The Future of Southern Agriculture, j
?Thau the lands or Dixie, none on the j
globe are more fertile, and none yield a
greater variety of the necessities and j
luxuries of human life. Within its limits j
are soil and climate by nature adapted to '
the growth of every animal and vegeta?
ble known to the temperate zones and to
most of those ot the tropics. In the past
these natural advantages have been but
indifferently used by the people of the
South. But now. we do not hesitate to
declare the timo rife for the inttodirction
and general adaptation of all the arts and
implements know to the most liberal and
advanced system ot agriculture. Nay!
more, wo confidently anticipate lor agri?
culture in the South, a career more bril?
liant, with results more astounding, than
tho world has yet seen.
4>ouCltern Agriculture consists natunill}
of two great departments, that differ
widely and demand widely different sys?
tems of culture and management. There
are farming which differs in no essential,
degree from the same calling as practiced
elsewhere, and planting which is peculiar
to the South. .Ignorance of this difference
has misled maby wuters, and disregard
of it has willed many others into reeom
mendinir, to the planters plows and sys?
tems most excellent, perhaps, for the farm,
but: wholly inapplicable to the plantation.
Ami because the planter, seeing their tin
fituess, declines to alopt ti e u, it has
come to be quite theiashion to abuse him
as ami-progressive and stupid. Many ot
these writers have, of late. Ljone so far as
to advocato tho rubbing out of the word
Planier, aud substituting Farmer in its
stead. Now, all such advice is simply
absurd. When the practice of planting
ofcases the word planter will go out of use.
tHitit then, its use is right and proper and
will ho continued. But, though planting is
destined to continue the chief occupation
of the people iu eight of the Southern
States, it by no means follows that it is to
remain in statu quo. On the contrary, it
isri" the culture of cotton, sugar and rice,
the threo specialities ot the plantation,
that wo anticipate the greatest improve?
ment.; greater, indeed, than has been
worked in any other branch ot agriculture
during this century. This revolution is
to begin, or rather it has begun, iu the
developement of unimagined productive
nesa-^in ? tho eottou plant, through the
agency of applied manures and improved
"oultivation ; end is to be continued and
extended through the agency of machin
eH'i Slave labor was of so low a grade
that, in measure, it compelled those who
used it to retain an interior system ot cul?
tivation. While slavery lasted, it would
have been difficult, perhaps impossible, /or
the planters u? introduce any very high
grade ol cuttere.
But. slave labor had one great virtue
which counterbalanced all its vices, aud
that was its fixedness. It might not be
best, 'but it was always at hand. This, to
the planter, is an indispensable requisite.
He must have his labor always at com?
mand. Thin, the only superior virtue of
slave labor, was abolished along with
slavery. Negro labor is no longer fixed?
it is no longer biddable. This last virtue
Can besupplied only by machinery. During
the existence of slavery the planters leit
themselves able to ignore tho aid of ma
'cb'iiiery. But they cannot ignore its help
now. Nor will the attempt be made. On
lhe contrary, the time is but short when
the whistle of the steam plow will resound
through the plantations of the South. In
no long time, all the powers of mechanism
will be taxed ] to meet tho planter's de?
mands for biddable labor. And as the do
marvd is mot, the number of field hands
employed will diminish?until the lowest
nutuber is reached. This indeed, is now
the problem for the plantet to solve: How
to do the work required with the fewest hands.
Another piece of advice that the class
of writers, above referred to, are contin?
ually, of late, urging upon the planters, is
the breaking up ot plantations into small
farms. Now, the Dixie Farmer is par ex?
cellence the friend of mixed husbandry,
and never will advise the putting ot all
the eggs in one basket. But a variety of
crops is just as easily grown on a planta?
tion as on a farm. And the Dixie Far?
mer, prefers to see the planters add other
-cropo to their cotton, sugar and rice, in?
stead of substituting other crops for these
staples. Planting is naturally a whole?
sale business. It never has been .success?
fully carried on by retail, and in all proba?
bility, it never will be. On the contrary,
jbo effect of machinery on planting will
undoubtedly be the same that it has been
on inauuiucturiiig, that is. to increase the
scope and compass of establishments, and
the absorption of all neighboring little
shops. This introduction of machinery
iv.iil increase the breadth of land in culti
. vution under one proprietorship ; and it is
-about as absurd to regret such u result,
us it would ou to desire that innumerable
little shops should take the place of the
giant factories among manufactures.?
From this outlook the future of the South?
ern planter is very brilliant. It depends
on themselves alone whether this future
be realized, or remain only a creation of
the imagination.
The future of Southern farmers is not
?.'ss promising, if a wise use is but made
oi' tiie gifts* ot God, aud the inventions ol
man. Naturally, the introduction of new
systems of culture, and the use of machin?
ery, must be slower on the farm than on
the plantation, because the crops, being
more numerous*, the operations are more
diverse, cabinfor u greater var.ely ol
machinery. The tendency, however, is
.'the same in both farming and planting,
and the necessity is the same* The differ?
ence is only in degree.
The giv.it staples ot the Southern States,
that arc not planting States, are corn, to
bacco, wheat, grass, aud livestock of vari?
ous kinds. In obedience to tho laws of
climate and soil, which control the pro?
duction of the farmer, these will continue
to be the staples, and whatever improve-1
ment is made will bo in tho quality ot i
Dhoso articles.
Sheep husbandry, or the pastoral branch
of Agriculture will, in all probability, be
comparatively more largely increased than
any other Branch of stock raising. And
next to-this, cattle breeding. At least,;
such is the present tendency of things.
Of the tilled crops, wh?at seems to have
the widest margin, and to be winning
,grx>and most rapidly. The chief products, I
thon of tho coming improvement in South?
ern firming will, iu A) probability, b-* a
large iucreaso of grass, wheat,sheep, and
cuitle. with proportionate increase in all
other crops now grown. Another product
of this improvement be the building of
hotter houses for tho farmer and his
stock, the making or.better roads, the sys?
tematizing of all farm labor, and the ele?
vation of the social culture of all the oc?
cupants of tho farm.
Such, briefly told, is the probable futuro
of Soul horn Agriculture, as wo see it.
Sneh is the futuro for which wo labor.
That it is attainable we have not a shadow
of doubt. That it will be attained we
cannot doubt, while we keep faith in the
Southern people.?Dixie Fanner.
A Queer Htmn Book.?A good jokois
told of a preacher in Nebraska.'who had
dined with a friend just before afternoon
services. As it happened, this friend
occasionally luxuriated in a smile of the
arden:, and sometimes carried a morocco
covered flask in his overcoat pocket.
By mistake, the minister took the
friend's overcoat for his own on his de?
parture, and, walking into the pulpit, be?
gan the exercises without doffing the gar?
ment, it being rather chilly in the room.
Looking very ministerially over his
congregation, from behind his spectacles,
he began drawing from his pocket, as he
supposed, his hymn book, with the intro?
ductory remark that tho congregation
would sing from a particular page which
he had selected beforehand.
The minister held the supposed book up
in full sight of the congregation, and
attempted to open it sideways, but it was
no go.
The situation was realized in a moment,
bMt alas ! too late.
His reverence was dumfounded, the
whole scene was made ludicrous bj* a fel?
low in the back part of the congregation,
not altogether too sober, who drawled
out:
"Say, Mister, can we all (hie) jino in
that ar hymn ?"
Senator Sprague's Southern Pur?
chases.?The Dungerness estato, near
Fernandina, Fla., recently purchased by
Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, com?
prises 6,00U acres;-the mansion now on it
will bo fixed up for a winter residence.
The land is to be reserved for gardens,
parks, drives and hunting grounds. The
place is called "The Gem of Cumberland
Island." Senator Sprague has also pur?
chased a fine plantation of 3,000 acres on
the same island, which will be devoted to
the cultivation of ramie. The lands are of
a good quality, with a valuable growth of
live oak. The prico paid is ten dollars
per acre.

wind bags and money bag<?.
? Why is a dog's tale a great novelty?
Because no one ever saw it before.
? The next style of bonnet is to be a
bead and two inches of ribbon, fastened
with a hair-pin.
? As soon as a 3-oung gentleman be?
gins to make rhymes, he is sure tu get
type-us fever.
?? "Have I not offered you every ad?
vantage !" said a father to his son. "Oh,
yes," replied the 3'outh, "but I could not
think of taking advantage of my father."'
? No man can tell from his ledger
whether he is rich or poor. He is one or
the other, according lo what he is, not
according to what he has.
? It may serve as a comfort to us in
all our calamities and afflictions, that he
who losos anything and gets wisdom is a
gainer by the loss.
? An Illinois editor, speaking of a
rogue who lived in his vicinity, says: "Tho
rascal has broken every bank, jail and
Sabbath we have had in this country for
the past five years."
? An old lady reading an account of
tho death of a venerable nnd distinguished
lawyer, who was stated to bo the "father
of the Philadelphia bar," thus exclaimed:
''Poor man ! he had a dreadful set of noisy
children."
? An imaginative Irishman gave ot
teranco to this lamentation: "I return to
the halls of my fathers by night, and
found them in ruins! I cried out aloud,
"My fathers, where are they ? and echo
responded, "Is that you, Patrick McCar?
thy?"
? The editor of the Holmes County
Farmer says : "The woman who mhde the
butter which we bought last week is re?
spectfully requested to exercise more
judgment in proportioning the ingredi?
ents. The last batch had loo much hair
in for butter, and net quite enough for a
water-fall. There is no sense in making
yourself bald headed, if butter is thirty
five cents a pound."
? "I never knowed anything gained b}'
being in too much of a hurry," saul Mrs.
Parlington. "When me and my dear
Paul \vn? married, ho was in 6iieb a par?
ticipation, that he came near marrying
one of the bridesmaids instead of me.
And he was such a queer man," she con?
tinued; "why, he joined the fire wood
brigade, and ono night in his hurry ho put
his boots on hind part afore, and its he
ran along, every body behind got tripped
up. The papors was full of crowners'
quests on broken legs and lirnbs for a
wee^ afterwards,'' and she relapsed into
tin abstraction on the ups and downs of
life.
? Judge Portly got up an earthquake
tableau recently. lie had taken supper
with an old thespian friend after the per?
formance at tho theatre. Both being in
a convivial mood, numerous bottles as
well as jokes was cracked- Finally, the
judge found himself on the way to the
bedside of his stately sponsc. Not wish?
ing to disturb the slumber ot the old lady,
the Jndge thought he would gropo his
way silently to bed in the nearly darkened
room; but that last pickled oyster had
upset his centre of gravity, and stumbling
over an ottoman tho Judge went to the
carpet with a force that made the glass
ware jingle, the windows rattle and the
floor tremble. "Merciful heavens!'' ox
claimed Mrs. Portly, as she rose from her i
conch and turned on the gas, "My dear,
are you hurt?" "No, but I think the
earthqiisiko must have reached New!
York!" replied the old sport, trying to
regain his equilibrium. "I think so too,
for I am really shocked !" said Mrs. P., J
as she realized the situation.
