A Word of Caution.
Winter is relaxing its grasp on the
Lh?the days aro rapidly lengthening
?the sun, rising higher and higher above
the southern horizon, is pouring down
his beams more vertically on the sleeping
earth, which, as the swelling buds and
opening flowers thow, is about to awako
from its wintry* sleep and clothe it
self again in the beautiful garments ot
spring. How touching this annual re
surrection of plai.ts?bow stimulative of
hopes?how suggestive of faith! Uncon
sciously we catch its inspiration?past
fa?';,blasted hopes, arc all forgotton,
and the jright dawn of the year quickly
.unfolds and expands to our enraptured
vission, into golden and fleecy harvests.
Buoyant and elastic the farmer begins
his work. Daily we sec.
-"him at the peep of dawn,
Brushing with hasty (stops the dews away,
To meet the huh upon the upland lawn."
The freshly plowed, clean and smooth
surface of the earth ocliglits his eye.
Even the poor, worn old field, from which
perchance, the pound of pho phoric acid
or ammonia hns been extracted, still well
moistened with the rains of winter, looks
rich and fat, and temps him with a pro
mise it can ne'er fulfill. Ah, these beau
tiful visions of spring! Often have we
luxuriated in them?neither would we
uqw rudely dispel them?it is well they
pass before us. Though never realized
perhaps, they accomplished an important
work iu in human life?cheering and
sustaining and stiengthening the soul
when perchance it passes under the clouds
of disappointment nnd failure.?We
would, however, fill out the picture, by
placing beneath the roseate sky, the solid
earth, with its rugged rocks?wo would
caution our readers against too sanguine
expectations. Now that the crop is to be
"pitched," . judge soberly. How often
.does the farmer make his calculations
thus: so many acres in cotton, so many
, bales? so ninny hales at so much per
pound] so many dollars?pay of hands,
&c., &c, so much?cost of corn, forage,
meat, &c, for next year, so much?lea
ving'a ver^ handsom "balance in hi?'pock
et. The end of the year comes ?drought
caterpillar, &c, have brought down the
estimated number of bales one half?
large crops of cotton in other parts of the
world bring down prices much below his
figures?corn and meat have advanced in
price, and finially, an empty pocket and
an unpaid factor's bill, stares him iu the
face. We submit, is the picture overdrawn
or its occurrence rare? Will our renders
therefore pardon us if, in all earnestness,
we urge them not to venture all upon
the uncertainties of a cotton crop alone;
but to devide the risks between cotton,
corn, oats, sugarcane, rye, barley wheat,
clover nnd the grasses.?Southern Culti
vator.
Cow Food, its Preparation, &c.
EDITORS SOUTIIKUN CULTIVATOR:'?A
good "savings bank" for all, may be
found at home, and if invested iu as
hereinafter described, will pay sure. To
make the story short and plain, 1 shall
merely give the process as now in prac
tice by one I wot of. A good cow of
.common stock, with a calf ten months
old had so diminished in her daily yield
of milk, by lstof Deoenuler lust, (without
feed) ns to give only about '2 quarts or
less per day.
About that time feeding begun, the
manor whereof, with the preparation of
the same, is as follows: A common cotton
basket lull of pea hulls, are thrown into a
large bin; upon this is thrown nn arm
full of shucks, and one bundle of fodder
both finely cut on a straw culler; upon
this is thrown a peck of wheat brnn.
This is stirred, and sprinkled with salted
water alternately, until ihe w hole mass is
thoroughly mixed and moistened, when it
is packed and weighted down. This is
done in the morning, and is the next
day's allowance. By night, it is in good
case. Now after toil king, two thirds of
this is given the. cow, und the remaining
third in the morning, after milking.
Besides this, she has all the kitchen slops
an arm full of cabbage leaves at noon;
und iu the c veiling three buckets of fresh
water. This cow kept' irk the lot' all the
time, with shelter from the rain?is milk>
ed, as proviotifely Btated, twice'a day-and
now fields three gallons of milk per day
which for richness, cannot bo surpassed,
and this at a cost of only twenty cents per
day!?the barn being the only article
used which costs money, and 20 cents is
a liberal allowance for that. Bich milk
in winter is certainly worth 50 cents per
gallon, and if ro, hero is a clear profit of
one dollar and thirty cents per day on one
cowl Of cour&e-labor is not counted, as
??In the sweat of thy brow," &c. The cow
alluded to cost thirty dollars, aud I may
say the owner deems the investment a
sate one nt least.
Often do we see heaps of pea hulls and
banks rf shucks thrown ont to rot1?a
nuisance where they lie, and a reproach
to the master of tho premises. Better
save them and invest in the cow "saving
bank!"

SuLi'iiER for Gapes in Poultry,
?M. H, W. Lnmnr writes to the Tribune
that when he was a boy, and big brick
ovens worein use in the South, every
morning when the biscuit for breakfast
were taken out and the oven yet hot,
Sally made up n pone of corn meal (un
sifted) bread, with a heaping tablcspoon
ful of pulverized sulpbcr to the quart of
meal, mixed with water and nothing else
and this was fed to tho chickens and
turkeys morning and evening, and I
never knew one dozen chickens lost with
gapes, as it is known that sulpbcr is dcrth
to parasitical worms. The young turkeys
had a pill of ground black peper given
each morning when they appeared droop
in<r, until again lively. These pills nre
easily made by adding enough flour to
cause adhesion.
Tiik Early Kobe?Editors Southern
Cvltivator:?As the time for planting
Irish potatoes is near at hand, your rea
ders, no doubt, would liko the experience
of others iu regards to the Early Rose.
Last spring I plowed my ground deep,
open the rows with a small shovel plow,
then droped my potatoes, viz, three kinds:
Early ltose, Early Goodrich, and Pink
eye, and put a small handful of cotton
seed by the side of each hill. I then
covered with a turning plow about three
inches deep. As soon as large enough I
dug from each variety, and found the
Early Rose cerlasnly ten days earlier
than the Goodrich, and the Goodrich one
week earlier than the Pinkeye. The
Pinkeye I think worthless to cultivate.
The Early Rose was cut to a single eye,
while tho other varieties were planted
whole.
Respectfully, L. W. HAMILTON.
