Will it Pay Young Men to
Farm in the South.
Ijhfhrs South* m Unit!tutor\ —
After ;i perusal of the March number
of your valuable magazine, I am c->n-
Htraincd to write you a few .lines hoping
you will publish, if young men arc per
mitted to say anything on the subject
of agriculture. I will give you a brief
narration of my last year’s experience
in the cultivation of corn, cotton and
oats. My motive being exclusively to
impress upon the mind of young men
that are deserting thefarmsand seeking
employment in the densely populated
cities, that something can be accom
plished by cultivating poor lrill-sides
without the use of fertilizers, and to
prove that they can be made to produce
wonderfully when brain and muscle are
properly exercised.
Last year I rented 35 acres of land
hom my Father not including a single
acre of bottom land. I planted it as
follows: 12| in cotton, and the remain
ing ten in oats. For my cotton and
corn I broke it up as deep as possible
with two mules to a turn plow. The
land planted in cotton had been badly
planted in corn the three preceding
years, and consequently there had accu
muMed a large quantity of vegetable
maker, tho only thing commendable
about the plat of land. I candidly be
lieve that if I had been able to make
the purchase, that the Dixon compound
would have paid me 100 per cent, on
file investment I finished planting
r'irn the 19th of April and cotton the
oth of May. Dy this time it was very
.'ppnront that 1 had planted more than
couid well be cultivated. This did not
discourage me. My father and two of
our neighbors visited my little farm and
advised me to throw out four acres, which
I reluctantly consented to do, but finally
dissented. Jhe only thing that made
me think myself competent to manage
this huge crop, was an excellent set of
tools and a large fat mule. These are
very essential things to have. Without
them, scientific, systematic farming, is
impossible
1 lie crab grass had made its appear
ance everywhere ; and I went forth with
a strong arm to battle with it for su-
premacy—fully determined to extricate
my crop from the weeds and grass, or
exhaust all of my physical power, which
I soon ascertained was not so easily ex
hausted, as most young men now days
presume. 1 first endeavored to use the
Allen cotton scraper but to no avail (the
land being too rough) and instead,
barred off with a common turn plow
and moulded with a shovel plow. I
then repaired to my corn field and
plowed it over as rapidly as posssible,
and then returned to my cotton patch
with the anticipation of plowing mycorfl
again ; (this being about tlie first of
June) but my corn never received any j
more work—as my cotton by this time
was in a deplorable condition being
matted with grass. Something must be
done at once. I began early and plowed
late, with no hands expept that nature
* gave me. About the 15th of July J
was over the second time with plow and
hoe ; my crop at this time was in a grow
ing condition and forming well. The
second plowing was done with a turn
plow, as no sweep could be used. All
subsequent plowing was done with a
sweep.
On the Ist of August my prospect for
cotton was flattering indeed. About
that time W. S. Dennett, a distinguished
hiruier and a close observer, visited my
little farm, lie put my crop down at 8
bales, which he said was not a large
estimate; but during the second week
of August, we had too much rain.—
1 his was followed by a drouth of con
siderable duration, which entirely de
stroyed the top crop. The bottom crop
was also partially injured. But not
withstanding the unfavorable season, the
yield was large. I gathered that much,
and lost 400 lbs in the field, not being
able to save it.
My corn did not yield so well, as it
was on very poor land and suffered for
work—it made 105 bushels. My oats
were also on thin or broken land—they
however did better. I cut a part of
them for hay before the crop matured—
the remainder made 125 bushels. This
was the most remunerative crop of the
three, taking the cost of production, &c.,
into consideration. I believe that it is
generally conceded that the oat crop at
present is the most profitable of all crops
in this latitude, (33 degrees )
After winding up my business and
cancelling all my debts. 1 find that my
net profit is $250.50, with corn enough
in store to do me another year. This is
a small profit, it is true; but who in any
of the professions has made anything
since the great decline in cotton. As
far as I have observed merchants, me
chanics and men of all professions seem
to bo traveling the road that leads to
bankruptcy. It is very obvious that if
1 could have employed a hand, my pro
fits would have been larger, as I fed a
mule 12 months when it was not em
ployed one-fourth of that time. This
year my operations are more extensive,
consequently 1 shall expect three times
the yield:
Now, with the fights before me,
I am prepared to say that farming can
be remunerative on our poorest lands
when properly managed. If this be so,
let us leave politicians, and grog shops
for drunkards and recover the fortunes
that our lathers made by laborious toil,
and lost by the late war. Let us go in
to business with good resolutions, and
wo will certainly get value received for
our labor. 1 venture the assertion that
these poor lands, just described, can be
restored to their original fertility, within
five years, simply by rotation of crops,
and the judicious use of fertilizers man
ufactured in our barnyards, (read an ar
ticle of the Canada Fin mb’, on barnyard
management, in the February number.)
If what J have just narrated be true,
let us negotiate for some of these lands
at once, and introduce the grasses and
aow small grain largely, which has a
cT'-at tend mey to rejuvenate worn out
1 take the ground that if a man
tali ; one of the above described plaeio
■ ’ w-s >t to its original fertility
v< lUi.s: hve years, and is only able to
meet, all legitimate expenses during that
' ‘irn*. he is amply repaid f-r his labor
and expenditure. I may be incorrect,
but am determined to make the invest
ment.

Cucumber Toast.— Select your cu
cumbers —fresh, crisp, medium size—
just such as you would prefer if served
up in the usual manner. Pure and slice
up lengthwise cuts a quarter of an inch
thick. Rinse in cold water, dip each
slice singly in flour, and hurry them in
to the dripping pan, using for material
to fry them in, the gravy in which
either beefsteak, veal cutlets or mutton
chops were cooked; or butter may be
used; but be sure to fry briskly until
the slices are a light brown on both
sides. Have your bread toasted, but
tered, or dipped, as you prefer, and
close at hand. Slip the slices of cucum
ber hot from the pan between slices of
toast, and serve at once.

U.vpaintkd Houses. —As we go
about the country we see many dwelling
houses that are left unpainted for some
reason. There are those w r ho defend
this practice, on the ground of economy
declaring that they can better afford a
new clapboard, or to cover the whole
outside of the house anew, than to be at
the expense once in three or four years
to paint. We are not among the num
ber who take this view, and even if it
was so, we would most surely advise the
painting for looks sake if nothing else.
We Avould not always paint white with
green blinds, as many do, but would se
lect some neutral tint that would har
monize well with the surroundings. Wc
all admire the virtue of neatness, and
tlieye is nothing that gives so good an
appearance to buildings as to give them
a few coats of paint.
Grape Culture. —Many people are in
quiring how grape vines should be cul
tivated. Here are a few directions
founded on experience. Now is the
time to plant vines. Plant them as
they grew in the cutting bed; spread
the roots well before covering them;
the longest roots may be shortened
without injuring the vine; cut the top
of the vine back to two eyes. The first
year cut off all the shoots but one, and
allow only one cane to grow, and tie it
to a stake ; in the fall cut the vine back
to two eyes. The second year allow on
ly two canes to grow; in the fall cut
back each vine to two eyes. The third
year raise four canes; after that the
growth and habit of the vine will gov
ern the training, and every man will
easily see what course to take ; his ex
perience will be his best teacher. Vines
require dry land, the dryer the better,
and as a general thing the soil need be
only moderately fertile. It should be
borne in mind that young vines demand
as clean cultivation as corn or cotton.
The distance apart for planting
vines depends on the variety ; strong
growers, like Concord, Clinton and
Hartford Prolific, should be planted ten
feet apart each way.— Market Journal.
Ploughing Ground when Wet. —
Hardly any practice on the farm is
more to be deprecated than ploughing
or stirring the soil in the spring when
wet. This is one of the small opera
tions. affecting oftentimes a whole crop,
and lasting injuriously through a whole
season. Unless in a sandy soil, any
stirring or moving by spade, plow, or
harrow, when wet, tends to compress
and compact its particles, when the ob
ject is or ought to be to pulverize and
make mellow. “ Good tillage is man
ure;” and stirring of v 7 et soil is only
allowable in a brickyard. No impli
ment that we know of is capable of again
opening lumps of earth to atmosphere
action and influences, after they have
once closed up by compression, and be
come externally hardened. Any one
can observe this, by moulding a lump of
damp earth in their hand when it be
comes the consistence of putty. When
exposed to the air it becomes nearly as
hard as stone.
Old Jethro Tull used to talk of sub
terranean pasture. He contended ‘ that
plants lived on the finely divided par
ticles of soil, and the finer the division
the more pasture of course/’ A lump
of dirt the size of one’s fist, hardened
by compression wdicn in a damp condi
tion, is as unavailable for plant food, as
food for a cow is when placed out
of her reach. There is often a great
anxiety in the spring to commence
work early in the field and garden;
but till the soil becomes sufficiently dry,
not only is nothing gained but much
lost. The more haste, often the less
speed. The right time to plough or dig
of course depends on the nature and
quality of the soil about which the own
er should be the best judge.— Practical

BECAUSE,
can now gel for a very small amount, a i
MIGHT TO IST
TIIE
Stoker Patent
PORTABLE FENCE!!
Which I am convinced is very superior, and
can be built at one third tho expense
of lumber and labor.
Why, Don’t You See
It takes ten rails here to make a pannel.
which ten can be split into twenty, and so
arranged as to make four panuels, after the
manner of the
STOKEM PATENT.
THA-T’S So !

EVERY BIT TRUE,
It’s the fence for the farmers of Gordon
County, and everywhere. It’s the fence
that will supersede all others,

WALTHAM
W A TCHE3.
The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En
ginacs, and Expressmen, the most exacting
of watch-wearers, has thoroughly demon
strated the strength, steadiness, durability
and accuracy of the Waltham Watch- To
satisfy that class in all these respects, is to
decide the question as the real value of these
time-keepers.
More than 500,000 of these watches arc
now speaking for themselves in the pockets of
the people—a proof and a guarantee of their
superiorit.p over all others.
The superior organization and great ex
tent of the Company's works at Waltham, en
ables them to produce watches at a price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from 25
to 50 per cent, more for their watches than is
necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of re
al practical use. Having had the refusal of
nearly every invention in watch-making orig
inating in this country or in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe test
ing by the most skilfull artisans in our works,
and long use on the part of the public, dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and en
suring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch Compa
ny, who, having had the refusal of all other
contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion
as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
watches.
All Waltham watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement ffom dust, and les
sening the necessity ofthe frequent clearing
necessary in other watches.
On new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch, is already a decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far the
cheapest watch of its vuality now offered to
the public. To those living in portions of the
United States where watchmakers do not
abound; watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove invaluable.
The trademarks of the various styles made
by the Company are as follows:
