Jamar/ ?epr?intni From tba Colnmbus Enquirer. What we Need? Economy-Live at Home-Increase t Productions of our Lands. These we conceive to be the great ? sent?ais necessary Lo successful plantii \a the South under the free labor syster However we may have lived and plante under the slave labor system, we of tl South will have to act, in regard to the things, as the whole free labor world h and does still act,?to succeed in makii libbey by farming. First, then, economy is essential. V uiu*t no longer expect to have our tho sands as the proceeds of our lands spend extravagantly in dress, fine equi ages, traveling at the North and in E rope, visiting watering places, &o. ; raise our children luxuriously, in idlena md teach them, in too many instance practices and habits that will unfit the for usefulness in society, in after Iii but for years to come, we must expe to husband our resources, buy but litt and only what we are compelled to ha\ and cannot raise or make. If we ha no money to buy fine clothes, and car ages, and other like things, and nothii to barter for them, that is our own, ai can be spared, go without, until we ha means to spare ; do not go iu debt, uni? it is to keep from actual suffering. Lea economy in all things; it may bc a ha lesson for many of us to learn, but oi we must learn, and that in its stride sense, if we ever rise from the low sta of prosperity in which .the war has lc us. Humility is the royal road to ext tation-so surely is economy the fir certain step to plenty and independent Second, live at home on your plant tion. This every planter must do to su ceed well in planting. How Jive at home ? How is it posi ble to live at home, and pay my debt unless I plant large crops of cotton I pay with, to the neglect of the necess rios of life? 1 answer, you will not mal money, nor pay your debts, if you d Thc day is past and gone, for years I come at least, for any planter to mafc large sums of money by planting lar? crops of cotton, as the experience i planters in 1866 and 1867 fully demo strates. Wha,t then will we do-ho pay our debts? asks every one. 1 ai ?wer, in the first place, by saving all yo make, over the real cost of living in plain manner. Secondly, by living i home, instead of in towns and cities, an spending .part of each year in travel, & Save all these sums, and they will go great way toward paying your hone: debts. Live at home, by raiding every thin that your family and stock need to sui sist upon ; raise full crops of coru, fodde peas, oats, potatoes, turnips, vegetable ?sc. ; and be sure to save all the gra: you can on your plantation, at the prope time-to sell it for hay, or feed you stock upon, as you may need. I know planter near Columbus, who now hs baled and under shelter in good conditio! gathered on his farm, 70,000 pounds o 35 tons of good hay. Raise and sav these things, aud then you can raise we! your stock of all descriptions-cows t give you plenty of milk and butter, an they will do it if fed plentifully on pea; turnips, (kc. Raise your own meat, aud some t sell. Your peas and turnips, with som little corn, will fatten your hogs well, know a farmer in Russell county, whi fattened 103 head of hogs almost entirel; on turnips, in 1806. t?ave poultry, tha' you may have plenty of eggs, ?cc., to ea and sell. Get into thc old-fashioned waj of raising your own horses, mules, &c. and then when sure that you are raisin; everything you will need, and plenty c it to support on, raise what cotton yoi may be able, over and above a living, tc pay debts with. In this way you will b< able to gradually and certainly reduc< your indebtedness yearly, and soon wi! become a free man again, owing no mar anything, and having an abundance of al needed things at home. Live at home, then, by raising all thc supplies you need. Live at home b> staying home, and attending with dilli gence your farm ; just as the merchant the mechanic, the manufacturer does from Monday morning to Saturday nighi -gives his earnest and undivided atten tion to his business. This the farmer must also do, if he succeeds and lives well under the free labor system. Third, increase thc productions of your lands. This you rou3t do-but how can this be done ? First, by planting a smaller number ol acres. As long aa we follow thc old sys tem of cultivation, laboring with all our might and main to see how many acres we can cultivate, we shall fail of success. Plant few - acres, select your best land, and apply all your manure to these few acres; and, if necessary, purchase some other fertilizers, guano, bone dust, &c. to enrich still more these few acres, com paratively ; cultivate them well, plough deep, thoroughly prepare your ground, put in your seed properly and at the right time, and your labor and expense will be well remunerated. By this sys tem you will improve your lands by en riching those you cultivate, and those you do not by resting them. You will by this system produce more with five hands than with fifteen under the old system. A penny saved is a penny earned, is an old and true maxim. There can be no doubt whatever that with proper cultivation and manuring well, that the lands generally of this sec tion will produce three times more than under the old system. Hence, to pro duce as much, it will only require one th: ^ of the labor. You can calculate for yourself what you will sare by this system of planting, in labor and plough stock alone-saying nothing of the re sponsibility, care, and vexation attendant on planting with a larra number of labo rers, you will be relived from. Then improve your lands, enr ich them, cultivate well, live at home, economize your means, and you will find that you will soon be free of debt and increasing in goods, having full barns and cribs, fat horses and hogs, and plenty of all things to make glad the hearts of all at home, and will aid materially in enriching the country as of old, and even more abun dantly.

CURE TOR BALKY HORSES.-We see it "tated in some of our exchanges, that if a horse balks, and a handful of dirt is thrust into hi? mouth, be will immediate* ly press into the collar, go on, and attend to his business, lt costs nothing; to try the remedy. Some might bc put to pull Inff this way, and others might not be. The attention of the horse would be di verted by the dirt-which in some oases might set him to work again,-Colman's Kural World. i From the Farm and Garden. How to Cultivate Clover. < MARTIN'S DEPOT, S. G., July 5, '67. 1 In accordance with your request, I give : my experience in raising clover, which I do more cheerfully, as 1 believe I have the secret of success, though I make no claim to its di.-covery, for 1 owe the sug gestion to a friend who lost his life in Tennessee, nobly battling for Southern r" hts. I have wasted much labor and seed in trying the No.them and Western system of sowing clover with some other crop, and only succeeded, in one instance, in getting a stand in that way, and that was on a rich lot with a thin stand of barley, which I killed out the next Spring by pasturing too early, and too closely. The secret is to cultivate the land well the preceding year, say in cotton,, corn or potatoes, so as to leave no seed of crab grass : (weeds do not hurt so much.) Prepare the ground well, by ploughing and harrowing smoothly, a.id if not rich, by manuring. This should be done about the middle of March, and immediately sow eight or nine pounds of seed to the acre. 1 usually sow by stakes, thus sav ing the trouble of laying off-sowing a land of nine feet. A new beginner had. better always try a small piece of land, measuring both land and seed, as he may waste a great deal of seed if he goes to guessing. 1 sow very regularly, by keep ing the two last fingers clenched, allow ing the thumb and two fingers to do the work. I first throw out with the first finger, and then with the other, making two licks for each handful'. By taking the ordinary wheat sowing gait, this plan will sow about the right quantity of seed. After sowing, I would somewhat prefer to run a good - iron-toothed harrow over it, but if not convenient, it will do well without covering, as the first shower will cover it sufficiently. The only advantage that I have ever seen in covering was in getting an early stand, but if a good show er falls soon after planting you will not discover the difference, though it will bhow if it is dry. Now close up your clover field, and let nothing into it until the clover is a year old. About the middle of May, when the first blossoms begin to turn brown, thc clover is ready io cut. If you want to graze it, let it get in bloom first, then you can't well kill it, but if ' you attack it too early, and graze too closely, you are liable to lose your stand. If the summer should be very hot and dry, you may fear that your clover is gone, but if you have half a stand in the fall, there is no cause of fear, and do not be discouraged, for iu thc spring you will be rewarded for ull your trouble. We used our first crop this year, in feed ing in the green state to mules and cows -cutting it with a mowing blade. We are now cutting the second crop for hay, but this crop will not do lor horses, though good foi cows and sheep. If this plan is pursued, 1 feel confident that clover may be made to grow on any land that has fertility enough to produce a good crop of cotton, though the richer thc better. In some seasons it will do well if sown in the fal!, but the winter must bo very favorable, though it is about as easily killed out as oats. In a very favorable season, and on very rich, moist, land, an indifferent stand may be had by sowing with some one of thc different grain crops, but nine times out of ten such an experiment in our climate and soil, will result in disappointment and discouragement. I regard a half stand of clover as worth more than any other crop, and nothing in the way of a crop can be raised with nearly, if not quite as much certainty as oats can be. When a staud is once secured, it will last if properly managed, some four years, and then by turning in the fall and culti vating in corn or cotton, followed by wheat, a good stand will again come. A little plaster or stable manure, or both, will always add to the crop. I prefer mowing to pasturing, as thus you cut away all weeds that stock usually leave, thereby helping the clover to take entire possession of the land. I do hope that every mau in the State will try at least a small patch, when he can see for himself its value, and he may add to his crop to his liking. The seed is worth from eight to twelve dollars per bushel, weighing sixty pounds, and a bushel will sow well eight acres. All animals, including hogs, do well on the first crop, but the second crop should not be given to horses, either dry or green. This has been a very fa vorable } ear for clover thus far, and we have had two cuttings, from two to three feet each crop I have tried clover in land that had never been cultivated, but never very successfully. Ked, stiff land, is most favorable to its growth, but it will do well on any of our land that is rich enough, unless very sandy. I think J have covered thc whole ground, and I have tried to be plain. If anything has been overlooked, I will fill up the omission when my attention is called to it. With my best wishes for the success of your paper, I am Your obedient servant, JAMES Ws WATTS. SHOEING HOIISES THAT OVER-REACH.- , In the Mark Lane Express, a blacksmith , who has had much experience in the art of shoeing, contends that in order to pre vent horses from over-reaching, they should be shod as follows : Make the toe caulks very low, forward, standing a little under, and the shoe set as far back as convenient, with heel-caulks, so as to let < the foot roll over as quick as possible. On the hind foot I have the hecl-caulk low and the toe-caulk high and projecting for- ' ward, thus giving time for the forward foot to get out of way. If thus shod, the 1 horse will travel clean, without a click, 1 and his speed will be increased on a trot 1 fifteen or twenty seconds in a mile. The ' reverse of this rule is practised by black- ' smiths, generally, to overcome this diffi- ! cul ty. Which is thc best method remains 1 to be decided. ' ? o ? Evergreens Among* Orchard Trees. ] Heretofore, planting evergreens among ! orchards of fruit has been deemed ?neon- ! gruous, and undeserving the attention of planters, or as presenting a careless waste ? of land without system or order in ar- s rangement. From some observations we ' have made this season, however, and from records of several of our correspondents, we predict that but a few years will find 1 many orchards interspersed irregularly J with evergreen trees. Closer planting 1 than heretofore recommended, we have 1 no doubt will prevail, as our fruit-grow- } ers study the devastating effects of too ? great exposure of the young trees to I wind and sun. In most sections this ( year, while fruit bloomed and set abun- f dantly, gradually, little by little, it has dropped, until many a grower who in early Summer counted on bushels can f now count fruit only by the dozens. We * have watched this* falling of the fruit pr?t- c ty carefully, and while we have no doubt ? c that too great an amount of bloom im-1 v paired the vitality and was the first cause a of failure, yet observation has taught us . c that trees ?artiailj tfcatfe?afid screened' g by evergreens, or by close planting with Dther trees, have retained their fruit, as a rule, better than those exposed to the full rays of the sun at all points, and the withering blasts of wind, no matter from what quarter. Horticulturists nt the West have for sometime advocated hedge screens as a protection to their orchards, aud we have no desirelo undervalue them, but would increase and extend them, while at the same time we would in planting an orchard of five hundred trees, malee one fifth the number ever greens. Again : believing in closer plant ing, we, a few years since, set one dwarf pear orchard, four by eight feet, and an apple orchard of standards, twelve feet upart. The pears are, it is true, growing one way pretty closely together, yet they are all healthy,:aud this season have re tained their fruit better than others which were more widely separated.-Western Rural.

Nerve, then, every manly feeling, And with courage moot tho storm, Let us wounded hearts he healing, And our duty still perform.

RABBITS GIUDLINQ TREES-SURE CURE. -These animals are great pests of nur serymen, particularly in the West, where they seem to abound, and a great many persons have given remedies against their depredations. The correspondent of The Prairie Farmer says that he saved 1,500 apple trees scatheless at a cost of less than one dollar. Ile procured four ounces of asafectida, which he put into a quart of warm water, keeping the bottle warm and shaking it frequently fur a week. Then he mixed the contents with a gallon of fresh blood, and with that painted the boles of the trees as high as he could reach. The result was, not a tree was touched by a rabbit during the W inter. In the Spring thc trees were all painted again, this time with soft soap, which gives the trees a clean, healthy appearance. DEEP PLOUGHING.-We have ourself experience a little in deep ploughing. Our experience is that one good mule can turn over the best of our land quite as deep us it is judicious to turn i;; but let a subsoil plough follow in the same fur row without turning up the earth. The best crops we have ever made were by this method, and we think we will be backed by farmers generally that we are correct in our experience and judgment. A few Northern planters the past year came South to teach the people how to farm, but in the sequel they have found out to their cost that what can be done North, is not practicable South. They have failed in their anticipations, notwith standing occasional boasts befure they had seen the result.-Milledgeville Recorder. WEEVILS IN GRANARIES.-Some years since, acciclt ( discovered to a French farmer a very simple and cflicient method of preventing, or rather destroying, this insidou3 pest in corn and grain houses. Happening to deposit, in one corner of a building in which there was stored a quantity of grain, a few sheep skins from which the wool had not been pulled, he found, upon examining them a few days after, that they were literally covered with dead weevils. Thc experiment was repeated, and always with the same re sult. On stirring the corn, (wheat, probably,) he was surprised to find, that although previously infested to a degree that for bade ail hope of saving it from immedi ate destruction by this pertinacious foe, not a single insect was to be found among it. The experiment is certainly worth trying. Instead of the sheep skins, whir-*1 are quit?! valuable, we might substitute those of the woodchuck, who is increas ing to ar. inconvenient and expensive ex tent. What killed the weevils, whether the fatty matter on the skin, or something ?lse, we have not been able to learn. At my rate, let us try tho woodchuck skins. -N. E. Farmer. " AK INDEPENDENT FAMILY.-The Cam Jen Journal narrates the following facts, ind pertinently asks : Is such a family lependent . upon Cu flee1? A friend of ours, with whom we spent \ couple cf nights a few weeks ago, with ihe aid of his two sons, one scarcely large ?nough to plough, made this year, three oales of cotton, upwards of four hundred bushels of corn, one hundid bushels of peas, two hundred bushels of sweet pota ;oes, besides Irish potatoes, pind?rs &c., ind had thirteen hogs ready for thc knife, 7hich would nett him 2000 to 2300 pounds of pork, with flour enough to serve him until harvesting his next crop )f wheat, of which he has planted largely. Elis crop was all harvested and housed, lis lots ancl'stables well filled with litter, ind the boys were taking holiday after iheir year's work. ? -?-? His wife and one daughter, attend to ill the household and domestic affairs, and jlothe (handsomely) the family, consist ng of eight, from wool raised on the >lantation.
