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 Keep* his cow always enclosed don’t lirouse in neighbors’s shrubbery or kitchen garden—warehouse cotton or greengrig ers s stocks in trade. 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. '■jdtSjfr. [BiiriwiiUiii Hant Charles W. Plummer, a Newark (New Jersey) societv-duek, had to fiay Miss Grace E. Plummer, a belle of the same city, for “hugging her on the parlor sofa, kissing her every time they met. anil going to sleep oh her shoulder,” the neat sum of $5,M00; but, as this sort of thing went on for sixteen months, the bill was not excessive.
