THE FARMERS’ COLUMN/
Farm Notes for April.—This is a busy
month for the farmer. The operations for
seed planting are fairly begun. If oats were
not sown last month they should certainly be
sown this month, and the earlier the better.
The straw grows too rapidly, if the seed is
sown late, and the crop will be an abundant
yield of straw—which will probably lodge_
and a small quantity and inferior quality of
seed.
Potatoes should be planted this month, par
ticularly by those raising them for market in
the vicinity of cities. We plant our-second
crop the latter part ot June, depending upon
the early fall rains to bring them out. Pota
toes must have a good deal of moisture to
yield well, and either early or late planting
must be practiced to get good returns.
The soil for potatoes should be rich. New
ground is preferable. No crop is more im
proved by good manuring. Potatoes should
never be planted two years in succession on
the same ground. The subsoil is of very
great advantage to the crop, and the increase
in the yield when used will well pay the ex
pense of using it. The ground should be got
in the best possible condition ; should be light
and thoroughly pulverized. We plant in drills
three feet apart—dropping the pieces about
nine inches apart in the drill—covering pretty
deeply with a one horse plow. Just as the
potatoe sprouts are beginning to show them
selves, wc go over the drills with an inverted
harrow—the upper part of the teeth protrud
ing about two inches. The ground is render
ed smooth; the weeds arc set hack and de
stroyed, and the potatoe plants thus get the
start of them; and, by good after-culture,
keep it. A\ e cut our potatoes in three or
four pieces or more, getting at least two good
eyes in each piece. We have met with good
success iu cultivating this crop, and give our
method of cultivation.
Plowing.—A great deal of plowing will
be done this month. Land should not be
plowed under any consideration that is not in
the proper condition. Land should not be
plowed when it is wet or clammy. It should
crumble freely More crops are injured by
working the soil when wet than one is aware
of. Fields are so injured sometimes by plow
ing when wet that they don’t get over the in
jury for years. The soil becomes lumpy,
hard, baked, will not pulverize freely, and
plants cannot grow freely. Farmers, then,
will consult their best interests by keeping
their teams off their fields, unless the ground
is sufficiently dry. Many farmers have so
much plowing to do that they think they can
not stop their teams after a heavy rain; but
they are practicing a false economy by setting
lliUlU IU VVOIK.
Fruit trees should now be planted, and as
early as practicable. Put out a good, young
orchard, and when it conies into bearing it
will increase the amount of your happiness.
W bat a blessed privilege it is to have an
abundance of good fruit at all seasons ! Be
sure to plant for family enjoyment a couple
dozen of currants, gooseberries, blackberries,
etc. They will cost but little and cause the
good lady of the house to wear a pleasant
smile all the season. Now is the time to pro
cure and plant all these. Send to some relia
ble. well-known nursery immediately for these
things, and plant them carefully, and they
will reward you.
Harrowing lightly winter wheat and barley
is a good plan. Many doubt this, but if tliey
will try it on a small portion of a field they
will discover its beneficial results. Where the
wheat has been somewhat heaved out by win
ter freezing, going over it with a heavy roller
is a good plan.
Stock should not be allowed to go out too
early, especially on newly seeded pastures.
Keep all stock from the meadow. 11' you
have any well-rotted manure, and your mead
ow does not yield well, spread it over the sur
face. The manure will leave its mark.
Spring wheat and barley should be put in
early this month.
The dooryard should not be forgotten. As
sist in putting it in fine order; procure roses,
flowering plants, evergreens, shade trees, and
plant out in pleasant groups about the yard.
Clean out the cellar, remove all decaying
vegetables; open the windows, and scatter
lime over the cellar bottom, and you may save
yourself and family a spell of sickness. A
foul cellar is a most prolific cause of sickness.
CoitN Citor.—We have made extensive in
quiry among the planters and farmers of Jef
ferson and Arkansas counties, and learn that
as a general thing, a greater proportion of
corn is planted by them than ever before. A
planter from Arkansas county informed us
that he would have 3,00U bushels of corn
more than he could use from the crop of last
year, yet he should plant more largely of it
this year. Corn is now selling from 85c to
81 00 per bushel. During the past week
about 13,000 bushels have been brought to
Fine Bluff to be sold on commission by the
sack. \\ e are encouraged to sec this exten
sive preparation to raise the necessaries of
life. We will need all the produce that can
be raised ; if our political troubles continue
we will stand greatly in need of it, and if
peace is restored, the streams of navigation
that have been checked by the hard times
will begin to flow again into our land, which
will greatly increase the demand for supplies.
[Pine Bluff Nows.
Crop Prospect in Texas.—The Austin
Gazette of the 16th says: “ We learn from
our country friends that the ground is in ex
cellent condition for planting this year. It is
probable that we will he blessed with abun
dant crops this season. The farmers have
prudently divided their enclosed lands be
tween corn, cotton and small crops. It is best
not to rely cutirelv upon a single crop, llad
this policy not been adopted during the
droughty years, our country wuuld have re
ceived very little injury from them, but pro
visions would have abounded, and the immi
gration maintained.”
Pine Bluff Horse Market.—Our mar
ket, says The Pine Bluff’ News, continues to
attract the horse and mule drovers of Missouri.
A large number have been disposed -of the
past six months. There are now on the mar
ket here some four droves, with fair sales the
past week. Eight horses were disposed of on
Saturday for upwards of 8100 each. Pine
Bluff, we are informed by the drovers, is the
best market in the State. Planters in the
neighboring counties are often visiting our
city for purchases. Some fifty droves have
arrived here, the year past, of horses and
mules.
A Hint to Gardeners.—The latest in
vention is an instrument to prevent poultry
from scratching up the ga? Jens. It is some
thing like a long spur attached to the hind
part of a rooster’s leg. The instrument is so
arranged that when the fowl is about to scratch
the earth, the spur catches in the ground be
fore the foot has fairly descended, and obliges
it to bring its foot down quickly and harm
lessly in front of the place where it aimed at.
Th<* fowl therefore tries the other foot w ith a
like result. It keeps on trying, and before it
is aware of it. the machine has walked it right
out of the garden.
The western papers speak encouragingly
of the fine prospect of the wheat crop. A
Texas paper says the prospect of a good
wheat crop in that State is excellent.

11 U'ES Coming.—The sudden appearance
of oil in such immense quantities, in regions
where it could not liaveexisied but a short
time, has given rise to a very alarming theory
—alarming to si.me people as to its cause.
The latest and most feasible one (says the
Richmond Enquirer) is that the internal fire
of earth, known to exist, are making their
way to the surface, where in accordance with
the prophecy, • the elemeiijs arc to melt with
fervent heat.'’ The caloric from this subtera
nean fire has just reached the coal strata, and
the oil which forms the igneous portion of
that carbonic compond is driven from it, and
forced by superincumbent pressure to occupy
fissures and the softer formations of the earth
below, until relieved by apertures from the
surface, Those living in the coal regions and
nearest Hades, of course find oil first. Watch
and pray.

The Kentucky Giant Outdone.—Last
week we had the honor of a visit from a
Franklin county giant, who we dare say
throws the celebrated Jim Porter into the
shade. He stood six feet, eleven inches in
his socks, and looking into his face was like
looking up to the peak of a mountain, lie
informed us that every merchant in town had
called him in, in order to measure and weigh
him—his weight turning out to be 200
pounds. His name is X. A. Jackson, son of
R. Jackson. lie is certainly the tallest man
living, not only in Franklin county, hut in
Mississippi. [Vicksburg Fun.
-— ♦ »»■-—
Florida as a Cotton State.—The cen
sus of I860 gives Florida 15 131 bales of
cotton. The census of 1800 gives her 185,
720 bales, an increase of over four hundred
per cent., and nearly fifty per cent a year for
the last ten years. Most of this cotton is long
staple. We have no doubt but that in ten
years more we will raise over 1,000,000 bales.
We have 75,000 square miles, and can say,
within the bounds of reason, that there is
enough land here, suitable to cotton, to keep
500,000 negroes employed in its culture.
