KAIi AMI F.UIMKUS 8hort Talks With 1ho Mi the Plou. a Who Gui ie tall tali, ri.owixi;. d land lie plowed in S h o u l Tins one of the plroblt -ma it seems dillicult for farmers to set tle. Nort hern :md Kngli-ih fanners advocate fall plowing. Southern writers fvllowmp in t heir wake do the same tiling But. as we have often ur-ed, eireamsi.'.tiees alter C ises ; and it does not f.dlnw th it what is best at the north is also best at the south. Climat ie differ ences between the two localities are great, and c mnot be ignored. Two aspects of the matter demand attention. First, equalizing woi k, not crow ing it too much in spring. Second, effects upon condition and productiveness id' the soil itself. A t t he iht; h spi ing oieti !,f e : the is froen and often c vered v ltu snow till Aiitil. Laud must lie prt ared and 1 as crops plan ted as ' soon as possible proper condition alter it gets in in older to make ' lie growing seaon as loiii as pos- sible. Hein e, a lare amount of work has to be crowded into a lew weeks. Any portion of it. there fore, which can be done in the fall :s a great relief to the northern firmer. It gives him more time in the spring enab.es him to start off his crop earlier. This may fully offset some objection to tail plow ing. But the case is diffeient with the southern farmer. He can pre- : pare his I uid more or less all through the winter. I; s seldom covered with snow and o ilv oc casionally locked up in lee. So. with the southern lainier, the mat ter turns entirely upon the com parative effects of fail and spring plowing upon the mechanical con dition and productiveness of the soil. As a rule, tall plowing bene tits land in cold climates. The up turned furrow flice becomes frozen 1 the entire depth, and when it I thaws, is left mo.-t t hoi oughly pul verized more thoroughly than , ; plow and roller and harrow can make it. This migh. and dOe .-ornetimes, taky place in a south ern climate, but with this difference. At the north the thawing occurs late in the spring, and just when the farmer is ready to plant hi. i seed aud begin the working of hi. i Crop. At the south the thawing j may take place at any time; the soil is icelocked seldom longer thau a week or t wo at a i lme. And what is more, these Ireezes alternate usually ;as spring approaches) with heavy rams, which beat down and pack the loosened earth again. The .-oil at the south is, as a rule, ipuite devoid ot' vegetable matter, aud hence easil packed that of the north is tided wfrh vegetable mat ter and less affected by raius. Viewed from any p inf. fall j.dow ing does no harm at the north; it generally does good. Vere con ditions the same a" the sou'h, we should unhesitatingly advocate fall plowing here abo. November aud December are comparatively leisure months. Plow stcck is not bus aud plow hands are available. The weather is pleasant aud generalls tue ground is ui tine plowing con dition. The subsoil is still com paratively dry. Towards spring it is apt to be wet, even when the surface soil is dry enough for the plow aud much harm is olteu done by overlooking this fact. But these advantages tire more than offset, generalls speaking, by the evil effects of our copious winter raius. These beat down, pack aud run together a lreshly plowed soil, until it becomes harder and more dis posed to break up in clod, than laud which has not been plowed since the crop, of the preceding summer were laid by. Why this is so, is not apparent, but that it is a fact no observant farmer will de ny, it is more marteu in old j mds ,ban -Q ,resh iu tho desjtitute of vegetable matter, than those abounding in it. Hence, freh ,an(1 caa by piowed in the (-tl, wuh gre.lter irapUuitv thau old. r , u b f i n saying ttiat mue-tentus ot the troubles of our southern farmers come directly or indirectly from the absence of humus in the soil, j Another objection to fall plowing , at the south controuts us when we I consider its effects upon the vego I table matter on the land, such as weeds, grass, stubble, etc. Iu our , mild climate vegetable matter i buried in the soil during the fall months undergoes more or less de composition till through the winter, and a pait of the resulting soluble compounds are liable to be leached out b ihe spring rains before the summer crops cau appropiiate them. Experience has shown that ; the best results from such vege table matter are obtained when it rots slowly and continuously through tliK growing season. Food i is thus supplied from day to day to the growing plants, just as they ueed it. The carbonic acid gene r tted is constantly acting upon the other ingredients of the soil and making them available, whilst the plants stand ready to appropriate them. Spring plowing starts the decomositiou of' the vegetable matter at the right time. It then keeps equal pace with the growing crops and feeds them day by day. Again, the liabilility to wash, is increased by fall plowing; the fresh ly loosened soil is more easily car ried off by running water. Every one has noticed the disastrous ef fects of heavy rams upon recently plowed land. Great swaths are often cut through it to the full depth to which it litis been broken. A suggestion at this point. In plowing alway s lif t the plow over washes aud small gullies Plowing through them only loosens the dirt and prepares it to be earned off by the next rain. Lift the plow and let an trash collected on it tall into the wash and help to till it up. So much for general considera tion . Are there any facts. Unfortunately very lew direct ex periments to test the matter have been made, or at least published. Mr. D ivid Dickson has put on re cord h s experience, lie sometimes left uuplowed strips through fields plowed iu the fall. These strips; were broken iu the spring, lie states that in dry, cold winters fall plowing gave best results, bat that such seasons did not occur, on an average, more than on?e in seven years. In the other six, spring plowing gave best results. If a firmer has sufficient stock to or do his plowing in the spring, with out getting behind hand in his work, let him defer it till spring. If he has not a sufficiency, let him choose between two evils and take the lesser. Lt him plow in the fall such 1 it.d as has most vegetable matter on it - tiffclays rather than light soiK Let him ridge hi.-! Kid. leaving the surface rough and well exposed to frost and air; and let him provide, by furrows at proper intervals, for rapiil escape of sur face water. A tlat. smooth surface is that which packs, bakes and crusts most. W. L. .1.. in Atlanta Constitution. RAILROADING. Editor of the Star: It appears to me that all vho are acquainted witl what has been attempted and what his been accomplished m the way of internal improvements in this State, as well as the different roads under contract, and that;ee:n likely to be soon constructed can not fail to see the importance and necessity of ha ing the Noi th Caro lina and the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroads united and operated as one road from Charlotte to Morehead City under a lease, with all necessary and proper re strictions for a term of ninety nine years to the Richmond ov Danville Railroad. All who are well posted as to what is doing and will soon be done, cannot fail to see that such a step should be taken at as early a day as possible. If this is not done, I cannot see how it is possible to pre vent great and lasting injury being done to the roads in question and to many of our towns, cities and to' the State general. I am largely interested in our railroad-, and I have been driven to this conclusion from stubborn . faotsjth at nave been force,1, on mv attention . If we wish the above roads to contnbute the greatest good pos sible to our people ! he consolidat ion and lease should certainly be made and that at an eaily day. Such was the design of those who first pro jected the Central Railroad lrom Beaufort harbor to the Tennessee line, and their purpose should be carried out, and can only be done by adopting the dan 1 have sug gested. Time and experience have con clusively demonstrated in this and most of the other States and that at the cot of untold millions, that improvements of no kind, cost or length, can be prudently and profit ably managed by o-tate officials appointed tv partizan legislators or State officials, however patriotic or gifted they may be. The Cape Fear c Yadkin Valley ; Raill oad is soou destined I hope to , bo extended to W lhningtou, and to the Virginia line, there to connect with the Norfolk & Western Rail road. When this important con uectiou is made it will open a long and direct line ot road from Pulaski City to Wilmington, which will pass through as tine and productive a country as is to be found south of the Ohio river. When the road and its branches are all completed and fully equipped the freight that will be crowded on it lrom the great coal and iron mines and furnaces of western Virginia, to say nothing of the lum her and other articles of freight that will be offered for transporta tion along the line, will soon stir prise the most sanguine of its friends. Iu one word, the two roads will be the great North Carolina State highways that are soon destined to tell with great power upon the growth and prosperity of our State and people. So, in order that every part of the State may share in the ; great benefits that may by good management be made to flow from these two general lines of improve ment. New Berne if she is wise will exert herself to the utmost to have a railroad speedily constructed lrom Wilmington to her owu wharves there to connect witUthe above named roads, which if man aged as they should be, will do alp that can now be done by such im provements for our State. The Seaboard system is essential-: Iy a Norfolk system, and the road ; now under contract from Hender -i son via Danville, Madison, Win-; stou, Wilkesboro, Taylorsville to1 Charlotte, promises to do as little for the commercial growth and prosperity of North Carolina as they do to benefit and enhance the value and prosperity of the North Carolina Railroad from Charlotte to Goldsboro and still less for the Atlantic and North Carolina and New Berne road. A lull and useful survey of all that is going on in the State it seems to me, cannot fail to con vince auv and all well informed minds that the policy I have above attempted in a hurried way to de j scribe, is the only one that can be adopted that will prevent great harm coming to my native State. North Carolina. Wilmington Star. YYaired to Kind the Edit u A sullen lookingjman with a liorse whip. entered a Nebraska newspa per office and asked the boy where1 the editor was.

The early settlers made treat ni'stake and neelectel these swamps, so rich with the drainage and lertilny of ihe upland aud their own alluvium: but is now well under stood that this aoil is just what cottotj and corn, the North Carolina staphs, require, and there isi no doubt llm the present generation of planters must re nounce the error if cotton and c orn planti.'.vC is to continue prutitable. Mas-racbu-i tts and other States made tries samu mistake until their bogs and swamp ponds were drained, sown with cranberries, the water raised or lowered by a dam and waste-gate, and the fever breeding 'cranberry bor:s" were turned into sources of wealth "Ten barrels of corn per acre is a fair estimate for swamp-land yield." said a Riehlands farmer the other day who had draiued seventy-live acres. Looking at it in that liht. who can estimate the valua to tue county and State of the negl-cted thousands cf acres lying waste alon. the roed and through Craven county from Washing ton to New Berne' L it too much to say. that it would be much greater than that of all other lands now cultivated'.' Passfog along we reach the great for est with its thick bed of grasses, its wealth of timb-.-r. its fertile toils and level farm sites Hogs and c-Ule roam and breed at will from March to Janu ary. The tar and turpentiDe makers have found it a paradise where none molested or made th.m afraid. But a change has come. A railroad from New tierno to Washington is projected. Speculators have bought up the timber ou these lands for tueen years, and the tar and turpentine men lind themselves warned. Tneir occupation, like Othel lo's, ia gone. The farmers aud other landowners co-incide with the lurcen tine and tar makers. It was a wrontr course. W ho wants the land where other, can come in at will and haul away the timber, the lessee or occupant to be without it'.' A general condemna tion results, for the settlement of the pine woods tract is undoubtedly post poned. Same owners have withdrawn from their agreement and the timber speculators have lost their hold propor tionably ; but there is stiil a question of the right of a man to do what he chooses with his own property when his action is against public interests. Nor are the pine wood forest lands the only tracts where the timber hss been sold. "'Swamp lands." so called, and upland timber tracts everywhere along the surveyed line are included. Thus other settlements and their adji cent landowners have and are discuss ing the problem w ith a spirit cal:ulated to array prejudice agaiiu t tho railroad enterprise. Quite novel and new to the Northern visitor are the notched mile posts a thing worthy of imitation any where with their Roman letters indicating distance from Washington, and the tip pole wells, so much superior to the windlass and rope or jolting chain of the North: the figure 8 sprmg-stave pickets for garden fences, where no nails are needed : and line fence forest trees where cattle may seek the shade when the sultry, hot days of summer nre oppressive Beyond the forest the far stretching village of Vanceboro appeared with its fine fields of cotton and corn a welcome sight to the eye: its nea: and comfort able homes, stores, etc.. a contrast to the primitive cabins of the foiest ett tlers. 100. was the reply of a wag in answer to our qupry concerning its population.
