Agricultural -department, Winter is on tho wane ami in Feb ruary we have a goodly share of pleasant sunshine and gardening op erations may begin with a fair pros pect of pleasing results. We repeat what we have said so often, plant cautiously. Nearly every one is fond of the sweet, juicy -English pea. Some have sown already. Some sow every ten or twelve days. Let the ground be well broken up. For early planting the Little Gem is a great favorite and so i,» Hoist's Extra Early. Both are very lucjous especially Hoist's, and both (P C .great bearers.'

Piant potatoes. None are better than the Early Rose. Plant any of the kind of seed recommended in last week's issue. Notice your last year’s Irish potato bed. If the rows have volunteers work around them and plant fresh potatoes where they ore missing. Some have only one plant ing and many of the potatoes rot where they are placed. The best plan is to have three plantings: one now, one in March, and one in April. Let the plantings he three weeks a- part, then when the first give out, the 2nd and 3rd plantings will ho ready for use in the order of gathering. This saves loss from decaying- Cabbage seed are usually planted for draws to set out. Many now, merely thin out. Every one should have long collards in abundance for winter use. They are as good as cab bages after several frosts. Some sow turnips now, for early spriag use. They must be sown in July or Au gust for winter use. Get good garden manuals which give abundant direc tions for every kind of vegetables. They tell when to sow and how to manage. We have planted extra early corn in February and had roast ing ears on the table by the first of April. Every vegetable can be had for months, by sowing and planting every two weeks. Wehave had corn on the table after several frosts. We have referred to these garden matters for inexperienced young people, and not for the experienced and older persons who know as much about gardening as we do and some of them more. Formers in the South can make all the butter they need. Make careful selection of good milkers and never let a milch cow he poor in the early spring. Feed, then, and for a long time, will go to giving her flesh ana strength and hut little milk. This should he remembered. Many feed their poor mileh cows high in the spring months, and are surprised at the small quantity of milk given. The reason is the high feed then goes into the poor cow s Uesh and not Into the milk. The people of Georgia can make all tile meat they require much cheaper than they can buy it, and by careful attention they can raise their own horses. This would enable them to stand better the high tariff tax upon clothing and the implements of husbandry. They could save a great deal by taking better care of the lat ter. And it becomes all who are in debt, or iu very moderate circumstan ces, to take good care of everything they buy in that line, or for clothing and comfort. The fax on rice is over 100 per cent, gloss from 55 to 100, iron between 58 and 00, paints from 05 to ‘450, salt about 70, molasses and su gar from 50 to nearly 100, blankets from 70 to 100, flannels 70 odd. These are only a few of the exorbitant per cents put upon a great variety of arti cles. The high per cents exclude the foreign goods, anil the manufacturers in this country, get the benetit of the tax. For every dollar received by the United States Treasury, the ina.ii- ufacturies get four, and the agricultu rists get nothing. Indeed they pay indirectly tlie greater portion of the whole tax in purchasing the goods at the high prices of the manufacturers. Much reason there is for us to advise the farmers to buy as little as possible so as to diminish the tax upon them to the greatest possible extent. A little potash or potasli salts added to the fertilizers used, give a valuable increase to the production of all the grains. Crop Rotation. There can ho no set system of crop rotation adapted to any and all cir cumstances. The composition of the soil, tlie character of tiie climate and the condition of the market must all he taken into consideration. Hence, no man should rush blindly into the operation, trusting to blundering and luck for success. Those farms situated near large markets with cheap and frequent communica tion, and for which good supplies of manure can he easily obtained, are often devoted to the growth of those particular products which meet with the most ready sale in the market so close at baud, and here a (Ixed system of rotation would he of little account. But there are principles to be observ ed in changing from one crop to an other; for example, among the best market gardnert* it has been well un derstood that cabbages, turnips and peas should not he grown on tho same piece of land without an Inter val, although they have been grown successfully for several seasons with out u change. When the change is made it should be tho aim to put in crops that are quite different in their demands upon tlie soil.—American Cultivator. A Clear Statement. Southern Cultivator Among the great number and varie ty of farm products on exhibition in thi lie Department Hall none more de serve the attention of progressive farmers than the very line stalks of cotton. Only two days since Dr. J. J. Hearing, of Newton county, brought in a stalk which contained (actual count) 3(10 perfect open bolls of cot ton. It is claimed by the grower that the bolls will weigh eighty to tho pound, and that the seed cotton will yield forty per cent, of lint. The bolls being of full size and the soe.l evi dently very small the claim is reason able, and probably not overthb mark. Let us '‘calculate'' a little; Three hundred and sixty bolls at eighty to the pound will yield 4.‘25 pounds of seed cotton, (it forty per cent, of lint, this would give 1:7 pounds of lint. Assume that such cotton would re quire a distance of 1x4 feet, and we would have on one acre, stalks, which nt 1:7 pounds of lint to each •t.r mg.' i Minds ■hales re- ob- stalk wi. iTTl aggivgnti of lint, or nearly i> n nv bra">tton, ns the 1 icld i !' one uei Doe.- anybody An ;ht that sue suit i practically attainable'.' ably lint nt the present stag" of cot ton cal: ic.; hut it \vyplil not surprise bile v. rin r if the skillful cotton farm er of lie next generation shall accom plish the feat.

JOSEPH MILLER Mo. 15 WnVJie Street. IX .. . , 1. 1. ' AIilledgeviile, Cm Vo. 17 Smith Wuiinr Si. T. WHITE & CO No "lass of cattle has met with greater favor in tlie South than the Jersey. Southern farmers are not likely to become producers of beef, hut milk and butter are necessary everywhere, and for these for family use the Jersey is unexcelled. Jersey cows are natives of a milder climate than our Northern winter, and in the sunny South tlie fact that their but ter is of liner texture than that from other cows is no inconsiderable advan tage.—American Cultivator. The estimated value of California crops of dried fruits, raisins, prunes, nuts and honey for 1885 was $3,500,000. The Southern states could make a valuable sum to their gains by adding honey to their productions. The pe can tree is found to yield bountifnlly in Georgia and other Southern states and should be extensively cultivated for profit.

It should generally he arranged to have heifers drop their first calf in April or May. At this time they come into flow of milk when green food is abundant, and this lias a good effect in enlarging the milk glands and thus increasing the tendency to great milk production through ' all their after life. By the last United States census, it appears that 777,350,287 pounds of butter were made on tlie farm, 10,471,- 103 pounds in factories, and 12,950,021 in skim-cheese factories, a total of 800,072,071 pounds. At 25 cents a pound the value was $301,008,005. Stone fruits are much improved and more certain by manuring with potash, peaches especially. Manure the roots with wood ashes or mu riate of potash. They are also a remedy for the yellows. Manuring corn with commercial fertilizers furnishes corn for use a week or ten days earlier than where stable manure alone is used. Tills good result is effected by mixing them it de sired. ASTONISHING SUCCESS.
