Farming-
The following from the Marietta
Journal is full of truth and practical
good sense. Every farmer ha« felt
truth as told, in his own txperieuce,
«lid many of them have felt it most
bitterly—but, without a change of
cropping policy will feel it still more
keenly in the coming y«ar:
‘•The large demand for gtiano and
supplies on time fmnises a question
of , calculating , , reflection „ • for .
serious "

country. In i Saturdays ComtltuUon.
under , the , . head , of . ' StateHouse „ ...
iugH,’’ f notice the amount received
up to March 1st from inspection of
fertilizers is $54,400 against $41,000
last year. This ouly lacks about $!J,-
4X10 of being as much us Was received
during the whole of last year. One
hundred thousand more tags are ask¬
ed for in Savannah and 50,000 in At¬
lanta, and the prospect is fully $70,.
OdO will lie received this year from
•tLe siispeelton of fertilizers. As the
fees for inspection arc no higher than
last year, these figures show n very
Jarge increase in the quantity of fer-
tilix -rs being used. There is no com¬
parison between this year and last as
to the demand for corn and meat.
■The merchants can scarcely supply
the demand. This to some extent is
attribnlab'e to the general fa lure of the
wheat and corn crop last year But
the suddest part of the picture is, all
the fertilizers, Olid I may say three-
fonrthsof the supplies are being bought
ou time, and at piices that no farmer
cun hope to survive. The experience
of 1873 is still fresh in tl«o minds of
many. Will the people not take
•warning?
Is it not time that the Southern
(limiters and farmers abandon the
pernicious credit system? It is the
grt at drawback to their prosperity
howeve* hard tliov lubor, favorable
tho reasons and good their crops they
dud themselves usn rule in debt nt the
end of the yenr. Why is this? Failure
to raise supplies nt home, utilize hum
yard raauure, and in oousrqnence the
«noraioiiM per cent, they have to pay
for them. As the system is practiced
tho plautcr or farmer gives the mer¬
chant ft lien on his crop to be grown
and a morgnge on his st^ek aud lands;
and tho merchant being secured fur¬
nishes tho necessary supplies, and at
figures from 25 to 100 por coot, above
cash paicea. The papers are signed,
and the firmer becomes the merchants
servant, his mortgage is recorded and
niiul his credit destroyed, so far as ob¬
taining anything elsewhere is concern¬
ed and the merchant charges him just
-what ho likes for tho supples he fur¬
nishes. I urge no complaint against
the mercants who furnishes the sup¬
plies; for as n ruse, considering the
advantage they huve and the risks
they t«ko they deal about as lenient
with the farmers ns the generality of
masters with their slaves.
In addition to tho embai-rnssment
oucumbered on property the farmer
promises a per cent, he cunuot reason¬
ably hopo to pay. Senator Brown
in his recent speech On tho funding
bill said, “I think I may venture to
■say that a largo proportion of the far¬
mers of the United .Statesdo not make
clear more than 3 per cent, npou the
capital invested.” I once heard a
suooessful fiancer say that no mau
in the ordinary amt literary pursuits
of life could long afford to pay 7 per
cent, ou money. What hopo theu can
the farmer have that promises 25 aud
100 per ceut.
Now to the remedy. Last year was
viu exceptionally unfavorably one for
wheat nnd corn. Wo may not have
such another in years. Don’t let' the
abort grain crop of last year discour¬
age the planting of plenty this yenr.
Give the same attention to tho proper-
atiou of manuring planting aud culti¬
vation of corn that is given to cotton.
Plant the best lands in corn and culti¬
vate it well. This is the season for
planting. If you think twenty acres
will make corn enough, plant thirty
for a certain.
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta and
Macon, four Georgia cities have an
aggregate population of 100,860, and
aggregate indebtedness of M,387,000

How to Raise Cotton.
We publish below an article taken
from tho Inlimaelit-, an excellent Han-
cock county journal ou the above snb-
ject.
David Dickson, of- Sparta, Ga., who
took the premium at the Slate Fair in
Georgia, in 1868, for 18 bales of cotton
on 6 acres, who before the war made

seed sower, and cover with board or

Tlmd - -Same way; ruu a
third furrow in the middle to
level.
Cotton standing thick in the drill
will he much more forward iu mtitur*
iug.
Cotton ouly requires distance oue
way.
On level land run the rows north and
south,
A cotton plant to stand two weeks
drouth must have four inches soil and
six inches sub-soil; three weeks—six
inches soil nnd the same sub-soil; four
weeks—eight indies soil aud the same
sub-soil.
To improve the cotton plant, select
*<‘ed every year after the first picking,
up to the middle of October, taking
the best stalks and the best bolls on the
stalks.
From the 10th to the 20th of April
is the best timo to plant cotton.
Plpngb every three weeks and let
the hoes come teu days behind clean¬
ing the cotton perfectly.
Continue ploughing till the 15th or
20th of August. Once or twice during
the season, shove out the middle with
a furrow to keep the laud level.
The ploughing of cotton requires
oue and a fourth days per-aere.
Cotton plants commence when small
to take on and mature bolls and con"
tiniiH until they exhaust the soluble
matter or reach the full capacity oftbe
hind. Two stalks will do that m^fh
sooner than one, and will so avoid u
lute drouth, caterpillar, etc.
Timely Words.
In the pastoral address of the Bish¬
ops of the Protesthant Episcopal
Church read before their recent trien
nial Convention, wo find the following
timely words:—
‘'Churches were once built by lot¬
teries, but the moral sense of the
community was at last offered and
they were prohibited. Now thea-
tricHls, , . dances, , suppers and , whatever i .
else will draw money from the throng
who loves excitement and amusement
nre presented as attractions for secur-
mg means with which to carry on „ the
Churche’s word. The committee be-
lieven tlioso practices are destroying
public respect for many teachers of
our holy religion as they appeal to
motives from which men should not
act in tho Redeemer’s service or in
making offerings for his holy work
while they cause the enemies of God
to blaspheme—[Ex.

A Family of Boys With the Habits of
Squirrels
A Seymour, Indiana, dispatch to
the Cincinnati Enguirer says:
‘‘While duck hunting a few
northeast of this city a few days since,
your correspondent discovered in the
tops of beech trees, a number of
hammock-shaped beds, exactly such
as squirrels make for nests, except
npon a larger scale. Upon inquiry it
was learned that a widow in that vic-
inity has a large family of hoys who
in addition to being very indolent
have habits peculiar to squirrel. They
build these nests and occupied them
last summer as they are in the habit
of doing every year. They pick nuts
and store them, living principally npon
them in the winter. Every one of
them cau imitate the sqirrels to per-
faction calling Hiem from their holes;
but not one of the boys will molest
their On the
^Irnry they will divide their nuts

ceud a tree with surprising alacrity
and but one fall lias ever resnlied from
a misealeulation. That time while
fofty feet from terra ffi-tua the squir¬
rel man leaped for a limb missed his
hold and tumbled from bough to
bough, finally landing breathless on
the ground. J/e soon recovered, and
not discouraged at his failure rens-
cended the tree and made a second
and successful leap.
Keep Young
Don’t grow old and rusty nnd cross,
afraid of nonseno and fun. Tolerate
the follies nnd crudities of youth.—
Gray linir nnd wrinkles yon
escape, but yon nee- not, grow old in
feoling unless you choose. And so
long a« yotir age is only on the outside,
you will win in confiidence from the
young nnd find your life nil the bright
er for contact with theirs. But you
have too many grave thoughts, too
ninny weighty anxieties nnd duties,
too much to do to make this trifling
possible, you snv. The nery reason,
my friend, why yon should cnltivnte
fun, nonsense, lightness of heart—he-
cause yon nre “weary with thinking.”
Then do trp to bo yontrg, even if yon
have to be foolish in so doing. One
cannot be wise all the lime.
