MESSRS. COLTER a SCOOTER, Editors. "Let idle Ambition her haubles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with disdain, The home of the farmcr has charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence rei n." To the Ladies! Ix order to make our " Department" more useful, if possible, we propose to devote half a column each week to " Domestic Recipes.' As we are sure that we have a full share of No. 1 housekeepers among our fair readors, we call upon you, ladies, to give us the re cipes of all kinds of good and savory dishes. This will be of great benefit to one and all; for by giving one recipe you will perhaps get a dozen or more in return. This is a small investment that will pay handsomely. We appeal to you, Ladies, and we trust that our call is not made in vain. Be just, Brothers. As some of our bretheren of the press have fave failed to give us credit for ex tracts from the " Farmers' Department" of our paper, we are constrained it self defence, to administer a slight rebuke. We are not vain enough to claim anything more than justice, as we have made no pretensions to the honor of being known among the corps editorial. But we beg our brother editors to remember, that although we are only known as " COLTER & SCoOTER," we are men of like passions with themselves-men .of flesh and blond-whose feelings are not as hard and impenetrable as iron and steel and that we have rights in common with " the rest of mankind." Remember also the fabled Jackdaw and do not strut in borrowed plumage. " Honesty is the best policy.' We try to be just towards our bretheren in giving them credit, for all that we borrow, and expect as much from them. " Verbum sat." We havo refrained from giving names, be lieving that the cap is sure to fit the guilty A Flower Vase to make. TAKE a cow's horn, or if you will, a ram's or bull's horn, the fresher the better, so the pith has left it, and tie a string o ribbon around the large end. Put in your flowers and fill w'th rain or spring water, and suspend it to a rail. The horn affords rich nitrogenous sustenance for the flowers, and will make them keep longer and better than if left to grow in the soil unculled. A horn vase may be highly ornamented ac cording to the taste-either scraped and polishedl, or dressed wvith green velvet, ribbon or silk. lt may be covered with pine burr scales, or shark skin, or other substances ac cording to convenience and fancy. tsaee lors, try it by putting a bunch of Johnquills in one, anid a bunch culled at the same time in' a umbller or ear thenware vase, and report to your hidyloves ; and assure them that nc had odour will attach to the horn, as this will all be consumed by the flowers-though You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will, A slight scent of the horn will cling to it still. To prevent Rabbits from Barking Fruit Trees, WE are informed by an experienced far mer of our District, that annointing with bacon rynd the trunk of the tree, from the ground up beyond the reach of rabbits, will effectually prevent their depredations. From the Soil of the South. The Culture of the Sweet Potato. HAvING received several letters from abroad, as well as requests from friends near to~ w'rie out my mode of cultivating the sweet potato, I have concluded the easiest way of answering all, would be to furnish an article to your interesting and useful pa per ; prefacing my remarks by saying that the plan, herein given, was highly successful the last season, notwithstanding the long drought and great heat, my crop mieasunirig three hundred and seventy,-two bushels, heaping measure, per acre, anti much larger than any raised in this section. A bout the middle of February, 1 open a bed four feet wide, six inches deep, and of sufficient length, and fill with fresh stable manure, to generate heat; cover with one inch soil ; take the seed from the bank and .break them into pieces of suitabile size for planitinig; then spread them evenly and close over the bed, and cover with four inches of earth, and leave them to sprout ; when you find they have all sprouted, (say middle of March) spread over your land a good coat of stable manure ; also, sow, broadcast three hundred pounds of guano, and one hundred and fifty pounds of plaster per acre; plow all in with a large two horse plow, running close and as deep as the horse can draw it ; check it off three and a half feet each way, and drawv up hills as high and large as the space will admit of; let one hand go ahead with a stick four feet long and two inches in diameter, sharpened to a blunt point, and make a hole in each hill some six inches deep; open the bed carefully and take out the seed without breaking off the sprouts, and drop one piece in each hill and cover. When the potatoes and grass come up, run one furrow each way with a solid sweep which will shave off the lower half of the hill-with the hoes shave ofr the upper half; in two or three weeks another coat of grass will have come and the potato vines be run ning ; carefully place them in alternate rows, and piow those left bare with a turning shovel, running twice in each rowv, throwing the dirt up to the hills, after plowing out, place the vines in the rows plowed, and plow the others; then cross plow wtith a long rooter, running twice io a rowv, and draw up the hill to its first size with a hoe, leaving the top like a saucer; particularly avoid cov ering any part of the vine, whenever covered they put out roots, which mnaterially diminish their product. My success was owing to high manuring, deep and thorough cultivation, and an early start, on sandy soil. The cost of raising was eight cents a bushel ! $20 for manure, $10 for cultivating, is $30 per acre-372 They were gathered by plowing-no hoe being used, small hands following the plow and picking them up-the larger hands cut ting off the vines close to the hill with knives and dragging them out of the way, made the gathering easy and expeditious. None were cut and very few left in the ground. Respectfully, yours, E. T. 8. Wyunton, Jan 1855. The Working Pariner. THE Editor of this agricultural monthly after copying an article of ours upon the subject of " Saving our Land," by the use of guard drains, hill.side ditche's &c., makes a suggestion, which we give helow. Al. though he is mistaken as to the purpose for which our drains or hill-side ditches are used, his suggestion may be of benefit in some way or another. As our ditches are only used to guard against the washing away :of our soil by heavy rains, we can have but little use for his boring implements, unless we get the telegraph size. This, we are certain would be a useful implement upon every farm, for the insertion of fence and gate posts, stack poles, &c. We recommend the following remarks to those who wish to under-drain bottom land or crawfish flats, as containing some very practicable hints. We would suggest to the South Carolina farmers referred to in the above article, that they may rid their side hills of the perni cious influence of resident water, arising from local springs, which approach near the surface, by a very simple method. Augers or borers are now made of 2 inches in diam eter, similar to those used for boring the soil for the insertion of telegraph posts, and if at spaces of 20 feet apart in each direction, they will bore holes in their side hill soil. lifting out the earth to the depth of 3 feet. T[hey may then insert in each hole a com mon ceiling lath, and the next day will be able to ascertain on which of the laths the water has risen to the highest point. By following the line of those holes in which the water shall approach nearest to the sur face, they may make a drain which will cut off, and carry away, all the springs: where. as if such drains be dug by guess, they may escape such points as would effectually rid them of the excess of water.-[Ed. TILL LITTLE AND THAT LITTLE WELL. 'Tis blly in the extreme to till Extensive fields and till them ill. The farmer, pleased, may boast aloud His bushels sown, his acres plowed, And, pleased, indulge the cheerless hope That time will bring a plenteous crop. Shrewd common sense sits laughing by, And sees his hopes abortive die; For when maturing seasons smile, Thin sheaves shall disappoint his toil. Advised, this empty pride expel; Till little and that little well, Of taxing, fencing, toil, no more Your ground requires when rich than poor; And more one fertile acre yields Than the huge breadth of barren fields. FOR THE ADVERTIsER. MEssus. EDITORS: As I promised that I wvould write again, I will now give you and the patrons of your valuable paper, my method of raising Cotton. In planting stub ble land I do not break it up (in fact I break up no land for Cotton) until about the 10th of March. I lay of with a small scoo ter plow, rows varying according to the quality of the land, and after drilling in whatever manure I have, I immediately bed thereon, always prefering to throwv up my beds as high as I can get them. I let them thus remain until the tenth of A pril, w~hen I begin to plant. I think Cotton planted from the 10th to the 25th of A pril will do the best. In order to plant, I take a piece of hard, seasoned wond, ash or hickory, 1 inch thick and 3 or 4 inches wide, and 8 or 9 inches long, and sharpen it like a scooter plow, leaving it straight in front, and bev eled in the rear, and open with it to the depth of 2 or 3 inches. I prefer the wooden plow to the iron because it is not so apt to run too deep. I then roll my seed and drill them sparcely in the furrow, as much Cot ton is injured in being planted too thick. The next and most important thing in plant ing is covering the seed properly. The way I cover is by taking a board 20 inches long, 7 or 8 inches wide and 1.i inch thick. The left-hand end of the board is left its full width, while the right is narrowed downt to six inches wide by gently circling out the board from the left end. I prefer covering with this board to any other mode because the land is not so likely to bake after it. I run the wide part of the board in the middle of the row and cover thme seed with the right end, and run back on the other side of the bed in the same manner, only running a little more to the right that all the seed may be well covered. Trhus all the trash and litter is thrown off the bed and it is as high as when I begun, while at the samne time a young coat of grass (if any) is completely killed. The first working I give the Cotton, and that as soon as it comes up, is with a sha ving sweep of my owvn invention, made in this manner : Take a piece of blisteer steel 16 inches long and bevelled to a very sharp edge, have it welded to a bar about 8 in ches long, at an angle of about 45 degrees, and set the blade to run nearly flat on the ground. This sweep will clear away all grass and wveeds and trim the Cotton to a straight and narrow stand. The next wvorking is with a twvister, run ning the bar next to the Cotton and chop ping it out to stand with a narrow hoe. Then rutn the wing to the Cotton and plowv out the beds, and bring the Cotton to a stand by thinning it by hand. The crop is then tended with a wing sweep and laid-by at farthest by the first of August. A word about Cotton seed and I am done. There are a great miany new seed for sale at very high prices. Any farmer that will go over his crop the second picking, and select the largest boles from the most thrifty stalks and save them separately, and con tinue his selection for a few years will have a plenty offive dollar Cotton seed. T. J. H. Useful Receipts. CAMPHINE FOR PoLISHIING.-Ladies are very fond of keeping the door knobs, spoons, plates, &c., In brilliant order. Now, if in. stead of water and chalk, and such prepara tions, ladies will use camphine and rotten stone, a far brighter, quicker, and more du rable polish can be obtained than in any other way. Camphine is the article used for producing the exquisite polish on daguer reotyple plates, and nothing has yet been found to equal it. So says an exchange, and it is worthy of a trial. To KEEP A STOVE BRIGHT.-Make a weak alum-water, and mix your British Lustre with it, perhaps two teaspoonsfull to a gill of alum-water; let the stove be cold, brush it with the mixture, then take a dry brush and rub the stove till it is perfectly dry. Should any part, before polishing, be. come so dry as to gray, moisten it with a wet brush and proceed as befire. To RENOVE STAINs FROM I3ooxs.-A so lution of an old oxalic acid, nitric acid, or tartaric acid, is not attended with the least risk, and may be applied upon the paper and prints without fear of damage. These acids taking out the writing ink, and not touching the printing, can be used for restoring books, where the margins have been written upon, without attacking the text. To CLEAN OIL PAINT.-The best thing for cleaining oil paint is a sponge dipped in ammonia which has been copiously dinted with water. Soap dissolves the turpentine as well as the linseed oil, and not only de stroys the smooth and shiney surface, but exposes also the lead to the ir fluence of the water and air, and is, therefore, not practical. L AMPs will have a less disagreeable smell if you dip your wick yarn in strong hot vinegar and dry it. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EDGEFIELD DISTRICT. IN EQUITY. M. S.
