9" IIESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. "b Let idle Ambition her baubles pursue,. While Wisdom looks down with disdain, The home of the farmer ha. charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." fJer " FARMER'S" article, fogether with several otheyr communications, will be at tended to in our next. (:7 WE have not h'eard from our friend - and co-laborer "ScooTERn" since he left, some three weeks since. We dislike to sur mise, but we fear some terrible calamity has befallen him. Perhaps his funds, like all Editor's sometimes do, has " gin out," and he can't get home. At any rate we hope nothing worse has otccurred to him. '/11 G8 Trs noble animal should nOwV and ever receive close attention. Avoid all bad breeds especially the sheep killing-suffer him not to reed on mutton for rear of his feeding too largely. As soon as the appetite for this diet manifests itself, administer, a dose of blue pills, from a well loaded musket, and they ill certainly kill dor cure the complaint. Petetion the legislature for a law to improved the breeds of dogs and especially of sheep iling, dogs. TURNIPS.. Turs crop should now receive the close attention of the farmer. Let him raise a bountiful supply of rutabagers and globe as well as other choice varieties, to keep his sheep in good order through the winter. Turnips may be gathered and the roots pared off, avoiding all baing any rotten part, and banked as sweet potatoes, and they will keep as well. ThERIC PICKES. Our "gude-wives" are busy making pick les, preserves and the like about now. Not knowing whether they all have at command the recipe for making the Tumeric pickles, oe append it. There is no better fixin of the kind this side of Jordan. Try it those of you that have i aot yet done so. Plenty of time. 'There are lots of young cncum bers, gherkins, snaps, pepper-ods, cabbages, green-corn, tender melons, onions, &c., still to be had, atd all these things agree together finely in a big pickle jar. Here's the receipe: You first take a jar and Lut into it one gallon of vinegar (very strong), one pint of sugar, one pound of white-mustard seed, one pound of black-mustard seed, one ounce of Tuameric, four nutmegs (grated,) one handfull of black pepper (ground,) one ounce of cloves, ono ounce of slieed ginger, 2 boxes of mustard (to be smoothly mixed with a smalliquantity of vinegar before being pour ed into the jar with the other things,) garlic and horse-radish to your taste, and a few onions cut in quarters. Mind now-all these ingredients are to be put in your pickle jar, and, together, they form the juice and seasoning of your future pickles. This mix. ture should be stirred at least once every day. You can put in your vegetables as youget them ready from time to time. To prepare your vegetables-gather them and put them in brine immediately. There let thenm stay some 24 hours. Then take them out of the brine and wipe them perfect. ly -dry with a clean towel. Spread them on dishes and put them in the sun. Trey should be exposed thus until they are bleached. When they have become. so, drop them in your pickle-liquid as made above. Continue to stir gently the increasing contents of your jar until they become too thick to admit of it. Your pickles wvill be fully fit for use by the Winter. They will get better as they, get older. Next year, the same liquid will suffice for another pickling. SAVE THAT WHIICHI IS MADE. THEn above .maxim is a good one-one that contains a lesson which all farmers should learn and put into practice. The wheat and other small grains that are annual ly losat . 9r seriously injured by the neglect of a duty-on the fart of farmers, so obvious ly taught in the above golden-ruic, would astonish us, could 'we only he permitted to imagine one half of the quantity lost. It. is strangethat farmers .wilL become so infatuat ed, in their warfare with ". Gen. Green," that they. will risk the entire loss of their small grain in order to clean a few acres of cotton which will not, in the end; yield them three hundred pounds per acre. How many have lzad their wheat crops injured during the pre sent harvest; that are nowv wishing that they had sasved that 'yhich .was made. And how many have solemnly vowed 'that, for the tiine torweoumpghey will'. never be guilty of iuch folly again. ~ And yet, such is our proneness to forget, even the' 'teachings of experience, that we venture to predict, that. many more will be caught in the same trap next year. A wheat crop is worth more. then thme time it takes to save'it, is worth to thi potton crop. 'It is alwyays the' best poli cy, tosave that which, is pjade.' - RYD.G P. 0. August 2nd 1855. M .sMns.5mons: Asygu haye. expressed a (visfm t1ist farmers would write in your " De partment,."I write for information, rather than with anyr hope of enlightening the farmers ofitcdgefleld. .1 hav'e long since.been readil||g and anbsbribing' for the " Cultivator," and have'learned much from its instructive col umns; ankil bai been muchr interested in the "-AguiculturalUDepartment"' of the ""Ad rise-."2 would then, express' thie pleas. t're and edideation which I have derived fro- your "Depament," but fearing that you will not relish my.flattering praise, I beg you will take the will for the deed. My object in writing now is, to make an inquiry. I have seen in various agricultural papers, many experiments reported upon the subject of Topping Cotton, and although a majority of. these experiments- resulted in favor of topping, yet I am at loss to know at what stage of the crop, or at what particular time cotton should be topped in order secure the greatest advantage. I have heard many planters discussing this interesting subject, but so various are their practice and theories that the question is still, to my mind, un satisfactorily settled. Some contend that from the 20th of July to the 10th of August is the proper time to top, while others con tend that as soon as ever the weed is knee. high, without regard to the day or month, is the time. And others again .will tell you that unless the weed is in a rapidly growing condition, topping will do more harm than good. If you can throw any light upon this mooted question it will be thankfully received by A PLANTER. Remark-:-" A PLANTER" has our thanks for his flattering insinuations &c., and had we any experience relative to the question of" topping cotton" we would gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of giving him, and others, a full benefit. But unfortunate. ly we are in the same quandary with regard to this important subject. We-venture, how ever, to make the following suggestion. As topping Cotton is generally practised in or der to secure a greater yield, and conse quently for the benefit of the planter. We suggest that (in our opinion) the best time to top cotton is, in planting time. Will not some one, who has experience, answer the query of " A PLANTER" for us ? We hope so. FOR THE ADVERTISER. MESSRS. ErToRs.-While enquiries are passing to and fro, I would like to know-if it is possible for a farmer who has no hogs to suit himself in the location of his stables ? also,'whether a cistern, half full of water, is worth more or less? By answering these questions, you will oblige one who is ever ready to eat any thing that may be set be fore him, without a thought of disadvantage to his neighbor. Yours, truly, RED HILL. Remarks.-You are facetious, Mr. "' RED HILL," or else your brain is fuddled by endeavoring to think on a subject unsuited to your capacity. At present we must de ine the pleasure of gratifying your thirst for information. Write to us in one of your luid intervals (if any such you enjoy,) and we will see what wd can do for you. As at present advised, we should urge your friends, if they have any regard for you, to have at least a "committee" appointed by the Court of Equity to take charge of your incomings and out goings. You must be decidedly too dangerous a man to be suffer ed to walk at large in any community. LoNG CANE ROAD, Aug. 4, 1855. Messrs. Colter 4. Scooter :-H aving visi tedl one of my neighbors this morning, at his request, to advise as to best construction of a Cotton Screwv, he insisted on my remain ing and witnessing a barbecue dinner to be given that day to his negroes, in celebration of their victory over the common enemy of crops, well known as Gen.' Greene. Not being very busy at home, I concluded to re main, and was glad that I did so. About 11 o'clock, after all-white, black, old and young-had partaken freely of the choicest fruits and melons, my neighbor's little son mounted the long table in the back yard, and read in a car and distinct style, the following' DECLARATION oF~ iNDEPENDENCE. WHuEN in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for onie farmi to dissolve the vegetable bands which havo connected it to the yoke of General Greene, and to as sume among the plantations of the neigh. borhood its separate and equal station, to which the lawis of nature and natui-e's God entitle, a decent respect to the opinions of our neighbors, require that we should de clare the means which, under tho blessing of a merciful God, we have so narrowly es. caped destruction from this mnercil-ss foe. We hold these truths to bdi -self-evident: That all farms are not' crested .equal-that they are endowed by their Creator with cer tain .and peculiar soils, that among these are clayey, sahdy, and a combination of these two-a.me rich; and some poor indeed ! That poor land will not bring much grass. But to prove to a candid world that ours is not a poor plantation, we can point to stumps in the field still covered with heaps of our foe-nay more, we point- to large piles of worn out plows, weeding hoes, shat tered plow stocks, poor mules, and -a corn crib whose floor is illumined by the King o'f Day. We have stemned the floods, wve've braved the storm and the hurrioane, we've not flinced from the scorching rays of the mid day's sun ; in fact, we put our shoulders to the wvheels, and called on Jupiter to help us, and his Olympian aid was afforded us. "Veni, vidi, vici,"-we came, we saw, we conquered. 'We must therefore hold Gen. Green as we hold thie rest of his kind, enie mies in war-in peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of this pantatiog,.in general barbacue assemb~led, applig to the' Supreme Judge of Planta tion, for the rectitude of out intentions, do 'in the namaoffauthority of the good pee pe of this' neighborhood, s~olemnlly publish aid deelare,Ithbt-this farm is,. -andof right ought to be, 4iflpencnt of thoe Grass'for this year-that it is-absolved from its alle giance, and thaf all -egetable connection be tween Gen. Greene gcand ought to be to. tally dissolved-tha~t as a clean 'and' well conducted farrm, we 1hav~e ful power to gehr within its limits, as much corfi, wvheat, otto, peas, potatoes, gubers, water melons and manurea ne~vn please, and to sell our crops for as much as we can get for thor, whether Sebastopol is taken by the allied powers-or not. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Di vine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. After the reading of the Declaration, the orator of the day-one of the negroes rose and amidst the cheers and applause of the assemblage, made an address quite ap propriate to the occasion. He gave a full account of the contest with the forces of General Green, and their final success and triumph ; and concluded with a congratula tory harangue on the happy lot of the " Corn field Nigger." S.-E. EXPERIMIENTS WITH BOILED POTATOES. No fact in rural economy is better estab lished, than that cooked food is far more more valuable for feeding animals, than the same food when given in a crude or uncook. ed state. Probably every practical man is aware of this, yet very few avail themselves of the advantages it is calculated to secure. Last season I commenced boiling potatoes for a hog, allowing him one peck a day, and the same time shut up his mate-about the same size,-the first being only five pounds heavier, and began giving- hini un cooked potatoes. -They were both fed at the same time, morning, noon . and night, and both were allowed all they would con sume. Now while the peck of boiled pota toes amply sufficed for the first, the, peck of unboiled ones did not suffice for the second ; he. was restless, continually traversing his pen 'and sqealing as if in distress, while the first took his breakfast, and then quietly re tired to his straw where he enjoyed his siesta till his dinner arrived, which was pre cisely at 12 o'clock, M. Aware that the allowance was insufficient for.the wants of the system, I increased it, giving him twelve quarts per day instead of eight, the quantity with which I had commenced. This kept him somewhat more quiet, yet at times his old restlessness would return, with its usual ,accompaniment-squealing, but no- farther alteration was' made, and he continued to receive his twelve quarts per day-four at a meal-till the experiment was completed, and both put up "to fat." On weighing the two, I found that the one fed on one peck of boiled food, had gained one hundred pounds in three months, while the one fed on raw food, had increased in weight but fifty-six, scarcely more than the increase of growth-and the start which the first one thus gained, kepit him in advance of the other till blh were brought to the tub. Some may say that the cost of fuel, and time in cooking, would be more than an equivalent for the forty-four pounds gain; and so perhaps it would; but it is not con templated to' cook with ordinary apparatus, or for one' hog only. Where there are sev eral -to feed, the farmer can afford to fur nish himself with a steaming'- apparatus, which wvilj render the business both economi cal, and easy to perform.-A Montgomery County Farmer, in Germantowcn Te'legruph. A VALIoIE OINTMENT-W ishing to benefit mankind, and having it in my pow er to do so, I would samy that I have a recipe for making an ei::tm'et that has been thoroughly tried and'founid good for sprains, bruises, swellings, burns, cuts, &c. &c.; andl wishing to have it generally known I hand you for publicaition the following recipe. Take stranmonium, (Jimson leaves,) pound: them well, put them into an iron kettle, ad ding lard enough to cover them; let thenm simmer over a slow fire till the leaves will crisp ; then strain it through a cloth and let it cool. I used this ointment on a. colt that' had been lame for six months" with a sprained knee, after trying vario'us medicines without receiving any benefit,. and this cured her within a wveek, she not having been lame since although it is nowv more thanr eighteen monsths since the application was made. -Mvaine Farirer. 1VINE FROx NATIVE GRAPEs, OR .U~sCA D IYS. -Editors Southern Cuwhlirator : It may~ not be generally known that the tom mon wiia g;-rpe will make an excellent wine. Permit me to give the readersor the Cultiva. tor the process of making it: When the grapes are fully ripe, gather them and pick off all. the faulty and unrip~e grapes, and if you have time and patience, pick: them off the bunches; if not, they may be pressed w~hile oni the clusters by putting them in a sack made of some strong.eloth ; put the sack .in a common. cider press, and as you put in the' grapes mash .thentlightly with a' wooden pestle ; avoid mashing-. thl seed ; press them as long as the juice will run, then raise your press and stir them'up; mash and'-press again ; 'continue the -opera tion until the juice is. entirely extracted. Put this juice in a cask er jug, filling it full so-that when it foments the foam or froth may wvork out, but not full enough for the juice to run. Keep some .df: the juico in another vessel, so that -youb :may'2fill up the cask every two or 'three days, in order that the foam may work over. Put a cloth over the amouth of the jug or cask -to keep out, flies and other insects, but it should be loose enough to allow the foam to work ouit. ''ret it stand until fermentation ceases, which may rdquire five or' six'weeks, but som~et imes not half. that long. Then run, it off as long as it will run clear; then put one. pourfo 'o sugar and half a pint of French Cognge brandy to the gallon ; .put it in y'our'jugr or ask, filling them full; cork it 'up tight so as to exclude the air entirely;. then.the lon ger it stands before using, the better it will Th'le above process will answer for the Muscadino 'which mak~es a good wvine; or for any other variety of grape.

THIS 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 great 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 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 cannot be in troduced into Edgefield District, either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsapar a. This Sarsaparilla is not to be sold on commis sian. Price, per bottle,$51--Six bottles $5.
