For the Month WuarV ! 4, .
At the beginning of the ar Uteveiy
larmer calmly and critically lkbckKon
So record othe paat year, f who h"

Ee was twelve months ago can
Cive the credit of hia success . ere Jt

Lmmend and whereto laj bUj . I .s
the part of wisdom to profit by the ex
perience of the past.
We dare assert that the preponderating
And most effective cause of the improved
condition of a majority of fe
be found in the fact that more acres, more
manure, more attention and better work
has been devoted to growing supply crop
Farmers themselves have all alon been
preaching this policy to each other- bat
like the sign board at the iork of the
road they have too often merely pointed
out the true road , to others while they
themselves have not followed it. Many
have excused themselves in planting
heavily in cotton and dangerously con
trading the area in supply .crops, by the
plea of debt and the necessity imposed
upon them by creditors. We dare assert
that the plea is a delusion and a snare.
The recourse for all such farmers is buy
no more on a credit. Far better to mort
gage land for the money with which to
pay cash, and then farm according to the
dictates of sound reason. Every farmer
should realize, as many have done, that
the leading idea the essence of farming,
as a profession, is to make bread and
meat, and plenty of it, and to grow pro,
perous, and even rich, by the acciimnla
tionsand surplus, and by the increased
values of land that are inseparable results
of such a farm policy. , .
It is utterly futile to expect, any con
siderable or permanent increase, in the
market Drice of cotton. The South has
territory enough yet undeveloped in pro-;
uuciug capacity, w vuoujr
World's demand for the staple. Any
considerable temporary advance in the
market price will, in one year," itiduce
such an increased production as will in
evitably briner the Drice down to, and
below the average. In short the price of
cotton will always correspond very Close
ly rarely exceeding the average cost
of its oroduction by the unskilled and
unscientific and extensive' methods of
culture that so generally prevail, just as
the wages of common unskilled labor have
always been,' and. probably, always will
be, barely sufficient to Bupport life and
strength. Any man or woman,-; 'or boy,
with oanacitv to labor, can make cotton.
As a matter of fact, the ; greater part of
the seven millions of bales produoed h
this country, is the product of labor that
might be performed by mere savages
with a few day's training. The lesson
we desire to impress is this: Futur
success in cotton crowing, by; small
farmers, especially, must depend upon the'
exercise of more skill in the methods qi
-tion, selection of varieties and cultivation.)
This truth has already been recognized;
by many of our foremost farmers, and;
they are intelligently laboring to reduce:
the cost of Droduction while stifl. if poa
sible. maintaining the gross amount of
production.
To do this requires a fair and Increasing
knowledge of the laws of preparation, cul
tivation, fertilization, etc. If nine cents
is to be about the average price per pound
received by the producer, then the fixed,
resolve should be made not to plant an!
acre of land that will not, under average
conditions produce cotton at a cost con
siderably less than nine cents per pound.
To do this requires sound judgment, and,
a thorough knowledge of the capacity of
the land and the probablo effect of tertil
izing it. In many cases it will be ound
expedient to throw out of cultivation
considerable areas, to Jbe partially renova
ted and improved by tne slower put less
costly natural process, while the .costly
labor and fertilizers shall be applied to
land that is in better condition and more
responsive to the efforts of intelligent skill.
There are doubtless many thousands of
acres of land annually cultivated fn cotton
each year which not dnly yield r?o profit.
but entail an absolute loss on: the cultiva-i
tor. Let any ordinary observer recall the
number of fields; oj,large fart4 of fields,'
that have fallen . under his own eyes, of
which four, five and even ton acres have
produced only one bale'of cotton7,; y" j
Of course we are Advocating the inteH
sive system, which means simply -the con -traction
of areas and the concentration of
labor, fertilizers everything that costs
money. Such a system may be inaugura j
ted by any farmer. -The I hunter-who
charges his gun with nothing but bird
shot, will kill no large gamb ; but-bo who
loads with buckshot and r balls bags the
deer, Southern Cultivator. -
What the Hens Do. Is a hen's time
worth anything? Does she do anything
except to lay eggs and furnish mea,t that
entitles her to recognition? We 'are in!
dined to think that she does, and that if
she never laid an egg or graced the in
side of a pot pie, she would still be worth
raising on the farm, that the bugs she
cats would vastly destroy more grain
than would keep the hen Did you ever
notice a hen in her search tor bugs ?
She will almost leave corn to "go after ai
grasshopper or a cricket. Set a coop of,
chickens down by an ant hill and the ants,
will disappear, as if by magic Give- her1
bugs enough and she will scarcely need,
other food, hundreds of them disappear
ing down her throat every day. !
