What Constitutes a good Farmer. Our friend and correspondent, G. D. Harmon, thus asks and answers this mi portant question,.in a late number of the Cotton Planter : If the Disposer of human events should pernit 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 slare to death. This is a strong expres sion, but as true as it is strong. Old togyisni 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 folly, 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 stu 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 that the planters of the South are npw pursuing, in less than twenty years they would either starve to death, or be fbrced to leave " their own, their native land." But the question arises, wut 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 soil the most money, regardless of the wear and tear of land. and team and force, are called good far mers, yea, the best farmers. But is that true * I admit it not. To do so would be equivalent to admitting that the doctor who made the most money, regardless of the lives he 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 improres his stock and takes care of his force. And I think this definition of the term is correct. No man, however intelligent on other subjects, no matter how much money he 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 farmer. No man who denounces agricultural improvement, anid agricultural journals, totes corn in one end of his sack, and a rock in the other end to balance it because his "daddy" don.- it, can possibly be a "good former." Southern Fruit taising. 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 yet, not among the uiasses. 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 com mercial 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 #ebt fou- owe to pos terity this present fall. You should plant this fall 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 fruit 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 sedle, you may make a soil to suit any of themi. This is the great advantage you have over those who never read. You ma~y all grow peaches as well as Moses, or cher ies as well as Peters, or strawberries as well as Peabody, or grapes as well as Axt, if you will but study how to do it. The smallest farmer among you thinks it , u labor 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 wv' will divest ourselves of the erroneois iieam that fruit is but an article of luxur-, aind not of food, and look at in the trie 'light in which God designed it, we shilI 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. Thure aire reliable nurseries all around us. The 's ~ai .rape grow so rapidly fromi thme 4lttmngs, andI the apple and peach from t he seeds, that any filyik, no miwter how -poor, mzay have an orchard. Our mission is, to encourage the pro diuction of good fruit among the masses, and 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. There is nothing, perhaps, which cou tributes more decidedly to the healthiness of a homestead than whitewash. It is a cheap article, and any one who can lift a b~rUSh can put it on. Fenees and rough siding, as well ats the inside of the tie-mips, sheds and other out-buildings, anmd also the walls and ceilings of the cellars, should annually be painted over with a good coat of whitewash. The Spring is the most eligible season for the application, as there is generally suifliciert~ leisure at that time befoire Spinmgs work comes on. and as thme dlisinfe'cting and deodorizinmg action of the lime will tend to prevent thiose unhealthy mniasrnaq which are generated around most dwellings, by 'the decay of vegetable mat ter-, and the heat of the vernal and Surm mer Sun. White wval, and long lines of white fences gleaming amid luxuriant anid em bowering foliage, give to a farm 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 and economical ly secured as by aiving them a few coats 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 up the thousand imperceptible cracks which always exist in plastering, and through which nmor-e 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 white oak. The whitawashing of cattle-and horse stalls, as well as the inside of hog cotes and heneries, not only renders them more hmealthy- but prevents the aimals and fbwlsfrom being infested withtroublesome and fdlty vermin.-N. E. Farmer. Stick Together! When midst the wreck cif fire and smoke, When citanons reud the skies naunder, And fierce dra-couns with quickening stroke Upon the reeling regiiment thunder, The ranks close up to sharp command, Till helmet's feather touches feather; Compact the furious shock they stand, And conquer! for they stick together! When now 'mid clouds of woe and want, Our comrades' wails rise fast and faster, And charging mnadly on our front Come the black legions of disaster; Shall we present a wavering baud And fly liko leaves before wild weather! No! side by side and hand in hand, We'll stand our ground and 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 Sao a brother fall And bow his head before the weather. If you ho not a dastard all, You'll help him up and stLek together. Value of Railroads to Farmers. We notice in some of the agricultural journals complaints of the farmers against railway companies'; that they take up the best :tnds 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 road find it difficult to meet the pressing demands for milk, butter, cheese, salves, lambs, pigs, and almost everything that the farm produces. Husbandry thrives under the stimulus of a hungry market. Almost everything brings cash in hand, instead of the old store pay with a settle iment once a year. Farm lands are in brisk demand, and go up in price forty, lifty and a huudred per cent. We believe that railroads have added enough to the vaite of the farms of this country to pay for one half the original expense of build. ing them, enormous as -it is. We were conversing with an intelligent farmer a few days since, who lives up'on 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 investments lie ever marde, for it had ldded Len thousand dollars to the value of his farm. Farmers, thlen, can aflbrd to put up with the trifling inconvenience of railroads. It is safe for theta to sub. scribe for a share of tile stock, according to their ine:uis, it' they can thereby secure the building )f a roaitd and open a ready market for their produce.-N. Y. Time-. AlfatllUt and Sheep Raising. California papers iave a good deal to say about the tainou Althfa, and there is a growing determination manifested to give it an extensive trial. A late iumber ot' the Son ..lres ivepeiniu/ says: "Some m1on1its since, we direted the attetntion of' our readers to the imuiportaice oL'cultivating the Althfit generally through Oult tile State, as the mmost reliable amnd available grass for autumn pasturage. In proof of its excellence, we mnentioned a gentleman livinigin San Joaqu in county who had, nta a fewv acres, cut four times the quantity of hay U.a.- m, h . em or. of' wild rasses usual ly produces5, besides ha ving excellent fall 4tnd winiter pastur'age for his milch cows. Since then, quite a Ilivorable impressin has ob~tained amocng valley farmers ini regard to the adaptabik tv of ~the Alfalth to their wants. Now, what we wish to say here is, that, as the attention of stock raisers is being tuned towerds the mountain lands as thle best ground for reaising sheep, would it not be au excellent experinment at least, fur some of our farmers to iltr'oduce it here ? It would doubtless succeed. Sheep do not require any other to~tod thant such as our hills supply, from the mfonlth of February to November'. But later thamn November. they begin to fall an ay' in flesh, and when great nu'.mbers ar'e grazed togethier', a large pe cenlt. is often lost by starvation. If the patrons of'agriculture, int the mountain counties, succeed at all in stock-breeding. sheep must be their staple. From the extreme drought amnd burning heat of our' atutmns, it wvill never he possible for the mountains to do much at raising hlornted cattle. They require too mutch food. Sheep are differenit; they are precisely adapted to ow' climate, and require hut little food. Uut that little they lumst have the year round, and we believe the sowing of the Alfalfa w old secure it. In a few years it would s'pr'ead over a larre scope of country, and thousands of acres of land, n1ow1 without any value whatever', would be muade to contribute largely to our wealth." lh.'ern TO Sow Tenmxme Sxt.o.-A c'.r rspsndent of' the Bostoni Cid/lietor0 say s: - "I woulJ say ti'om onme halt' to three fouths of an inich, I haive ftounid to be the deth best adapted to the turnip. My n-eihod of preventing the fly, which is all :hat troubles my plants, is to sow seed eough for the fly and myself at the same time, and hav'e always had a good stand left after the fly had taken his sharte, which is generally the lion's share.
