FINE SAMPLE OF FLOUR. WE have received a beautiful sample of superfine flour from .the Edisto Mills of Messrs. CoLaMAN & "LYBRAND. Farmers, make no more excuses of want of mills, to deter you from sowing plenty of wheat next season. For the Edisto Mills, DoaN's Steam Mill, SWEARrN tN's kliu and Wirr's Mill .will put to shame all such fimsy excuses. TIE STATE AGRICUL1ORAL SOCIETY. Wa are pleased to see from our exchanges that the selection of the 'President, Mr. A. P. CALHOUN, and the: organization in gene. ral of this Society, meets the approbation of .the aifferent sections of the State. Many subscribers in our section are ready to con. tribute their support to the projected Agri cultural Paper to be established by this So. ciety, as soon as the Executive Committee will send us on a circular; and we hope many will avail themselves of becoming life members. MILLET. No one knows how to estimate the value of this crop who has-not tried it. There are geverpd varieties of this grain that are vale ,able. There is Egyptian Millet, or as some call it, Egyptian Wheat, resembling broom corn in its growth. Also, another common ly called Chicken Millet, which resembles in growth wheat or rice,. and answers better for broad-casting. We have lately come across another which tray be classed among these, and that.is the sugar-cane corn (holcus sacharratus) fro* which it is said can be manufactured sugar in abundance, as well as food for stock from its grains and leaves, as also paper from its stalk. This resembles Guiney corn in its growth. We will be glad to furnish our friend " FARMER," with a few seed of the various kinds to try next year, and report on their relative merits. . Millet should be sown early in the-Spring, about the first of April, and the better the soil, and more deeply cultivated before plant iiig the better the crop will be. The Egyptian .vgrety should'not be planted thicker~than 3 x 5 feet, and only two or three stalks to the hill, as it spreads or bunches out widely. Keep out the grass and weeds and tend as other coin. O GRAPES. # WE have not received the first sample of this delicious and much neglected fruit this season, from the many and worthy contribu tors to our department. The ladies surely have forgotten us, for we beliere that the *cotton-mungers have left this virie to their management alone. This would have been well enough if they had left them. a little land beside the small garden, and some little help to prune and trim the vineyard. We think the ladies could do much fur the cause of temperance by training a few choice vines even around their piazzas, and expres sing the pure juice of the grape, and keep ing on hand a few bottles in order to'induce their husbands to stay at home and keep sober. And, while we think of it, we will give a receipt or two for their encourage mnent in this branch of horticulture. In the first place great care in the selection of sound .fruit, and cleanliness of the casks, &c., and .quie~k pressing is important. From the same grapes, says (Mr. LoxowonTH,) of a .red or dark color, four or five wines can be iade, by a different process of manufacture. 'By pressing, as soon as gathered, a white 'Mine is made, of the color of Madeira or !Hock. By the addition of sugar to the anust, a sweet wine. By adding no sugar, s dry wine. By a small portion of sugar to the must, a wine between the two. The coloring matter is in the skin. By fermenting on the skins, a red wine is made, and by the - uame process in adding sugar, wines of the chaacier of the -white. Where sugar is added it should always be to the must, as it comes from the press,-not the wine after fermentation. Mr. GUIGNARD, of Columbia, S. C., fol lowed Mr. HBREsxoY-r'S plan of adding sugar at the rate of a half pound to one pound per gallon of juice, and added brandy when he racked his new wine, which was at the commencement of winter. ~This sugar must be a'dded to the must, for if it is added after fermentation a second fermentation will 'resalt the next spring. Thirtythree per cent of brandy added to the must, as it comes from the press, will check all fermentation. If we add more sugar than the leaven will eonvert into alcohol the wine wjill not run into the acetous fermentation, but the result will be a rich sweet wine. Win, should be kept in a cool cellar, or the neatreat~approach to it,, and it will improve in flavour #.64 quality as well as in value by ong keeping, o Mr. SIDNar .WMzE o Halifax City, N C., asserts that from Senppernong vines $,500-to 86;00) oabe realised per acre by the manufaoture of a white wine or 8cenu orbadeiria, whiol; is worth $3 y ergallon, and a Scupperqong;Ho.pk worth i. Procure the Catawbar Siiernong, E.lboroqgh, Lenilor, Ohio, HerIeinent and ..uikaella,-and dont forget the Gild grape, -he~museadine, ad. especially the blackber iaeggpeg; and if you fail to make good wine fou will certainly not- have to bny sinegar. Our lands are well adapted to. the cultiva tion of the Grape. A writer in the Char leston Standard, from -Aiken, over the signa ture of "VIATOR," thus notices the succes ful cultivation of the vine in that vicinity. "As-I have already mentioned, the soil is light, and, though responsive to proper culti vation, is not capable of an extraordinary yield in the ordinary staple products of our country. But to fruit culture, and particu larly to the culture of. the grape, it would seem to be singularly suited, and several vineyards have been lately started with every promise of the most distinguished success. Of those the. most- extensively engaged in this pursuit are Dr. McDonald and Mr. Car dene, the latter of whom I lately had- the opportunity of visiting, and was greatly pleased at:the prospect exhibited. About four acres, upon the sunny side of the high hill upon which his house is situated, have been. planted- with several of the finest variety of grape, and they are bearing .freely, and the ripening fruit was the most tempting I have ever seen. This gentieman has the hope of making about 1,200 gallons of wine, and as it is readily sold for about $1,50 per gallon, the business would seem to be highly profita ble. Of his varieties the most important are the Isabella grape, a seedling from the ordi. nary Mosquedine-the "Burgundy" and the " Warren," the last of which is also a seed ling from the wild grape of the country, and is much the most promising of any that has yet been introduced to cultivation. The flavor is exceedingly rich, and the wine pro duced from it unusually fine. As the soil of all this table land would seem to be suited to this culture, and as a hand, with some little assistance in the vintage season, is suffi cient for the cultivation of three acres, the yield of which, under favorable circumstan ces, will be above 1,000 gallons, there is every reason for believing that this will be come a great wine-growing district, and will add much to the resources of the State." TURNIPS, TURIIPS. Do T forget to continue to sow turnips, -large crops for the sheep, cattle and hogs for " he that soweth sparingly will also reap sparingly." Come, look over your plan tation and see if you cannot spare another acre or two or five to be set aside fol. the cultivation of this valuable crop. FOR THE ADvERTISER. TUE SWEET POTATO. MEssRs. COULTER & SCOOTER :-The Muses once thought so much of the hasty pudding, that they set one of their worship pers to work to celebrate its merits in song; and this fact has led me to believe that those fair divinities are a little partial in the bes towal of their favors. It is not my wish, gentlemen, to depreciate the merits of the hasty-pudding ; but I beg leave to say, that in my humble opinion, there are objects more meritorious which have been left "un honored and unsung,"-nay, even unthought of, and the sweet potato is one of them. The sweet potato! Oh ! ye devotees of he "lovely nine," here is a theme upon which you may exercise all your powvers of art and fancy, and yet your song will but be begun! The subject of this article, gentlemen, is a household blessing. It is worth more in stopping the noisy mouths of "incipient hu anity," than all the knick-knackery of the onfectionary art combined. For example, ust see that young specimen of humanity onder, with his face and mouth all twisted p like a cork-screw ! IHear him: " Mother, mother, oh, mother." " What in the world do you want, my lear child ! Why, you are enough to run ne crazy.". " Pease manm give' baby a 'tater." The dear lady administers to his wants by iving him a large potato. There, all ye who dont believe in potatoes, just see that hld's bright and smiling countenance as he asses out of the door, and exclaims to his lder sister, " Oho, I've got a 'tater." Ab, here's happiness, for the time-being, that a King might wish to possess-and it is all roduced by the potatb. What more lovely sight would you wish o see than a half dozen of these precious ousehold jewels around the domestic hearth, oasting potatoes ! Oh, gentlemen, if it has ever been your happiness to see it, I beg ou to believe me, wvhen I assure you, there s nothing like it in the beautiful world we ive in. And let me persuade you, if you bve any children, to raise potatoes-swceet taoes-for them. In discussing the merits of the sweet po ato, the question is not what it is, but wvhat s not good for. It would be comparatively asy 'to say, " The sweet potato is good asted or baked, fried or broiled, stewed or oiled, in puddings and in pies, in custards and in bread, in dumplings and in tarts ;" ut tell me who can, what it is not good for -what it is not good in-how it may be ooked and not be good t I needn't pause for a reply, for-nobody will dare to attempt it. A son of tho " Emeral Isle," once came ver to this country with his family. Hie wrote back to his friends in the " auld coun try," telling them of the many blessings en joyed here. 'rho oldest son, hearing his father read the epistle, and perceiving that e had, left out the most important item, jumps up and exclaims, "yis, anc( father put in that we have swceet praties here, too." Diserning boy ! He had the true idea of the utile cum dulce. F A KME R.

[From the Albania Planter.] ON THE APPIOPRIAT CLIMATE' M. PARTICU .AR CROPS. Withdrawn by necessity from the active duties of the profession of a planter, I shall occupy the leisure with the object of em ploying my time and in the hope that I may be of some service to others. I am not a believer in the often made remark " that any fool can make a planter," but in its very contrary, that there is no -business that calls more often for the exercise of a sound judge. ment, or where so many circumstances are to be considered in directing it. A good planter should be a close observer, and the experience of one year often makes a better one than years of practice to the unobserv ant. It is impossible to lay down any rule for cultivation that ought not with propriety be varied to suit the season, and what is said-must be understood as very general. There are some principles to be carried out and objects obtained,, and.the work is to be directed with the's views. Every plant has its appropriate region where it - flourishes most, though care and attention may extend it beyond. It seems to be the plan of an allwise Providence to scatter the goods and ills with an eqoal hand. The orange and the banana, the apple and pair, the sugar cane and the sugar maple, and a thousand other things mark climate and evidence this fact. Each has its equal share of these equal gifts. I shall only allude to a few - that come more generally under the care of the plan ter. The sugar cane begins at the equator and extend up to 30', and though grown in Louisiana as high as 310, must be consider ed a forced growth and -the taking in the crop often limited by ice. The appropriate region for cotton is from 320 to 34*, and all attempts at successful cultivation below 310 have been failures where it has been long enough continued to produce its appropriate diseases and enemies. I am aware it is now grown with advantage below that latitude in Texas and the Flori das, but it is to be remembered that it is a new cultivation there and so far an experi ment. The. lands in Texas are very fine and are cultivated with skill, and it has not been a very certain crop. The two last seasons have yielded better crops than those preceding them.. 1rhe result of long con tinued cugivation in other States has proved the correctness of this general truth. It was some years ago the only growth of perhaps the most fertile body of lands in Louisiana lying in latitude 31?. 1 allude to the Bay ous Bceuf, Rouge, Robert and Coti, and now the sugar culture is substituted for that of cotton throughout this neighborhood. A small colony of large planters from South Carolina, removed to the bead waters of the Escainbia in 1818 and in the same latitude. They, for many years, made extravagant crops. These lands are now all abandoned to that use. The plant had increased in the size and lessened in boll hearing, but the principal cause of their desertion was the ravages of the worm. All crops do well when new to the country and soil. Many years' continuance and to some ex tent, is necessary to fully determine their suitability. There is but very little land in Louisiana, Alabama or Georgia, below 31*, where it is cultivated to any extent. The West Indies formerly grewv much cotton, whereas none is now grown. These facts, though they do not establish, must justify the doubt, whether they can be relied on as lands when long and generally planted. The cold of a higher parallel seems wanted to destroy the larvai of insects. The region for Indian corn is from 35* to 370, and though grown well above and below, the product is not the same per acre. Where grown in the colder climates, the size of the stalk and the ears are dwarfed and the fodder not so valuable. Where grown too far south it runs too much into stalk and blade and less into ears, and the product decidedly less per-acre. If this be so, the system of cultivation should be adap ted to it. The region for wheat is where that for corn ends, and for the Irish potato where wheat ends, and I think the same may be observed of the other fruits of the earth. The orange, the peach, the pear and the apple have their appropriate latitudes. if these remarks are, correct they would seen to indicnte that you should advance. or re strain the influences of climate on the plant so as to bring it in size and fruitfulness to grow in its best latitude. My most deliberate reflection has induced me to believe in the general truth of the foregoing remarks and it has been the guide to my cultivation. I purpose to make a communication on the culture of corn, as without being intended to do so it seems that its usual cultivation in fact carries out this idea. A PL ANTE R. OERA FOR INTER Sour.-Take a clean tight cask, sprinkle a layer of fine Liverpool salt over the bottom; on this place a layer okra pods cut green from the bushes; now sprinkle another layer of salt, and then anothor layer okra, and so on until the cask is full. It will shrivel, but lose none of the peculiar soup juices. When wanted for soups take it out and cut it up, and place it in the pot without salt, as the salt already in the okra will diffuse itself throughout the soup and make the ssoning about right. There is a method of saving tomatos, but it is attended with much trouble, the safest plan is to make tomatos into catsup. Then, we npt only have the tomatto, but the other ingredients flavor the soup.-Soil of the ~South. MArLrESE GoArs.-A. correspondent of the " Soil of the South," who is nowv raising a flock of Maltese Goats, thinks the subject eminently. worthy the attention of stock raisers. He milks from eight to seventeen cows and his goats, he says, average as much milk as his cows. The milk is most delicate and delicious. These goats are not mischiev ous, nor do they possess that strong musk favor peculiar to the commnon goat. Among them is a sucking kid, which has never had anf young, that gives a quart of milk every night. The Maltese goat. is of large size, has long hair and is beautifully formed. The writer is of opinion that a cross with the Cashmere goat could produce an animal that combine milk and fine wool. For Sale, T WO Grade Devon Bull.Calves.

ARTICLE, FOR DISEASES OF THE LIVER, ANo 117=-Y. !113 8Z9111 T 1HS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sarsa parilla whieb grows in the Southern States and nothing else. It has-the natural Sarsaparilla taste. Its effect upon the system in all casesin 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 Edgefleld District, either for profes sional or family use, than -the Georgia Sarsapar Ula. This Sarsaparilla is not to be sold on commis sion. Price; per bottle, $1--Six bottles $5. For sale by Druggists genernlly. E2?
