MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors.
Let idle Ambition her hatibles pursue,
While Wi-dom looks down wvith disdain,
The home of the farmer has charm4 ever new,
Where health, peace and competence reign."
& [F our readers think that there is a
falling )fl' in the editorial of this department,
in the present issue, we beg their indulgence,
while we state a few reasons for the@defi
ciency.
In the first place, we are very buisy-at.
tending to our farming operations. We are
fencing, clearing up, reparing tools, fixing
gear, and doing every thing in our ppwer to
make a crop to suit the hard times. Break
ing land, gardening, and a host of other
things might be addt d.
Another reason is, that we have been
neatly dunned to death;-and as we think
our brother-farmers are pretty much in the
same fix, we know, from experience, that
they are almost afraid to read a newspaper,
for fear of stunbling ,r, a dun or a notice
" to pay up." This grates harshly upon an
empty poeket, and in order to soothe and
comfort them as much as possible, we are
somewhat disposed to give them a short re
spite. The last reason we give, is an infe.
rence drawn from the old adage, " Touch a
manl's money and you touch his heart." As
we have no money, of course we have no
heart to write.
That Farmer's Club.
OUR esteemed friend and correspondent,
Col. FRAztR, in his piece published some
weeks since, spoke of the " Edgefteld Far
ners' Club," by the decision of which a
Silver Watch was to be awarded, &c., &c.
Where is that Club I When will it meet?
When will it be organized f A proposition
was made by some, some time ago, that we
should form a District Agricultural Society.
What has become of that .demonstration f
Why do our farmers take so litde interest in
matters relating to their own advantage?
Why do they exhibit so much less energy
and public spitit in Edgefield, than it neigh.
boring Districts? Will some one please in
form us?
Work for February.
THE following admirable hints, on the
work necessary to be accomplished by far.
mers during the present month, we pluck
frot " The Soil of the South." The re
nark upon the time of planting corn, viz:
" to plant when you are ready," strikes us
as hein" very sensible. There is nothing in
the cuiltivat ion of a corn crop that tells more
deci-ively upon its fate than ample, careful,
cotmplete preparation. Int clay lands espe
cially does this assertion hold good, and
more especially, if those clay lands be at the
sanme time bottom lands. We have known
the best of corn crops made upon lowv
grounds with one and a half workings after
the planting of the seed. Before planting,
it was worked twice at least, and very thor
oughly. Cortn plantted thus, grows off cheer
ingly, makes rapsidlv, suffers less from drouth,
and, in nine cases out of ten, gives a more
abutndant yield. The same will hold as to
clay up-.lands. And we do not see why it
should not be egnally true of sandy uplands.
At the same timtet however, that we wouldl
urge atmple preparation, we would also ad
vocate as forward planting as possible. 'Tho
distinction we mean to draw is only between
late planting with first rate preparation and
early planting with very slack preparatiun.
The former we think preferable in all cases
on bottom land, and in almost every case in
uplands, unless it he where the corn crop
followvs a tneally cultivated cottont crop.
But heed the remarks of the " Soil of thc
South."
By the first of this montht, the fields should
all lbe itn mder for the plowv-logs piled antd
burned, fences all repaired, small grain all
sowed, plows all in mnotion. Now is the
time to put your ground in good condition
for cropping. Work slighted now will have
to he dotto over, and tnot well done at that,
hereafter.
It is a wonderful saving of time and trou
btle to have every thing int complete order
for doinig good work, before the seasotn's
plowing is commetnced. See that plow
sckplow htoes antd plow gear are all
in good trimn in the beginning, anad little
painsa will then keep them so. Better post
pone the commencement of your operations
for a few days, and get every thing in order,
than be compelled to stop a plowv after you
have begun, to attend to some neglected job.
See that every plow boy has his gear wvell
fitted to the mule, anid provide him with a
curry combt, and require hint to use it. 'The
plow team should lbe in goo er to start
wtth, and if well cared for, it'should be ini
good order when the crop is laid by. It is
not so much work, that kills up our mules,
as inattention. Let each plow boy have his
particular mule, and make him responsible
for its treatnmettt. And make him responsi
ble for his plow anti plow gear also. Provide
him with a place for keeping them, antd see
that he keeps thent in place.
" Corn is generally planted, in this latitude,
durintg the latter half of this month. The
generalI impression is, that the sooner corn
is planted, if it escapes thre frost, the better
the yield. Our observatiotn has been that
corn planted about the fifteentlh or twentieth
of the month is as likely to escape the frost,
as that planted betwveei, the twentieth and
the last. No matter, however, whether early
or late plantling is the better, don't plant till
you are ready to commence. The difficujlty
which wei have most frequentlyfobserved in
corn planting is, that we are apt to give it too
little distantce. One stalk to every sixteen
square feet, that is, four feet each way, is
close enough on the uplands of this country.
If the corn is drilled; the rows should be
about five and a half feet apart, and the corn
should stantd three feet in the drill. It may
look like throwing away land, hut more corn
wil be m~a thn if it is planted closer. Even
in the river bottoms, we think, corn should
never be planted more than twice as thick as
this.
" The use or a solution of some sort, for
soaking the seed before planting, is benefici..
al, not only in protecting the corn from the
ravages of insects, but as a stimulus to its
early growth: the following is recommended
for that purpose. The day before planting,
put two pounds of copperas in warm water
sufficient to cover one bushel of corn. The
next day, take a peck of the corn and mix
with it, thoroughly, a pint of sort soap. Thqn
stir into it plaster enough to make the grain
drop freely."
FOR THE ADVERTISER.
MESSRs. EDITORS:-Your note, asking
"What has become of " FARMER," and has
he told all he knew ?" was duly received.
Yes, gentlemen, " FARMER" has about told
all he knows ; but he wants to Icarn, and is
open to instruction at all times, especially in
the business of Farming. He rejoices to
see that a "Farmers' Department," is, at
last, apparently, firmly established in the
columns of the " Advertiseri;" and hopes
therein to derive much instruction from the
model farmers of Edgefield.
The object of my present writing, Messrs.
EDIToRs, is to learn how to raise Irish pota.
toes. I have tried as many as six different
plans, within the past few years, recommend.
ed by as many different individuals, but I
can't succeed with them as others say they
do. The best that I can do, is to raise bare
ly enough meager little things for Spring and
Summer use ; although I follow instructions
to the very letter. The plan that I have suc
ceed best with, is the pine straw plan, re
commended by Col. Sioiss, some years
ago. But the difficulty with me, in this plan,
is to get a good stand. The straw must he
put on pretty thick-from 12 to 18 inches
else it won't do any good ; but, then, the po.
tatoes won't come up well-foi me. How
do you manage to get them up?
I also want to learn how to raise water
melons. Ah, who would refuse to partake of
a nice sweet water-melon on a hot summer
day ? It would be hard to find such a per
son. Mr. " BAD LUCK" haS told uS how he
didn't raise them last year; but that failure
was an experiment, I presume. I dare say
he can tell us how he did raise them the
year before. I can do that much-that is,
I can tell how I raised some very fines ones
in 1853.
The spot was very poor-as poor, I be.
lieve, as land ever gets to he-and very small
too, being only large enough for twelve hills.
I dug large deep holes, and in the bottom of
each put a double handfull of hogs' hair,
gathered up from where the hogs were
cleaned ; then filled up the holes with rich
dirt from the woods, packing it down gently
and covering it over with a light coating of
sand. In this latter item, I had the idea of
Mr. " BAD LucK ;" for I thought the sand
would keep the hills from baking. Every
body knows that a first year's new ground
is a good place for water-melons. T[hat fact
induced me to pbt in the dirt from the woods.
I could tell you what induced me to put in
the hair, but am afraid you would laugh at
the idea, and therefore, I will leave it for
you to guess. If there was any benefit in
it, you can explain it better than I can.
But I assure, (whatever may have been the
cause,) the seeds came up unusually quick,
and the vitnes flourished amazingly, and bore
aundagy of as fine, sweet melons, as I
ever sawv anywhere. Not a bug or othmer
enemy of melon vines was ever seen about
them. They continued to bear throughout
the whole Summer, and supplied us with
plenty of fruit. Last year I was too lazy I
to take any pains with my melons, and the'
onsequence was, I had none fit to be eaten.
FA RMER.
REMIAtKs.-WVe have also beetn muCh
troubled with bad stands of Irish Potatoes,
n all our experiments; but gtil lately have
weo learned how to obviate the difficulty
bout getting a good stand. Platnt your
potatoes with matnure to your own taste, and I
let them stand with a light covering of earth,
ntil they are fairly up, then give them a
od wvorking and mulch them with straw
r leaves to the depth of ten or twelve in- I
hes, and we doubt not entire success. It
requires the warmth of the sun to bring up
the sets, and wvhen mulched in planting the1
sun cannot reach the set with a heavy coat
ing of straw over it. A great many of the I
sets thus perish or rot, and all are retarded.
The Science of Gardening,
As a science calculated to sustain the
high importance of horticulture. Botany
has been long considered as worthy the at.
tention of the learned ; but the garden has
been left to the control of suhordinary tal-.
ent. And while every expense is lavished
in importing and fostering even the wvorth
less weeds of foreign count:ies, our conserv
atories, as well as gardens and orchards, are
too often found to lie little better than ex
hibitions of deformity, disorder and prema
ture decrepitude. If it be thought worth
while to enquire what is the cause of such
a state of things, may it not be answered
that botany is generally understood to com
prise nothing more than a knowledge of
the exterior construction and the classifica
tion of plants; and, that it therefore affords
no other occupation for the mind, than the
study and application of dry rules and ta
bles; that the garden is considered as ad
ministering to the animal functions only;
and that its productions are regulated and
determined by a mysterious art, a knowledge
of which can be attained onily by a labori
ous attention to coarse and unpleasant mat
ters, and is therefore, unworthy the occupa
tion of a delicate and cultivated mind. But
whatever may be saidl of botany, it must
surely be admitted, that such an opinion of
horticulture is founded on a most deplora..
ble error. What seience presents a- moret
extended and varied occupation for the mind
than the physiology of plants ? What more
healthful amusement than their cultivationi
And what can afford a mnore delightful and
independent gratification than ther produc
tions? However elaborate and conclusive
may have been the works of botanists; how.
ever successfull the practical gardeners in
their productions, it is tneverthelest, obvious, I
that these two departments of horticulture
are very imperfectly connected ; for although
origainal p..incaile or cae,aye well
toderstood and explained, and the most s'at
sfactory effect partially produced, a due
[iowledge of horticulture cannot be said to
,xist, unless the progess or laws of nature,
which lead from cause to effect, and con
iect the one with the other, be understood
mnd elucidated. Is it not to be desired, that
:nieory and practice he united? Surely it is!
'ransplanting Trees, Roses, Shrubs
and Evergreens.
From an article recently published, we ob.
erve that November is recommended as the
proper season to transplant fruit trees. Some
seasons this rjonith would do, but the present
year the transplanting of fruit trees would
bave been extremely hazardous, as we have
not as yet, in middle South Carolina, had a
liost sufficiently severe to check vegetation
ompletely. Our young trees and roses took
such a strong growth after the extreme hot
weather ceased, that it will take, at least, till
the twenty-fifth of November to fit them for
transplanting. A tree should never be taken
up whilst it will visibly shrink upon removal.
We have no criterion in the dropping of the
leaves of the forest trees, as the origin of
forest trees is so .various that many kinds
reqire a certain degree of cold to stop their
growth. Young nursery trees, too, being
well cultivated, hold their leaves longer and
grow more luxuriantly than fruit-bearing
trees in orchards-so the proper time to trants
plant is, whenever the juices of the tree be
come inactive. A dry summer, with an ex
treme degree of heat, followed by a delight
ful and seasonable autumn, prolonged into
the heart of winter, has with us added a
third more wood of late growth to trees, and
has at the same time delayed the season for
transplanting.
In South Carolina, we find no difficulty in
triisp! iting trees and shrubbery from No.
vember 25 to as late in the Spring as we can
retard the leaves. Trees should never be
touched when the soil is frozen. The milder
and drier the weather in winter, the better
the success will be had. We dig our holes
after pl)wing the land, as deep as we can
twelve inches deep, and at least five feet in
diameter. We half fill the holes with good
rich vegetable compost, broken bones, &c.,
and then place the tree in its proper position,
the earth in the hole being a little more ele
rated immediately under the trunk. We then
place the roots so that they are arranged in
every pait of the hole, when it is filled up
,aretilly with a bimilar compost. The tree
should not be planted more than an inich
deeper than it stood in the nursery. When
the hole is about three parts filled, we pour
iently around the stem about five gallons of
water, after which the operation is finished
y completely filling it up, and making a
light mound around the trunk. We never
mck in the earth around a tree, as the wa
ering will consolidate it sufficiently around
he roots to inake it grow. This watering
vill be all the tree will require, if it be prop
rly inlched with leaves, straw, sawdust, or
ild tan-bark. If trees have been long out of
ie ground, the roots should be well soaked
ix hours before planting, and we have fre.
Iently revived such as were to all appear
nces (lead, by buryimg them entirely in the
rth for ten days, after having restored vi
ality to the bark by soaking them in water.
l'he trunks of all newly transplanted trees
hould lie protected from the sun. A bunch
>' broom sedge, so common every where in
lie South, if properly tied around them, is
le best means of doing so. We head in all
rees severely, no matter how fine the roots
nay he prepared for remtoval, one year pre
riously, by cutting in both thteir heads and
-oots lbut, at best, the removal of large trees
t the South is hazardous and unprofikable.
Bakes to trees are useless. When a tree
vill tnot -stand erect, it should be mianured
ud cut in till it acquired sufticient vigor to
tanid as a tree. Tlhe knife anid food is all a
ree requires to keep it erect and vigo~rous.
Until newvly plaitted trees are firmly rooted,
hey shtould lie regularly insp~ected and
straightened up. W hen watering is nec essa
ry, the earth should be removed for a fewv
iches from the tree, .and the wvater poured
,rently around the trunik, till the earth in the
~iciiaty of the roots absorbs it. This should
ec done in the evening to be effective, and
he small hole made should he carefully filled
p the next day b~y sunrise, wvith loose mello w
arth, tafier which the mulching should be
lace-d around the tree. When thme buds of
newly pltanted tree are dormant and late
trtinig, we have frequetntly found that an
dditionial watering of te limabs and trunk
innediately roused them into active growth.
ni fact, by wrapp~inig the stemn and limbls of a
'aluable pear tree, the roots of which had
een destr,,yed by rats on shipboard, with
-ags, and regularly mnoidting them, we pre
erved thes variety, and induced the tree,
whi-h had not a vestige of fibrous roots left,
o live and flourish. Ilt is -now tas vigorous
s5 need be, anid its roots have spread as wide
y as its top).
For tranisplantti ng roses, evergregrts, and
brhbery, we would advise the deep andi
borough pireparation of the soil throughout
he whole plat, ad then plant much in the
amo mannmer as directed abovo for fruit
rees. Roses and decididious shrubs, and
uch evergreenis as do niot belong to the
;oiferw and cypress families, should have
heir heads well cut in. The Pinaces, em
rcing the stihorders of Abietee and Cu.
>resserc, and in wvhicht are comprised the
Firs, Cedars, Arborvitae, Cypresses, larches
and lhl resinous evergreen trees together wtith
he yews, do not require much pruning, when
ranslanted, as it must b~e donia whena the
rees are very small. The holly, both native
and foreign, and which under proper culture
s a beautiful erergreen tree, requires great
utting in wvhen transplanted. All land be
'ore plamnting trees should he thoroughly
Irained.
We receive so many queries as to these
higs, that our leisure will not permit us to
nswer each dorresponadenit seperately, hoew
ver much we might be inclined to do so.
ie, therefore embody the above hints anld
sk the newspapers of the State to give them
mlcity, as mutters of getneral interest to
heir readers.

The HYDROMAGEN is a valuable diacovery for protect

Idoic to disease.
For Gentlemen it will be found agreeable, warm, and
healthy, to wear In the coldest or rainest weather, as the f*e"
cannot become wet if the Hydromagen Is Inserted. Ladies
may wear the lightest soled oots or shoes in the most in
clement weather with impunity; white Consumption, so
revalent among the young of our c.untry, may be thwarted
by their general adoption. They entirely evprsede over
hoe, as the latter cause the fiet to perspire - a very un
healthy manner; and, besides. are not dangerous wear to
gedestrians In icy weather, like India rubbers. While the
ter cause the feet to appear extremely large the dro
magen, being a ,r.ere thin slice of cork p ,e pecd. y
placed Inside, does not increase the slze f the bot, or
cause the fiol to appear untidy. To Children they are ex
tremely valuable, as they mav engage in exercise with cons
fort and healthy etfeets. ''heir expense is so slight as to
scarce need mention; besides, those who patronize them. w11
