Prepare now for diversified
Productions in 1870.
Bear in mind that if one crop
does not “hit” some other will.
Bear in mind that it is not true
that “nothing but cotton will
bring money.”
Bear in mind that pork, beef,
mutton and poultry will bring
money at some price, and that
that is all that can be said for old
King Cotton. If you have plenty
ol wheat, corn and grass you can
raise money out of some of them.
But don’t forget that broom corn,
sorghum, potatoes, goobers,
onions, castor beans, apples and
peaches grow luxuriantly in this
country.
But, better than raising any of
these is sheep husbandry and
combined with these other indus
tries will certainly bring de
sirenble results. If the larmers
of Pope should become forgetful
and neglect to save any cotton
seed this year, and bestow all
their labor on other crops, very
few would lose a dollar thereby.
At all events let us prepare
now for flivaraitv of crons npvt
year. T.
A Successful Farmer.
We have a German farmer in
this neighborhood, who sets us
all a good example. He com
menced life as a hired man. He
has now one of the best farms in
the town and is adding acre to
acre. Whatever he does he does
well. He never seems to be in a
a hurry. But he commences to
plow in the Spring before some of
us begin to think about getting
the plows read}', and he has ten
or twenty acres of barley sown be
fore some eff us have plowed a
furrow. He is always ahead; ev
erything is in its place; every
thing in good repair and ready for
use at a moments notice. His
land is getting cleaner every year
—and I was going to say richer,
but I am not so sure on this lat
ter point. I have sometimes
thought that he was running his
land rather hard. But there is
certainly no diminution in the
crops. His farm would sell for
50 per cent, more than ho paid for
it, while the other farms have not
increased in value. The secret
of success, in his case, is tlrst in
the man himself—in his industry,
sobriety, and good judgment.
And in the next place I think it
is due principally to the fact that
he plows early, and plows late and
plows well, and plows often; and
he uses the harrow and the roller
until his soil is mellow and in
good order for the seed. Then
he cultivates his corn and pota
toes and beans, the moment he
can see the rows, and he suffers
not a weed to grow and go to
seed. I ought to add that he has
five energetic sons to help him,
and while he hires little or no la
bor, there is a large amount of
work done on the farm. In fact
say what you will, there is, never
has been, and never will be, good
farming without the expenditure
of considerable labor. “I have
always employed a good many
men,’’ said John Johnson, and all
really successful fanners, I think,
would be obliged to say the same

Agriculturist.
A good looking farm will sell
quicker and at a better price than
a bad looking farm. Ornamental
trees, vines, shrubs and fences
may not yield any money to the
owner while he has them in his
possession, but they will bring
many times their cost when the
farm comes into market. In the
early days of Chicago, a gentle
man planted many thousand ever
greens and other ornamental trees
on a large tract of land near the
city, which he intended for his
future home, lie never realized
his desire of living on it, and the
place was sold. It was put oil
the market at the same time an
adjointng place was which was
unimproved, and brought over
twice as much money.

Fall Eye for winter or spring
pasture, is a great saving of other
i feed, giving a wholesome change
to all kinds of stock. Who is
providing for winter and early
spring by sow ing it now?
I —#ubi»cjrlho for your county paper !
Fall Planting.
The question is often asked,
when is the best time, to plant
fruit trees? We answer, that upon
all soils suitable for an orchard,
the fall is the best time. The
fill is a season of comparative
leisure with the farmer, and am
ple time i*afforded him to pre
pare the ground thoroughly,
and to dig the holes of
large size, and to prepare the
work in the most perfect manner.
In the spring a thousand jobs are
pressing upon the farmer, all de
manding his immediate attention,
and the orchard is usually defer
red to the last, when every other
crop would suffer less by the delay.
If a tree is planted in the fall
the earth becomes firmly settled
around the roots before spring;
and if the weather should prove,
as it frequently does, warm in
February and March, young mots
will be formed, often three inches
long; and if the planting is delay
ed until spring, alter these mots
have pnt out they are broken off
and lost in the act of removal
from the nursery, and consequent
ly so much of the vital energy of
the tree is lost In the effort of
nature to repair the injury.
If planting is delayed until
spring, it is almost always put off
until a late period after the buds
have considerably swelled and
many of the flbroulf'roots have put
out; these theu become dried and
1 many of them are lost, and from
the dry weather tha^ frequently
i follows, cause the death of thous
■ and3 of trees.
In fall planting, if the soil is
1 1 L . . 1 J t. -
UIJ HUU |«»l UUB, lb 9UIMIIU uv.,
the ground at the root may be left
level; but if the subsoil is of a wet,
retentive character, the earth
should be raised two or three
inches around the trunk of the
tree, to the full diameter of the
hole, in order to turn the excess
of water from the roots.
Trees should not be removed
from tne nursery until sufficient
frost has occurred to entirely sus
pend vegetation and the leaves
have mostl}' fallen.
Watch or Waste.
Too many farmers do not watch
the points of vital interest refer
red to so forcibly by the Citizen
in the following:
It would add to the profit and
comfort of fanning if the proprie
tor would, as far as practicable,
do the chores himself. The feed
ing of the stock, though a very im
portant dnty, is left to those who
feel no interest in it, and the con
sequence is, waste, neglect and
irregularity—poor stock and emp
ty garners. Repairs.of gates and
liars and doors put off for a few
days, result in total destruction,
followed by Costly renewal.
There arc many things about the
farm and household which demand
the careful supervision of the
owner. Among these the most
important are feeding, salting,
housing and counting the stock.
The lazy proprietor who intrusts
these duties to hirelings rarely
prospers, and takes no pains to
ascertain the causes of what he
calls bad luck. Luck plays no
part in the affairs of men. Good
luck is the result of good judg
ment and industry—the absence
of these is designated by the
name ol bad luck.
There are many curious facts
about vegetable life. We can,
for example, graft the apricot on
the plum, and the peach on the
apricot, and the almond on the
peach, and thus we may produce
a tree with plum roots and almond
leaves. The wood, however, of
tne stem, will consist of four dis
tinct varieties, though formed
from one continuous layer. Be
low the almond wood and bark
we shall have perfect peach wood
and bark, then perfect apricot
wood and bark, and the bottom
plum wood and bark. In this
curious instance wc see the inti
mate correspondence between the
bark and the leaf, for if we should
remove the almond branches we
might cause the several sorts of
wood to develop buds and leafy
twigs, each of its own kind. Each
section of the compound stem has
its seat of life in the cambium
layer, and the cambium of each
reproduces cells of its own species
out of a common nutrient fluid.—

Sow Wheat.
Prof. Tice, the man who fore
tells storms and changes of weath
er, and so far pretty correctly,
predicts cold weather In Novem
ber, and wc would suggest to our
farmers the propriety of putting
in their wheat early for tne next
crop, so it may get well rooted be
fore cold weather sets in. Besides,
we will say to the farmers to be
sure to prepare the ground well
before sowing. We want to see
another large crop of wheat the
next season, and if our farmers
will use proper diligence, and
profit by past experience, we will
have a good crop.— Fort Smith

White May ami the Rappahan
nock are specially recommended.

Cheering Prospects.
From the Spirit or ArkanM*,]
Since the last issue of the Spirit,
we have been favored with visits
from excursion parties from Illi
nois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and
other States, looking for lands
with tire intention of investment,
and before this number reaches
our readers, our State will be hon
ored with a visit from about two
hundred Northern editors, repre
senting every phase of r/cligious
and political feeling. These gen
tlemen come upon an invitation
extended by lion. J. M. Lough
borough and the proprietors of
this pa|>er, and will spend about
one week enjoying the hospitali
ties of our citizeus, and posting
themselves upon our condition
and the wonderful resources of
our State.
Let us congratulate ourselves
that the era of ignorance is pass
ing away, and the dark clouds of
doubt and detraction are being
dispelled, as the beople of the
North come to know us better,
and see us as we are. The bene
fits to accrue from this editorial
excursion are beyond calculation.
These gentlemen speak to millions
of readers every week, and their
impressions of our State will be
read and believed, which will be
the important thing with us. The
bad reputation Arkansas has had
abroad, and the want of proper
communication with our sister
States, has kept this State almost
a terra incognita. The reports
published by our home papers
have been discredited, and “sus
picion poisoning his brother’s
cup” has made our Northern
UIVWMVU 9 ii IIII U9. X UCJ UUIUgUl
us a land of bowie knife and re
volver desperadoes, and while
there has been a numerous class
of that kind of men in Arkansas,
like every other new State, we are
now able to sav that they no long
er prevail, and are being driven
to more remote regions, where
they find a better field to ply their
vocation.
Let the most cordial and gener
ous hospitality be extended to
these guests, and every avenue of
information possible opened up to
their use. Within the last year
manj' Northern men have pur
chased farms, and become perma
n lit and valuable citizens of the
State. We ought to have half a
million more such, and then we
would not be crowded.

Real Ratate Act
RUSSELLVILLE, Pori (JO,, ARK,
Will attend promptly to all business en
trusted to his care. In connection with the
practice of law be has established a
Real—Estate—Agency,
in Pope and the adjoining counties, and to
those who wish either to sell or purchase
lands in Pope. Johnson, Yell or Conway
Counties 7»«»i rind that I am prepared to of
fer •nur.ceinenu never offered before by
aov •'.ner agency.
'fiiese Counties are situated in the heart
of the
Coal-&-lron-Region
of the State. Coal of the finest quality
abounds in large quantities in each of
them, especially in Pope and Johnson,
where mining is now iu successful and
highlv remunerative operation.
They also possess fanning lands unsur
passed by any other counties iu the State,
and will compare favorably with any othe
states in the Union, for fertility of soil and
salubrity of climate.
There are iu these counties a large
amount of
Valuable—Timber,
principally oak, cottonwood, walnut, cher
ry. hickory, gum, sycamore, maple, ash and
pine.
The range is most superior, and very fine
for stock raising. Clover, timothy and
herdsgrass grow well on the low lands.
The counties are well situated for the con
venience of transportation, as they bonier
on the Arkansas river, and the Little Rock
ami Fort Smith Railway passes through
Conway, Pope and Johnson, which is com
Ozark in Franklin county.
The population of these counties is abon
as follows:—Pope 10.000; Conway 0,000; Yell
13.500. .Johnson 10.000. They also possess
good educational facilities'in the way of
numerous
Schools—&—Academies.
The various Christian denominations are
well represented, and there arc also numer
ous lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows and
Good Templars, all in an active and flour
ishing condition. There is also a live, wide
awake grange in almost every township.
Parties wishing to purchase lands thro’
this agency, will place in this oiliee a dis
cretion of the kind and character of the
laud wanted, also the amount of money
they w ant to invest in lands.
Lands placed in the hands of this agency
for r ale, if the owner so desires, will be ad
vertised free until sold; then a reasonable
advertising fee, with ten per cent, for sell
ing will be retained. All further informa
tion will be given free upon application
with postage stamp to pay postage.
