[Springfield Republican. fir Advantages of Small Farms and Intensive Farming. apt JSfSS* Bcatf at ibo August Meeting or t?e sedgefield Agriculture! * - Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen .JAt oar last meeting it was decided that I should prepare an essay on " The Advantages of Small Farms and In tensive Faining/''' I donot feel com petent to do justice to the question ; nor will I have.the time to enter into full details of this matter. Bnt aa the question is of so much importances oar country and State, I would feel like 1 was shirking a duty not to say something ; and per haps what I Bay may b? a key to un. lock oar minda to the fact that small farms are the salvation of our coun try, and the only way for a farmer to be happy-with cash in his purse to spend for the comforts of life. ~ -~~&cmc* bad a talk with a northern man, who said that in his country 40 acres was considered a good farm, and 100 acres a large farm. In Chi na, they say, a man can support his family on 4 acres. I told thia north erner that some pf our plantera had 2,000 acres of land ; and he asked me if I knew that there was such a t hing as being " land poor," -and making a failure on a large farm wheo a email one would pay. It is the dollars saved, not made, that make men rich. As I have nev er owned a very large farm, I cannot apeak as to them except from observa tion ; bot judging by the want of im provements, rotten barns and empty cribs that I see, it seems that only a narrow living cornea from them-and not profits enough to keep the ho oses in decent repair. You all know the troubles of farming, now that tba la bor of a large farm is generally jiagrp to hardships and exposura ; and a liv ing is all they want. And they can live on very little-happy with a bor rowed mole and an umbrella on the road to church. Now who ia it that keeps np all the happiness of the col ored man ? The land owner of course ; and the more negroes he has, the more it takes to keep them up. Houses to live in, firewood and well water, and supplies, are all fur nished by the land owner. If a crop ia made, we may come out even ; if not, the landlord loses. With these losses, added to the heavy, drenching raine and the uncertainty of seasons, we Bee no profits io large farms. So small farms mnst pay, or none. Bat; say some, we have emull farms too that do not seem to pay. This is - true. -Bot whose fault is it? Such farmers do not start right ; they shut their eyes to the expenses, and lea e it too much to the land to make a crop, without; proper help, following in the wake of the man with a big farm. Some think they must pnt in large crop, and must take in all the rocky knolls and gully-washed hills| when it would be far better to leave sack places alone, and select only land with a good Boil to improve. Lat the large land owner, instead, select a few acres, that can be bnilt up to raise 2 balee-of; cotton or 50 bushels of oats to the acre, and bring it up to a fine state of cultivation. Do not let the poor land eat op the profits of the good lots. Do not let a trifling ten ant eat up the profits of a good one. Farming requireahard study. Law yera, ministers and doctors have to scratch their weary heads and learn the principles and rules of their pro fession; and likewise must a farmer study the nature of his soil, and the kinds of manare that suit it. Farm ere have to count on the uncertainty of seasons ; and they also have to study human nature to deserve and maintain the respect of their laborers. These are the elements of success ful farming: 1st, good labor; 2od, good stock ; 3rd, good implements and tools ; 4tb, good manure. First, good hands with poor stock, ia time thrown away. Second, good stock with poor ' land, is a waste of money. Third, bad tools, even with good hands and good land, ia a waste cf labor. Fourth, all the best labor and tools and stock on poor land, ia the most awful of all wastes. Therefore hy all meaos mo nure mil. This is the grandest de. sideratum of all. Combine and change, the manare. Some, I know, will say that by the time we procure good toola, stock and labor, and then ma nore heavily, it will take al! the prof its. I deny the assertion. Without all this, you will reap nothing; with all this, you have the power to make good crops, and live in peace of mind. Others will say they see no money in either mode. And truly, by the way some of as manage, it is a matter of congratulation;that we live at all. Bat let us see if there is not even more than a Hying on a small farm. Take an ordinary 4 horse, farm, and reduce it to 2 horses and two hands; let one-half of it rest. I think ten acres of li?.ad with a year's rest will make a bale of cotton more the year following ; or else sow it down. You can sow thia land, ieap and house your produce for 3} dollars per acre. Or you can do this work in spare time, with your 2 horse farm labor. Yon can raise from 10 to 20 bushels of oats per acre on thie land ; you can feed your two horses off of it, and buy neither corn nor manure. Hire only good, efficient laborers ; do not take the refuse of the j aila and orphan asylums. If you rent out any land, rent only to good tenants, and tee that they change the land and do not wear it ont. Turn off promptly all bad men. Take 40 acres, say, to cul tivate, and sow down 40 acres every year. Follow this plan. Give your 40 acres in cotton a liberal manuring, and by sowing it in grain after cot ton, you have a good stubble and oats to feed on, besides some to sell. It ia said that an oat crop will impoverish sand land. I do not believe it, though my own land is clay. Ten years ago 1 took land that was poor, and I have been making many good crops on it. "With good manuring, I have raised as much as 1600 lbs. of lint cotton on 2 acres; on other lands I have raised 1200 lbs. seed cotton to the acre. In 18811 cut off 80 acres of land, lying well, flat and convenient. I took 2 of my best mules, hired 3 of the best hands, and sowed down 40 acres of it. I bought good implements and used plenty of manure. My profr its, net, were $800 on this land. In 18S2, changing my laud, ? cleared $1,300 on this 2 mule farm. In 1884, I cleared $1,100. So I am decidedly of the opinion, and I apeak knowingly, that the prof itable method of farming is on a lim ited area, well manured, weli pre pared, and well worked. W. T. WALTON. Tbe Fleecy Staple. A Blgber Average Couditlon Tbun for Ten Years. WASHINGTON, Aug 10.-Returns of the Department of Agriculture make a slight improvement ol the condition of cotton on the 1st of Au gnat, the general averaga being 961 a point only once exceeded in the August returns of t n years, 1880. The average in August, 1882, was 94, and only Sooth Crrolina and Ala bama exceeded their present figures. The State, averages are as follows: Virginia 95, North Carolina 92, South Carolina 96, Georgia 100, Florida 99, Alabama 95, Mississippi 101, Louisi ana 100, Texas 91, Arkansas 97, Ten neasee 97. South Carolina, Louisiana and Tennessee have made no change; slight disadvantage * points, Jw late, especially in the Atlantic States. There has been little damage from drought, rains or insects. A few re ports from Texas, and occasionally one from more Eastern States, indi cate a lack of rain. A larger num ber in the Gulf States, including a few in Texaa, mention an excess of moisture, which is injurious in the flat lands. The shedding of forms and bolls, with mst and blight, are much leeH prevalent than nsnal. The caterpillar has as yet done no damage, though reported in several Counties in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas; it is rare in Mississippi and not reported in Ar kansas and Tennessee. The Country's Crops. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The fol lowing is the Agricultural Bureau's resume of the grain crops: Corn has made improvement since the last report. The average st?nde 4 points lower than the standard of foll condition and indicatea a yield, with reasonable moisture and favor ing temperature hereafter, of 26 to 27 bushels per acre. The average for August of 1884 was the same, but fell 3 points during the 00 days fol lowing, when the yield was 26 bush els. In 1879 the average for August waB'99 and the ultimate yield PO re ported by the census was 28 bushels. The increase has been 2 points in New York, 3 in Virginia, North Carolina 1, Georgia 2, Alabama 1, Michigan 5( Illinois 4, Missouri 2, Kaneas 7, Ne braska 3, and Iowa 9. There has been a slight decline in Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, rn seven corn States the averages are ? Michigan 96, Indiana 95, Illinois 94, Iowa 101, Nebraska 100, Missouri 89, Kaneas 90. Correspondents report irought in some places and excess of rain in others, but well drained and openly cultivated land has suffered it tie from drought or super satura tion. The meteorological conditions have been generally favorable. The prospect has not been exceeded since .880. WHUAT.-The moist and hot weath er following the 15th of July has , ?aimed t ome damage to Spring wheat n the Northwest, mainly in Wiscon lin and Minnesota. While generally JO ticed, its effects are variously re J )orted, prominent Counties returning rom 100 down to 85, and in a few 1 ?asea down to 60, and 48 in the case ] if Pierce County, Wisconsin. Most 1 f the great wheat ConntieB in Min lesota report averages from 75 to 90, ? hongh Dodge returns only 50. Some 1 f the less important make an aver- j ge of 100. The reduction in the rospective yield is greatest in Min esota, amounting to 9 points. The ecline ie 5 in Wisconsin, 4 in Iowa, ' nd 1 in Dakota. There is an increase 8 i the other Territories, and in New * !ngland the average decline is 4 8 oints and indicates a reduction of v ,000,000 of bushels from tho expec ition on the let of July. No reporta geming the result of the thresh- ' \ i ing of Winter wheat are received ex cept m the South. In Texan the out come ia greater than was: expected and higher ratio yields are reported. OTHER CHOPS.-The average for oats has declined from 97 to OG, which is 4 points higher than in August of | laBt year. Bye averages 94, showing continued improvement since the 1st of Jun9. Barley stands, as in the last report, at 92, which indicates about an average crop for any series of five or ten years. Theie is an in crease in area of buckwheat and the condition averages 95. ? medium crop of hay is assured by an average of 93. Tobacco makes a general av erage of 91. The average for pota toes is 95 against 97 last month. SPLENDID CORN.-Mr. Jonathan M. Miller exhibits at the Chronicle office some specimens of native corn stalks, raised by him near Augusta, that merit attention. These stalks are at least fourteen feet high. The ears, two enormous oneB to each stalk, are ten feet from the ground. The seed from which these grand stalks sprang is known as the Holley varie ty. Mr. Charles Holley originated this peculiar growth, and by so doing proved a benefactor to the swamp planters. The ears growing so high up on the stalk are placed beyond danger from freshets. We doubt if any corn in this country can surpass the Holley variety, for all good qu di ties, and it seems certain that none approaches it for swamp planting. Augusta Chronicle. Superintendent at Graceville. The office of Superintendent of thc Graniieville Manufacturing Company has been vacant for several months, and during the time of the repairs on the mill and extensive improvements in the old grauite factory the double duties ol President and Superintend ent have beeu 6Ued by President H. H. Hickman. Now, however, that the busy season is approaching, and preparations ar? making to run the improved mill to its full capacity, a successor to Mr. Howland has been appointed by the President and directors, and they have appointed Mr. T. H. Rennie, a young employee of the company for the past two or threeyears. Mr. Ren nie isa bright and business like young man well posted in mill and mechani cal matters, and ie perhaps the young est mill superintendent in the country, bbing only 32. He has been an over seer in the card room, and has proven so capable and promising that he has been promoted to his present position. This is a very high compliment, he will The policemen on guard about Gen. Grants tomb spent much of their time yesterday in denying relic hunt ers permission to pass the ropes, but two men wearing Grand Army badges were indefatigable in their efforts Finally they accost ?d Eugineer Kel logg and asked him to get them some little trifle that they could carry home as a memento of their visit. Mr. Kellogg picked up a piece of snow white maible that came from the block the coffin rests were hewn from, and which had been used as a wedge in transporting them from thu yard. It was the only piece he could find, and he was puzzled which man to gi ve it to. "I fought with him at Vicksburg," said one soldier, eyeing the piece of stone as eagerly as a hungry .school boy would look at a big red apple. 'I went through the Wilderness with him." remarked the second ap plicant, as if he believed thal ought to settle it. "Well, I'm not enough of a lawyer to discriminate between two such claims as that," said Mr. Kellogg, "bot I see another way out of the difficulty." He crossed over to ono of the masons, aLd JR little lump of marble passed under the mallet and chisel. . In a few seconds Mr. Kellogg came back with two pi ?cea, each one about the size of a goose egg. He gave one piece to each soldier, and sent them away radiant with happi ness.-New York Times, August 9. AFTER TUE FUNERAL.-General Grant's funeral, cost $20,000. N- w comes the pay. New York was en riched millions of dollars by the pageaut and ought lo foot the bi HP but does not .volunteer to do no.
