If we Knew.
If we knew the baby fingers,
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and s.'ff to-morrow—
Never trouble us a gam—
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Cinch the'frown upon our brow?
Would the prints of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now ?
Ah ! thofc little iec-cold fingers,
llow they point our memories back
To tbe liasiy words and actions H
Strewn along our backward track!
llow those little hands remind us,
As in snowy graves they lie,
Not to scatter thorns, but roses,
For our reaping by and by.
Strange We never prize the music,
Till the sweet -voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone.
Strang the summer skies aud sunshine
Never seem one-luilf so fair,
As when winter’s snowy pinions
Shako the white down in the air!
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty,
As adorn (lie mouth to-clay ;
And sweet words that freight oar memory
With their beautiful pentane;
Come tons in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams,
Lying all around oar path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses*''
Casting out the tlroVns and chafF;
Let us find our sweetest comfort,
In the blessings of (o-day,
With a patient hand removing
All the briers frotß oat our wav.
A Loving Heart.
Give me a loving Lea t!
’Tisbetter far than fame!
Which is at best a fleeting tli'ng,
The breathing of a name.
For laurels gathered fresh and green,
Where flowers in beamy bloom,
When bound around a mortal brow
Soon wither in the tomb.
Give me a loving-heart!
More prec*oas far than fold ;
Or aH tlie wealth that India boas s,
Yea, India’s wal*.h twice told.
For what are gold and pearls,
Or k ; ugly diadems,
Compared with one (rue loving heart,
The purest of earth's gems ?

A Word to the Stern Fathers.
It never can be too strongly unpressed
upon the mind that nothing releases a
parent from his duties toward u child.—
No waywardness; no disobedience, no re
bellion, no profligacy can eter justify a
father in casting a son or a daughter
adrift. We hear f sons being cut off
without a shilling, or daughters being
forbidden their father’s house, and with
out any exception such cases are proof
that of whatever sins their children may
have been guilty, the father is even more
guilty. No person can commit against
society so great a crime as a father com
mits who is thus false to the trust which
he himself imposed—who thus thrust
off from himself the soul which he call
ed into being.
A father should be governed by no
motive but bis child’s best interests.and
a child’s best interests can never be
served by anything but his father’s con
ssant and loving care. If a child is so
bad that his influence is feared on the
other children, separate them- If if is
feared that money bestowed on him will
be for his injury, provisions may be made
against that. But when a father in a fit
of anger disinherits or refuses to sec his
child he commits a crime, which the
laws indeed do not recognize, but whose
guilt it would take many a legal crime
to outweigh'. There should be absolute
ly no limit to parental forgiveness and
forbearance. Seven times and seventy
times seven should the father receive
the prodigal son who seeks his face ; and
if he never seeks it, if he goes, stubborn
and rebellious, hot one atom of fatherly
care and interest lie relax ; for
the child is his off-spring, born of his
will, and no vice or violence can release
the man from his solemn obligation to
guard and guide, as far as possible, the
life which he dared to give.

CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1871.
From the Constitution.
Address of Ex-Governor Joseph
E. Brown tlellvered at the Late
Agricultural Convention Assem
bled at Koine.
Mr President: 1 rise for the pur
pose of seconding, which I do most
heartily, the resolution of thanks to Dr.
Jaiios, for the very instructive and prac
tical address just delivered, on the cul
ture of clover and grasses in Greene
county. It had been fully demonstrated
by previous experiments and practice ;
that clover and almost any of the grasses
grow well in all the sections above At
lanta to the Tennessee and North Caro
lina lines; but it was still regarded as
a matter of doubt whether it could be
profitably grown as low down as Greene
county. The experiments of Dr. Janes,
however, settle that question beyond fur
ther cavil, and it is, no doubt true, that
clover and the other grasses may be prof
itably grown as far down as the red or
clay land extends. The result of the
Doctor’s experiments is truly astonish
ing, as the yield is one of the largest I
have ever heard of. On my best river
bottoms in Cherokee, I had never made
but little over three tons to the acre in
one year—weighed when dry and ready
for the market—and this I have regarded
a very fine crop. "Indeed, it takes our
best lands, up the country, to produce
that quantity.
THE MODE OF SOWING GRASSES.
I am satisfied our people are neglect
ing their best interests when they neg
lect to cultivate largely of grasses, as it
takes scarcely any labor to make tile
grass crop, and it is the most valuable
crop made on the land where produced.
A word as to the mode of sowing and
cultivating it. I have never; in a sin
gle instance, failed to got a good stand,
when I have sowed in March, with oats.
I prepare my land thoroughly, then sow
the oats and plow them in, and after
they are plowed in, when 1 would be
ready to have the field, if l only in
tended to make an oat crop, I sow down
the clover seed upon the fresh plowed
land at the rate of a bushel of clear seed
to six acres, and brush them in with a
branch cut in the wood near by. having
a heavy top, which makes a light load
for two horses, running over, covering
the seed and leveling the ground as our
fathers formerly did their t urnip patches.
A bushel to six or seven acres, is more
seed than is usually put upon the land
but I have found it in the end much
the cheapest to put on enough seed to
be sure to get a good stand the first of
the year. Some object to covering it
with brush, and say it does just as well
to sow it down on wheat, or even on land
unprepared, and leave the seed on top
of the ground. If sowed in the snow,
ou wheat which we seldom have here,
sowed in: a very rainy time, this will do.
but take end year with another, and risk
the season, aud it is entirely too uncer
tain. It is said that the brush covers
part of the seed too deep, and they do
not come up, and that we thereby waste
seed. This may be true, but it leaves
the proper quantity the proper depth
under the ground, and when it comes
up, having some depth of earth, the root
is not So easily killed by the hot sun as
it is when the seed is on the top of the
ground. 1 find it, therefore, decidedly
best to brush it in. Besides it leaves
the ground level and in good order for
mowing. The oat crop is the one to be
looked to for that year, as we do not ex
pect a crop of clover the first year. —
And you should not pasture the land
the first year unless you do so very late,
say the latter part of September or first
of October
clover-.
Os our ordinary season, the clover
will, the year it is sowed, grow a consid
erable bight before frost if the land is
good, and with it will he a good coat of
crab grass and a considerable crop of
weeds. Just before frost I put my two
horse mower in and cut all this down
and dry it and stack it. and it makes a
fine cron of hay. The stock will eat all
tlie young clover and the crab grass
and even the tops of the rag weeds,
when they are cut green and dried
with the hay. But not the least bene
fit from this course is the fine order in
which your land is left for mowing in
the spring. If you do not cut down
the grass and weed crop in the fall, you
will find in the spring, that the large
dry weeds are very much in the way and
it will be necessary to employ hands to
gather them and pile them oflf of
the way before you can reap your crop
of clover.
THE SOIL BEST ADAPTED.
In reference to the quality of land
best adapted to its-growth, I state that,
in my opinion, it does best upon stiff,
black, rich river bottom, which needs
no manure to make a good crop. If you
put it on upland and expect a good crop,
you must manure your land well before
you sow it, and when it is once set with
clover, if you cultivate it properly, you
may keep it perfectly rich. If you have
poor lands, and wish to enrich them
with clover you must turn over several
successive crops in the green state, giv
ing them to the land, and, if you have
the patience, in this way you can soon im
prove it until it produces a good crop for
use, and may then keep your land riel: for
the future, liut you need not exp et
a heavy crop of clover on poor land, any
more than you may expect a heavy
crop of any other sou.
And in this connection I wish to say
a low "words as to the value of the clo-.
ver crop as manure. We have heard
here a very interesting discussion on the
subject of commercial and domestic, or
barn yard manures, during which many
very valuable suggestions and interest
intr statements have been made. My
judgment, however, is that the clover is
the best of all fertilizers. It enriches
the land aud continues to keep it rich,
if you continue to alternate tae clover
with other crops of to run it a consider
able portion of time in clover. The
first two acres which I sowed in tne riv
er bottom, in Cherokee county,* as an
experiment, was sowed in the middle of
a corn field, that it be sure not be pas
tured the first year. With the clover I
sowed some Heard’s grass seed. For t hrec
successive years 1 got heavy crops of
clover from the, laud, the clover deci
dedly predominating over the Heard’s
grass. On the fourth year, the c-rop was
pretty equally divided between the two,
and the fifth year it was about three
fourths Heard’s grass. This shows that
the Heard’s grass will stand longer than
the clover. The latter should be plowed
up the third year. The Heard’s grass
might be continued indefinitely, were it
not that briars broom sedge and other
wild growth, will spring up and compel
you to cultivate two acres above re
ferred to, turned under with a two
horse turning plow, and I afterwards
sowed, as I did the corn land around it, in
wheat. The following spring, when the
wheat was maturing, you could see the
difference to the very vow, from a very
considerable distance. That where the
clover had been was from 12 to 18 inches
higher than that around ic. Tile next
year it was cultivated in coin, and the
tenant informed me that lie - could shut
liis eyes before he come near the place,
and tell by the looseness of the ground,
the moment the plow struck the part
that had been in clover. The corn crop
was decidedly better on the clover land
than on the same quality of land around
it which had been in wheat the year be
fore. The third year, which was last
summer, the field was again sowed in
wheat, and l could have carriedyou to the
edge of the wheat field, and said. “ two
acres of this has been in clover,” and asked
you to point it out to me without my in
dicating the place, and you could have
shown me to the very row where the clo
ver had been, as the wheat on that part
was decidedly taller and looked better
every way. The effect of the clover,
therefore, has been not only visible but
very marked for three years after the
crop had been turned under.
DITCHING AND DRAINAGE.
We have heard some very interesting
statements here cn the subject qiJhlll
side ditching and drainage. In my
opinion, the very best hill-side ditch
that can be made in this climate is made
of clover and grass and deep plowing.
If you plow your lauds deep an I keep
your hill-sides in clover and grass and
use them mostly as pasturage for your
stock, which will pay you better than
an) other crop you can put upon them,
you will have no use for bill-side ditches,
and the deep plowing aud the clover and
grass will prevent any wash.
A SHAME.
I desire to state a fact here which is
really a shame to the people of Georgia.
The records of the Western and .At
lantic Railroad show that there was im
ported over the road into tbe State, du
ring the six months from the first of
July, 1871, in round numbers 33.000
bales of hay. This was worth about
$200,000. If the same amount should
be imported for the last half year, it
would be, say, 66,000 bales, cr $400,-
000 worth. Every pound cf this should
Be grown in Middle and Upper Georgia,
and if our friends who raise cotton in
the sandy lands should desire any hay
we should certainly furnish it to them.
I trust our people will wake up to this
subject. Not only should we raise all
our own hay, but we should raise our
own stock. Where we have our lands
set with grass we can do this easily and
cheaply. As an illustration: I keep
upon my farm neither a mule nor a
horse to aid in doing the vvorlr, but I
work mares entirely ; and I have a jaok
and raise mule colts. Last fall, in No
vember, 1 was on my farm in Gordon
county, and my manager, Capt. Findley
asked me how he should treat the colts.
I told him to turn them into the bot
tom land, upon a c-lovc-r field where we
had sowed it, sos the winter, and let
them run there as long as it would sup
port them, and then give them a plenty
of hay and some corn, if necessary, for
the balance of the winter. The fail had
been a favorable one and the clover was
up a very considerable height, and thick
over the ground. The winter was not
wet and but one really very cold spell
came—about Christmas. The result
was. that there was enough clover for
them to feed upon all the winter. I
again visited the farm the first of March
and went with Captain Findley to see my
colts, and found them in good growing
order, doing well, and he told me he
had not fed them an ear of corn during
the whole winter; that they had run
there upon the clover field and nothing
except that they had eaten about
half a cart load of my seed clover under
the shelter. This was cut when it was
rather dry and hard, for hay when the
seed got.ripe, and they did not like it;
and. indeed, they had not needed it.—
They are now going on two years of age,
and I Go not suppose they know what
corn is. A mule colt on a clover farm 4
I find, costs me less than a bull yearling
to raise.
ON THE NEGLECT OF REED.
A word now or. ft he subject of the
seed. Until lust year, I have been buy
ing mv seed each successive year lrorn
Kentucky, because I did not wish to have
the trouble of cleaning the seed. Last
summer I had lue second crop on ten
acres set apart for seed. I let it stand
until the seed was ripe and had it mow
ed, as I would im \v p. iy, and hauled it
up and luil it nut under a shelter. Iu
the spring, when 1 wished to mow. I
had it thrown out with forks upon the
hard ground near the barn, ami a cou
ple i took flails, such as our lath--
ers formerly used in threshing wheat,
awe! a few licks would heat off all the
pods from a considerable bed of hay.—
That was thrown aside and another portion
thrown down, and by continuing in the
same way, [ soon had the seed threshed
off the entire quantity. With the seed
which grew ou the ten acres, I sowed
about sixty acres the past spring, and
got an excellent stand. It was sowed
in the rough, seed, chaff, and all, from
seven to ten bushels to the acre, on
plowed land, sowed in oats and brushed
in as I stated in the case of clean seed.
The seed off ten acres, if I had pur
chased it from Kentucky, would have
cost me about 6100. 1, therefore, re
commend every farmer, after the first
year, to tjgve his own seed. Buy your
seed and sow the first few acres; then
set a portion of the second crop of each
year for seed, and prepare it and sow it,
as above stated, and you will have no
difficulty about it. You need, therefore,
after the first year, spend nothing for
seed, nor need you spend any labor oil
the clover crop, except the simple labor
of cutting aad housing it. This isce~-
tainly much better under the present
labor system than our old habit of break
ing up our laud, planting corn, aud cul
tivating it all summer, and pulling the
fodder, and then gathering the corn,
hauling it up, shucking it and throwing
it into the crib, aud carrying it out in
our arms and in baskets aud throwing it
to our sleek. Instead of all this labor,
sow your hillside lands, such asyuucuii
„ut well mow, turn your stock upon it
in the summer, and, unless in ease of
drought, they will do well upou it all
summer without any of. your labor. —
Set apart some of your best laud, bot
tom, if you have it, to mow, cut and
save the crop there aud you have noth
ing to do but to throw the hay to the
stock with a little corn, aud you can
carry them through safely. There is,
therefore, no comparison between the
two crops, so far as your stock is con
cerned.
If yen will sow a lot in clover and
grass near your stables, and will plow
your horses during the summer, giving
them a plenty of clover hay, and allow
them to run in the pasture at night,
with one feed of corn em h day, you
may keep them in good order and work
them all summer.
fasti; RAGE.
This is not confined to cattle and
horses. “ A clover field i:i a most excel
lent place for your hogs. I set apart a
field for that purpose and have now from
130 to 140 hogs upon it, and they have
been doing well all summer, with scarce
ly any c. in. When the winter is very
wet, the best plan is to move them off
from it to prevent them from rooting up
the land. They will graze on the green
clover all the while, and it is an excel
lent food for them. The cheapest way
to make meat in the country, is to have
a good clover pasture for your hogs, and
after you cut your small grain in the
summer, turn . them in for a time and
pasture them there. Taking the two to
gether you need feed them very little
corn until August or September; then
as soon as your corn is in roasting car
fence off a ,-mall piece rd a time (for
which Mr. Charles Wallace Howard’s
portable fence, a model of which is now
before the,Convention, would be very
convenient), an’d turn them upon it. or
cut it and throw it to them, stalk and
all. They will eat the ear and chew the
cob, the stalk and the fodder, and it is
all nutritious; you will find it will start
them off to thriving, growing, and fat
tening as fast as dry corn, and they get
a great deal more out of a stalk, includ
ing the foddef, Car, etc., than they do
out cf a dry ear of corn In this way,
they may be carried on till corn gath
ering time, and then feed them a short
time upon dry corn, and they are ready
for the butcher.
TURNING UNDER THE CLOVER CROP.
Before I conclude, a word more in
reference to turning under the clover
crop. As already stated, you do not pas
ture it the first year, and your first crops
saved the next spring after it is sowed.
That year you may cut it twice, and
the next year twice. The third year
you should cut the first crop and save it
for hay, and you should tern the second
crop under with a two-horse turning
ph w, giving it to the soil, and either
sow it in wheat that fall, which is prob
ably best, or cultivate it in corn the next
spring. It should not stand more than
three years without being turned under,
as the fourth year’s crop will not be a
very good one, and the wild growth and
broom sedge will become troublesome
by the fourth year. I may also remark
that the first crop cut in each year —
which in Cherokee Georgia, is ready for
the mower about the last or May—is
much the best for hay. The second
crop will make your horses slobber,
though tire hay is very good for cattle.
The proper time to mow the crop is when
it is in full bloom . and a few of the
blooms, here and thcje, of the earliest. .
arc beginning to fade preparatory to the j
ripening of the s* cd. ihe old theory :
was to let? it stand urGI a third ora half j
<f the blooms were fading, but this is ;
not best, as the stalk becomes rather ;
hard and the bay is not good. If cul
in full bloom, when on!) a few cf the
earliest blossoms are changing color. |
your hay will be more nutritious and
better.
But I have already detained you too
long. Mr. President, my object was not
to make a speech, as 1 do not care to do
that, further than to osier a f w praeti- l
ea suggestions —tuc rtsu.t oi up own
experience. It' by any effort that I can
make, or you, or this convention, we con
wake up our people to (he ureat impor
tance ot thus subject, we will not have
labored in fain. I thank you and the
convention for the attentive hearing von
have given me.
Serious Accident —On Tuesday
last, about ten o’clock a very sad acci
dent occurred at McAfee, Tides A Co’s,
gold mine. A sluice of water is used
at this mine tor the purpose of washing
the ore to the mill, and ajpithcr sluice
is used in conveying the waste reek and
d;rt away, down a very precipitous route
into the creek; — it hundred yards.
•Tust about the time everything was
ready and the flood gate of the reservoii
was raised to convey the water, rock
and dirt away, Mr. Ktby Caitfrcll, by
some accident or other, fell into the
