What Constitutes a good Farmer. Our friend and correspondent, G. D. Harmon, thus asks and answers this im portart question,in a late number of the Cotton Planter : If the Disposer of human events should permit this world to stand a thousand years longer, the time will surely come when every man who tills the earth will be compelled to be a good farmer or slarre to death. This is a strong expres sion, but as true as it is strong. Old fogyisni may continue to denounce those who labor to improve the agriculture of the South; but the time will come when their posterity will see their stupid fully, and be forced to improve the soil which their ancesters butchered. The day has already come with England, France, Ger many and Ireland, where agriculturists are compelled from true necessity to stn dy their profession, and improve their systems of farming economy, to an extent limited only by their power to do so. If they were to pursue the course tha t the planters of the South are npw pursuing, in less than twenty years they would either starve to death, or bex forced to leave " their own, their native land." But the question arises, what is a "good farmer?" Their is much diversity of opinion on this question. Sometimes the men who run over the most laud per hand, and drag out of the coil the most money, regardless of the wear aud tear of land, and team and force. are called good far mers, yea, the best farmers. Dut is that true * I admit it not. To dc ) would be equivalent to admitting that the doctor who made the most money, regardless of the lives lie destroyed, was the best doc tor. The one would be about as true as the other-both are utterly false. A "good farmer," according to the best and most intelligent agriculturists of the South, is the man who improves his stock and takes care of his force. And I think this definition of the terim is correct. No man, however intelligent on other subjects, no mnater how much irmoney lie may be makingfor the time being. should be considered a "good farmer," in the strictest sense of that term, who grossly neglects the improvement of his soil and force and stock. No man who cultivates the hills and permits his fields to wash into yawning gullies, and turns them out for his children to reclaim, at the cost of much labor and expense, or leave their old homes, or starve, is to any extent, whatever, a good farner. No man who denoinces agricultural improvement, and agricultural journals, totes corn in one end of his sack, and a rock in the other end to balance it because his "daddy" done' it, cain possibly be a "good frnicr." -Southern Fruit Itaising. There is no branch of domestic econo my more neglected at the South, than the culture of' fruit. It is true, there is an awakened spirit among the few, but as et, not among the masses. The grape is exciting a universal interest. as much for the desert as for wine. There are nurseries, and extensive fruit orchards springing up) in the vicinity of' our comi merc'ial towns, which are a credit to the country, and a source'of profit to the pro prietors. But this is not all the country needs. Every proprietor in the country -every owner of a half acre lot, owes to himself, his children and his country, to plant fruit trees. Land holders of the South! cancel the 8ebt fou. owe to pos terity this present fidi. You should plant this tfall at least one million fruit trees. The large planter should plant the apple, pear', peach, grape, and fig, not only for his white family, but for' his negroes. Ripe fruit, in its season, is cheaper and healthier than bacon. Even the small proprietor may have fr'uit trees enough to save much of the expense of living. Say not that your soil does not suit the apple, pear, peach or grape, for on a small sede, y'ou may make a soil to suit any of them. TUhis is the great ad vantage you have over those whio never read. You may all growv peaches as well as Moses, or cher 'ics as wvell as Peters, or strawberries as well ais Peabody. or grapes as wvell as Axt, if you will but study how to do it. The smallest farmier among you thinks it .s la ibor lost, or time misspent, to study how he may best fatten his pig. He does not think of building a pen for his pig, and then feeding him on shucks and wa ter, but he studies out and experimente with that food which will produce thi greatest amount of pork. Now, if w. wvill divest ourselves of the erroneois idea that t'ruit is but an article of luxur', amnd not of food, and look at in tile trie 'light in which God designed it, wec sh~l I find it as much to our interest to stuly what will feed a fruit tree as what vill feed a hog. There can be no excuse for any family being without fruit. The aire reliable nurseries all around us. '[he hS 9 grape grow so raupidly fromi the emttimgs, anid the apl and peach ti'om the seeds, that any famnily, no) matter how 11oor, hmay have an orchar'd. Our mission is, to encourage thle pro0. dluction of good fr'uit among the masses, und when we see every householder in the land sitting under hIs own vine and fig tree, we shall feel that we have accom-~ plished our mission. Whitewashing. TIhere is nothing, perhaps, whlich con tributes more decidedly to the healthiness of a homestead than whitewash. It is a 'lheap article, and any' one wvho can lift a bru'Lsh can~ put it on. Fences and rough sidinig, as well as the inside of'the tie-ups, shmed.< andi other out-buildings, and also1 the w~alls and ceilings of the cellars, should aunuailly be painted over with a good coat of whitewash. The Spring is the most eligible season for the application, as there is generallyv sufhicienit leisure at tha't time befibre Spiig's wor'k conmes on., anid as the disintieting andi de'odor'izinig action of the lrie will tend to prevent those unhealthy iasmoas which are generated ar'otnd most dwellings, by the decay of v'egetable mat tem', and the heat of' tho vernal and Sumi melLr suu1. White wall4, and long lines (of whmitei fences gleaming amid luxuriant and emi bowering foliage, give to a farmn establigh ment an appearance of neatness and rural elegance and comfort, indescribably at. tractive to the man of taste, and can in no way be so effectually aind economrical ly secured as by aiving them a fewv co-ats of whitewash. The ceilings of' bed-rooms, cookeries, and wash-rooms, should also be frequently whitewashed. If' the walls are not prepared, the brush should pass over them likewise. The lime will not only tend to sweeten the air and prevent epi demical diseases, but fill uip the thousand imperceptible cracks which always exist in plastering, and through which more cold air will find its way in a windy Win. ter's day, than can be neutralized by many an armful of hickory, maple or wvhite oak. The whitzwashing of cattle'and horse stalls, ais well as the inside of hog cotes atnd heneries, not only renders them more Jmeunhw bnt nrevents the animals and. fowls from being infested with troublesome aini filty vermin.-N. E. Farner. Stick Together! Whon iniilst the wreck (4 fire and smoke, When cannonus reoti the skies asun ler, Amil lierce dragouns with quickening stroke 'pon the reeling regiment thunder, The ranks close up to Ahiirp command, Till helmet's feather touches feather: Coinpact the furious shoc: they stand, And conquer! for they stick together! Wh-:n now 'uid eiouds of woe and want, Our coumrades' wails rise fast and faster, And charging madly on oar front Conic the black legions of disaster; Shall we present a wavering baud And fly like leaves before wild weather! No ! side by side anl hnnd in hand. We'll stand our grouwd aud stick together! God gave us hands-one left, one right; The first to help ourselves, the other To stretch abroad in kindly might And help along our faithful brother; Then if you see a brother fall And bow bla head before the weather. If ycou be not a dastard all, You'll help him up and stick together. Value of Railroads to Farmers. Wu notice in some of the agricultural journals complaints of the farmers again-t railway companies ; that they take up the best lands of the farm, do not protect the lands, and often kill the sheep and cattle, and are of doubtful utility. This is a ve ry short-sighted view of the influence of railroads upon the farming interests. By opening new markets for districts remote from the city they often double the value of farms within a few years. Instead of a dull market the farmers all along the line of rvad find it difficult to meet the pressing demands for milk, butter, cheese, salves, lambs, pigs, and almost everything that the farm produces. Hupbandry thrives under the stimulus of a hungry market. Almost everything brings cash in hand, instead of the old store pay with a settle mneut once a year. Farm lands are in brisk demand, and go up in price forty, liftv and a hundred pe~r cent. We believe that railroads have added enough to the talue of the farmis of this country to pay for one half the original expense of build inig them, enormous as it is. We were conversing with an intelligent farraer a few days since, who lives upon the line of the Syracuse and Binghampton railroad. The stock was worthless, and he had lost the six hundred dollars he had put into it. But he said he considered it one of the best ivestments he ever made, for it had adde(d ten thousantd dollars to the value of his farm. .Farmers, then, can aflord to put up with the trifling inconvenience of railroacls. It is safe for theta to sub scribe fbr a share of the stock, according to their means, if they can thereby secire the bitilding if a r :1ad ad open :t readv market 1',-r their produice.-N, Y. Time.-.. Alfallit and Sheep Raising. California papers have a good deal to say about the tunous Alt!fa, and there is a ir'owinr determination imaiieZsted to give it an extensive trial. A lae itumber of the San -Iumi rein Ir ip aediut ays "Some mon lis sinie, we directed (lie attention ofi our readiers to tile impo~rtanle of cultivating the Altit dit grenerally through out the State, as thi. most reliable anld available grass for autumn pasturaJge. In proof of its excellence, we mentioned a gentlemian livinug in San Joaquin county who haid, nuv a few acres, cut four timnes the quantity of hay a :to e.r of wibal grasses usuatlly prodluces, hesidesham excellent fadl and winter pasturalge for his mileh cows. Since then, quite a favorable imnpressionl has obitainted amng valley fatroers ill regard to the adaptabii tv of the Alfitlfit to their wants. Now, what we wish to say here is, that, as the attenltiun of stock raisers is heing tulrned towards the mountain lands as the best ground for ra~ising shleepi, would it not be a'i excellent experiment at least, for some of our farmers to introduce it here ? It would doubtless succeed. Sheep do not rquir'e any other tood than suceh as our hills supply. from the month of .February to Novemfber1. But later than November. they begin to fall an~ ay in flesh, and when grealt numbers ar~e grazed together, alag pet' cent. is oftenl lost by starvati'on. 1f the patrons ofagriiculture, in the montain counties, succeed at all in stock-breeding, sheep must be thleir' staple. From the extreme drought and burning heat of our autonnmis, it wvill never lbe possible for the mountains to do much at raising horua'd cattle. They require to~o much food. Sheep are different; they are prec'isely adapted to our climiate, and reiquire but lttle food. BUt that hulile they lumlst have the year round, and we believe the sowing of the Alfalfa w~ otlid seure it. In a few years it wouldi spiread over a large. scope of country, anid thousands or' acs of landi, now without any v'alue whatever, would be miade to contribute largely to our wealth."
