M. KENNEDY, Ex'r. Feb 1,1580 so f> I fkwtt? Column, USr* Communications from our Farmers on any matter pertaining to Agriculture, arc respectfully solicited for this column. Make the Farm Self-Sustaining. Mb. Editor: In my article of week before last, I was considering the ques? tion of labor, and its results, from a Biblical stand-point, and while I do uot claim to have made it as plain to the minds of others as to myself, yet all must see that whatever is in accordance with the Divine will must surely come to pass. So that if it is His will that "no labor that is in the Lord shall be in vain," and that to work for a living is a legitimate object, then every one so doingshall certainly secure that for which he seeks. And this is true both of the just and the unjust, for He maketh His sun to shine and His rain to fall upou each alike. In the olden time, the Egyptians, being instructed by Joseph, turned aside ijom money waking and con? quests, aud devoted all their energies for seven years to this one object of making bread-stuffs, that they might be able to tide over the years of drought so sure then, even as now to couie. ?9 a result, the whole laud was filled with plenty, so that they could feel at ease though the skies above them were as brass. And not only so, Israel himself, because of improvidence, was compelled tosend thither fur supplies, and even , tually to ,:go down into Egypt" in order ? to perpetuate his own, and the lives of bis posterity. Decause of this violation of the Divine order, (of course I speak of natural things) he and all his were held in bondage to this- people upwards of four hundred years. I speak in this manner concerning this event, because we arc too npt to overlook natural causes in trying to feret out the spiritual signifi? cation of all passages in the Bible such as this. Let Us remember that this is a historical record given for our learning^ upon whom the end of tho world has come, and that Jacob's improvidence was the cause of his posterity's bondage, and that if we go contrary to the same rule, like results will follow to us. Turning aside from this iine of reason? ing, and from illustrations drawn from the Scriptures, wo come nearer home even within the range of our own obser? vation and experience, aud what do we see? Tbat every man wc have ever known, without one single exception, who has devoted his time and strength to the cultivation of the cereals [i. c.) corn, wheat, oats &c., and thus enabled to raise his own stock, has succeeded in life?has always had a sufficiency of the things of this life to drive th? Wolf from his door, and better still some to spare to his less provident countrymen; so tbat in the course of a decade of years he has been enabled, though in many cases starling from nothing, to rank as the most pros? perous mau in his commtuiity. And yet again, thrsc are the men to whom the masses go when in a strait to borrow money with which to pay debts, or run tbem another year. Let us analyze this sentence. The mau who works for a living?for bread?has plenty, and to spare, has money to lend. And all men speak .veil of him because be has done good for himself. I am strongly temp? ted to give the names of scores and hundreds known to myself, as examples, but will refrain, ft is enough to say that they are in every neighborhood. And I ask my brother farmers to look them up and follow their example in this respect; for in so doing you will place yourselves in the channel through which flows the current of success. But, says hundreds of your readers, I am in debt, and am obliged to raise cotton. And others, I will have to give a lien for supplies, and will have to plant cotton to get money to pay for them. ? Such is the almost uni? versal cry ; and indeed the lot of all such is a hard one. But bow camo you in debt? How comes it that you have to give a lien? Was it not caused from plauting cotton ? from working for money instead of bread ? MoBt assuredly it was in nine cases out of ten. Was it not because of unholy aims, a desire to be rich rather than to live well ? I am sure that is the cause. If those be the causes of this almost hopeless condition, then, in all conscience, let me ask if doing that again, over aud over, can ever relieve , you ? Never, never. The only hope of j our rer1* mption from the evils existing in this direction, is to turn aside from former practices and unholy aims and go to work to eat bread in tho sweat of our face. Let every farmer realize that the earth upon which he lives has a living in it for him and his, and that if he would secure it, he must work for it. "In the morning, then sow thy seed, aud in the evening withhold not thy hand." "Sow beside all waters," on the hill top, and in the valleys. Plant oats, corn, pota? toes, garden stuff in nbundance, and when done planting certainly enough of these, then, and not till then, sow your cotton seed. "Work for the night is coming." Work your cropd in which your living lies, "at early morn and dewy eve," and cease not until its done, then, aud not till then, work your cotton for money. "For the love of money is the root of all evil." In my next I will say something as to the preparation of land, planting and cultivation of bread ciops. M. McGee. The Pickcns Fanners. On Monday, the 1st instant, the Agri? cultural Society met in the court house and was colled to order by the President, Dr. S. W. Clayton, and the discussion of tiig programme was commenced. Mr. Williams did not think that wheat ought to he harrowed in the spring. Mr. Holder had tried the ex? periment and it did not kill his wheat, and if it did any good he could not per? ceive it. He knew of a man having harrowed his wheat with some success. Mr. Joab Mauldin harrowed hin wheat, last year about the firs', of April, hut the land was rather wet and the ground rough. Otherwise it would have been beneficial. Those who had tried the ex? periment said it was worth trying again, and if they had time they would certain? ly repeat. Mr. John T. Lewis had harrowed one s .ingof wheat by trying i<> replant in January, and what rem.lined of find sowing was very fine. Mr. Langston had tried fertilizing if | the spring, but did not know that much : good resulted. Mr. Looper had tried the manuring j in the spring by broad-casting manure, ! and it bad helped the crop considerably, but was not prepared to say that it would pay. Mr. Holder had once improved' bin crop very much by fertilizing in the spring. Mr. W. B. Allgood reported his fall sowing of oats as looking very sofry. He always succeeded better with spring sowing. Mr. Looper'a oats were look? ing well. Mr. Martin reported his oats as looking fine, large enough to almost hide a rabbit. Mr. Looper "thought spring oats to do well must be highly fertilized or sowed on rich land. Mr. Looper did not think that it was a good plau to plow our lands deep with improved plow3, in preparing them for cotton. Ha thought best to burn off stubble before breaking laud. He pre? ferred the Cheatham seed, and used about 200 pounds of fertilizer per acre. Mr. Allgood preferred the Osier seed. Mr. Ellis said that the Jones, where it had results, compared with Osier seed, had produced ten pounds more of lint to the acre. Mr. J. A. GrifGn thought that we ought to be careful In the use of acida in view of a drought. Hon. J. H. Bo wen said there was not much danger of gettiug too much guano on good land, but poor land would uot support so much. Farmers in Marl bor? ough had used us much as 2,000 pounds to the acre. He had put GOO pounds o1 acid, 100 pounds of manure aud 50 bushels of cotton Deed to the acre, and only plowed the land once, deep, before putting in fertilizers. He made some? thing over two bales on three acres. This experiment was made in 18S3. Mr. Stackhouse, of Marlborough, had been cultivating 20 acres in cotton for several years. The smallest yield from this was 2L bales, and the largest was 37. Mr. S. had put in drill 50 bushels of cotton seed to the acre. It was impos? sible to use loo much fertilizer to the acre on good land, drouth or no drouth. Mr. Allgood thought that 9 acres in cotton was as much as one band could work properly. Mr. Loopcr said that 8 acres was enough. Mr. McMahan said 10 acres was about the average to the baud in this county. The President stated that many of the citizens of Marlborough admitted that to produce their fine crops they had used G00 pounds of fertilizers to the acre, and that they preferred 1,000. ? Mr. \V. T. O'Deil said be bad gen? erally cultivated his cotton in the old slip shod way, plowing shallow. Messrs. McMahan, Parkins and Looper put cotton to a stand, first working near as possible. -Col. Hollingsworth thought it was best to leave in bunches. Several were of the opinion that one half bushel seed was sufficient to plant an acre if carefully distributed. Mr. Lo> per cr.id deep plowing in summer helps the crops to stand drouth. Mr. Allgood's objection to deep plowing was, it made the crop waste itself on a second growth. Mr. J. H. Bo wen was in favor of a surface cultivation. Deep plowing should all be done before crop was planted. Grass was a great injury to crops in dry weather?it helped to drink the moisture. Dr. Clayton agreed with Mr. Bowen, and said it would be best to cuTlivato cotton with the hoe if we could work enough land in that way to pay for the labor expended. Mr. Looper still insisted that deep plowing was best and he appealed to those who differed to try it. Mr. Allgood thought he was right if it rained, but wrong, if it should not. Dr. Clayton had seen cotton worked successfully with a hoe on a small scale.?Pichcns Sentinel. Prices and Profits. Wo cannot possibly see where the profits in cotton raising can begin to come in at present prices. At present prices, or anything like the rate, the cot? ton planters of the South must be raised out of cotton raising altogether. With two and a half acres to the 450 pound bale, we see 180 pounds per acre. This will be, possibly, about the averago for the country over. Let us state the cost of production,'so that.auy business man can see for him? self where cotton production is drifting. Here is the statement per acre: One first class ploughmau to 20 acres at ?15 per month, $180, or $9 per acre. Food for one animal at 30 cents per day, $110 a year, or ?5.50 per acre. Three good choppings at 50 cents per acre, $1.50. Picking 180 pounds of lint at ?1.50 to hundred pounds of lint, >2.70. Ginning, bagging aud packing at ?100 per hundred, ?1.80. Transportation on 180 pounds, at 25 cents per hundred for a hundred miles, with average of 200 miles to market, 90 cents. Fertilizer, 150 pouuds to acre, and at ?35 per ton delivered, ?2.G2. Now aggregate these amounts to the acre and we have: Plouchman.? 9 00 Animal., Chopping.?. Picking. Ginning, &c... Transportation Fertilizer. 5 50 1 50 2 70 1 80 90 2 02 $24 02 To meet this expenditure we find ISO pounds of lint at last Charleston quota? tions, S 11-1G cents, $15.03. Compared with above figures, we see a deficit of $S.39 on every acre planted. Now, un? less along with this cotton production this $S.39 is mado up in some other product, got with the same labor need in making the cotton, here is a loss which would soon drive cotton production out of our fields. And even with additional product, whore is the margin left for the cotton producer? It may be that we have slated this cost 25 per cent, too high. This would take off $G, and leave the cost at $1S for an acre's product in cotton put to market. But still there is a loss of $2 37 to the acre. So that a farmer running a five horse farm would have to show, in ad? dition to his cotton product $2.37 of other products per acre clear of all cost of production. Quite possibly a thrifty fanner would show some 70(1 bushels of corn or more, with wheat, ?ntH, peas, potatoes and vogetnh'.-.s, and -Mould he raise his own meat he i?tili] live; but if otherwise when1 wii'd he hi-.? This is just the time that farmers and planters are pitching their crop*, and we purposely repeal Ihe*? facts for their parnesl non?idpr:ilion ?nd In nr<ro upon 1.1!em thiii ?! ,j '.vi-r-i' in hi yrasping at a shadow to p'au! eoliim ill Iho ruling rates. J! the world d'?es no! want In pay living n!ei for the staple, the planters must slop producing it. It is not as he will, but as Ins must in this mailer. The Southern planier t*<i|l find thai not u pound of cotton should be raised at less than 12 cents, and if the world cau't pay that the production must stop. There is absolutely no sense in shutting our eyes to the stubborn fact.?Columbia Register. A Good Illustration. A Marietta, Georgia, correspondent writes to the Atlanta Constitution the following: Cobb Superior Court met here last Monday, Judge Joel Branham, of Rome, presiding. Judge Brown was disqualified fiom presiding. Judge Branham has won many golden opinions from our people by the impartial charg? es to the juries and his just but lenient sentences. The charge of Judge Branham to the grand jury was strikingly forcible, and particularly so in expounding the duties of working the public roads. In regard to breaking up the practice of carrying concealed weapons, he gave an illustra? tion that came under his observation while a practicing attorney iu Rome. He had a clerk in his office who carried a derringer pistol in each of his vest pockets. This lie tried to persuade him not to do, but ho was persistent in his purpose. A client made a remark to the clerk after he (Branham) had lost his case, that he made no effort to do his I duly in the matter. On accosting the client about it he denied making the statement. The clerk and the client and Judge Branham all met in the law oflice, when the clerk wanted to know of the client if he deuied making the aforesaid remark. The client emphatically denied it, when the clerk, who was seated at the table writing, looked up and simply re? marked : "You have lied, that's all." The client, who was a largo, muscular fellow, picked Up the tongs and was in? tending to brain the clerk, when the aforesaid clerk placed his fingers in his vest pocket and pulled out a derringer, and, without getting lip fr?iii his seat, rested his hand ou the table and ex? claimed : 'You put down those tongs I" The man very prudently put down the tongs. When be had left the clerk said to Judge Branham : "You have always insisted that I should not carry a pistol, as I would have no need of it. Now, Buppose that I had not had that weapon that fellow would have killed me with those tongs." "Not at all probable," re? plied Judge Branham. "Why?" inter? rogated the surprised clerk. "Because," replied Judge Branham, "if you had beeu without a pistol you would not have called the fellow a liar." This wa3 a revelation to the clerk, aud he aban? doned the practice of carrying concealed weapons. Wauled to Fly. "I don't care for swimming," said the young wild,duck; "I want to fly." It was the first day of leaving the ne3t, and the mother bird was very proud of the flourishing young brood just beginning life. The nest had been made in the coziest of corners beside the river, over? hung by rocks, an'd With wild flowers and and rushes bending down upon it. It was so cool and shady there through the hot .summer days, except when early in the morning, the sun's rays glinted down between the birch trees on the bank. The pair had agreed it was time for the children to take to water?at least, for some of them?so while the father bird remained in the nest with thosenvho were hatched later, the mother turned out with the older onesi Two were already enjoying the water, hut just as the other little duckling was going to make a plunge, he happened to look up, and he caught sight of a dragon fly. As it hovered over him, and then glanced away, its brilliant, gauzy wings glittering in the sunlight, it quite turned his head. And like many another young creature, he fixed his mind on something he had not, and forgot all nbout what he had. "Why can't I fly like that? I want to fly," he said again. "Patience, my child," replied the wise mother; "you will fly some day, but you have no wings yet ?only legs. You must use your legs in the water as we are do? ing, and that will help you to grow up properly. If you do your part in the present, you will be preparing for the future. You havo got to be educated, you know ; don't you see ?" But the young duckling did not see, a?d he would not listen. He only flapped his tiny stumps of wings and stared up at tho dragon fly. If he had beeu a child, he would have pouted ; but as it was, ho did whatever it is that ducks do when they are sulky, and he turned his back at his brothers, and pad? dled away. Day after day it was just the same; he would not take to tho water because he wanted the air. He moped and moped, and this was all his cry: "I want to fly." Of course, he could uot grow. He was not using the means for developing himself, so he could not be a duck all round. In longing for the future, he- lost the present. Ho got smaller in.stead of bigger, and would have dwindled down to nothing, I suppose, had uot a prowling I fox one night pounced on him?a poor starved duckling, aud a very meagre sup? per after all! It is no good, our longing for the future, unless we are preparing for it in the present. Because what we have now is always the training for what we are to have by and by. And ah ! it is no use wanting to get to heaven unle-s wo are employing the right means and making life the training place for eternity. ?

Few take the trouble to think about their work, and consequently, the great majority of people fail to get the most and best u>e from their tools. The few who do think, will agree with us when we say, that a grindstone is both badly used and badly chosen. It is too small; too thick ; it is not evenly and truly set and centered ; it is not properly speeded, and is turned either loo fast, and made to throw the water around, or too slow, and so fails to do its work well; it is not well taken care of, and it is badly used. A grindstone, to do good service, should bo at least three feet in diameter and two and one-half to threo inches in thickness, having a bevel on each side of the face for grinding on. It should be quite free from hard spots of iron pyrites, which are injurious to tools, although these may be taken out with a sharp pointed punch. If it is not centered truly, it will worl: out of .shape, and soon require trueing up. It .should run as fast as possible, as it does work both better and more quickly. To prevent it from throwing water, a piece of bagging should be fastened to a staple fixed across the frame on each end but not so close as to grind it out; this will catch the excess of water and yet keep the stone wet enough, aud clean it. The stone should be kept in the shade, and never in water, which soften? it and makes one side wear faster than the other. The water box should have a hole in it, 'o let out tho water and keep the stoue dry when not in use. In grinding) it should mostly turn from the tool, and if used otherwise, great care should be taken by the one who holds the tool, bot to gouge tho stone.?Ameri? can Agriculturist. f?lEDSG?L MEN !
