Communications from our Farmers on any matter pertaining to Agriculture, are respectfully solicited for this column. How to Make Corn Cheaply. Cora i3 a most valuable grain, says the Southern Cultivator, and very desirable oq a farm, but often costs the farmer too much to make it. How to make it cheaply should be a matter of careful consideration. Mr. David Dickson says that after the land is prepared all the labor required to cultivate corn is less than one day per acre. His plan is briefly this: After deep breaking he laid off rows seveu feet apart with a long shovel, running twice in opposite direc? tions. Manure, whatever kind used, was dropped every three feet, and the corn dropped three or four inches from it on the near side, and covered one to one and a half inches deep with a harrow going in the same direction as the drop? per. In his locality he planted from the "10th of March to the 1st of April, and gave the first working from the 20th of April to 1st of May. Early dirting of the corn he considered a positive iujury, doing away with all the good of planting in a deep furrow. First ploughing, he sided with a twenty-two inch sweep, the back of the right wing elevated about one and a quarter inches, filling the shovel furrow within one inch of the general surface. The middles were finished with same sized sweep, the wings elevated. Four furrows in all completed a row, a horse going over three and a half acres a day. After three to four weeks it is ploughed again with same sized sweep, running five furrows to the row. Between the second and third ploughings he planted peas by running a shovel furrow in the middle, dropping six or seven peas every two feet and covering with a harrow. Two bauds and a dropper will pl?"' sixteen acres a day. The third and ludt ploughing is given with sweeps also, running only half inch deep. A twenty-two-inch sweep, with right wing elevated, sides the corn, a twenty six-inch sweep, with right wing half elevated, sides the peas. This makes four furrows in all to the row. He never put a hoe in corn. m His esti? mate was that only a small fraction over one day's work was required for an acre of corn and peas, and on poor pine land he averaged from twenty to tweuty-five bushels .per acre. One day's 'labor in preparing the land, one day's labor in cultivating the crop, together with cost of manure and gatheriug the crop, cov? ers the expense of one acre of corn, averaging twenty bushels. Allowing three dollars an acre for manure, and fifty cents each for hand and horse per day, the total expense per acre would not exceed six dollars, or thirty cents per bushel. We believo that with good management and sound judgment corn cau be raised at that cost. Even on bot? tom lands, by planting in checks four feet each way (leaving two stalks in each hill) the crop can be made entirely with the plough. We have done it for years, including several wet seasons. From the experience of the past year in feeding the heads of an early matu? ring variety of millo maize, we have con? cluded that it would be well to substitute this crop, in part, for corn. Horse3 relish the grain, fed whole in the head, appa? rently as well as corn, and fattened and worked upon it quite as well as upon a corn ration. It stands drought better than corn, and can be made with rather less work. Drill thinly in rows two and .a half to three feet apart and cultivate with sweeps or scrapes?hoe work is un? necessary. May be planted after the 20th of this month. So may all varieties of sorghum and millet. These will be found very valuable for soiling during summer and autumu when stock is not heavily worked and pastures are cut off by drought. A succession of plantings ought to be made from the 20th.of April to August. We have fouud these crops of great value in helping out the corn crib. They are better for feeding green than for curing into dry forage. We have Dot tried it directly, but are satis? fied they may be kept green the greater part of the winter by being put in silos or pits. Some report good results with sorghum preserved iu treuches like the Louisiana sugarcane. A Yeomanry. By this term I rneau that class of white citizens generally known as small farmers?men who hired negro labor worked farms of fifty, a hundred or two hundred acres; if they own the farms they till, so much the better. There are many such in tho South, but their num? bers should be, and, with well-directed efforts could be increased tenfold. Inured to work with spado and plow from boy? hood, they do not play the gentleman farmer but take their place in the field with their hired negroes, aud not only see them do their work, but set them an example. They do uot aspire to be planters; they do uot deal in futures and try to make fortunes by speculation ; they are simply farmers who make the earth yield her increase for the support of their families. They are not rich nor are they in baste to bo rich ; but they are well-to, and their thrift and frugality keep them out of debt and thus inde? pendent. Perhaps the most prosperous country in South Carolina owes its pros? perity to the unusually large number of such small farmers within its borders? a yeomaury to be proud of?such a yco mapryasto my thinking, the Southern States need above all things else. It was just such a yeomanry that about the second quarter of last century came into the Piedmont regiou of the Carolinasand Georgia; Irish and German settlers moving from Pennsylvania; Scotch-Irish and Scotch settlers from tide water Virginia; a hardy race of frontiersmen who hewed their way south? ward through dense forests and braved the tomahawk and bullet of the dusky savage at every step; an intelligent race of pioneers who built a church where ever they erected a fort and planted a school wherever they planted a erop. These were they who reclaimed the Piedmont country from nature and the savage native and whese descendants bid fair to make it the most prosperous and populous part of the Southern Slates. "We must work for immigration," says Prof. White. By all means?but let it be for the immigration, uot of a white peasantry, but of a yeomanry such as I have tried to describe?small farm? ers, skilled mechanic1*, tradesmen with small capital. Let them come from England, Ireland or Scotland, from Ger? many, France or Scandinavia, from Maine, Vermont or Massachusetts?let them come and welcome. "Norman and Saxon and Dane" they may be, and even Yankee, when they come, but one gen? eration shall not have passed before they will all have become Southerners. The Southern States and Southern railroad companies should act on Frof. White's advice and do all in their pow? er, by advertising and offering induce? ments, to divert, in some degree, the curreut of immigration to the South, not by such landsharlc schemes as that which recently brought a Scottish colony of well-to-do settlers to the barren sand? banks of Sarasota, Fla., but by such truthful representation as will assure the industrious and intelligent immigrant that if he will come to these Southern States and buy a little farm, he shall here find a home where he will delight to dwell. Tens of thousands *re seeking such homes, and such homes are here for them. I feel sure that if proper steps were taken thousands of such immigrants might be iuduced to come from the North and from Europe and bo happily and permanently settled in our Southern country. Thu3 would the unoccupied lands of the South become the abode of a sturdy and numerous yeomanry; and thus only, in my opinion, will the vexed negro question be pleasantly, successfully and finally settled.?IF. C. Bend, in Augusta Chronicle. Tltc Cost of Cotton. All planters are interested in thaques tio of the cost of a pound of upland cotton, yet comparatively few have any accurate information on the subject. Estimates are made all the way from six to nine cents per pound, and no dout the cost varies greatly in different sections and with different planters in the same sections. A very reasonable estimate on fair land is figured out as follows: Rent per acre, or interest on investment, ?2.50; (this, of course includes taxes, fencing, etc.,) preparation of land $1, fertilizers $6, planting and seed $1, hoeing ?1, plowing $1, gathering $4, ginning and packing, including bagging and ties, $2, total, $18.50 less seed at $2.25. Say the yield is 250 pounds, the cost at the gin house ready to be hauled to market is G.3 cents per pound. The above is a fair average estimate when seasons are favorable. It will cost an extra cent to send the cotton to mark ket and sell it, allowing for drying out and consequent loss in weight. It will be seen from this there is no money in the crop at prices that have prevailed in recent years-unless the quality is extra? ordinarily good. The average quality of cotton produced in Georgia is low mid? dling, and the price is singularly near the estimated cost of production. When fertilizers and supplies are bought on time the cost of the crop is usually from 15 to 25 per cent, greater than the foregoing estimate. Thi3, of course, makes the cotton cost more than it brings in the market, and it is not diffi? cult to see how it is that planters lose money when they do not conduct their plantations according to strict business principles and with economy. It is true that there are few planters that own their land who make more than a fair rent off their cotton crop, and there are very few renters that make any money at all on cotton. There are plenty of farmers in every part of the South, how? ever, who mako money from diversified farming.?Savannah News. "Farming Don't Pay." "Farming don't, pay," says the old fogy as he looks through the cracks of bis crumbling house, and counts the snow-flakes as they dance before the wind and crowd into the crevices which were left open because he was too thrift? less to endeavor to save the structure. "Farming don't pay" the farmer who depends on the sunny side of a straw stack for warmth to his stock, and the corners of a rail fence to break the force of the winds. "Farming don't pay" the farmer who breeds a hog with bristled back and long tusks to eat his corn at a loss, and return him no income. It does not pay him to attempt to pasture a few miserable, scraggy sheep on pennyroyal and sorrel, and to graze his pigmy cows on broom sedge and dry crab grass, and yet expect them to yield milk and butter. It does not pay to raise colts by weauing at birth in order to work the dams during the day, and feeding them on insufficient food. "Farming don't* pay" when the rich black liquids flow off from the barn? yard, and the plough and the harrow are rusting in the fields, while the fences are rotting and the barns tumbling to pieces. "Farming don't pay" unless rightly conducted, nor will manufacturing, nor any kind of business pay, under similar unfavorable conditions. The ? farmer must be on the alert. lie must keep his farm in order, grade up his stock, feed for best results, and endeavor to annually increase his products. Noth? ing must be wasted, and everything must be judiciously adapted to special purposes. "Farming don't pay," but it depends upon the farmer. The individual is equal to the farm in value according to the manner in which he conducts it. Cotton Seed for Fattening Hogs, E. M., of Georgia, has fed cotton seed to pigs, with a small amount of corn meal?the cotton seed being cooked and the corn meal stirred in after the cotton seed had been boiling half an hour, and after boiling another half hour it was allowed to stand for somo hours before being fed. When fed three pounds of cotton seed and two pounds of corn meal each, the pigs gained very rapidly?a dozen pigs gained an average of two pounds each per day. He says cotton seed is not one-half as valuable as corn as bog food, and yet when fed in this way with corn meal the grain was more than with twice the weight of corn alono. ?Chicago Times. Cotton Seed Thousands of Years Old. Senator Brown and Hon. S. S. Cox arc warm personal friends and occasional correspondents. The other day the min? ister to Turkey, who is now taking his vacation in Egypt, wrote a very interest? ing letter to the Georgia Senator. Near the ruins of Th bes Mr. Cox and his wife, guided by the celebrated achceolog ist. Maspero, investigated a newly opened tomb of an agriculturist who died 4,000 years ago. The mummy was found in excellent preservation, and the painted symbols on the wall were as fresh as the flowers of May. Among the ob? jects long buried with this farmer was a twig of cotton in bloum, which was .*ib perfect as if just wrested from the field. Alongside the fleecy boll, Mrs. Cox had placed a blue harebell which grew by the brink of the mystic Nile. Senator Brown will plant one ol the seeds of this wonderfully ancient boll and hopes to perpetuate it in North Georgia. Married Women's Contracts. The Supreme Court of the State has lately tiled a very important decision re? lative to tho validity of contracts made by married women. The facts in the case were: Bawls & Wilhalf, beiug in? debted to C. C. Habenicht, gave him a note, with Mrs. Jennie Agnew, a mar? ried woman, as surety. The uote being sued on, the Court holds that Mrs. Agnew's contracts as surety is void. The Act of 1872 gave to a married woman the right "to contract or be contracted with in the same manner as if she were unmarried." But .the Revised Statutes of 1SS2 amends the Act of 1S72 by iu sertiug the words "as to her separate property." The Supreme Court holds that before a married womau can be made liable on a contract made by her it must be made to appear that the contract was made in relatiou to or concerned her separate property. The Court goes fur? ther and says (we quote from the decis? ion): "If, therefore, a wife should sign a note as security for her husband, or, indeed, for any other person, and should declare iu the uote iu express terms her intention to bind her separate estate, that would not make the contract valid as to her, unless it was made to appear that the contract, though executed by her as surety, wa3 designed to benefit her separate property, or in some other way related to or concerned such proper? ty.?Nexoberry Observer. An Inflexible Juror. "There are some infernally obstinate men in this world," said Frank Funai the other day, "but I struck eleven of the worst specimens last week I ever came across." "How was that ?" "Why, you see, I was on the jury. In one case I'd no sooner laid my eyes on the prisoner than I made up my mind he was guilty, and the testimony only served to strengthen that opinion. To my sur? prise, I found, wheu we went out, that the other eleven jurors were unanimous in favor of acquittal." "And of course you gave in." "Not much ! I had a duty to society which I had sworn to perform, and I de? termined to do it if it took all night. I reasoned with them calmly, tearfully, prayerfully, but it was no use." "How did you bring them around ?" "Finally I said: 'Well, my mind is made up. When you fellows get over your dashed obstinacy wake me up.' And I just tipped my chair back and set? tled myself down for a good nap. Then I snored. Ever hear me snore ?" We all expressed regret because we had never enjoyed that pleasure. "Neither had those fellows. In ten minutes they were wild. Some of them wanted to jump out of the window, but couldn't get it open. Iu ten minutes more eight of them gave in, and in fif? teen minutes they waked me up and said they were satisfied I was right. The judge promptjy granted the prisoner a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence and common sense, and discharged the jury for the term. That lets me off jury duty for an? other year." Why Tcoplc Were Buried. When men began to bury their dead they did so in the firm belief in another life, which life was regarded as the exact counterpart of this present one. The unsophisticated savage, holding that in that equal sky his faithful dog would bear him company, naturally enough had the dog in question killed and buried with him, in order that it might follow him to the happy hunting ground. Clearly, you can't hunt without your arrows and your tomahawk ; so the flint weapons and the trusty bow accompanied their owner in his new resting place. The wooden baft, the deer sinew bowstring, the perishable articles of food and drink have long since decayed within the damp tumulus; but the harder stone and earthenware articles have survived till now, to tell the story of that crude and simple early faith. Very crude and illogical, indeed, it was, however, for it is quite clear that the actual body of the dead man was thought of as persisting to live a sort of under? ground life within the barrow. A stoue hut was constructed for its use; real weapons and implements were left by its side, aud slaves and wives were ruthless? ly massacred, as still in Ashantee, iu order that their bodies might accompany the corpse of the buried master in his subterranean dwelling. In ail this we have clear evidence of a very inconsis? tent savage, materialistic belief not in? deed in the immortality of the soul, -but in the continued underground life of the dead body.?Cornhill. -?o-o? Gen. Beuregard's >'ame. General Beauregard's real name is Pierre G. Toulan, and the name by which he goes is of his own adoption. Beauregard's ancesters came from Caua da, and his grand-father, old Pierre Toutau, emigrated at an early date to New Orleans, where he acquired great political influence. He bought a large estate outside of the city, and called it "Beauregard," meaning fine sight. Gen? eral Boauregard was named after this ancestor, and when, through him, he was admitted to West Point, it was under the name of Pierre G. Toutan. After a time, being of an aristocratic tendency, he changed his name to Pierre Toutan de Beauregard, which he, after a time, dropped into P. T. Beauregard. The fact that General Beauregard has no real right to his name will be a surprise to many. Expected Help. At a certain battle of the late war, a Federal Chaplain happened to get into the vicinity of a battery of artillery which was hotly engaged. The Confed? erate shells were ploughing furrows about the guns, and the cannoneers were grimly and actively at work to answer shot for shot. The Chaplain addressed himself to a Sergeant, who was very cllicicnt, but at the same time rather profane, iu the following words: "My, friend, if you go on this way. can you expect the support of Divine Provi? dence ?" "Ain't expectin' it,'' said the Sergeant. "The Ninth New Jersey has been order? ed to support this battery."?Southern IJicoiiae. Jiucklcn's Amnca Salve.

This class of troublesome complaints embraces a large list, some of which afflict nearly every family in the land. Heretofore the treatment of nearly all these diseases has been very unsatisfac? tory atid unsuccessful, and^ the people have been very much deceived by pre? tended remedies. A majority are caused by an impure, vitiated condition of the blood, ?.nd as most of the blood remedies of the day require 50 to 100 bottles be? fore you discover that they will not effect a cure, we offer B. B. B., which makes positive cures by the use of only a few bottles. The most common of the skin diseases which arc cured by the use of B. B. B., the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows: Ec2;ema, Old Ulcers, II emit if ill Comp lev ion is sought by the use of cosmetics and all sorts of external applications, some of them be; ng poisonous.

Oue author says: "Rhumatisni is due to the presence in the blood of a vegeta? ble organism of definite characters." Another says: "It is due to the pres? ence of a poison in the blood which is of the natuie of a miasm." The disease having its origin in the blood, it :s reasonable to s oppose that it must be cured by remed es directed to the blood. A successftri remedy mu3t produce certain changes in the composi? tion of the blood, and whet, this has been accomplished, all pain, swelling and stiff? ness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why ex? ternal applications fail to produce perma? nent relief. But we now have the reme? dy which acts like magic in giving relief to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart. It also cures syphilitic and mercurial pains and rheumatism in an incredibly short time. The fact cannot be denied that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) haii proven itself to be the most speedy and wonderful remedy for all forms of rheumatism ever before known. Men with two crutches, and hobbling along with stiffened and painful joints, withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite, are cured by the use of B. B. B. Cast aside all other remedies, use B.B.B, and you will soon have no use for crutches. Many who read this will refuse to be cured by the use of B. B. B., but we ad? vise all such to drop us a postal card for our Book of Wonders, free, which is filled with startling proof of cures made here at home. It also contains full informa? tion about blood and skin diseases, which everybody should read. Address Blood Balm Company, Atlan? ta, Ga., and you may be made happy.
