Fertilizers.
From the Shelby. Banner.
We have heard of women selling their
last old dress to obtain with which to pur
chase opium and morphine. They were so
fond of opiates that they regarded it as
essential for them to have it from the
druggist.
We have seen men so wedded to the bot
tle after years oi intemperance that they
would not cease to be a devotee of Bacchus
if a large fortune were offered to them for a
life of sobriety.
We have seen our farmers buy yearly
guano at $50 to $G0 per ton for cotton culture
and we know that many, very many of them,
on every November when pay day comes,
swear annually that they will purchase not
one sack of guano next year, lint that next
year when they -purchase no fjuano, nevrr
comes.
They, like the opium eat-r sighing for
the dreamy luxury of an opiate must have
a little guano to make their cotton crop.
The farmers, like the poor wretched drunk
ard longing for whiskey "to drown his
woes," must buy a ton of guano even if it
takes half his year's labor, to pay for the
fertilizer in November.
One firm in Shelby sold this year 250
tons (31 car loads) guano to Cleaveland
farmers. About 500 tons fertilizers were
sold in Cleaveland county this year for cot
ton culture. Estimating the guano at
$45 per ton as an average price, Cleaveland
expends $22,500 annually for cotton fertili
zers. This may appear a large sum yet it
is small when compared with other places
that use guano. We ask is this a judicious,
lucrative investment? Does it pay our
farmers ?
There is not a county in any Southern
State after ten year's constant use of fertili
zers that is not now poorer than - the day it
first began to buy guano. Mortgage sales
of plantations and crops tell us that guano
does not pay, and. sad experience teach us
the same lesson.
IThe above article is worthy of the serious con
sideration of farmers.
Work Animals.
Not a few persons think, or act, as if they
think that horses and mules, when they are
not employed, need very little food and no
attention. This is a strange, delusion. If
these animals, when not at work, were fur
nished with a good pasture, then they would
not require food ; but if they are confined
in the stable or lot, they require to be fed
and watered just as punctually as if en
gaged at work.. Does a man neither eat
nor drink when he is not laboring ? If such
were the case, provisions of all kinds would
be plenty and fabulously cheap. Experience
proves that during the winter months, it
takes more food to keep stock in good con
dition than it does during the summer.
The reason of this is easily given. In severe
cold weather, a large amount of the food
which the animal eats is consumed in keep
ing up the animal heat. This is the reason
that it is hard to fatten a poor animal in the
winter, and it is also the reason that a poor
animal cannot stand cold.' It is not hard
work that causes some people's horses and
mules to be so poor. Whenever you see a
man's 'stock always in bad condition, you
may set it down that he is either a very
negligent man, or a very cruel man. He
may grow rich but he will never become
great or happy.
Protecting Manures.
A writer speaking on this subject sa-s:
"I have observed and others have ob
served the same a terrible negligence in
regard to manures. In a large proportion
of cases the cow houses are so arranged that
the excrements must be thrown out under
the eaves. Here, exposed to all weather, it
undergoes the various processes of drench
ing and drying, freezing and thawing until
much, if not most, that is valuable is lost
by evaporation, or is carried off to nourish
the growth of noxious'weeds. Thus, a sub
stance which might be changed to ingots of
gold is allowed to run to waste or become a
nuisance, instead of a blessing. To remedy
the evil, care must be taken to protect man
ures from the weather. Some other place
must be provided for the excrements of cat
tle than underneath the eaves. A shed of
Rome kind should be provided for this pur
pose. Where but few cattle are kept an
enclosure of plank, and a roofing of the same,
or of old boards, bark or thatch, is far bet
ter than nothing. On dairy farms, an out
lay of one hundred dollars, should the re
quisite protection require it, would prove
more remunerative than if invested in bank,
railroad, or in additional neat stock."
Sheep on the Farm.
Sheep are undervalued by the mass of
land-holders as a means of keeping up the
fertility of the soil and putting money into
the pockets of the farmers. The moment
one begins to talk of sheep husbandry, the
listener or reader begins to look for wool
quotations, as if wool was all that yields
profit from sheep. One might as well look
for wheat quotations alone when there is
talk about the profit on farming.
Sheep on a farm yield both wool and mut
ton. They multiply with great rapidity.
They are the best of farm scavengers, clean
ing a field as no other class of animals will.
They give back to the farm more in propor
tion to what they take from it than any
other animals, and distribute it better with
a view to the future fertility of the soil.
Prove this. There is no need of proof to
those who have kept sheep, and know their
habits and the profits they yield. To prove
it to those who have not the experience, it
is necessary they should try the experiment
or accept the testimony ot an experienced
shepherd.
But the live stock of a farm should not,
necessarily be sheep exclusively. Cattle,
horses, swine, have their 'respective places
in the farm economy. How many of each
to keep is a question that locality, character
of markets, adaptation of soil, predisposition,
taste and skill of the husbandman must de
cide. Butone'thing ought not to be for
gotten that the more stock a man keeps on
his farm, the more grass and grain it ought
to, and, if properly managed, it will grow.
The rates of increase will correspond with
the business tact, technical and practical
knowledge and skill of the husbandman.
. Jhe.
Credit vs. Cash Baying.
The following contains many things
worthy of the careful consideration of every
man and woman in the land. It is, how
ever, defective. A cash nystem, to be hon
est and just, must be universal. There are
many men, in every community, just as im
portant to the welfare of that community,
as the merchant. No man fills a more use
ful position than the faithful school teacher.
It is unfair and unrighteous to pay the mer
chant cash for his goods, and keep the school
teacher out of his honestly earned money
until the end of the year. The same is true
respecting ministei a of the gospel and phy
sicians. As a rule, school teachers and
preachers are poor. They have no capital
but their brains. As civilizers, to say noth
ing more, they are of as much importance
as the man who sells calico. It is decidedly
right to pay the merchant cash for his goods;
but it is decidedly wrong to force the school
teacher and preacher to labor on the credit
system. With these additions, we com
mend the following :
"The practice of buying the necessary ar
ticles ol household use on credit, is fatal to
good economy. The housekeeper has al
ways to pay dearer when she does not pay
cash. Thetradef-man must have interest on
his moi.ey, for a man will never, in a busy
community, be willing, and is seld m able,
if he is willing, to forego it. To the ordi
nary cash price of the article he, therefore,
adds the interest which may accrue during
the time that credit is allowed. This, more
over, is not all ; there must be premium ex
acted by the dealer for the risk he runs in
trusting out his goods, to that class of more
or less dangerous customers who never pay
ready money. Even the most honestly dit
posed of these are often unsafe debtors ; for
they are generally imprudent enough to
anticipate their incomes and overrun them
in expenditure. The credit system, more
over, is a temptation to unnecessary pur
chases. There is a sort of check in the sight
and touch of the hard-earned money to the
disposition to dispose of it lightly. On the
other hand there Ls something in the facili-
t t . i .11
ly ot credit, removing as it does me dis
agreeable necessity of payment to the buyer
who can gratify his love of possession with
a momentary sense, at any rate, that its
gratification costs nothing. There is no
such cheap and cautious purchaser as cash."
NOTICE.
All who are owing us by Note, Mortgage or Ac
count, large or small, without exception, we politely
