To Our Parons. As this is already acknowleged to be one of the best papers in the State, we think it will not diminish either its usefulness or in terest to add two or three collumns exclu sively devoted to Agriculture. Having agreed to take the supervision of the Farmers De partment, the undersigned feel assured that they can give - something each week, inter esting and edifying to the farmer-but they make no rash promises. Our readers may therefore rest assured that they will not be disappointed. S. S. COLTER. B. T. SCOOTER. The Iron Plow. This is indeed the age of progress. The "iron horse" has long since puffed and snorted himself into notice; but now comes the Iron Plow and language fails to tell all his merits. This is one of the best utensils for the farmer that has ever been invented. The ever-ready plow-that niggers nor mules can break. It may be left in the fur row in August, and hitched to again in February, without having to tighten a wedge. It will never weather, crack or rot off at the foot. For thoroughly turning or breaking land deeply, this plow can not be surpassed. It does its work thoroughly, with ease to both man and horse, and for durabili. ty alono it is worthy of the highest recom mendation. As plow timber is growing very scarce, the iron plow comes to the rescue all in good time. The time lost in repairing a plow-stock, and wedging it up &c., in the course of two or three years, will pay for the iron plow, which will last fifty years at least. Evry farmer in Edgefield ought to supply himself with this plow, as one step towards economy; and no one will repent :having made the investment. This plow is now being manufactured by Mr. S. F. GOODE in this place, and all persons 'vho wish to purchase had better send in :their orders as early as possible, as we un .derctrad that many have already given motice that they wished to be counted in. The Cotton Planter. The farmers of Edgefield are particularly invited to call and examine the "Cotton Planter," a moddle of which is left at this office by Messrs. Calhoun and Carter, Pro prietors. This is a machine which speaks for itself. It opens the seeding furrow, strews tho seed evenly, and properly, and then covers it. It is a labor saving machine. One hand and one horse do the work of three hands and tco horses-in a much bet ter manner than it can be done in the 01(1 wvay of planting cotton. We cannot recomn mend a farming utensil of this character too highly. Call and see it for yourselves and then order the machine, or buy the right im mediately. The amount of time and labor saved by its use, wvill more than pay for the machine. Plow Deep. Success in farming depends upon many contingencies. A farmer may do his work wvell, and yet the soil which he cultivates ma~y fail to meet his expectation in yielding a crop corresponding to the amount of labor bestowed. Thue seasons may be unpropi tious: and good work may, (for the want of a correct judgment) be misapplied, and even with good seasons, may prove in the end to be rather injurious than otherwise, to the growing crop. There is no kind of labor expended by the farmer, so well calculated to insure a good crop, as deep plowing in the preparation of land before seeding. A thorough preparation of the soil is a crop half made. Land~thoroughly broken up and pulverized, affords greater facility to the feeders (the roots) of the plant to go in search of food and drink to sustain and nourish it. Deep plowing also has a ten dency to give to the soil about the roots of the plant a capacity for attracting moisture from the subsoil as well as absorbing it, to getherawith those gasses, genial to the growth of the plant, from the atmosphere. " Plow deep," and you will have made a good be ginning. Those who .wish to make a good crop must thoroughly prepare the land, and now is the time to prepare. Plow deep not only the soil, but break up the sub-soil. He who breaks deeply the sub-soil, has cleared a new-ground. FOR THE ADVERTISER. Planting Out Fruit Trees. AIR. EDITOR :-The following is my ex perience in this business; which, of course' yon can make use of in whatever way you think best. Lay off your ground about 15 feet each wvay, and in each cross dig a large deep hole. Fill up this hole wvith rich soil from the wvoods, until it shall just receive the plant to its natural depth; that is, just as deep as it was growing when taken up. Dig side trenches for the horizontal roots. Set in your tree, observing that none of the roots are crowded or pressed out of their natural position. Let one hold the tree perfectly upright, while another carefully packs in the dirt. That's all. In the winter of 1853-just two years ago-the writer procured four dozen trees, of different varieties, from Mr. Wig. SUMMER, of Pomaria, and planted them out in this wvay. They all lived and are now living, (except two pear trees, which were planted on a very hard red place, and the weather becoming dry, they wilted and died after leafing out,) and will bear fruit this year. be taken to destroy as few roots as possible, and in setting them out, there should be two hands; one to hold the tree steady and per fectly upright, while the other carefully packs in the dirt. If the ground is very dry, a bucket of water should be poured into each hole before putting in the plant. But, planting out the trees is only the be. ginning towards having good fruit. They require a great deal of care and attention afterwards-such as protecting them from rabits, borers and various other kinds of ene mies. In fact, they should be worked and kept clean, just like every thing else we raise. No kind of stock should be permit. ted to run among them, except hogs, and these only during fruit time. FARMER. Higgins' Ferry, S. C. REMARKS :-Many thanks to our friend "FARMER" for his sensible and practical views upon " Planting Fruit Trees." We hope that be will continue from time to time to give us " a few more of the same sort." We suggest, however, that we think 15 feet, too close to plant fruit trees. It would be better to plant them 15 steps or about 30 feet apart. We were informed by a very successful Peach-grower, that in planting peach trees, each tree should be inclined to the South, so that its foliage or top would shelter its trunk and roots from the scorch ing rays of the summer's sun.-SCooTER. Paint Your Implements. The primary agent in all decomposition of organic matter is oxygen. Without its pre sence under normal dircumstances, no change takes place. . But this oxygen, in at. mospheric air, is everywhere present, and decay under its destructive influence is al ways going on. To exclude the air, then, from all bodies we wish to preserve is the first requisite. In nothing is the rule of more practical importance than in the pre servation of the wood. Filling the exterior cells of wood with paint is perhaps the cheapest means of retarding its decay. This is well understood and generally acted upon in the construction -of all new implements. There is however, one point which appears to be forgotten, or at least to be generally disregarded. Paint by the action of air and rain is washed out of the pores, and when this is the case, the work of destruction pro. ceeds, we believe, more rapidly than though the wood had never been painted. Enghsh implements are much more costly than American, and this may be the reason why they take better care of them. Though paint is more expensive than with us, they are in the habit of thoroughly washing and clean. ing wagons, carts, harrows, cultivators, and in fact every wooden implement on the farm, every other year, and giving them a good coat ofred lead paint. It is astonishing how long their implements last. Many of them look as though they had been handed down from father to son for several generations. In no matter of economy do farmners miss it more than in allowing their implements to go with deficiency of paint. We venture to say, that a wagon frequently washed and cleaned, and receiving a coat of paint every fall, will last twvice as long as one never washed, except by being allowed to remami out in the rain, and never repainted except with dirt. Reader you have a paint-ean and brushes; at least, it is to be presumed you have, for no intelligent farmer would be wihout them, and an unintelligent farmer would not be found reading the Rural. If you have not done so already, get your paint and brushes, wash your implements, scrape off all the blisters, stop up every hole with putty, and theni give your wagons, drugs, cultivators, plows, wheel-barrow, (for of course yo~ have one,) roller, seed-drill, neck-yokes, andC whiffle trees a coat of paint. The imple' ments would look as good as new, your hired man will take more care of them, and you will save by this single operation, fromi the increased durability of your implements, more in the course of a dozen years thani would make you a life subscriber to half a score of the best Agricultural papers pub. lished.-Rural New Yorker. HINs -ro FARMERS.-A bare pasture en riches not the soil, nor fattens the animal, nor increases the wealth of the owvner. One animal well fed is of more value than two poorly kept. The better animals can be fed, and the more comfortable they are kept, the more profitable they are-all farmers work for profit. Ground once well plowed is better than thrice poorly. Bountiful crops are more profitable than poor ones. M~ake the soil rich, pulverize it well, and it Iwill be productive. Weeds that grow unmolested around the fences, stumps and stones, scatter their seed over the farm and are very likely to grow. Cowvs well fed in winter give more milk than in summer. An ox that is in good con dition in the spring w~ill perform more labor and stand the heat of summer much better Ithan one that is poor. When you see the fence down, put up-il it remains until to-morrowv the cattle may get over. What ought to be done to-day, do it; for tomorrowv it may rain. A strong horse will work all day without food, but keep him at it and he will not last long. A rich soil will produce good crops with out manure, but it will soon tire. 185, THlE 1855.

For Gentlemen it will be found agreenble, warm, and healthy, to wear in the coldest or raine* weather, as the foot cannot become wet if the Iydromnagen is inserted. Ladies may wear the lightest soled boots oi shoes in the most in clement wenther with impunity; while Consumption, so prevalent among the young of our cslntry, may be thwarted by their general adoption. They entirely aupersetle over wes, ns the latter caur 'he feet to perspire in a very un healthy manner; am' esiles, are not dangerous wear to pedestrians in icy w -er, like India rubbers. While the latter cause the feet to appear extremely large, the llydro magen, being a mere thmn slice of cork prepared, peculiarly plois inside, does not inerease the sizo of the boot, or caW the foot to appear untltdy.
