Som.- Inquiries Suggested by tho Close of the Ytar. , (Southern Cultivator. ) Up to yio present month tho farmer han been looking forward. Tho con summation ot'lus phuis, tho final out come ?f his labor and toil, in tho simpo of colton hales and othor orops, have been tlio objective points before him. Now,, thosooeas?'to bc matters ofcx ncctfon and become mattera ol' fact. Wo hope his exj)battitlons have not bceii too large and his crops too small ; we truijt^tju?t'hfiviiiii s<nwn wisely, he ha? reajiffd IMintifully. Hut, however, well ho has done, no might have done butter; fanning has not reached per fection and a ret ro meet may he very useful. Let us go hack together and review (no year's work, booking at it now in the light ol' results, was your year's work well planned? lu' (ho Hist place wai the work undertaken proportionate to your means; did you attempt to do more than you could well manngu; did you attempt to do mole than von could well manage; did you have enough horse-power" to work to best ad yan tugo j did von tnako all thosubstitutiou possible of machines and horse-power in place ol' more costly human power; did you spread out the manure you liad over too many acres; did you buy fertilizers judiciously and economically; did you cultivate your land so as "to save il from waining, and is it in better condi tion how than it was a year ago; how is Hie balance-sheet between expense and receipts? Endeavor to answer these questions in H calm, candid spirit, laying aside all conceit and pride of opinion. Do not attribute to seasons what might have been prevented by foresight ami energy on your part. " lt is an old trick of farmers to explain all failures by laying them at the door of had seasons. Difficulties occur in every occupation ; i he successful man is lie who anticipates, provides for and over comes them. Hut to our quostions. Was your work well planned: did you "have fixed plans or did you just work along as woathor and circumstances suggest ed? To illustrate: There arc certain kinds of work which can be done on wet days and when tho ground is too wet to plow-going to mill, hauling manure, gathering litter, hauling wood making composts, Otc. Did you always look ahead and arrange, so that any of these, which of necessity ntUSl be done, wore done and out of tho way when tho time for plowing came? When the period for planting a crop drew nigh and preparation tor it could not bc deterred, did it. lind you willi composts in sacks or barrels already hauled out and distributed conveniently about tho fiolds to which they were applied? or were your teams stopped then to do hauling when every animal should have hoon hitched to a plow? Had you studied out carefully the best appliances and most expe dios method ol' putting out. composts, and was everything ready to do the work rapidly and well? If your land was rolling and thc rows had to he run ona level, as they always should be, had you established your linos of lev?la or guides, or had the plowueu some times lo wait tor you to run ono, and if the hurry was very great, were thc rows run by guess and therefore im perfectly; was the quantity ot compost to he applied to an acre decided on, and were there ony arrangements to guage il? A most excel ?cut plan is to make a memorandum in advance of all work ti? bo-doiu,*, adding thereto anything irria* may bo suggested hy dolly : uhttirvatfyn aud oxm-rioncO.

Do you think you CHU mako such ?argo percentages on money med in farming? It is doubtful I? thoro hoe boon au average of eight lier cent, mad? by farmers during tho last ten years. Scarcely any legitimate business pays moro than Unit. If von did not havo the necessa ry working capital lo cult?valo aa much as von (lld. iL would have been safer, it would have been better to have Undertaken less. What profit and pleasure is thoro in cultivating thirty or forty or Illly more additional acres, tho whole yield of which, and more too, must go to Mr. Merchant? As has boen tersely and aptly sahl, yon simply make yourself the merchant's overseer over" free Negroes, willi a guarantee that they shall make him so many bales ol' cotton. Had you not bettor save yourself tho worry and vexation of spirit ; had you not bettor let your lund test and recuperate? If inonov can ho hoi rowed at soven per cont.,'willi a reasonable piospect of making ten per cent, on its uso, one mi-'lit be justified In borrowing; but how is it when money is borrowed at fifty per cent., with a vory cortolu prospect of not making moro than eight or ton per cent, with it? Is it not pan-ilng strange that year after vearmon will moko such venturest Dabil and a blind, unreasonablo hope alono must load them to do lt. rhore havo been contraction and siirinkago in almost every business-lot farmers follow thc good exampln also. Lut down tho number of acres cultivated, especially In caso of crops that require much work; make up your mind to strike tho first blow at tho cotton field. It has made von tho slave ot the mer chant and placed you at the morey of the negro. Strike for Independence of both. Select tho best land yon have, ospoolally that which ls rich in humus, and concentrate upon a few aerea o. lt the labor of preparation ano the mannro you cr.u got and give the crop the moat thorough cultivation-aim for two bules to tho nero instead of I two acree to the bale.

Ho affirms that low breeds ot fowls arc profitable iu placea remoto (rom that whom they originated. Ho ?talos that the Houdans aro valuable, in tho department of Franco wintro tLoy have loni; been raised, tor tho reasons lhat tho incubator is thorn used for hatch ing oggs, and that there is a local de mand for ohiokotia that furnish very choice Heall. Tho Crevo Cours aro popular and valuable iu Normandy, cb lolly because lino grass ia plonty in that department of France. Taken to moat other parts ot' tho country, however, they soon loso their charac teristics and become of vory little value. The like, ho says, is true of tho Houdans, which havo gono to otiior countries uiit| boon welcomed by breeders on account of tho reputation they acquired in meir native home. Tho Dorking, which is tho favorite ta ble fowl in England, lie linns, dwin dles in Franc and becomes a vory in ferier bird. Fowls of either of thoso breeds begin to deteri?ralo as soon as they mo takon lo piucos having differ ent climatic conditions from that where they have buen long raised aud wheiv a peculiar pruOtioo is followed in brooding them.

Ho states lhat tho Houdans aro essential pen fowls. '1 hey aro great caters ami ure wanting in ability or energy to se em o food for Ihotnaolve*. They aro of lillie value when thc incubator is not Used for halalling pulposus, and aro entirely unsuitable for thc ordinary farm. Tho author cf this work has no praise to spend ou tho Brahmas, Co chins, or J a panoso fowls. Ho admits that they aro very large, (hut tiley pro duce eggs in proportion to tho size of tho binls thal lay them, und thal they arc good senors and careful mothers. But lui remarks that when eggs aro sold by the do/.en. instead of by weight, there is no inducement for supplying tho market with those of very largo size. Ho thinks that incubators aro much choaner tuan hens for hatching eggs, and bullo VOS Ihul tho tim? will soon como when they will bo iu gen eral use in all countries where fowls aro kept. Tho flesh of all tho largo breeds of fowls is course and lacking in tlavor. lt ranks below good beef or prime mutton. Tho Langshan fowla, iu tho estimation of this writor, rank iar above tho Brahmas and Cochins. Spanish hens aro praised for produc ing many and largo oggs. It is ad mitted that most Spanish fowls are poor eating, and thai they aro not suited to countries having a vory cola climate. Tho Hamburgs aro spoken well of as layers, though thoir eggs aro so small that (ow liko to eat them from tho sholl. Tho fowls aro easily kept, however, and suited to tho farm, and furnish very good eating, especial ly when they are young. ^ M.

And, perhaps, this is as good a place as any to tell what a corres pondent in ono of our most valued ex changes says in regard to raising calves without milk. Hu says he bas raised just tts lino calves a? can be raised by the method to be described. It is this: For three days be 'lets tho calf suck tue cow. Thon he takes it entirely away from the cow, and feeds upon hay toa and milk, beginning with ono-quarter of toa and tbroe-quartors of milk, footling it blood warm. Grad ually ho diminishes the milk, until the food is exclusively hay tea. He says that hay toa-the hay must be the best - is much better than grass, and that tho calf likes it much better. Mill stuffs may be added to the tea as the ealf seems to need it, but in small quantitios. A littlo first-rate hay is placed whero the calf can get at lt. and ho will soon learn to nibble at it The writer is enthusiastic over his plun, and certainly it is cheap, lt will Eay a great deal better to try it on a oiler oalf than it usually will to soil it to the butcher.
