Change In the Present system of
Farming Imperative.
A. .T. Heath, in Southern Oulliviifor.
Tlio crops ate ulrnut housed, ami
though blessed with pence and plen
ty, we arc not satisfied. Everybody
is in debt, and nobody lias any mon
ey.—The laborer says lie cannot work
for loss—that his labor is worth ns
much as it over was; still he can buy
more provisions with one day’s wages
than he ever could with two, and
the query is, what is t he land owner
to do ?
Farmers must employ labor in the
same ratio they get for their prod
ucts. For instance, a half a bushel
of corn or three jmundH of Imcon ul-
wuys paid for a day's work, and if it
will not do it now, then things must
come to a stand-still.—Some farmers
say they cannot pay the prices, and
propose to rent, All 1 have to say
ubont that is, I never saw a planta
tion before the war that was improv
ed by renting to white men, and I
nm confident I never will see one
vented to the “belter skelter negro''
that will benefit the land or its own
er. ibt. -;
Therefore I say audit your accounts
before t he beginning of another year,
and if the products obtained have
cost more than their market value,
change your System at once. I have
arrived'at the conclusion that the
best tenants I can have, are four-leg-
feod one*, that will work (lav and
night and charge nothing, only to bo
well fed and eared for.
1 belong to that, class of farmers
who make farming their occupation
and study, and believe the remedy
for our evils, is in a change of plan
rather that; in a change of occupa
tion. I have no idea of abandoning
the ship, for if she goes down, then
all other occupations sink with it.
Many precious lives huvo been fret
ted out in the vain attempt to farm
with demoralized free labor on credit
or borrowed labor, finding each year
plantations going to ruin, and debts
more annoying. Now, instead of
looking to the plough and hoe for
our money crops, let us try grass
culture and stock-raising, which re
quire vory liitlo labor, save all fields
from washing, improve land, give
sure crops and large profit*. Think
of it, brother formers ! Will not;
money from plants that will grow
twenty years without, the use of the
boo or plow, be as acceptable ns t hat
derived from wearing our already
impoverished laud ?
The farmer who raises grass, stock
and provisions needs hut few work
animals—his expenses for labor are
also small, while his income and in
dependence is about us sure as the
certainty that min will fall and grass
grow.
But they say we cannot grow grass
bore, when the truth is, trying to
keep it from growing has broken
nearly the last, one of us, and t he cry
is, everybody is in debt and no mon
ey-
Now, brother farmers, 1 am rais
ing grass and clover in Johnston
county, N. 0., and 1 am pleased with
my success so far. The past season
1 eqeda.il twenty-live uuros on the
mud, in gross and clover, and I also
planted a row of elms. The seuson
was exceedingly hot and dry, and
strange to say many persons passing
by found out that, somo of the grass
died, (and they knew it would, for
this is not a grass country,) and no
body found out that two-thirds of
the trees died, and that this was not
n free country. Somebody said in a
n sneeriny way that I would have to
Ruea neighbor for trespassing on my
grass field—that lie saw him pull a
bunch of broom-sedge out of one of
them. 1 Now, does that, person know
that half tlio cotton fields m North
Carolina, South Carolina and Geor*
gia would have ju.id better in broom-
mlge than in cultivation. Now lot
us oaUpilut^T-qasiindpg that one-half
of the land in cotton would make
half a halo of edit on, or tJOG lbs. seed
cotton, at 3$ oeuts $15.00
200 lbs. gunmVnt ‘4f por lb $5.
Picking out 000 lbs at 50o 3.
* of 000 lbs at 2|ota 3.75
and lagging, 3.00
I sent oft a four hundred lb. bale
of wool which brought one hundred
dollars. I also niftfe olT a four hun
dred lb. bale of cotton, made on one
acre of land, which brought me thir
ty dollars. The wool cost me the
least to make it.—Statistics show
tlmt in tlu* South for the last three
years wool bus paid (50 per cent, for
growing, while cotton lias not paid
five per cent.—Bnt somebody says,
what if everybody goes to raising
grass and stock, what then ? With
the same propriety might be asked,
if everybody goes to heaven, what is
going to become of tlio devil ?
We have brains, and it is as neces
sary to work them as it is to work
the muscle, We must think more,
and asun aid to better thinking, rend
more, and make our farms our con
stant study. Go, reader, and verify
these statement-, and if found cor
rect, advocate a higher education for
the farmer. The struggle to uccn
uiulato money swiftly by raising ex
pensive crops on extensive arias, by
inferior labor, is an inevitable failure.
As the rather hard-up old ^colored
lady said, when she went to the
Commissary for rations, “if I don’t
get no meat, hut ah ! the Goi-blessed
freedom I Inis !” So with grass far
mers, if they don’t, handle much
money, there is u blessed quantity of
comfort and peace of mind in it—
the winds work for it, the air feeds
it, the dews’and rainwater it, and
the stock gathers and manures it.
It is easy to prove on paper that
grain cannot be raised for its selling
price, and that no animal can be
raised on the farm for its market val
ue, yet we find that (nose who raise
grain and stock do not house their
crops in barns covered with mortgage
deeds, nor live year to year the slave
of necessity.
If you are in debt, surrender your
property—don’t undertake to borrow
money at 2 ) per cent, until you can
learn to make I percent, on that you
have already invested. T heard a
conversation the other day between
a fanner and a shrewd imuluuiie
which is worthy of note. The me
chanic contended that ho could not
take less for a buggy without selling
the mator>al for less than it, cost
him. The farmer could not pay for
it without taking less for his prod
ucts than they cost hint to make
them ; therefore, no trade.—Deny
yourselves and get out of debt, and
then wo will l»o the happiest people
under the sun.

A gentleman who Imd just patent
ed anew religion, doomed it necessa
ry to quiekmi and confirm ho f faith
of his proselytes by whooping them
up a few miracles, and accordingly
anounced that, bo would fly over a
ravine (5,000 fcot deep and four
miles across.
A vast multitude assembled, upon
the appointed day, and thorn ho
thus addressed: “Dearly beloved
brethren, in order that I should per
form the miracle which will now be
presented for your intelligent appreci
ation, it is absolutely necessary that
1 should l»o supported by your faith
as wall as my own. This is an occa
sion whore 1 cannot run my faith
alone. Do you, therefore, believe
that by miraculous ago ;oios l ean fly
over this yawning abyss?”
“We do—so sav we all of us.”
“Then, dearly beloved brethren,
tliere is no need of my (lying across
and wasting a miracle.”
