THOUGHT4 FOB THE SONTH.
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

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-

soil than on a rich one. The loss in pro- 1 State authorities, and I trust that the Gen-
duce while your soil is being exhausted, is ! eral Assembly will express to this genii©-
enough to buy three such farms. 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 food saved in a
few yesrs would put up commodious build
ings. It also pays well to keep stock in
good flesh. They ] ay for food by growl h.
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.

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.

Lay off rows and put in say onc-liaif of the

uplands bo sure to give good distance—it is
better to err on the sido of too much than
too little.

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
