THE AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK. Messrs Editors:-For several years I have been a "regular con tributor" to the agricultural press of the Southern Stdtes, and though I have been frequently denounced as a "scold" and a crusty ill-temper ed "old fellow," I have been persist ent and consistent in my advice to planters and farmers to abandon the foolish course which has led them in to their present unfortunate co::di tion. The satisfaction ofsaving to one's frivnds in trouble, "Did't I tell you so ?' is a very poor one, un less by saying it you can turn your friends from the errors which caused their trouble, and cause them to seek and pursue the only path that will lead to relief. The experience of the past ycar has-demonstrated to the most con firmed un6elievers that the all-cot ton and no-provisions systei of planting will not pay, and that even a good cotton crop, raised on money borrowed at 21 per cent. a mondi, will leave us poorer than we were before we put a seed in the ground. For seven years we have depended exclusively on a big cotton crop to be sold at big prices to yield money enough to pay our debts, purchase all our provisions and plantation supplies, and "run us another year." We have made the big cotton crop,: and, taking an average of the last seven years, we have received a good price for it, b.ut when we had1 paid the grain dealers and( pork packers, tl'c mule raiser aLnd fertili zer manufacturer, anid had paid our* factors what we owed for advances - and endorsements, we have found that instead of having moniey to "run us another year," we cannot begin to pay what we owve, and that if our murchants cannot agree "to tote us until we make another crop," we must abandon our plan tations. I know that such is the case in the State in which I live, and I believe it is true of all the cotton States. Is it not as plain as the sun at noonday, thait had we pursued the opposite policy -raised our own meat, breadstuffs, mules and horses-we wot'hl be to day a rich, happy and independent* people ? We would have kept our capital at home, increased our in come, improved our stock, enriched our land, and known nothing of the. miseries of 231 per cent. a month and mortgage liens. We have been the overseers of Northern anmd English spinners, with wages di minishing in proportion::s our pro-* duction increases, with farms~ poor er, stock leaner, fences in wure' condition, cribs arad smaoke-huse, ~al pockets emptier, credit weaker. add everythirg but debt and mis fortune scantier than when we reached our homes in 18i5, after our weary march from Apomattox~ anid Greer.sboro. We boast of our genial climat':, teeming soil, and our capacity to rai.se everything that is requirel for the support and comfort of man and beast, and our boast would be just did we avail ourselves of our opportunities; but what is the fact? Go into our towns and villages, see the barrels upon barrels of flour, sacks of corn mountain high, hogshcads of meat, bales of hay, and where do they come from Not one bears the stamp of a cot ton State. Why the very eabbages and onions that we eat come to us in crates from Massachusetts. "We ihavent time to fool with veg etables.' The lesson has been very rude. We are just now en-: tering upon another agricultural year. Are we going to profit by our severe experience by mending our ways, or are we going to try to get some merchant to "tote us another year," and with fer+ilize., provisions and supplies purchased on credit at 21 per cent. a month, gather more hands and go in for a bigger cotton crop than ever ? I hear some sturdy farmer an swer, "What do you mean, by mending our ways ?" I answer, hesitatingly, "My friend, if yo)u have been o* one those who: have relied oen a Si cotton crop to1 make you prosperous; have had your corn crib in St. Louis, and ,our swoke-house in Cincinnati, ,nd have had 'no time to fool' with uch things as oats, wheat, rye. >arlev, clovc-r, turn-Is, peas pot. oes and1 garden vegetables, havi r acnowv at 40 P(r Cent. >er anani?o. to Vay all yoiur Tiovi v(, 111- tl Ir O 10:* ..1 :h I .u yo raii >C good ottoI CroIA have never been abl, o pay out at Cristmas-I say,i WO~ PIC::I lI1 *1j! .11:( a 'ci, V o!ll ad niaemI ,v ur w:tyvs ii li n ow, ) lrepa ring for ai llalltinIg a lorn ei,1r) larg no te slo Y y 'ourself ill alnl-ancc arid to give -ou some Lo sell to VOur nin- ro lucing neigihb.rs. I tell yon that t is far c'eaper to make ycir own orn tharn to buy it, when ywu ti ke nto account the costly railroad !reight, the waste, the expense of 2auling from the depot or landing, :he wear and tear of miules and ragons, loss of tiwe of field hands, .n addIt*on to the loss of fod,ier, b 1;1cks, a the run of the fields .or the stock. "You can also mend your ways by planting for a large oat crop, id thus providing for your stock :he cheapest, most nutritive and ,nost certain food crop that I know. Y7ou thus save your corn for bread, inl feed your animals at far less 3xpense. But when I say plant a arge oit crop, I do not mean, select hc worst anild barest land on the plantation, scatter 'over a few bushels of half-cleaned stunted >ats, scratch them in with scooter plows ;but I mean to sow two bushels ainil a half or three bushels per acre of good, clean seed on Tod land which has been well and leeply plowed. "Then, I say,makc arrangements to raise your own meat. You may not be able to accomplish this the lirst or second year, but you can make a be-inning now, and every year you will be richer and nearer to perfect indepciidence. Where :o1rn is abundn:i1t the attempt will be easier and the depredation of negroes less frequent. "Mend your ways further, by phnting wheat for flopr, rye and barley for pasture, and for turning lnder as green manure to improve tihe land; by planting clover, the cheapest andl best of all fertilizers: by increasi ng the number and unaproving the yalityv of your ~toek ; by r-aisinrg hayv and root ~rops for their support; by improv ag your cattle shelters, stables and barns, by payving constant atten :ion to the gathering arid preser ration of the manure ; hy having in aibundant supply of vegetables in 4 fraits; by nmakinig a beginniiin g ~o raise yo)ur own umuhes and ho>rses; y makingyour homes more comn ortable and more attractive. You ~anniot do all this in: one or two v'ears: ~ut you can begini and resolve to persevere, and if you do, you will ~ertainly succeed. If you have jot means to cultivate all your and, cultivate half or even a quar :er of it. Raise what you need to ;upply your family, an1d then plant :ottonI to pa:y for your groceries, ron amid clothing'. ' But vou say you are in debt, anid ~ou must raise cotton to pay out.

OF THE GREAT REMEDY FOR~ CONSUMPTION which can be enired by a timelyv resort to this stand ardi prep1aration, as has been proved by the hundreds of testimonials received by the prloprietors. It is acknowl edged by many prominent phIlysicians to be the most reliale preparation ever in traduiced for the relief and cure of all Lung complaints, andI is offered to th pulc santioedby the experience of over forty years. When resorted to in season it sel dom fails to effect a speedy cure in the most severe cases of Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough, Influecnza, Asthma, Colds, Sore Throat, Pains or Sore ness in the Chest and Side, Liver Complaint, Bleeding at the Lungs, &c. Wistar's Balsam does not dry up a Cough, and leave the cause beChind, as is the case with mlost p)reparations, but it loosens and cleanses the lungs, and allays irritation, thus removing the cause of the complaint.
