THOS. J. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY MARCH 17, 1892. VOL. LVn. NO. IO. FARMING AS A BUSINESS Practical Suggestion on the Pos sibilities of a Two-Horse Farm. Southern Cultivator. At the Farmers' Convention held in Augusta, Ga., on the loth of February I was invited, by gentleman who is deeply ioterest ed in the agriculture of the State to write for the press a short arti cle on the possibilities of a two horse farm in Georgia. At first thought that seemed^to be an easy task, but after a little study the matter presents itself in 6uch magnitude and variety of phases as to make it almost impossible to treat the subject intelligently in very short space. I have there fore concluded to discuss it only as related to the capabilities of the ordinary two-horse farm and in methods as to such crops as are ^generally grown by the farmers of this section, and I shall write less for instruction to these already en gaged in farming here than for in formation to those who may desire to cast i*heir lot among us and en joy with us the munificent gifts of soil, and climate, which are un surpassed by any other country on the globe. In the beginning I shall lay down two or three propositions, and when they are admitted as true, for I shall not consume your valuable space in attempting to prove them, we will begin to con sider the subject in its practical bearings, and I shall confine my self to what has already been at tained on many farms and can be accomplished by every man of average enterprise and ability : 1st. For successful farming the farmer must either own the land or have a continual lease upon it. I confidently believe the terrible famine in Russia one year ago and again at the present time is the legitimate result of their system of farming. 2d. Thc first object of the farmer is to raise a comfortable living for himself and family. 3{l~HrD" ?"vf r>1-ijrinf io conf?n. ually to increase the value and productiveness of his soil. As the chemist must have his laboratory supplied with the nec essary arts and appliances of his profession if he wishes to conduct his researches in a satisfactory and profitable manner, so must the farmer be supplied with the tools and implements which are neces sary to the economic and success ful prosecution ^f his farm work. With tnese provided for, we are now ready for tlae apportionment of stock and land. A two-horse farm conducted on the intensive plan will require fifty acres of arable land of fairly good quality, exclusive of pastures and meadows. Of this, two acres should be set apart for kitchen garden and truck patch, which should at once be brought up to a high state of cultivation by very liberal manuring. The remaining forty-eight acres should be sub divided into four equal parts and a continuous system of four years rotation practiced upon it as fol lows : 12 acres oats, 12 acres corn and peas, and 24 acres cotton. In the rotation corn should always follow cotton, cotton follow cotton and oats, and oats follow corn. In addition to the above, peas should always be sown broadcast upon oat stubble just as soon as the oats are taken off; it would also be well if the cotton land was sown in rye at the last plowing of the cotton in July or August. The crops should receive an an nual minimum application of cot ton seed meal and acid phosphate am follows : Corn, 200 lbs per acre ; oats, 300 pounds per acre; cotton, 300 lbs per acre; peas in the corn, 100 lbs per acre ; peas after oats, 200 lbs per acre. Allowing 1,000 lbs per acre for the truck patch, this will give ns a total of 18,800 pounds, costing at present prices about $190. From this crop we may reasonably expect 15 bales of cotton, worth at present prices $660; 450 bushels of cotton seed, worth $135 ; 240 bushels of corn, worth $144; 480 bushels of oats, worth, $240; 72 bushels of peas, worth $43.20 ; 24 tons of pea vine hay, worth $288, or a^ total of $1,510.20. The cost of working this crop will depend upon the farmer. He and his sons can work it, or he can work it by hiring two hands at a cost of $200 and rations, and he and the two hands can do all the work required in making and gathering the crop. The foregoing estimate is rea sonable and moderate, and exam pies can be found of even gres in probably every county in State. I asked Major Ryals, Chatham county, how much cot' he thought he could make nm his system of truck farming, a his reply was, "probably five ba per acre." Of the two acres set apart a truck patch, one-half acre shoi be devoted to a kitchen gardi from which a generous supply wholesome vegetables iucludi small fruits with green corn i six months of the year, and a ni cabbage every day for more, th ton months of the year. Half ; acre should be given to sweet p tatoes from which 75 bushels ci be easily gathered, if planted Georgia yams, and double th quantity if planted in some of tl more prolific but less d?sirai varieties. The remaining ac mould be devoted to soiling ai ?own in a succession of crops, sue ts rye, barley, wheat, lucern killed corn, etc., and if made vei .ich will produce food sufficient 1 ?upply the two horses and a co vith one-half of their necessar .ations from May to Novembe Che cultivation of this crop wi equire less than two-thirds of th ime of the two horses kept upo he farm, and the farmer, if h ikes, can add five to ten acres i. .11 'orchard, in which he can plan ?eas and chufas for fattening hi wn pork, and some to sell. H au have peas ready to turn hi logs into by the first of August nd have them till Christmas. H eed only have for his motto, "D< lothing or do your best," and al hat I have portrayed can be easil] ccompiished. A pair of gooc nares can be used for cultivating be farm and from each of these i mle colt can be added to th? early revenue of the farm, which t three years old will cost not ex eeding $50 and will bring in the ?arket from $80 to $125. The farmer should also keep wo or three good cows ; these wil] upply his table with an abund ncerorr uei ?oiou? --?tr*w?-snur i^u t? ici j 'ith a surplus tor market, and lways at good prices. Under the ystem of farming here laid down he soil will not only maintain ita roductiveness, but supplemented y such manure as the former will e able to save, by judicious care nd diligence, will gradually ini rove in fertility and there will be , consequent improvement in rops. Such lands can now be .ought for $10 to $12 per acre, and , cordial welcome awaits every amily of good moral character. I clo not by any means contend hat this is the system best adapt (d to the capacity and tastes of ?very man. Some may prefer a ew acres in tobacco, or a portion >f this crop in broom com or in ?ugar cane for syrup making, in ieu of a part of the cotton crop, jome others may prefer dairying n some or all of it3 branches. To ;uch I know of no section that ?ffers greater advantages. Red ?lover, lucerne, timothy, red top >rchard and Texas blue grass, all lo remarkably well, and, with the exception of timothy, I have them ill growing on my farm to-day. This is the home ot the Ber nuda grass, which furnishes most ?xcellent grazing for seven months in the year, and yields from two to seven tons of excellent hay per icre. All of the small fruits do well hero. Peaches, apricots, plums, apples, pears, grapes, figs, all flourish in this section, and I have never known a failure of the Scuppemoog grape. Watermelone can be raised in abundance dur ing the whole summer, and canta loupes . for the first half of the summer. In fact all fruits do well except those especinlly in digenous to a tropical or very northern climate. Where else will you find a section so favored, with land so cheap, with climate unsur passed, with water as pure as the dews from heaven, with a people noble, generous, brave, and hospit able, with a country free from epi demics and infectuous diseases, with its forests and fields abound ing with small game, and its streams with fishes? It certainly needs only time for its people to adapt themselves to the new order of things, to become one of the most flourishing and prosperous countries under the sun. C. M. SANDERS. Penfield, Ga. To prevent the hardening of the subcutaneous tissues of the scalp and the obliteratian of the hair follicles, which cause baldness, use Hall's Hair Renewer Two Old-Time Love Letters. In an old book, dated 1820 there is says, the People's Companion, the following very curious love epistle. It affords an admirable play upon v/ords : "Madame-Most worthy of ad miration. After long considera tion and much meditation on the great repulation you possess in the nation, I have a strong inclination to become your relation. OL your approbation of this declaration, I shall make preparation to remove my situation to a more convenient station, to profess my admiration, and if such oblation is worthy of observation and can obtain com miseration it will be an aggrandi zation beyond all calculation of the joy and exaltation of yours. "SANS DISSIMULATION." The following is ,the still more curious answer. "Sir-I perused your oration with much deliberation at the great infatuation of your imagina tion to such veneration on so slight a foundation. But after examina tion and much serious contempla tion I supposed your animation was the fruit of recreation or had sprung from ostentation to display your education by an odd enumera tion, or rather multiplication, of words of the same termination, though of great variation in their respective signification. Now, without disputation, your laborious application in so tedious an Dccupation deserves commendation ind, thinking imitation a sufficient gratification, I am, without hesitation, yours, MARY MODERATION." Save Your Laud. i'orkville Enquirer. About three years ago, The Enquirer described the method idopted by Mr. W. S. Willkerson, )f Hickory Grove, to preserve his lands from the wasting action of ?vater after rains. It will be re membered by some of our readers that the lands in question were lescribed as quite rocky and very rpjnnB^r' -r --~~f?4? ;he idea of utilizing the rocks, vhich were in the way. of agricul tural implements, to build long lams across some of the depres jions in his fields. While ridding the fields of the rocks, he thought also to'check the waste of soil leached mt of his fields by the rains. The idea has worked to perfection, and Mr. Wilkerssn has reached that point where he is beginning to consider the rocks, once looked upon as a nuisance, as worth a great deal more even than the trouble of moving them from one place to another. In two or three instances the dams have reached a height of about four feet. On the lower sides of the dams, are the disappearing remains of the once deep gullies that had been fur rowed out by the unchecked fresh ets, and ?n the apper sides level with the top walls, are deep de posits of the richest sediment, which would have otherwise been carried off down the gully into the branch and thence to the creek and river. In the meantime Mr. Wilkerson continues to plaster the large field above the dams with stable manure, muck and other fertilizers, confident that there can be no appreciable waste, and in a few yours more the whole farm, which came into his pos session worn out and almost barren, promises to bo as fertile and productive even as the rich river bottoms only 8bout two mileB away. It may be hard and difficult for you to live within your means; but, if you are an honest man, you must do it. To spend more money than you make is to open the way to untold troubles, and to insure the fi?al rum of your re? putation and character. For no reason-not to gratify your own taste, nor lo please your family, nor help even a usefull charity, should you adopt a policy so fraught with evil consequences. After all, the people who are com pelled to practice the moBt rigid economy get as much good out of life as anybody else "Plain living and high thinking often go to gether." To be able to do without luxuries is better than to have them.-Nashville Advocate. In consequence of winter diet and lack of open air exercise, the whole physcial mechanism be comes impaired. Ayer's Saraparilla is the proper remedy, in the spring of the year, to strengthen thc appetite, iuvigorato the system and expel all impurities from the blood. First Families. Thc Idea If there is anything we pride, ourselves upon in this country, it is our first families. Every town has its first families, but their importance depends on their location. The first families in Boston, for instance, are very blue-blooded indeed, for some of them know who their grandfather was and boast of him,' They acknowledge that Springfield has first families, but allude to them as highly re spectable people, and the Spring field aristocrats in turn mention the first families of Sapville ai decent sort of country folks. You will see that first family is rather hard to determine. First families usually have a niggei and a coat of arms ; but they often object to a too diligent examination of the family tree as some times ancestors are found hanging to it, and the coat of arms turns out to be a coat with out arms, or what the vulgar second and third families call a vest. The same standard cf first family ism is not applfcable to all places. Mr. Beans, of Boston dated his family from 1620. when' his ancestor came over in May flower, the ancestor having been the ship's cook. Mr. Lardley, of Chicago, goes back to the medieval ages before the fire, and is not familiars with the name of his grandfather. Mr. Hufter of Denver is an aristocrat from way back and his father carried his ?fortune and family portraits into Denver in|r a wheelbarrow in the misty days of 1874. A knowledge of ono's grandsire can hardly be the standard, for old man Sloper in the poorhouse remembers distinctly that hie. grandfather died in the some; hotel. The fact that a man had anees-'] tor? farm to im ^-j_ histor them. We figure o family up. The bent way is to say you are one and go around blowing about it. Your neighbors will probably call you a fool for eight or ten years, and then end be believing you, when you are a first family in good standing. There's McGiggles, now. Hes a first family. McGiggles went to school with me, and wore pants with L. S. and bay windows on them, for his father carried tie hod and drank tod. I was sort of stuck up in those days and become book-keejer in a hardware store, while Mctiggle, drove a grocery wagon. He went into the business later for hmself and made slathers of monejin the barrel business. He gave up his barrels, joined the church,oarried a deacon's daughter, anc struck out to be a first family, an he got there with both feet. Mcuggles is high-toned now, but still e notices me sometimes and sa? I am a respectable hardworkinfman. I dont know that I WI ever go in for being a first faiily man, but perhaps I will if Idon't join the Kuights of L?or or the Anarchists. However; we've ft to have somebody for first fnilies; and McGiggles might as vii be one as any fellow, especial]as his boy T. Jefferson McGiggs is now at Harvard, and EdithtfcGiggles is going to Europe in .ne to study art The Billkmans ud to be blue bloods until the c map busted up on telephone stks.

Some really at man, like Mr. ward McAllisf should devote his time aod egieB to writing a book on this sect, and fix, once and for all, oe standard by which a man ay down in the tenth and elnth families can recognize ant homage to a first family the m te he sees one. By doing 1 he will earn the gratitude ofuimon, every day, red-blooded lencan citizens. si o: e< ol S tl ai ol V( m ti Pi *: m tl y< vt Ol Si F?

When a Georgia farmer found out that nis son John was sparking a certain farmer's daughter for a year or more without settling any question, he called him out behind the stack and said : "John, do you love Susan Tucker?" PI guess I do, dad." "And does she love you?" ] "That's what I duno, dad, and Fm afraid to ask her." "Well, you'd better throw out a few hints to-night and find out. It's no uso wearing out boot leather unless you are going to marry her." .That night at 10 o'clock John came home a wreck. His face was ??1 scratched up and his ear was bleeding, his hat gone and his back covered with mud. . "John, John ! what on earth is the matter with you?" exclaimed the man, laying down his paper. !' "Bin over to Tucker's," was the reply "And-and-and I threw but a few hints to Susan." "What kind o' hints?" "Why, I told her that I'd been hoofing it two miles four nights a week for the last two years to set up with her while she chewed jgnm and sung through her nose, and now I reckoned it was time fox her to brush her teeth and darn her stockings, cure the bile on her chin and tell the folks we're engaged." ; "And her father bounced you?" . "No, dad, no; there's where I am consoled. It took the whole family, including Susan, two hired men and three dogs, and then I wasn't more'n half licked. I guess we moved on 'em too soon, dad-I guess it was'nt quite time to throw out hints." The polite child is the latest in the juvenile world.
