CARPENER'S SHEET SYSTEM OF CUTTING DRESSES AND OTHER GARNTS. NaxT to the Iron Plow, this, farmers, is the thing for us.. While our boys are at the plow our wives and daughters at home can cut for us a jack. et that'will fit like Ned Bugs' shirt. This is a.system of cutting ladies dresses, -&c. gentlemen's dress, frock, sack and round. about coats, pants, gaters and vests-also, youths and boys' clothes, of all sorts and stiles, to fit most accurately. This is done by using four simple and plain patterns by taking a few measurements of the person. Any farmer's wife or daughter, or himself, if lie is a bachelor, can easily learn in a day, to put by this system, any garment with ease, with a little instruction. These, when cut, will be the real bon ton, scientific touch clothes, too ; they will suit either farm, the parlor, the chappel, or the State House. See advertisement in another column. COTTON SQUARES. WE received, some ten or twelve days agog four or five finestalks of cotton, with numer ous squares on each. . They were forwarded by the-superintendant of a farm about four miles from the Village, but we suppress names for reasons of our own. We would simply suggest to the overseer of that farm that we think it would be better policy to let such stalks remain in the field and mature, if he is rlnnin g for " that watch." Vanity is a - fault to which the human race is liable. A thrist for fame too often induces farmers and overseers to exhibit this reigning passion by sending. in the first square, first bloom and first bale of cotton-for what? to be talked of and to feast their love of praise. If this species of vanity was attended with no other harm than satisfying a thirst for rase we- might say it was laudable, and even encourage our brother farmers to use this means of provoking one another to more skill and energy in their vocation. But be i'eving, as we do, that these undue exertions for fame, are far from laudable, and certainly not the criterion by which good or bad farm ing is to be estimated; and believing, that these first bloom and first bale farmers are aznconsciously doing themselves and the w ~hole planting fraternity a serious injury, we are constrained to condemn the practice. it is not unfrequently the case .that a few stalks spring up in the field where a load of manure was thrown, or where a fodder stack - rotted, and growv rapidly, and as they promise the first square or bloom, the overseer w"atch es and nurses them with tenfold attention. So soon as be can by parting the bud-leaves discover a square, he mounts his horse and rides in triumph to the next farm and crows over his neighbor, &c. But when the first bloom is open he pulls up stalk and all, mounts his horse, and hastens to the Adver tiser with it to be published, and here is the evil. It is a well known fact that the papers of the South are eagerly sought by cotton dealers, manufacturers, and speculators in England, &c., and that their estimate of the growing crop is too often based upon these first bloom and first bale reports. Hence we perceive that the price of cotton is often knocked down by these unreliable reports -these lies-for we cannot find a more gentle expression by which to call them. As soon as the first bloom is published here, the cot ton dealers in England are notified and post *ed, and when the paper reaches that distant shore, that same cotton bloom is there para ded and -the growing crop is estimated as being very forward and of course to be un usually heavy. The price of the stable is put down, and we are thus cheated out of thousands of dollars. Cotton Planters! be ware of " thatfirst bloom," and let your first bale of Cotton be the last sent to market. For the Advertiser. Massas. EDrrons:It is not to be disguis d - that many who have no property seek em ploynient from those who have it, with no due consideration of their ability to manage, or even to learn to manage; but to have more leisure and make more money. 'They -seek no reputation in skill, but in the number oef dollars they can make without mange neut.. This is a known and fatal mistake. -It iszequally true that those who possess pro perty consider their individual ability to nrage it out of the question, in proportion to the amount. of property they possess. -This is their .nistake. ..Farmers who have suicient property to'be- relieved of manuel labor, instead of being. reliened froms man agement have a wider field for their services and usefulness, which should denmAnd their closer-observatios; is it is uell caleclated to ~ constantly etnploy the best winds. - Amistake is tis respect has scattered to the " four winds" many a fortune, and-re jesonted thie farmer's calling s uncertain &ad dangerous, a slow way to make monev, and Lb affording no honorable employment -for the cultivated mind.

If we follow it, it is from necessity* f we communicate any thing about it, it simply amounts to a fine mess of beats or potatoes to the editor, or the proceeds of a certain turnip patch, where perhaps the bows and a few hogs happened to sleep. Is it not then, a fatal misthke to possess or attend a farm without considering the ability to do so. Mr. Editor, there are several questions growing out of the one-the farmer's re. source-which, duly considered, will show many mistakes- in farming, but I stop with this one, for the present. A BACK-WOODSMAN. From the Newberry News Mirror. MEssas. Editors :-Meadows for hay should be brought into service whenever it is practicable, as the trouble is less, and the yield greater than in almost any other de partment of agriculture. I report a single meadow, and its manage. ment, which the owner believed was exceed ing profitable. It is in the latitude of the middle country of South Carolina, particu. larly favorable to the cultivation of grasses, and affording a great deal of the right kind of land for it. This meadow was a piece of flat land, of about two acres, just below the house spring, made swampy by the branch which run over it. The grasses which grew up luxuriantly, reminded the enterprising planter, of hay-making, and he resolved to go at it. He had a ditch opened between the meadow, and the hill on one side so as to drain the land and leave it all in a body. Then the growth consisting of sweet gum, and water willow, was cut down, and haul. ed off, the trash was all removed and the meadow was ready. No plough was ever put into it, no grass seeds were ever sown upon it. Nature was left to herself, and the result was admirable. Early in the season there was a fine crop of weeds, grasses, and water sprouts-the scythe was put in, and they were all turned into hay, and in the fall another crop was gathered of rather a better quality, and quite a quantity of hay was laid up for the cattle in the winter, The next year the crop was better, and the blade was used one time more than in the preceeding year. The third year the crop was perfected, and the mowing kept up three times every season. Now favorable as I am to many varieties of grasses, offered for different kinds of soil, and for different times of the year, I doubt if there is any better method of hay-making on wet land than the one now under considera tion. Make the land clean, never plough, never sow, do nothing but reap ! The plan ter, I report was a good one, successful at least, in acquiring a good fortune by planting alone-the improvement of his lands being a part of thatfortune, of course-and he said his two acres of meadow were far the most valuable of all his lands; and for stock pur poses worth twice the number cultivated in any other way. He bad a large hay house in his barn lot, whore he packed every cutting, while it-was yet sweet, and full of juice-he thought it lost at least 5 per cent. by stan ding out and taking a rain or two. When the season was favorable he never thought of less than eighteen or twenty wagon loads f hay from his meadow, and I have known old hay of two or three years standing in he back part of the house still fragrant and ood. I never knew this careful, prosperous farmer hard up. The times never got hard with him ; he always had something to sell ! T'here's the. secret, he always had something to selL RE modus in rebus. RURAL. BoN~s.-Save all the bones of the meat onsumed on your place, and every other place, as every 290 pounds dissolved with 100 lbs., of sulphuric acid, diluted with twice the quantity of water, if mixed with 20 bushels of spent ashes, will fertilize an acre of ground sufficiently well to carry it through a four or six years cultivation to be arrowed in. Attention'to such things, may be consid red a small matter, but attention to such things, though they may be thought small are calculated to produce large results: for an acre thus manured that previously would ot bring more than 4 bushels of corn, may be made to produce 10 bushels and continue in good heart for several years. The wvorld itself is an aggregation of small particles, so formed by our Creator that man should not hold himself above so divine an example. While upon this branch of the subject, we will remark, that there is scarcely a farm or plantation of any considerable size in the couptry whereon there are not soap-suds, and urine enough spent annually to fertilize 100 loads of marsh and river mud woods mould, and kindred substances, so as to make the whole the most enriching manure, if these substances were, as made, poured over the rough materials named, and a little plaster sprinkled thereon, 100 loads thus made would manure 5 acres of land thor oughly and wvell, and make it bring as many bushels per acre of any vegetable product as would 300 lbs. of guano per acre-with the difference in favor of the former-it would last longer. To be sure, the hauling and spreading might make it cost more but then being of domestic production, the fact. of its being so ought to commend it to attention. The American Farmer. CURATIVES FOR BARREN LANDs-" ome lands are barren in consequence of noxious ingredients in the soil, which by their chemi cal action on the food of plants, or on their minute fibres prevent their growth and ren der them sickly and abortive. These having been ascertained by careful gnalysis, must be deprived of their noxious qualities by chemical moans, one of the most obvious of which is burning or baking. Nature has supplied a general and complete antidote to acid combinations; in Lime, one of the most abundant of mineral productions. There are few bad soils which lime will, hot im prove. The most common substances found in barren soils are different combinations of metals,,principally iron with sulphur and acids ; quick lime either decomnpeses all these or renders them innocuous; another substance is tannin, or the astringent princi ple, which is of ~vegetable origiU5 and, by preenting the solubility of vegetable fibres, transforms them into a innmable sub stance well known by the name of peat or moss. This, likewise, is readily corrected .byghe saue. means, and experiencee has eQ!4 that of all substances which can be obtaned~in .safileliant quantities lime is the most valuable as an improver of bad soils. But tlWdifiu'et,substances of which a soil is composed maybhe- perfectly innocuous. to vegetation, a'd yet the -barrenness may not be the less, if the.supply of circulation of moisture be defidient.'or excessive. This must thierefore he the Jrsioonuideration; be fore any improvement iS:ae5tejd; and if sufficiet moisture-edunhot -se 4upplied, or suprfluous removed, alt-otheraattem ,tsrwill on' b otIbr atoia climnates, ir th mos expensive works have fbeen en. structed both in ancient and modern times to supply the land with.: water ai occasion requires. n northern and moister climates, the- foundation of All improvements in the soil is a proper outlet to superfluous - water [by draining.]-Rev. W. L. Rham. CANDLES.=The Laurensville Herald has lately tried some home' made tallow candles presented him by Mr. Martin Shaw of that District, and speaks of them on this wise: " They give a steadier light; make' less smoke, require 'less snuffing, and what, -in our opinion,-is the greatest recommendation, they do not melt in burning,' and cover the candlestick with tallow. For the' informa tion of those who make their own candles, we are permitted to give the secret; which is simply one ounce of turpentine, extracted from the growing trees, to one. pound of tallow. Itis so simple that we are afraid but few will think it worthy of their trouble to try it." We look upon this with suspicion; for we remember to have bought some tallow (or lard) candles once that had tar or turpentine, we can't say which, in them and they were nearly worthless. But little risk would be run in making an experiment or two in a small way.-Chester Standard. -OREGoN PEA !-A few years ago, much fuss was made about the Oregon Pea. Every one was looking out for it, and we thought that the " Cow," " Lady," and "'Tory" peas, would soon be banished from the farm. The excitement died away how ever; the Oregon pea was not introduced into general use, and like the Morus Multi caulis, we supposed it to be an undeniable humbug. In this, however, we were mista ken. Dr. Win. Robinson, told us a few days ago, that he had tried the Oregon pea on his farm, and found it a superior-pea in every respect. It yields more abundantly than any pea he has ever tried ; grows much lar ger, easily cared, affords a'great quantity of food for cattle, and is well suited to reno vate an exhausted soil. Thereupon, we re versed our judgment, and determined to re commend it to our farmers.-Anderson Ga. zette & Advocate. VALUABLE RECIPE.-The following me thod of manufacturing Blackbery Wine, we commend to our readers as perhaps the best yet published. It produces an article superi or in color, and vivacity to any we have had the pleasure to quaff: leasure your berries and bruise them ; to every gallon adding one quart of boiling water. Let the mixture stand twenty four hours, stiring occasionally; then strain off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding 2 pounds sugar, cork tight, and let stand till following October, and you will have wine ready for use, without any further straining or bottling, that will make lips smack,.as they never smacked under similar influence before. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING GUANo.-In the application of' this valuable manure, it is ne cessary to keep in view its powerful proper ties, and to exercise great care to prevent its coming into immediate contact with the newly sown seg.r the foliage of plants and flowers. .It never should be placed in con tact with seeds ; for all seeds in the process of germination give off a greater or less quantity of carbonic acid and vinegar ; and these acids, having strong affinities for the ammoniacal portion of the guano, are apt to attract it so pon-erfully as to check and even destroy vegetation.-Washington Union. How TO PROXOTE THE HIEALTH oF FAn~s AAxxrs-All domestic animals should ne abundantly furnished with- salt. A supply kept within their reach, whenever it can be done, is recommended. Horses and pigs should occasionally have ashes given them in their food ; and pigs ought at all times, when confined in pens, to be supplied with charcoal, as, besides being a medicine, it is a cheap and valuable food. A SAFE TooTH PowDER.-Cut a slico of thick bread into squares, and burn it till it becomes charcoal. Pound it, and sift it through afine mffslin. It is then ready for use. To DESTROY Woxxs IN GRAVEL WALKS, &c-Pour into the holes a ley, made of wood ashes and lime; this will also destroy insects, if trees are sprinkled with it. Salt and wa ter will do as welt. To DESTROY RATs A.ND MICE.--Mix flour of malt with some butter ; add thereto a drop or two of oil of anise-seeds; make it up into balls, and bait your traps therewith. If you have thousands, by this mearns you may take them all. Baoox CORN is a native of India, and was int, educed into this country by Dr. Benj. Franklin, who found a seed in an imported u isk and planted it, and from this smell be. ginning arose this valuable product of in dustry.. Great Bargains in Dry Goods!
