From The Southern Cultivator. While it is true that only one month has come and gone, yet the time for planning the operations of the new year is rapidly passing away, and the farmer is now to put into execution the first steps in the programme he has mapped out for his guidance. 8oon it will be too late to correct er rors. A year’s work on the farm is similar in many respects to a military campaign. As a skillful and experi enced commander conceives before hand the general plan of his pro posed military movements, wisely calculating all the probable and pos sible counter-movements of his an tagonist and providing accordingly, so a wise farmer will look ahead and make his dispositious so as to meet the exigencies that may arise. Nei ther can well afford to "change front” In the presence of an enemy, or mate rially alter his plans when the cam paign is half over. Tn last months “Thoughts” we en deavored to imptess the wisdom of producing at home an abundance of everything needful for man and beast, that the soil and climate will enable him to produce with reasonable cer tainty and profitableness. The argu ment in favor of home production of supplies was presented in a some what different liuiit. We would have the Southern farmer to seek first to produce, in abundance, the food nec essary for man and beast; to go about his purposes as if it were, as it really is, the main business of fanning As well might a lawyer hire some one to prepare and study and manage his law business; or a preacher employ another to fill his pulpit; a sheep- breeder buy all his sheep and wool; a fruit-grower to buy fruit instead of growing it, as for a farmer to habit ually buy such articles as corn, oats, bacon, lard, butter, beef, mules and horses, etc.—the very tilings it is the peculiar business of a farmer to grow from his soil. I'l-OWINCI t'OKX I.AXI). The plow must be started at once, if not already in action; not that we favor breaking land long in advance of the time for planting, but that the work of preparation of th9 soil may not be crowded into too short a period just before that time. The weather duriug the latter part of the month amKjarly in March may not be suita- ttriok pf on fng.—Otr on close, uudraiued soils, we are -tleeidedly in favor of throwing the land into beds as a final prepara tion for planting in corn or cotton. Our best results in corn culture have almost invariably been obtained when planted on broad beds, with well opened water furrow's between the row’s, these furrows serving tempo rarily as drains in the absence of a more permanent system. This leads to the suggestion that the low-lying, moist lands of the country should be generally appropriated to the corn crop. Corn is much more liable to injury from droutb than cotton, and is less affected by wet. Moreover, corn seems to respond less gratefully to manure than cotton, and to prefer the naturally rich and moist soil. Do not be in too big a hurry to com mence planting. Too early planting i.- a much more frequent mistake than (••o lata planting. A oairow strip of u hundred miles along the Gulf Coast ] wife and children; and ahip them by the train load to the Southern cities. The number of bushels "saved for seed” and bedded for slips in Febru ary or march, usually controls the area planted, with a greater or less supplemental planting with vines. The man who will discover a cheap and effective, and always reliable, method of preserving sweet potatoes during the winter and spring, will deserve an enduring monument to his memory, and the everlasting grati tude of the fam er. But even If re stricted to the use of the potato in its fresh state, it will repay four-fold more attention than it ever has re ceived. Farming Pays Somebody. News and Courier. The report of the commissioner of agriculture for the State of Georgia shows that the farmers in that Btate, when they buy on credit, pay interest at the rate of 78 per cent per annum on the cash price of the supplies of corn and bacon which they use in the cultivation of cotton. At the same time they are required to pay a tax which averages more than 40 per cent on nearly every article that they have to buv for the support and com fort of their families. The Georgia farmers, it need not be said, are in scarcely worse plight In these respects than their fallow agri culturists in other Sonthern States. Who shall aay then that farming In in the South "does not pay?” even If it does not pay the farmer himself. The fact is made plainer every day that If the Southern farmers raised theiJ supplies of food at home, and did not have to contribute so liberally to the support of manufacturers whom they have never seen, ami to whom they owe nothing, they would be the richest and happiest class of people on the face of this green oblate sphe roid. Feed Cotton Seed. It appears, as the result of carefully conducted experiments at the Penn sylvania Agricultural Colioge that at present prices cotton seed meal is one of the cheapest articles of food for fattening animals. After tiiree win ters of feeding experiments it was found that if cotton seed meal is ju diciously combined with corn meal it can take the place of more than its own weight of corn meal. It was also evident that when the price of cotton seed meal is not much greater than that of corn meal the former can be fed profitably to beef cattle. When we consider that a ton of cotton seed meal is estimated by chemists to con tain substances worth #28 for manure, while a ton of corn meal contains of these substances only #15 worth, it is evident that the thrifty feeder for beef will find it profitable to use as much cottou seed meal as the cattle will relish, without injury to their health. There is dan ger, however, in feeding too much of it, and especially in changing the ration suddenly from other fodder, all changes in feeding should be gradual. A Green Outlook. The outlook for good crops this sea son is fine. The mild winter has giv en a good stand of grain, and bloom ing fields about us give evidence of this fact. Farmers are planting more oats and grass crops than ever before, and these sure growing, green-leafed products will bring their reward to wise and calculating planters. The South is learning to depend on itself for hay, grain and grass, and from all sides comes cheering news of bright prospects and green fields. The sea son has been propitious so far, and if the weather continues to favor us tills section will make the greatest ce real and grass crop on record. )Viilnablc Fertilizing Klrmcnls.

No other spring medicine has won for itself such universal cotifideucaas Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It is the most poweiful Combination of vegetable alteratives ever offered to the public, and is acknowledged by the medical profession to be the best blood puri fier. The New York World Bays: “Gen. Harrison will not drive his wedge very far into the solid South by call ing any carpet-bagger in that section to his cabinet.” No, nor by any other policy he may adopt. Every time a republican President is elected, there is much talk about his adopting a pol icy that would split the solid South. There has been enough talk to split the South into small fragments if talk would do it, but it is a signifigent fact that the South is as solid as ever. Ayer’s PU’> are so popular is, that rhile always reliable as a cathartic medicine, they never leave any 111 •uects. This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calo mel or aay other dangerous drag. In all caeee, therefore, whether the patient be old or young, they may be confi dently administered.

Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeep sie. N.

Among those which have heretofore been considered minor crops, sugar caue, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, are tiiree to which we iuvite atten tion. Sugar cane, although by no means a certain crop on ordinary up lands, generally yields w’ell on moist low lands and well enriched sandy or gray soils, and oiten gives enormous returns. A comparative failure in the crop'on account of drouth, which is about the only cause of failure, does not involve a heavy actual loss, since the principal cost is the manu facture into syrup. The syrup is al most universally liked by children and is one of the cheapest and most wholesome articles of food that comes on the tables of the farmer. By a lit tle care and skill a very fair article of sugar may be made, which will answer lor many if not all the pur poses of the household. We once tried Irish potatoes and sugarcane in the same patch, alter nating the rows of cane and potatoes, the rows being three feet apart. The potatoes, of the earliest variety (Early Rose,) and the cane were planted the same day, February 14, each being heavily manured in the drill, the land being good, “trodden,” sandy upland. The potatoes afforded sup plies for the table from April on to June, when they were dug, yielding a good crop, the cane being then about . waist to shoulder high. The summer and fall were exceeding dry, other-, wise the cane would have made a good yield, the potato crop not having visibly affected the prospect. The experiment would have been tried again had opportunity presented. If a sweet potato crop could be planted with the same ease as a cot ton crop; if the potato produced abun dant seed like corn or peas, and could be “dropped” as readily, the crop would become one of our leading food crops for man and animals. If the more thrifty Yankee could make sweet potatoes as easily as we of the South, he would fatten his hogs and beeves, feed his horses and mules, his cattle and sheep, his poultry and—his to fruit growers is the often mention ed “kainit,” a product of the cele brated mines of Germany. In fact, we believe that its merits are not yet fully understood nor appreciated by the tillers of the soil Rice Pudding.—Take cold boiled rice, that had been left from a previ ous dinner, put it in a pudding-pan, and mash all the lumps thoroughly; then take one pint of milk and two eggs, and mix all together; if the rice has been previously sweetened, it will require very little more sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon or grate nut meg on the top; a pint of milk will answer for t.bout a pint of the boiled rice. Bake as ordinary pudding. Best Icing.—For one large cake use a pound of pulverized sugar, roll ed or sifted, and the whites of two eggs. Stir the sugar gradually iuto the whites; when nearly stiff enough squeeze the juices of half a lemon. When all Ihe sugar is in, stir it well; put the icing in the center of the cake, spread it with a broad-bladed knife dipped in water. Put the cake on the stove-hearth till the icing is firm. Cocoanut Icing.—Take a pound of sugar and boil with water to moisten; let boil until very thick; take off the fire and pour over the beaten whites ««f three eggs; stir as fast as possible; add half a pound of grated cocoanut; —EVERYTHING— Necessary and Convenient for the Kitchen, Dining-Room, Dairy and Laundry, at Jessup Bros.’ STOVE EMPORIUM! 832 Broad Street, AUGUSTA, GA.
