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." LEVITT'S CORN AND COBB CRUSHER. ONE of these unrivaled mills is now in use by a company of our citizens, and from the character of its performance, so far as we have been able to judge, we think that it is calculated to achieve wonders in the econo my of horse and cattle feeding. We think if Mr. LEVITT or his Agent would advertise in our columns he would hardly be able to supply the demand for his mill even in this quarter of the world. It is no humbug. These mills are manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee. THIT SUB-SOIL SCOOTER. OUR friend Capt. BYRD, of Greenwood, sent us, some time since, a plow made for siding Corn the first and second plowing. This plow is one of great value-one that will do its work thoroughly. It is made of iron, two inches wide, and nearly one inch thick, with a wing about one and a half in. ches widb tapering to the point of the plow, which is flat and a little hent downwara. We have tried this plough and can recom. mend it to the farmers of our District. This plow is made to fasten upon the common plow-stock, and any smith can make it. Kr TILE Farmers' Club who are to award the premium of the Overseer's Watch, will consist of the following persons, viz: Dr. E. J. ANrns, Col. J. F. TALBERT, Capt. GEo. BOSWELL, HIon. T. WATSON, .nij. Wxr. DANIEL, Turos. PAyNE, W. N. MOORE. It is to be understood, that every thing produced on the plantation, during the present year, is to be rendered in the amount of pro. ceeds. TILE PLOW, THE LOOM, AND- THE ANVIL. WY have received the May No. of this A No. 1, Agricultural journal. It is undoubt. edly, in our opinion, (and we are generally correct,) one of the best publications of the kind now extant. It " points out, also, the true policy to be pursued for the encourage. ment of American industry, without which there can be no secure foundation for Amer. ican Independence. It is issued MoNTurLY, each number containing sixty-four pages of reading matter, with frequent illustrations, engravings, &c., at '$3 per annum." Address MvRn FIscu, No. 9, Spruce street, New York. RIEFRESHlING SEASONS. DURnGs the past week we have been blest with fine seasons, and our hearts should be raised wvith the most sincere gratitude to Al mighty God, from whom cometh every good gift, and every mercy and blessing. Vain are all the labor and toil, the energy and skill, and the most untiring exertions of the farmer if God crowns them not with his benignant smiles. Unless " the early and the latter rain" are sent by a merciful Providence, in vain we plant, in vain we sow, and vain is the hope for harvest. We cannot bo too grateful to our God for his mercies-and there are few, if any mercies and blessings vouchsared to man, of greater value and of more vital importance than that watchful Providence wvhich refreshes the p~arched earth with genial showters. As there is, in our opinion, no greater scourge-no greater af fiction and no earthly calamity moro to be deprecated than a famine, even so we think, that the refreshing seasons-rich indications of the goodness of God-are to be regard. ed as blessings of the highest grade. The misery,wvant and distress wvhich would irnevitably follow a failurc of the present crop, cannot readily be imagined. When we remember that corn is now $1.40 per bush. el, bacon 12k per lb., and filour $12 per bbl., added to the fact that in consequence of the extreme severity of the winter and the scarci ty of corn in a large portion of 'Tennessee and Kentucky, the hog-crop is said to be re duced to a bare sufficiency for home con sumption ; and, also another fact of no in considerable magnitude is, that such is the mania for cotton that most of our farmers have only planted corn enough to supply their own wants, and a bare sufficiency of that -we are startled at the thought of what might be the consequences of a failure of the present crop. We earnestly recommend to as many of our farmers, as have lowv, good, bottom land yet unplanted, to plant corn and keep planting until as late as the tenth of June. Corn planted even as late as the 15th June will mature, if the fall is ordi narily lnte, and in case of an early frost, the corn, though soft, will fatten our pork and in this wvay will be wvorth as much as the hard c6rn thus saved. To MAKE YELLOW BUTTER.-A writer in the Dollar N ewspaper says: There has been a great deal said and wyritten concerning yellowv butter in the win ter season. Some have recommended yolks of eggs. I have tried that to my satisfac tion. It will 'scarcely mix with'the eggs, and when you come to work the butter, (that is if you- work it riglit,) the eggs wvill york out, leaving the butter as at first. The plan wvhich we pursue and find best is this: Scrape a piece of car-rot wvith a knife, then take the scrapings and steep them zas you would tea. A fter steeping strain the juice f1rom'the carrot and put in ,tlie cream just hefoa churning. Thlere should be about a int of the liquid to ten pouinds of batter. MWV is enther hetter than wnar. A NEW USE OF THE LEAVES OF THE PINE. 1 EUREKA! Eureka!! We have long since been yearning for a gold mine, or some other money making machine; and never until now have we been able to stumble upon the "one thing certain." Read! Read!! And let our piney woods be as touched with a Sy bil's wand, converted into one inexhaustable bank of money, that will, like Robbin Rough. head, make all the paupers rich, marry all the old-maids and widows, cure all the sick and put a stop to doctors' bills, and, in short, will turn every thing up side down except our pockets. Near Brealan, in Silesia, in a domain call ed the Prairie of Humboldt, there exists two establishments as astonishing for their pro duce as for their union. One is a ianufac tory which converts pine leaves into a sort of cotton or wool; the other offers to inva lids, as curative baths, the , aters used in tho manufacture of that vegetable wool. Both have been erected by M. de Pannewitz, in. venter of a chemical process by means of which it is possible to extract from the long ands lender leaves of the pine a very filace ous substance which he has named woody wool; it can be curled, felted and woven. All the ancular leaves of the pine fir, and of the conifere in general, are composed of a fibillm extremely fine and tough, surround ed and held together by a resinous substance under the form of a thin pellicle. When by decoction and the use of certain chemical agents the resinous substance is dissolved, it is easy to separate the fibres, to wash them and free them from all foreign substances. According to the mode of preparation em ployed, the woolly substance acquires a quality more or less fine, or remains in its coarse state; in the first instance it is used as wadding, in the second to stuff matrasses. If the pine has been preferred to other kinds of pitch trees, it is on account of their needle shaped leaves. It is thought that a similar result might be obtained from other trees of the same species. The tree can be stripped of its leaves when quite young without any injury. The opera tion takes place when they are still green. A man can gather two hundred pounds of leaves a day. It was advantageonely substituted for cot ton and wool in the manniecture.of blankets. The hospital of Vienna bougit five hundred and, after a trial of several years has adopt ed them entirely. It has been retnarked, among other advantages, that no kind of in sects would lodge in the beds, and its aro matic odor was found agreeable and benefi cial. The blankets have since been adopt ed by the penitentiary of Vienna, the chari ty hospital and barracks of Breslau. Its cost is three times less than that of horse-hair, and the most experienced uphold ster, when the wool is employed in furniture, could not tell the one from the other. The article can be spun and woven, re sembling the thread of hemp for its strength; it can be made into rugs and horse blankets. In the preparation of this wool an ethereal oil of pleasant odor is produced. This oil is at first green ; exposed to the rays of the sun, it assumes an orange-yellow tint; re- I placed in the shade, it resumes its former green color ; rectified, it becomes colorless. It differs from the essence of turpentine ex tracted from the same tree. It has been t found efficient ini rheumatism and gout ; also as an anthehnintic in cutaneous dliseases. Distilled, it is used in the prepartion of lac of the finest kind. It burns in lamps like t olive oil, anid dissolves caoutchouc complete ly in a short time. Perfumers in Paris use it in large quantities. .c It is the liquid left by the decoction of thea pine leaves which has been so beneficial ini the form of bath. The bath establishment I is a flourising one. The membranous substance by filtration at the tirte of the washing of the fibre is pressed in bricks and dried ; it is used as a combustible, and produces, from the rosin it ontains, a quantity of gas sufficient for thie I. ighting of tbe factory. The production of ' i thousand quintals of wool leaves a quanti ty of combustible matter equal ini value to ixty cubic metres of pinie wvood.-Plow, Loom and Anvil.t S.AW DIUST FORt STAB.118 By placing a seaifld under the sawvs of saw mills, large quantities of saw dust may C ,e obtained, and opportunities often occur n af obtaining it from other wood sawing ma hines. In some respects it constitutes an d ~dmirable material for littering stables, amnd I t is the more valuable this winter on ac ~ount of the scarcity of straw or its value C or food. It possesses one great advantage Iti ver strawlitter, in the character of the man- o re it forms, being entirely free from the oarse and fibrous texture which renders ti ong manure so difficult to spread well, or a ntermix thoroughly with thre soil. M-anure iti nixed with saw dust litter only, possesses aill he power of wood, saw (lust, from its pul. d rerization, will decay in a single season ; the e nore durable kinds of wood will remain nuch longer, arid these are admirably adap-' ed to loosening heavy soils by keeping them si nore open, and rendering them more absor- g ent-possessing this advantage over a mix. tI ure of sand, that it carries the absorbed R ertility into the earth with it, wvhich sand annot do, although the latter forms a more y lurable constituent of porosity. e WVe observe that Dr. Dadd, in a recent ii our in the Western states, notices thie use >f sawvdust for the purpose of littering horse tI itables in the western cities, where inidepen- tI ently of its economy, it is regarded as far; g uperior to any other material. -1The large si uantities of liquid manure wvhich it absorbs, b' enders it a drier bedding, at the same time ec ess of the peculiar gas of~ badly littered sta- t[ les escape into air. Dr. Dadd, however a nakes one objection-the injury it may do he horse's feet, by rendering them brittle,. ii account of its absorbing properties. We ti san see no force in this objection. Saw ti lust absorbs more water than equal bulk of Ci trawv not on account of any chemical or in- ti serent property it possesses of abstracting I water, but solely from its greater mechani. b al porosity. Its absorbent qualities -are precisely like those of a sponge. When the liquid is already free and separate, either la saw dust or a sponge will suck it in a mo- y met; but they cannot withdrawv it from the p still finer pores of a horse's foot. A dry b~ sponge placed in contact with the hand will -d not produce that dry parched feeling caused p by the piesence of powdered quicklime, for t the coarse capilliary pores of the sponge s cannot abstract moisture from the fine capil liary pores of the hand. Hence a spongea cannot make ther skin of the hand any drier, - nor a bed of saw dust render the hoof of a orse drier, although both may remove from i the surface any moisture from perspiration or other cause, wvhich has been already e posited there. ydo NOTE THIs.--In a cloudy morning it is ab matter of importance to every -farme. *to I know whether it will be sunshine or Rhoivery oles nicely, and piled the dirt up high, it eldom fails to bring a good day for the armer, or even if it should be cloudy till ten r:eleven o'clock in the forenoon. Spider vebs will be very numerous about the tops if the grass and grain some cloudy mornings, mid fifty years of observation has shown the vriter that these little weather-guessers sel lon fail in their prediction of a fair day. A GOOD PROPOSITION. The last number of the Edgefeld Adver iser contains a letter from our esteemed 'riend Capt. Thomam B. Byrd of Green svood Abbeville, proposing to organize a 3tate Agricultural Society to meet.in Co umbia. Capt. Byrd is regarded, and rightly :oo, one of the best and most practical far iners in Abbeville District, and a suggestion >oming from him deserves the serious con -ideration of all persons engaged in the iame pursuit. Columbia is undoubtedly the roper and only place where a society of this kind can meet to enlist the attention of ost of the planters in our State. We may be told that the South Carolina Institute is intended for a Stute Society and there is ao reason for having another, but by refer ring to a catalogue of.the .articlea on exhi bition at the fifth Annual Fair, now open in Charleston, clear and unmistakeable proof of its inadequacy to the wants of the State will be seen in the small number of articles sent from the up-country. Six or seven articles in the agricultural, about the same number in the mechanical departments, and a few articles of fancy work constituted every thing sent for exhibition from above Columbia. Why is it that we were not better repre. sented? Not because our people do not see the importance of united action in the ad vancement of agricultural and mechanical pursuits. It is because the society was out of their reach. It takes a great deal more time, trouble and money for our people to exhibit the products of their industry at Charleston than at a more central point. We heartily agree with Capt. Byrd in thinking December an improper time for the meeting of the Society. Everything to be done in the State is crowded into Columbia during the session of the Legislature to suit the convenience of persons wishing to see, -hear, and take part in everything by one short trip to Columbia. The consequence is, nothing is well dove and many objects of importince are lost sight of in the hurry and confusion. If the object, the society has in view, alone, is not worth a trip to Columbia the sooner the pur uit of it is abandoned the better. True a Ixrger crowd would be in attendance in De en;her than at any other time, but they vould be generally persons knowing little and carinn- less about farming ind mechani :al interests. If a person is not sufficiently nterested to go nurposely to attend these neetings, it is no't very likely that lie will rove any benefit to its .doliberations. We have no fears lowevor but that it will Yell bo attended if it is once hlitly started. lhe beneficial effects would soorl commend t to the patronage and encouraget.lent of dll classes of our people. Our State .too, yhose liberality has done so much.to im. rove our commercial relations should assist ilso in the advancement of other industrial )ursuits. The Legislature of Missouri gives noble example in encouraging the forma on of Agricultural Societies granting to ach county forming such an isociation 100-for each $300 subscribed by then. This or similar p~rovisionls should be made your Legislature if not for the assistance f District Societies at least for the establish ,nt and supp~ort of a State Society in a entral point of the State that would serve s an incentive to inidustry to the citizens in very portion of tho State.--Spartanburg ixpress. TIlE lIlTClE.N. WVe give to intellect, to morality, to reli ion, and to all the virtues, the honor that elongs to them. And still it may be bold affirmed, that economy, taste, skill, and etness, in the kitchen, have a great deal y do ini imaking'life happy and prosperons. Nor is it indispensably necessary that a ouse should he' filled with luxuries: .All me qualifications for good house keeping can e displayed as well on a small seale as on large one. A small house can be more easily kept lean than~ a palace. Economy is most eded in the absence of abundance. Taste is as well displayed in placing the ishes on a pine table, as in arranging the dds of a damask curtain. And skillful cooking is as readily discov red in a nicely baked p)otato, or in a respec ie johnny-cake as in a nut-brown sirloin, r a brace of canvassback. The charm of good house-keeping is in i order, economy, and taste displayed in tention to little things. And these little ings havo a wondertul influence. A dlirty kitchen, and bad cooking have riven many a one from bomne, so seek for omfort and happiness somewhere else. Domestic economy is a Science-a theory life, which all sensible women ought to udy, and practice. None of our excellent rIs are fit to be married, until they are oroughily educated in the deep and prbo und mysteries of the kitchen. See to it, all ye whlo are mothers, that ur daughters are all accomplished by an peimental knowledge of good house-keep .-Ohio Farmer..
