"Let idle Ambition her baubles pursue, While Wi-dom looks down with disdain, The home of the farmer has charmi ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." The " Soil of the South." By the last (January) number of this Journal, we observe that the editorial de partment has been much strengthened by an additional chair for Mr. Wx. H. CuAX BERs. The elder CHAMBER -, who has given great popularity to the " Soil," still exercises a supervisory care over the practical depart. ment. Conjointly, their labors must tend, with great effect, to the development of our Southern agricultural resources. We com mend them earnestly, to the attention and consideration of our readers. The " Soil of the Soutit" is published in Columbus Ga., monthly at $1 per annum. We should not omit to mention, in addi tion to the above, that Mr. PEABODY Still has under his control the horticultural de partment of this valuable publication. The Working Farmer, This is a New York agricultural monthly, edited by Professor J. J. MAPES of Newark N. J., at the usual rates, one dollar in ad vance &c. Although we believe this to be a good paper of the kind, neither our politics or local prejudices, will permit us to recom mend it very cordially to the patronage of our readers. We helheve that charity should not only begin at home, but so far as .Northern Papers are concerned, it should stay at home. Independent of Northern ag gressions and their unwarranted attacks up on our institutions; the system of agricul ture at the North in all its various depart ments, is so entirely different from ours, that we believe their agricultural yankey-doodle ism is eminently calculated to lead our Southern farmers into errors from which they cannot easily extricate themselves. We acknowledge that we have learned much from our Northern farmers, but we believe that the mos' valuable lesson the South can ever learn frora the North, is to have nothing to do with any thing north of Mayson and Dickson's line. Wanted to Know 1. The best Plow to be used in breaking up clay lands, and the reasons of its supe aority. 2. The best Plow for breaking up sandy liands, and reasons as before. 3. Whether it is any material advantage to break up eandy laud deep in the winter 4. Whether it is of much service to the Oat crop on stiff lands to precede the sow ing with a thorough plowing. 5. Whether it is better to burn off new ground late and plant immediately without turther preparation; or whether it may not be better to burn off early and break up wvell. 6. How much it costs to raise a mule, as also a hog; andi whether it is not cheaper to buy them from Tennessee and Kentucky. 7. \\ hat amount of Corn is really neces sary to keep a good horse in thriving condi tion for one year. 8. Whether and old fashioned strait shovel plow is not equal for most purposes to any other plow yet invented. 9. Why scrapers are not used in the cul tivation of cotton here as they are in the WVest. 10. What is the best mode of preparing cotton ground for planting, as also corn ground. 11. What is the best proportion of horses to hands on a cotton plantation, and what on a grain farm. 12. How Guano should be applied to cot ton, c.,rn and small grain respectively. 13. The maximum task of a good hand in splitting rails. 14. How much a hand ought to plow per day in breaking up land-how nmuch in cul tivatin-g the crop. 15. Has the twisting shovel any real merit as an agricultural implement, and what is it. 16. What the experience of our farmers is in regard to sub-soiling. 17. TFho best crop to plant in an orchard. But we stop for the present. Our idea is merely to show our agricultural readers how rapidly queries and suggestions crowd one upon another, when attention is turned to their varied branch of industry. Many com plain, in reply to a request for some written items from their experience in planting, that they dont know what to write about. Now we respectfully urge that this is doing injus tice to their nobbs pursuit. It abounds in interesting subjects and must give birth, if properly studied, to a thousand useful en quiries. The foregoing seventeen proposi tions we have put down as they occurred to us upon the moment. Yet most of them in volve points of real interest to our farmers. Shall we not have a dozen responses within a fortnighti One thing only we must stipu late-that no one communication shall ex ceed a half column. Take a single point at a time and use no superfluous language. Save Your Bacon. In order to preserve bacon from the fly, bogs and skippers, we furnish the following recipe: After the shoulders and aides have been in salt for four weeks, they should be well rubbed with dry corn meal, or with quick lime slaked to a dry powder, and then hung up and smoked with green hickory wood. iu' shnold be taken from the malt and well coated with a paste made of three parts of dry slaked lime to one part of common black pepper, mixed with a quantity of mo lasses sufficient to form a good, stiff paste. It should beapplied to the flesh side only. Then hang them, large end up, and smoke with green hickory as above. If you wish to have extra-fine hams-after smoking suf ficiently, take them down on the first of March- bag each ham and give each bag a good coat of common white wash. The bags will cost a mere trifle and will last ten years, if taken care of. Try it, and you will not fear the fly, bug or skipper afterwards. Agriculture and the Ladies. We like to see ladies skilled in all the business of the vegetable garden. And more than this, we like to see them (if farmers' wives) participate in all the anxiety and in terest their husbands feel about their field crops. We like to hear them talk as if they had enquired and really knew a good deal about such things. There is an affected air of utter ignorance, as to all things pertain ing to cotton, corn, wheat, &c., sometimes assumed by farmers' wives and farmers' daughters. This is simply ridiculous. It should be their pride to observe and become acquainted with the business of the farm as far as may be consonant with womanly habits. There is nothing more charming than a down-right, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed country lady, who prides herself upon her country independence and country advan tages, and can discourse upon them sensibly. We append the following extract from an address recently delivered before the .lary land State Fair, to show our ladies how their sisters in Old England look upon this matter. " As showing the interest English ladies take in agriculture, I cannot but relate a casual interview I chanced to have with an English lady, in going up in the express train from London to York. Her husband had bought a book at the stand as we were about starting, and remarked to her that 'it was one .gf her favorite American authors HAWTHORNE.' 1 casually observed, 'I was pleased to see young American authors found admirers with English ladies,' when the conversation turned on books and au thors. But I said to myself pretty soon, ' This is a literary lady-probably her hus band is an editor or reviewer, and she uses the "scissors" for him-at all events, I must retreat from this discussion about authors, modern poets, and poetry. What should a farmer know critically of such things? If I were only in those fields-if the conversa tion could be made to turn upon crops or cattle-then I should feel quite at home.' I finally pointed out a field of wheat, and re marked that it was very fine. The lady, carefully observing it, said, 'Sir, I think it is too thin-a common fault this season, as the seeding was late. Those drills,' she ad ded, turning to her husband for confirma tion, 'cannot be more than ten inches apart, and you see, sir, the ground is not complete ly covered-twelve,, and even fifteen inches, is now preferred for the width of drills, and two bushels of seed to the acre will then entirely cover the ground, on good land, so you can hardly distinguish the drills.' " if the goddess C2eres had appeared with her sheaf; or her conucopia, I could not have been taken more by sur-prise. A lady des canting on the width of wheat drills, and the quantityi of seed !" "'I will try her again,' said I ; 'this may be a chance shot;' and remarked, in refer ence to a field of plowed ground we were passing, that it broke up in great lumps, and could hardly be put in good tilth. 'We have much clay like this,' she replied, 'and fo merly it was difficult to cultivate it in a til lage crop; but smece the introduction of Croskill's Clod Crusher they will make the most beautiful tilth on these lands, and which are no0w regarded as among the best wheat lands'" " The conversation turned on cattle. She spoke of the best breceds of cows for the fall -Ayrshires and Devons ; told me where the best cheese was made-Cheshire ; the best butter- Ireland; where the best milk-maids were to be found-Wales," "'Oh !' said I, ' I wvas mistaken ; this charming, intelligent wsomnan, acting so natural arnd unaffected, dressed so neat arnd so very plain, must be a farmer's wife; and what a helpmate he has in her !' ", " The train stopped at York. No sooner had my travelling compinions stepped upon the platform, than I noticed they were sur rounded by half a dozen servants-men and women-the men in full livery. It turned out to be Sir John and Lady H. This gen teman, I learned, was one of the largest land-proprietors in Berkshire, and his lady, the daughter of a nobleman, a peeres in her own right; but her title added nothing to her-she was a noble woman without it." Work for January. We take from the " Soul of the South" the following hints to farmers upon the matters demanding their attention at this season: "'This is one of the busiest months of the year. It may with propriety be termed the jobbing month on a cotton plantation, and perhaps no month in the year requires more constant attention, or imposes a heavier tax upon the judgment in the proper distribution and employment of the laborers. Fencing. clearing, cleaning up, building, plowing, and a thousand unthought of jobs of minor corn sequence, divide the attention. In this month most of the oat crop is sowvn in this section. t would have been better to have attended to this some time ago, but the earlier now the better. For this season the golden or yelowv oat is preferable ; indeed so far as our experience goes, it is better than the black oat for all seasonsa. It does not mature so early as the black oat, but that has inot been an objection with us. Break the ground well with a scooter plow arnd turn the seed under -with a half shovel or a turn ing scooter, wvhich would do better. Tlhis plan ensures a better stand, a heavier, better flled head. Use every day which can be so employed this month, in plowing, Your corn land would pay well for a thorough broad cast plowing, before the crop is planted. Haul out your manure, but do not spread it any more than is necessary. The larger the piles, the better it will keep. Avoid the common error of undertaking to make the manure cover too much ground. Better manure one acre well than three poorly. Less than three hundred bushels to the acre, of such trash as we generally make in our mule lots under the name of manure, will not pay for applying it." 0::' Make manure when you have nothing else to do; and when that useful article wsm nntn ntoianting. FGR THE ADVERTISER. MR. EDITOR :-l am glad to see that you have added to your invaluable paper the Farmer's Department, and if it will only hold out as it has begun, I shall look with more than ordinary anxiety for the weekly visits of the Edgefield Advertiser. As I think it may be of service to some of my brother farmers, I give you the benefit of my experi ence in raising Water-melons. If any one wishes to raise this delicious fruit to perfec tion, or if they wish to show at the next Fair water-melons as large as a barrel, my ex perience may aid them. Early in the last spring I laid out my mellon-bed ten feet each way. Every hill was prepared in the following manner. After digging out holes eighteen inches deep and about eighteen inches wide, the bottom was covered with stable manure about three inches thick. Next was a layer of pulver ized charcoal about three inches, with a table-spoon full of guano mixed well with the coal; then the hole was filed with al ternate layers of rich soil or mould from the woods, and sand. Finishing with the mould I planted the seed, and after covering them very lightly, I gave a top dressing with sand, to keep the ground from baking, and to secure a gcod stand. All came up well and in a very short time my vines were bear ing and so much in advance of those of others that they were the wonder of the neighborhood. By the first of June I had one nearly as large my head, but a rascally little negro pulled it. After that, all my vines died and not one melon did I get for my trouble. Yours Respectfully, BAD LUCK. Remarks, We are under many obligations to friend " BAD LucK" for the benefit of his experi ence. We hope that others will follow his example and let us hear from their unsuc cessful operations. MAuch may be learned by the farmer by reported failures, and we take this occasion to call upon our bretheren of the clod to give us the results of their ex periments, successful or not, and let us all try and improve one another, by a free ex change of ideas upon every subject interest. ing to the farmer. Where are our moddle farmer's. Where are our old fogies! Come, gentlemen-give us the benefit of your ex perience. It may benefit the rising genera - tion. Who knows?-EDS. EOR TI ADVERTISER. Manures, Massas. EDITORS :-l congratulate your readers on the Agricultural arrangement of your paper and have but few remarks to make. Why do farmers save their stable and cow, and hog-pen manures ? Because their daddys did before them. Nuf sed about the chemico-meteoroligical modus operandi of their application to corn, wheat and cot ton lands. But just ask them why not save night soil, anid a laugh is the reply. Well, nowv for our new wvay of making old Bacon and old Corn. One negro will conesume in 12 months 144 lbs. of Ba con, at 10 cents,................14.44 13 bushels Corn at $1 per bush.. 13.00 $27.44 Now, the same negro wvill produce "in liquid and solid excrements on an average 14 lb. daily (5.4 lb. of urine and i lb. feces,) and that both taken together contain 3 per cent of nitrogen, then in one year they wvill amount to 547 lbs., which contain 16,41 of nitr-ogen, a quantity sutlficnt to yield the nitrogen of 800 lbs. of wheat, rye, oats, or of 900 lbs. of barley." This 547 lbs. of domestic African Guano, Iwith 100 lbs. of pulverised ebarcoal and 200 lbs. of gypsum or plaster tn fix it, costing about $3.00, and worth as much as Peru vian Guano, say $25.00 will manure 4 acres of wvheat (on land producing without manure 0 bashels,) and produce 20 bushels ol good w'heat per acro. T 'hen 80 bush. wheat at $1.00.. ..880.00 deduct 24 bush. at $1.00...24.00 $16.00 A little more than clear gain enough, to pay for the old bacon and corn consumed by the same negro, in the twelve preceed ing months, and leave a balance, to pay for the interest and trouble of making the calcu lation. This is what a young American farm er would tell an old fogie to be a newwa of making old corn and old bacon. - TRY IT. We'll try it-certain.-(Eds.)
