Mussas. COLTER & SCOOTER: Dear Gents.Please accept the present I send you-it is a portion of one sent to me by a young gardner. I would have been more liberal, but my selfish appetites van quished my generosity and I could do no more. As you are fond of chemical analy sis, perhaps you may find in the package am ple amusement of the kind for several hours. Get to work with your acids and give us a fine article on "Green Corn-Its Shocks and their properties" in your next Outside issue. Y'rs. fraternally, A. SIMK[NS, I. E. NEW-GROUND TURNIP-PATCH, June 20, 1855. Dear Col.-We accept the present, i. e. the green corn-shucks after you ate all the corn and cobs. Notwithstanding we have plenty of corn and shucks too, we have not been so hard run for something to eat ts to think of eating such trash as that. He that would eat green corn " would fain fill him self with the husks that the swine did eat." In fact he would eat cow-cumbers and ingerns and black pepper. But there is no calculating what some per sons of large Alimentiveness will eat. How ever, we will fix up a mess of vegetables just to try you. Well now for the analysis of green corn shucks of 100 parts: Water, (you know what this term means) a large portion, say - - - 50.00 Carbon, (fire coals or the residue of a light-wood and blackjac fire, char coal or chalk, to make black marks and good for sour stomach) - - 30.00 Saccharine matter, (Sugar we think you'll understand this term better), 10.00 Vegetable fibre or woody matter, (saw-dust,) - - -- 5.00 Greenness, (shewing itself in animals as well as vegetables, especially those that feed on green corn) 5.00 100.00 For analysis of green corn and cobs, we refer you to your alimentary gusto, and as it has made it in a natural laboratory, it will doubtless be punctilliously correct-for "the proof of the pudding is the chewing the bag." Yours, Outsidely, COULTER. CORN FIE LD, June 26th, '55. DEAR OoLa-Having just taken (not a hasty plate of soup) but a bate of fine, de licious, sugary, melting and juicy water mellons, tbe real lhoney in the gum, we take pleasure in sending you a fewv of the rinds to miake yourself some pickels to keep up your appetite for green corn. We do this the more readily as our fair donor of Beech Island re quested us to share this treat with you. We thank you for the shucks. Yours, with iron-affection, SCOOTER. AGRICULTIIAL CONVENTION. To the Farmers and Planters of South Car olina : In agricultural and horticultural produc tion nature appears to have extended our labors in almost unknown success, when we employ those labors in harmnony with her laws of existence. We can almost sup pose there is in man a faculty of increasing the stores that nature has presented for his support. The use of this faculty raises him from barbarism to a civilized condition, and elevates him above every other link in the chain of creation. With this power granted to our intelligence and industrial energies, we should always enjoy a prodigal profusion, if actively and legitimately employed ; but man is not yet established in the full use of the powers of his intellect; custom,prejudice and passion yet rule in arbitrary ascendency over reason, judgment, and consciousness. In our country agriculture has reached a downward point of critical importance, which every lover of his pursuit, of his coun .try, and his fellow-man, should feel deep in terest in, and lend the willing and helping hand to stay further destruction, and thus .keep off want from his own home. As a starting point of this praiseworthy and ne cessary work, an Agricultural Convention is now being called for. We know not what is proposed for such a convention to do. A mass meeting would end in no results but failure to accomplish any good. The old adage here, "that in a multitude of of counsellors there is some safety," we think would he 'a nullity. The element of mind needed to meet for accomplishing the objects of such a meeting should have been for some time pre-occupied concocting utili tarian and practical principles, and then come together,. compare .notes, bringing mind in contact with mind, and the whole range of the figures of thought to play in inductive and deductive plenitude, and thus work obt common sense plans of action in future improvement.. The work of improve ment and progression has never originated in the masses; the labor of thought, however humiliating to our selfishness and individual pride, is left to the few. In every section of our country are men who look ahead of to day-who count up the result of the past, and apply it to- the present and future. These are the men that we want to come together and give us counsel in our time of need. When we look back on the past, and then on the present, we can clearly recog nise the prejudices of farmers against all in novations upon their established practices; these prejudices are as old assagriculture it. -self; indeed it is not far back in our past history-when the dark trammels of super. stition and religious bigotry ruled the mind -that a man who, by any rationally. im proved method in tilling the ground, made greater crops than his neighbors, was char ge1 with nsing, snnernatural means; and in stances are on record of their being tried as being wizards, orof being in league with a certain diabolical power that their-old-fas'i ioned neighbors did not much admire. Su perstitious ignorance is opposed to all chan ges-there is no enlightened intelligence to to discriminate between a purely speculative untried theory, and a practical theory work ed out by experience into principles based on facts. Prudence that dictates caution we do admire; but unmeaning protests, without reason, are the results of ignorance, and ever will retard and embarrass all improvement. In 1793 the government of England from the representation of her intelligent agricul turists, instituted a Board of Agriculture Sir John Sinclair was chosen President, and Arthur Young Secretary-the results of which are now being felt all over the united kingdom, and even in America., This should encourage us to move forward in the matter of a meeting of the intelligence of our coun try. Every District and Parish in the State, from " the deep blue sea to the cloud cap ped mountain," should call together her in telligent agriculturists at Columbia, or any other point in the State, to there discuss the matter, with all its importance, and through the press put into every man's hands the re sults of their deliberations. Much good will result-the mind of the people will have a tangible base to rely on. It will hwaken the energies of a whole peo ple, and a thousand foci of improvement will start up under the magic of an enlightened public opinion, to radiate good around, if alone controlled by the force of imitation. From two to ten men from each District and Parish should, we think, constitute the numbers of an Agricultural Convention. Men of all political and religious opinions can meet together on this matter of com mon interest; the passion cloud of politics, the smothered burnings of religious intoler ance, and office-hunting sycophancy should be denied an entrance to this meeting, and then will it be free from the designing dema gogue, and all the petty jealousies that gen erally mar conventional mass meetings. The integrity and unity of purpose of the meeting will be maintained and followed. These are the opinions of your fellow-agri culturist, [Banner. ABBEVILLE. REASONS FOR DEEP PLOWING. The deeper the soil, the more deeply the roots are permitted to descend, and the more. widely are enabled to spread them selves-unless they penetrate a substratum unhealthy from wet, or the too great pre valence of an unfavorable mineral substance -so much the more luxuriant and produc tive is the vegetation likely to prove. The depth in which the roots of plants will go down in search of food or moisture, where the soil is in a condition to be penetrated by them, is greater by far than superficial ob servation would induce one to suppose. Some writers assert, that the roots of cer tain plants-the lucorn, for example-go to the depth of fifteen, twenty and even thirty feet. This seems, indeed, to be incredible. Red clover, we know, will extend its roots to the depth of three feet; and wheat to the depth of two or three feet, when the condi tion of the soil is favorable to their exten sion. In the light, alluvial soil of our Wis consin prairies, there can be no doubt that this degree of penetration is often attained, where deep plowing has preceded the sow ing of the seed. Von Thaer, the distinguished agriculturist, says he has " pulled carrots two and a half feet long, the tap-root of which was proba bly another foot in length." Trhe tap-root of a Swedish turnip has been known to ex tend 39 inches, and according to Coleman, the root of Indiani corn full six feet. Extraordinary as these statements appear, they are doubtless true; and the lesson they teach is one of practical importance to every farmer. Deep plowing will secure a more thrifty and luxuriant growth. By due atten tion to this simple and obvious truth, the husbandman will give every opportunity for the roots, and their extremel'y fine fibres, to extend themselves as far as their instincts may prompt them, and reap his reward in increased yield and a more healthful growth. Try it, and see-Carolina Cukivator. SYMPArnr WITH 8ToCK.-Do not believe that they are so dull as not to understand and appreciate your kind feelings. Last week a noble horse got loose upon the farm, and for an hour gave the astonished neigh bors the most wonderful specimens of " ground and lofty tumbling they had eaver witnessed. Coming to .spots in the gardeni where the loam was light and deep, he would plunge, into it, roll, then rise, shake his sides, and with nostrils red and expanded, with mane, tail, and heels flying, showving his shoes nearly ten feet in the air, he bade defance to bis pursuers and their long poles ! He gained the centre of the field, and then stood snuffing the gale from every point, the noblest animal of creation, next to muau. A boy approached him with outstretched arm and gentle words-" Poor fellow! Come ere. I will not strike you." These were more potent than the poles had proved ; the horse met him, rubbed his nose against the boys's jacket, and said as plainly as he could speak-" I'll trust you; wve are friends." and was led away to his stall. The animals of the farm soon become acquainted wvith the looks and manners of those about them, and will usually return such treatment as they receive.-N. E. Farmer. BEST VEGETABLE FOR MICH CoWs. The vegetable I wish to recommend as the best, all things considered, for milch cows in winter, is wvhite flat turnips. Some por aps, will object to the turnip, because it will affect the taste of the milk and butter. So it does if fed raw; this can be avoided by boiling. For each cow boil half a bushel f turnips soft; while hot add five or six qarts of shorts, which will swell and you will get the full worth of it. A mess like this ed to a cow once a day, will produce more milk of a good quality, than any other feed t the same cost. Turnips fed in this way o not taint either the milk or butter. One hing in favor of turnips as feed for cows, is they can be sown in August, or as late as the rt of September. 1 sowed some as late as september, last year, that were very fine. urnips are also very profitable feed for pigs, when boiled in the same way as for cows. -Cor. Northern Farmer. How TO MAKE.GUAXO.-Save the man ore from your hen.roost: 1 bushel of hen manure; 4 quarts of plaster ; 4 " "'ashes; 2 " " hay salt ; nd mix well together. Now is the time to lo it. This is equal to any guano that ever was transported over the ibig waters. Try a and satisfy yourself, and it will save a great xpense to the farmers. BEE MoT.-Where peach leaves, poun led with salt, are put under a bee-hive, I ar not seen a been-moth. Although my this source, the adoption of this plan has caused the moths to come out missing. Prairie Farmer. THRIFT.. A. and B. live opposite to each other on the same county road, and cultivate farms which were originally about equal~in quan tity, quality and value. A keeps two or three extra horses, feeds a pack of hounds, a few scrubby, sheep, a desperate family of razor.backed hogs, half a dozen hide-bound cows, and a few ragged, filthy, thievish ne groes. He is off three or four days in the week to court, to some political meeting, a credit sale, or a frolic. His fences are half down, his barns and stables threatening .to tumble, and his wagon, carts, plows, and other implements, stand about in puddles by the road side, or are left to rot in the barn yard. His fields are washed and bare, his meadow has degenerated into a swamp, and the best of his timber has been burnt or cut down to enlarge his domain. There is plen ty of manure about the house, but he never finds time to cart it out. There is plenty of lime or marl to be had, but he never feels able to procure it. His cows eat enough to supply him with abundance of milk and but ter, but some how or other they hardly fur nish milk enough to put in the coffee. Poor fellow; no wonder he is always grunting and groaning, complaining of "hard times," and accusing the climate of changing for the worse! On the other side of the road there is a different state of things. B. keeps a few stout horses or mules, well-fed and healthy. His cattle, sheep; and hogs are of improved stocks, and there is not a hungry bound on the place. The negroes are clothed, fed, and housed well, and are cheerful industri ous, and contented. B. stays at home hab itually, gets up early, superintends his affairs, keeps his buildings and fences in repair, im proves his cleared land,; and saves his tim ber, attends to the feeding and milking of his cows, devotes some of his spare time to ditching his fields, trimming his orchards, laying off and preparing'his garden, and, in fine turns every hour and every rerource to some account for the improvement of his premises, and the increase of his income%' He is generally before hand, and seldom has cause to complain of " hard times." He is able to educate his children, to pay the preacher, and to give a dollar now and then to some useful and benevolent enterprise. Reader, is not this contrast a fair one I Do not A. and B. represent two well-known classes in the farming community I Go then, and avoid the errors of the one, whilst you endeavor to learn wisdom and the se cret of success from the other.-Carolina Cultivator. -, BEDDING HoRsEs.--See that your horses are supplied with clean, fresh bedding every night. After laboring hard, all day, on the road, or in the fields, this will be extremely grateful to their weary limbs. Give them a hard floor to stand on.-Germantown Tele graph. INDIAN SLAPPERS.-Take one quart of Indian meal, two quarts of milk, and four eggs; beat the eggs; mix them with 'the milk ; stir in the meal; and bake on a grid dle, like buckwheat cakes. RICE GRIDDLE CAKEs.-Soak over night one quart of cold boiled rice, in a little milk or water, the next morning, add one quart of milk, and stir in nearly as much flour, and two eggs wvell beaten. Crumbs, or crushed bread, mixed with the rice, improve this cake. HoP YEAS.--Boil a double-handful of hops ini a gallon of pure water, for fifteen or twenty minutes; strain off the liquor while scalding hot, then stir in flour till a thick bat ter is formed; let it stand till it becomes about milk-warm; add a pint of good, lively, fresh yeast, and stir it well; then let it stand in a place where it will keep warm till it be comes perfectly light. This yeast will keep from one to two weeks, if kept covered tiht, in a cool cellar. SANDY SorLs.-Improve, permanently, your sandy soils by hauling on and spread ing as much clay as will change their con stitutional texture, and give them that cohe sibility, the want of which is the radical cause of their unproductiveness. This labor may be performed at intervals of leisure, and with almost equal facility at all seasons of the year. Sore mouth in sheep may be cured by smearing the diseased lip with tar.

Dr.Aa SIRa:-I send you this to certify to you that your Extract or Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilia has performed one ot the moat wonderful eures on me that has ever been effected on man. I have been afficted ror for ty years with eruptions on my legs and feet; in 1848 they got so bad that I had to go on crutches, and in 1849 1 had one leg amputated above the knee. In about inne monthsafter my other leg broke out in large eating and running sores from my knee to my foot, and discharged a great deal of offen sive matter. My groin also broke out in large bies, which discharged much offenstve matter, and at the same time my left hand broke out in large running sores nearly to my elbow. The misery that I [have suffered for the lest two years Iecannot decieto you. I was in such agony tat Inever rested day ornight. In October last my son brought me one of your bottle wrappers; 1 read it, aud found record of some wonderful ures performed by your " Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla." I sent and got two bottles of it, and com menced taking it. In two weeks, to my great astonishment, my sores all became easy, and I could sleep all night, a thing I had not done .for two years. Wherr I had taken six bottles, my sores gt well as If by exchsntmecnt. I have now used in all eilht bottles of your "Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarap ara" and I consider myself well. I entreat aii of the afficted to try this medicine, for I be leve it will cure any known disease in the world. Lay aside alt prejudice and lust try it, and proclaim its great worth to sufilering mankind and entreat them to take i, for it winl curs them.

T HIS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sarsa parilla which grows in the Southern States and nothing else.. It has the natural Sarsaparilla taste, Its effect upon the system in all cases in which Sar saparilla is indicated is wonderful. It is a grea safeguard against diseases arising from a torpid state of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood. Generally, it acts upon the Bowels as a mild pur gative or laxative. It not only mildly moves the Bowels, but gives tone to the system by restoring a healthy action in the Liver, and by freeing the blood from its Impurities. For children it is a great preventive of worms and supercedes the necessity of giving thei au much worm medicine; at the same time It improves their general health. A better and more useful medicine cannot be in troduced into Edgefield District, either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarspar 11a.
