As will be seen by our last issue our Dis trict has formed an.Agricultural Society in order to co-operate with the State Agricul tural Society to be held at Coumcdbia in An gust next. Although it is desirable thus to harmonize with our bretheren of the clod in a Convention of Societies, we have motives for forming a Society in Edgefield, which, though sa yiing much of selfishness, are of still greater import, in our humble opin. ion, to ius as a District, The success of all the industrial pursuits which engage the at. tertios of our people depends more or less open the success of the farm. In order there -fore that we all may be benefitted by the .experience of 'our brother farmers, and have that counsel and advice which is more cer tain to lead to success, we have formed a Society as a nucleus in which to concentrate all the knowledge, science and practical ex perience in agriculture, to which all are here by invited to come, and to come with a firm determination of doing something worthy of ourselves-worthy of the District-worthy of the State. TO HORACE GREELY. The undersigned hereby invite the above named distinguished (?) gentleman to par take of a Barbecue with our Negroes, (as it is customary to give our servants such treats when the crop is laid* by,) and we would be pleased, for him to bring along some of his dearest and most intimate friends of the free soil stamp, viz: Fred Douglass, Seward, Phillips, Chase, and others of the same brand, :in order to let them see that our slaves are 'not skinned all-ve, but that they are luxuriating ini such mxuton, beef ind pork as does not often greeze' the throat of Horace Greely himself. O !i l !fe ! Since wvriting the above, we are informed by a correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, that Horace is at this time in Paris, and worse than all is in prison for libel. What a pity that the wri tings of this abolition scamp can be constru ed into slander. T he devil sometimes gets his due-. Warr, WVrnr, HURRaH! COIN SUCKERS. SHOI'L the suckers-be pulled from Corn t This question is often asked by farmers, and various are the opinions in re'gard to the practicability of suckering. We all know tilat it frequently happens that suckers never make ears, while at other times we see as good ears made on suckers as on the origi nal stalks. We have paid some attention to this subject, and from observation wve have arrived at the following conelusions. In all matters pertaining to the farm, cir cumstances alter cases; hence, no rule or system can be carried out that will, in all cases, be followed with complete success. Suckering corn will very properly come un der this rule, and consequently must be prac tised ac'cording to circumstances. In order to exercise a discriminating judgment, we must first consider the cause which produces suckers on corn. A super-abundance of nu triment for the stalk, whether from manure too liberally supplied, or from the natural astrength of the soil, will always cause the stalk (in self defence)-to throw out suckers. This seems to be a wise provision of nature, and her laws can never be violated with im punity. Whenever therefore suckers make their appearance on corn which has a deep mellow soil to -furnish it with sufficient food to sustain the stalk and suckers to maturity, each sucker will make as good. an ear as the original stalk. Wherever this is the, case it is a certain index that the land will bear niuch closer planting and .will make 'much more to the acre than that which does not cause the corn to sucker. When suckers are caused by a liberal sup ply of manure, the nourishment thus-afforded will be exhausted before the stalks can ma ture their fruit, the consequence is; that the -magkers are without shoots and only have a few grains 'made in their tassle. These, as is generally the case, should be pulled from the stalk. But nlsuckers will make corn that do not spring from the roots of corn or near enough to the ground to take root themselves. In good bottom land, if corn be-planted the usual distance, every suckel' will make -a good ear, and will be in its proper' place upon the stalk. We have tried this and know it to be a fact, and " facts are stubborn things." According then to circumstances it is. both right and wrong to pull-off the suckers. Right to pull them off n I thin land manured ; wrong to pull them off, in. good strong- bottom land. *.Wo would like to hear from soine one on t issubjct.

Serve with cream or butter sauce. SOW .MIIET. Do you want to know why I Because it yields more - food.for man and beast,' than any other cultivated grain. Cut for hay, the crop is large and of excellent quality, and, it is said, imparts a vigor or an elastici ty to working cattle that is-acquired from no other food. 'Stock, too, are very fond of millet hay. If allowed to ripen,- its seed is an excellent grain for animals, possessing as much nutrimeut as Indian corn but not its -fattening property. In Europe it is often ground for bread, and, where people are accustomed to its use, they are fond of mil let bread. In this latitude, as we learn from good au thority, the time for sowing millet is from the first of May to the middle of June, when it will be ready to harvest in July or Au gust, leaving the ground in.the best possible condition for a crop of winter grain. A rich, light soil is best, and it should be deep and finely prepared as for wheat. If grown for hay, from 30 to 40 quarts of seed should be sown to the acre. - It should be cut while the seed is in the milky state, and as soon as it is well wilted it should be put up and cured in cocks, as recommended for hay. If the weather is fine,.it will be suffi ciently made in three or four- days, when the cocks should be turned and opened a few hours before it is hauled in.., When sown for the grain, from 16 to 20 quarts of seed are required to the acre, and if put in with a good seed drill, the crop of seed would be much improved. No.attempt should ever be made to secure both seed and hay from the same field. Plant one field for seed, and one for hay. A good crop will yield five tons of hay. For seed, the upper parts of the heads must be ripe before it is cut. There is one advantage in growing millet that ought to commend it to all farmers. It flourishes well in all seasons. Farmers who once commence the cultiva tion of millet seldom ever abandon it. Will somebody this year try a crop of millet ?-Exchange. - MULLwr.-We hear some - of our fellow townsmen continually complaining of the cost of keeping cows. As an invaluable summer grass, we can commend to them planting a few rows of millet. We have five rows, about twenty-five yards each in length, planted in March, from. which, for two or three weeks, we have been feeding a cow and calf-giving to each as much as they could -consume. By keeping it well cut down, thus preven ting it from going to seed, we expect it to last until fall; when a small piece planted in rutabagas and Silecian beets, will supply them until the early part of spring ; and if a little rye be sowvn in the fall, to come in when the latter are exhausted, a cow may e fed the whole year round at little or no cost. By adopting this plan wve think a cowv may be kept up and fed, at very little cost, when the great saving of. manure is taken into consideration, be always in better con dition and give better flavored milk.--Winns bore Register. Few crops can be turned to a better ac count on a poor, light, gravelly soil, than buckwheat. It possesses a chemical action on the soil, by -which the coarser articles are disintegrated, or rendered finer-, and the soil is thereby improved. Pure,- inorganic earth-that is, earth mixed with animal or -vegetable matter-is produced by the disin tegration, or pulverizing of rocks. Silex, or sand, is the exide, or rust of silicum; or to make it more familiar, it is pulverised quartz. Clay is produced by the decomposition of feldspar. Now, all the quartz and feldspar in the world, while existing in the form of a rock, will not produce a blade of grass; it is only when decomposed, or pulverized; and the finer the particles, the better the soil. If a soil is coarse, the subject of the farmer should be to pulverise it, which can only be done by some chemical application, or the growing of some crop which ha5 that chemical power. Buckwvheat, by a process yet undiscovered, has that powver and the longer it is cultivated, on a given piece of ground, the finer will be the particles on the soil. It injures land for corn, but leaves it in fice order for potatoes, and is-the best crop to kill out bushes, wild. grass and mel low -green swvard. To fit the land for the next succeeding crop, in rotation, plow in a crop of buckwheat in blossom. As a food for -man, except in small quan tites, we could not recommend it, as cnkes made from it, though light when hot, are heavy as liver whlen cold. A constant use of, it has a tendency, also, to produce cuta neous diseases, but boiled with potatoes, apples or pumpkins is firstrate for hogs. When ground, it is excellent for milch cows. Fed rawv, or left standing in the field, it is great for Shanghaes, (they being allowed to harvest for themselves.) The blossomns afford material for the best honey, and at a season of the year when other flowers are gone. It should never be given in any form to horses, as it bloats them, rather than fattens; and what appears to be fat, put on a horse by buckwheat in a week, will disappear by hard work in a day. SALT, PLASTER AND iSlES FOR COIN. Having recently seen several allusions in the Rural to the use of salt as a manure for corn, I will briefly give a little - of my experience, as I have not raised a crop of corn in eight-or ten years without applying it. When I first commenced the use of it, I experimented for several years by dressing a portion with it and leaving a portion un dressed, till I became satisfied that the profit was fully equal to 25 per cent., and my example has been followed by many of -my neighbors. I use and apply it as follows: TJake a half bushel plaster, 2 bushels leach ed or unleached ashes, mix thoroughly with a shovel upon the barn floor, and aisply to the corn -as soon as mixed, and as soonas the corn is planted, the same day if possible. I direct my hands to press the earth over the corn with the back of the hoe covering its, so that its exact position may be known, and have boys to follow immediately after and scatter a smnall handful of the composi tion over the print of the hoe. I usually apply about three bushels of the mixture to the acre. If by accident-, any of the hills do not get their share, the color of the corn on coming up reveals the fact, being usually rather yellowv, whuile, all that receive~-the dressing is of a very dark. green, and grows. rapidly from the start-being .little if. any retared, by chilly, backward weather, whiich frequently occurs after corn planting,, and -very seldom "rolling" in the most severe droughts. For two years past I haveco menced hoeing on the fourteenth day after nlantin. 1 apple the; same mixture in, the same manner, to potatoes, and with marked bene .it.-Wm. D. Cook, Sodus, N Y., May 1855, in. Rural New Yorker. BATTLE AMONG BEES.-Terrible Slaugh ter of the Invaders.-The Toledo (Ohio) Republican relates the following as having occurred, a few days ago, in that county: A new swarm of bees came out of their paternal hive and, gathered around their young queen, in the warm, sunlit atmos phere. But, instead of going to some heigh boring tree or shrub, and forming a hanging cluster, as has invariably been the rule with all predecessors with whom we have ever been acquainted, they settled on a hive and began a murderous attack upon the peacea ble. inmates. The unsuspecting workers- were taken by surprise, and many of them were killed by the invaders before they became fully arous= ed, when the conflict became quite obstinate. The fact that most of the working bees of the hive were out gathering honey gave the new swarm all the advantage, and, though the battle lasted all day, they finally triumph ed. Thousands of dead bodies were drag ged to the entrance and thrown on the ground each hour. How TO HAVE GOOD CoFFEE.-Due re gard being paid to the quality of coffee, Old Government Java being -the- best to be done, is to pick it over, carefully; after which, it shouhl be wasied and dried. Then roast it-being careful that the kernels are equally browned-to.a deep chesnut color, and not burned, as that-destroys the life of coffee, giving it a bitter and disagreeable taste. Grind it, not too fine; then break an egg into.it, and stir it till the particles ad here, then turn into the pot. boiling water, and let it boil five or ten minutes. After taking it from the stove, turn into it a few spoonfuls of cold water, to settle it. This, with sugar and sweet cream, has no bad taste in it. CoRN Coss.-Permit us to advise you not to sell your corn on the cob, but have it shelled, and keep the, cobs for your cattle. By crushing and steaming the cobs, when mixed with cut straw or hay, they make an admirable mess for dry-cattle, and if a quart of meal be added to each mess given, and made into slop, a mileh cow will thrive well and contribute generously to the pail. American Farmer. INCREASING:THE SIZE. OF FLowERs.-A horticulturist of the suburbs of Versailles, in studying the physiology of the vegetable kingdom, conceived the idea that the small ness of certain plants--the violet, for exam ple-was owing to the atmospheric pressure too great.for the delicate organs. Having fixed this idea in his mind, the florist con ceived the idea of putting his theory into practice. Providing himself9 with a small balloon, rendered sufficiently tight to pre vent the escape of any gas, he launched it into the air, after having attached to it a silken cord twelve hundred metres loog. Instead of a car, the balloon sustained a flowerpot of'- Parmna violets: H is experi ment has been going on about two months with the most wonderful results, in the shape of violets large as Bengal .roses. It is ex peted that the above experiment may be turned to some account. TREAT3XENT oP ToMAToEs.-During the early part of the growth of tomatoes, the surface of the soil should be frequently dis turbed. When they have set their fruit they may be shortened, and it may be deferred until the fruit'is of- half size, when it may be readily observed. that ninety per cent. of the fruit is within eighteen inches of the ground, while ninety per cent. of the yine or bush is beyond that distance. Thie vine, therefore, should be trimmed to within half an inch of the -tomato nearest the end of each biranch. Trhis. will admit sun, and air freely, and although ten per cent. of the tomatoes that might have grown will be ta ken away, still the remaining portion will be greater in weight and measure than if the vine had not been shortened in. Tomatoes are also several days' earlier by this treat mnt.-Scientific American. NUTRIMENT OF Ox1oxs.-Prof. Johansont gives his opinion in favor of onions as a very nutricious vegetable, and for laboring men with strong digestive powers quito healthy. It is not merely as a relish that onions are used so largely by manly people, but because they give strength as well as s'tisfacti on of appetite. Professor Johnson ranks onions in point of nutriment with peas. A Pr..IN CUsTARD PIE.-Mix a table spoonful of flour, smoothly with a couple of table spoonsful of milk, and stir it into one quart of boiling milk, let it boil a minute, stiring it constantly ; take it from the fire, and when cool, put in three eggs, well bea ten; sweeten, it to your taste, add a- little nutmeg, and hake it in deep-pie-plates, with only an under crust; bake the pies directly, in a brick oven.

TIlS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sara parilla which grows in the Southern States and nothing else. It has the natural Sasaparilla taste. Its effect upon the system in all cases in which Sar saparilla is indicated is -wonderful. It is a great safeguard against diseases arising from a torpid state of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood. Generally, it acts upon the Bowels npa.mild pur gative or laxative. It not only mildly moves the Bgwels, 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 them so much worm medicine; at the same time it improves their general health. A better and more useful medicine cannot be in toduced into Edgefieid District, either for profeus sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsaparlla.
