Plant Core We aro fearful lest the present high price of cotton shall induce the Georgin planter to devote too much of his land this year to tho production of that staple to tho neglect of a full corn crop. Such a policy, if adopted, will surely lead lo the ruin of those who engage in rfc. We care not what price cotter may bring,the first duty of those planters who would pros? per is to secure full and ample provision orops.. We hear ? great deal of nonsense talk ad these days about its being cheaper to bay bacon than to raise it, when a pound ot cotton will bring the price required to purchase a pound of bacon; and that an acre of land planted in cotton will bring money enough at present prices te pur ehase as much corn as three or four acres will produce. Thoso who arguo in this way and act in accordance with thoso theories will alwa);s be poor. Thoir stock in?Twork-anima's will nover bo able to perform full work, and every living thing about-the plantation will speak trumpet tongued against such a false system. It matters not how much cotton the ykuuer produces, ho can never make a large net gain so long as he is compelled to purchase at high prices everything consumed in making the crop. A large crop of cotton, mado in this way would tend: to depress prices, while the extraor? dinary demand for grain and provisions, growing out of a failure on the part of cotton planters to make their own sup? plies, would send prices up: This, then, is too inevitable result to be derived from fcrge cotton to the exclusion of corn planting?low priced cotton?high priced corn?lean and weak work stock?starv? ed, farm animals?cmjity pockets?shoe? less children?threadbare clothing and Boar dispositions. The experience of our planting friends will bear us out in the declaration that planters will not feed sufficiently when they have to buy provisions. They will also purchase cheap-supples?musty corn, poor bacen, etc.?which in turn produces disease among thoir stock and often hoavy losses in the very midst of the plowing season. Have wo all forgotten so soon the distress and want, and diseaso of the yea>r L867, following an almost total fail? ure of the crop of 186(3,? Will not plan? ters be warned in time of a like and im? minent danger growing out of a failure to-firy to mako provisions ? In this connection wo beg to call atten? tion to the following judicious remarks of ?he Memphis Avalanche on this subject: In tho year 18GG the cotton crop was equally as large as it is this year, and the raost of tho crop of that year was sold for ?wenty-fivo cents a pound, or upward. Notwithstanding these faotsr theio* was great distress among Southern planters obc following year. What was the cause? Dt was the result of not having raised, in tho South, during the year I860, enough of provisions to sustain the plantations. C?rn was bought during the year 1867, by the planters, at from one dollar.and fifty cenU to two dollars per bushel, and bacon at tw?nty-fivo cents por pound. I Although the crop ot this year is selling ior.tosa than did the crop of 18G6, and jjrobably will not exceed the crop of that jtear in bales, yet the farmers are in a much better condition, because they have few supplies of bread and meat to pur? chase. If tho people of the South would miscall their own breadstuffs, supplies of meet, aftd their own mares, mules and cattle, which they might easily do, they aeuld bettor afford to raise cotton at fif? teen cents per pound than they could to I Utise it at twenty-five or thirty cents- per oound, and.have all- these things to buy. Wisdom requires us first to raiso our sup? plies, and that in groat abundance, and then we can afford to raise cotton and risk the prices. Cotton should bo our permanent capi? tal, and none of it ought to bo required to purchase supplies. If a planter raises and sells ten thousand dollars' worth of ootton, and has to pay for horses, mules, corn, fodder and meat ten thousand dol j ftirs, it is evident ho has made nothing oJear; but if the samo farmor. the next! year should.raise and sell only five thou? sand dollar*' worth of. ootton, and in ad-1 dition all; bis supplies, he would make I five thousand dollars more than he did-' the year before. The agricultural re? ports of the United States Government of this year show that much greater net average m? value has been made upon Many other articlos than cotton, when we take into consideration the cost of produoing. tho various articles. A. coun? try which? relies- alone on one staple, ^nether that be wheat, corn or cotton, can-nevor become wealthy. Variety in productions is the real secret of agricul? tural wealth. Let our fanners remeSnber that it is not the high price of cotton that is now enriching them, out it is the abun? dant supply of provisions. It is a re? markable fact that the stock-raising and provision growing countries, even before tjie war, were much more prosperous tjian those which were devoted exclusive? ly to cotton and sugar, growing. It is e^ven .mpre so .now. -=-_A\ young lady being engaged to he. Warned,' and getting sick of the bargain, applied to a;friend'to help her untie the ^not before it was too late.

It convoys to every boy an impressive lesson : "An honest, industrious boy" is always wanted. Ho will bo sought for ; his ser? vices w ill bo in demand; he will be spo? ken of in terms of high commendation, ho will always havo a home, he will grow up to be a man of known worth and es? tablished character. lie will be wanted. The merchant will want h m for salesman or clerk ; the mas? ter mechanic will want him for apprentice or journeyman; those with a job to let will want him for a contractor; patients will want him for a doctor; roligious con? gregations for a pastor; parents for a teacher of their chihjigo. and tiio people for an officer. He will bo wanted. Townsmen will want bi n for a citizen ; acquaintances for a neighbor; neighbors as a friend; fam? ilies as a visitor, nay, girls will want him for a beau, and finally for a husband. "An honest, industrious boy!" Just think of it boys; will you answer that description? Ara yon sure that you will be wanted ? Yon may be smart and active, bit that does not fill the requisi? tion?are you honest-? Yon may be capa? ble?are you industrious? Yon may be well dressed, and create a favorable im? pression at first sight; are you sure your friends, teachers and acquaintances can recommend yon foi^these qualities? How would you feel, your charactor not being thus established, on hearing the word9 "I can't employ you !" Nothing clso will make up for these qual ties. No rcadines?, no aptness for busi? ness will do. You must be honest and industrious?must work and labor. Will your calling and election for places of profit and trust be mado sure ? Roger A. Pryor.?The New York cor? respondent of the Chicago Tribune says: "Eight years ago, Roger A. Pryor strut? ted through Main street in Richmond, all eyes turncd"to follow him, and such re? marks reached,his cars as helped to swell even hie inordinate vanity. To day he walks through Nassau street to his office, and in that crowded lane no one is con .scious of his presence, and few would know who he is if he were named. "After the surrender of Lee and John? ston he came North, and has lived here ever since. He says the South was whip? ped;, that he has accepted the situation, put the bitter past behind him, and gone to work, and thinks it would be much bet? ter if his late companions in arms would do likewise. "Pryor has little of the old swagger, the overweening vanity, the supreme s?lfcon sciousness of other days. He takes no part in politics, writes no leters, gives no counsel, but very wisely keeps silenc?, and submits gracefully to the inevitable. "Pryor is a picturesque-looking brunette; slight, erect, andigraceful in figure; has an intellectual face, with quite prominent features; wears his hair long and behind his ears; is an interesting and fluent talker, winning in mannen?, and socially a very pleasant fellow. lie has a wife and family, and is getting good practice. On the whole, he is one of the best specimens I know of a reconstructed rebel, and shows how much improved a man may be when he has had the nonsens? fairly taken out of him.*' ? A nice way of overcoming bashful scruples has boon found in North Caro? lina. At a recent wedding a guest pro? posed that one man in the company should be selected as president; that this president should be duly sworn to keep entirely secret all the communications that should be forwarded to him rh lira official department that night; that each unmarried gentleman and lady should write hrs or lic-r name on a picco of pa? per, and under it place the name of the person they wished to marry, then hand it to the president for inspection, and if any lady and gentleman had reciprocally chosen each other, the president was to inform each of the result, and thoso who had not been reciprocal in their choice were to bo kept entirely seerct. After the appointment of the president, com? munications were accordingly handed up to the chair, and it was found that twelve young ladies and gentlemen had recipro? cal choices, and eleven of the twelre matches were solemnized. Learx to Wait.?Of all the lessons that humanity has to learn in life's school, the hardest is to learn to wait. Not to wait with folded hands that claim life's prizes, without previous effort, but, having struggled and crowded the slow years with trial, see no such result as effort seems to warrant-nay, perhaps, disaster insttad. To stand firm at such a crisis of existence, to preserve one's self poise and self respect, not to lose hold or relax effort, this is greatness, whether achieved by man or woman, whether the eye of the world notes it, or- it is recorded in that book which the light of eternity shall alone make clear to the vision. Lv Search of a Home.?The Hillsboro (N; 8.) Recorder nays : "An ox-cart filled with women a r.d^ohiklreu passed through this town on Wednesday evening. Two men and a bull calf were pulling the cart ?the bull in the middle, and a man har nessed'iu rope and fastened to each end of the singletree. In answer to where they were from, the men said that lh?1 was to piay in Western Virginia, and that they weic moving to Raleigh to look after "a home.' Everybody?bull and all?was pulling his 'level best."' ? It is a fact perhaps not generally known but interesting to young men, that tho solitary ringlet, which floats from so many waterfalls, is a notification on tho part of their carriers that they aro not engaged. If it is extremely long the wearer is supposed to be very desirous of getting spliced at once; if only moder alely long, it shows that only good offers will be entertained ; an extremely short, meagre- ringlet indicates that the wearer is very particular as to whom she accepts, but nevertheless shows that she is nut yet engaged. ?*?? - ?

Anderson fi. H., J;in. 7, lPM 2P-lm [From the Southern Cultivator.'] Clias. A. Peabody on Commer cial Manures. HIS METHOD OF APPLICATION AND BESDTTS. Editors Southern Cultivator: As I am constantly receiving letters from all partsof the cotton-grow? ing States, asking my views of Guano?what kinds I prefer?how I uso it, nird what quantities??I will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer to nil. Some twenty-five years ago, I began to ex? periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian. This gavo good satisfaction, but was, I then thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all of the ot her varieties of note. Some were good, others worthless. I had come to the conclusion that the Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap? est in the on J. as a hard-working, industrious man could manipulate it, with any other substaacc he thought proper. I have found salt, plaster, flow? er of bones, sKnrvp muck, &o., valuable to ma aipulate with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of manipulation is great, and in the process of ma? nipulation, much of the ammonia escapes. From this fael I hare been led to inquire, whether there was not an excess ef ammonia in Peruvian Guano, and whether it would not be more advantageous to pay for the Phosphates, than to pay so much extra for the volatile ammonia. Whilst full of this idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was ro well pleased with it, tlint last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and the othor half with the genuine Peruvian. The same quantity of each was used per acre. The land was of the same quality, the planting and culture was in all respects the same, and when the crop was gather? ed, it was impossible to tell which was tho best. Now the Soluble Pacific Guano cost mo $20 less per ton, and as a oonscquenco, I havs this year used the Soluble Pacific Guano alone. It cost me at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton. It may be well hero to state the character of my land. I do not live cn exactly what would be called pine barrens, but it is next lo it. The older portion of my land will not, with ordinary culture, bring three hundred pounds of seed cotton to tho acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex? periment on with the Dickson Cotton, hybridizing it with my Upland Long Staple. I plowed and sub-soiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly level; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about twenty-five feet wide, and sowed Soluble Pacific Guano broadcast, at the rate of two hundred pounds to the acre. This I turned under, with a turn shovel, then opened furrows three feet apart, with a long point scooter, following in tho samc furrow 1 put two huudred pounds more of the Gu? ano to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth? er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left but a slight ridge, and on this ridge planted tho seed. The Dickson variety bears much thicker planting than ether kinds. The growth and fruit? ing of the crop was superb?nothing equal to it had over been seen in this section of the country, and if the worms had not swept all the top and end bolls, it would have made two good bales to the acre. As bad as it has turned out, it hasm/ide a bale to llie acre. To a half acre near my dwel? ling, that I "had cow-penned kst w bit er,-1 applied two hundred poutids of the Soluble Pacific Guano in the drill, and, not withstanding excessive wet weather in August, and the worms, which took all the lato crop, I have picked over two thousand pounds of seed cotton from the half acre. There are those in my neighborhood, who plant land as good as mine, but without Guano, that will scarce? ly realize a bale from ten acres this year. And now a word to the purchaser. If you would get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it only ot the authorized agents of the Company. I have tried tho Peruvian and-Pacific on my garden crops, but with no good results: Peruvian Guano seems to be emphatically the food for the cotton fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Penman Guano, we are pay? ing for a volatile ammonia, much of which is bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter's interest to take that Guano which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abun? dance of ammonia tor all practical purposes? The Soluble Pacific Guano I have found from sound practical tests, lo be equal to tho Peruvian and much cheaper. I hold that no man can afford to plant cotton without Guano. CHAS. A. PEA BOD V.
