WE TWO. , , ri -i BY J H. ELLIOTT. What use is life? I ask-and yon? We who have known its joys and sor rows; Its sullen and its fair to-morrows; We who have thought it perfect day, And fallen fainting by the way ; What nae is life to ns-we two ? What use is love? I ask-and yon ? We who have revel led in its blisses, Drank ourselves drunken with, its kisses. And seen its dawn melt into night Leaving behind but baleful blight, What is love to us-we two? What use are friends ? I ask-and yon ? We who have tested them together In sunshine and in rainy weather, And find few left when storms por tend, And none to stand fast to. the end ; What use are friends to us-we two ? What use is hope? I ask-and you ? We who through mau y stern dentals, And sickening pain and piteous trials, Haye reached tho threshold of that word To find it still bnt long deferred ; What use is hope to us-we two ? What use is faith ? I ask-and you ? We who have toiled and wrought and striven, -And failed, and prayed to bo for-ri ven, And watched and waited everywhere, Bnt heard no answer to our prayer ;. What use is faith to ns-we two ? IL Shall we, then, give up life-we two ? If we fall fainting by the way, There cometh yet a perfect day, We need both sad and bright to mor rows; Joys wonld not be joys without sor rows; I will not give up life-will you ? Shall we, then, give up love-we two ? If it goes out in baleful blight. The morning followoth the night ; There yet are lett for us its kisses. If we but cherish well its blisses, I will not give up love-will you? Shall we, then, give up friends-we two? We have not waited to the end, For those who stand when storms por tend; Mayhap in fair and cloudy weather They'll rise and fall with us together ; I will not give np friends-will you ? . S jail we, then, give up hope-we two ? We may yet pass, though long de Caned, The threshold of that gracious word, Made glorious all our stern denials: I will not give op hope-will you ? . Shall we, then, give up faith-we two ? If we wait patiently, our prayer Will soon bo answered everywhere ; For failure we may be forgiven, If humby we have toiled .and striven, I will not give np faith-will you ? FARMING IX TUE SOUTH. The Practical Value of intensive Farnringt Some of the Results of Scientific Ag riculture in Georgia-Charleston Phosphates and How they Could be Utilized by the South. From Farisk Furmdn's Address at Montgomery, Ala. Under the intensive system, the rapidity of plant growth is almost in credible. Last year after raising a crop of oats, I planted the land on the 9th day of June in cotton. IQ August I pulled up a stalk of the cotton to exhibit in connection with my address before the Georgia State Agricultural Society. Just fifty-nine 4 days after the seed were deposited in the ground,. and it then measured five feet three inches in height, and had on it 126 bolls, blooms and squares. You eau readily under stand how a crop growing as rapidly aa this would soon cover the lanu and protect it in every way. Four years ago I took a piece of sandy rand, loose in texture and easily washed, lying upon a steep hillside, so steep in fact that it is r eccessary to have the cropB carried part of the way up the hill to the wagon at harvest. My object in selecting it was to see if by a continuous succession of crops it was not practicable to stop the washes, which were very numerous, and ia some places more than two feet in depth, and bring the land into good condition. I began by planting oats, followed at once by corn and peas ; first filling the gullies with pine tops and plough ing over them. I fertilized each crop with a manure suited to its require ments, and kept the land continuous, ly in cultivation, raising every year on it three crops, as above stated, and to day its productiveness is in creased four fold and the surface is smooth and unbroken, without any sign of a gully apparent. From these illustrations, drawn from my ' own experience, you can see that the intensive system is able to remove : the sources from which spring the j great evils that so sorely afflict our j agricultural interests. The only otb . , er questions left for consideration, J and one with which I am frequently j confronted, is: "Granted that it can ; do all this, does it pay ?" "Is it not too expensive for general adoption ?" ] "Is it within the means of the aver- j age Southern farmer ?" To answer ? these que/ies I will draw again upon i my own experience and give you the | figures covering my five years' ex- 3 p?riment on sixty acres of land. ? Five years ago I selected sixty I acres of the poorest land in middle 1 Georgia, five acres being red clay, i twenty five sandy surface with clay i subsoil near the surface, and about i one-half of thirty being sandy piney 1 woods land without any clay within several feet of the surface. I culli- i vated this carefully the first year without manure, and made on iteigbt ; biles of cotton. The second year I applied 500 pounds of compost r er '. acre, consisting of six bushels cotton i seed, six bushels stable and lot ma nure, and 140 pounds chemical, cost- i ing two dollars per acre, making the cosfof manure used on the sixty acres. $120. The crop was twelve bales of cotton, averaging 470 pounds 1 and bringing $47 per bale-giving four bales of cotton increase, or in money $188, and leaving a profit on i ita use, after paying for the manure, \ \ of $68,'or about 60 per cent. \ thir&^year i doubled the mani nsi^VT^X) poonda per acre, cost ?W?.^^^t ? t?e aggreg< ?iJi rim m ni orop nearly doubl rising to 23 bales and giving an crease of 15 bales, worth $675, w a profit from the nee of the manure $435, or nearly 200 per cent, on money invested in' manure. 1 fourth year I doubled the applicat again, with an aggregate cost of $4 and this time the crop was little ov doubled, being for this year 47 bal the increase over 'he first year bei 39 bales, worth $7,755, leaving profit of $1,275, or nearly 300 j cent, on the investment. The fi or last year I again doubled ihe n nure?, ubing 4,000 pounds to the ac costing altogether $960, and the ci harvested was 70 bales cotton ' a 500 bushels oats ; five acres of t land having been planted first in o? and afterwards in cottorj, with a yit of 500 bushels oats and 7-3 bales cotton. Putting the oats at 60 cei per buehel, the money value of tl crop was $3,450, leavirjg a profit investment in manure of $2,490, oi percentage of profit cf nearly 2 per cent. You v?ill observe that the perce tage of profit was not quite so gr? this year as last, but the return money was greater as there was twi as much invested, but the profit the use of the manure in increas production represents only one bran of the profit. W?ile I was incret ing my croj s and receiving hea' dividends, I was building up n land. When I began, two hundr dollars would have been a large pri for the sixty acres, tc day I cou sell it for fifty dollars an acre ; that twenty-eight hundred dolla has been made by the increase value of the land, but the manu used during the time only cost m tl aggregate $1,800, so the enhanct value in the land pays for the m nure and leaves a thousand dolla as profit. Again, to make 70 bal of cotton and 500 bushels of oa with the average production of Geo gia cr Alabama lands, will requii at least 250 acres of land, and it wi take at least eight mules and la\ in proportion to cultivate it. I cu tivated my crop with two mules, thu saving the in? stment of nine hui dred dollars in that most undesir .ib: of all property, a mule, when run B Cuffee as a freeman, saving the labe cf a Eix mule farm and the fee? j six mules ; rea!Iy, under the inter sive system, I cultivate my sixt acres of land with less labor than, crop of sixty acres require'd unde the old system. I plant late, and al good farmers know that means les work, and my crop grows so rapidl; that it, cs it were, works itself and soon have to lay it by, whereas unde, the bumble-bee cotton system it is J hard fight all the year between thi cotton and the grass, and the farmei is kept constantly digging to save hil crop. . Again, I am able to employ anc secure the best and most effective la bor. There are two ways of controll ing men, one by the hope of reward and the other by the fear of punish ment. I have found that by holding out inducement to my labor?is of ex tra wages in the event that a certain fixed product is obtained, that the quality and efficiency of their work is greatly improved. Again, they take a pride in the crop, and are as careful and constant in their efforts to secure a maximum result as my self. * * * * To us nature has proffered her choicest blessings io boundless pro fusion. Our neglect as a people in the past of the advantages that na ture has lavished upon us has been almost criminal-let us be careful to make for ourselves such a record in the future as shall serve as an expia tion for that past. With the . hole world paying tribute to South Caro lina as eager purchasers of her phos phate rock, we have sat quietly by and aile wed European manufacturers to come under our very noses, trans port the rock across the ocean, manu facture it and ship it back to us as their most available and profitable merket. Ah ! but you say we could noi help it ; we did not have the ma terial here from which to make the sulphuric acid necessary to render the rock soluble and available. My friends, nature never does i.uy thing by halves and never makes a mis take. The scientists will tell you that iron ore is never found in work, ing quantities without the presence if coal, laid away in the great store house of nature in close proximity, for without the coal the iron ore could never be reduced. So nature never manufactured in her wonderful laboratory the phos phate beds without a provision hear it hand of a material ready at the proper time to be utilized by man in : the preparation of that phosphate , rock for the salvation oLour worn md wasted lands. We nave that material. The mountains both of ( Georgia and Alabama abound in py rites ore of the finest quality, exactly . suited for the production of sulphutic j acid, that product of which Leibig, the great agricultural chemist, said : " Show me the amount of sulphuric ' acid that a nation produces and I will tell you what is its advancement r in the scale of civilization." The American manufacturers have j heretofore ignored pyrites iu the t manufacturing of acid phosphate, . using Sicily sulphur, a volcanic pro- j duct, brought at heavy expense across the ocean, as the base from which to procure their acid. The English manufacturers, how- ^ ever, the largest and most successful manufacturers in the world of acid phosphate, utilize pyrites, obtained b Crem Spain, in the manufacture of f< their sulphuric acid. They ship the -41 pyiitesf?om Spain to Enland-t the Carolina rock at Port Royal a Charleston, grind it See, acidnlatf with acid made frcm pyrites, a ship the same phosphate back acr the Atlantic to Charleston and otl ports, and undersell the Charles! manufacturers, who mine' the ph phate rock at the doors of their f tories. Indeed the manufactur who ose Sicily sulphur have confe ed their inability to cope with Er lish manufacturers, using pyrit by demanding recently in Congr that a tariff of $3 a ton be impos upon English acid phoephate for t protection of American industry. This being true, what can we do Georgia and Alabama, with the r. rites standing out in ledges from o mountains, the phosphate rock with easy reach, and the consumer waiti at the door of our factory to take t goods ae soon as made? And y Georgia and Alabama consumed h year 233,000 tons of chemical m nures, and manufactured lees th thirty thousand, sending witho their borders-the money whi should have been kept at home-1 two hundred thousand tons of fert izers. How can we ever expect the prc peiity and power, as a people, which our natural advantages entit u?, while we supinely pursue such policy as this ? As manufacturers standard chemicals, we not only shou supply all home demand, but contr the markets of the world, and as t! Greek in Sparta's palmiest days w wont in pride to say, "the mountai look upon Marathon and Marathi looks upon the'sea,1' so as man ufa turers our watchword should be bor: upon the winds to the four quarte of the globe, "the mountains loi upon Charleston and Charleston loo upon the sea." Flat Culture for Potatoes. A correspondent of the Conni Gentleman writes ae follows on tl question. It is a matter that v should like to have our readers di cuss: Several years ago I became convert to flat culture for potatoes, at every season convinces me that th method is preferable to forming hil around the plants. This season beit a very moist one in this section, ful -demonstrated to me that in moist i well as dry seasons flat culture is tl better of the two. . Just across the fence from my p i^^^ich.- was a field of my neigl bor^^pf about four acres, plante about ten days before mine. Tl ground is alike on both patches clayey loam. My neighbor manure more liberally than I did. He adopte the hilling method of culture, and the flat method. In the early part < the season his made more vigorot growth than mine, in fact the foliag in his field covered the ground befoi mine began to grow. As the seaso adyanced mine fined in growth upo his and mp!? .1 gieener foliag longer. Hi? ^ned about, a wee ahead of mipe, but while hia.averuge 180 bushels^:' the acre,~mine avei agid 250 bushels lo the acre. Ther were seventy bushels difference, upo soil eimilar, his having the advantag of more manure than mine. I confide that fiat culture requires less labo than hilling, produces- heavier cropt and the quality is just as good witl all other conditions the same. Dow " Means Grass" Came out o Egypt. Writing from Buckhead, S. C., ti the Soxdhern Cultivator, in regard ti the history of the "Means Grass,' Mr. T. D. Fenster Bays : " This gras is better known here as the Egyptiat ?rasp, as it was imported to this plac? "rom Egypt in hemp 6ent by Col Thomas Means, father of ex Gov John ll.
