This is an improvement on the rates announce' by the South Carolina ll.iilroad, as far as tlu-y relate to the steamers. 'I lie immigrants will In sent direct to the steamers from t'astle Harden without detention at New York, and upon then arrival i:i Charleston will remain an board oI th< steamer until (lie departure of the lirst train tor Columbia. From this date immigrants will be ordered front New Nurk us they are rcpiired by out farmers, and upon tlicit* nrri.al in Charleston go direct to their destination, thus doing away with tlieir accumulation in that city or in 'olum bia. This method will be pursued during the rummer, as this season s demand can tints In easily supplied. In the fall Col.

Notes from Star Farm* As you have had no report from these parts lately I will scrape up tviiat tu ly he circulating of interest. It is hard to see any one these days oil of the liehl. Fanners are all hu->y putting in guano ami planting cotton. The area in cotton this year is considerably in excess of what it was last year, and in all probability the price will be considerably less. I think peaches will be only a thing of remembrance tins year, in there are so near none in the orchards that one t.ee 1 not lis his mouth foi them. ' Apples arid cherries may conic in if the predic! ted frost fails to oolite to time. At any rate we I hope by the help of the United States .Senate 1 and a good blackberry crop to get through the ! summer, if it is not too hot. Mr. Jno. Spencer was stricken with paralysis i in his left side on .Monday and has not been able | to move since. It is hoped that lie will recover 'soon. The cause is supposed to be overwork, as we never saw a harder working man. l?o not let some of our young frieu Is say they will not work at all hereafter for fear of the same fate, for such cases arc rare. Two negro boys got into u difficulty Sunday? knife drawn, one boy stabbed, other gone. Two unfortunate results from the above, the stabbed negro will not die, the slabbing negro will not j be bung. I There are petitions to the Legislature on foot tasking that body to pa?s the Prohibition Law. I We hope it may be so. We extend our congrat| illations to the good people of .lonesvillc for the | stand they have taken, and have no doubt the business of the place will be increased, as the amount of whiskey consumed there bad the tendency to drive away much of its legitimate trade. This section will bo overjoyed when there is tio whiskey sold near here. Can't I'liion get up a cotton factory '.' If she does not move pretty soon she will be left behind. There is certainly plenty of water-power if the J capital could tie raised. I would like to get otic of those lizards that came nut of the trees near Urown's Store.? They must be rare curiosities. I have been looking in every stick of wood I cut since I read the last account to see if 1 eoul I not find one, but I believe n me ever crossed Thickettt . There is almost a stan 1 ol cotton up in many places. If the wcath<r continues warm, farm work wi ! progress rtpi lly ami our farmers will be ready to meet (It" grass, Sik"'.?s to tlio Toms. X- V. '/.. ? I*?#r iltf Timo?. Practical Suggestions far Farmers. M It. Iliu to it : - I 'out inning my line of thought, I still insist that we are raising more cotton by one-third than it is to the interest of the cotton Slates to produce. The low price of the staple at present would seem to be conclusive evidence of this theory, but lake into the eotttii, the wear and tear of all cotton sections, as compared r it It corn, grain and grass growing sections, and the argument is surely in favor of a limited supply of cotton. The readers of the Tints will remember numbers of planters in the best cutt m bells of tlit* West plowing up their corn w hen it was ...vly for the first working and cit ing ing it lot cotton. This occurre-l tti the spring nl' 1 siis, ami was brought about by the great rise in I!ic price i?f cotton which took | lace at that time. An I yet, as iet1. nure j men t iile I Iiv coiti-ling in the all e >ttuti system than uia-io money. Of.all classes of men. farm cvs are the least able to enter into speculation, ami yet lite history of the past is an cvi Irucj i of the reckless manner in which farmers h-tvi | iilloweil tliemsolves to operate. Take for in stance the ilate I have given, from l-o^to l'*7?J . I i cotton selling at gumi juices, ail the while, an I wlto grew rich in its |>ro-1ttctii>nlint all of in i will long remember the tinaneial panic follow - ing this high pi ice for colt hi, ami which camej ventures that tcrminatc<l in the ruin of many ti | the hest invit of (lie country. 1 repeat, that | country to he ; rosper >us must ever be self mis laining. loit while it is, perhaps, too late to change th purposes of any planter tor the present er.-p yet i: may n it lie t >o early to hive a little tall j in reference to practical changes for the future . ami as the u-orhl is m i-le up of its many imlus I tries, s-? shoiil l the smallest farms have thei -liversilie I imlu-tries. all in true keeping wit! ! the interest of thw farm.

There is a great deal of "iir ici Agricultural progress done in a circle. i A few days ago I picked up one of the best f ^ 1 Agricultural Magazines published in llie t'uiin- i try, and was atnu-ed to sec bow many uar i lens kit were being advanced I lull 1 bad seen ventilate 1 ( and abandoned years ago.

' The greatest defect in the main in out farming operations is the want of reliable statistics. A man tells you th it he makes 1"? or ?0 bales of 1 cotton to a mule: hut he does nut '.ell you whether he makes anv thing else ? what his la "... 1,1 . bor costs him, his supplies, his rent, taxes, in? js Itre.st and the numher of laborers. Tl The profits of farming do not depend upon ^ what a man iii ikes, hut what his balance sheet c,j shows. There are millions of bushels of corn j0 [ coining daily from Cbicago for the use of the I ] cotton phiulcrs of South t'aroliua They will be " ! apt to pay one dollar a bushel for it and haul / i it from tlie depot with a poor mule when lie | i ought i?) be plowing <>r resting. The Cotton in ! crop of last year will foot up at least six ami a hall" million hales. The next crop has been all '' | . r< soi l in futures two or three times over already, u yet every bo?ly is planting just as much cot- ri ton as lie can cultivate, never thinking for a mo- ' i incut that limes may grow worse. .As long as ^ l liens can be obtained ami fertilizers bought oil a t.| ere lit there is very little hope of a better state li i 1 . : of things.
