?armere Depaneu. MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. 0*Taz excellent article signed " SnoRT STAPLS," has been received, but its cast is of doubtful propriety for a family paper, and we have therefore respectfully declined pub lishing it. Manures. Agricultural writers, in their " Book Farm ing" notions, widely differ upon the subject of manure. While one advocates Guano another more strenuously urges the claims of Gypsum. -Some contend for Compost, others for Muck and Peete : some for Stable and Lot manure, and others for Cotton.seed. Poudrette also has a place in the picture. All are extolled and represented as being the best, cheapest, and most permanent fer tilizers. Even the Rescue Grass is advoca. ted as being the " sine qua non" for reclaim. Ing and fertilizing worn-out lands; while the Cow Pea, Clover and even the " Humbug Oregon" are all claimants for the prize What to the farmer to do I Which shall he choose, or how many must he co.mingle, so as to realize the greatest result at the least cost I That is the question. A ques tion which we confess we are not able to answer: but while upon the subject, we venture to give our opinion for just what it is worth. As we have never yet been very much infected with the Foreign-Manure mania, and after a close observance of re ported and unreported experiments, we are inclined to think that our own manufactured manure, of every description, is the best, cheapest, and most permanent fertilizer. It Js true, much labor is expended in gathering, tomposting and applying our manures; but wh.e, it is remembered that the work is nearly all done, when nothing else can be one, the cost dwindles into a mere trifle. Of all the various kinds'of manu're, com :mon to every plantation, there is not one - which will compare with Cotton-seed as a fertilizer for any and every variety of crops. Most of farmers know this, and yet it is sel dom applied so as to give the full benefit of it. fertilizig properties to the growing crop. The usual mnod' of preparing cotton seed for manure is by rotting it. This is generally eafeted by heaping and exposing it to the sun and rains until fermentation takes place, or until by heating, the germs are killed. By this time one third of its best property has escaped in vapour, and impregnated the at mosphere with a malaria, which benefits no one buat the doctor; while the remaining two-thirds, by the process of heating, have been subjeeted to a chemical change, which has materially injured its fertilizing proper ties. And yet it is the very best manure. In order to realize the full benefit of this excel lent manure, the seed should be crushed. A machine for crushing the seeds bn made for l'as than ten dollars. All that is necessary - Is to have two rollers running together cide.r.mill-fashio-and attached to the gin. gearing. There should also be two knife. scrapers, one to each roller, for keeping the roller freed from the crushed seed, which would haye a tendency to choke the machine. The crushed seed should then be applied to * the crop, and whether before or after plant ing it should be covered immediately. TIhere Is another kind of manure common to every plantation, to which we call the at tenhion ef our farmers, believing it to be one which pays well for the labor expended in gathering It. This manure may properly be called the Feser Manure as it is the cause of nine tenths of the cases of fever on every plantation. We can recommend this manure to the farmers of our district as being the best, and (next to Cotton-seedt) the most economi cal and most permanent fertilizer that they can use. It is a compost manure-made by the following recipe (not yet patented.) Those who will make it by the recipe, will have a vast deal of good manure, without the fever : and those who will not make it, will have the fever, and Doctor's bill to pay, without the manure. Recipe: Scrape up all the filth and litter from under the dwelling and kitehen and from under every negro house and haul it to some convenient spot north of the settlement. Cut down all weeds and scrape every fence corner around the settle ment, to the depth of three inches, and add the gatherings to the heap. Scrape round the kitchen door and back window, taking two inehes of soil. Trake all the leached ashes from the ash-hopper, mixed well with *rotten cabbages and every otFier decaying vegetable in the garden. Scrape thorough ly the floors of the smoke house and hen house. Then add all these ingredients together with the lot and stable manure, to the corn post heap, pile it up anid cover the whole with three inches of soil until ready for ap pljing it. This is a paying compost any way you take it. If the manure does not pay you, you will be certain not to pay the Doctor. _ _ _ _ Wonzderftl Trees, Th bory-nui Tree is one of the most remarkable trees in the world. As many of our readers have frequently seen toys for children, such as rattles and whistles and various articles, both ornamental and useful for a lady's work box, made of this vegeta ble ivory, we given them the following des cription of this wonderful tree, which is taken from the Journal of Educatdon: " The ivorynt Tree is properly called the Tagula t, and is common in South Ameriee tree Is one of the numerous family of pals's, but belongs to the order designated as esrew-pice tribe. The nations .,. ts t...a -ne adr angJa iit n from the nuts make buttons and various other articles. In an early state the nuts contain a sweet milky liquid, which after wards assumes a- solidity nearly equal to ivory, and will admit of a high polish. It is known -as ivory-nut or vegetable ivory, and has been recently brought into use for vari ous purposes." Southern Cultivator. We take pleasure in recommending this monthly visitor to our patrons, believing it to be the best Agriculural paper now pub lished. Its prospectus may be found in an other column on this page. The terms are certainly within the reach of every farmer, being only " One Dollar, invariably in ad vance." No 1, of the present Volume is now before us, and as usual is richly laden with the choicest viands for the farmer. We clip from its " Horticultural Department" the fol lowing as being a well-seasoned morsel for our own readers. THE PLANTATION. Push your plowing vigorously, whenever the ground is not too wet-turn under all vegetable matter, that it may decompose, and yield nutriment to the coming crops of Corn and Cotton. Plow dcep, and if you have no regular subsoil plow, let your turn ing-plow be followed in the same furrow, by a bull-tongue, or broad coulter, drawn by a stout team. .This will loosen up the subsoil, and bring into cultivation a portion of your land, which heretofore has been of no use to you. The old system of surfacc scratching, to the depth of three or four inches, must be abandoned. No planter in the South should pretend to plant a crop of Corn or Cotton in less than 10 inches of mellow and well. manured soil. Try deep plowing one year, and you will need no urging hereafter. Manure should now be hauled out, distri buted over the ground, and plowed deeply under. Scatter it evenly, so that all the plants may be fed. Spread all trash, weeds, corn and cotton stalks, &c., and turn them under with the plow. Haul leaf-mould from the hollows of the woods, and compost it with barn yard manure, lime and ashes, before you spread it on your fields. Fill up gullies with logs, brush, &c., and run dithches horizontally along your hill sides, to prevent washing. Deep ploughing will a'.o be found of great benefit on hill sides subject to wash. Repair old buildings-erect new ones look over and repair your farn implements -take good care of your stock, and keep all work animals in good condition for the iard labor they will have to accomplish the :oming season. Commence your farm operations this year, vith the determination to make larger crops han heretofore-to practice a more thorough 5ystem of plantation and domestic economy -to avail yourselves of all the lights of agri. ultural science-to improve your old worn mut fields-to keep out of debt--aid by your arnest and persevering efiorts to elevate the vocation of the Farmer to its rightful position t the head of all other professioms. THE GARDEN. Sow early varieties of English Peas du ring the first fortnight in January, and con tinue to sow a succession every week during he spri-g and early summer. Hoe and earth hem up in dry, warmi weather, and set a ow of sticks to support the vines as soon as hey require it. Cabbage, Lettuce, Radishes, .Salsafy, Spinage, Parsnips, Beets, 4.c., may now be own on ground properly prepared. Choose iwarm exposure-spade, manure and piul ~erize your beds well, and do not plant your eed too dccp. Irish Potatoes may nowv be planted for an arly crop. Plant the sets 8 or 10 inches tpart, on coarse litter, long manure or straw, n the bottoms of deep, trenches, three feet part. Put a handful of manure ont each set nd cover it with fiye or six inches of earth. aul the earth well about the stems as they dvance in growth, but do not cocer the tops with dirt. Prepare all your garden imp~lements for ise, this month ; and get your ground spad d or plowed thoroughly, turning deeply un er all the manure or vegetable mtatter that ou can obtain. Hot Beds should be prepared the latter art of this month, in order that you may ave a good supply of Cucumbers, Cabbage, lomato, and other plants for spring opera ons. Grass Seeds. We have frequent inquiries as to the quan ;ity of seed to be sown per acre. T1ho fol owing article from Sanford Howurd, Esq., Editor of the Boston Cultirator, answers the eneral inquiries which are made: " A good mixture of grasses for hay, and :he proper quantity for one acre, on soils of nedium dryness is the following: Red clover,..........8 lbs. or 4 qts. Herds grass, sir timothy,........8 qts. Red-top,................1 bushel. In some instances, clover sown chiefly as in improver of the soil, and as it will only ccupy the ground one or tu'o years, it is best under these circucumstances to sow no grass seeds with it, but to increase the quan tity of clover seed to twelv'e or fourteen ounds to the acre, Where the land is un avorable to clover, that seed should be omit bd, and the herds grass seed increased to welve quarts, and the red top to fiye pecks o the acre. Clover, being biennial, dies out more or less after the first year, and the space it occupied is filled by the spread of the grasses. For pastures, on soils of medium quality and tolerable dryness, the follow"ing mixture has been found to succeed wvell: Red clover,................2 qts. Wbite clover,...............2" Ketucky blue grass,............ " Red-top,....................2 p'ks. Herds grass,...............1 bush. The red clover should he omitted on wet land, and the red-top increased." Universal Cement. Curdle skim Milk, press out the whey, break the curd ini small pieces, dry it, and grind it in a coffee mill. Take ten ounces of dry curd, one ounce of fresh burnt quick lime, and two scruples of gum camphor. Mix the whole intimately, and preserve in small wide mouthed bottles, closely corked. When it is to be used, mix it with a little water and apply it immediate ly; useful in cementing crockery or glass ware.

WHAT A PAlMEE WANTS. The farmer wants a stable mind, A purpose sure and steady, To patient industry inclined For business always ready. Good, careful habits well infixed, And judgment acting clearly, To sift out truths with error mixed, Though it should cost him dearly. He wants a neat and prudent wire, Who when he earns can save it, Who kindly soothes the cares of life, (Best gift of Him who gave it.) lHe wants a snug and tidy farm, And health and strength together, A house and barn to keep all warm In cold or rainy weather. Heaven's blessings then must crown the whole, Or all his hopes are blasted, But with Tis resting on his soul, The purest joys are tasted. le then enjoys a bliss unknown To those the world call greatest; Known only to the good alone, The earliest and the latest. Cotton Seed. It can be no longer questioned that the cotton seed, in many parts of our country, is fast degenerating, and we hear frequent complaints from the planters on this subject. The plants, in many places, are not as vigorous in growth nor in the quantity and quality produced as formerly. We are as sured that the staple of the cotton is being seriously aff'ected by this degeneration of the cotton seed. Various reasons are as signed. One thinks it is owing to the con dition of the soil or the state of the weather; another thinks it is owing to the defective manner of culture: "I must change my seed," says a third; and thus a variety of conjec tures are started. The reason of this de generation is made to appear when we con sider that, year after year, our planters pitch their crops with seed taken promiscuously from the field. In the very nature of things it must dwindle and become dwarfish in the course of time ; and notwithstanding it de preciates under their eyes, they still pursue the same insane policy. Upon the same principle your stock of horses, cattle or hogs would'degenerate and run out. We do not wonder, thermtore, that your cotton is Seri ously affected. You do nothing to improve it, to give ilsvigor of growth or constitution. There is no ,Ieed to change your seed; all that you have to do is to pass through your fields and select your seed from these plants that exhibit most vigor ofrgrowth and produce the greatest number of bolls. Plant those to themselves, and then cull again as before ; or else select a few acres, and plant it exclusively with the best seed, selected as above, and in one or two years you will have superior seed, if not better than can be obtained anywhere else. If you are too negligent or lazy to make the necessary im provements, no complaints should fall from your lips. The famous seeds, about which so much is said, and for which such high prices are paid, have been brought up to this high state of culture by the means stated above, and by proper crossing kept up for a series of years. Try the plan indicated, and you will fin a vast improvement in the quality and qu - tity of your cotton.-Southern Organ. l31PltovF.METr OF IAIGir Soi.s.-Vcry light soils are comparatively unproductive, in their natural state, from two causes ; they are deficient in the elements of planits, and their mechanical texture is too loose to atfford plants-especially in their cam ly stages-a sullicientiy firm hold. T1he former deficien cy may be 'supplied by the application of the ordinary manures, but as such soils pos sess little or nomne of any substance which can hold manure in comibiunation, this remedy of itself is only temporary.-It has beeni proved by practical experiments, that clay possesses the power of retaining manures the alkalies, as ammionia, potash and soda, readily combine with clay, and the gases which are emitted by decomposing animal and vegetable matters ar'e absorbed by this substance.
