The contracts for extending the Ma¬
con & Bruoswcck railroad to Atlanta

The Baltimore Sun, of .S’.tnrday,
say*, “the process of subdividing the
large plantations into smaller farms U
going ou steadily in the South, even
in the states where the old system hud
taken the deepest hold. The hard-
working firmer, who follows the plow
, lim8e , f jf) 6rmvding ont the
.......... ,**, .ho in a. *a
am day* scare dy took the trouble to
direct the Operations of Lis laborers.
In Mississippi, for instance, there were
12.84b plantations in 1800, and the
avernge number of acres in each wa*
370. Ten years later there were 03,023
farm*, the average»r-a being 193 acres
iu 1830 the number of farm.*, was 75,-
205, averaging 185 acres each. While
the aera of cultivated laud is less tiiau
it was in 18G0, yet the production of
cotton is nearly twice a* gieut. The
census of 1890 will doubtles* show a
still greater change in the domestic
e ouomy of the South, tts indicated by
a large nutntor of land owners and a
vast increase in agricultural products.
According to this showing, Missis¬
sippi lias nearly doubled the numb-r
of her farms since the war, and, with
Ls land in cultivation, shows an in¬
creased yield of cotton to nearly double
what it was in 1860. This gives a
lively idea of a force led and Hie tame
force driven. The one is uuder the
eye o. the employer, and if he ba a
very efftctive hand ready seta the
measure of the day’s work.
But it is not more the efficiency of
the labor than the closer economics and
the better management that are prac
tieablo ou the small farm, where the
eye of the proprietor follows every
interest. The tec's are taken care ol
and kept in order. The system of
home economy is kept up. The close,
methodical planter se- s where he can
save and saves it.JIIe knows what for
a~e will be nt J. 1 and doe* not permit
it to spoil iu the field. Ilis corn and
fodder do not run to waste in the feed¬
ing. Hi* mule* do not suffer from
thirst or neghet. Hejueps tia-k of
every roan and every tb'iig. His farm
aud all its surroundings show the ilif
fwence between an effective and or¬
derly condition and its opposite.
Few men have the ability and i.i-
dustry to keep close watch of a large
farm and many bauds, Ik is moie
labor than a rick man is willing to do;
while the young, aotivd and poof man
feels under hoods to do his bfat, for
he has got a fortune tt> make.
Wo hope the system of sma’l farms
and small fortes will gow till the
South swarm* with tin Bi—rivaling
each other in their thrifty and neat
appearance—showing sung houses and
boras—trim fences, picture quo gar¬
dens and frnit orchards—pi asant and
prosperous neighborhood*—good so¬
ciety, good schools and ehurchcs, and
all the comforts of a high rural civili
zatiou. These thiags are no more
impossible in the Southern States than
anywhere else, they will mark an im¬
proving popnlatk a.
There are already to be observed
throughout the conotry some import¬
ant advances, and we may be sure that
example and emulation will soon make
them more common. — Tel. & Mess.
