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. The Family that Don’t toko News papers. The man that don’t take newspapers was in town the other day. He brought his family in an ox wagon. lie still be lieved that Millard Fillmore was Presi dent, and wanted to know if the “Kam schatkainns’’ had taken Cuba, and if so where they had taken it. He had sold his pork for six cents when he might have got ten.

When last seen, he had called for “ soda and water,” and stood soaking gingerbread in it and making wry faces. The shop keeper, mistaking his meaning, had giv en him a mixture of sal soda and water, and it tasted strongly of’soafi.

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.
