-i Agricultural Department. ir.JI KV4¥«*. ... E4U«r FORTY ACRES A5D A MULE, (continoed.) We left in oar lut the forty acre end • male men the happy poeaea* ■or ef three boodred and titty dol lar* (oa paper at least) iu money or money’s worth—provisions. We ny moceyV worth, beoaase the chief objeets in life are to make some thing to flil our stomachs or cover oar hecks, so that if we have some thing to eat we do not need much money. Let us now examine the different items that make op this ■am of money to see if we are jasti •ed in oar estimate. First as to cotton. We have pat that crop at a thousand pounds to the acre. We know that that is far more than average crops of the coun ty, bat not more or as mach as is made by a great many farmers on common pine land. Oar farm, naturally below the average fertili ty of the county makea it, aud more witk a much less expenditure for auuinre than we have recommend ed. That eetimate will give us 20, 000 pounds. Deduct one-tweutietb for toll for ginning, leaves 19,000; the yield of lint from that, at 31 per cent, tbe average tarn oat, will givewix thousand pounds—12 bales of 600 pounds each, or coanting in the bagging and ties, of 625 pounds each; that at eight cents will aoM>ant to $501.00 Bow easy it is to make this on faper yon will say, bat why if it can V done, the average of nar conuty should be ss low asit'ist Tbs answer is obvious. We are -either in the A B G of agricultural -knowledge and skill, or else do not Apply what we know. With this amount of cash for cotton and with all oar provisions except flour, sa-J gar aud coffee, made at home, with r -ao«xiteuditore except for them aud clothing, there will be a pretty good balance foi taxes, ebareb and edu cation, or to lay op for tbe fntare. COHN. The eetimate for corn is low wooagb, though it is above the av erage crop of tbe county. Our ex perience is that land that is man ured op to a thousand pounds of cotton will, if planted iu corn tbe next year, produce fifteen bushels without any additional manure. Tbe debris of the cotton crop with tbe manure not taken up by it will produce that certainly. The addi tional manuring ought to bring it np to twenty, aud add fifty dollars loAhe gross proceeds of the farm. * OATS. So also with tbe oat crop. Tbir t; bushels is a moderate estimate for that under tbe same couditions as tbe corn. Tbe estimated price may be regarded as high, but when yon bare it to buy, tbe freightage, railage, stealage and other ages, will bring tbe price up to a dollar PKA8. The estimate for the pea crop is reasonable enough; five bushels to tbe acre on tbe corn and oat laud is what is made constantly. So with potatoes, fodder and bay aud - tbs cotton seed—all moderate eeli- * mates. Tbe other products of tue farm which are generally consum ed by the family, we are net accus tomed to estimate as money crops, yet if they bad to be bought we would find them so Tbe garden, 4t planted one-half in vegetables and the other in bunch grapes, Straw berries and raspberries, would ?be worth double wbat we have put it at We could sell twenty-five dollars worth of vegetables sod fruit and have still enongh for good sized family. So also with tbe orchard, it is worth fifteen dollars as a bog pasture, and that is wbat it ought to be. In a small farm hogs ought to be kept iu the or ebardsad never allowed to go out of it They are the only certain preventive of tbe ravages of the worm, and at tbe same time by root ting cultivate the gronod and de stroy tbe weeds. The milk and batter necessary for a family are cheap at forty dol lars. ▲ oow is a very poor one that will not give milk enongh to make two pounds of batter a week and raiM a calf; tbe skimmed milk, if not conenmed by tbe family, it worth for bog food fifteen or twen ty dollars n year and toons who lovesdabber and battermilk, a good deal more. The one acre of Bermuda will hasp the oow from April to No- ramber, and the other note in win ter pastare, followed by peas for hay will feed her the balance of the year. The grass pastare oagbt also to feed the male daring the time it la not working, but to do this it will have to bs manured every year. The beat manors for it will be the cow horse-lot, hauled on la and harrowed. TMb will perhaps be the best use tor your stable manure, as yon will avoid spreading tbe Ber muda over tbe balance of tbe farm. It sometiu.es passes through tbe stomach of the animal without los ing its vitality, and when it once gets hold oo your cultivated land is hard to get rid of. Tbe poultry, chickens and turkeys, and pork, if sold instead of being eaten, would bring more than we have pat them at. We see then that by this eeti mate, a comfortable support for an average family can be bad from forty acres and a male. Tbat-eac- cess in farming does not depend upon tbe quantity of land we run over bat upon tbe proper cultiva tion of a few acres, and it were for tunate for us and tbe country it we were limited to a few acres. An honest, bard working, God fearing nation of snfhll f&nners is wbat we want iu this country and not a sys tem of landlord and tenant to which we are fast drilling. Let as now examine tbe point whether cotton can be made at eight cents. The part of the expen diture on tbe farm properly charge able to the cotton crop is $400, and the receipts of the same $564, leav ing a balance ot 9164 if sold at eight cents, or $8.20 an acre, or not counting the seed but only the lint, $5.20 an acre. Or if we estimate that the 6,000 pounds of lint costs as $400, that will make the cost ot each pound 6| cents and tbe profit li cents a pound. This is but a small affair you perhaps would say, but it shows tbat tbe common no tion that we are planting cotton at s loss every year, if true, should nut be so and tbat tbe tault is in our selves. We do not pretend to say that any one can buy a small tract of land, famish it properly for work, and pay for in one or two years. The time has passed for that, but with a small capital to start with, or wjth sufficient credit to get ’iroe to pay for it, one Cfii buy and work it out with cotton even at eight cents. It will require work, and work with knowledge, untiring and dose economy, but it can be done. The second year you will start with your provisions, horse and cow food and part of your manure in ti e cotton seed. You need not buy so mnchcoUon seed meal, though vre I think that the same amount in ad dition to the cotton seed will raise your production to 1,200 or 1,500 pounds of cottou, twenty bushels of corn and forty bushels of oats. Wbeu you reach that point you are in a fair road to a fortune, made by honest hard work. second bottle she was entirely well.
