UIV vr? ??v Poor Southern Farmer. Editors Southern Cultivator : ?1 wrl^ . give my j plans in detail ^ lor* improving the condition of the poor Southern farmer. Divide the i.irm into.ttrfce fields?prlantNo. 3 in corn, sowing clover, and No. 3 in cotton, China Cane, potatoes, <fec- Tlie next year let grain fob* low corn, cottoD follow grain, and corn follow cotton. The corn should l?e sown in stock peas tlie last to the last plowing. We s.houldalso : have meadows of Timothy and Herds grass, or others that will do His well, arid woodland lots in winter grass, blue, orchard, vernal gross, &c. Rye makes good winter pastures on poor land, but has to W-sown annually. If-the summer range is not sufficient, bermuda grftTss Ihtrfee! the best in summer, . and,ifnot grazed in summerstock can subsist on it in winter. Every man running as man}' as two plows should have a reaper?after cuK ting grain, turn in the hogs and stack: that cannot subsist on the ratsga? and keep them there nntil ymi gather corn, then pnt^them in tho cornfield.- Turn tMidey clOveY : sod immediately for cotton and all hoed crops. When frost comes finish fattening your hogs with potatoes and grouud peas. A great deal of these may he allowed to consume in the field. Turn your guttle into the winter pasture, and tstqclc-Irogs to the range:, or woodland pasture for the mast, which will rarely ever fail there. Sow , grain with clover in your corn field ar:d pick your pitch of cotton and realize, as you should, twenty cents for it. .Under this system our , fund;crops and profits will improve every year. Of course all manure , should be carefully saved ana ?p; plied l*:re most needed. Improved , implements, seeds and stock should ; lie used extensively to make the system, thorough and more effect* ive'?- Under this arrangement we would not need more than half the labor now employed, and would practically do away with the present cry for labor. By keeping * enough stock to consume all bay, grain, pastures, Ac., we would have ;a plputy-of> moles, pork, bacon, beef, mutton, and ; wool to .sell? also enough of king cotton to bring the present incomh*und tridre.' * By this system we would dignify the labor and the farm, the former l?y paying more for it, the latter by making it more remunerative.

Tanning Leather.?Editors of Southern Cultivator.?I send yon precipe for tanning leather, which may prove useful to any farmer who is not acquainted witli it*? Soak the hide 8 orl) days in wav, ter, then put it in lime, and let it remain about the same length of time; take it out, and remove the hair by rubbiDg fit, and soak in clear water until the lime is entirely out. Vut one ft>- ofalum to threo of salt, dissolve in a vessel sulliciently large to hold the hide; soak the hide in it three qrfour days, then take it out, let it get, half dry, and then -beat or rub it until at becomes pliable. Leather prepared -by this process, will hot do so well for shoes,, but answers well for hame 6tringsj back bands, and various other purposes on the larm, . . _ A. . Benton," Ala; ? ' -v Charred J Vegetable Matter as a Manure.-* tW 1st ? .. The old English system of "paring and burning"?about which we may have something to say hereafter, has. lately been in a measure revived and. mpdo.the subject of a patent-right, in one of . our neighboring States. ' "it is prepared by the slow burning of pine-straw, leaves, and other vegetable matter, under a layer of -_V J - S A ' ' ' . yu 7 ;" earth; by which the mass becomes impregnated with the smoke;and gaseous products of combustion, producing a manure of remarkable strength and efficacy* It not only stimulates vegetation like guano, but, unlike guano, it permanently benehts jhe soil. Its cheapness and the facility with which it is made, commend it to every farmer and landowner. "We -claim that this discovery is destined to add millions of dollars to the agricultural wealth of tbe.country, especially the South and West. It successfully solves the problem of a cheap and abundant fertilizer. An incidental advantage of this process is that it effectually de stroys the germs of noxious weeds and insects, which abound in most organic manures, like baro-yard compost) etc., and thereby detract from their unity. It is made ready for use in a far shorter time than rotted compost, and the material is not limited like that of animal manure. ; SHANNON & LINING. Attorney's at Law Ac. CAMDEN, S. C.

Ayer's Hair Vigor, For restoring Cray Hair to > its natural Vitality and Color. aA A dressing which. is at pnee agreeable, healthy, and effectual ywjfiflSKt for preserving tho ' hair. faded or grrry ^a*r*sso-??rcstorc^ freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling bair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where tbo follicles arc destroyed, or the elands atronhied and decayed. But eucIi aa remain can ho saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a nasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair i fijom turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances wfjich make some preparations dangerous, and , injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, 9 i nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts ; long on the hair, giving It a rich, glossy : lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
