Late in April, the rows were drawn off with a shovel plough, pretty deep, and in these furrows the mixture of sand and guano was strewn-leaving nut an acre. about the centtro, to be planted without guano, which I and my inanager, who is a man ofexcellent .judgment, thdoght to be of the same quality as the rest. Beds were thrown up by passing on either side with the same plough, and the cotton was plant ed in chops about twelve inches apart. The ele6t of the guano was manifest by the time the cotton was a week old, and was most marked during the Whole season, and the yield was as. tonishing.

Cure for Cholic in Ilorses. "Messrs Editors: Having read so many incongruous publications this spring, in 'sundry prints, purporting to be remedies for the cure of cholic in hcrses, induces me to oflfer your read. ers the correct treatirient, on purely professional principles, that the lives of many animals, decidedly the most in portant of all others to the farmer, may be thereby spared, which are too often sacrificed through ignorance and mal-treatnent. "Cholic in horses is divided into two varieties, viz: opnismodic and flatulent: the treatment of the two is decidedly diffeerent: the symptois I iieed not detail at, length, as nioit fihr. mets are acqpuainted with thei; suf fice it to siy, tle spamodic variety is attended wth intense pain, recirriig at stated intervals, sudden in its at tack. The flatulent variety is not so painful in its commnienement, but iea staes, togetlher with the abdominal lumpuniite.t; the swelling continues to increase with the duration of the at. tack, the causes I need not mention, for the treatment is the magn!num des ideratnm with farmers. "Spasmodic variety: If the attack be severe, first thing bleed pro re nata, then six drachis of aloes, desolve in one quart warnm water, add to the solution two or three ounces laudanum, with the same quantity spirits of tur pentine, and administer it. Should this in due time fail to give relief. ad minister half the above dose; the belly and loins should be well rubbed and frequently bathed in clothes dip ped in hot water; injections are also serviceable as a dernier resort, a suppository of tobacco, say two or three drachmi. "Flatulent Cholic. This hav'ng been too of.en mistaken for the above va. riety, hias caused the death of many an inal, that might have been easily re. liev*ed. The swelling in the abdomen is so great that no one can possibly mistake it who bears in mind the two varieties. .TreatmjenL Lwo..or three ounecs of laudanum,tlie saine qiantity spirtts of turpentine, in a pint of the spirits of pimento. given at once; to be followed quickly by one pint of solution of the chloride of lime or soda, in a quart of water, the latter to be r~eicated if relhif is not soon ob taind. Jationalr: T:ue tympanites is produced mostly by a collection of sul pAirated hydrogen gas; the chlorine disengages itself fron the t~ime or soda and uniting with the hgdrogen, forms hydro ckloric or niitic acid, which unites with anyluidliresent con taining water, and relieres. the tympa. nites as if by a*harm. A deinier resort in cass where no chlorine is at hand, is to introduce a trocer id the centrerof the right flank, which % Jll penetrate the colon or carcum; withdraw the stilet and let the canula rentain, until the gas is discharged, then withdraw it, which should be done as sooti as pos. sible. "Flatulent ebolie not unfrequently Occurs in C-ittle and other animals of the lower which may be similarly treated the trocer and chlorine. The following remedies every -farmer should always keep on hand, fur the lo, of or aninwl will moic than difray the expenses: Laudanuim, spir its pimenito, Blarbadoes aloes, sol chio ride, lime or soda.

Eurronis: Last wveek we had very great pleasure in the presence, be fore the Robeson County Agricultural Society, of Dr. John F. rmpkins, the Editor of the Farmers' Journal. -The Doctor addressed the Society for an hour or more, and was listened to with very great interest and pleasure. The result was an adldition of some eighteen or twenty subscribers, aird if perfect faiwr for scientific farming. On~ yesterday we received the first three numbers of the Journal (vol. 2,) and whilst I was engaged in readiing some of tihe choice articles to a most at tentive squad of' our villagers, ifnd among them "Cure for Cholice in IHor. ses," in came the news that our WOV thy old citizen, farmer Brown, had just got to the village with a very sick horse.--Off I started at once, and the crowd with mec. "Is it spasmodic or flatulent, Mr. Brown?' says 1, with the numiber opei at the page and my thumb upon the article- - '-T'an't neither," says he: "It's cholie." ."May be it's the tymnpanies she's got," says 1. "Well now it an't; it's bholic, I tell you, and that awful bid." "Well," says I, "here's the treat ment." "What is IL says he. "Magnum desideratum," says I, rea ding fronti the number: "And whdt's that, and how do you give it? for you must be quick; a down his mare came and bounced a bout a foot clear from the ground. I looked round to Smith and Jones and Barker, who are fellow-members of the Societ-y with me, most inquiring. ly. Smith looked at Joies, and said that ho thojught the drought had killed all on his t(riu. J.'ncs said that lie knowed it very well when lie saw it growing, and a capital remedy it was, but lie had not seen any since last Fall; and Barker said that he had never heard of the thing before in his life. Mr. Brown's maregot up; and down she came, and this time bounced about a foot and a half. "Well let's leave that thing out," says Brown, "what's next? for you must be in a hurry." "Bleed her in the pro re nata," says I, reading on. "Wiere?" says Brown, most em phatically. "Ii the pro rO nate," says I. And I looked at Smith. and Smith at Jones, and Jones at Barker, and Barker said that lie did not think she ought to be bled in the no pre orta as it was dangerous. (Johnston who was standing by and always trying to say something smart, said he thought she ought'er, but we were too seriously en. gaged for any body to laugh ex. cept Johnston.) "You're right there, Mr. Barker," said Beeve Stoddiford, "for I bled one of my mules in the po ne korta, and she had the trimbles for a month after wards." (You could just hear John stun, as if talking to himself, "I don't .woidet.it hurt her.") ~ -.-~ And Mr. Biown's mare gotup and stood for a inonibnt'. "She lo, ks more oval than she did before," says Mr. Brown, meekly. (" And behind, too," says John ston, quietly.) She staggered but a step or two and down she came, and this time showed too feet clear of daylight as she bounced. "Run to the Doctor's shop and get this, says I to Jake, hurried writing oir --"sx drachms ales, dissolved in one quart of warm water, and add to the solution two or three ounces laud mnumt, with the same quantity ofspir its turpentine." In .igke's absence the mare took sev eral bounces, and as MNlr. Brown said, did not look so oval, but he thought she began to get roundish. Beeve Stod diford said that lie thought the pain was drawing her in a straiglt line from the head to the root of her tail, and if Jake did not get back directly he thought they would conie together. "Spose they do?" sdid Bias Larnes, "lly sorrel Wolf colt swelled so last Fall that you ctiuld not tell head firom tail, and I bled hint in the ho ne porta, and lie unrolled himself directly; and that's wh:tt she %anits now,-h enn do it." B.eeve Stoddiford looked at Blids baut didn't sayv any3 thing. (.lo'hnstona onily asked if that wasn't the colt thlat rubbe'd his tail off trying to get the cucrkle/mrs out.) By this time Jake caine running, mind I told him to hand the mixture to Mr. Browni. "Admiinister it," says L. "I low?" saiys he. And ih I.oked at Smith, and he saidl "'I h etach." Andl Smaith looked at Jones, nad lie said~ "'Inijectiona." Ana i uones looked at Barker, and be said uhbi her down with it." hut lhceve Stoddiford said that he lad verf' often admninistered that maitture, and the waiy lie always did it was to hold lip her'head and pour it. down her nostrils; and as none others had ever seen the dose ad ministered we fielded tu Beeve, and the whole of it wa'is dleordinigly so administer. ed. Thea mare sneezed, and struggled and coughled, and struggled and sneez ed, and Bias and Beeve and Jake tried their best to hold hei- down, but up she rose, jumnped about a foot clear of the ground, and came downi with a rnin,- and she bounced clear over. (It's all or'er with her now," says Johnston, soliloquising.) "I'm afraid you can do nothing more for her, says Mr. Brown, sorrowfully. "Don't give up yet," says I. "Let's try the whole prescrip~tion." "Whait's to'be do~ne now?" says Mr. Brown, almost inaudibly. "Give her injection of dernier re '4ort,". says I, "and two drachims of suppositoay of tobacco." "What's that?" says Mr. Brown. And I looked at Smith, atid he at Jones, and lie at Barker, iina 1ker back again at. Smith and Jones. "Don't you know the dern) r,.re sort?" says Stoddiford-. lil b'e urned if I can't gttther six bushel-baskets of it out of my garden. Why,.Blas Larnes, you must have seen thouAhnds of it' in the Burnt Islands.' "0, 1 ktio* - it like a 'book," says Bias, "and I could gather seven bush els-baskets of it out. of my garden, but it is too far to go.lor It, and it don't grow about Lutpbertonm The spository of tobacco won't d by itself, 'for all the good of that comes out when you bile it .with the burnier desort." "Adzactly," says lieeve Stoddiford, "I know it." . More and more sorrowful grew the countenance of poor Mr. Brown. as lie saw his mare swelqiug peiceptibly, and heard her awful groans. He wrung his hands in desphir, and stood half bent ovir her prostsIte form as if in attraction. "If we only had any ationale," says I. - "Wh-wh what youo.db with that .Honey?" says old Buggy. "Rub her down N ith it," says I. ("Better take a little yourself,' says Johnston.) . .. II "Make haste," says Stoddiford, "or I'll be burned if she don't splode." Again I looked at the page, and read hurriedly, "if yon cat't get the dernier resort: introduce' q trocer in the centre of the right flank, which will penetrate the colon or eaccum; with draw the stilet and 'let the capula re naiin." "Them's um," said'"Bias" Larnes. "Yes, I never knew that to fail,"'says Beeve Stoddiford. And Mr. Brown's mare made one roll, and her legs looked as if they had been driven up to the knees. "You inay haul her off, JAke?' says Mr. Brown, sobbing. "I could have curedher,",said , "if she could have stood.- it :until I got through with the prescription." "I b'lieve you could,"'says old:Buggy. "Mr. Brown," says Johnston, -I'm glad your. re is e wereu all shI~ed etiThe $ission: Mr. Brown looked at him imploringly' 1hrough his tears,. with a hea too full to speak. "If she had lived," con tinued Johnston, "you would have'.to bear the expense, but the ..prescription ays 'the loss of one- animal will nore than pay the expense."" "D-n the expense-the Lord for give me!' says Mr. Brown. "ScIENTIFIc FARMER. Vew Way to Make Butter. "Miss E.tti.," a rustic lass of the loosier State, who has had for several years past the entire control of the rnilk department in her father's fami ly, confesses in the Western Cultiva Lor, that she was indebted to it for the rollowing process of making butter urely and speedily said to -be the Ilussian method, and most excellent >ne two, as her experience proves She 3ays: "lleforej[ g. to milk, I put a kettle, say one-third. full of water, and large enough to let the milk pail into t, on the stove, where.it will get boil. ng hot by the time I come in with the nilk.

Our read6rswilI find the same thought in Humboldt's "Views of Nature:" . "There is an idea become current of late-a new.born idea-that none but a man of science,. bred in 'a school, can lay ofT a road. This is amistake. There is a class, of ,topographical en gineers older than the. scHools; and more unerring than the Wnathematics. They are - the wild animhals-buffalo, elk, deer, antelope, bears-which tra verse the forest, not by compass, but by an' instinct which: leads. them always the right way-to the lowest :passes in the mountains, the shallow. est fords in the rivers, the richest pas tures in the forests, the best - salt springs, and the shortest - practicable .lines betwoen. remote points. -They trayel thousands of miles, have their annual migrations backwards and for -wards and never miss the best -and shortest route. These are the first en gineers to lay out a road in a new coun try; the Indians follow them, and hence a buffalo road - becomes a war path. The first white-hunters fol, low the same trails in pursuing their game, and after that the buflhlo road become.the wagon road of the white man, and finally the macadamized or railroad of the scientific man . It. re solves itself into the same thing-into the.same buffalo road; and thence the buffalo becomes the first and safest en gineer. Thus it has.been here, in the countries which we inhabit, and the history of which is so familiar.. The present national road from Cumber land. over the Alleghanies, was "the military road of General ,Braddock, which had- been the buffalo paith of the wild animals.. .Sobf the roadsjfrom -Western Virginia to .
