AGRICULTURAL.

The South—Fa The Kiclnuond Farmer recently advert-

[cfr to the labor question at the South, in /^n'n' able and well-tempered article—reLilg'reHul for the immediate past, but buoyant and hopeful for the not remote future.

The period since the close of the politi conflict which overturned the entire industrial system of tho. States, hna been if 'itoo brief to deterniiuo what effects these changed relations arc to produce, but experience so far tends to a conclusion favorable to a gradual substitution of white labor for that of the colored {population. .1 It is .proposed, where the means of the white immigrant? are sufficient for the ipurpose, to divide the larger plantations into small farms to be made over to the laborers in part payment for their service ou the remainder. Where means of immediate payment are wanting, the tenant system is proposed, with the understanding that a clear title is to be given wheu Y|i a specified sum is paid. In this way it is -, expected a full supply of desirable and reliable labor will be obtained and the ,'jJ population be made to increase in a ratio equal to the necessities for it, •.

Winter Pigs. "Berkshire'' writes the Western llural lu favor of winter dropped pigs. Those dropped in .lauuary, Vebruan and March he regards as more valuable to the farmer than any other, though it is conceded that greater care in raising them is required than for those dropped late in the spring or during the summer months. The advantage claimed for early pigs is that they will not require to be kept over but will be ready to kill early the sue. eeeding winter, and if properly tended will average 1500 to 350 pounds each, taking a lot of' a hundred or more. I'igs dropped early will require extra care, but it happens, says the writer, to be at precisely that season of the year when the farmer has the most leisure to attend to tWu 'wants and the means to provide for

them.

Card the Animals. Every person wlio has practiced carding his cuttle at .stated times will have notic-

its might be expected ,: his cattlo

wer

kind of crescent line

having a leaso'of about seven hundred miles. The southern flank is supposed g'lto be re.'caided in its movements by climatic 'influences, and the uorthern one by '•£J "^position of the lakes in the direct path of advance. They first became common and annoying at Madison, "Wis., and vicinity, during the last sumu,Cr. Their advance is at the rate of 25 ,)r 150 miles a je*r-

.v ProSPi of Hens. Iruman Ingalls, Albany, Co., Btates the result of keeping sixty fowls of mix- ,, ed breeds for the past year. During the year they were fed one hundred bushels of ears of corn, with the addition of sour

in tllc

months of June and July.

From Jan. 1st, 18GC, to the same date 1867, seven hundred and six (TOG) dozen

eggs

were sold for §177 eight dozen were set and fifty used in the family. Forty chickens were raised. The value of eggs and chickens was $209,50. Cost of feed

860. Profits §149,50. Mr. I. estimates f£.i that the hen nianuro. applied to corn iu the hill will increase the yield of the crop sufficient to furnish food for the 7 fowls.

Corn In the Ear-Weight of Cob. Arthur Ti. Cole, Downer'H Grove, 111., writes us that "After scvrral experiments in testing the weight of corn, I am convinced that the cobs of 5G lbs, of shelled corn will weigh from 10 to 12 lbs. One instance:—rl weighed 39 Jbs. corn before »'shelling when shelled the corn weighed 33 lhe.r and the cobs 6 lbs." Mr. C. ,»&ould have stated whethor the cobs were thoroughly dry or not.

feeding Poultry. S1 The Mark Lane Express stales that ^Onions are a great advantage to poultry mixed with their food, especially dur/•v ing the winter season, when their custom'JM'y supply of worms is cut off. If fed regularly to the fowls, it is said onions ••vwill shield them from the many diseases which they are exposed, and with vwhich they are so frequently afflicted

Poultht Profits.—Many

persons are

*«'makin^ inquires as to the profitableness "iYof raising poultry on a large scale. Here are son"* figures of profits from a small number of hens. In a recent number of the N. E. Farmer was a communication from Moses Eaton, Jr., of South

Hampton, N. II.j showing the cost of 44 hebs 'atad' their product for one season. The. bens and.their. .keeping amounted to $70.'- They produced eggs--to the value of $74,73 chickens, $49,15 total tales, «124,88. Heus on hand, (44,) 822. Balance in favor of the owner, $75.
