AGRICULTURAL.
Planters bo Cautious.
From the Reconstructed Farmer.
Be it remembered, that last Spring we
gave it as our eleciiled opinion, that cotton
would advance notwithstanding there was
over 4,000,000 bales raised. We then told
you the South to produce this large crop
spent so much in commercial fertilizers and
labor, that they were not able and had not
planted so largely, and consequently we ad
vised you not to sell your cotton if you
could hold it. Your situation is quite dif
ferent this season, because you have acted
wisely. You have corn, pork, forage, and
your short crop will bring you more money
than your large crop. If you will act the
prudent part, then you will be free free
from Yankee pork and grass; free from
twelve to fifteen per cent to factors for the
use of their money. To do this be ceitain
to plant a sufficiency of all tha cereals to
produce enough for your own consumption
and, some to spare, for depend upon it no
farmer or nation ot planters ever grew in
dependent who failed to produce a suffi
ciency of food and raiment. Let every one
of us plant no lands that are so poor that
wc cannot reasonably expect to harvest
enough to pay expenses on the cultivation
of them. Be certain to combine eaeli day
and week and month to a purpose of thrift.
To accomplish this you mast make nice
calculations. If your lands are rich, but
want of proper drainage, it is doubtful
whether you can succeed if it should be a
wet summer, then if you have not the time
or opportunity to drv them let them grow
up in weeds. If too poor, then let them go
to grass. Above all le cautious you do not
over do the business by planting too much
cotton because it is high. We can but hope
that cottondom has learned that a short
crop of cotton brings as much money as a
large crop to the farmer, and that it fills his
grauaries with that which makes men happy,
because they are not dependent.
Lot us plant just two-thirds of what we
now purpose tot-cod, and next Fall we will
house in good order and in due time, and
best of all get 25 cents per pound net.
Can any sensible man say it is not better
for the cotton States to produce 2,500,000
bales at 8100 per bale, when it would bring
more money than 4,000,000 bales would at
$60 per bale.
Now we do contend that every farmer
can see the utter folly in raising cotton at
15 cents per pound when they might plant
less, spend less, work less and realize more.
What sane farmer would toil to cultivate
three acres when he knew that he would ob
tain as much from two? We do contend
that experience for the past six years justi
fies us in saving that any set of sensible
men who will go contrary to reason and
common sense, deserves to suffer the conse
quences that must follow.
Manure in Ancient Times.
From tho Carolina Farmer.
Editor Carolina Firmer: Having heard
a farmer speak of the regular manuring of
land as a modern notion, i send to the Caro
lina Farmer for information of others who
may have the same mistaken idea, an ex
tract from Xenophon's dialogue on Good
Husbandry, written about four hundred
years before Christ. An intelligent man of
that age considered manuring essential to
successful farming.
To the inquiry of Socrates why some far
mers make money and others run in debt,
ihe Greek farmer replied: "It is not the
knowledge nor the ignorance of farmers
which makes some succeed and others un
successful. You won't hear a report circu
lating in this form, that the property has
gone to destruction because the sower did
not sow evenly, nor because he did not plant
his orchards nirjit, nor because somebody,
not knowing the soil that would support
grape vines, planted in a barren place, nor
because one did not know that it is good for
powed crops to work the land just before
hand, nor because one did not know that it
is. good to mix manure with the soil ; but it
is much more common to hear: ".V man is
not getting a crop of grain from his fields,
for he does not attend to having it sown for
him, or to having manure produced. The
difference between farmers is like that be
tween Generals who are equal in knowledge
but not in execution. So also all men say
or manure that it is tiie best think for farm
ing, and besides they see it produced by
nature, and yet while they are well aware
that it is produced, and that it is easy to
make it in quantity, some men attend to
having it collected and others are neglectful.
Water is furnished by the God above and
nil the low spots become ponds and the land
affords every kind ot vegetable matter, and
one who is going to sow has got to clean up
the land. Sow the stuff which is taken out
of one's way, if one would put that into the
water, time itself would thereupon create
the materials, with which the soil is grati
fied. For what kind of vegetable matter
and of earth lying in stagnant water does
not become manure V"
This dialogue of Xenophon's contrains a
great variety of suggestions as well on the
duties of a housewife, and the management
fjf servants, as on the planting ot trees and
the improvement of farms. E. I. B.
Chapel Hill, Dec, 1S71.
Curing Meats.
A correspondent of the Practical Farmer,
noted for having a superior quantity of dried
beef and hams, gives a recipe which he has
nsed for more than forty years without a
failure. It is as follows :
For every one hundred pounds of beef,
seven pounds of salt, two ounces of saltpeter,
otic and one-half pounds of brown sugar,
four gallons of water. Boil and skim, and
pour over the meat when cold. If properly
packed that amount of water will cover ihe
meat. For pork, pack the hams and shoul
ders together. To every one hundred pounds
take eight pounds of salt, four ounces salt
petre, one and one-half pounds of sugar, and
four gallons of water. The hams and beef
for drying may be taken out for four weeks.
To keep the meat after warm weather, the
pickle will have to be boiled.

Soluble Pacific Guano.
The successful use of this Guano iu the Cotton
States for sir years lia3 given it a stahJe character
for excellence which renders a lengthy advertise
ment unnecessary. Experience has shown that
under favorable conditions of season and culture,
the application of 200 pounds per acre, produces a
yield of Cotton from two to three times greater than
the unfertilized soil, while under no conditions can
it fail to compensate for the investment. An agency
which at so small an outlay so largely increases the
products of la'oor must prove an object of tiie highest
importance in Ihe cultivation of Cotton. Oa credit
sales note and security will be required.

ACID PHOSPHATE OF LIME,
For Composting with Cotton Seed.
PRICE REDUCED.
This article is prepared expressly for composting
with Cotton Seed. It supplies the seed with that, in
which they are deficient, and furnishes the planter
with a first class Fertilizer at the smallest cu,t.
200 pounds of this article, composted with an
equal weight of Cotton Seed, as directed by printed
Circulars, will fertilize an acre sufficiently to pro
duce an increase of crop, under favorable conditions
of season and culture, to double and treble the
natural product of ihe soil, while under no consider
ation can it fail to compensate for the cost. It is
alike applicable to Corn and other crops. This arti
cle has been m use for the past two years with the
most satisfactory results.

NOTICE TO FARMERS.
Your attention is invited to the ACID PHOS
PHATE, prepared by the Atlantic Phosphate Com
pany of Charleston, S. C, as a cheap and reliable
Fertilizer. A few tons of it were sold to ihe far
mers from this market last season, and the testimony
of some of them has been furnished as follows, viz":
Dr. D. W. Flow of Pioneer Milis, savs that he
composted this Acid Phosjhate according to in
structions, and applhd 4u0 pounds of the Compost
to the acre in the cotton drill, and that lie ha 1 a
good stand and fine growth of cotton, which, not
withstanding the severe drouth, gave such satisfac
tion as will induce him to use it on his next crop.
Says it should be composted as earl' as practicable
after Christmas.
Dr. J. M. Strong of Steel Creek, says that he used
this Acid Phosphate compost and the Cotton Food
Fertilizer and stable, manure in the same field, in
order to compare their merits, and that the Acid
Phosphate Compost made the best yield of the three.
He applied i0U pounds to the acre.
Major 5. Watson Reid of Steel Creek, savs he
used the Acid Phosphate Compost la-t season on
both Cotton and Corn, and it gave satisfaction on
both, that it doubled the yield of Corn.
Dr. I. W. Ilerron of Steel Creek, says tl a lie used
the Pacific Fertilizers, Kiawau No. 2, and the
Acid Phosphate Compost, and that tin yield
from the Acid Phosphate was decidedly the most
satisfactory. He expects to use it for hid next crop,
and desires to have it in compost heap assoja after
1st of January as practicable.
Other fanners who used this Acid Phosphate
com pouted as instructed, speak in lite terms of com
mendation of it. Besides proving itv-lf to be a first
class Fertilizer it is entitled to j our favorable con
sideration because it does not cost more than a
fourth as much as farmers have been paying for
commercial manures. Instruction for composting
will be furnished with thy Phosphate.
The Atlantic Phosphate Company also prepares a
Manipulated Fertilizer, fully up to "the standard, at
a greatly reduced price, Bcinx the A cent of the
j Company in Charlotte, I am prepared "to furnUh
i either in any quantities desired, and will be pleased
i receive vour orders. JOHN A.YOUNG

Effect of Alcohol and Tobacco. The
report of the British Factory Inspector con
tains a statement made by the certifying
surgeon at Bolton-Ic-Moors, that the "chil
dren of the mill population are year by
year getting smaller, and physically less
capable of doing their work, lie attributes
this partly to their, being the children of
intemperate parents, partly to their being
brought up on tea and cofTee, instead of
more substantial food, and partly to the
circumstances that many young children,
of about twelve years old, begin to smoke,

Crystal Discovery for the Hair.
Arthur Xaiian, Inventor and Proprietor, Wo-tiiinc-
ton, J). C. d
A perfectly clear preparation in one bottle, as
easily applied as water, for restoring Gray Hair to
its natural color and youthful appearance, to eradi
cate and prevent dandruff, to promote the growth of
the Hair and stop its falling out. It is entirely harm
less and perfectly free from any poisonous suhstance,
and will therefore take the place of all the dirty and
unpleasant preparations now in use. Numerous
testimonials have been sent us from many of our
most prominent citizens. In evervthing in which
the articles now in use are ol jectionabh-, Crvstal
Discovery is perfect. It is warranted to contain
neither Sugar of Lea l, Sulphur or Nitrate of Silver,
it does not soil the clothes r scalp, is airreeabty per
fumed and makes one of the best dressings for the
Hair in use. 1 1 restores t he color of the I la ir "more
perfect and uniformly than any other preparation,"
and always does so in from three to ten davs, vir
tually feeding the roots of the Hair with 'all the
nourishing qualities necessary to its growth and
healthy condition ; it restores the docaved and in
duces a new growth, of the Hair more positivcly
than anything else. The application of this wonder
ful discovery alo produces a pleasant and cooling
ifect on the" tcalp and gives the Hair a pleasing ap
pea ranee.
We call special attention to the fact that a limited
number of small trial bottles can be ha i bv those
wishing to try it. You will notice that in pursuing
this course our aim Is to convince by the actual
merits of the article.
