Fs-rsatsMT CtaMn at the stoat h.
Recently I Lave received letters
from farmers of the Northwest mak
ing inquires about Southern farms.
Those letters have been prompted bj
articles published in your paper,
written bj myself. They say that
the winters are too long and evere,
and they are for sei'king' homes in a
more temperate climate. They are
right, for they can find in the South
any quantity of lands, producing
every variety of crops. All that can
be grown 'orth grows luxuriantly
South, and a variety of other crops
that cannot be grown North. An
opinion prevails with many ac the
North that the South is oulv adapted
for growing of cotton, rice and sugar ;
that grain, root crops, and grasses do
not do well. A greater error never
prevailed, and in time the South will
be known as a fine stocc country, and
a country of diversified agriculture
and pursuits. Y e say to all est,
who find it too cold," come to the
Sunny South, where you can plow all
winter, and stock is easily and cheaply
wintered. Tbe average of our win
ters here for a. term, is 40 that of
summer 84. A colony from Cleve
land, Ohio, that are settling South
Lowell in North Alabama, to embark
in manufacturing and farming, will
soon show what the South is capable
of making. They have inexhausti
ble beds of iron, coal, limestone, and
the best of water power, which will
be made a source of great wealth.
Your correspondent, D. F. J. of 111.
talks right in his letter on page 772,
when he says, ' What can be grown
in warm, dry countries." In Georgia
farms have yielded, after properly
preparing the land for wheat, over
fifty bushels to the acre. The small
yields made have not been owing to
the climate or land, but to the
wretched management
1 will state bow nine-tentns sow
wheat at the South, aud when your
Northern farmers read it, they wll
only wonder how we raise any wheat
with your farmers it will not pay
as well as I presume. Wheat is
sown after corn, or on stalk land, as
it is called. In the first place, the
corn is not gathered until October ;
the stalks are left as they grew, and
the ground is generally covered with
a heavy crop of grass. Cattle are
then turned in to eat as much grass
and pickings as possible, and to make
the ground plow more readily. In
November the ca'tle are turned off,
and wheat sowing commences, by
sowing tbe seed among the standing
corn-stalks and the rank grass, the
plow plowing it iu the best that it
canl When through this process
the crop has been sown, and a rougher
and more irregular piece of work can
hardly be imagined no uniformity in
the plowing some deep and some
merely slid over, and in that condi
tion it is left until it is harvested ; and
with such management it will make,
in a lavorable year, lroni twelve to
fifteen bushels to the acre. The
question may be asked, why not take
more pains in preparing the ground
well, breaking up before seeding, and
harrowing in the seed ? The answer
is cotton picking is on hand, and
everything is hurried through in or
der to 6ave the cotton. But I am of
the opinion that there is a medium
course to be adopted between the
Northern and Southern systems of
farming, which would prove more
beneficial to the South. Wc do not
require such deep plowing with our
land, but still we should plow deeper
than we now do ; and from what I
have seen of some Northern plows
with a high reputation among North
ern farmers, I think there arc plows
manufactured at tbe South which
answer onr purpose better. In a
word a Northern farmer coming
South to farm has much to learn ; lie
will soon ascertain that what answer
ed well at the North will not answer
well berc, and his observations and
judgment will lead him to adopt such
a course as well result to bis benefit.
Diversified farming is what is needed
at the South. We can grow profita
bly almost any crop, but all is neg
lected for cotton; hence provisions
are scarce when they should be
abundant To shew what can be
done with even half preparation and
cultivation, and no manuring, I give
the gross value of the crop I made
this year with five hands, as follows :

Will farming- Pjr 1
Eds. . Country Gentleman. I
hare read several articles in your
paper and others in regard to the high
price of farm labor, and the low price
of farm produce. Taking one year
with another, I believe the price of
farm produce is high enough, and
wonld yield paying rofit to the
farmer if he cultivatedphia land in a
farmer-like manner, and obtained the
yield in crops which the soil is capa
ble of prodacing. I have heard a
good many farmers complain about
the low prices they were obliged to
accept forererything they had to
sell, bnt I never beard o ne say that
dry goods or groceries, articles he
for the family, were too cheap. Yet
the producers of these articles pro
bably think the prices they get for
them are too low. In fact it is a
failing that most people Lave, of
thinking they have to sell at too
cheap rate and buy at too bigtt a
price. Farmers must combine, says
one, and get better prices, or else give
up farming. Ibis looks well in print,
and no doubt sounds well to the car
of many, but what good would result
from it, supposing 6uch a result could
be attained f I will answer the ques
tion myself. J. be consumer would
have to par more for bread and vou
wonld go on skinning the soil, taking
off crops year after year, as yon have
done for years past, and returning
little to the land to keep np its fertili
ty. What then ? Why, if you can
raise the price once, you can do so
again, and as your farms become less
productive, make the consumer pay
for your past and present shiftless
mode of fanning. ljut you cannot
influence the prices of farm produce ;
the law of supply and demand will
regulate that matter. But I will tell
you what you can do, and you Lave
been told the same thing nearly every
week in the Country Gentleman.
You can raise larger crops, and
when you follow the teachings of this
and other agricultural papers, every
year increasing and keeping tip the
fertility of your farms, yon will come
to the conclusion that farming will
pay, and not bother your brains about
the price of farm produce. For you
may remark it when and where yon
will those who bare the most to say
about the low prices of farm produce
are those who obtain the smallest
crops.
In regard to the price of farm labor,
there is ft different cry made it is en
tirely too high! We cannot obtain
skilled help at any price, says one.
Here I must take the other side of
the question again, ami say that this
state of things is chargeable on far
mers themselves. You have driven
help away from j-ou by pursuing the
course you have for many years past
How? "in not paying wages enough,
in the first place, to keep good, relia
ble help on the farm ; and, in the sec
ond place, by over-working them.
Do you think'lhat a smart farm hand
will stay and work for you fourteen
and sixteen hours a day for twenty
or thirty dollars per month, and eat
pork and potatoes three hundred and
sixty-five days in the year, when he
can get better pay, better fare, and
only work eight or ten hours a day ?
Farm hands must begin work as soon
as it is light enough, two or three
hours before breakfast, and work till
dark, and then probably have to do
the chores about the barn. Do .you
wonder that your boys leave you to
seek other employment ? I know
that, as a general thing, farm help is
poor enough, and I also know several
farms in such poor condition that un
der the present system of working
them, if the labor were furnished for
nothing, the crops would not pay for
working them. Still there is a remedy
for all these troubles, and the magic
word is, targe crops. You have pre
cept and example, facts and figures to
guide you ; cultivate less and do it
better. Don't play farmer any longer,
for vour war of .farming has been;
about as much like the real thing as
little boys playing soldiering is like
real soldiering. 1 have done a little
of that kind of farming iu my time,
but if I can be forgiven for it I will
try to do better in future. Keep
more stock, make more manure, or
take lettcr care of what is now made,
buy fertilizers and improve tbe fertil
ity of your farms. Every year get
five or ten acres in better condition,
so as to have larcer crops, work rea
sonable hours, and make home attrac
tive, so as to keep the boys with you,
and you will soon find that you can
afford to pay wages that will secure
you good reliable help.

Onr Horse.

crgion where epidemic has prevailed-
will not iermit with safety muenneg.
ligence in their winter management,
It is likely the effects of the di.sease
will be seen for some time after the
maladv itself has passed. They will
be liableTto other forms of sickness,
and many valuable animals may be
lost if they do not receive the best of
care. Among the points to be close
ly looked after, thorough grooming is
prominent The skin should be kept
clean and the pores open, so that the
system can throw off the poison the
disease has generated, readily. Oth
erwise an additional slisrhtlv induc
ing cause, as a cold, or chill, may
throw it back on the vital organs and
result in serious derangement Well
ventirated stables should be provided
and great care taken not to expose
the animals to storms, or if so expos
ed, to protect them thoroughly from
a chill until they are dry and rested.
The food should be varied and of a
nature to give strength and keep the,
Itoteels moderately loose.
Farmers who have been in the hab
it of taking their horses off grain on
the approach of winter, should not
now follow their usual custom, but
give in addition to hay, some more
nutritious but not highly stimulating
food. Carrots are extremely valua
ble. So also are potatoes, an occa
sional feed of which, say twice a
week, a half peck at a feed will be
found beneficial under almost any cir
cumstances during the winter. Oat
meal, or meal made from a mixture of
oats and corn, equal parts !
found a good feed. Instead of hay,
give horses good, bright oats traw,
to which add ft slight increase of
chopped feed, and their chances for
escaping anything ljke a chronic
cough are vastly improved. The
best practice with the disease has
been to sustain the urengtn ana ap
petite of the sick animals, by cooling,
yet nutritious . food, grooming well,
giving moderate exercise in the mid
dle of the day, and keeping" them com
fortable in the stable. In fact itis best
for the interest of all horse owners to
adopt the treatment alwve indicated,
as a permanent practice.

Farming aa l( I.
The farmer has for all time been on
individual dependent on storm and
sunshine, and at the same time often
the victim of the very elements which
contribute so much to their prosperi
ty. These things have niado him, in
reality, feel that he is the creature of
circumstances, and that tbe smiles
and frowns of heaven have quite as
much or more to do with his crop
than his individual foresight and la-
tar. 1 his state of things has been
productive, in many instances, of a
sort of discouragement that in many
cases is calculated to drivo workers
from the farm.
A study of this subject convinces
most men that farming, after all is
one of tbe sciences, and as a science
ranks high ; and it is imperative that
he Mho would attempt to follow, his
calling, must make op his mind to be
come ft student in the great school
where is taught not only the nature
of soils, but the production of the
6oils. Study will reveal the fact, and
any soil can be made productive, un
der nearly all circumstances, and that
to successfully pursue the high and
noble science, we must devote our
selves diligently to the work of prq
aration. Agriculture is, and always has
been, a profitable pursuit, even in the
faee of the many drawbacks enumer
ated. I he farmer has grown ncu ,
while the tradesman has grown poor,
side by side these two callings may
be judged, and wo leave it to any fair
minded man, if the farmer has not al
ways a better result ; the same encr-o-rn1
thi Mine amount of money
form will, in nine cases out of
ten, prove the most successful ; not
withstanding the many difficulties,
and particularly the great waste and
wretchedly bad management of many
farmers, wc see a steady growth in
our agricultural hoards. The coun
try is growing rich from the grain
made on the farm, and these grains
are tbe results, not of good manage
ment, but from the factofthe demand
made for the products of agriculture.
Imparlance ef Having- Uoosl Barns
The American Stoc-k Journal says:
The word barn is of Saxou origin.
It is derived from here, barley, and
ern, a close place or repository. In
the earlier history of mankind, it
seems to have a very limited applica
tion. Any structure adapted to the
storing of grain, was defined by this
term. In later years the word has
received a very much wider applica
tion. It embraces a structure, of
whatever capacity, designed for-stor
ing farm crops and protecting stock
of whatever description. Had we
time it might be deeply interesting
and highly instructive to trace the
progress iu.tbe construction of barns
during the last 150 years.
In a climate so changeable as ours,
the proper care and stabling of do
mestic animals arc of more impor
tance to their health and thrift than a
large number of farmers seem practi
cally to admit
Fall, winter, and spring storms of
rain, snow and sleet not unirequently
last two davs and sometimes three.
No human, prudent farmer would
leave so important and valuable do
mestic stock as horses and cattle ex
posed to sucL storms during the day
or night, aud if his stables are well
liirhted. dry comfortable and suffi
ciently ventilated, his stock will en
dure the confinement cheerfully and
with no desire to be out-doors.
Besides, a good barn will contribute
to the convenience of the laborers and
mparts an air of thrift, neatness and
order to the entire place that never
fails to favorably impress all who
visit it Light, warmth and ventila
tion are indispensable to the health,
and development of animals, and
these conditions should be found in
every stable ; tbe preservation of
farm implements, harness Sic. ; con
venience in working and performing
numberless jobs about the place ; a
safe and commodious reception for
grain, fodder Ac. ; many a farmer
ioses more than enough grain in the
course of live or six years, to say
nothing of wbat is saved by the ease
and expedition in feeding the stock,
these are some of the advantages that
will be derived from a good barn.
Then, too, an ample well-arranged
building of this kind will supply the
place of several other unsightly
structures which occupy space and
necessitate trouble. But is it urged
that it is expensive to erect such a
building. I bey need not cost ex
travagantly and the advantage and
convenience resulting from tbcm, de
monstrate that it is true economy to
have them. Better do without some
thing else and secure neat convenient
stable and barn ; each succeeding sea
son will prove more clearly the wis
dom of the investment.
When cattle arc kept at pasture, at
least during the day time in summer,
it should be a very good reason that
induces a farmer to so place bis barn
that he cannot have the yard on the
warmest and sunniest side of it Or
dinarily the coldest winds of winter
blow from the north and northwest,
while tbe warmth of the morning sun
in winter falls best into nooks where
lookout is toward the southeast.
Therefore a southeast exposure is
usually the best If there are to be
several buildings, they should be so
arranged as to shelter the yard from
the north and west Shelter from the
east is not so important, but if it can
be conveniently procured it has a cer
tain advantage, if so arranged as to
allow the early morning sun to fall in
the yard. A close fence, six or seven
feet high would be better than a high
building. When a shed is to be used
build the barn on tbe north side and
the shed on the west side of the yard
or it will be better to have a shed all
around tbe barn yard which will not
only pay largely in increased comfort
to the stock but will also protect and
shelter the manure. After the cattle
are turned out in the spring the
manure should all be piled under the
shed.
Male tfee Farm.
The American Slock Journal says:
There always has been a great deal
of prejudice in some parts of the
country in regard to using mules on
the farm. It is .true if they are not
properly handled and broken in the
first place they are apt to be some
what unruly at times, but not more so
than some horses, and if properly
broken and kindly eared for, they are
not nearly ho liable to run away or
frighten as horses. It is true they do
not look so well to a carriage as
horses, but where economy is consul
ted much is to bo said in favor of the
mule, as it does not cost much over
one half the amount to feed and shoe
a pair of mules for oncryear, that it
does a pair of horses, and, taking the
year through they will do more work ;
besides this, they will last twice as
long.
These are all important considera
tions in determining the most econo
mical to use on a farm. Every far
mer, in moderate or straightened cir
cumstances, is willing to forego some
thing in the matter of pleasure if
thereby his gains are greater. If an
animal can be raised to the age of
usefulness, for lesa expense, can be
kept after that time on cheaper food,
if his sickness and shoeing cost the
owner less money, and his working
years are greater, a farmer can well j
afford to accept some drawbacks in
the matter of appearance or ease of
management But there are many
purposes for which tbe mule is al
most universally regarded as the
superior of the horse. One 9uch em
ployment is plowing corn, potatoes
and other cultivated crops. For this
purpose the mule has many advanta
ges, llis feet are small and bis dis
position is to put them down very
nearly in a line. This being the case
he seldom injuries ridges, hills or
crops by treading on them. The
plowing of cultivated crops roust be
attended to during the severest heat
of summer. Horses are rendered
more impatient by insects, and are
less able to endure the extreme heat
of the weather than mules ; their skin
is also easier chafed and they are
much more liable to be laid up at the
most important period of the year by
various diseases that ore then preva
lent . ,
In tbe south the mule is almost ex
clusively employed for plantation la
bor, as well as for draft purposes on
the road. For plowing cotton, corn
and tobacco, or even for turning the
shallow furrows, generally seen there
in the grain fields, or those appropri
ated to cultivated crops, the mule
seems singularly adapted His gait
is fast enough for his negro driver,
whether on the turnpike or in the fur
row. He is not epicurian in his
tastes, and warm weather agrees
with him. A mule in a cotton field is
tbe right thing in the right place.
Breeding mules for the cotton and
sugar plantations of tbe south has
long been a very profitable branch of
business in the Blue Grass regions iu
Kentucky. They are taken south in
droves, or are transported in cars or
on boats. New Orleans, Mobile and
Atlanta are now the leading mule
markets.
Grade rattle.
Many of our farmers arc deterred
from tho introduction of improved
blood into their herds )f cattle by the
immense outlay of money necessary
to engage in any extensive scale in
the propagation of thoroughbred
stock. While it is true that it re
quires a handsome capital to embark
successfully in the raising of blooded
stock, it does not involve much ex
pense to produce grades that are of
as much practical value to the pro
ducer, as those of pure blood. We
do not mean to disparage in the least
the production of thorough bred
stock, for unless we have those who
engage in this, our facilities for secur
ing a high order of grades must soon
disappear. Yet men of limited
means must advance their interests as
they can. Let them then invest $150
or $200 in a Shorthorn bull calf of
pure blood ; not a grade, for it is im
possible to perpetuate the desirable
characteristics of a race of cattle by
propagation from a grade, however
deep in the blood ; but from even a
fair quality of native cows, bred to a
pure Shorthorn, we may get a class
of grades that for size, weight, rapid
growth, and taking on of flesh, arc
quite the equal of thoroughbreds.
And it is this fact that misleads so
many, causin? them to suppose that
a grade is equally good to breed from.
I or the butcher a good grade is
nearly or quite as good as thorough
breds; for propagation be is absolutely
worthless. Kansas Sptrit.
Filial Love Among the Indian.
A correspondent of a San Francisco
naiier. writing lroni tue scene ot tnc
Modoc war in Oregon, says:
The Indian in charge of this band
rejoices in the euphonious name of
"Shack astv Jim." Jle is but
twentv-five vears old, but is regarded
in this neighborhood as next to Sear
Charley, the most desperate warrior
of the Modoc tribe, lie is moreover
a dead shot with a rifle, as indeed,
are all the Indians here, being able
to shoot the eye-ball out of a squirrel,
at 100 yards, nine times out of ten.
He has a bitter hatred towards the
whites, and has only been held in
check thus far by reason of his plight
ed word to Fairchild and others.
Yesterday a Government wagon ar
rived from Fort Klamath to take the
Indians to the Reservation: and ob
serving this, and knowing that further
delay wu imposiblo "Jiiu" and his
warriors left for Capt. Jack's camp.
Before going however the gentle
Shack made some domestic prepara
tions. First, ho packed up his wife's
clothes and saddled her pony;' and
then he dressed the papooses in their
very best, and having done this he
murdered his mother. The goo d old
lady had been suffering for some time
with neuralgic gout, and was hardly
able to travel. The Indian doctors
had labored long aud faithfully to
cure her but all in vain. She was
quite old, being seventy years, more
or less, and therefore, according to
tbe Indian faith, had well nigh out
lived her usefulness. She could not
ride, and Jim was too good a son to
leave her behind to the tender mer
cies of the whites. There was only
one thing to do, and that was to mur
der her with his own trusty hunting
knife; therefore, Jim ended the old
lady's sufferings, and strapping ber
body across the back of a pony, tbe
tribe left for Jack's camp. Once
there the funeral rites will be perform
ed and all will go lovely. Notwith
standing, Jim refused to leave his
mother behind, he did permit old
"onccpey" ana nair dozen young
squaws and children to remain. Old
"Sheepey" is upward of eighty. He
is the former Chief of this section of
the tribe and of course he could not
be killed. He was, therefore, left be
hind with a half dozen squaws to take
care of him.
This sudden and unexpected move
ment of these Indians created wide
spread alarm. Mr. Fairchild at once
sent his family into Yrcka, seventy
miles distant, and got his vaqueros to
gether, and made tue most active pre
parations for defence. To-day, when
the Chronicle expedition rode up, the
place looked like a fortification. Hen
strode about with rifles lashed to their
backs, revolvers strapped to their hips,
and their wild mustangs saddled and
bridled and ready for action in case it
should be necessary to run. Fair
child, who has hitherto regarded the
Modoc demonstration as a mere mur
derous riot, is now tboronghly alarm
eu. lie regards bis own place as in
imminent danger, and a glance at the
map will convince any one that bis
fears are well founded. Hot Creek is
two miles from the southeastern cor
ner of Little Klamoth, and is the
nearest ranch now to Capt Jack's
band. The military are off in another
direction, being north, at the mouth
of lost river. Capt Jack's camp and
Fairchild's camp form the base of an
obtuse angle, of which the military
camp is the apex. So it will be seen
that tho troops arc no protection
whatever.
A hotel clerk who was banged up
in a railroad accident recently, sued
