Bniiill Farmer- Verticil.
Mr. li. H. Hmdwiiy, a sduontiHe
farmer pf Tliijmasvilkt, Ga., contrlb
utos all artlele In Ilir Smitlirni (’itllira
tor, til wliioh lie takes (troumla that
the future inosporiiy of the South
lies In # reduction of tha ijuautitv of
land cultivated I>\ each individual.
He savs we I’uitlvate entirely too
much land for tile labor system in
vogue, and we must, reduce the acre
age ami make n e meant ration of ma
nures tQ bring tlie good results that
we are now laboring for with muscle.
The amount that might be saved in
labor and team by an increased use
of manures is immense, and accord
ing to his view it would i'tii new life
in Southern agriculture. If the farm
er did uot desire to dovtde out his
lands he could leave a jiortlrm of t hem
idle and at rest every year, which
would also bring an advantage, as
it would make his entire farm grow
richer all the time instead of jioorei',
as is evyr the result of the old system.
Sir. Hardway lias demonstrated this
fact on his own farm. In its virgin
state it would not have produced over
twelve bushels of corn to the acre.
Ue left uiunnmired ns a test this yem
tl acres In cotton, and it produced
bales, and 4 acres in corn and it pro
duced fuly 30 bushels per acre. Some
large planter* seem to treat this sub
ject of laying otf their plantations in
to one-horse farms as undignilled,
and rather a small potato business.
If these proud .gentry would pull off
thoir coats and personally supervise
those little well-manured farms the
coming year, he will guarantee it will
work wonders in their feelings, and
pockets, and in the future they will
hurrah for the small farms. Large
planters can'make rich, 50, 75, 100,
150,800. or as many acres as they
choose. Ho Is sure it is pleasanter to
get 1.000 bushels of corn on jo lu'jv
thftn to run over #*acres on the ex
tensive system to get it.
■ ♦ .
Wliifrr Plain;,i* In tlic e.iuili.
in ordinary .season, our winters in
the lower Sputh, or South Alignin'
anil Gulf out*sl regions are s.> mild
that the hardier vegetables grow fine
ly, and remain uninjured during the
coldest months December and Jan
uary—but oocasionallv severer freezes
occur, and the gardener musi be con
tent to take smile risks, even in the
ease of the hardiest species. This, in
the limited operations of the family
garden, he can well afford to do, for
failure costs merely a little not un
pleasant. labor and a few seeds, and
success rewards him with an ear
ly and excellent crop. An excel
lent contrivance for securing plants
in rows against frost consists in
two boards, a foot or more
wiiU', nailed together at the edges In
the form of a three-cornered trough,
made of light thin boards; these are
easily handled, and a few such pro
tectors will be found very useful, it
is bettor that the cuds should be cl"
ed, though the mere Shelter of the
lateral pieces will be sufficient in nee
of light frosts. In planting seeds of
any kind at this season of the year, it
is best that the rows should be slight
ly elevated above the general surface
and that the covering be light. A
good way is to sow on the surface,
and tlyen scatter or silt over them a
little vegetable mmiM or light soil.
[ Rural Caroliulnii fur .Jtiu.
Fall Pnauiehlng.
Having within the last few day
traveled through parts of ilits coun
ty, Bullock and Bussell, we have
noticed in several places large fields
that have now grown up in weed .
some of them having unite luxumnt
crops on them. As we passed along
we oould not hut regret that the plan
ters were not engaged in turning
them under, for if turned under now
they would prove to be worth more
ns fertilizers than almost anything
that could be put on tin lands. A
good crop of weeds, or any other veg
etuble growing on the land turned
under in time for it to rot Is-fore or,
by spring, adds as much or more to
the fertility of tlio soil as a heavy
coat of the best manure. |u passing
through the country we see that tin
crops are all, or nearly all, gathered ;
the people WO in a measure Idle. It
requires all the year to make and
gather a gbod crop, and the time
from now until the coming of the
new year ought to tie employed in
preparing fertile next years'crop.
Let all the plows bo put in motion at
once and turn under everything in
the way of vegetation now on tin
land. And let the balance of the
farm force be employed in reparing
fences, houses, gardens, and clearing
laud, buthlOSt especially in making
up and procuring manure for next
years’ crop.-y&ai/ea it PktuUilinn.

A friend says he has demos! rated
the economy of a cow iu u poor fami
ly, with mimerous small children, as
follows: Bought two years ago an
ordinary small country cow with a
young calf. Cor thirty dollars. Has
hail no calf since, but with plent y to
eat and attendance, hn* yielded over
two gallons gf,very rich milk per day
up to the time, with every
promise of a continuance of so doing, ,
Kesijlt as follows:
1,480 gallons of milk at 40 cents
per gallon ss*4 no
Feed- |nets, bran and shucks
(with no pasturage,) say. 185 on
Balams' of profit $450 no
Showing how a common Georgia
cow may be Worth a good deal more
lluura blooded horse. She wus fed
well with pens and bran ami always
kept in beef condition. It is folly to
expect milk without abundant fe - ! :
and with plenti of well
boiled, almost any cow will gi-.e
plenty of rich milk. Don’t think
much of anything else for milch cows
than tleW-peas. well boiled with
kitchen slojw the offal of the garden
-good gras- or green oats, rye or
barley. With plenty of these her
hair will shine like silk, and the milk
is bound to come. Without them or
other natriitous f.xxl, you are fooling
away vour time trying to keep a cow

Among tlie other pleasant occa
sions which’mark the holidays, the
fritinds of aB. and M. baggage-man
presented him witli a patent tniuk
llftcr. It is made of steel and brass.
Two clamjis eatcli the trunk at either
end. and a turn of a knob in the
hand Of the baggage-man pulls both
straps out by the roots, while, at the
same time, an iron ball, weighing
nine pounds, hammers away at the
bottom of the trunk, and a neat,
three-jointed, self-acting rake, with
twelve teeth, reaches in as quick as
a hole is made and sweeps from end
to end of the trunk, finally emerging
through the lid, where it clinches,
and, by a sudden, beckward jerk,
turns the trunk inside out. No bag
gage-man should be without it.
