Economy in the Use of Cohn. Perhaps !
there was never a crop of corn grown in the
Southern States more abundant than the one of
this roar We have seen gentlemen from the ex-
:' t.,. e.,tt. n,l tha MoiitlitFoef .! iUv rpi.rp-
' tent U :1 heiiif!- oouallv fine in 'all nlacos. If
i-pd and not used in w.isfp. it is nrob-
able that nearlv enough has been made to furnish ;
bread
enough for two years. It is on tins very
that we wish to address t. few words of
point
caution to our readers. As a general tnni, :
i Southern farmers do not study economy in dealing
I out supplies of food. If they mako a great deal,
1 they consume a great deal; it they make but lit- .
' tie. thev trv to do wiih that little. To illustrate:
! ....
we will ni oost that a farmer's wants, in order
,- i
that he may get alemg comfortably during tne
! year, with plenty of food for man and beast, re
quire that he should make two hundred barrels
: of corn. If the season is a very :ood erne, his
i crop may amount to 250 barrels; if dry, it may
; not average 150. In the one case be will feed
! with a very liberal hand, so that by the maturity
J of the next crop his crib will have been pretty
j well emptied ; in the other case, he will stint his
I hordes and hogs so as to eke it out until new corn
' comes in. Under present circumstances, when the
whole future is involved in so much uncertainty,
! it appears to us to be the imperative duty of every
! farmer M practice a wise economy in regard to tliis
1 mi i r
important crop. 1 nere will ne a use tor every
grain for one purpose or another. We shali have
to raise our own supplies of pork, instead of re
maining dependent on Ohio and the Northwest
and to do this, will require a great amount of
corn. Every farmer should also rear a few fat
cattle either for home consumption or the market.
In this and in other Ways that will suggest them
selves to the intelligent cultivator, a profitable use
may be made ef every ear of the bountiful crop
with which Providence has blessed our land.

A, Mistake about Early Rising It is
often remarked that there are two sides to every
question, and after reading the following we verily
believe this is the case, for who supposed that it
was possible to throw a doubt em the benefits
of
early rising? The question, however,
thus
satisfactorily disposed of by a genius:
We have watched those fell jws who are early
risers, anu, as a geueiai onug, ic
chaps who go to the groceries in the morning.
n n mumisniur ..uUU1, luc 5u.a,.. ... .v-.
est men being early risers. It might have been so
in old times, but now-adays when you see a chap
m .ving about very early you may be certain he is
after a drink.
