" Muon" asks " Who is the best farmer in the District." We answer, he that makes the most by tending to his own business and letting other people's alone,-who raises his own meat, mules, wool, &c.,-buys the least of foreign produce-never waits for his neighbor to repair each half of a copartner ship-fence,-and who takes two or three good agricultiral papers and pays for teem in awunce. _ _ _ OUR EXCHANGES.

But do as you like.. TIE FIEAN PLOW. Wa call special attention to the advertise mnent of this Plow; and can speak from ex periene, that it is. the very best plow, all things -considered, now in use. It is superior to all- plows in stiff 'elay soils, wvhich want thorough culture; indispensable to sandy -soils having clay foundations, and even as good as the best for thorough preparation in Spring af sandy soils without olay subsoils. 'The Stock being of wrought iron, does not rot soon, or need any wedging up; and if the mule runs away, and runs around the Seid again and again, the old Iron Plow al ways comes out best in -the- race, and is rady to eommencee operations at the bid of the driver. It will avoid the trouble and ox pense of elevis and pin. It can be suited to a long and narrow sub-soil plow hoe, or a seodier, or coulter, or scraper or sweep and turning plow that will turn over the sedge .and weeds better than any plow we ever saw, and that without -choking up. -Nay, more, we never heard alledged one reasona -4le objection to it from the most c~ritical judges of what a plow ought t be. . THE INSPIRATION OF TRUFFLES. Here is one vegetable that we know noth ing in the world about. We pluck the fol lowing notice of it from the Agricultural Division of the Patent office: -Tde CULTIvATION OF TRUFFLCs.-It has been suggested to the Patent Office that measures shouald be taken to introduce the truffle into the United States. This esculent - which in some respects resembles the mush *rdom, has been the favorite dish of epicures - from time immemorial to the present day, and yet -strange to say, they have always been scarce .and high-prieed, few -knowing bow to raise them, and fewer still possessing 'the proper knowledge to prepare them for - ihe table. The royal cooks of France say dhat "the truffle improves all it touches," and -happy the cuissinier who can give a etaste of its delicacy and flavor to each bepa '-ate dish! A gay. French writer says: "When I eat truflles, I at once think myself transpor ted' to another world ; for instantly my spir. it becomes more gay and joyous; my bloe'd coerses my .veins with an indescribable pleaure ; an agreeable voluptuoustiess seizes upon -me, and my wvhole spirit is changed by the delicious symposium. As I continue eatimig, mny judgment becomes sound and discreet, my wit sharp and ready, and my imagibigi pr'the most lofty, variedl, and beutiul-laIndeed, a strt of inspiration comes overme, and I feel as if dould readily writesn''eiO poem, address a popular as sembly with unsurpassed eloquence, and composO works.whish,;for depth of learning, and bea';ud- linady'f style, should astonish te world. Thetitbe agreea~le di gestion which- followa--.ths-delioious sleep and the ecstatic dreams Ias, language is too poor to portray these ; and-al-yea, all -ar inspired by truffles !". If such be really the effect of this vegeta bli, would it not be a good iea for editors '-to get into the seed. -Any such agreeabf. help to die imigination would be ar g iboen dull, dull times. But we dare say- the remarks of Monsieur Frenchinan, as copied above, ought to be taken with many grains of allowance. Dr. LEIBER, in his "Ameri cana Encyclopedia," says that these truffles are good enough but very indigestible. SCOOTER"- TO "CAMRIDGE." WE are truly sorry that our friend " CAX BRIDGE" construed anything in our reply to his article, into a want of kindness or loss of temper.. We assure him again, that nothing as yet has excited any other emotion in us, but, a fondness for the jest. We- confess that we were not at the time properly posted and that some of our flings were made at randum.- We hope he will so consider them. Believing that his affability and confiding nature has already suffered by being too easily influenced by his "Ransey -Snie" advizers, and knowing that he has soul that can be soothed by the mellowing strains of poetry, theifollowing lines, to this end, are respectfully dedicated. Awake ! awake! my dprmant muse, My long neglected lyre infuse Strike ! strike " th' enchanted shell" again, And breathe for-me some pleasing strain. That will not fall with-" caustic" hard, Upon the "living" Cow-Pea bard. O, no! we would not kill or wound So choice a pen as we have found; But rather, dip our pen in mirth, And chant aloud his priceless worth, Who throws his pallet to the breeze, And substitutes for pills Cow Peas. Our "-witness" lives, is living still, But warns us-lay aside the quill; We give it up, we cannot pull, - 'Gainst one who sells a sway-back bull,' With-wrinkled brow aid water face, For "blooded Stock-pure Devon race." ." The milk of human kindness" still, Uncurdled flows-a pleasing thrill, For " CaasanE" ad his Ransep's" jest ; And e'er will make us do our best, To strengthen bonds of friendship true, That ne'er shall end or take adieu. Wi.ussoN, Aug. 10, 1855. FOR THE ADVERTISER. MILLET. Masses. COULTER & 'SCOOTER :-Gitle nen: " A prophet is not without honor save in his own country and among his own peo. pile," was spoken by one who " spake not as an speaketh," and it generally holds true, so far as my observation goes. Hence this communication is addressed to outsiders the outsiders of the " Advertiser," and the mutsiders of my neighborhood. The insi lers, therefore, are to understand that it is not intended for their benefit. .1 want none >f their "sry glances and lurking smiles." Millet, gentlemen, is -a great thing, and hat is saying.a great deal in its favor. It is my hobby, and that is saying much more, or evei-y body who knows me, know that I ide a sleek, thrifty, good-looking animal ou can't catch me on anyother sort. .Millet is ood for horses, mules, cattle, hogs,--every ~hing, in fact, that " walketh on - four legs nd eateth the grass of the field." It makes orses shed off and look sleek ; it makes ogs thrifty, frisky and grow fast, and what is more, it makes thema quit lying about their eeding ground all day and trotting and queling after everybody that passes. And m Northern editor says, it is good for man lso-it makes him hearty, strong and ac ive, and I believe it. Let any body who loubts that Millet possesses all these valna ,le properties, only give it a fair trial, and y word for it, you will be unable to buy im off from it afterwards. He will be sure o think that ho can't do without it, and onder how he managed to do without it so ng. -And now, gentlemen, permit me to ask, Joud you not give an article occasionally n the cultivation of Millet? It might do ood, and I am sure it wvould be very inte ~estg -to-at least, one of your readers. fou need not-fear overstepping the mark in its praises; and you can always refer to or humble friend. FA RMER. Higgins' Ferry, Aug. 9, 1855. REMARKs.-As yet we have never~tried illet, but intend doing so upon the. re ommendation of " FARMER." We hope e will let us. hear from, him again on his node of cultivation, curing, &c. ' THE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. OUR farmiers should give their serious and areful attention to the following Report of. the Committee on Business to the Agricul ural Convention recently assembled in Co. umbia. The Committee. to whom was referred the prepgration of business for the coissidera ion of thisConvention, respectfully report: That they have calnly and maturely re feted upon the objects which have caused o large and intelligent a number of citizens o convene at this place. Your Commitee ave come to the conclusion, that a period as arrived in the agricultural history of South Carolina, where something ought and must be done to stop the retrograding mo tion of -our agricultural interests-some means must be adopted, by which her citi zens will be aroused from their present state of lethargy, and some effort made to unite them in one coummon band of brotherhotod, for the purpose of advancing tho agricultu. ral, scientific and mechanical interests of ur State.-. Your Committee would earnestly bring to the attention of this Convention the mourn ful fact, that the interest heretofore taken by ur citizens in agricultural improvemient has become stationary ; that our 'old fields are nlarging; our homesteads have been de reasing fearfully in numbers; and her en. rgetic sons at-e annuaill seeking the rich and- fertile lands of th southwest, upon which they imagine that treble the amount of profits can be made upon capital, than upon our own soils. Nor is this all. We are not only. losing some of our most ener geticoeitisens, to supply the bone and sinew of other States, but we are losing our slave population, which is the true wealth of the State; our stoocks of hogs, horses, mules nd cattle are diminishing in size and de easing in number, and our -purses are be. ing strained for the last cent, to supply their plaes from the northwestern States. This state of affairs should not exist. We must arouse, by some means, the dormant ener gies of our people. We must bring them n contact with each other,'where they can see .a hear. each fr himself some nserul and practicable suggestion of his neighbors, and from the citizens of other parts of the :State. We must see and bear how our citi zens are restoring oar worn-out lands-the improvements they are making upon, their stocks of mules, hogs, cattle and shee what great increase in the yield of eir crop, by a judicious selection of seeds-the mode and manner of planting and tilling their.land-and lastly, to see the great im provement that are daily being made in ag ricural implements. When our people see and hear these things for themselves, there will be a spirit of inquiry awakened in the-breast of every one, and the echo will fly from the mountain to the seaboard. We will stand by the old Palmetto Statel Our sons will no longer seek the god of mam mon, in the fertile lands of the south-west ; but an attachment and zeal will be engen. dered in the bosom of* each - for -our homes and the land of our birth, that will never die as long as this spirit of inquiry and emula tion is kept alive. When we take into con: sideration the natural advantages we enjoy, our great system. of railroad inter-communi cation, by. which is daily developed the hid den resources of our State-our easy access to one of the beat and cheapest markets on the -Atlantic-the comforts of life and health we enjoy in the middle and upper districts, and then contrast them with the low wa ters in the western rivers-the cholera, the yellow fever and mosquitoes .which scourge the south-west, we will then be convinced that our homes in South Carolina are more durable, and our land will yield us great iett income over the lands in the south-west. The question then, suggests itself, how are the energies of our people to be awaken ed upon the all-important subject of agricul tural improvement ! We answer, it can be done by the establishment of a State Agri cultural Society,.aided and assisted by dis trict societies-by collecting useful facts and instriretive opinions, which are known to numerous individual farmers, the embodying s.* useful information, and diffusing it throughout the State-by the annual exhibi tion of the agricultural, mechanical, artistic and domestic productions of our citizens. At these fairs our people will be brought in contact with each other--expression of opin ions will be elicited, inquiry will be set on foot, and our people will return from each annual festival with new ideas, and 'in fixed determination to turn over a new leaf in agricultural improvement. To encourage us in the establishment of a State Agricultu ral Society, we have but to cast our eyes to our sister States, Virginia, Maryland; North Carolina 'and Georgia, and see what State -Agricultural Societies have done in giving a new impulse to the energies of their people; their old fields have been re claimed, expatriation of their sonsas in a great measure ceased, and thej now linger on the fatherland, tied by kindred and hal. lowed associations. We feel that something should be done to arrest the deterioration of our land, and the expatriatiott- of our ener getic sons from our proud old State, made glorious by the brilliant achievements of the sages and patriota that have gone before us. Your Committ'ee, therefore, without ex pressing any opinion as to the management and working of the Society, for they con cede that to be the appropriate duty of the Executive Committee, beg leave to submit. the following resolutions, for consideration of the Convention: Resolved, That a State Agricultural So ciety be formed. Resolved, Tbat the State. Agricultural Society shall consist of individual members, upon their paying an annual subscription of two dollars, or twenty-five dollars for lire membership. Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the Pr esident, to draft a suita ble Constitution, that they proceed forthwith to the discharge of their duties, and report the same at the earliest practicable moment or ratification by the Convention now in Bession. Resolved, That if suitable arrangements an be made with the citizens of Columbia, this Committee recommend that the Society be established at this place. All which is respectfully submitted. J. F. M ARSH ALL, Chairman. lOW TO MAEONE FARM EQ)JAL TO THREE. In a recent address by G. T. Stewart, Esq. before the Ohio Agricultural Society, he thus speaks on this subject: Many farmers are destroying the prodpc tiveness of their farms by shallowv work. As they 'fid that their crops are diminishing they think only of extending their acres of surface, as if they supposed their tidle deeds only gave them a right to six inches of earth. If they will take those deeds, -study their meaning, and apply the lesson to their fields, they will soon realize in three fold crops, the act that the lawv has giveni them three farms where they supposed they had only one; in other words, that the subsoil, brought up and combined with the top soil and enriched with-the atmospheric influences and those other elements which agricultural science will teach them to apply to their ground, will increase three fold the measure of its productiveness. To showv to what extent the fertility of the soil can be increased, I rerer to a state. ment in the last Patent Office Report. In the year 1850, there were nine competitors for the premium cornt crops of Kentucky, each of whom cultivated ten acres. Trheir average'crop was about 122 bushels per are. At that time, the average crop of wheat per acre in the harvest of Great Bri tan on soil cultivated for centuries was about double that produced on the virgin soil of Ohio. Why is this! Simply be cause British farmers are educated men and apply work wisely. They pay back to the earth whiat they borrow; they endeavor by every means in- their power to' enrich their ground and in turn it enriohes them. If our farmers instead of laboring to double their acres, would labor to double their crops, they wvould find it a vast saving of time and soil, and an increase of profits. Many of themi never think of digging 10 inches into the soil, unless they have dream ed- about a crock of gold hidden in the earth;~but if they would set about the work of digging in earnest, every man would find his crock of gold without the aid of dreamt or divination. We have great advantage over British farmers in the fact that our farmiers nearly all hold the lands which' they cultivate in fee simple, while in England they are chiefly tenants hiring the land of the nobility, 'pay. ing enormous rents to the proprietors, be sides heavy taxes to the government. Taxes here are comparatively light, and our far. mers are their own landlords. Hence they have been able to pay three 'fofds wages for labor to those in Europe, and the cost of transportation and yet undersell the British farmers in their own market. THEn leading brewer of Buffalo in prepar ing to close his business on the Fourth of July, was heard to say; "Selling liquor is an infernal mean business. No man knows how me.n it is till ho has tgiven it un." TmE.?A*rE$'S SONG. Success to the jolly old firmer, Who sighs at the tail of the plow, The monlarch of-prairie and forest, 'Tis only to God hemay bow. He is surely a fortunate fellow, He raises his bread and his cheese : And though bard is his labor in summer, In winter he lives at his easb. Whenthe reign of-winter is broken -And spring oozes to -gladden and bless ; When thefrogs iii the meadow are sporting, And the robinis buildint her nest The farmer wallrthato iis labor, And manly an . is his tread, And he scatters " e seed for the harvest That yields to the nations their bread. His banks are all't ed by nature, Their credits ard ample and sure ; His clerks never slopeilith deposits, Pursued by the Aurse of the poor. His stocks are the best in the market; His shares are thebsares of the plow ; They hing the bright gold to his coffers, And pleasure and health to his brow. When his crops are gathered and sheltered, Wheq his cattle are snug in the fold ; He site himself down by the fireside And laughs at the tempest and cold. A stranger totpride and ambition, His duty he strives to fulfill Determined whatever betides him, To let the world jog as It will. His trust in Him who has given The seasons, the sunshine and rain, Who-has promised "seed time and harvest," So long as the earth shall remain. And if from his duties he wander, Led on by his venturesome will, Through life and its changing relationis, God's Providence follows him still.

T HIS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sara 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-irising from a torpid stute of the Liver, or impure state, of the lilood. . 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 at 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 improvet their general health. -, A better and more useful medicine cannot-be in troduced into Edgcfiel4 District, either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsapur lla.
