In our Inst, we began a discussion of “ Farm Economy.” and promised a con tinuance of it. bo subject at present tlc- inunda more earnest attention from South ern farmers. It is not the gross inepme, bat the net profits, that decides the ques tion of success or failure. A merchant may yell a large amount of goods, but if he buys at high prices, sells »t small profits, makes bad debts, pays high rents and clerk hire, he is pretty sure to fail. And so a farmer may make very large crops and yet clear no money, because they may cos. more than they sell fer. Few of our farm ers keep regular accounts of receipts and expenditures, and those who do not, fail to aeo clearly at the end of the year the mat ter of lass or gain; but nearly every one in a scries of years finds out whctbi-r he is any nearer getting out of debt, or whether he is increasing his property or not. Wu are compelled te believe tl.at, as a general rule, our farmer* have cleared little money since the war. Even tljo epp-i-onily | ar g e crops they have made, as inferred frpm the sice of the cotton c:op comp i el with ante bellum times, is deceptive, because whilst more cotton has been mtidc, that is more than offset by the fact that so much less corn, wheat and other food crops have been produced. Almost, our entire farming energy has been expended upon cotton— hence the apparent large crops. The South has not prospered since (he war. Why so? Is it because of exclusive cotton raising T Is it because her smoke houses, and corn cribs have been m the Test? New England and Old England hft*e had their graiueries very largely away from home, and yet have thriven. What ii the secret of our failure ? Wo ap prehend they are more than one. 1st. Speculative farming, immediately after the war—spending money lavishly on Stentied co'.ten crops, blindly expecting large yi*l U a>l h - : m-s, yr),ich were seldom • ized Tin iual l:ty . obtain credit of tu'e your-, 3,a- pretty wells' j pel ■ ;l- but .T*' (i'-l-is jnMrrv'l by it. -.till nmy like an •• >• hern faro , to.th tue ,; to il d. .-lit jucrcss -.l jiUi't of la ■ thing wui-. j sit' ■} people in lebl il ptny dopreciato, ut-Ut tie. or ii iuterost added on, yeqy atie* 4 r,■ -v. and grows with ocp< lerated velocily. 3d. The prejudicial effect« upon souu<l farm economy ot almost exclusive cott n Culture. These are: 1st. Employment of too much labor. 2d. Subjecting the laborer to the high rates exacted by the merchant for supplies, and tbua rendering lab ,r dearer. 3d. An alipost. complete abandon ment of proper rotation of craps. 1st. Employment of too much labor. Cot ton ie pre-eminently a labor-requiring crop —not only continuant labor throughout the whole year, but much more tu the area cultivated than mast ether crops—fropt two to three times the amount required by corn, and very many times that demanded by small grain and grasses. With extended cotton culture tho demand for labor was great, wages went up, and independence on the part of tho laborer ran high, but effici ency went down. The laborer instead of tho land-holder became master of thesitua- lion. Hence, extravagant rates were paid fer labor, and with a Urge amount em ployed on a cotton crop,, tjte loss was cor respondingly increased. Our first point then U that tho cotton crop should be re dact d to the smallest proportions compatir Me w tli its legitimate function, as a money or surplus crop. 2d. Failure to raise provision sufficient for tlie farm and the laborers on it, threw the latter into the clutches of the merchant, •vho exacted from him exhorbitant rates. Dear living drove the laborer to high wages, or rendered him dissatisfied with low—in other words, demoralized the la borer. Tho true policy of the farmer is tp take charge of the negro, who is incapable of taking care of himself, and reduce tho cost of his living to the lowest ri\te* He will thereby undoubtedly secure cheaper labor. If preferred, let il take the shape of his hands working a provision crop suf ficient for themselves ouisile of his own crop, but under the same regulations, and charge them reasonable rent of laud, teams and tools, in no oth;r way can they be so cheaply supplied with provisions. 3d. In no country is there *o ir.aikcd an absence of systematic rotatim of ciops as in the Cotton States. And nowhere could its~icHs«i>3ej)roduee more disastrous re sults, because <:lM!n ami protracted summer culture not only des'roys thii stock of hu mus in the soil, but renders it so terribly susceptive to washing away by rain. These two disadvantages are, so to speak, Revelling now to the questions asked in Iasi. Vi but to raised whnt to sell? whet to buy ? we answer, raise all the pro visions needed by the family, the seyyeuls and the stock, mid in this way r<<!iiue to a mintiimum what has to be bought. The purlicular provision crops which each should cultivate must be drternrneJ by soil and climate. The more varied they are, the less likelihood of failure'. Sell the surplus of the provision crops, as mu-h as practicable, after it has been converted into meat, <>r bu'ter, or live stock. Dy so doing, nearly all the feiti- li’ij'.g elements abstracted from the soil by the crops, may be retained in the manure pile. Sell ft uit r and vegetables wherever there is a demand for them. Cease to re gard cotton as tho only source of income. Valuable as it is, the people of the North live without cultivating il, so do those of Great Britain and of Continental Europe. So did your otvn ancestors, m these Snuthr ern States at one time. What to buy : Just as little of evecy thing needed a^s you possibly can. Economy should bs our motto for years to come. We are too poor to buy much of anything. Iron, salt, a few implements, end perhaps coffee, pretty well make up the list. Tea we pan make at home—sugar. al>.o. in a large portiou of the cotton States—syrup in abundance everywhere, butter and cheese in any quantity—cotton and woollen goods, horses and mules we can raise—plow stocks, axe handles, hoc helves, wagon hubs, spoke and felloes, grain cradles, snaths, our fath ers made them all, and we are no bettor, and nepj be no mere lie'p’ess than they. A tithe of a strietly surplus cotton crop ought to buy everythin}; needed on a farm, and the remaining nine-tenths pass to the account of accumulated profits. Hut we have dwelt long enough at present upon this subject, and must pass on tc ti'itkc a few suggestions about current work. Cleaning up, ditching and fencing arc still in order. No lime for those after crop work fairly begins. PKCrARINO COMPOSTS. If not previously done, snould be at once attended to. The best are made of stable manure, oottou seed and acid phosphate or dissolved bones. Proportion of ingredients vary with tjic crop and land to which it is to be applied. For cotton or medium land', 5 bushels each of manure and seed to UK) lbs. of .phosphate—on poorer lands, in- prease (be quantity of manure and seed, and decrease them on richer soils. Fer coru, 10 to 15 bushels of each to 100 lbs phosphate. Put down a layer of cotton peed, say two inches thick, scatter phos phate on this, then stable manure same thickness—cotton seed again, and so on. finishing off with a layer, of rich earth Wet the whole thoroughly as it is being put up. and tramp down very firmly to prevent overheating. Thrust a stick down in the mass at intervals, and If, after letting it rema : n ten minutes, it is feund uncomfort ably hot to the hand, make numerous holes With a stick or crowbar and pour in water freely to quench the heat. It is not neces <ary to protect from weather, but do not put under the caves of buildings A cotn- po.-t prepaired as above, way be usetl in four weeks i,f|cp it is put up—but 2 to 3 months is better. Tho same materials may also be used without composting, by scattering the col- t .» •••ed and stable mtiiiire in the drill, -m. i rvr,' !-■ the phosphate upon them. - Sis n**h two furrows i Ap-.l CO ITON I VSD. ) bed up now and re- i-t-t before planting, cr Gov.

Renters man the sense of the deep obligation under are no exception to this rule, if they rent for long enough periods. A great poi tioti is applicable to short periods: all of it | when the farm is in a high state of cul'iva- ' tion. It never pays to pasture any culti vate 1 crop. The objections are, cos* of cross-.encos. waste of produce, loss or idle ness of tiic soil, and damage to tiie soil by trumping pf stock. Land can be too dear to even have pastures of the grass-s . prac tice soiling instead, with other prodnets. Pasture grasses do not mature, waste and decay like eulfivated crops that arc gathered at the proper time Furthermore, the soil becomes compact and does not tramp so badly It pays well to protect stock from inclement weather.

The saving of food by inferior and scant feed is overbalanced by less of growth, stunted stock, and increase of feed requis ite to re-tore flesh or to fatten.

WASH INI) Ilf LANK. As this is one ilia greatest of evils on .. cotton farm, attention cann t be called too Often to modes ot preventing it On very steep hillsides nothing but well construeted ditches cun prevent it—but on moderate slopes, we suggest that lines of level be laid off at ordinary distances of hill-side ditches, and strips five to ten feet w : de along these Hues be sown in oats, vye, orchard grass and clover. No land ’..ill be lost, grid iliosc uiiculi ivat, d strips will quite effectually stop the washing, if care bo taken to lay off the cotton rows on a level. I'.itF.PAnivtJ ron coux. Op stifl soils byeak very deep—drougl t is the great enemy of corn on uplands, Lay off rows and put in say onc-liaif of the manqrc to be given the corn, and list on it—the remainder of manure apply ip a sid ing furrow ut first or second working, Oa uplands bo sure to give good distance—it is better to err on the sido of too much than too little. CLOVER AXn Oil ASSES May be seeded down this month, just tie Foon as the heavy freezes are over. If to be sown on small grain, run a light barrow over the land, and then sow seed ; if by themselves, break the land thoroughly and pulvcrije it by repeated harrow ings, and then smooth it with a “drag.” Hefore harrowing a; ply manure—for clover, barn yard p-.aiiurc is good. Ashes also, 30 husheL per acre. Acid phosphate, 200 to SCO lbs. per acre, will generally insure a stand. Ho.w 12 to 15 lbs. seed per acre. For gyajs tl;c same pyepaiation is required, but a nitrogenous manure is needed—barn yard manure, cotton seed meal, Peruvian guano or nitrate soda. TO!*-DRESSING SPBIXG GUAIN. If spring opens early and grain piakes a good start to grow, a top-dressing may be gi*t n it the last of the month- Tiie best for the purpose is nitrate soda, 75 to 100 }bs. per acre.
