What I Would do, Were l a
. Youngr Farmer.
Perhaps I would get married ; am
sure I would, it I had fifty acres of
land, a cow and a horse, was healthy
and willing to liabor, and provided a
nice, well raised girl could be found,
brave enough to marry a poor man,
and not be sorry for it afterwards.
It. from ten to thirty acres ot land
could be spared from . cultivation, I
would plant it in pecan nut trees,
which would, in twenty years, prove
a source of income to me. When past
middle age, I would cultivate bees
to obtain honey for home consump
tion at least, and if the pasturage
was good, for market also ; shoald
certainly raise cattle, for an ample
supply of milk and butter; there is
no good living wiihont milk and
butter ; not much digestion, and but
little perlect health.
I should keep shep also, say four
or five sheep to each head of cattle,
and if mv farm was too. small to
graze them, and no privilege vr.s of-;
fered me of grazing them upon the
public domain, I should sell otu, or
move without selling, and locate
myself, not in the far West, but
within a line of sixty miles-, from the
Atlantic and Gulf coast,' extending
from North Carolina to Alabama ;
would seek a healthy, level pine
land, with a light sandy soil, lying
upon a substratum of red or yellow
clay, and near enough streams to ob
tain cane pasturage for my cattle
during the winter. Our own State
furnishes thonsands upon thonsands
of such acres.- Colleton, Beaufort
and Barnwell Counties fill the bill
exactly. . .
I would plant corn, cotton, peas,
potatoes, oats, and sugar cane; would
not6pend one dollar for commercial
fertilizers, but all my dollars fur
sheep and cattle, and would keep as
many as I could winter, or that
could winter themselves, it the num
ber should reach one thousand, and
the farm should be proportioned to
the size ot the herd. Cattle and
sheep should herd together, to pro
tect the latter from dogs; and if the
pasture was within two miles, they
should be driven up, and penned in
portable pens every night for at
least eight months, of the year,: In
this genial latitude there are but few
days .ot, winter so cold as to brbjd
the herding of cattle in the open air.
My stock of cattle and sheep would
be the source of all the phosphates
and ammoniates that could be de-
sired. They would be living and!

Sambo's destructive cl utehes, and

the only system of agriculture that
can redeem the South and save its
people from destitution, ;
Men of small capital should begin
on a small scale, always if ithin their
means. Let it be one cow and calf,
and four sheep if noj more. Instead
of hiring a man to drive up this
miniature herd, better hire the herd
to come without driving, by paying

IMPORTED ONLY BY THE
GUANAHANI GUANO COMPANY,
PETERSBURG, VA.
In offering this FERTILIZES to the Agricultural Community a Second Season, we do so
with the utmost confidence, feeling satisfied that the high opinion we formed and expressed
last season, based on its chemical constituents, have been most 6atifactorily borne out by the
test, by which all Fertilizers must be judged, that of the Plantation.
Last season, owing to the lateness which we commenced importing, we were forced to put
our Guano on the market at once, but now having continued our importations daring the;
summer and fall, and having large and well ventilated Warehouses in this City and at City
Point, we are enabled to put our Guano on the market, in a condition as to dryness, and
freedom from lumps, equal to any Manufactured Fertilizer. . - i. I
We solicit a careful perusal of our Circular containing the certificates sent us, and which
can be had on application at this OFFICE, or from any of our AGENTS. Having nothing
to conceal, we made an innovation on established usages, by publishing those letters received
unfavorable to our Guano, but careful inquiry in many cases proves that the cause of its
ailure was not owing to any fault in the Guano, but to those far beyond our control. We
have frequently heard the same complaints of its kindred Fertilizer Peruvian Guano, but
the concurrent testimony of well known Farmers and Planters, from Maryland to the ex
treme Western counties of North Carolina, justify us in claiming a pjace for our Fertilizer
Superior to many, and Second to None. '" j
We confidently expect the continued patronage or the Agricultural community, and noex
ertion shall be spared on our part to make
