?wkrso!t IniflKgmcer.1 i ?,? i i M. I, i , ,,? i The Future of Southern Agriculture, j ?Thau the lands or Dixie, none on the j globe are more fertile, and none yield a greater variety of the necessities and j luxuries of human life. Within its limits j are soil and climate by nature adapted to ' the growth of every animal and vegeta? ble known to the temperate zones and to most of those ot the tropics. In the past these natural advantages have been but indifferently used by the people of the South. But now. we do not hesitate to declare the timo rife for the inttodirction and general adaptation of all the arts and implements know to the most liberal and advanced system ot agriculture. Nay! more, wo confidently anticipate lor agri? culture in the South, a career more bril? liant, with results more astounding, than tho world has yet seen. 4>ouCltern Agriculture consists natunill} of two great departments, that differ widely and demand widely different sys? tems of culture and management. There are farming which differs in no essential, degree from the same calling as practiced elsewhere, and planting which is peculiar to the South. .Ignorance of this difference has misled maby wuters, and disregard of it has willed many others into reeom mendinir, to the planters plows and sys? tems most excellent, perhaps, for the farm, but: wholly inapplicable to the plantation. Ami because the planter, seeing their tin fituess, declines to alopt ti e u, it has come to be quite theiashion to abuse him as ami-progressive and stupid. Many ot these writers have, of late. Ljone so far as to advocato tho rubbing out of the word Planier, aud substituting Farmer in its stead. Now, all such advice is simply absurd. When the practice of planting ofcases the word planter will go out of use. tHitit then, its use is right and proper and will ho continued. But, though planting is destined to continue the chief occupation of the people iu eight of the Southern States, it by no means follows that it is to remain in statu quo. On the contrary, it isri" the culture of cotton, sugar and rice, the threo specialities ot the plantation, that wo anticipate the greatest improve? ment.; greater, indeed, than has been worked in any other branch ot agriculture during this century. This revolution is to begin, or rather it has begun, iu the developement of unimagined productive nesa-^in ? tho eottou plant, through the agency of applied manures and improved "oultivation ; end is to be continued and extended through the agency of machin eH'i Slave labor was of so low a grade that, in measure, it compelled those who used it to retain an interior system ot cul? tivation. While slavery lasted, it would have been difficult, perhaps impossible, /or the planters u? introduce any very high grade ol cuttere. But. slave labor had one great virtue which counterbalanced all its vices, aud that was its fixedness. It might not be best, 'but it was always at hand. This, to the planter, is an indispensable requisite. He must have his labor always at com? mand. Thin, the only superior virtue of slave labor, was abolished along with slavery. Negro labor is no longer fixed? it is no longer biddable. This last virtue Can besupplied only by machinery. During the existence of slavery the planters leit themselves able to ignore tho aid of ma 'cb'iiiery. But they cannot ignore its help now. Nor will the attempt be made. On lhe contrary, the time is but short when the whistle of the steam plow will resound through the plantations of the South. In no long time, all the powers of mechanism will be taxed ] to meet tho planter's de? mands for biddable labor. And as the do marvd is mot, the number of field hands employed will diminish?until the lowest nutuber is reached. This indeed, is now the problem for the plantet to solve: How to do the work required with the fewest hands. Another piece of advice that the class of writers, above referred to, are contin? ually, of late, urging upon the planters, is the breaking up ot plantations into small farms. Now, the Dixie Farmer is par ex? cellence the friend of mixed husbandry, and never will advise the putting ot all the eggs in one basket. But a variety of crops is just as easily grown on a planta? tion as on a farm. And the Dixie Far? mer, prefers to see the planters add other -cropo to their cotton, sugar and rice, in? stead of substituting other crops for these staples. Planting is naturally a whole? sale business. It never has been .success? fully carried on by retail, and in all proba? bility, it never will be. On the contrary, jbo effect of machinery on planting will undoubtedly be the same that it has been on inauuiucturiiig, that is. to increase the scope and compass of establishments, and the absorption of all neighboring little shops. This introduction of machinery iv.iil increase the breadth of land in culti . vution under one proprietorship ; and it is -about as absurd to regret such u result, us it would ou to desire that innumerable little shops should take the place of the giant factories among manufactures.? From this outlook the future of the South? ern planter is very brilliant. It depends on themselves alone whether this future be realized, or remain only a creation of the imagination. The future of Southern farmers is not ?.'ss promising, if a wise use is but made oi' tiie gifts* ot God, aud the inventions ol man. Naturally, the introduction of new systems of culture, and the use of machin? ery, must be slower on the farm than on the plantation, because the crops, being more numerous*, the operations are more diverse, cabinfor u greater var.ely ol machinery. The tendency, however, is .'the same in both farming and planting, and the necessity is the same* The differ? ence is only in degree. The giv.it staples ot the Southern States, that arc not planting States, are corn, to bacco, wheat, grass, aud livestock of vari? ous kinds. In obedience to tho laws of climate and soil, which control the pro? duction of the farmer, these will continue to be the staples, and whatever improve-1 ment is made will bo in tho quality ot i Dhoso articles. Sheep husbandry, or the pastoral branch of Agriculture will, in all probability, be comparatively more largely increased than any other Branch of stock raising. And next to-this, cattle breeding. At least,; such is the present tendency of things. Of the tilled crops, wh?at seems to have the widest margin, and to be winning ,grx>and most rapidly. The chief products, I thon of tho coming improvement in South? ern firming will, iu A) probability, b-* a large iucreaso of grass, wheat,sheep, and cuitle. with proportionate increase in all other crops now grown. Another product of this improvement be the building of hotter houses for tho farmer and his stock, the making or.better roads, the sys? tematizing of all farm labor, and the ele? vation of the social culture of all the oc? cupants of tho farm. Such, briefly told, is the probable futuro of Soul horn Agriculture, as wo see it. Sneh is the futuro for which wo labor. That it is attainable we have not a shadow of doubt. That it will be attained we cannot doubt, while we keep faith in the Southern people.?Dixie Fanner. A Queer Htmn Book.?A good jokois told of a preacher in Nebraska.'who had dined with a friend just before afternoon services. As it happened, this friend occasionally luxuriated in a smile of the arden:, and sometimes carried a morocco covered flask in his overcoat pocket. By mistake, the minister took the friend's overcoat for his own on his de? parture, and, walking into the pulpit, be? gan the exercises without doffing the gar? ment, it being rather chilly in the room. Looking very ministerially over his congregation, from behind his spectacles, he began drawing from his pocket, as he supposed, his hymn book, with the intro? ductory remark that tho congregation would sing from a particular page which he had selected beforehand. The minister held the supposed book up in full sight of the congregation, and attempted to open it sideways, but it was no go. The situation was realized in a moment, bMt alas ! too late. His reverence was dumfounded, the whole scene was made ludicrous bj* a fel? low in the back part of the congregation, not altogether too sober, who drawled out: "Say, Mister, can we all (hie) jino in that ar hymn ?" Senator Sprague's Southern Pur? chases.?The Dungerness estato, near Fernandina, Fla., recently purchased by Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, com? prises 6,00U acres;-the mansion now on it will bo fixed up for a winter residence. The land is to be reserved for gardens, parks, drives and hunting grounds. The place is called "The Gem of Cumberland Island." Senator Sprague has also pur? chased a fine plantation of 3,000 acres on the same island, which will be devoted to the cultivation of ramie. The lands are of a good quality, with a valuable growth of live oak. The prico paid is ten dollars per acre. -o ? Two electioneering requirements - wind bags and money bag<?. ? Why is a dog's tale a great novelty? Because no one ever saw it before. ? The next style of bonnet is to be a bead and two inches of ribbon, fastened with a hair-pin. ? As soon as a 3-oung gentleman be? gins to make rhymes, he is sure tu get type-us fever. ?? "Have I not offered you every ad? vantage !" said a father to his son. "Oh, yes," replied the 3'outh, "but I could not think of taking advantage of my father."' ? No man can tell from his ledger whether he is rich or poor. He is one or the other, according lo what he is, not according to what he has. ? It may serve as a comfort to us in all our calamities and afflictions, that he who losos anything and gets wisdom is a gainer by the loss. ? An Illinois editor, speaking of a rogue who lived in his vicinity, says: "Tho rascal has broken every bank, jail and Sabbath we have had in this country for the past five years." ? An old lady reading an account of tho death of a venerable nnd distinguished lawyer, who was stated to bo the "father of the Philadelphia bar," thus exclaimed: ''Poor man ! he had a dreadful set of noisy children." ? An imaginative Irishman gave ot teranco to this lamentation: "I return to the halls of my fathers by night, and found them in ruins! I cried out aloud, "My fathers, where are they ? and echo responded, "Is that you, Patrick McCar? thy?" ? The editor of the Holmes County Farmer says : "The woman who mhde the butter which we bought last week is re? spectfully requested to exercise more judgment in proportioning the ingredi? ents. The last batch had loo much hair in for butter, and net quite enough for a water-fall. There is no sense in making yourself bald headed, if butter is thirty five cents a pound." ? "I never knowed anything gained b}' being in too much of a hurry," saul Mrs. Parlington. "When me and my dear Paul \vn? married, ho was in 6iieb a par? ticipation, that he came near marrying one of the bridesmaids instead of me. And he was such a queer man," she con? tinued; "why, he joined the fire wood brigade, and ono night in his hurry ho put his boots on hind part afore, and its he ran along, every body behind got tripped up. The papors was full of crowners' quests on broken legs and lirnbs for a wee^ afterwards,'' and she relapsed into tin abstraction on the ups and downs of life. ? Judge Portly got up an earthquake tableau recently. lie had taken supper with an old thespian friend after the per? formance at tho theatre. Both being in a convivial mood, numerous bottles as well as jokes was cracked- Finally, the judge found himself on the way to the bedside of his stately sponsc. Not wish? ing to disturb the slumber ot the old lady, the Jndge thought he would gropo his way silently to bed in the nearly darkened room; but that last pickled oyster had upset his centre of gravity, and stumbling over an ottoman tho Judge went to the carpet with a force that made the glass ware jingle, the windows rattle and the floor tremble. "Merciful heavens!'' ox claimed Mrs. Portly, as she rose from her i conch and turned on the gas, "My dear, are you hurt?" "No, but I think the earthqiisiko must have reached New! York!" replied the old sport, trying to regain his equilibrium. "I think so too, for I am really shocked !" said Mrs. P., J as she realized the situation. DR. J. W. GURLEY, .DENTIST, Office over M.
