THE SOUTH.

A Northern Resident Gives His Impressions of the Country—lndustrial Enterprises —Mineral and Agricultural Resources. (From Our Special Correspondent.) For several years past the tide of emigration has been to the west ' Westward ho! has been the watchword. The advice of Horace Greely has been faithfully applied. The building of new railroads to the Pacific coast has been a motive power in pushing the home seekers toward the setting sun. Other portions of the Union, especially ihe South,have been passed by in the eager haste of the multitude to locate upon the treeless and trackless west ern plains. Even the rigor of the Dakota climat-% the certainty of six months winter have not served to deter people from the westward course, or cause them to pause and inquire if there were not a country nearer home, close to good markets, favored with short and mil-d winters, and long, cool summers.

This tendency of emigration has been due to the existence of slavery in the South, before the war, and the turbulent condition of. society since. It has also been given an impetus by thousands of flaming circulars flaunted to the breeze at every railroad station, announcing to seekers of new homes the golden opportunities of! the Vest. No device that the ingenuity of the American nature could conjure has been passed by that might aid in! iducing people to go west. The, south has beeL advertised but j little. Scourgod by war, beat ! en at every point, deprived of home and property, the sentiment for a time in some por-; tions of the-country was to re- ■ pel northern settlers and nor-' them progressiveness. Witnessing the rapid development of the north, othe southern people have seen the folly of such a command are receding from their hostile attitude toward those who would settle in their midst, giving ready encouragement-to.all who will come. In this respect a great change has been wrought in the southern mind within a few years; and the encouragement given to new settlers has resulted in a remarkable development of the (mineral, manufacturing, and agricultural resources of the south, Numerous cotton anills, iron furnaces, and other anechanical industries have been recently « established, especially in Ten- ' nessee: and notably at Rockv wood, Dayton, (Chatanooga, >and Knoxville in East Tenne s--see. These are rapidly growing into cities. Here the factory has Ibeen built beside tthe farm: and the farmer is provided with a market at hindoor.— •Good prices are paacbfor his products at home. As regards the natural resources for manufacturing purposes, capital has decided that they exist here peannanear%. The agricultural resources also are being developed, ana the large returns for laborand capital expended in this direction are beginning to dawn in the minds of those in search of farming lands.— Especially is this true of the Cumberland plateau, a strip of country of fifty miles *n width, extending across the State from north to south, and having an elevation of 2,008 feet above tide water. Here is a favored region, consisting of a sandstone formation; its soil a clayey loam, moderately mixed with sand; containing springs of pure freestone water, many of them of acknowledged medicinal virtue: an atmosphere entirely free from malaria, it is a peculiarly healthful region. Of this portion of Tennessee, its agricultural and mineral resources, I will tell you in another letter.

AGRICULTURAL.

Things a Farmer Should Hot Do. A farmer should Dot break up mors land than he can cultivate thoroughly; half-tailed land is always growing poorer, while well-tilled land is constantly improving. A thrifty and prudent farmer will not devote his sole attention to the improvement of certain fields on his farm, because thp land is “easy to work at,” and let other pop tions of his premises go uncultivated, and grow nothing but brush, bogs, briers and stom s. A farmer should never have more cattle, horses or other animal stock than he cau kee-> in good order. An animal in good order at the beginni g of winter is already bull wintered. Nor should he let his c-rutle o: dure the chilling storms of winter in an open yard or held, wh le a few dollars expended wouid amply repay him in saving fodder) and afford her a greater amount of milk. A farmer should never depend too much on his neic*hl >r>rs fm- what he can by careful management pro nice on his own land, lie she; hi -not make it a common pra-.-t <.e to . iih •: buy or beg fruit while he can ph: t lives and cultivate ti em o i Ids own ground— nor annoy his neighbors by burrowing tools , to work with, while he can make or buy them. “The borrowei o servant to the lender.” A farmer should never be so immersed in political matters as to neglect doing his various kinds of work in due season, and to snug up matters and things for winter; nor should he be so inattentive to politics as to remain ignorant of those great questions of na- ; tional and State policy which will j always agit&te more or less a free peoi pie.

A farmer should not be continually I borrowing his neighbor’s newspaper, fl while he can easily save money enough, I by curtailing some little extravagance, , I to subscriba and pay for one or more on j his own. . . 1 A farmer should never refuse a fair j I price for anything he wishes to sell. 1/ m have known men to refuse $1.50 for a\l bushel of wheat, and after keeping it |b five or six months they were glad to get/1 $1 for it. I have known farmers to re-| fl fuse to take a fair marketable price foil ■ their dairies of butter, and after keep-l* ing it three or four months they copyj eluded to sell the butter for only two** thirds of the price which they were firstlH offered. “A bird in the hand is worth** two in the bush.” .11 A farmer should not allow his wood 11 pile to be reduced down to the “shorts* II merely drawing a little by piecemeal,lll and green at that. He must expect tc»fl encounter the sour looks of his wife anti/® family, and perhaps be compelled (imfl a series of lectures) to learn that the 11 man who provide green wood to burn in 11 winter has not mastered the first rules** of domestic economy. Nor should b>t"fl employ some “blotch” mason to builA ■ his chimney “upside down” so that his /* family will be nearly smoked out of thekV house, and the walls of the room b^ M come as yellow as saffron. .1 A farmer should not let his building- 3|| Look as old as the hills, and go to decay* V while he can easily afford the means tc fl keep them in good repair; nor shouldd* he allow tattered clothes and old hatsj ■ to be stuffed in the windows, in the! ■ place of glass. If he does, he need notti* be alarmed if he acquires the reputation!* of a mean man, or one who tarrieß long, fl where liquor is sold by the glass. ■ A farmer should not be contented! I with dilapidated-looking fences on hh&l farm, so as to tempt his cattle to beH* come unruly and destroy his crops,} I while he has plenty of opportunities trf fl make or keep them in repair, fl I-ai-iu Notes. fl In answer to inquiries why hens law H soft-shell eggs, it may be stated that fl 1 the difficulty is caused by a lack ol fl | lime. Pounded oyster shells should fl I be within easy reach of the fowls at all fl times. fl In selecting fruit trees look ratheij ■ I to getting good roots than a large top, fl | A small, well-shaped tree, with good fl roots, will soon outstrip a large one fl with an insufficient root, and will make,* a thriftier tree all the way along. (fl Where the bark has been gnawed ojj K scraped off from a tree the new barb fl may be made to grow again by covering fl the denuded place with clay. It hat fl been made to grow in this way withouj H leaving a scar even. Chicago To every barrel of flour (19t5 pounds fl there is about forty pounds of bran.
