(From the Ecconstrueted Farmer. J- j
To rarcuts.
Parents, avc "were,, in days passed,
blessed, sls we supposed, in a sysfem
of contented laborers, and with that
system we were thoroughly acquaint
ed, being educated in it from our in
fancy. L. ! .Y.'.vp:.,; ; -p.'";:.-;. .
Through this system of labor our
every habit' was formed, it being the
chief source of .revenue to our social
and domestic comfort. , .
A new j era has dawned upon its ;
that labor and social systeVi has been
destroyc 1,1 and with it the slave of
January, 18G5, is in reality a legisla
tor for u?, instead of his former mast
er who may posses the highest order
of statesmanship. ' ' ,
We know wc have many causes for
complaint, but docs this avail us any
thing? Certainly not. Then Lt us
take a calm and considerate view " of
our situation, and .rather rfijoiae that
these 'trials, came in "our day instead
of our children's time," for we can
raise them to the new situation with
out much inconvenience to themi ' ' ;
To do this we must educate them
differently, riot only' in the school
room, but in the entire social an:
domestic- circle. : We hope you will not
infer from thi that we are opposed to
a classic education. Our object should
be to instill in our children the idea
that to give them a finished education
is simply to prepare them for fajuro
usefulness in the various pursuits of
life. ' . ' ...
When we were rich in negroes wc sent
our - sons (those' of the best intellect)
to college, and after going through
this course we put them to some pro
fession, and generally they did not
succeed ,';" " : ' ;;: " .'::'-'"' '"'
The- reason was, ' their fathers
owned in the r.egro a sufficient patri
mony to live on, and consequently no
by all means, ftir.. late their children
to do so. v ' ' - ".' -.' "
No logger loc'. : on the past, but
brward. -hoping, that-while your
pathway through 11 e 43 rugged, your
children may enjoy a bright future. ,

Tlio Cow l'ca i s a rci'tljlzcp
i ' - 1 for "Wlicat. ' "
Wc have long beca raisfAcjl, from
actual experimenV that -the Common
coy pea of the Southern States, when
properly managed, affords tho. Lest
and, at the same tk l?, the .cheapest
medium for tho rctoation cf gut
exhausted cotton fid ds. Its effects
have been as lastirg and as marked
upon the fertility ol our soils as that
Gf clover upon the irorn an.d exhaust
ed lands of Virginia and' Maryland
The main reason 'why the , cow pea
has not been heretofore" extensively
used as a fertilizer Jras.owing to the
fact that previous"; to emancipation
our planters oul4 not give up a
sufficient ' portion r cf their lands to
await the ratheriM5 effects of this
most yaluabl94J!g'N6w', how
eveTwhen every pWter has a large
proportion of his poor lands lying idle,
-'there Js no excuse why, the pea should
nqz do sec in everyeiu not aosoiucc
lyjicccssariy fo corh or cotton.
Now is the best time' to plant "the
pea, t and we desire' to gi?e our agri
cultural friends thoO'esult of a carefu
experiment nia'de f by a planter in
Gwinnett county to encourag them
to makesimilar. e2$rts. , , f :
Our Gwinnett plintcr had a piece
of old exhausted Umd, twenty acres
of which had -.btm lying in broom
sage for a number, of v ears. This he
broke deep with a turn plow, in the
'cammer, and in the euccceding Fall
put down in wheat. The t-rop,' tare
fully measured, was a little less than
four bushels to the acre.

The way I keep my fowls in health,
I clean out the house once a wetk ;
put :wood ashes under the roosts ;
have iron basins for them to drink
rem; whitewash inside of hen house
with hot lime; put a little kerosene
oil on the roosts once a month. The
main food is oats, and cake of scraps
6 pick on. . I never feed but once a
dayat noon, pr .when I shut them
up at four or five P. M, When they
run out, then give them all they will
eat. In my experience, there is no
way to get diseased fowls easier than
to keep them stuffed; it makes them
lazy, and they won't work a3 much
as ( they ought to, to keep in a heal
thy condition, .
I never had any gapes in chickens.
When any fowl begins to droop I
give three large pills of common hard,
yellow soap; 'tis the best thing to
cleanse a fowl I know of.. I follow it
for three days, give them nothing'to
cat and'plenty of pure water to drink.
In deD3rato cases, give a half
tcaspoonful of tincture of lobelia. It
will seldom', if ever, fail of curing. It

The fourth year, with tho same
treatment, ne made twenty-seven
bushels,' and this (the fifth year) the
crop bids fair to make forty bushels.
Nothing has been applied to the
land as a fertilizer except the pea,
and we find thatlin fivo years, with
the cow pea alone t the production has
been increased ten-foll. This actual
experiment speaks more for the pea
than any argument which we could

necessary after each heavy fall of

better that water should stand on
