AGRICULTURAL.
How to Develop our Agricultural Resources.
The agricultural resources of the South,
when rightly couriered, are truly wonder
ful Wiih' ii climate unsurpassed for its
geniality, and which admits of the planting
of some of the products of the country every
month in tbe year, and a soil of unequalled
fertility, she awaits hut to be made what
nature designed she should be, the finest
agricultural country in the world.
The consideiation of this subject neces
sarily involve that of the much discussed
"labor question," in so much, as it is mainly
by labor that our great agricultural resources
ure to be developed. To develop them fully,
is the great .work before us. To accomplish
this work successfully, we need an ample
hupply of the host improved agricultural
implements now in use. To use these imple
ment to. advantage, we require intelligent,
reliable labor labor superior both in qual
ity and -quantity to that obtained from our
ree4nen as they work at present.
JFrom whence is this labor to be obtained,
n a question which ever since the great
change ,in our industrial system, has been
discussed by some of the ablest writers of
,the country, but as yet, none, we believe,
ihave. reached. a solution of it. "Liebig," a
.contributor to Our Home Journal, in a series
,uf articles upon the subject, after pretty
clearly demonstrating the impracticability
if either Chinese or European skilled labor
for the South, auggests as a means of over
coming the difficulty experienced, since the
war, in obtaining the right kind of labor,
that those of our jieoplu engaged in agricul
tural pursuits, oil with their coats and take
Jiold of the plough handles themselves.
This, though it may not be a solution of the
question, approximates, we think, a little
,iierer,to oue than anything we have yet
.seen. So near in fact, as to touch the key
note to a holution of the vexed problem.
.Let each and all of tu who arc tillers of the
fioil, wit,h a hearty good will, lay hold of
,the plough handles, but at the same time,
instead of dispensing with the services of
Cutlee,M as we presume "Liebig" intended
we should, hold on to him, and make him,
by example as well as by precept, the kind
.ot laborer we need. Tula plan can be made
,t succeed, alter which the "labor question"
Avill have beep solved, as we will then have
h supply of reliable labor equal to the de
inand. Such is the magnitude of the work
.before us of developing our great agricul
tural resources, that vastly more labor is
required than can be afforded by our white
population, even though every white man
Xrotu the Potomac to the llio Grange were
to become a de facto tiller of the soil. To
.luake up the deficiency, the negro element
.ot our population is, unquestionably, the
,most available for the purpose. "Culfeo,"
as ho works al present, and'has worked since
,hd was made free, i with, perhaps, a few
.iceptional cases, far from being the right
kind of a laborer, . e., one who will accom
plish a good day's work, and at the same
time do it exactly as it should be done,
liven when working on the share system,
, he moves sluggishly, idles away his time,
tud what little he does is at best but poorly
.done. The bare presence of his employer
,or his agent has but littlu efT.-et upon him
lor the better. If, however, his employer,
instead of only directing him in his work,
would lead the way by laying hold of the
Loe or plough, as the ease may be, himself,
he would be a much more reliable and effi
.citrnt laborer. Meeting with a friend, just
jilter the war, we asked him what sort of a
crop he had. He replied that he had the
oesi crop he had for ten years. Upon our
expressing surprise at this, on account of
the unsatisfactory manner in which the
freedmeu were working, he added, with a
significant smile, "i work with my freodmen,
and the consequence is I get a great deal
more and better work out of them." We
.Jivtj had considerable experience in the
rnanagement ot ireedmen. Besides superin
tending them in their work in a sort of a
play gentleman way, we have worked side
by side with them, and cau add our testi
mony to his in favor of the plan. The effect
.of the example uf one white laborer upon a
giuig.of freedmeu, is uot very dissimilar to
that of a true pulling horse or mule upon a
baulky team. The- chief difficulty with
horses uot properly trained to pull, is in
getting them to start. With one well train
ed animal, however, to start the wagon,
team and all, they not only, as a general
.thiug, do their full share of the pulling after
the wagon is started, but if properly man
aged will soou get in tha way of helping to
start it themselves. We kuov too that
noldieri, a a general thing, fight much bet
ter wheu ld iu a charge by a commanding
ollicer, than when he remains iu the rear and
orders them to make it. The habit of the
gallant Hampton, iu Virginia, was, we are
told, always to lead his men into action in
stead of directing them to go auJ. do thus
ami so. This, doubtless, accounts in great
- . t .. I 111- . I & !!
measure tor ms urunaui aciitevemei-ts. I ne
good etl'ect to be produced by the employer
upon 1ns freedmeu by working with tiiem is
fur froni being the only advantage to be de
rived from the adoption of the plan. The
labor of himself and as many able bodi. d
sous as ho may be so fortunate as to have,
would cost only the wear and tear of a little
muscle, and would bo the best quality.
This is the kind of labor that tells so won
derfully upon Northern larma. There are,
doubtless, those who still regard labor upon
the farm as degrading. To all who thus
regard it, we would say that the idea is one
mi the olden time, and w as conceived iu error.
Agriculture, as has oft been asserted, is
the uoblest calling of man, and no kiud of
labor connected with it is either degrading
or dishonorable. Souu of the uoblest and
best men the world has ever seen, were at
times the tillers of the noil. The idea that
white man canuot, as u laborer, stand our
hot climate, Liebig" averts, has been ex
ploded. We can, from experience, bear him
out in the assertion. In ante belium times,
e were, perhaps, regarded by some as a
sort of fancy gentleman. Vo rode fancy
horses, wore kid gloves, fancy hats, boots
and clothes, kejt an umbrella stretched over
our devoted cranium when exposed to the
direct rays of the sun, and made love to the
prrtty girls in quite a sensational way. Now
we think we are about as near "all horse
and half alligator," as was ever old Davy
Crockett, and can, perhap, come about as
near 4'whipping our weight in wild cats,
riding on a strtak f lightning ..or jumping
13he
the Mississippi," as he ever did., and can do
as' much hard work in the hot sun as any
body else, regardless of "any previous con
dition of servitude, race or colon"
On another occasion we raay say some
thing in regard to what we consider the
most advantageous form of eontraet to make
with freedmeu. HILL-SIDE.
Death from Glanders. A glandered
horse owned bv Koswell C. Miner, of Steu
ben, X. V., in blowing his nostrils, threw a
drop of the poisonous matter into one of
Mr Miner's eyes. He immediately wiped
it out, as he supposed, but in a short time
(within twenty-four hours) his eye began
to pain him. Medical aid was procured
and his case pronounced by able physicians
a hopeless one; that the glanderous matter
had so permeated his system that he could
not recover. His tiesh turned purple and
was pronounced poisonous. He lingered in
asjony about twenty days before expiring.
His friends were compelled to bury him
early the next morning, and with him the
entire bed and bedding on which he had
lain. New York News.
