GUY, CHESTERFIELD. Southern Planter ane Farmer. These questions have troubled me for a long time, and I would like to have them discussed in the columna of the Planter by others mor competent than myself. W er the cry-an over the land, "that farming does not pay." Can it be so? Are we to believe that this great- foundation of all other business does not pay those en. gaged in it? When, even now that a large portion of the world are fed by America, and the great balance of trade is so much in our favor, and then say farming does not pay? It can't be so. I, for one, don't and can't believe it. There are vast numbers engaged in it and de pendent upon it, and can it be pos sible that, as a class, they are get ting poorer every day? If so, how are we to continue to live, and who is to buy us out, and how can the merchant and mechanic and others live if we stop? Where will the manufacturer get his raw material, and how will the merchant live and prosper ifwe all go uinder? Does all else pay except farming?i Sup pose men allowShis doectrine to be taught and believed, what will be come of our lands ? Bat.again, what is to pay ? What is meant by the phrase does pay ? That every one who follows it, as a business, must necessarily make a fortune to prove that it does pay. Are there no cases in which men have accumulated fortimes by farm ing?i And are there not a plenty of men whro are miaking good liv - ings out of farming? Please tell me -of any business that is conduct ed so carelessly. Suppose the mer chant, or any other class, were to neglect their business as much as the average farmer does, where would they be in twelve months ? Could they live at all? And yet the farmer lives. And I fear there are too many that don't make any calculations to see whether it does pay or not. The merchant or mechanic has his house to rent, wood and coal to buy, every egg, chicken, turkey, duck and every thing else he eats -or drinks, ever the water. Now, let the farmer credit himself with all of these, and see how the matter stands. How many merchants or mechanics have tihree or six months provisions by them, and how many fartners have from six to twelve nmnths rations on hand?i Many ~. kamers have a capital stock not exceeding $2,500, and yet they raise families, feed and clothe them, and, if an accurate calculation was made, many of them could show fifty or more per cent. per year in gross receipts. Can any other class do better ? I am sorry to say it, but it is even so, that very many so-called farmers do not have the care and industry to have half a garden, no milk or batter for even one third of the year, and there are no small num ber in this class, and it is in the power of most any man, not a cripple, to have these things in abundanice. We have ten whites in our family, and keep only three cows, and have a great abundance of. milk and butter ,to eat three times a day, and are never without vegetables, fowls and eggs, and I believe it is in the power of most every farmer to do likewise if he would. If there is no clear money in farming, there is certainly a good living for every one that will try to get it, and that is all we get in this world after all yofi can say. It is \useless to hold our hands, go to the cross-road stores to drink mean whiskey, curse the negroes and Yankees, and let the houses and fences go down, the lands go to novertv and broom-sedge, leave but don't give them this cry ; do your best ; take the Scripture for your guide, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." Let this be your motto and you will never want for any thing you deserve. If you don't believe it, try it. Learn to im prove your lands and stock, and attend well to your own business ; do not hire negroes and leave them to idle their time away while you ride about. Such farming don't pay;it can't. To show you what can be done, I will give you an instance of a young man in the county of Isle of Wight, by telling you what he did last year, in his own words: "Having been solicited by you to give my first year's experience in farming, I hereby endeavor to do so. I had no capital to begin with ; no land of my own to cultivate, nor any farming implements, at all, and only owned one horse. I rented of a friend about nineteen acres of land, for which I paid $225 ; five acres of which I planted in corn, and made twenty barrels and 1,000 pounds- of fodder; the remaining fourteen acres I planted in pea nuts, and made 1,300 bushels. I borrowed money to procure labor and implements with which to cul tivate and harvest the crops, which amounted to $300. I realized from sale of peanuts $1.000; from corn and fodder, $70. After paying all expenses, I have $545 left as clear profit. Hoping the above lines may be of some encouragement to the young farmers. I remain your friend, GEo. R. NEMs." Now, friends, who can beat that -old or young? and he paid what every one would call a heav3 rent -nearly $12 per acre rent. How is this for pay? But this man I works when he goes at it, and he sees that those he hires work too. This is the kind of farmers I want to see Old Virginia re-stocked with, and you will hear no more of "far ming don't pay," when they get to work. Pardon me, Mr. Editor, for tak ing up so much of your valuable space. I am in earnest, and could not stop sooner, and may not tron ble you again soori. I hope others may speak plainer words of cheer, that the young farmers may know that their works are not in vain, but the future is more hopeful than the past. Fsinx. Accourrs.-Perhaps far ming doesn't pay. If so, let us see just how much it lacks. There is no better time than the first of January to begin keeping a diary or farm journal. It takes but a few minutes time each day to write down the more important events as they transpire. It will keep the fingers limber so that it wiil not seem so difficult a m'atter to write an occasional letter to a friend, or to pen a few thoughts upon the topics to be discussed at the next meeting of the farmer's club. A journal is like good wine ; it im proves by age, and the longer it is kept the better it becomes. How many disputes have been settled beyond question by reference to an accurately kept daily record. And while you are about it, get a book for each of your children and teach them the habit of keeping a jour nal, and especially an account of their personal expenses. We have said that we should not fear to trust any young man who had ac quired the habit of keeping an ac count of his personal expenses, and we believe it a safe rule, with very few exceptions. Well fed and well housed calves will go through the winter in good condition, and pay for their keep ing and care, while those forced to seek shelter in the lee of the straw stack, and to forage for rations, will be worth less than good veals at two months' old. To BRoin, A Sm.-Always but ter your gridiron, cook the steak quickly over a bright fire, turning as often as they drip ; lay upon a hot dish, season with butter an: salt, cover with heated platter. A common sized tumbler holds half a pint. A tablespoonful is equal to sixty drops, or half an ounce of liquids. Four teaspocn fuls are equal to one tablespoon Onions and potatoes that have a green tinge should be immersed in warm water one hour before cook ing, that they may be easily di nested.
