It wants but a little reflection and observation to convince one that there is a fearful amount of wasteland n the country. Even on the best managed and most thoroughly cultivated farms any where to be found, we see a pro digious amount of it. Uf the whole area embraced in the farms of the country, we believe it would be within bounds to say that not a tenth of it is utilized as it might and ought to be. If this view be true—and we chal lenge refutation—it will be seen how very far short our country falls, the Southern section of it at least—of being fully develop ed for agricultural purposes. To bear out this argument, we will indicate a few of the many ways in which lands are kept unutil ized and idle. Many farms have meadow lands that are rendered utterly worth less by allowing the cold water from springs to run over and leach them, till scarcely the rush es will grow upon them. And even be there a tussock ol green grass now and then, the ground is such a quagmire by being sat mated with water that the safety of sl ock is endangered by ventur ing upon it. A few days’ labor with the spade would open a way i for the escape of the water and | the land be put in a condition to i produce grass, which would ren i der it one of the most valuable parts of the farm. Don’t let the I line meadows lie waste for lack :of a lillle energy and honest ditching. In times like these it behooves the farmer to have a sharp eye to the principles of true economy. Some farmers having sold a portion of their timber, still allow (he land to lie waste and unpro ductive only to become a wilder ness of thorns and briers, instead ! of having the brush and rubbish removed, and converting into a range for stock that would event ually be a fine pasture by a little good management. The stock would themselves clear away and subdue the bushes and make the land fit for the reception of grass. What is the use of paying taxes on land that returns you nothing, not even the wild varmints that hide upon it, or the ammonia that floats over it ? Much land is made well nigh wor tbl ess by shade trees in fields where they are not needed, and where of course they do harm. A tree of medium size, as an oak or a chestnut tree, will draw the life out of half an acre of land all around it till the ground becomes as poor as a barren hillside. Re move the trees, stump and branch and let the waste places made by them become productive spots again. There are some trees, as the persimmon, that do not injure land by their shade or otherwise, but they are such as send theii roots deep down into the subsoil, and do not draw from the surface soil. If you must have shade, let it be trees of this kind. There is also a great deal of unutilized land in fence corners and along hedges and ditches; careless plowers make the loss still greater. Most small farms have (oo many cross fences, and many ditches serve little purpose except to annoy the cultivator. Fences arc too expensive to be indulged in atl libitum , Among other lessons of economy that our farmers have to learn is this of how best to utilize every rod and spot of the farm. There is probably not a farm in the South that is made productive in its every acre. Much of the best land of the farm is often lost by an ill arrang ment of the farm buildings; much by not keeping the fields occupied by some crops ; much by not confining streams and ponds to narrower limits by cm bankments; and much, very much, is worthless to the owner because he possesses more than his capital and force enable him to utilize- There is more lost by having waste land in fields than i the land itself. The farmer has '■ to till more land than would oth erwise be necessary, and the, cost, of doing it, is greater. Re , dime your waste land to a mini mum as fast as possible. Make every foot of the farm produce something. Don't own land for the sake of owning it merely. —A Rural Messenger. __ q,,,; A Farmer’s Reaso'° usto,n > r *<*: snv, .tea They had forgotten p/ralm a dist-ou were on home ma* a aiMl " is,, hig farmer was _ explain:;;;,"//," 1 % ft”' other the high way ivc win make times. factory.

This farmer has some thing to eat. The old lady and the girls thought year before last that he, the old man, would have to buy some cloth on credit. They rig ged up (he old spinning wheels and the war time loom and made that cloth. This kept him from buying on credit, and left him with money in his'pocket. The next year lie used it closely, and bought entirely for cash. At the end of last year he had eight bales of cotton. It brought him $403.00. Of that amount $120.00 paid all his accounts this year and purchased him some valuable farming implements, lie has now $277.00 at interest. He has also ten bales of cotton made this year, which he says he will sell whenever he pleases. lie has a crib full <>(’ corn, has wheat, oats, peas, potatoes in abundance, and aline lot of hogs and cattle, all raised at home, lie says he feels independent, and wants his farming brethren to know (lie secret of this inde pendence. Make all at home for one year. He says no man need say he can not do so. The war proved to the contrary. Let all the cotton made call for cash, and not go to paying high credit accounts. This is the way a sensible old farmer views the situation. Read er, do you think be is right or wrong? —Sparta {La.) Timex. Good Advice from “Poor Richard. It is well always at the begin ningofanew year to take “ac count of stock; to see just where we stand, so that wo can start out afresh and avoid the snags which have wrecked many of our hopes. That the “times are hard’ for our farmers there is no doubt, and although we have been bless ed with good crops, the very a | bundance seems to be disastrous | to many of us, the cost of raising ! being more than the product j brings. One thing is certain, we have at last touched bottom as j far as shrinkage of values is con j corned, and henceforth when we I talk dollars we shall know what jwe mean. There never was a ! time in all my knowledge of farm ! ing when agriculturists, as a class were so hard up as now. One great reason of this is that we have not been willing to accept the fact that we must take low prices for our produce, and that low prices have come to stay. Accepting this as a fact, it is first necessary, if we have success, to adjust our affairs to our condition. I have been reading lately Frak | lin’s “Poor Richard,” and I have derived so much comfort from his wholesome maxims that you will pardon me if I quote. He says : “What signifies hoping and wishing for better times ? \Ve may make these times better if we bestir ourselveg. There are no gains without pains. He that hath a trade hath an estate ; and j he that hath a calling hath an j office of profit and honor; bul that trade must be worked at, t and the calling well followed, or neither the estate nor office will enable uh to pay our taxes. If we are industrious we shall nev er starve, for at the workingman’s, house hunger looks in but never enters.

If you cannot pay I in lime, you will be ashamed to see your creditor; you will be in j fear when you speak to him ; you i will make poor, pitiful excuses, • and by degrees come to lose your varacity, or sink into downright lying,for ‘ the second vice is ly ing; the first is running into debt.’ And, again dying rides on debt’s back.” When you have got your bargain you may per haps think little of payment, but creditors have better memories than debtors. They are a super stitious set, great observers of days and times.’ If you bear your debt in mind, the time which at first seemed so long, will as it lessens appear extremely short.

Governor Hartranft, in his last message to the Pensylvania Leg islature, makes some wise sug gestions on the labor question. He believes there ought to be some system devised to bring in dustrial and scientific training within the reach of the masses. He portrays the evil effects of unions, the Worst of which are ’that they make machines out of their members, and poorer me chanics out, of other laborers. These intliiences must be coun teracted by the diffusion of knowledge technical and scien tific among the masses. There must be more and better indus trial schools, and greater recogni tion of the “dignity of labor.” He very properly attributes the tremendous influences of the trades unions to ignorance, and says, “The work of the school master must undo the work of the demagogue, and the State sup plant the bigoted organizations of labor with industrial schools and workshops.- -]'radical Farm- er.
