y- -i V - 1 ,- Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, FEB. 18, 1886. If There any Money in Farming? - Tfce nwer to this question depends on circumstances: On the man more than anything dee, who undertakes to farm ; end, next, on the means at his command for conducting his business. It is assum ed that the man is competent to manage his business on business jmnciples and that he also knows how to proportion his business to the available means to be employed. The answer in such case would be in the affirmative. Such a man as a rule ought to prosper at farming ; indeed, the rale should have no exception while the generous earth continues to yield, and seed time and harvest suc ceed each other. It is the God-appointed means for the support of man on the earth. There was no mistake in the design, nor any -in the adaptation of means to the end so far as God is concerned. But, then, it is very evident that taken as a whole, farming 'is not of late years la this section a money making business. There is a man here and there who seems to he prosperous, but the mass of those la this occupation barely make a living. How many? One half? many of them have got be hind and are struggling to regain lost ad vantages. The farm stock, household and other personal property, together with the prospective crop, is under mortgage for what? , Either for supplies already consumed or supplies for the next year. Supplies ! ys , bacon, com, oats, flour, salt, clothing, farm tools, Ac. These arc articles, most of them, usually produced on the farm; but these unfortunates have to buy them, and pay the highest prices of any class of consumers in the market. They make a crop, gather it, and turn it over to the mortlrasree in satisfation of his claim. They rarely have anything l$ft to go towards their support the next which is to be provided for in the e -Way, by another mortgage on the Many of them one third ? matter of feraily and form supplies at only the cost of raising them by nis own labor is his only security. Just here maybe related a conversa tion held a year or two ago with an "old time" farmer. In reply to the remark "times are hard," he said "I don't know anything about hard times: Every year is alike to me." "How is that," we asked: "Don't you owe anybody?" "No." "Does anybody owe you?" "No." "Do you raise every thing you need?" "Yes, pretty nearly." "Make your own clothes?" "Yes, nearly all." "Do you sell any produce?" "Yes, enough to do all the buying, pay taxes, &c." "Saving much money ?" "No, not very much, but always a little." "Do you buy fertilizers?" "No." "Make all your own manures?" "Yes." "This "old time" farmer, it would seem, answers the question, "Is there any money in farming?" Thereis alit tle always a little, when the business is conducted with wisdom and discretion. Even the moderate farmer can make a safe thing of it ; and the more energetic may in time make large wealth. The industrious, discreet and frugal man, whether farmer or mechanic, is apt to prosper ; while the idle, thoughtless, and wasteful, will lag behind. In the ordinary persuits of life, especially in the heirinninir. the income is small, and if o not carefully garnered, will slip away, and there will be nothing left to show for it. The man will be no better off at 40 than he was at 25 years : and seeing this, what ever spirit of energy he possesses at the first will desert him, and he will be left to drag out the remnaut of a disap pointed life, f prospective crop, the personal property, and sometimes the farm itself. This class of farmers have to carry a heavy load of risks, which is put upon every-article of supplies. They have to pay $1 per bush el for corn when the cash would command It at 75 to 80 cts.; $3 per sack for flour, when the cash price is but $2.50; Y2 to 15 cents per lb. for bacon, while others buy it for cash at from 8 to 9 cents, and thus throughout the whole list of supplies. When pay day comes round they can only get the market price for their crops, which, if it has been a good crop year, is often ery low, and the whole of it insufficient to cover the cost of supplies. If it has been a bad crop year, the price may be Hon. John. S. Henderson. While in Washington, a few days since, it was the pleasure of the writer to call on Mr. Henderson, the active and hard working member of Congress from this District. As expected, he was found at his desk, busily engaged in the matters then before Congress. He has already acquired a reputation as a worker, and his con stituents at" home may rest assured that they are ably represented by an earnest honest friend who will watch their inter ests with zealous care. Mr. Henderson's health holds up fairly under the extra ordinary strain he is under. Many of his friends think he applies himself too con stantly. Two important bills have been introduced by him recently, as follows : "a bill To prevent the destruction and to au thorize the sale of forfeited stills. That boilers, stills, and other vessels, appara tus, tools, and implements used in distil ling or rectifying, and seized and forfeited under any of the provisions of the internal-revenue laws, shall not be destroyed, Annual Assay Commission. The Commissioners appointed by the President under the provisions of section 3547 of the Revised Statutes of the tfnited States met, in conformity there with, at the mint in Philadelphia, on the 10th inst., for the purpose of making the annual trial of the coins, reserved at the several coinage mints in the United States duringlSSS. The Commission was com posed of thXfollowing gentlemen : Harris, United States out from $10 to $25 clear profit to the ton on a worthless manure. It h? hardly possible that any of the press of the State could have been bought by eyen so wealthy a corporation as the Associated Fertilizer Manufacturers, yet such a thing might be possible.

In any ease it is rare that one of this class of formers obtains relief, while the great bulk of them is doomed to a perpetual bondage of the most hopeless character, so long as he has anything left to put under mortgage. The time will come when he has nothing left, and must then, both he and his family, go out as hirelings to work for a living at rates which will barely keep soul and bad y to gether. But what is the practical effect of this condition of so large a part of the farm- tag community on the body politic ? Evi dently the tendency is to landlordism. The rich growing richer and the poor poorer. The rich, (few in num her,)"will ' 11 eventually own the lands, and.-the poor, (a majority,) tenats at will, or hirelings by the day, the week, the month or the year. The happy, independent and com fortable former of the olden and better time becomes a thing of the past. Farm ing, as an occupation, will cease to be at tractive, and only followed by those who cannot escape from it. The hireling will not care for the farm because he is a hire-' ling. The grandeur, the happiness, ro mance and poetry of the life will disap pear, and nothing but the avarice and the greed of the rich land owner will govern the productions of the soil; so that in the course of time we shall liave in this coun try a similar state of things as now exist ing in England, Ireland and Scotland , where poor white men and women are practically slaves to the rich, with none but the dimest prospect of ever bettering their condition. One of the earliest effects of this state Of the farming interest will be noted in the diminished productions of the soil, especially of those crops which go into the support of human life. There will be lea corn and other grains produced, un til these shall pay a better per cent, than cotton and tobacco ; and consequently until a successful competition shall , be possible with the farmers in the fresh and richer lands of the west. Cotton and to bacco will be mainly relied on to pay for previsions which will be brought in from other parts of the country. We see this now. The time has already come when our farmers fail to raise their own sup port. Not less than 150,000 lbs of west- Sec. 2. That all laws in connect with this act arc hereby repealed. Sec. 3. That this act shall be in force from its passage." "a bill Prescribing when Congress shall meet and when the terms of Senators and Rep resentatives shall begin. That Congress shall assemble twice in every year, and such meetings shall be on the fourth days of March and January, unless these days shallbe on Sunday, when -Congress shall assemble on the Monday following. Sec. 2 That the term of six years for which a Senator shall be elected shall in all cases commence on the fourth day of March, and the term of two years for which a Representative shall be elected shall in all cases commence on the fourth day of March. Sec. 3. That thisact shall be in force from its passage." Should the bill to prevent the destruc tion of forfeited stills become a law, it would relieve the people of one of the most vexing and exasperating features of the present hated revenue laws. A great deal of bitterness and blood shed might have been averted had this feature of the revenue system been wiped out years ago. Hon. Isham Senate; Hon". James B.

Cannon, comptroller of the cur rencv: H. G. Torrey. assayer, United States Assay Office, New York. Judge Butler presided, and immediately began work by appointing three jpm mi t tecs; one each on Counting, Weighing and Assaying, The work of the first committee was to open and count in the presence of the Commission, the coins reserved and for warded from the several mints in the United States, aud to distribute coins from the several paekages to the' committees on weighing and assaying. It was the duty of the committee on weizning to weiarn me ( oins collectively, and by the single piece. The piles of coin to the one-thousandth of an ounce, and the single pieces to the eighth of a grain; and to note the results with a special reference as to any that might be found without the equal limits of weight It was the duty of the committee on assaying to have a portion of the reserved coins melted into ingots, and from these to take test-samples for assay The law requires the standard gold of the United States to be so constituted that in 1000 parts by weight 900 shall be of pure gold, and 100 of an alloy of cop per and silver. The process of assay re quired the removal of both these metals, and two separate operations were neces sary. Standard silver has 900 parts of pure silver and 100 parts of copper. The proeess of assay required that the exact proportion of silver in a given weight of the compound be ascertained. This was deli cate work, but in was it the hands of the best experts in the country The review of the work of the mints was satisfactorynot a coin was found to be without the limits of deviation allowed by law. When it is remembered that the most minute error in any of the details of coinage will result in changing propor tions or weights, the accuracy of the work is simply marvelous The above shows only a brief out-line of the work done. Outside of work nours tne time ot tne Commission was engaged in attending lunches, didner etc., tendered by citizens of Philadelphia Mint officers aud the Clover Club.

It is a sad retrospect for the democratic party. So many of our great men have fallen to sleep in less than a generation. Mr. Seymore was an intimate friend of the Hon.

But this correspondent goes on and says some veay pointed things, which ape commended to the attention of the -farmer. He continues : Before its establishment we paid $45 per ton for an ammoniated fertilizer and $35 per ton for acid phosphate or super phosphate ot lime, men we Knew nom inal about the value of the article pur- hased, often with fear and, trembling, buvwitn tne nope tnai ine manuiacturer was nonest ana was giving rair goous. And wedo know that general dissatisfac tion existeiJroin its uncertainty. Then many brandswere sold in the State. One year a prorainentshrand would give satis- taction ana letters ot praise wouia come pouring into the owners. The next year these letters would be published and scat tered abroad and the brand would be bought again bv the same parties and many others, and the buyers would find themselves victimized, and thus it went on from year to year until the legislature established the Bureau, wnen a mignty change took place and the fertilizer brands of many makers were taken out of the market, aud only those retained whose makers were willing to try their fortunes by honest dealings in the future. The growth of consumption steadily in creased and farmers were better satisfied. They were getting an honest article. The result was that cotton was raised higher up in the foot hills of the mountains than ever before, and the production of tobacco r increased enormously. At the same time the prices of fertilizers steadily declined until uowammoniated guano can be bought from $30 to $3o and an-acid phosphate from $20 to $2n. There was sold last year in the State 90,000 tons, which at $10 per ton would be a saving to the farmers of nine hundred thousand dollars. But I must conclude. A few years ago fertilizers were adul terated with leather, hair and horn to re present so much ammonia, and while the article contained it the fertilizer was worthless because the ammonia was in an insoluble condition and likely to remain so for years, doing no good until decom position occurred. .Mater, Jvamit and Peruvian Guano were adulterated and the Experiment Station exposed it. Par ties were claiming that silica was valua ble m fertilizers and were selling it at cts. per pound. The station will inform you that the bulk of all soils is composed of silica. If that was the case an acre of ordinary sandy soil taken to the depth of one foot would be wbrth $28.000. But the manufacturer was going right along claiming it as valuable to the farmer, and people, in their ignorance upon the sub ject, bought it, mortgaged their crops lor i : . i f 1 a. 1 . . ii, goi no goou iroin n anu yew imu to pay for it.

It depends chiefly on two words in dustry and frugality ; that is, wasted neither time nor money, but make the best use of both . Without industry and frugality, nothing will do, and with them, everything. Why go to bed and shiver for hours with cold feet when a hot rock, brick, orsand bag will give comfort and enable you to sleep in a short time? Such facilities for the relief of the sick is com mon in every family. Why not employ them to prevent disease ? Cold feet preventing sleep is an invitation to disease to walk in. Gold and Silver. Senator Teller presented elaborate tables showing the coin circulation of the world, from which it appeared that the silver circulation of Great Britain was $2.60 per head of population. Ger many, $4.07 per head, the United-States, S4.8o per head and France, SI 5.79 per Head. Thetotal coinage of the world, he said, had been estimated as follows: Silver $2,776,000,000, gold $3,292,000-, 000. But gold and silver had been found lhsuffieient to carry on tbje busi ness of the world and all nations had ill K resorted to paper currency oafed on these meials. The whole amount of paper money issued had been $3,973. 000,000, which was more tha the whole amount of either gold oi silver. If, then, gold and silver combined had been found insufficient in quantity to carry on the world's trade, what reason was there for supposing that gold alone would be sufficient?

Alio, Important. We are indebted to the "Southern Fer tilizer Co.," Richmond, Va., for a copy of a little-book entitled "Tobacco; how to cure it, especially fine yellow." . The first hint we get from this little book may be more important to those who raise tobacco than some are aware, and that is the selection of the seed for a crop. We find there are about twenty different varieties raLed in this State arid Virginia, and that the grower's success sometimes depends on the variety he se- lects some being well adapted to high, The Bulletin's Report The officers of the Department of Agri culture have given in the Febmary IMe-mnily 8oi1Sj and others to heavy ern bacon this market to inerchaht alone was sold in farmers last year. One sold about 60,000 lbs. A very large quan tity of western corn was also sold out to them, and many other articles in smaller quantities. And this state of things has come on, not suddenly, but by slow ap proaches. Instead of shipping corn I flour, hay,' oats, bacon, &c, as in former times. farmers have become buyers of these es sentials to human life, and lay out their energies on cotton and tobacco, risking success on the uncertain prices of these two commodities.

The report takes up about eleven pages of the Bulle tin, and is given in sufficient detail to enable any one to fully understand the nature of the expenditures. Attached to the exhibit of expenditures is the report of the examining committee, approving all except a matter of porter's fees amoun ting to less than five dollars. This ex hibit must certainly set at ease those who have been on the anxious seat mourning the extravagance of the board's expendi tures. In truth the whole i n Vfst i im t i rn has dwindled down to a point where public interest has ceased to be felt in it. The mare's nest was empty. The gentlemen in charge have been rjroven earnest, capable officers, laboring zealous ly for the best interest of North Carolina. The Station is doing honest, faithful work. and saving thousands everv year to the farmer in protecting him from fraud in fertilizers. clays. Circumstances of this nature en tering into the question of success or failure, it will be seen at once that the planter should have due care to the selec tion of the seed he uses. The next issue of this paper will con tain extracts on this branch of the sub ject, and perhaps some others deemed of interest to those engaged in the business. Co-I&etailism. Under this head, a correspondent of the Chicago Mining Review, has some in teresting things to say. lie is of the opinion; that gold and silver should be united and equal in purchashing power and in the liquidation of all obligations, either personal or State. In treating the subject he takes up the ideas of Nicholas Veeder, who lias written a work on co metallism, and applies them to a new co metallism coin, is follows : In pursuance of such new idea, I propose a new cojneltHic dollar, the essential na ture of whieii is that it shall contain one half in value in gold and one halt in silver. The present standard gold and silver dol lars exist in large amounts, and, all things considered, will remain as permanently equitable in their relations to each other as any other probable standard, and I sug gest them as a basis lor the new dollar in order to avoid needless trouble and expense and to secure easy and harmonious transi tion from the old to the new. "The present gold dollar weighs 25 8-10 grains, and the silver dollar weighs 41 2 lins. The proposed new ideal dollar would be composed of 12 9 10 grains ot standard gold and 20(4 grains of standard silver it would be. a silver-gold dollar, and would contain one hundred silver-gold cents. The new coin which I have invented, and the adoption ot which I propose consists of an outer disk of sliver of the value oi 50c, resembling a coin with a hole through its center. In this hole or centre is fitted a disk ot gold, also ot the value ot 50c. The cold is held in place by the millings of the silver lapping over the gold and the compression mcidCMit to coinage. There is a double depression where the gold is, and the latter is too thin to admit of alteration. It may also be said for this coin, that the abrasion conies on the cheap er inetal. the gold being protected by be ing recess. In size it would be only trifle thicker than the present half dollar, and would be easily distinguished in the pocket by the central der resion, and wnen ' . Is There a League. Under this head a correspondent of the Daily Charlotte Observer says : For the past two weeks I have noticed many severe and, I fear, unjust criticisms and attacks upon our Agricultural De partnient at Raleigh from several sources, and I am inclined to believe that ignor ance if at the bottom of some of it by the misguided ; but the systematic part ot tne attack comes lrom another source I am credibly informed that theiertili zer companies have formed a league, rais ed a large fund, and taken counsel at Ral eigh, that is, hired wire pullers and lob byists for the purpose of breaking down the present fertilizer law and cunninelv enlisting the aid of good, honest papers to aid them in their scheme, fow 1 do not- believe we have many papers in North Carolina, that would enter into this thing knowingly, but think they are imposed upon. My desire xi writing this is to can tne attention ot our peopje and general assembly to the importance of sustaining the Deportment of Agriculture and particularly that part of it known as the Experiment Station or Chemical Bureau. There may be an organized effort on the part of fertilizer makers to hreak down the Department, as it would enable them to sell sand and mud, properly scented, to our farmers for the highest The Southern Bivouac, for March, will contain a fac simile repro duction of a letter from Thomas Jefferson relating to the Kentucky Resolutions of '98.
