MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. Let idle Ambition her baubles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with disdain, The home of the farmer has charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." 07 WE, call the attention of our readers to the admirable article by our esteemed correspondent " Rosa COTTAGE," which will be found in another column. We re turn our unfeigned thanks to our fair friend, and most sanguinely hope that she has a " few more left of the same sort," for the farmer's department. 0zr OuR correspondent " T. J. 1H." of Georgia, has our thanks for his practical views in answer to some of our queries. We hope to hear from him often. Information Wanted. WE would be obliged to any one, among our many readers, to give us a short essay upon the subject of over-cropping, stating s disadvantages and giving us the proper quantity of corn, cotton and small grain that should be cultivated to the hand. We are very desirous to take advantage of the hard-times and the low price of cotton, and make some experiments upon a small crop ; and we promise, for the benefit of others, a fair report of the same. The subject of over-cropping is one of interest, and .one with which practical farmers are familiar. Who will respond ? We would like very much to have the ex perience of any one, who has tested the use of Kettlewell's Salts as a fertilizer-whether or not, in its effects, it is an improver of the soil, or only a stimulant of the growing crop. , We would also like to hear from any one who has used Guano, Ground Plaster, or any other imported fertilizer: stating the quantity per acre used, its cost, and the net yield in produce over and above the ordina ry yield of the land. Planting Wild Orange Seed. 'T'o persons wishing to plant the wild or . neck Orange seed we furnish the following direcla/ns: lave the ground spaded very deeidy.2nd manured with good wood-pile AsCXmpyW . or mould from the woods; then make.. y-:ry small and shallow trench, sow ,the seeded cover with planks until the seed havc..sprouted, then raise the planks by setti::-der them bricks or something else .tA'wiilgive them about three inches eleva tion. Let then thus remain until they have taken rouot.aad commence leaving, then re move the. boards, and they will fionrish well. If the seed a--e covered with earth they wvill be a longtime cominig up, aind will probably not comle.UoDt all. For the J~efit of our Crooked Run Dorrespondent.

Ie who most early approaches the regulations here laid own will, in our estimation, deserve that Weecr Watch. M1essas. EDIORros.-l will try my hand nce more, and I have no doubt, but that a rge amount of the readers of your valua ho paper think that I wvrite about little things, ,d that is the way I want them to think; '- I write about little things be cause they 'i little things. By my writing, 1 do not expect to benefit ny moan very much, if at all; but I hope by riting to draw some man out on the sub et, that is better calculated to do the cause slice than I am. My rule about work is - eat breakfast before going to work, but to it arnd be ofT by (lay-light, from the 1st of ctober, to tile 15th or 25th of March .d from that to) the first of October, start daylight and work until 7 o'clock, and "p for breakfast, which they are required take with them, or I have it sent to them it is any distance, and allow only some. enity or twenty-five minutes to eat. Then .,rk until half-eleven o'clock, and stop for muer, and allow from one .to two hours (as push may be) to eat dinner and rest. ten work until dark. Negro women should be made wash once .veek, which will tke but little time ; an .tr or two of a Saturday evening is suffi -nt time for them to clean their clothes. I .nk it is essentially necessary that negroesI 'made to clean, not only their clothes, but ir person-their skin should be washed :e at week in summer time especially. als process not only saves their clothes d makes them last longer, but promotes -ir health amid well being. And I always I much better on Monday morning, when hands unde,. mea re cleann and decent. 1 think it advisable that negroes be allow ed to go to Sabbath preaching occasionally, and I make it a rule, when not contrary to my employer's views, to require such as Are under my control, to do so in cleanly appa rel. Let them know that you have a good feeling towards them, and they are sure to respect you, and obey you, and do it willing ly. I have found it difficult to do business successfully with them, when I have to force everything out of them by the lash; and here I will drop this remark, that too much whipping does more harm than good, not only to the negro, but to your business ard yourselves. I believe in chastising them vben they need it, and am always certain to do it when they deserve it, but I always try to be merciful. I am fully satisfied that it is a matter of impossibility to get on with them without it. But there is no use of split ting the skin for every offence. The draw ing of blood creates a vicious and bad feel ing in them towards you. I make it a rule to teach them to do their work as fist as they possibly can to do it well, and be able to stand it. And I use the best of judgment that I can command, about the length of time it will take to do everything I put them at, and force them to do a day's work in a day. It is strictly necessary that the overseer sees into each negro cabin once or twice a week, that it is kept clean ; they should be made wash their houses out every two or three months, and keep their yards and un der their houses clean. Overseers should watch carefully over their employer's stock, horses and mules, particularly that negroes have the manage ment of. I never allow theni to whip work ing stock, or beat and abuse them in any way, only when I am immediately present, and then only when I see or think it will make the horse or mule more tractable. I never fail to be in the horse lot at feeding ime when it is possible for me to be there, aiud see that all the horses or mnles are fed in their proper places, and the proper amount of food given to each animal. Horses and mules that have to plow hard ill summer time, should not be put up and confined in close stables and stalls at night. They should be allowed the privilege of a good roomy lot to walk and wallow in, they rest much better, and are not so liable to b stif fened by a hard days plowing. They should have salt plenty at least three times a week. I prefer salt and ashes mixed, to the salt by itself. Negroes should never he allowed to run or stroll off of the plantation at night, but should be made go to bed in good tine, and all at once as near as possible, so that one may not disturb another. They should all be made to rise at the same time precisely. I do not make it a rule to call every negro to get up, but make them rise by the sound of a horn or bell. A blast $rom a horn is sufficient to raise all hands; and if you find one a little slow, without good cause, a few cuts from your cowhide, or a good sound slap or two on the side of the head, will bring them all to the place next morning at the proper time. DECATER. FOR THE ADVERTISER. The Farmer's Winter Evening. THERE are a few seasons which we can conceive more really pleasurable than a far mer's winter evening. We will just itmagine the occupations of the day over, the lowing kine and blatinig cattle in the barn-yard, and Phillis, with pails overflowing with the snowy foam, wending her way to the dairy. Thien comes tihe matron, or perhaps her eldest daughter, to attend to tire straining, skim ming and putting away in tire sweet clean vessels, and tihe wiping off of every speck or spot from the white anid well-scoured shelves. By the time that Mary, Susan or Eliza has superintended the arrangements of the bouri tiful table-from thre golden butter balls to the delicate rolls and rich breads, the steam ng coffee, the creamy milk, arnd perhaps juicy spare ribs arid sausages,-tre fare md his boys enter, use tire wvater arid towels provided by the dutiful daughter, anti afterj takinig a warm at- tire blazing lhickory fire, athier round tile fruits of their own industry, :o satisfy their well-ea nrned appetites. Thle repast finishedl, tire table prit in order indi tile hearth swept efean, the farmer takes ls seat in his favorite corner, with his spee tailes pushed up above his sun-burnt brow, ad hris pipe and tobacco box ready for his evening smroke. Ini thre opposite nook, tire good dame occupies her eczy rocking chair, withr her knitting pins going at tihe rate of ten knots tire hour. Tire girls are seated round tire little work table, witih their work boxes and baskets, tihe rainbow tints of~ their patchwork peeping out here arid there ; nd then comes a short discussion as to which has the prettiest pattern. Eliza's is a aid-work with delicate wreathes arid bunches a flowers scattered over-Susan's a hexa on, and Mary's an intricate star, a speci. ren of the taste of a certain gallant yoning gentleman. After the old gentleman ques-j ions tire boys as to the feeding of thre stock, tie loc.kirng up of various outhouses, arnd rumerous othier little matters, Ned or Tom hunts up the last paper, the good old " Ad 'ertiser" it mray be, arid at thro request of tire parents, reads it aloud. After going throughr the editorial for father, the obituaries for mother, the marriages for tire girls, and the advertisements for the whole pairty, the paper! is turned again and the literary selections read over. In tire middle of a romantic lovesketch, a rnoek is heard at tihe door, and a youth enters who has been for sometime asting sly glances at one of the girls. Th'ie work is laid aside, but the farmer insists that he story be finished. So Ned resumes and is tire names of the hero and heroine are William and Eliza, tire first being tihat of tire young lover, the latter of his irrnmorata, sly winks and smiles ar-e exchranged from one to the other of the group, to the confusion of the twvain anid the merriment of the rest.I A pples, nuts arrd cider, or perhaps " persim ron beer," are brought next. Th'ie merry jest goes round, places are exchanged until tire young lovers are left in some distant corner, nd the quick, low, endearing epithet is whlis pered-not so low though, but that the lis ening ears of To catches the faint echo, which re-echoes from Ned to the girls, and 1 burst of merriment peals out on the warm pnial atmosphere.. Nine o'clock comes-the hickory logs ave been consumed, and great living coals gleam out from the ample fire place. The rgood dra nnts up Irne stck ing. HrP h1us band yawns and prepares fosenother smoke. The boys give ominous hints as to the late ness of the hour. The girls chat on glibly, endeavoring to prolong the departure of the smitten Adonis, until at last, after a sudden pause, the gallant youth bids the group good night. In an hour's time silence reigns over the happy homestead. ROSE COTTAGE. SONG OF THE FARMER. BY T1RE t PEASANT ARD.) Give to the lord his palace grand, And halls of splendid pride; A fig for all his dignit ice, And all his pomp beside; Give me the Farmer's peaceful home, Beneath the maples high, - Where Nature's warblers wake the song, The waters prattling nigh. The citizen may love the town. And Faehion's gaudy shov; The brilliant pagantry of Art May please the eye, I know; But Nature's charms delight the heart, All simple though they be; The acres broad, the streamy vales, The lowing herds for me! What though the bronze is on our cheek, Toil calloused is our hand, With honest pride we stand erect, The nobles of the land; For1 " patriot Truth," that spirit bright, In this wide world so rare, Points proudly to the Farmer's ipme, And cries-My own are there. CHoRUs. Then here's to hin, who tills the soil, The true, the strong, the brave! Without himi art wnuld fly the land, And Commerce leave the wave; And vet no frown of hauteur cold Distains his manly brow ; Hail to the farmer, thrice all hail! Lord of the mighty plow. FOR THE ADVERTISER. MA:ssRs. EDrrORS :-L have noticed seve ral questions in your paper, upon which you desire to know the views of the farmer ; and as your columns are free to all, I thought that I would give my views in part. First then, as to the fifth question which is this, " Whether it is better to burn off new ground late, and plant immediately, without further preparation, or whether it may not be better to burn off early and break up well." I have had some experience in this matter. I have tried both ways, and give a decided preference to burning off' about the last of March or the first of April. Immediately after, run a furrow with a small scooter plough, and then drop the corn and cover it with the plough if the corn is put in drill, and with a hoe if in check. Break out baulks with a small bull tongue scooter plow or a colter. You need only plow the corn, after it comes up, twice, and hoe it two or three times. I always rather hoe new ground corn the first working that I give it ; for it cleans away all the bushes and weeds that always spring up on freshly-opened land. I then let the plow follow, and it can do its work just right. I know a good many of my neighibors, who always break up their land soon, fronm one to three times, and plant early. But I adhere to the above practice, and always make better corn, than those who cleaned off their ground early and broke up their land so much. Several of them have followed miy plan since I moved into this settlement, and they say that they mazke much better corn thtan under the old system. To your seventh query, I would answer, from my experience, that 30 ears of good corn and '1 bundles of good fodder per day, will keep a good horse fat for the work of a farm, if the horse has a good warm stable, atnd is r ubbed and cturrietd as all horses should he, or 91 bushels of corn per annum. To the eighth, I wvould answver that I do not thinik mtch of the strait shovel, from the fact that a large otto is very heavy to pull; besides, it opens the land and~ leaves so large a fnrrow that it is liable to wash and make gullies. I prefer for making corn, the small scooter plow, arnd a small half shovel to any other jidow in use. I lay by with a good sweep). To the thirteenth proposition, I woultd an swer that the maximum task of a good hand in cutting and splitting rails should be two hundred, or with the timber cut, three hundred and fifty. T. J. HI.

Int the Southern States new interest has beeni awakened, and the best talent of the country is engaged to illustrate the sub ject. Lately in North Carolina the Hion. Abraham WV. Venaible delivered an address before the Cumberland County Agricultural Society. On being called upon for a copy of his address, Mr. Venable declines, sta ting that it was an unwritten production, hastily prepared. In the conclusion of his letter ho makes thre following excellent sug gestions: "To every cultivator of the earth I would say 'magnify your office.' The apprecia. tion of this noble employment can never lie high whilst those who arc occupied in it consent to holtd it as an obiscure and humble calling. Thre farmer princes of thre State ought to rule its destinies and control its counsels ; and farming education is the first step to that result. Speed the plough should be our banner cry, anti the fields oh our be. loved State wtill respond by beauty and pro duction." TO ALL WHO ARE IN ARREARS TO THE.
