" 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.
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.

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. My ease is well known to a large portion
of South Carolitna, Goga and Alabama. and if an) should
doubt the above cure, Iinvite them to call on me and I
will show them the scars. I can be found in Tallpoosa

DR. DENNIS'
GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA!
A PURE & UNADULTERATED ARTICLE,
FOR DISEASES OF THE LIVER,
AM3 21 W lI 1I U993.
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.
This Saaparilla is not to be eoLd on commis
aion.
Priee, per bottle, $1-Six bottles $5. For sale by
Druggists generally.
