Small Farms Again.
A name often holds a deep fallaoy,
and the name "small farms" holds oino
of the most deceptivo. We think of
the farms of old or new England and
of Europe. But a small farm in
Europe, with a population of over
three hundred to the square mile, or
in Massachusetts, with a population
of near two hundred to the square
mile, exists under such d ifferent social
conditions from those that surround a
suall farm in the South, that we are
deceived in reasoning from the one to
the other. We believe that such small
farms as many talk of, will be a step
backwards, and not forwards, beaunse
we have not yet a sufficient popula
Lion for small farms. A singular rea.
son, do you say, reader ? Well, just
think It out leisurely, and you will
see the sense of it, but whilo think
ing it out, don't indulgo in fancies is
to what agriculturalists ought to
do. Agriculturalists are very much
oreatures of surrounding oireumstai
ces, and remembering that, just con
fine your thoughts to what men do,
and not to what they ought to (o.
With this caution, we say, we may
have small farms here, foisted on us by
intermoddling of governn:ent perhaps,
but they will bo a retrograde step in
agriculture just it present, and can
not be the small farms we read about,
because we have not the population,
capital and labor necessary to sustain
them. If we could have such farms,
we soon would have them, for they
pay handsomely, and land-speculators
would quickly bring them about. If
wo t'an have thom, we will have them.
IBu there are many elements in this
problem of wiso and efficient, modes of
culturo besido the size of the farm.
The small farms we read about are
very beautiful. But cut up this
State as small as you r.lease, until
the labor improves, aid until popula
tion and diversified industry and
skilled labor and wealth come, tie
small farms we will have will be very
ugly. Again, then we say, look to
lie labor, to the skill, quantity and
combinatory quality of the labor: here,
where much land is contiually in the
market, the size of the farms will
regulate itsolf.
Note that we do not say that ulti
mato improvement will not come, if
the division of land be hastened di
rectly by the land comnision, or any
other land speculation, and indirectly
by its influence over our present la
bor, but that it is a retrograde step
just at present, and will result in im
mediato loss to the production of the
State. TheII ultima te effoiot, or at least
one part of it, the inducing the land
owners the sooner to import imi
grants, is certain to (do good. But
even that would happen in time any
hiow, and the let alone policy, quietly
permitting events to shape them
solve:;, in the light of argument and
experience, and by the poweor of self
seeking interest, would answer all
wise purposes much better. Our
present rulers would have created the
world in one morning Instead of six
days, and would have put it to money
making before night.

The discussion of thme cotton supply,
oatton trade, and entton manufactures
now going en in England, will do an
incalculable amount of good to the~
South. There is aLout three times am
much machinery for manufacturing
cotton in England as the commerce of
that country calls for, and consequent
ly it is lying idle and yielding no
profit, nor can it yield any proit unil
'the supply of cotton is increased in
three-fold proportion. The question,
therefore, is being asked, "what is to
be done with It 1" and the answer be
lng given by the most intelligent
tbinkers on the subject, is, "send it
along with the skilled labor to the
Southern United States. This is
sound counsel, and wve believe will, In
a year or two, be adopted. "Send
labor to the Southern United States,
and triple the production of cotton,"
say others. But the first plan is the
best way of carrying out the second.
The position this paper has taken
on the sabjeot of immigration, though
often urged upon the attention of Its
readore with groat earnestness, has al
ways been a muoderate and far
seeing. positlen. "Thbo mills of the
Gods grind slowly," but they gind

the population of Fairfield, they had
bettqe kogln to brig their corn to the
.mnill,.and prepare for a ebange as cor..
tKin and as absolute as then tovolution
gothe planet.. Immigration is a o4e4
tainty, and wore w 'a platiter, we
would arrange to step easily oti of
the old system of libor and culfuro
into the new one destined, in a single
generation, or most certainly in two,
altogether to supplant it. Those who
will not advance, will be dropped be
hind on the road. Next January will
open a fewo more eyes, and the January
after, still a fqw more, until secing
and understandin', reading, marking
and iuwardly digosting, leads to out..
ward enterprise and intelligent ac
tion. We have unshaken faith in the,
future of our country. Immigration
will replenish and adorn it with all
the fruits of advancing civilization,
even if immigration be left to indi
vidual interests to mainage. Men liv
ing in society, however, ought 'to
make usc of the enlightened principlo
of social comibination of thought and
purpose, of money and mnean!, for a
conmon and much desired ond.
Thereforo is it that we have never
hoard the tenth part of a grain ef com
mon sonso yet advialebd to movo us a
singlo peg from our advocacy of a
joint-Stook minigration so!iety, which
WO proposed over a year ago, and

apathy and despairing indifference to
the public good turn an earnest and
honest journal from its settled pur

the prosperity of the Stato ?

Vise men look a stern fact stern
ly in the face, aidt having fully
comTprehI ended it, then master the
m1eans of, wisely dealing with it. The
provisions raised in South Carolina
cannot possibly feed the people of the
State aind tlir sitock la ter t hanl th1e
first of A pril next. Provisions to
last after that, must bo provided by
an cytonsive planting of grain crops
and vegetables and by purchasing
from abroad. Now it is on tho sub
ject of purchasing that we desire to
throw out. a hint. Let plantors in
every neighborhood conimbine, throw
their csh (to crodit) into a common
fund, aid employ a skilftul and honest
agent to buy their corn, salt, babon,
sngar and molasses, at wholesale pri
eCs, from wholesale de:Alers. They
will thus save at least fifty cents on
every dollar ! W hat do our people
$ot lose yearly by neglecting the great
principle of cooperation ? In many
respects, a Southern planter gets nio
more good from being i member of so
cioty than a liottentot. And yet lie
pays taxos for the priviloges of socio.
ty, whether lie uses them or not.
Would not a free discussion of
plaiters' supplies for 1870, with i a
view of carrying the discussion to the
State meeting in Columbia, be alto
gether in place at the next meeting of
the Fairticld Agricultural and me

One great reason why nianureanever
acts vigorously onlightsn sta
the extreamo porosity which character
izes it, causes the dung to keep dry,
and consequently to remain inert. A
lump of dry manure isno better in the
soil than a olaip or a stone, and will
produce juat tie same effect upon the
crop. The clay gives eohesiveness to
particles, unites thorm by a sort of
glutinous attachmaent and consid era
tion, and while it favors the absorp
tion and retention of moisture, ensures
the fornmentation and ultimato deconm,
Sotition of the dung. In a few years

A Loun APPEAL, vOn MoNVy wM
M sssii err.-A scorot -circular from
the Radical State Committee in Mis.
siiisippi to their friends in the North,
calling strenuously for money, has
fallen into the hands of the Hartford
Times. It is at very urgent appeal,
filling four printed pages of a letter
sheot. It suomnts that the Radicals Ire
in danger. The circular says they
nmust havo monCey--ad have it at
once. Thev maust have, moreover,
$25,000. We quote :
To effect this in a way that the op
position shall smart uider it, and they
shall yield peaceful bulaiii-sion at the
ballot box, we bhiall have nod of at
least twenty-five thous.anid dollarsfioem

The poor whites aid the colored men
are the most numerous class in the
State. Many of thom are utarvinig,
and our political enemiies are provid

and they clothe thom. Others tre
thirsty, and they id-ink them. 'Thus,
danger, fearful and threateinig, hov-.
era over us, and to avent it we must
have money.
The tone of this circular betokens
the overthrow of Radicalism in Mis.
