Why should not the fanner and his family be as highly cultured as those engaged in any other avo cation ? Why should not the farmers as a class exert as much influence moral, social and political as law yers, doctors or merchants? Why should not the farmers of Georgia, who constitute three fourths of the people of the State own the land, pay the burden of the taxes, feed and clothe them selves and the rest of the com munity, and supply the basis,, of all other industries, be represent ed in the State Government ? Why are not demagogues spurn ed, instead of being followed by the farmers? These are importont questions, which fanners themselves should carefully consider, seek their causes'} and as far as possible re move them. We venture a suggestion as to the principal causes of these un natural facts, as well as the means of remedying them, and will be glad to have our readers give their views on (lie subject. The necessary isolation of a barge number of farmers in a sparsely settled Stale like ours, prevents to a huge extent inter course with their follow men, and unfortunately very few avail t lionised ves of the only remaining recourse, viz: books and papers. The great obstacle to the influ ence, sueees and usefulness of farmers as a class, is found in the want of that information, and re sulting expansion and liberality of thought which can only be ac quired by contact with the world and a free use of good literature, especially that, relating directly to their own business. II every farmer in Georgia would read regularly one first, class agri cultural paper, weekly or month ly, for the next five years, the aggregate increase in production resulting from improved intelli gence would pay the taxes of the ■State, and taxable property of the State would be very materially ! increased by the same cause. j We invite Ihc attention of our! raaders to these thoughts, In | telligepep ja gs neyesaary to site cess tit agriculture as in any other avocation.— Southern ho terfirfa-. Farm Life. It is a common complaint that J the farm and farm life arc not | appreciated by our people. \Y<> long for the more elegant pm suit a !or tlie wnys and fashions of the town. Rut the fanner lias Ihe most sane and natural occupation, and ought to find life sweeter, if less highly seasoned, than any ! other, lie alone, strictly speak ing, lots a home.

Nothing will take the vari ous social distempers which llioj city and artificial life breed, out! of a man like farming, like direct ! and loving contact with tl\e soil. ! It dravys uqt the poison. It hum ! i Ides Idui, teaches him patience j ! and iwerenee, and restores the I proper tone to his system. Cling to the farm, make much of it, put yourself into it, bestow vour heart and your brain upon it, so that it shall savor of you and radiate ! your virtue after your day's work is done. ,/n/ni /bo m Book Fanning. Web ter, when speaking of the importance of agriculture, said: j •‘Agriculture feeds us, to u great extent clothes ns, and without it j we could not have manufactures,; and we should have no com- ; ificrcc : these stand together, but! they land like pillars-the largest; in !In* centre- -and that largest 1 is agriculture/’ The best farmer cannot know every article of practice that is followed in every part of the country; and as most practices are discovered by what is called chance or accident, it is dear the discovery cannot be generally known until it is carried abroad. A farmer who travels appreci ates the information which he receives in conversation with other farmers, and by observa tion of field labor. Such a farmer possesses advan tages over him who always re mains at home, that is within the circle of his markets. Now, the object of an agrieul tural book or paper, at hints, tious or discoveries, import unimportant, to the home of farmer, t hat he who stays at ludfl may possess all l-hc a<l\ a^HHj him who In that he who goes abrom^B compare what he Inis see‘.| what he reads, and decide w [( ,jJ practice is best suited toliis.

Harness Galls. i it is a cruel thing to work a horse that lias a neck worn raw by a badly titling collar. In put | ting horses that have been com j paritively idle during winter to the hard work of the plow and the harrow, painful and unsightly sores are often caused which, tin less cared for at once, prove of longstanding, permanently dis figuring Ihe animal. When tin* abrasion first appears, give the horse a day or two of rest. It is better to do this even if import ant work is somewhat delayed. Chloride of zinc diluted with til t v parts of watet and applied with a soft sponge, is a good astringent serving to harden and toughen the skin. Hut after all, the best way to prevent galling is to have the collar, and every part of the harness touching the horse, a perfect lit. Keep it well oiled and pliable. Then inure the ani mal to hard work gradually and 1; inil lv.— /'’"rmcr'ft. JQoview. Plowing in Crops as Manure. A large number of farmers are unable to understand how it is possible to belter the condition of lands by plowing in clover, rye buckwheat, ect., in a green eon dilion. Tim ditlhmltyts in compre hending methods bv which crops that are supposed to draw their substance from the .soil in which they grow can return anything more to the soil than they took away in their growth. This point is cleared up when it is known all plants draw nourishment from the atiuosnlim'e at well as from the ixql, and this is one source of gain. While the leaves are ac cumulating stores of fertility from the air, the roots are busy searching for it in the soil, ml thus the two distinct parts of plants work together, It i-. prob able that crops absorb in some way, nitrogen from the atoms phere ; at least, it has never been satilYictorily proved that they do not, and hence from that source one of the most valuable of Ihe various forms of plant food may be derived. If this point is an doubt, it is certain that the leaves gather from the atmosphere the elements of organic matter, and organise them so as to form the great body of the plant;and when we turn under the clover it leaves its organic matter in the soil, and this is, in an important sense, manure. But the excellent effect of plow ing under clover or other green crops are not dqe alone io ele menta of fertility obtained from air. The great,deep-penetrating roots go to a point lower than most of the cereals, and hence they draw supplies of mineral food from sources inacce .dole to other valuable plants; and funi ther. it is to be observed that these roots of coarse texture dis integrate and loosen the soil, so that air is let in, and in some ! sense the work of the plow is performed by them. When these roots decay, they form a consid erable portion of organic or veg etable matter, which, cotnbinejjfc with the mineral, gives a go* compost for better plants to t,b .JLJB From these hrirl cnnsiderfSß it will readily be seen how possible lo manure land ing in green crops ; and wfIHH here remark Unit it is a net el iI- li e111,11 [ 1 iel 1 1. wei 111 ! -ita llt 1111 e 11 . lir-tthm uf ('/n utliii ij.

Many farmers are laud pi/' j their capital is all invested •' | land, and nothing left to stoV I and work it. Some seem to thin that their prosperity is prove! ! by the number of acres they own : but 1 look at the matter from •• different stand point.

New Kntjlund hitrtner. Good Layers. A prominent writer on poultry matters says: “For laying hens, select large, stnyig, healthy birds of the Leghorn varieties, with large, square bodies, without re gard to tine points, such as pure white Hat earlobes, or very yel low legs, or combs with just five points, or plumage that is per 1 fectly white in the white variety, or without a white speck in the brown. It is not that these points are any detriment to the health or Ihe vigor of the birds, bat a constitution has been too often sacrificed to them, which often results in a strain of enfeebled though handsome fowls. The* Leghorns are acclimated Ameri can breeds, which originated from birds brought from Ihe Mediter r.iuean, and they have been im proved in this country by circum •dunces that have given them u a preeminent position for the farmer, when birds such as are above recommended are selected. Other breeds, or crosses frona them .are much better than the/ Leghorns, or any of the smaller breeds. Chickens that are the result of a Dorking cock and Utah muhen are large arid mature much earlier than the other. Moreover they are hardy, fleshy* tender and fine llavored. Hou dans in place of Dorkins are also good to cross on Brahmas, or to breed with the first-mentioned cross, as they keep up size and quality. “Rlyrnoiith Rocks re also a good table fowl, and ate good to cross with the above.”— ffovlnn.
