih pa ctrwork covers and by thrlr side the small squares of rag carpet???little oases for naked feet In the chill desert of tha bore floor; and tbs light comes In through the same little dormer windows through which It came seventy years ago. To Ibis dormito ry the hired man betakes himself when hll last pipe Is smoked and soon. In nasal trum pet blasts, announces his arrival in tba land of nod, to which hy nine o???clock or ao all the household have followed. So winter drags Its hoary length through dreary months, with silent snowfall, fierce storm and dassltng sunshine. Moss dwindle and slacks disappear, leaving only tbe empty pens to mark tnrir place, and cisterns lal', making the hauling of snow for melting an added task to tbo boys' duties. Duck saw and sx are each day making shorter tbe lon| pile of cord wood and greater the pile ol stove wood. (Concluded Next Week.)
