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.

Wasted?As Honest, Industrious
Boy.? We lately Raw an advertisement
headed as above. 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.

? "Rose, my dear," said mother to her
daughter, "if you aro so prim and reserved,
you will never get a husband." ".Ma,''
replied tho. young lady, "unless the poets
teil Ii Iis, a prim rose is. not without attrac?
tions."
? What would this world bo without
a woman ? A perfect blank?like a sheet
of paper?not even ruled.
? "Steel your heart," said a considerate
father to his son, "for you arc going now
among some fascinating girls."
"I had rather steal their's," said the un?
promising young man.
? A man who had a scolding wife, be?
ing willing to excuse her failings, when
called upon to give some account of her
babbits and character, said she was pretty
well in general, only subject at times, to
breaking out of the mouth.
? A little girl worn out by a long ser?
mon, observing the preacher gathering
himself for the introduction of another
"point," exclaimed: "Oh, mother! he is
not going to stop at all. He is swelling

? "Ton have lost some of your friends,
I see," said a traveler to a negro whom he
met on the road. "Yes, massa." "Was
it a near or distant relative ?" "Well,
party distant?'bout twenty four miles,"
was the reply.
? In a case before court a juror listened
patiently to the different , counsel, but the
judge's charge staggered him. He said he
could tell whose side the eennsel talked
for, but he'd be doggontd if knew what
side that other fallow was on.
? A negro philosopher, discussing the
relations of races, said: "Yon know de
turkey he roosc on de fence; an' dc gooso

[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.
