It is with much pride and gratification that we publish Dr. Parker's report of the extraordinary production of 200 bushels and 12 quarts of corn from one acre. Who does not feel proud of his success in being the largest producer nf cojm in the whole world ??And what true "Ckrolini an does not (eel elated at such a glori ! ous triumnh iu the field of agriculture ? It was ii proud day for Sout h Carolina and for the sue Cessful, competitor, wheli it was publicly announced at the date .annual Fair ?>f our State AgriculturalSocietj', that Dr. Parker had pio | d'-u ed from one acre of land, '200 bushels and i 1*2 quarts?the largest product or. record. We j believe that 190 bushels is the largest product heretofore reported, and this, if we mistake n->t, on some of the rich lands of the valley of Mississippi; but this greater, proc net was made in the neighborhood "f the Town of Columbia, | a region not remarkablo for fertility of soil, r His success, therefore, must have been owing, | us is seen irom ins report, to n ntglj system of j manuring mid a d?ep and thorough preparation I of the I at.d. .But .to whatever it mav have been -oxvii??r, he is entitled to the credit of being the largest producer of-corn in the whole world. If it had been a discovery in science, a new planet or aetoroiifin the soiursystern or a new principle in incchaijics, or sum* b'on-?t?*fl effort ?>f literary genius, or some great military exploit, such as the seige of Sel?.vtopo}, it Would have, been liemlded through the world with all the pomp and parade usually" awarded to such ~ L>..a. . i. * . _.i < A i ... a.'jiuf \ t*iiiTiu>. jumji lilt* m>[>iMt*g cm uih piuw ?re not wont to be so blitaoued; they are usual i \ found in the vmhe'el ohseurity, with none to herald their dec-cis to the world. But who ate the real benelactors of mankind ? .We are told "thev who can make two ears of corn or two blades of grass grow where only one grew Ihjforc." Take the simple proposition, that the productions earth can lie doubled by good culture, "&>ul what an amount of increased supply of human u'ant and eoulfort would be produced, What an increase to the profits of agricultural capital, of individual and national wealth. But the experiment of l)r. Barker goes greatly beyond doubling th ? ordinary productions of our hinds. Take the aver^p- production o! tlie lauds of the State at 20 hu-IieU per acre ? his is ten liaies gi-ater?and as we fail below, as many of i?jfcire in the habit of doing on our old lands, the ra'io is increased in the same proportion.

But as this was an extraordinary production, let us double the quantity of land, and say that 20 acres can he made to pieJuce [.20(H) bushel-, or J00 bushels to the acre, and j who can doubt this, \vh mi it has been so fre pquentlv realized.

It is too apparent and pa1 pah let o need an\ demonstration.

The system is radically wrong, and must lead to tb<- utter ruin of the whole country, unless corrected. Already its frightful ravages are si-en in the destriftion ofthe be*t lands, and an immense drain ofthe wealth and nopu laiion of our .State, South Carolina would have been infinitely better off if a Chinese wall had i. ii." i i. it i mii immueu uer ooroers auu kcjii ner i?opirini,i"u | within h"r territory. for their demand lor land would have taught her people tho value of it. lhey would not have wasted, worn out ami thrown it away as the last and present generation have done. But we trust that like great moral e^iIs, the very excess has brought about a remedy. W'e are now driven to the necessity either to emigrate or "root hog or die." Let us imitate the example of that animal whose instinct teaches them to burrow deep in the bowels of the earth for subsistence. Let in pi down into the lower strata of the soil, into the sutisnil not vet reached l?y our plows, or the roots of the plants we cult ivat *. There is yet a mine of riches and of fertility, which our skinning culture has not reached. There, in tho^e lov\er ru-doiis, is to be found tlio leached inanuies of the top soil that has escaped the evaporation of the sun and the washing rains that have swept nil'the surlace ; and lower vet may be found those inorganic or mineral me? ? ? ???

If, then, we would profit by our own melancholy experience and the exam- i j)le of other countries more advanced in agrieul-' ture.we will abandon our Urge field system of culturo, reduce our crops at least one-half, prepare our land" throughly by-manuring and deep plowing, eradicate all noxious weeds?those vampires that suck out the very vitals of our soil (our friends -Broomsedge anJ Laurens will excuse the strong expression we use against their favorite pels,) and our life for it, we shall fill our barn3 and granaries full to overflow ing. j Farmer and Plantct. \ ? ? Carrots for Stock. Can anything he better as Winter fond for all kinds of animals, than this familiar roct?-? We have used it for seveial years willi most gratifying results. It is not only useful as a 'relish' with other food, as apples and vegela. bles are for mankind in the W inter, hut it con. tains valuable nourishing properties, and may he used as an alternating substitute' for other' - " - I- I | food. We nre not surprised 10 .warn mat me keepers rff -livery stables in cities ire beginning to use carrots for horse food. They hold that a peck of -carrots and a peck of outs are better. f<?r a horse than two pecks of oats. . All animals require for their health and.comfort green food to mix with their dry fodder, and their winter bill of fare is deficient, if it does not include. .carrots. Ve have the report of an experiment made by a careful farmer to test I lie relative value of several kinds of food for milch cows, with the following general result: Three pounds of carrots equal to one poumd of hay. This would make three tons of carrots equal to one ton of hay?i. e. producing milk; but for fattening purposes, \v? should place the carrot nearer upon >i par with hay. Tins also i.i true of it, that it yields iarger crops iliao the polaloe, is moie nutritious, is better adapted to this climate than ruta-baga turn'ps, cr n be more | readily and better kepi through the winter, and is more easily prepared fur feeding, as it doe? not require boiling or steaming, uiile-'s it be lor swine We sometimes meet in our exchanges, with various recipes f'<r coloring; '-Vinteroufde butter n rich golden hue, like grass made butter.; but we believe the best ivay to .-tecum plish this is by feeding the cows on good orange carrots, and leave to them the work of coloring the butter. The Culture is not difficult. Give the ground a liberal manuring with well decompm red dung, and if to this U added a mixt ure of muck ir chip dirt, it \viil*help the matter. Of course the plowing and harrowing must he. thoroughly done. Sow in drills two feet apart, if for horse tillage ; if dor.e with the hand, at less distance. Sow when the Soil is a little moist, and press the earth finniy over the seed.

It embellishes an interior face and redeems an ugly one. A smile, however, should not become habitual; insipidity is the result; nor should tho mouth break into a smile on one side, the other remaining passive and unmoved, for this imparts an air of deceit and grotesqucness t-> the face. A disagreeable smile distorts the line of beauty, and is more ^ repulsive than a frown. There are many kin.Is of smiles, each having a distinctive character ?some announce goodness and sweetness? otlieis betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride ? some soften tho countenance by their languishing tenderness?others brighten it by their brilliant and spiritual vivacity. <>azing and pol ing before a mirror cannot aid if. acquiring beautiful smiles half so well as to turn the gaze inward, to watch that the heart keeps unsullied from the reflection of evil, and illuminated and beautified by sweet thoughts.

Whitlows.?Dr. Guiltier, Professor of thfc Faculty of Medicine at Montuelier. has iust published a letter tit the Abeille Medlcale, in which he describes a peculiar method of stop, ping the progress pf a whitlow in its first stage. A whitlow generally begins with a dull sensation of heat in the affected finger, near the nail; a rose-colored spot marks the seat of disease. This point, when pressed, is painful; the color disappears, and immediately return* after the pressure has ceased. After lihe lapse of a few hours, the pain becomes more permanent, the color darker, and extends over a larger space, while tho skin is swoolen; The pain increases rapidly, but as yet there is no pulsation. This, Dr. Guiltier says, is the pro., per time for applying the remedy. Having slightly wetted the inflamed surface, he pa-sen over the whole of it slowly with a |>encil of lunar caustic, for at least a frtjnute, in order to make sure that the influence of the caustic has penetrated through the cuticle. The nitrate of silver is allowed to dry on the finger. When the skin lias become quite black, the cure is complete. The patient feels u>> pain, not evert an itching sensation, during the operation, and a short lime afterward- the pain of the whit, low disappears, the black skin peels off alter a' few days, and 110 trace is left of tho disorder; If the operation l>? performed after tho pain has become puUative, the latter increases after tho cauterization, hut the throl>9 cease in the course of a few hours, and the cure is effected with equal certainty. Dr. Gninier i* not sure that his reuisdy would produce its effect after the commencement of suppuration; at all events, the cure requires more time. He as-.-I I. . I..- ..... 4*1 I. 4* v.
