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.

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.

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.

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. I

" .MAGNIi~v YoUR OFFICE."-ThO busi
nress of a farmer is every where coming into
favor as the first and noblest enmployment of
man. 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."
