" 4fancrs' ~eartnent. 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. - "CAIBRIDGE." WE take great pleasure in numbering our friend "CAMBRIDGE" with our agricultural 'contributors.. We hope that he will enrol his name upon our book and continue to enliven our columns with his ready humor and gifted pen. We refer our readers to his article, and hope. that many more will follow his example and write for our department. The Farmer's life is a merry one, and we like to have the bright aide of the picture sometimes turned; and while we are toiling hard and bending beneath the burdens and - cares of the farm, it is refreshing to the weary farmer to have a humorous veil thrown over his management of the various branches of industrial pursuit. There are many amusing scenes on the farm, which, if given to the public, as " dottings by the way," would'serve to enliven the cheerful fireside, and render our agricultural "department" doubly interesting. "GET OUT'N THE GRASS." OUR readers will remember that we prom ised them that as soon as we ourselves got out of the grass we would inform them of the fact, and tell them how they might get out also. We are glad that we are at last out of the clutches of " Gen. Greene," but we are sorry we made the promise, as we hardly know how we did get out. But to all who are still delving at the unconquera ble foe, and are anxious to learn how to subdue him, we give the benefit of our ex perience. We worked out ! Those of them who cannot' work out had better wish and wait for frost. FOR THE ADVERTISER. - FERUoroUs SCOOTER :-Wby ! oh, why! does the visitor to your plantation, vainly cast his eyes on all sides to discover " Cow peas," " Tory," or " Everbearing" varieties I Alas ! for the unitiated, they either are not planted, or turned down before the rains to seek, moisture,. and escape the embraces of conrolieulus! But war are they not plant ed i Do they really injure land I If so, do enlighten us as to the modus. If in the Piney woods Peas and Lightwood are the staple commodities, surely, in time and with proper care they might be naturalised, and even flourish in the Oakey-woods. Still arises the query, war do you not plant them 1 Cows are none the worse for them in the winter, bacon no less firm or dearer when made on them, and where " one ear of corn and three shucks is a feed for a horse," (!) methinks they might be employed advan tag'eously. Quien-sabc! Do not get very indignant at being asked a question of this nature. It is never be. neath the notice of greater to instruct lesser men, and facts are what are earnestly do. sired by CAMBRIDGE. RExAR~s:-As our facetious dictionarian correspondent wishes to be enlightened with regard to this most singular phenomenon, (our having no peas planted,) we can 'only sny, that we would have planted largely could we only have procured the seed. Samp son w~as a mighty man, but even a Sampson could not have made a pea-crop without the seed. We now reply to his various queries upon this important subject, and we earnest ly hope that our reply will furnish him with that information which he so much needs. " Turned under to escape the embraces of conaolvulus !" What in the world does that mean I Scratch-Scratch. We have seen may-pops, morning-glories, brambles, sarsa parilla, tread-saft and nigger-wool, but we give it up,-we have never met with that critter in a pea patch or corn-field yet. It may lie a varmint that gives peas the bear hug, but without further conjecture, we give in. " Do they really injure land I" No. But they unquestionably injure corn. Ourgrow ing crop is a living witness to this fact, and no practical farmer or scientific professional character can deny it. Although pea-vines afford shade and vegetable deposit which add much to the productiveness of the'- soil, they injure corn to the amount of' nutrdment they consume. Peas should never be planted in corn until the last plowing, they should then be sown broad cast. Peas are a valua ble crop in the Piney Woods as they are more certain to mature and yield on sandy than on clay soils, consequently it is the best policy to plant peas to themselves for seed, >n stiff cray lands. So much for" "the modus." We heartily concur with " CAXBRIDGE" as to the value of peas - for cows, but when it -comes to 'bacon, wve might be allowed to argue that it is safer to make bacon by rais ing a'greater quantity of corn than to have all our stock hogs killed by turning them into a pea-field. The cow-pea for hogs is a dangerous medicine, but we cannot expect " CAxBnuoo" to feel much alarmed at the fatal effects~ of medicine. A jnan can get used to any thing. We are really disappointed and grieved to learn that " CaamtIDGE" is such a bad horse-master; however, " one ear of corn and three shucks" may answer as a feed for .a horse that has to carry comparatively nothing but a light pair of saddle-bags, but horses that have to pull "Ferruginous Scoo ter-" must be fed on something more sub stantial than cow peal. We assure our witty friend that no indig a.t emotions he been glicited bJ Jaia~u morons queries, and we hope our reply will be received in the same vein of good humor. SCOOTER. AGRICULTUR CONTENTION. We are requested to announce to the readers of the Timb that there will be a meeting of citizens of Richland District in the City Hall, on the first Monday in Au gust next, the 6th, for the purpose of appoint. is; delegates to represent the District in the Agricultural Convention, which is appointed to meet in this city on the second Wednes. day in that month. In view of the great interest of agriculture, which will be greatly promoted by the formation of a State agri. cultural Society, we trust that there will be a general attendance of the citizens of Richland. The indications are that there will be a large number of delegates in the Convention from various sections of the State. Meetings have been held in several Districts, and the most intelligent farmers and planters have been commissioned to be present in the Convention and to contribute the influence of their experience and obser-. vation to its deliberations. Richland should send up her quota of wisdom and talent to aid in the work proposed to be accomplished by the Convention. She owes it to herself and to the State to do all in her power in furtherance of the cause of agriculture, and in the advancement and improvement of this all-important source of the wealth, hap piness, and.the moral and intellectual well being of the people of the commonwealth. And .whatever good Richland may do the cause in other portions of the State, that good will reflex in its influence and effects; she too will be benefitted. A social com mingling of her people with intelligent and devoted planters of other Districts, will sug gest to them new ideas and plans in the art of agriculture ani bring to their knowledge new modes and implements of cultivation. Let there then be a general attendance of the farmers and planters of the Districts on the first Monday in August. The citizens of Columbia should feel an especial interest in this matter, and should by all means secure a large representation in the coming Convention. Not only should they manifest interest in the scheme of form ing a State Agricultural Society, by being represented in the convention, but they should hold themselves in readiness to sub scribe money promptly and liberally in aid of the work; The annual meetings of. the State Society will be held in this city, and if the exhibitions of stock, agricultural produc tions, and the delivery of agricultural ad dresses, essays, &c., shall prove half as in teresting and attractive as they have proven in Georgia and elewhere, thousands of visi tors will be congregated here. These will, of course, expend a large amount of money in our midst, in the purchase of groceries, agricultural implements, dry goods, &c., &c. Our merchants will, therefore, be largely benefitted by the annual influx of visitors. Our hotel proprietors will share bountifully in the profits to be derived from an ingather ing of persons from the various sections of this and the adjacent States. The real-es. tate holder will bo inoirectly benefitted in the enhancement of his property and his rents. The mechanics and artizans of the city will also come in for a share of the annual har vest. In short, every class of our citizens will be, more or less, benefitted by having the annual exhibitions of the State Agricul tural Society take place here. TIhey should, therefore, hold themselves in readiness to contribute liberally in furtherance of the scheme, whenever called on. Other towns and cities have appropriated thousands of dollars for the purpose of securing to them selves the advantages of such exhibitions. And if the people of Columbia expect to keep pace with the progress of the age they, too, must be liberal of their means in aid of such schemes as are calculated to enhance her prosperity. We feel confident that they will do this ; that they will do all that may be reasonably asked of them in aid of the proposed State Agricultural Society. At any rate, they will furnish the Society with suitable grounds and enclosures, and all ne cessary buildings. T1o do this properly, and in a style comportinig with the character of the city and of the contemplated Society, will require no inconsiderable sum. What ever sum may be necessary, we are sure our merchants, hotel proprietors, real-estate pro. prietors, mechanics, artizans and professional men will freely furnish. This is their duty, and they will not fail of performing it. Let then, the citizens of Columbia make some little sacrifice of time and attend the meeting on the 6th of August.-Columbia Times. HORSES TEOUBLED WITH FLIEs.-At this season of the year the following recipe to prevent horses from being teased with flies may be humanely instructive to owners and drivers of horses. " Take two or three small handfuls of walnut leaves, upon which pour two or three quarts of cold soft water ; let it infuse one night, and pour the whole next morning into a kettle, and let it boil for a quarter of an hour. When cold, it will be ready -for use. Nothing more is required than to moisten a sponge with the liquor, and before the borse goes out of the stable, let those parts which are most irritable be smeared over wvith the liquor, viz: between and upon the ears, the flank, &c. Not only the lady or gentleman wvho rides out for pleasure will be benefitted from the walnut leaves thus prepared, but the coachman, wagoner, and all those wvho use horses during the hot months." SOAP, WHITE LEAD AND OI.-Mr. Edi tor-It is not so generally known as it should be, that a mixtnre of the above named in gredients makes an excellent coating for gates, fences and out-buildings. The addi tion of the soap (soft soap only is to be used) considerably diminishes the expense of the paint, without, in any degree, lessening its durability, or the-facility of laying it on. I have a house, the north-west side of which was painted with this mixture nineteen years ago, and the paiint is now much more brilliant than that put upon the other sides at the same time, though the latter was of the best quality of white lead and oil, and four heavy coats applied, while the soap paint I applied but two. Fences painted painted with this mixture, as well as the roofs of buildings, for which purpose any coloring matter, or pigment may be substituted for the lead, endure much longer, it is ascer tained, than those painted with pure oil paint. The alkalescent qualities of the compound render them impervious to the atmospheric influences which are the chief causes of de cay and rot. The quantity of soap to be used can be best asertained by experience ; on this point no definite rules can be pre scried.-NewEngland Farme~r. * REMEDY FOR THE BLACK K.JoT.-In con ve-sing with a friend a few days since he informed me that he had succeeded in remo ving the black excressence that have proved so injurious to plum trees, as follows: Satu rate the knot with. spirits of turpentine, and in tims3it will dry up and heal over. He akika k.Aiaa is caused bi an insect, which the spirits of turpentine destroys, and thereby remedies the-evil. He had recom mended it to his neighbors, and in all cases it had proved alike -beneficial. In looking over some of the back numbers of the Cul tivator, I find the general remedy recom mended is excision and knowing that this sometimes proves injurious to the tree, I thought I would send you this remedy, so simple and yet so beneficial, for publication, not doubting but that I should get some ideas in return from your correspondents. I see the cherry is affected in some sec tions of the country, with the black knot, and I presume the above remedy will prove alike beneficial to them.-Country -Gentle man. HORSES AND MULES FOR THE SOUTH. The neglect of grain crops by the cotton planters of the South has been often and justly animadverted upon. The maxim " produce, if possible, all of your home sup plies at home"-cannot be too often or too deeply impressed upon the agricultural com munityof the Mississippi Valley South. But there is one corollary from this max im, which so far, we believe, has' been but little agitated or discussed. With every nat ural facility for growing fine horses and mules all the cotton States (excepting a small por tion of Tennessee) are tributary to Kentucky and the Western States for their supplies of those useful and indispensable auxiliaries of man, whether engaged in agriculture or com merce. ''here is no reason why Tennessee, Car olinas, Mississsippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, should not raise all of their own horses and mules. There is no earthly reason why these States should not also raise all of their own corn, hogs, cows, &c. There is, like wise, no earthly reason why these States should not pay particular attention to the improvement of the breeds of all the differ ent kinds of stock. It is sometimes said that the South is not a good grazing country, and therefore not suitable for growing fine stock. A moment's consideration will show that this is the purest " fudge." The low lands bordering upon every perennial stream in the South-from the lordly Tennessee to the smallest brook "singing its quiet tune"-are capable of be ing made-a little expense-the finest pas tures in the world. Look at the Tennessee river bottom ; how many millions of acres are there, yet awaiting the occupancy of the grazier, to whose pur poses they are better suited than to those of any other class of agriculturists? So of Obion, Forked Deer, Hatchie, Wolf, Talla. hatchie, the upper Tombighee, and all the streams, large and small, of the South, inclu ding the mighty Mississippi, large portions of whose immense bottom are admirably adapted to all the requirements of the stock grower. When will the South be true to herselfI When will the southern men learn their true policyi When will they learn that everything produced at home, corn and horses, peas and hogs, potatoes and mules, shucks and sheep, brogans and beef-is a saving of always double, and often quadruple, of what the same article would cost if they have it to buy ?-Memphis Eagle and Enquirer. GREEN BEANS oR SNAPs.-Oreen beans or snaps, green peas and rostting ears may be had every day in winter at a very trifing amount of troub~le. They are all preserved by being packed away in salt. The salt is removed before cooking by steeping in warm water. We-had on the table a fine dish of snaps on the 25th of December, Christmas day, and have been using them since as often as desired. Mode of precserving Beans.-TIake any tight vessel, jar or barrel, and lay down a layer of beans and then cover lightly with salt and so on untill the vessel is full. Green peas are preserved in the sam~e manner. To preserve Corn.-First shave the Corn from the cob with a sharp knife, and then pack in a close vessel, corn and salt in al ternate-:layers, untill the vessel is- full, soak well in wvarm water before cooking, and it is just as good as it is in summer. Try it all you whlo are fond of good eating. Look at This! Carriages, Carriages, Buggies, Buggies, &c., &c. &c., &c. T HE Subscriber still carries on the Carriage bu siness at the old stand of A.

" I have used Jacob's Cordial in my family, and this, with all I hear about It as a remedy by those who have tried it, induces me to believe that it stands at the head of every preparation of the kind, and I would recommend its use in the disease for whieh it is comnpounded."-MuIas G.

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 efeet uponfthe 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, qr 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 them so much worm medicine; at the same time it improves their general health. A better and more useful medicine cannot be in traduced into Edgetleld Distriet, either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sursapar Hla. Ti Sareaparilla is not to be soLd on commie sien. Price, per bottle, $1-Six bottles $5.
