All Gotton And .Starve..-. J.
The Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia
made the following terse and pointed ,
remarks in a speech recently deli
ered by him in that State. lie I
said:
I tell you to day, I carc not what ]
seasons may come, what large crops (
you may raise, still under existing j
conditions, you will grow poorer,
who produce cotton, and they will (
ever grow richer who handle it after j
it is produced. Without a great (
change the Southern States arc
O j
destined to become so many plania- ]
tions, practically owned by the '
Northern people, and the Southern ,
people so many hireling slaves to |
work them! And in this condition |
you will reap scarce the wages, and |
not half the respect of your former (
slaves. And yet the very reverse
of this fate is in your power. Under*
the present policy the next genera- j
tion of Southern people will become
the poorest, the most powerless and
the most contemptible of earth's in- j
habitants, while under a wise policy
tKo nort feneration of Southern
v,lv e (
people may become the richest, the
most powerful and the most respected
of people. Which destiny <
will we choose ? '
But you 09k how can this better <
destiny be secured ? I will tell you. (
First?Make cotton your surplus 1
crop ! In these five words lie the 1
Samson locks of your future power. 1
Make your own fertilizers by rest-1'
ing,fgrassing and manuring yourj.'
lands. Thus you become independent I
of the guano merchants Raise''
your own provisions. Thus you'<
become independent of the pro- 1
vision merchants. Your cheapest 1
and safest line of transportation '
runs from your own fields and hog j
pens to your own barns and meat 1
Louses. With no debts for your ]
supplies you will need no accomtno- '
dation credits at two per cent, per 1
month. Thu9 you become independent
of brokers, cotton factors and
lien merchants. You can then sell
your cotton at your own time to
your own chosen buyers, and will
get your own money. None of these
things can a cotton planter do who
plants on credit, and borrows money
to buy'his provisions. But you say ;
the Western States raise provisions j
so much cheaper, we can make
more money by raising cotton and
buying from them. This is the teach-;
ing of figures, and a greater lie
never was taught.
Now I affirm it is cheaper for you
to raise your own provisions than
to have them brought from the West
and given to you at the nearest depot
free of cost and charges. How
is this ? In the first place, if we rai"c
five millions bales of cotton we will
get no more money for them than
we- would get for one-half that
number. Then out of the same
amount realized you pay for raising!
the five millions just double the cost
of production. Half the labor and
supplies employed in raising five
million bales of cotton could be
employed in raising supplies without.
reducing the value of the cotton
' " 1 .1 I 1 _ '
crop one dollar. Jiuc nan ims iauor
would raise more than you needed
for supplies. You could employ
much of it also in enriching your
lands and improving your property
in many ways. Then you would couie
to the end of the year with your crib
full of corn, your smokehouse full
of meat, your families full of smiles,
yourselves full of independence, and
your pockets full of money for in- j
vestments. And how would you
invest it? In cotton factories on ;
the waterfalls which God has sent.
all through your country to run
spindles. This would make you in" j
dependent of Old and New England
both. Then, also, you would mine
your farming implements of industry,
which would make you independent
of Pennsylvania foundries and Massachusetts
workshops. In a word,
every improvement would be built
. 1 _1l .L -
up in your own country, aim an mc
profits of those improvements would
go into your own pockets.
Go on as you are now going, mak-'
ing cotton your chief crop, and
slavery is the doom of your children
and your children's children for-evcr.
A people who depend on j
other people for food and clothing
are and must be slaves.
Farmers Boys.
For farmers, the country wants
the most energetic, thoroughgoing
and wide awake boys that can be
found. Hence, if a boy is blessed 1
with that crowning concomitant
which moves the world?brains?
let him become a farmer. Brains
constitute tbe great desideratum in ;
agricultural science at the present
day. Fifty years ago muscle was the
essential requisite. Fifty years ago
a fanner was expected to perform
every manual labor of the furm by
tbe exercise of muscular force,!
while at the present day he needs
brains more than muscle to enable ;
liim In mnnnirn lnhnr.Qn.vinir tools !

and implements with skill and ,
efficiency. When the labors of the j
farm were nearly all performed by
the laborious and fatiguing application
of human force, farming was
irksome and drudgery. ut now,
when teams and steam p wer resound
to the bidding of the tiller of
the soil, agriculture is the most agreeable
pursuit one can desire. True,
at some seasons of the year farmers 1
are required to labor early and for,
several days. Then, again, perhaps
for wbfcks ihb'y will hUV'c e'aSy limbs.;
Chinese iVheat Fields.
Many readers will be surprised at
lie following a'sertions in the jV. Y.
Bulletin in regard to wheat fields in
China:
"Some of the Chinamen who have
been forced to return to their native
country, learned while here to pre"
for wheat to rice as the staple nrliclc
of food, and have for some
time paid considerable attention to
its cultivation. It is now said that
their home production is increasing
;o rapidly, that there will soon he a
surplus for export- So careful and
close is Chinese agriculture, that the
wheat never yields less than forty
bushels to the acre, anil 2") cents a
bushel pays weli. Some authorities
have figured out that China has ten
times the available area for wheat
culture that the Pacific Stales pos- 1
scsscs, and that the labor costs but j
i quarter as much. Some, but probibly
groundless, fears have been ex-1
Dressed that China may become the |
formidable competitor of California '
Cure for Hon Cholera*
Being a physician, I studied i
carefully the nature of the disease,,
irid caine to t!ie conclusion that calcmel
possessed all the properties requisite
to meet the disease ia all its
forms. My mode of using it is t<
to take about ten grains to each hog,,
md mix it in a little chop feed or
oran, and give it whenever you find
pour hogs begin to cough, and re- I
peat this every day for a week, and
iiid at any time when you find them !
coughing, you can give one dose as
ibovc. If your hog is past eating,
catch it and give it twenty grains by |
making it into a pill with a little
flour, and, by means of a stick, put
it down the swallow, and you need
pay no more attention to it. I pre
sent this as a perfect cure, and re-:
commend all hog raisers to give it a !
fair and impartial trial.

that the following is a good bunion i
remedy: Use pulverized 'saltpetre I
