Speculative ami Supporting Far- \
mere.
I spent twelve years of my ear
ly life, from ten to twenty years
old, in all the varied work of a
farm ; and for forty-six years as j
an itinerant minister. 1 have
travelled over all the country,
from the Chattahoochee river by j
LaGrange, Atlanta, Athens, An- !
gusta, Savannah, Darien, llaw- ;
kinsvillc.Americus and Lumpkin,!
thus including some of the best !
farming country of Georgia. As
presiding elder, I have touched all
of this area of country; and as
station preacher in all these pro
minent. cities, wit 1> the education
of a farmer, I havtnind ample op
porlunity to study the farming in
terost, bo.th among the farmers at j
home, and in its results upon the
commerce of the cities; it may
be, therefore, of benefit to some
one, to give the information thus
obtained.
1 will divide the farmers into i
two classes, speculative and sup
porting farmers. The speculative
farmers are those who plant large-!
ly for market whatever will sell
most readily and profitably for I
money—in the belt referred to it !
has been generally cotton. This !
class depend largely upon buying j
their supplies, maintaining that j
with the same labor in cotton
they could buy more supplies for
| the farm than they could raise.—
i These farmers speculate upon
their own cotton, holding or ship- i
ping for higher prices. Like all
large speculative business, this I
has been a very uncertain and un
satisfactory system of farming.—
Home supplies were not usually
abundant and varied, for they
had to be purchased, and large
| liabilities had to be met on this
I speculative plan; neither stock
nor the table was as bountifully
supplied as that of the providing
farmer. Sometimes this class of
farmers would make a good hit
all round, and seem to be llood
tide to immense fortune. This
would increase the speculative
j spirit, plans would be enlarged,
debts increased, etc. And then
there would come a reverse, crops
bad, prices low, high per cent, for
i advances,etc. till they were swept
by the board; the war and re
i verses since the war, have bank
| rupted almost the last one of this
1 class of farmers; the few who
! survived are like the lone tree
|in the track of the tempest.—
j Merchants by the hundred have
been ruined financially, by this
class of farmers.
The farmer who makes it his
chief business to provide lor his
family, who has his orchards, gar
i dens, flocks and herds of all kind,
has hogs, milk, butter, poultry,
corn, oats, rye, barley, wheat, t in
nips, sugar cane, everything in a
bundance for living, and then
produces all he can for market,
invariably lives better than the
speculative farmer, owes no man,
merchants never lose anything by
him, and he slowly but steadily
rises in the world, and adds to his
| estate, even to wealth and inde
| pcndence.
Such is my observation of far
mere for the last forty-six years
in Georgia. J. E. Evans.
Bermuda Grass.
We clip the following from the
Southern Enterprise :
Grasses thrive well on the clays
and sandy loams, and for sod we
have the Bermuda grass, which
has no superior in the world for
early spring, summer and fall
pasturage. This valuable grass
is not appreciated by planters
who devote their lands almost ex
clusively to corn and cotton cul
ture, but it is.just what the stock
raisers need.
Now that more attention is be
ing given to stock, it is rapidly
growing in favor, and many are
planting fields of it. It makes no
seed, but propagates rapidly from
the root, and is destined to be as
highly prized in Georgia as the
blue grass is in Kentucky. There
are large areas of Bermuda sod
in some of the counties of mid
dle Georgia, especially in Green,
Hancock, Morgan and Putnam,
which can be purchased at prices
merely nominal compared with
their real value. This grass is
peculiarly adapted to sheep hus
bandry, and by sowing the seeds
of vetch or spotted medick which
grow during winter when Bermu
da is dormant, fine green pastures
may be had throughout the year.
In October, the Enterprise pro
mises its readers a geological
map of Georgia, and a good one.
Breeding to Milk.
it is a fact well established with
stock breeders, that any peculiar
characteristic may bo given pro
minence by careful selection for
breeding stock, those having the
desired points distinctly marked.
Merino sheep are bred with fold
ed or smooth skins, according to
the fancy of the breeder, by se
lecting continuously for genera
tions, bucks and ewes having the
desired type. The bodies of the
Berkshire hogs have been increas
ed in length by some stock mas
ters by selecting Die long bodied
males until they bear an unnatu
ral appearance. By select ion, the
wool has been bred from the face
of Leicester and into those of the
Ootswolds. By selection, some
strains of short horn cattle have
been bred to line milkers, while
others have been bred so entirely
to beef-producing, that they are
extremely poor milkers. By se
lection, some herds of Ayrshire
j cattle have become almost solid
; red, while others equally pure
1 are mainly white. By selection,
! and in and in breeding, nearly all
of the present improved breeds
of stock have been brought up to
j their present standard of exoel
! lence.
| By selection with special refer
! ence to the development of the
i recognized ‘points’ of good milk
I ers, any herd of cattle may be
improved in their milk-producing
capacity. There are certain un
inistakable signs of milk produc
ing capacity which are promptly
recognized by the practiced eye.
The escutcheon, the relation of
which to milk production, was
first discovered by Guenon, of
France, is, when understood, a
valuable guide in the selection of
heifers to be reserved for milkers.
This consists in a belt of upward
growing hair, extending from the
udder towards the root of the tail,
and when well developed, reach
ing well out on the thighs on each
side of the upper part of the
udder.
We sometimes find good milk
ers without remarkably fine es
cutcheons, but we very rarely
find a poor milker with a good es
cutcheon.
We have not space to enter in
to its full description. Of course
no skillful breeder will rely on
tirely upon any one sign in mak
ing his selections, but take those
having the best possible combi
nation of points. 'There should
be a general feminine cast, broad
hips, full, large stomach, taper
ing neck, free from dewlap, small
tapering head, wide between the
eyes, and long from the eye to
the nose, large development of
milk veins, soft, pliant, yellow
skin—all taken together, giving a
general appearance of feminine
beauty.
All of those will seldom be
found, except in well bred herds
that have been selected for many
generations, but select heifers
having the best combination, and
make heel’of those with heavy
heads and necks, large shoulders
and narrow hips, resembling a
bull more than a cow in appear
ance. A little attention to this
will prevent much disappoint,
men t and rapidly build up a stock
of good milkers. The inexpe
rienced are apt to reserve for
milkers the most unpromising
specimens on account of their
large size and beafy appearance.
If beef is the object of the breed
er, the latter class will best suit
his purposes, hut if he wishes to
establish a herd of milking stock
all such should be rejected.
After the selection is made, tlit*
breeder’s duty is hot ended, but
good attention, liberal feeding,
and thoiough milking, must fol
low. Much depends upon all of
these, especially while the cow is
young and with her first and sec
ond calves.
Save no heifers for milkers, ex
cept those that promise well ac
cording to the points already men
tioned, give proper attention and
food, and our word for it. a rapid
improvement, even in our com
mon cattle, will be the result.
We do not) however, advise: any

Selection of Seed. MS
A writer in the (Ltr,l< nMm
Chronicle (England) writcsKjl
Close observation has led iu|flS
the discovery that the varia’tflH
in the cereals arc not only <we|
ditary, but that they proceed u jM
on a fixed principle, and fronß
them 1 have deduced the follows
ing law of development of edß
reals: (1) Every fully developed
plant, whether of wheat, oats w
barley, presents an ear supcrjfl[
in productive power to any of
rest on that plant. (2) EvjHjg
such plant contains one gralH
which, upon trial, proves mol
productive than any other. jßf

I lHiismissaWe in different degrufl
to its progeny. (5) By repeatetl
careful sehjwilon, the superiorit,']
is accumulated. (6) The
monl, which at, first is rapid,
dually, after a longseries of yiSMj
diminished in amount, and eveE
tually so far arrested that, pranß
cally speaking,a limit to improve"
nient in the desired quality is
reached. (7) By still continuing
to select, the improvement is
maintained and practically a fixed
type is the result.
The .Soil is Raw Material.
An English professor put much
in lew words when lie said that ,
“soil is I lie raw material which
(he fanner lias to manufacture
into products suitable for food''
and clothing.” He uses the soil
for these purposes, calling to his
aid the agencies of animal and
vegetable life, and the stores of
fertility which exist in the atmos
phere. The active ingredients of
the soil, that is, those that are
ready for use, are such as can be
dissolved in rain water. These
Hie fanner works upon without
the aid of chemical assistance.
The Best Sheep.
Agricultural journals are often
asked by novices in the sheep
business. What is the best breed
of sheep for me to keep ? This Is
a very natural and’sensible ques
tion, but there cannot be an in
lelligent answer given without
knowing locality, nearness to(
market, extent of pasturage, and
the like. In general terms, the
best sheep for the farmer is Hie
one that will bring him the most
money; but this answer is worth
less when applied to the individ
ual farmer. One thing is certain
(lie best sheep is not the scrub
sheep, any more than the scrub
horse, bog or cow is best. If to
be kept in large (locks—and when
this is the case, of course the ob
jectis to get wool rather than car
cass—then the American merino
isundoubtedly best. If the pas
tores are small, it indicates that
the farmer is not distant from a
market for his mutton, and then
we settle down on the Gotswold,
Leicester or Shropshire as giving
both large fleeces and large car
casses of good meat. They do
well only in small flocks, and are
thus suited to the medium or
small farmer. If the prime ob
ject is mutton, then select the
Southdown. Their mutton stands]
highest as to quality, and tlieiJ
carcasses are heavy, but theiil
wool is not choice. The lambs of
this breed fatten early, and al
ways command extra prices.
A colony of Swedes have pur v
chased a large tract of land on t

extending from the Delaware wa
ter gap down to the Wind gap, on i
