DON'T PLANT ALL COTTON.
At this season of the year we
have the regular periodical discus
sions about planting too much cot
ton. At the close of each year
the p!anters see thcir error, but
accumulated debt and the hope of
high prices for the next crop in
.duces them to repeat the error
which experience has demonstrated
is ruinous. The agricultural press
throughout -the South are united
in implorig and beseeching plan
ters to abandon the fatal error- of
planting too much cotton. The
Jackson (Miss.) Agricultural Vindi
cator, one of the ablest agriculta
ral journals of the South, in
discussing this subject, says:
"The 'jack o' lantern' which has
led our planters on from one fail
ure to another for the last ten years
has been the hope of making a big
crop of cotton, get a big price for
it, and have a big surplus at the
end of the year. The farmers of
Mississippi are poorer this first day
of February, 1876, than they were
at the surrender, and the sole caruse
of this calamitous state of affairs
is the all-cotton system of plant
ing. If our lands would not pro
duce the various kinds of grains in
darge quantity and of fine -qualityi
if they could not grow grass, clo
ver, -root crops and vegetables in as
great abundance as any country
in the world; if they could not raise
cattee, hogs, dheep and mules as
easily and more profitably than
any other;- if, in fine, cotton was
the only thing they could produce,
there would be some .excuse for
this all-cotton system. It would
be the misfortune of the farmers,
and not their fault ; but as it is
their folly is criminal. This all
cotton doctrine is the most ruinous
that any people ever followed, to
their own destruction. In Califor-!
nia, for a number of years, the on
ly' crop was gold; and while she
adhered to her one crop system,
buying from abroad everything she
needed she was the poorest Sitate
of the Union. Now that she has
-diversified her industries, and made
- her gold her surplus crop, she is~
the richest and most prosperous. So
it will :be with Mississippi so soon
as her planters will make her cot
ton the surplus crop by raising their
supplies at home, and making their
farms self sustaining."
The error which the Vindicator
combats is fully illustrated in the
extract below from the Oxford
(Miss.) Falcon:*
"Mr. L. S. Dillard brought to this
place this week a car load of ba
con. He says he will sell three
or four loads. A car load weighs;
20,000 pounds, and the price is 124
Now figure a little. One load costs
$2,580, and if he sells two loads,
and the other ten houses in town
sells as much as h does, the bacon
sold in Oxford willcost the plan
ters of this County $55,000. This*
does not include what- is sold in
Abbeville, Taylor and Springdale;
but a safe calculation for the County
of LaFayette will be S80,000 and
this for bacon alone. Is not this
an eye-opener ? And with prudence
and care this amount could be.
saved every year by our farmers,
if they would only try as hard to
raise their meat as they do to raise
cotton. Why continue this wild
and ruinous policy when it could be~
so easily avoided ? Let the people1
look to their hog pens, and corn
cribs hereafter f->r their profits, and!
they will not meet with disappoint
ment."
Sweet apples may be used with
quince in.making preserves, wvith
ctrp~it ~ti~f'~r~tion. In fact many
PRoFIT IN LITTLE THNGs.- i
Southern farmers thought that no
>ther crop but cotton could be
:urned into money. They have,
;herefore, paid little or no atten
ion to the minor products of a
Farm; such as apples, peaches and
,)ther products, eggs, butter, honey,
hickens, hides, tallow, etc., and
even wheat, barley, oats, and other
crops of similar importance have
been neglected. The last season
has somewhat changed. the opinion
in a majority of the farmers. In
Arkansas county the Patrons made
an arrangement last Spring with
a certain merchant, to take in pay
ment for merchandise anything
marketable that the farmers might
bring. Money was scarce and ano
ther crop was unoertai;. while many
little articles, of the nature above
stated were either wasted or unne
cessarily consumed, that in large
cities, to which there was ready ac
cess would find an eager sale. The
sult of this arrangement was in the
first six or sevep months of the year
1875 there had been shipped and
sold from the county above $20,000
worth of products not before deemed
worthy of sale. But for this happy
forethought of the patrons, many
farmers. could not have sustained
themselves thruogh the spring; they
would have had nothing to live on
while they made a crop, the mer
chants being unable to credit them,
and they having no money to pay
for what they needed. This should
teach a lesson to all who neglect
the seeming trifles of a farm. Ev
erything should be utilized.
Mlerchants should buy every pro
duct of the farm whether there is
money in it or not; the goods they
generally give in exchange wili pay
Drofit enough. Thus will his- sales
be increased and the country be
come more prosperous.

THE PRODUCTIVE POWER OF THE
SOIL 1NcEEASEER BY CULTIVATION.
-It is difficult to ascertain .the
amount of crops, pr the average
yield, of very distant times past,
but the average yield per acre of
wheat in the eleventh century
was estimated by the highest au
thority of that day, the author of
"Fleta," at only six busbels. So 300
years later, in 1390, 57 acres on a
farm at Hawste.d yielded only 366
bushels, and on an average of
three years, little more than that.
The actuali productive power of
Great Britain in the article of wheat
alone increased during the half'
century fromn 1861 to-1851 to the
extent of sqpporting an additional
pcplation of 7,O0O0,A00, an inecreiaae
which can be ascribed with con
fidefice mainly to improved culti
vation.. So in every country where
agriItufeecies t$bia,tenition it
deserves the productive power of
the soil has largely -increased.
Even the''Atlantic *States of the
Union, where the system of cnlti
vating the soil without maintain
ing its fertility by~a proper treat
ment prevailed for many years,
are not an exception, since the
condition~ of agriculture is rapidly
improving in the oldest of them,
where this system was earliest
begun, and the general average of
crops, with the~ exception of the
potato, is increasing from year to
year, as a more proper culture is
introduced and persevered in, the
farmer being led to improve his
practice by the pressure of an in
creasing p)opulation and constantly
rising prices. In New England,
for instance, the general average
yield of' Indian corn per acre has
risen to about 35 bushels, while
crops of 50 and 60 bushels per
acre arc not uncommon, and 80
and 100 are sometimes obtained
by careful tillage.
BELVIDERE CAKES.--Take a quart
of flounr, four eggs, a piece of but
ter the size of' an egg, a piece of~
lard the same size ; mix the but
ter and lard well in the flour ; beat
the egg light in pint bowl, an2d fill
it up with cold milk ; then pour it
gradually into the flour, add a tea
spoonful of salt, work it for eight
or ten m.inutes only, cut the dough
with a knife the size you wish it;
roll, them into cakes about tL e size
of a breakfast plate and bake in a
quick oven.
To CURE HloARsENEsS.-When
the voice is lost, as is sometimes
the case, from the effects of a cold,
a simple, pleasant remedy is fur
nished by beating up the white of
one egg, adding to it the juice of
one lemon, and sweetening with
..iscellaneous.
