The Way to Commence Farming.
As soon as a man becomes proprietor
of a farni,with a design to cultivate the
soil, for a livelihood, if he is an intelli
gent and thoughtful man his first in
quiry will be, what system of farm
management can I adopt which will
enable me to distinguish myself as a
successful agriculturist ; or which will
return to me a fair equivalent for the
capital invested, as well as a satisfactory
renunciation for my labor ; and at the
same time leave my farm in a condition
quite as productive or even more so
than it was, when I commenced farm
ing operations. No problem in geome
try was ever more difficult to solve.
There is the farm ; and here are the
forces to work it. And so wo may say
in another respect: there is the piano,
and here is the music to be played.
But what are these without musical
talent and musical skill ? And what is
a farm, and tools, and implements, and
forces without knowledge and skill to
manage them? The first thing will be
to plot the farm properly. The next
step to be taken will be to adapt the
crops to the quality of the soils. Then
if any portion of it be wet, calculations
should be made to drain it as soon as
may be practicable.
A SYSTEM OF MIXED HUSBANDRY.
"One cow, and a pig, and a lamb and a calf,
And plenty of corn, good husbandry hath.''
Edwards.
And swine, in connection with raising
grain, Lies at the foundation of success
ful and progressive agriculture. Still
it is not desired that there is much good
agriculture in the world which pays
well, and which might be called pro
gressive farming, where not a hoof is
kept from one year to another, But in
order that agriculture may be. paying,
and at the same time a self-sustaining
system, the only reliable way is, to
keep more or less stock, and consume a
large proportion of the course grain
which is raised on the farm. If a far
mer has an abundance of surplus capi
tal with which he can purchase guano,
ground bone, poudrette,or other fertili
zers, he may keep his soil good, and
raise large crops of grain or grass with:
out keeping stock of any kind.
But this would not be such a system
of farm management as I would en
dorse or recommend to those who are
about to commence farm operations.
The great idea in mixt husbandry is,
to commence with a limited capital,
and to adopt such a system of manage
ment as will return capital enough to
defray the expenses of cultivation and
pav for the improvements on the farm,
anil leave a profit towards paying for
the land, and, at the same time, not
impoverish the soil at all ; but, on the
contrary, improve its fertility from
year to year.
What I desire to have understood by
a mixt husbandry is, a system of farm
management in which raising grain
constitutes only a portion of a farmer's
employment; while raising stock of
Kfimfi kind is a chief tart of his busi
ness. In other words, raising stock
and growing grain on the same farm
possess decided advantages over that
system of husbandry in which nothing
but grain is grown or stock reared. A
system of mixt husbandry involves all
the good practices to which we have
made allusions in this chapter. And it
may not be amiss to allude to some of
the immediate advantages arising from
such a system. I have my mind on a
man who owned only a small plot of
land, who raised an excellent crop of
Indian corn every season for twenty
two successive years on one field. No
other crop was ever grown on that field
during that period. And the twenty
second crop yielded a larger number of
bushels of good grain than the first, or
any other crop during that period of
time. He always kept two good cows,
and fattened two excellent hogs ; and
most of the manure they made was ap
plied to the soil where his corn grew.
This instance affords us an example
of mixed husbandry on a limited scale.
But it was by no means a perfect, or
even a commendable system of agricul
ture. If he had adopted, jn connection
with this system, a three or four years
rotation-of-crops system, the Indian
corn which was raised, the twenty:se
cond year would have been heavier,
and the system a most complete one.
Let us notice wherein it could have
been improved. The soil and locality
were well adapted to raising wheat,
barley, oats, potatoes, beans or grass
Now, as Indian corn requires certain
elements of the soil different from
wheat, oats or barley, by growing a
crop of Indian corn every season on
that same soil, there was an extraordi
nary demand for those fertilizers only
which Indian corn required. There
was a great abundance of material in
the soil that would have produced oats,
barley and wheat which the roots of
Indian corn could not take up. Here,
then, we may perceive, and can appre
ciate the excellence and importance of
adopting a rotation system in con
nection WITH MIXED HUSBANDRY.

Immigration Treatment of Northern
People at the South.
We propose to say a few plain words
in regard to a much talked of subject.
In cool blood let us consider, for a while,
facts and things as thev are. At the
outset let it be premised (and we do not
believe that any person of sense and
observation will deny it), that therer is
a broad and distinct difference between
a Southern and a Northern Society.
Their manners, their education,, their
habit of thought, their pursuits, their
ideas, their civilization, and even their
Christianity were dissimilar. A colli
sion of force occurred in the nation in
consequence of this dissimilarity and
antagonism. The Southern element of
manners, of education, of ideas, and Of
civilization, were overwhelmed and
overcome completely in this collision.
This brought us to the close of the war.
What do we find now? Not by any
means a total obliteration of all the
conditions which produced the war.
but on the other hand, that the old
conditions to a great extent remain.
With the outward form of surrender,
complete and comprehensive as it was,
the populations of the South did not
divest themselves of all their previous
notions, ideas and predilections. We
do not design now to speculate, philo
sophically, as to the possibility of a
population thoroughly indoctrinated in
certain opinions and classes of opinions,
throwing them off abruptly, and at once,
and adoDtiner new ones, but we simply
nllnHA tn the nresent condition of
Southern society as a palpable fact.
Now, we observe, and we admit be
cause we do observe, that there is a
gradual, though slow, subsidence of
these peculiarities these old Southern
ideas and opinions. Their ideas were
the weaker and the less tenable, and
when they took visible shape and effect
in the physical struggle of the war,
they yielded, and now, since the war,
are constantly, though, as we said,
slowly yielding as against the attrition
of superior and better opinion. So that
we find in the South an incursion in
progress, as inevitable in its results as
was the incursion of the armies, but it
is an incursion of opinion, and princi
ples, and ideas, advancing steadily, but
slowly; yet, after all, like an "army
with banners,' ' and with the allies of a
more vigorous training, of greater
wealth; and of a superior civilization.
To partisans, to small neighborhood
politicians, to that hide-bound class in
the South (which is large), who " learn
nothing, and forget nothing," this is
looked at with the eyes of prejudice,
and they exclaim, "yankee innova
tions," "uprooting the institutions of
rmr fnthprs." But the honest, unpre
judiced, liberal thinking of the Southern
population welcome iutc uuiuvauuiia
nf nninion as thev do the traction en
gine or a cotton mill. The tendency of
all this is evident. It is toward the
unification of the civilization of the po-
. - i T" il.
pulations on the continent 01 ixorin
America.
Xo-vprthfilfisa (for the above' remarks
are preliminary,) it is undeniable that
a northern man coming to the South
at present, with such opinions as he
naturally entertains, and especially if
he be an open ana avowea j&epuuucaii,
is liable to experience a great many
nnniMsnnt thinp-s. .This is especially
so if he brings with him a family.
It is so on account of the condition
pfv hprp. as explained above.
He finds that nearly all the churches,
the institutions of learning, the religi
ous and other newspapers, and, indeed,
npnrlv all the ramifications of what is
called society are composed of, and
managed by persons wno were enner
active in, or who assented to the rebel
lion. To have been a good confederate
is a passport to popularity, not to say
rPGnPPnhilitv- On the other hand the
northern man is imbued with all the
impulses engendered at the North by
the effort to suppress the rebellion. He
had been educated to hate slavery and
secession, he had participated in pub
lic meetings, had marched in proces
sions, had assisted at the obsequies of
slain heroes, or had perhaps led troops
in battle. The result is that he finds
himself in a position where he is oblig
ed to abandon his convictions and his
manhood in order to be on social terms
with his neighbors. If he participates
in a Republican meeting, the local pa
per, which is often conducted by some
brainless, narrow minded and mean
spirited "bomb proof," assails him as a
carpet-bagger and pursues him with
calumny and vilification. He may be
a gentleman, and a man of capacity,
and culture, and wealth, and character,
but it makes no difference. He is as
sailed with epithets, and denounced.
The local paper informs him that "no
gentleman can be a Republican," and
advises that no social intercourse be
held with such as act with the Repub
licans. He gets cool nods along the
streets. He is stared at in church. He
is snubbed on 'change. This descrip
tion is not of any particular case or lo
cality, generic. The people of this
city : the people of this State ; the peo
ple of the South know that the picture
which we have drawn is correct, and
not an exaggerated one.
Now, how can it be expected that
population and capital will flow to such
a region as we have described ? And
this is the real reason why, since the
war, the South has not leaped forward
in the road to prosperity. The whole
of this magnificent region languishes,
and its fields lie uncultivated, arid to
the sun. Capital is to us a phantom,
and prosperity a vacant dream. Why
is it? simPlv because we have not
said by our action and by words that
we invite and welcome strangers
among us4 regardless of their poet
ical opinions, on the same terms as
they go to other States of the Union.
Simply because proscription awaits
those who do come here as sycophants,
who will not abondon cherished prin
ciples and become mere hypoc"101
parasites.
Southern men ! let us have done with
this. Wilmington Post.

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF CON
SUMPTION. The primary cause of Con
sumption is derangementiof the digestive
organs This derangement produces defi
cient nutrition and assimilation. By assi
milation I mean that process by which the
nutriment of the food is converted into
blood, and thence into the solids of the body.
Persons with digestion thus impaired,
having the slightest predisposition to i ul
monary disease, or if they take cold, will be
very liable to have Consumption of the
Lungs in some of its forms; and I hold that
it will be impossible to cure any case of
Consumption without first restoring a good
digestion and healthy assimilation. The
very first thing to be done is to cleanse the
stomach and bowels from all diseased mu
cus and slime, which is clogging these or
so that they cannot perform their functions,
and then rouse up and restore the liver to a
healthy action. For this purpose the surest
and best remedy is Schenck's Mandrake
Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and
bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that
is causing disease and decay in the whole
system. They will clear out the liver of all
diseased bile that has accumulated there,
and rouse it up to a new and healthy action,
by which natural and healthy bile is secre
ted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus
cleansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake
Pills ; but there remains in the stomach an
excess of acid, the organ is torpid and the
appetite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are
weak, and requi ing strength and support.
It is in condition like this that Schenck's
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valua
ble remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline,
and its use will neutralize all excess of acid,
making the stomach sweet and fresh ; it will
give permanent tone to this important or
gan, and create a good hearty appetite, and
prepare the system for the first process of a
good digestion, and ultimately make good,
healthy, living blood. After this prepara
tory treatment, what remains to cure most
cases of Consumption is the free and perse
vering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the sys
tem, purifies the blood, and is readily ab
sorbed into the circulation, and thence dis
tributed to the diseased lungs. There it ri
pens all morbid matters, whether in the
form of abscesses or tubercles, and then as
sists Nature to expel all the diseased matter,
in the form of free expectoration, when
once it ripens. It is then, by the great heal
in and purifying properties of Schenck's

give Nature the, assistance she needs to clear
