EDISTO HEAD, July 28, '55. Messrs. Colter 4' Scooter:-As I am en gaged in a lucrative; as well as an interest. ing business, of raising poultry, I will give you a small part of my experience. I have been at considerable pains to se lect the choicest varieties of Game, and all the large China varieties as Shanghai, Brah ma. Cochin China, &c., and must say that I have raised lots of all sorts, fat and fine, but my negroes-blast, their pictures-not withstanding they have plenty of bread and meat, milk, vegetables and clothes, can't stand the temptation that you Village hawks throw in their way-you get all can -raise, *and when I want to eat a chicken, I have to wvhistle for it. If you dent know the law relating to tra ding and trafficking with slaves without a permit (when wve say you, we include not only the editors and priiiters, but the liquor dealers, hotel keepers, merchants and private house keepers,) it is no good reason why you should not take up your board in the Public [House on the South WVest side of the Court [louse, kept by one Mr. Goodman.

[Fromi the Winnsboro Register.] THlE GARDEN AND TU1RNIP PATCH. Mr. Editor,--Every body certainly likes to see, if all do not like to eat, luxuriant vegtables. The season for the earlier varie ties is past, the' later sorts such as okra, to mattes, mutton corn, et cet, are just coming in, and wvith their appearance has arrived the time (from the. 10th of Jnly to the 10th of August) for sowing that wholesome, nu tricious, and delicate vegetable-the turnip. -Many persons, who do not plant this vege table in their gardens, and others, who cowv pen for a few weeks some poor, sterile red knob, from which they unreasonably expect to harvest- a large crop of turnips, and arte disappointed if they do not, imagine the tur nip a coarser species of vegetable because in their minds- " turnip greens and old ned" are two dishes inseparable. Bunt treat one of these grumblers to a well boiled, large luscious turnip, and he could scarcely divine 'what he was eating. .Then how can these fine turn ips be producedi They can be grown ,with little troubled, no expense but the cost. ,of the seed, and on any ground properly pre .pared ; as follows: ILay off with a plow (or in small gardens se the spade) dlrills fourteen inches apart, running two furrdws one in the other with a common straight shovel plow, and then in that a-gain a third'furrow'with a narrow sharp bull tongde plow. '(In the garden 'dig with the spade treuches fourteen inches apart twice the alepth of ihe spade.) In this trench .or furrow drill with 'a liberal hand as much manure as can~ be spared from the stable, cowhouse, pig-pen, or ash.hopper; then with. a twister or turn plow.*run two furrows be-' tween these drills covering,.the mnanure.. (In the garden cover it with the hoe.) You will then have .ridges fourteeftr inches apart; on these ridges open with the cornier of -the be small drills, and witth the fingers drill in the seed as thinly as possibleat the rate of two pounds per acre; an ounce. or two should dill a garden twenty 'feetaspuare. After the seed are sown cover with a rake, and pit the top of the ridge smoothly with the back of a hoe or shovel.:.' When the turnips are tip and show them selves plainly, sprinkle seach row with fresh ashes or plaster.' When the leaves are about two 'inches long, thin thern out to bdut three or four inchbs ; tvben thb -turnips get about the size of eggs thin then .again to. ahodt eiht .inches apart ; hoo them well -at this thining to loosen the surfaco of the ground. and then' wait for thorn to grow. One gar 'din bed prepsred and cultivated in this wvay will yield a.-greate~r quantity of ve~getable matter, thin if planted in any othier vegetable. Of the seeds to platnt, we wonkd suggest the following kincfs. particularly the last, the early Dutch, white globe, purple top, flat Norfolk, and Swedish or Rtabga.* We do not approve of .importing manures or using guano. . And if any persons who has a horse, cow,.pig, .ash-hopper, or garden, thinks- .the above method too troublesome, they do not deserve fine turnips, and any one who will try it we guarrantee will not repent the experiment. Don't sow broadcast if you should plant as much as ten ecres. Yours respectfully, DoxEsTIc. * Buy your seed from a professional seedsman, do not attempt to raise them. The costis very light and the difference in quality is very material. IH0W TO KEEP HARNESS IN ORDEL In answer to an inquiry for information as to the best mode. of cleaning and oiling harness, 4'c., we re-publish the substance of an article given in the Rural New Yorker : Observing the good condition and fine ap pearance. of the harness of Ald. Baker, pro. prietor of the most extensive livery establish. ment in Rochester, we requested him to impart to us, for publication, the modus ope randi by which so desirable an ,object was achieved. In coipliance therewith,'he stated the-course. adopted as the .best and most economical, after twenty years' experience in a business which required considerable at tention to tackling apparatus. His process of oiling and washing harness is substantial ly as follows: Take neats foot oil and ivory or patent black-the latter well pulverised, or to be made so before using. Mix thoroughly, ad. ding the black untill the oil is well colored or quito black. In cool weather the oil should be warmed somewhat before mixing. With a sponge apply a light coat of the mix. ture-only what the leather will readily ab sorb, unless the harness is very dry, in which case a heavier coating may be necessary. After the harness is dry-which will be in from two hours to half or a whole day, de. pending upon the weather and previous con dition of the leather-wash thoroughly with soapsuds. In making the suds use good Cas tile soap and cold rain-water. Warm water should never be used on harness leather. Apply the suds with a sponge. Rub off with buckskin. This will give your harness a nice, glassy surface, and the leather will re tain a good color and continue pliable for months.. If it becomes solid with mud or sweat, an application of soap and water as above directed (without oiling) will be suffi cient to give it a bright appearance. Two applications of this oil and black mixture a year (or once every six months) will be sufficient to heep harness, as ordina rily used, in'good order. - It may be necessa ry for livery men, a:nd others who use har. ness constantly, to apply the oil oftener-but in most cases, two oilings a year and wash. ing with suds when soiled, will keep a har ness in good trim for sight and service. This process will pay a large dividend in extra service and durability-to say nothing of improved appearance. Ald. B. assures us that the same, or a very similar, application is just the thing' for car riage tops which are mado of top leather. The only difference in treatment is, that less oil should be used, or rather a lighter coating applied-and it should be washed off before drying in, top-leather being thin and much more penetrable than harness. Of course this mixture would not, answer for enamelled leather, of which some carriage tops are constructed. - PEAS AND SwEE'r PoTATOBS FOR FA-Tax IG Hoos.-Mr. Nathan Winslow, of Per quimons county, fattens hogs for slaughter and sale, as well as for his own comsump tion almost entirely on peas and swveet potatoe~s From the 1st to the 15th of Sep. tenber, the hogs are turned on a pea field. At the, same time, a small portion of the seet. potato ground is fenced, off. The woodland is close at hand, and the bogs are turned therein every day. This in done be cause be deems it better for the health of the hogs. Every night, alternately, the hogs are terned into the pea- fields and the pota toes-new portions of tho latter being brought in as the first enclosed are exhausted. Thus kept on peas and potatoes alone (for he supposed they get very little from the woods) the hogs become very fat. For change of food, and late in the fattening, swill is added to the food, made of turnips, boiled with a little corn meal, and seasoned with salt.-Mr. Winslow'is confident' that the corn consumed during the whole time of fattening does not exceed the average of a peck for each hog; therefore, the fattening is due, in a very slight degree, to corn,, and almost entirely to the peas and potatoes. Peas alone will fatten very considerably, but not enough to make good pook. But with potatoes, the hogs are not only made very fat, but their fat is even more firm and white than of hogs fattened on corn. After cold weather requires that potatoes should be dug, they are boiled before being fed to the. hogs. Mr. Winslow is a very large and successful raiser of hogs, and seller of pork. I learn from others that his pork, fattened as above stated, is deemed the best in the markets. [Southern Planter. - WuKERB MosQUITOBs COMa' Fnos.-A wvriter on enton-ology, discnssing about these summer pests thus handles the subject; "'ITbe mosquito proceeds from the animal cua, conimonly termed the " wiggle-tail." I took a bowl of clean wvater and set it in' the sun. ' In a few. days some half dozen wiggle-tails wereyvisible. These continued to inrease in size until they were about 3-16ths of an inch in length. As they approached teir maturity they remained longer at the surface, seeming to live in the two mediums -air and water;-finally, they assumed a chrysalis fornri, and, by an increased specific gravity, sank to the bottopn of the bowl. Here, in a fewshours, I perceived short black furze, or hair, growing on every side' of 'each, until it assumed the size of'a minute cater pillar.- And thus its specific 'gravity being counteracted, or lightened, it rapidly floated to the surface, and the slightest breath of air wafted it against the side of 'the bowl. .In a very brief space of time -afterwards, the warm atmosphere hatched out the fly, and it escaped, leaving its tiny house upon the wa ter. How beautiful, yet how simple! . A fter the, water had gone through this 'process, I found it perfectly free from ani mnalcla.' - therefore came to the conclusion that this wiggle-tail is a species of the shark, who l~aving devoured whole tribes of ani miclw ietakes to himself wings and escapes into a dilferent medium to- torture mankind; iind deposit eggs upon the water to produce other wiggle-tails, ~who' in, turn produces other .mosqpitoeq. Any man. ho has "kept -house.;" with a cistern in the yaifd,shas doubtless observed the same effedt every "summer. Open your cistern cover'any morinrgt In the mosquito season, and ."'milli~unaof them will fly up in your face. Clid.~hewindows of your room at night at the risk of beings smothered for iant of air, being careful at the same time prvuslj to excludeevery mosquito, and go t, bed with a piteher of that same, cistern water in the room, and enough will breed .r.m it during the night to gie you any sat e sfactory amount of trouble. In fact, tand ng by a shallow- half-stagnant pool, in a mid-summer's day, you may see the wiggle tails become perfectly developed mosquitoes, and they will rise from the surface of the water, and fly.into your face and sting you. What it is necessary to know at this day is -has there yet been discovered -any positive exterminator of that infernal pest and distur ber of night's slumbers the-mosquito 1 VALUABLE IRECIPES. MossEs, lichens, and insects, which are prejudicial to fruit trees, may be destroyed by a simple solution of quick-lime, any time between the fall and opening of the leaf, ap plied with a watering-pot, or gardener's syringe. It does its office, and withal pro. motes the growth of the tree. DREssING WoUND.-Nine times out of ten, a wound will heal quicker if done up in its own blood, than any other way. As for a burn, whatever will exclude the air the quickest, is best. Cotton will. do this: so will oiled silk, if stuck down at the edge by any kind of sticking-salve. Put. nothing on a burn to heal it. Nature, will soon do that when the air is excluded, and the pain will almost immediately cease. SEOTS made by black writing.ink, on the pages of a book, may be removed by wash ing them with a solution of oxalic-acid in water. The spots must be afterwards washed with clear water. To lAKE GooD CoRN-BREAD.-Take 7 pints corn-meal, 3 pints. wheat -flour, and mix them well together ; then 6 eggs, well broken, ~2 cups melted butter, and a little salt and sugar to suit the taste. Put this mass together, and mix with milk to make a batter about the consistency .or stiffness of paste prepared for drop-cake. Then dissolve three teaspoons-full of cream of tartar,. and the same of soda-; pour it upon, the mass, stir it in thoroughly, and dip it-at once into pans, and bake in a hot oven. ANOTHER GOOD RECIPE FOR - MAKING CORN BREAD.-Take 1 quart of milk, 3 eggs, beaten, butter half the size of an egg; cream tartar, 1 teaspoonfull-salt and sweet. en to your taste. To this add corn-meal to make a paste about the consistency'of grid dle-cakes ; put in pan immediately, and bake in a hot oven. Black Ink Improved.-To a pint of com mon black ink add one drachm of impure carbonate of potassa, .1ind in a few minutes it will be a jet black. Be careful that the ink does not ruti over, during the eflerve scence caused by the potassa. Jumbles.-Take flour,. 1J pound ; sugar, 1 pound ; butter, I pound ; four yolks and two whites of eggs; rose-water, one wine. glassful. Roll thin with fine powdered su gar, and bake on tins. Fly in Sheep.-Make a strong decoction from the leaves of tobacco, or from chewing tobacco, and apply wvith a small squirt, or syringe, repeated several times during the fall months. Grubs in Horses.-Take 1 pint strong vinegar, 2 ounce chalk in powder, stir it well and drench the animal. Gapes in Chickens.-May be easily eured by giving them small crums of dough im pregnated with a little soft soap; once 01 twice is sufficient. To write on Silver swt a Black which will never go of.-Take burnt lead and pul verize it. Incorporate it next with sulphui and vinegar, to the consistency of a paint lg colour, and write with it on any silvei plate. Let it dry, then present it to the fire so as to heat the work a little, and it is fin. ished. Ginger beer.-One pint of molassess and twvo spoonsful of ginger put into a pail to be half filled with boiling water ; wvhen well stirred together, fill the pail with cold water, leaving room for one pint of yeast, whieli must not be put in antil lukewarm. Place ii on a warm hearth for tho night, and bottle ii it in the morning. Simple Receipt for Preserving Eggs. Pack themi during the summer and fall for winter. Tfake a stone crock or firkin, and put in a layer of salt, half an inch deer -insert your eggs on the small end, and cover each layer of eggs wvith a layer 0l salt. If the eggs are fresh when packed, and put into, a cool, dry place, they wvill ieep perfectly good until the following summer. Whooping Cough.-A tea-spoonful ol the -mixture to be given whenever the cough is troublesome.. It will afford relief at once, and in a few days it effects a cure. -The same remedy relieves the croup, howvever violent the attack. To preserve Animal Food without Suiting -Take meat, and cut it - into slices of from four to eight ounces each, then immerse them for five minutes in a vessel of boiling waer, and dry then on -network, at a regu. lar temperature of from 12O* to I25* Fahr, Next evaporate the soup formed by washing the meat, to the consistence of .a thick var nish, adding a little spice to flavour it ; into this fluid immerse perfectly dry pieces of flesh, and again expose them to the proper drying temperature. Repeat. the operation of dipping and dryinig a second, and even a For use, the meat must be cooked in the usual way by boiling, &c. In this manner, meat may be . preserved without salt, for fifteen to twenty monthbs.. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EDGEFVIELD DISTRICT,. ~ I COMMON PLE A8. A B3SALOM T.

T HIS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sarsa parilla which grows in the SouthernStates 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 great safeguard against diseases arising from a torpidstate of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood. Generally, it acts upon the Bowels as a mild par gative or laxative. it not only mildly moves the Bowels, but gives-tono to the system by restoring it healthy action in the Liver, and by freeing the.blcod from its impurities. For children it is a great preventive of worms and. supereedes the- necessity of giving them so. much worm medicine; at the same time it improves their general health. A better and more useful medicine eannot be in troduced into Edgefield District', either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsappr Ila. Tis Sarsaparilla is not to be .old on commia sin. Price, per bottle, $1-Six bottles.$5.
