Save Your Land.
AxoNG the subjects interesting to farmers,
there is not one of more vital importance,
than the one suggested by the above caption.
The lands of our State have long been rank
ed with those of the old, worn-out countries;
ar.d hundreds of our people, so considering
them, have emigrated to the far West, while
others have taken their places, and by their
progressive skill in farming, within the last
ten or fifteen years, have caused a wonder
ful improvement to take place in the general
aspect of our country. So great has been
this improvement, that our lands have actu
ally advanced fifty per cent. in value. If to
one cause. more than to another, this ad
vance in valuie, is attributable, we are in
clined to think it is that attention which far.
mers have within the same period of time
paid to the saving of their lands, by the ju
dicious use of guard drains or hill-side
ditches, grading, &c. It is true that much
of this improvement may have been effected
by a more liberal system of manuring, rest
ing, and rotation of crops; yet we think that
these latter agents have had rather a tenden
cy to increase the c; ops than to save the
land. That guard drains and grading are
the best tneans of saving land from washing
and wasting away can no longer be doubted.
And yet some of our farmers are still mur
dering their lands by the old-fashioned up
and down hill culture; while such a thing as
a guard-drain is not to be seen on their premi
ses. This we consider is folly, near akin to
that of killing the goose for the golden egg.
What is still more strange, some of these
old land-pirates, are numbered amongst our
most intelligent farmers. To such we say,
save your land, and its increased produc
tiveness and value, will amply remunerate
you for the expense of grading and ditching.

"AND what can you tell me about tar,"
says one.
"1 Well, we can only say that it is a very
useful article on every farm, and every body
should be supplied with the very best kind."
Now, there it is again-don't I know
that rich pine tar is the best kind; and don't
I know that tar can be made of nothing
else 1"
" Stop ! stop ! my good neighbor, we wish
to tell you how to make it."
"'lThunder~ an'd lightening ! Don't every
body in the Piney-wvoods knowv howv to put
up a tar-kiln ?"
"It may he that every body know this,
hut as all pei sons may not know howv to
to ke Cotton.seed-tar, we propose to say a
few words upon this particular kind of tar."
"Cotton-seed-tar! Well, wvell ! that beats
me' ot. This bookfarming with its jim.
eracks and new noti.mns is going to be the
ruination of the whole country.
"Cotton-seed tar is the best kinid for three
reasons: 1st, Ikecause it is thinner and will
not pich upon the axil of wagon or cart. 2d,
Because more of it can be made from the
same quantity cf rich pine. 3d, Because it
consists of a large portion of oil, which les
sens Iriction and causes the wagon or cart to
run..ighter. It is made by preparing the
bed of the kiln in the usual way, and then
laying down the lightwood, inclined down
wards towards the vent hole-then cover
the pine six inches thick wvith cotton seed,
and thein cover with a little straw and about
two inches of earth. When the kiltn is burnt
all the oil in the Cotton-seed wiill be in the
tar-barrel and you will have the best kind
of tar."
"I don't believe it, blast if I do. Good
bye, Sir."
-"Good-bye, Swelihead."
Irish Potatoes,
Now is the time to p'lant for an early crop
of this most valuable of esculents. As many
of our readers may be at a lost to know how
to mianaige this cr01), the following extract
from the Southern Cultivator may aid them.
If any' one knows a better method we would
be glad to learn, as the Irish potato is all the
bread we eat while it is in season.
"MAa. EDIorro:-Having seen an article
in your valuable paper, on the culture of the
Irish potato, anmd the plant differing from the
one I have adopted, I will briefly give you
mine. I break my land twice very deep,
about the first of January. 1 then lay off
my rows fromi 12 to 15 iinches apart, with a
shovel plotw, run twice in the same furrow.
I ttieni cut my potatoes anud drop them ten
inches apart, lplace them in the bottom of
the furrow with the eye up; then scatter
stable manure slightly on the potatoes. Tihis
done, I till the furrow with rotten wheat
stra w, or oak leaves, (the straw is preferable)
scatter the stra w or leaves all over the ground
to the depth of 12 inches ; or suflicient to
keep the weeds from coming tup. I do no
more to my potatoes until they are fit for
use. Trhe potatoes raised in this mannier
are much whiter and more tender than those
raised in the ground. When the polatoes
are large enough for uee, just raise the straw,
pick the large ones off, anad leave the small
ones; placing the straw back again. In this
manner I go over my patch several times in
the season. I think more potatoes can be
raised on the same land, with less labor in
this way, than by any other plan that I have
seen tried. A PLANTER.
Tanner's bark is now understood to be
capitally adapted to the strawberry. Spread
it completely on the soil; it will keep the
fruit cleatn, and the soil moist. This is the
true mulching for the strawberry. Trhere is
nn doubt of this.
Butter and the Ladies.
FARxEs' WIVEs and farmers' daughters
should not only pride themselves in their
knowledge of agricultural subjects, but
should endeavor to make themselves profi
cients in every department of house keeping.
Of all the arts in house-keeping, that of
making butter is one of the most important;
and there is nothing reflects more credit
upon our wives and daughters, than their
skill in the management of the dairy. Both
the quantity and quality of the butter are
objects to be attained, but especially the lat
ter. If your wife can set before you daily,
a good supply of this almost indispensable
requisite for a good meal, you need not fear,
good man, but that your spouse is something
worth having ; for, if she is not already every
thing you wish her to be, depend upon it,
she will soon learn. Show us a young lady
who is not ashamed to go to the dairy, skim
the milk, take the butter from the churn and
prepare it for the palate, as well as fur the
table, and we will tell you, young man,
where you may get a treasure for a wife.
To such as are looking out for a better half
we furnish the following history of two spe
cimens of female loveliness. Take care that
you dqn't get the tcorser half.
" Bread is the staff of life, but butter is
given to make it slip down easier and with a
better relish. But it depends something on
who makes the butter, whether it answers
this purpose. Butter made in Joe Bunker's
family needs to ue eaten in the dark ; then
to make it pass well one or two other senses
should be laid aside-while that made by his
brother Jonathan may be eaten in the full
blaze of noon; you would wish your neck as
long again that you might have the pleasura
ble sensation of swallowing prolonged. Per
haps a bit of the history of their better
halves will explain the whole matter.
" Joe's wife was Sally Sly-when a small
girl she was sly-she would not half wash
the milk pail and sly it away and let it sour.
She was sly at school and did not half get
her lessons, but would have her book in
sight when reciting ; but as she grew older
she learned that to get well married she must
appear well, and so she bent all her cunning
to get a superficial education in every thing.
from roasting a potatoe to playing the piano.
Poor Joe fell in love with her, and "love
has no eyes,"-so he married her. But soon
after she entered on house-keeping his eye
sight came, and he saw his fix that it was
6 for better or worse ;" and he thought it
was all for worse. Like a true philosopher
he concluded to endure what he could not
avoid nor cure, and got along tolerably well
only when he came to her butter-for his
mother w-as a real butter-maker. Every
time he saw or tasted of Sally's butter he
felt the horrors. Her manner of making
butter was something as follows: She thinks
it of no consequence whether the milk pail
is sweet or sour-sets the milk in a warm
room-because it is easier than to go to the
cellar, and if some dirt should blow into
the pans she thinks every tian must ' eat a
peck of dirt,'and in nothing will it slip down
easier than in butter:-she lets the cream
pots be open, and when she churns forgets
the poke; leaves the cream nearly at blood
heat that it may come quick. WVhen slw
takes it out of the churn she picks out the
bodies of the flies and spiders-the legs and
wings are so small they can be swallowed.
She works out half the butter-milk and sets
it away in a warm place for use. Poor Joe
hs seen so much butter of this kind that he
:eclares butter does not agree with his
health, and will not taste it. Yet his wife
wonders wvhy he does not try it, and mamr
vels why he does not keep a dairy, and miake
butter for market.
" Jonathan wvas a younger brother of Joe,
and he had had occasion to eat at his broth
er's enough to know wh-ly he could not eat
butter ; and he declared he never would mar
ry without knowing what his bread wvould be
uttered with. Following the bent of his
ancy', he made several attempts at matrimo
y, and Julia Juniper almost caught him, for
here was always good butter on the table
t tea, but lhe was determined to know who
ade it. (On inquiry-she says ' La ! nme!
nother makes the butter; I take lessons on
the piano.' ' Well,' says Johnmathan, ' I wa;nt
wife that takes lessons on the churn-I
shall look further.' A fler several unsucces.
ful a' temnpts, and just ready to despair, lie
started in pursuit of stray cattle, before
reakfast, and wandered across the forest
to the corner of the next townt, and wveary
and hungry, called at a decent looking houso
and asked for some refreshment, which was
ost cordially granted, for the family were
what are called Scotch-Irish-itn religiotn,
Presbyterian, and in hospitality, boundless.
Here he fotund the butter exactly right
hough the wveather wvas hot, the butter kept
its shape as well as bees-wvax. He cate
hised the old lady about bet house-wifery
for the bread was as right as the butter. The
old lady said her healthi was feeble-shte
ould do but little, atnd Jennty had the whole
management. He made some round-about
inquiries concerning Jenny, and learnied she
wvas a hearty, black haired, black-eyed lass,
of about two and twenty ; had never seen a
piano nor attetnded a ball-but knewv the
Assembly's catechism ; could sing Old Hun
dred to a charm-spin flax atnd darn stock
ings, and was then gone to town with butter.
He lingered, but she was delayed, and wvhen
his excuses for staying were all exhausted
e started. He could not get the good but
ter out of his mitnd; and how it happented I
knowv not, he soon found his way there again,
and the result of his adventure was lie made
a wife of Jane M'Kean. Amid nlow one lump
of his butter is worth more thatn all Joe's
wife would make in a mionth. There's no
trouble in going to market-the keepers of
genteel boarding houses in the neighboring
village send anid take it at the highest market
price.
Now the main difference in these two
women arises from their mannier of training,
though there is no difference in natural dis
positions. Otd Madame Sty never looked
on to see that Sally did up her wvork right,
but suffered to sly off her work as she chose,
and though a good house-keeper herself wvas
altogether too indulgetnt, and like some other
mothers, thought more of getting Sally well
married, than of making her fit for a wife
w~hilo old Madam M'Kean was detertmined
that Jenny should be a fit wife for any man,
whether she got married or not. Perhaps
there is no more certain criterion by which
to judge of a woman's general character for
neatness atid good house-keeping thtan by
the quality of her butter. Find on the far
mer's table, a good solid, properly salted,
wellworked, slice of butter, and you nteed
not fear to eat the pan-cakes or hash ; but if
you see a splash of half-worked butter--salt
in lumps, and a sprtikltng of hair and flies'
legs, you may be sure if you hoard there
long, death will not be obliged to wait for
you. to finsh~ yourneck of dirt My advice
is to young farmers to make it a sine qua
non isl a wife that she makes prime butter;
and the young ladies who aspire to be far
ier's wives, had much better be imperfect
in filagree jtnd musr than be deficient in that
most important art of making butter, which
smoothes not only the sharp corners of crust
and crackers, but will smooth asperities of
the husband's temper.
AGRICULTURAL POETRY.
IT is seldom we meet anything in this line so
s xcet and truly poetic as the followtng'stanzas, upon
a subject so well calculated to cheer the heart of the
plowman as he " homeward plods his weary way."
THE GOOD OLD PLOW.
Let them sing who may of the bat tle fray,
And the deeds that have long since passed;
Let them chant in praise of the tar whose days,
Are spent on the ocean vast.
I would render to these all the worship you please,
I would honor them even now ;
But I'd give fai' more from my heart's full store
To the cause of the Good Old Plow.
Let them laud the notes that in music float,
Through the bright and glitteritig hall;
Wh.le the amorous twirl of the hair's bright curl,
Round the shoulder of beauty falls;
But dearer-to me is the song from the tree,
And the rich and blossoming bough,
0, these are the sweets which the rustic greets
As he follows the Good Old Plow.
Full many there be that we daily see,
With a selfish and hollow pride,
Who the plowman's lot, in his humble cot,
With a scornful look deride;
But I'd rather take, aye, a hearty shake,
From his hand than to wealth I'd bow
For the honest grasp of his hand's rough clasp,
Has stood by the Good Old Plow.
All honor be t'iwn to these gray old men,
When at last they are bowed with toil,
Their warfare then o'er, they battle no mcre,
For they've conquered the stubborn soil;
And the chaplet each we'ars, is his silver hairs;
And ne'er shall the victor's brow
With a laurel crown to the grave go down
Like the sons of the Good Old Plow.
FOR THE ADVERTISER.
MEssRS. ED1ToRs :-In perusing your
valuable paper o' the 24th ult., my attention
was attracted by an unfortunate experiment
made by 'your friend " BAD Lucc," in his
effort to raise Melons, and believing it to
he, not only the privilege, but the duty of
every Southerner, to exercise every nerve, in
his mental faculty, in facilitating the progress
of Agricultural enterprise, I deem it not im
proper to make a suggestion to "BAD
LuCK," itl regard to the course lie should
pursue in the preparation of his composition.
Now, if he would just take a little Guano
attd Gipsum, and mix well with the char.
coal, I am inclined to think it would give
the matter a different flavor ; and no doubt,
his vines would flourish, and yield abun.

Preparing Land for Corn,
As the time for plantting this most impor
tant crop is rapidly approaching, a few hints
ott the proper prepat ation of the soil may
not be inappropriate. Ihe warfare now ra
gintg in Europe, with the excessive drouths
we have had. in the laist few years, the cer
taintyv of an increased demnantd at htigh figures,
all cnmbine to drawv, fronm every farmer, tn
creasedl attention to this subject. Int making
preparations for a tewv crop of corn, we
would suggest to our readers that they can
nt commtence their operations too soon, nor
push themr too fast whten they do commnence.
The first grattd prerequisite necessary is a
teatm attd lawI, not a mere excuse by which,
with hard pttsing, the land may possibily be
scratched to the depth of three or four tn
ces, but a ploiw thtat will not only bireak
your lantd but break it thoroughly. Land
that is ontlv hatlf broken will never more
than half produce under the best system ol'
tillage of a seatsonable year, whlile the pro
duet of such land, of a dry season, is cer
tanly anythting but encouraging. It is to
the interest of every' plantter thtat his corn
lad be deep antd shorottghly broken. Nomt a
frow ever should be rum short of a depth
of ten inches, whtile even fourteen inches
would not be too much. The advantages of'
deep plouin mg are so niany and so platin to
e seen, that we deem it ttseless to dw~ell
upon themt at length. Corn gromwintg nim
land broke tett ot fourteen ittebes deep, de
rives a greater benefit, iti any season, by
beitg better able to expand its roots to a
larger extent of soil, atnd thus gather in
Vreasedt stretngtht antd sustenantce, thatt it dues
fromt land not broke so dleep, in which roots
are itecessarily contracted atnd are loreed to
occupy a stmall space, or force their way
through a firtm anti uttbrokenm soil. But itt a
dry season the advantages of deep plowing
are incalculabtle. lTheti it is that thte great
advantages of this principle are to be seen
wherever put in practice. Land deep and
thoroughly broke never suff'ers for the want
of raitn, evetn itn out' warm climate. By break'
itg our land deep, the roots oi' the cortn
peetrate to a greater depth than in shallowv
broke latnd, amnd by this meatns are ettabled
to draw a sufficientt supply of' moisture, f'rom
its increased depth, independent of tain. Nor
is this all ; for, should the season pt'ove wvet,
the surface moistttte sitnks down to the bot
tom ol' the deeply plowed land, and is there
stored away as in a reservoir, upon which
the roots can draw for sustenance ad libitumn.
Manurc well ,-Plow deep anid plant early !
if you desire corti to " sell and keep."
Cotton Secd Miasher.-Mr. T'homas Dixon,
of Hatncock counity, (carryinmg out the sug
gestiotn of' Dr. Lee, if we mistake not, in the
southern Cultivator,) has appended two cyl
inders to his gitn through which all the seed
passes as it falls fr om the litnt, and is crack
ed so as to prevetnt germittalion. T1his (as
clear from chetnical as wvell as practical
tests) tmakes it a much more valuable fertil
zer, because much ts lost in going through
the process of heating. Af'ter mashintg, we
would suggest that the seed be kept under
shelter itn a cool dry plaice, antd tnot in too
large a bulk, or with poles runnting through
theta to prevent heatimtg. Mr. D. is one of

For Gentlemen it will be found agreeable, warm, and

cannot become wet if the Hydromagen is inserted. Ladies
may wear the lightest soled boots or shoes in the most in
clement weather with impunity; while Consumptin, so
prevalent among the young of our country. may be thwarted
by their gene adoplon. They entirely supersede oe.

placed inside, does not Increase the size if the boot, or
