MOT EDUCATED FARMEES
IMPROVED IMPLEMENTS AND INTELLIGENT
LABOR.
?
The Farmer has Need of <iooil Sense
an<l Kducatloii to Make Farming:
a Success?"Book Farming;*' <o
the Front,
T think the Cultivator has often told us that
the old and erroneous Idea, that "any tool can
be a successful farmer," has become obsolete;
ami the custom of educating; all the smart
boys for the professions, and leaving the dull
ones for the farm, should be no longer practiced.
Industrial schools should be established
for the education of fanners, as well ;is the
other professions. The farmer needs more independent
thought and the capacity for deeper
research and inquiry, because it is his business
to study the profoundest laws of nature
and the most mysterious works of the Uleat
Creator. He should understand the nature
and character of the soil, the manure or fertilizers
to be applied to it, the clleet of air, sunshine,
rain and freezes upon his land, and the
adaptation of crops to congenial soils. To do
this, he must have a knowledge of geology,
mineralogy, agricultural chemistry, philosophy
and other natural and physical sciences.
He in list understand the higher mathematics,
in order to be successful in the measurement
of his lauds, the capacity of his hands and
tools, the improvement of his implements,
and the vjUuc of his productions or crops.
When times of depression, like the present,
come, and everybody around him is Paying,
"Cotton is too low to raise it." "Corn, wheat,
oats, elover, and grass never did bring any
money in this cotton conn try," and "It don't
3>ay t? fiirm," he must know Ijow 10 successfully
battle, by precept and example, against,
such specious arguments, and to drive ou ami
not be discouraged in his business.
Did notour fathers make money raising cotton
at six and seven cents? They certainly
did and grew rich often. "Hut," these grum"blers
say, "they had slave labor and fresh
land." Free labor since the war is cheaper,
because our fathers spent more money in
raising young negroes, in the suoportand care
of the old and infirm, in slothing, medicines,
vtc., than labor now costs, and by the intelligent
use of commercial fertilizers, our old
lands yield more than their fresh lands. I?ut
the great secret is; they raised a'l their supplies,
and bought nothing to eat, but even
Hold provissions every year. Now, let the
Southern farmers raise not only a sulliciency,
but h little surplus of the corn, wheat, oats,
clover and grasses that will give them meat,
milk, butter, eg-rs, and nearly all the necessaries
wf life at home; then our cotton will be a
surplus, even at six and seven cents. By raising
our supplies, we will reduce the cotton
>111 nmw tho? onalitv JUld
VIUJ?ilUU llnlr.M ? t.
price. Every farm or admits ;ill of this, but
still does not change. They will, however,
tinri that very soon: for our farmers are now
changing fast, seeding more small grain, raising
more stock. seeding more clover and
grasses, and preparing to plant more ccrn.
On the other hand, when times of prosperity
<*ome, and cotton commands a good price, we
become so reckless and extravagant that the
North and West can hardly supply us with
corn and bacon, horses and mules. Then
there is 110 end. during those "flusii" times, to
the purchasing of new goods; new wagons,
* top-buggies, machinery, etc., arc sent for from
the North and we entirely exhaust the stock
of fertilizers, so that all the factories in the
count-y connot supply the demand.
Now, if our farmers were better educated,
we would be more practical and tar seeing,
would provide for these unhappy extremes,
* and could strike a sale, reliable and remunerative
medium.
The tanner must have the intelligence or
good sense and energy to constantly watch
v.*.? lo.wic nnH erous. that lie may know when
to prepare and plant, how and when to prepare
and plant, how and when to sow and
reap, how to cultivate his crops, and how to
have an intelligcnt/jare over his stock, tools,
etc. All of this requires deep study, independent
thought and constant, activity on
our part. I have never seen a real intelligent,
reading and thinking farmer, who has devoted
all his time and talent (with a proper degree
of energy) to his business, ever fail in
farming, provided he sticks 1*0 it. But, generally,
as soon as he makes some money at
farming, and gets a little ahead, he must get
irichthen; he puts up a store and becomes a
merchant: or buys a steam-engine, puts up a
mill and becomes a machinist, or the Legislature
appoints or the people e'ect him a
Justice of the Peace, so that he devotes
all his time and talents t*> law. So then
he becomes a public leader and belongs to the
neighborhood; then it requires better clothes,
more style in his manner of living, and more
extravagance, so that me ocauuiui ncms aim
.rich harvests that once knew him knows him
aio more forever, and he soon spends all that
he has accumulated on the farm. For the
sabove reasons, and for many others, such as
the variety of soils, changes of seasons,
manipulations of fertilizers and the peculiarities
of his own business, he must think and
act independently. The fanner is not like the
doctor, who goes when sent for, names the
<lisease from the diagnosis of his patient,
stud supplies the remedy recommended by
his standard medical works; nor like the
lawyer, who sits at his office and awaits the
visits of his clients, and makes his speech
from the statement of his client and the testimony
of his witnesses according to law;
nor like the merchant or mechanic, who
awaits the coming of his customers, and sells
thein such goods as they desire, or does the
work according to the demand or tils customers.
The farmer lias no one t<? conic to him
and tell tiitn when to plant and when to gather,or
when and how to cultivate, or what his
Sand needs and how toapply it, and how to
rotate .his crop*, and other ininuti;i\ lor llie
most profit to his purse and his land. All
-these things he must know himself by constant
thought and act ion.
The want of this knowledge and higher education
among the farmers of this generation
might he supplied, to a great extent, by rend- \
ing and studying our agricultural journals,,
aud following the advice of their able and ed-'
ucaipd corresjiondents. In this age of pro<r-j
ressand enlightenment, let ns do away with
the old and ignorant id<-a that, "hook farming
won't do." Inithc name of reason and good t
sense, g4ve us more book-know bilge and a
jiigher degree ol education in our noble vocation,
so that .thereby we may make it more
honorable and lucrative. Then, and not till
then, will our young men delight in the
pleasure of rural ii!e and the blessings of agricultural
pursuits.
Let the other professions have their share
of the young .men, for these time-honored
pursuits must be constantly recruited; let us
have our colleges for the education of the i
youth of our land who desire to enter these
professions; let its have our Suite universities,
in connection with oureu!icg?s, sustain-1
*-d by the different States. This wo will heat-Idly
endorse. for God knows we would not
have it otherwise. Uut let us also have more
^educatedyoung men on ^he farm. L< t us
Jiave more agricultural and mechanical colleges,
either separate or in connection with
!./? ?!%/> mnu'np
our universities, so ui<u un , .... ,
the reaper, the cultivator, ete.. may be guided
by skillful hands ami directed l?y cultivated
brains. Then our country will soon reach u
<iesrree of prosperity never before attained,
uml the waste and uncultivated stretches in
our beloved "Sunny South" shall "blossom
like the rose."

Diseussing grafted varieties of fruit
trees, a writer in Harper* v Afitf/asiuc
says: This opportunity to grow diifercnt
kinds of fruit on one tree imparts a new
and delightful interest to the orchard.
The proprietor ean always he on the lookout
for something new and line, and the
few moments required in grafting or budding
make it his. The operation is so
simple and easy that he ean learn to perform
it himself, and there are always
plenty of adepts in tho rural vicinage to
give him his initial lesson. While he
will keep the standard kinds tor his main
supply, ho can gratify his taste and eye

well and sprinkle with dry dust or saint,
j Make the coops so the sun can shine in them i ^
J every day. Never lot young turkeys out in j s
I the dew. as it is very injurious to them. Keep; f
them out of rain when young, as they cannot i v

i After they are two months old they will not! t,
j bo much trouble; they will then make tlier
I greater part of their living for themselves on |

Sweet Potato CtiUiire.
Southern Cultivator. i
The sweet potato, perhaps, is the most eat a- t
I ble ancl delicious ol' nil esculents, and the re- c
gionsadapted to its culture are quite extensive.
They may be grown for family use, if c
not for market, as far north as Rochester, N.
Y., and Lansing. Mich. They are adapted to
! all Southern States. Mr. Jerkins, of Winona, s
\ Ohio, has a plan (or saving the tubers in large
I quantities that is simple ami ellective. Mr. s
I II. M. Minster, in the Rural World, has an inl
expensive and simple mode of saving them c
i for lamily use. When ripe and dry and in
good order, he stores them in a largo dry!
goods box, tight, and thickly lined with old :
j newspapers, and places them in a moderately *
I warm place near a stove pipe. In this way, be
says, "I have kepi them perfectly sound from
' year to year; even left boine in the box the 1
second year."
i We arc solicitous that the public should j
know more about the culture, keeping and
marketing of this most delicious of roots eat,
en ?y man : and most animals consume them *=
| wit h very great advantage. Every farmer, if
; his 'situation will allow, should grow largely
ot this important crop. Ilcshould know that s
, it contains a large amount of nutritions and j
; desirable food, good at all times and easily ^
cooked.
Doubtless the sweet potato will soon become
an imnortant and valuable article of export a- a
i tio i. The recent, improvement for their preservation
during fransit will cause ureat- in- p
crease in production and sales. As the season
for planting 1ms arrived, farmers who have (j
not plants of the choice varieties should proj
cure them at once. .

I soil, covering the nuts two or three inch- j
jes deep, and packing the earth firtnlv
over them, is all that is needed. It is not
j practicable to plant in the fall, or where J
squirrels and field mice abound, which a
are very apt to steal the nuts, it is better
to defer planting until spring. In this h
jcase the nuts have to be kept in sand over v
! winter. To preserve nuts over winter ?

Best Seasons for Planting. I'
I How late we can sow or plant with a reasonable
prospect of getting a crop, depends very n
much on the season, and .somewhat on the
I character of t he soil. We can plant an early T
i variety of not a toes as late as the middle of
I June. Hut you will, as a rule fret a far better r'
crop if planted in May. I have had good corn 1
planted the first, week in June. ltutahn?as
I have done well sown the 4th of July. Man- c
gold wurzels will produce a moderate crop
sown any time in June, but if you want a big V
crop, sow in May. I have had a very profitable
crop of beans planted the middle of June. P)
But of course we plant earlier if we can get w
time to do the work. We plant with a drill ?
in rows thirty inches apart, and drop about jj
six beans in hills fifteen inches apart in the
row. The quantity of seed required per acre,
depends on the size of the beans. The white 53
lioston Marrow beans require a bushel per
; acre. 1V: i beans, three pecks per acre. If you C
ilrill in thejseed right along the row, dropping )
j the beans acout an inch apart, you require j (j
i about twlec the quantity of seed. Some ofje
our bean growers think they get enough larg-j j.
< er crops to more than pay for the extra seed,
land for the extra work in pulling the crop.? (j

Sweet I'ofafoe Culture. b
From the latter part of May to July 1th, the
rooted sweet potato sprouts should be trans- j T
| planted to the Held or garden. Iireak the
I land thoroughly, but not necessarily dcep;j(]
low, level and damp lands will not do; high, j v
dry, mellow or loamy soils are best, and the
I fresher the better. Lay oil rows throe and a
half to four feet apart, and in these furrows, j c;
apply two to four hundred pounds of ammoniatcd
superphosphate containing potash per s
nere. If home-made manure is used. i?e sure
that it is old and thoroughly decomposed,
and if possible mix some ashesand acid phos- J:
phate witli it. Cover this furrow by running '
on each side of it with a one horse turn plow,
thus making a narrow ridge, on which plant ! I
the slips eighteen inches apurt; keep clean of j
weeds and gniss until tlie vine begins to run H
freely, then bill up and lay by. Jt is as well j
not to permit the vines to take root between '
the rows, as tbis will diminish the crop. Loos-. 8
