Farm Matl ers.
One JHos-se Farm.
The (rue path that leads to private
arid pubiie welfare,-end that will lead
us cut of the slough of despondency
into t' e delectable land of independence
l illustrated in the following descrip
tion of u “one horse” farm and its op
erations last season, as furnished by a
farmer living in Bislfopviile, S. C., who
is the happy owner of this model farm.
All the plowing was done by his buggy
horse, tbo time so used avenging nvo
days in the week. The results are as
follows:
Thirteen acres were planted in corn
and peas, ar.d Ecven in cotton. All the
v rk of cultivation was done with day
i dor at ; y cent- a day without meals,
except fur plowmen a part of tho time.
The cost of preparing and cultivating
the cin and peas was $13.75. The
cotton seed and commercial manures
ost 8100.50, and the cost of gathering
/as sl3, a total expense of $127.25. —
hand produced 259 b ushoL of corn, 3,-
000 pounds of fodder and 30 bushels of
peas, valued at $3lO. The net profits
were s 182.75. The expense of matt
ing the cotton and preparing the cotton
fr market including $213 for manures,
was $201.4-1 a:.d * the proceeds of the
seven bales produced amounted to 8375.-
85. The not profits on the cotton was
$174 10, which added to the profits on
the other crops, gives a total net profit
<f ; 357 15. The cotton costs seven
■ -Cits a pound to produce it, and six
hales sold for twelve cents, and one bale
i r seven and a half net per pound
This Is the true road out of the wil
derness of ruin in which the Irte war
involved the Southern States.
Tobacco.
Almost all who use tobacco for any
length of time regret that they have
found this habit, so injurious to them
ethers for various ostensible reasons, jus
tifv its use.
Th 3 use of aid mt spirits, bad as it
is, caonot le more demoralizing than
the usj of tobacco. It stupefies the
moral powers. This is the great
r ason why so few people are afiectcd
. v preaching ; and it may also nc"
con.tit for the numerous apostacies
roi, the Christian faith at the presen
J-) v
Tobacco, by its peculiar specific prop
erty oi benumbing the moral powers, is
thfi very tiling to catry out the plans
of Satan, as it fits men to become his
pliant tools, by searing the conscience,
and paralyzing the moral faculties.
Alcohol, on the contrary, his an ef
f t to deaden the intellectual faculties,
while the moral faculties are less uf/
feted. This is seen in the fact that
drunkards aro often very sane on rcli*
gious subjects after their capacity for
purely intellectual effort has collapsed
Could all see the ruin consequent up.
on the use of these stimulants, they
would shudder at the thought of intro
ducing snch an agent as tobacco or al
cohol into tho human system.
Tobacco-user, if you would break off
from this destructive habit, open your
eyes to sec, and your ears to hear, wo
beseech you in the name of all that is

Seip Wheat.—The time if? rapidly
approaching for selecting and sowing
winter wheat. Selections should be
made as soon as possible. The plump
est, and ripest should be selected fo;
and before sowing,the seed wheat should
be run through the fan several times so
as to procure tho heaviest and largest
grains.
It it generally conceded that early
v boas does tho best. It is more apt to
- cope injury from insects, and becomes
letter and more deeply rooted before
winter sets in.
The old way of sowing wheat broad
cast is pretty well gone out with the
better class of farmers, and the drill is
now generally used saving nearly half
the quantity of seed.
llog CiiOLEttY.—Give the hog a ta
blespoonful of soda in some meal, every
morning till relieved. 1 have known
Homo of the most remarkable results
from this simple treatment. I will give
you one instance : After relieving my
hogs with it, a friend whoso hogs were
dying very fast, and had lost seventeen
cut of thirty of his hogs, tried it and
did net lose another hog, although some
of them were very bad off —A.U.Brad
ford, Brownsville Tain.
Ledbugs.—Boil some bits of alum
in a pint of water, and wash over the
slates of the bedstead. Scatter Paris
Green in the corners of tho beds and
on the slats, and you need never fear
the reproach of harboring bedbugs. To
kill and drive away cockroaches crick
ets, etc., scatter powered borax plenti
fully over all their haunts, and not a
bug will be seen. Scotch snuff will al
so kill crickets, cockroaches, ants
etc.
—
Manure. —Fifty fowls will make, in
the roosting house alone, one-half ton
per annum of the lest manure, in the
world. Hence fifty fowls make more
than enough to manure an acre of land,
7 cwt of guano being the usual quanti
ty auplieii per acre, and poultry manure
is Known to be still richer in ammonia
atib fertilizing salts. No other stock
will give au equal return in this way;

THE NEW FAMILY
SIGNER
Sewing Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work,
is f.?.st winning favor in the household, as
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This ftevv Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such a
was oncO thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the chcapc'jt, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equrl facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter-clastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and,i n a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, cr al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using ‘- the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this ia trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine-is not. equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vince.! that our new family machine embod
ies sew and essential principles—simplicity
of construction; ease of operation; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity ferriage and variety of work, fine
or coarse -leaving all rivals behind it.
Sewing Machine Sales of 1874.
Tho table of sewing machine sales for
1871 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,697 machines, being a
huge increase over the sales of the previ
ous year. The table shows that our sales’
exceed tho'sc of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148,862
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any other Com
pany.
It may fie further stated that the sales of
1873, as compared with the sale, of 1872,
show a relatively large increase beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 we sold 45,000 more machines than
any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the
sales were

The following is a correct report of the
talcs of sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies during the past four years.
A careful examination of tho figures will
show that the “SINGER” have largely in
creased each year, while, on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by ail other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result, to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has its re
