A punctual attendance of.all.the Members,::and of all our ihrmerurin generalg is earnestly solicited, simteh business of importance will then be Cdm one.-comeall-come all together." time to put this noble enterprise itotitooessful operation. Let no farmer in Ile pistrict of Edgefield lag behind; -ut come forward and put his shoulder to the, wheel, and. push the -thing beyond the con tingency of a doubt as to its entire success. Then will we be confident of having one of the best and most permanent Societies in the State. This is a matter in which every farmer (from the smallest to the greatest, from the oldest to the youngest planter,) -is deeply interested. Its chief object is to benefit the farmer and elevate his profession to that degree of eminence to which it has, gidoubtedly, so many just claims. No one need fear -that he will not be benefited by becoming a member. There is no man, hebever.great may be his attainments, that nay not learn something of useful import tance from the most obscure individuals. %hose who think they know enough already abet farming should, by all means, become members; in order to avail themselves of the opportunity of teaching those of less infor mation and experience. This in itself will gfnatly benefit them, as it will afford them the satisfaction of having done sone good in their-day.and gene-ration. We appeal to the pride of our'District to sustain this noble enterprise at every hazard. w we cannot compete with our sister Dis tsicts in building Rail Roads, let us by all noeana keep pace *ith them in agricultural iuipr&eugent. Let. us no longer be taunted itia want of public spirit, and no longer >e the by-werd for inactivity and do-nodhing ReSO1Etions. We trust that all our citizens are fully apprized of the utility and great necessity for the formation of such a Socie ty in our District, and whatever our hands find to do, let us do with all our might. .'We give below a Constitution which will be offeired at our next meeting. Those who wish it amended in any particular, can on that day have a chance of making a speech. This being the e'ase many speeches may be expected, and we hope the people w'ill turn out en masse. Let every farmer then come preparid to join the Sotciety, and thus iden tify-himself with the cause of agricultural improvement. CONSTI'TUTION OF THE EDGEFIELO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. ' ARTICL.E 1sT.

ALTHOUGH we have generally saved an unusual quantitfbf good fodder this season, we should by no means neglect to save all the bay that can possibly be gathered. Hay when properly saved, is worth more than fodder and will at any time command -a higher price in cities. It is an easy matter to save it, and by pressing it in the Cotton screw, can be made into convenient pack ages for transportation. As all our farmers are blessed with a fine crop of this commodity, let us see who will report the largest quantity saved. For the benefit-of those wishing to enter the lists we pluck the following from the Farmer 4 Planter. CUTTING HAY.-There are at present a multitude'of conflicting opinions in relation to the period when grass should be cut, some contending that the operation of mow ing should be commenced as soon as the de velopment of the flowers has commenced ; others that the" -scythe should by no means be introduced till the sd has become par tially matured, as the ppose the superior value of this adds more to the value of the plant as a whole, than it abstract. No deft nite rules, however, can be laid down in thia matter, as practice must necessarily vary with the contingencies of temperature, as pect, climate and the specific character of the grasses ordinarily cultivated. For our own part, we think that one should com mence as soon as infiorescence begins. He will then have time to get through baying before the crop becomes too far advanced to~eards maturity ; and his hay, though less heavy, and consequently somewhat less valuable as a market product, perhaps, will be much more succulent and sweet tbsp if permitted to stand till a later period, or till it becomes dead ripe. The old method of making hay in the sun and drying it till scarcely a particle of moisture is left in the fibre, is now almost universally depreciated. On this subject, one of the greatest farmers who has ever lived, has the following remarks, which we find in the Germantown Telegraph: " As soon as the grass is fairly~freed from moisture, it is put into heaps, which are made as high as possible ; and to prevent these from falling dowvn a small stake is driven into the ground, around which the grass is carefully arranged with the hand. A handful of grass is then taken fromn one~ of the swvaths, and the longest and strongest' portions are chosen from it to cover the top of the heap or hay-cock with, care being taken to trim the upper or flowvering part of the grass dowvnward. These pyramidal heaps are then suffered to remain until the grass of which they are composed is thor oughly dry, which is generally somewhere between the eighth and fifteenth day. On the heap being opened, the grass in the inte rior of it will generally be found to retain its hue and freshness. I have seen grass thus made into large heaps, in dry and windy weather, which has made very rapidly with out requiring to be moved, and has been quite green. Temporary rain or showvers will not do it any harnm beyond that of de priving the external parts of some portion of its greenness, but should the wet weather continue for any considerable period of time, there is a possibility of the -hay becoming too much compressed; it will then be neces sary to open the heaps, and shake and loos en the hay, in order to prevent it from ac quiring an unpleasant flavor." This may be obviated by making the cocks small, say of about eighty pounds wveight, when first put up, and 'covering them care fully with green grass. 1 give you this for what it is worth, some may be induced to try it this season on a small scale, and report the result. One thing is admitted by every one, which is, that the less the hay, in ma king, is exposed to the sun, the more valua ble it is, it retains its color and flavor better, and consequently is worth a great deal more per ton than when dried up by the burning rays of the sun.-Real Estate Register. Asizs IN~ ARICULTURE.-Wood ashes is one of the most important fertilizers. It is, easily obtained in any quantity at little or no expense. Take them carefully from your. hearths and save them until your corn and potatoes have risen two or three inches from the ground, then take a basket on your arm and from it take a small handful of ashes and cast it at the root of your plants and hoe them soon, so as cover the ashes. By this means you will increase your crop one-half. Ashes contain all the inorganic substances of the wood or plants which are consumed, part of these are soluble and part insoluble. But the soluble substances mixed with water will dissolve the insoluble. Thus, dissolved potash will dissolve silica and prepare it for glazing the stalks of cane, corn, wheat, &c. . Not a particle of ashes should go to waste. Leached ashes has parted with most of its potash, but it still retains its phosphoric acid and most of its lime. Ashes neutralizes acids in the soil, they warm cold, mossy, wet places, they are very destructive to insects, they assist to break down and dissolve the coarse fibres and stalks ln compost heaps, render hard, layed soils open, loamy and fertile. The potash, so material to most crops, can be obtained here, only from ashes. In granite. regions, potash is obtained from the dissolution of the field spar, but. we have none in this region of country. Wheat contains a large proportion of pot ash. Fifty-nine per cent, of the ashes of corn is carbonate of potash, and one-half of the earthy-part of Irish potatoes is pure pot. ash. Save your ashes, therefore, as carefully ply tliem to your crops with Aare and you will And them of a rich deep green color while growing and .heavy with nutriment at barvest.-Ancient City. FOR THE ADVUETISER. LIGHTNlG AND lRASS. Messrs. Coulter 4 Scooter :-1 do not re colleethaving seen anything in your columns on the effects of lightning on cotton or grass. There can be but little doubt that electricity has considerable to do with the growth of cotton as well as grass. It is said that the rain when, attended with thunder and light ning is more nourishing and fertilizing than showers without it, but I wont say whether it is so or not. But. I have lately seen in my cotton patch, when looking about for the whereabouts of a streak of lightning, that occurred recently very near -iny house, a circle of about twenty-five yards diameter,. including twenty-one or more rows of cot ton, which was quite destroyed by lightning, having a burnt or parched appearance. In the circumference of the circle stood a per simmon tree, twenty-five or thirty feet high, which had the bark, for about six or eight feet of the lower part of the trunk and on opposite sides rent in longitudinal fiissures of a foot or so long, with occasional inter missions in the line where the bark was not injured-the wood was not injured in tex ture in any part. The only sign of violence in the soil was a hole about knee-deep in the centre of the circle. Was this tree struck with lightning I Or was it the effect of the electricity going from the.centre of the circle from the ground to the and clouds, causing such rarefgction of the atmosphere as to relieve the bark of the tree from the ordinary pressure of the atmos. phere, thus causing the bark to burst open I Or is this the usual cause of the splitting-o trees and other bodies under the effects oi lightning I Well, furthermore, if the cotton was killed so dead, I suppose that by the rule of three, you would calculate or philosophize it out some way that the grass was all dead in the same circle-but, Sirs, you are very much mistaken: it is as flourishing as ever It is easy for bystanders to make observa. tio'ns on our having a grassy crop this year, but when we see the blighting effects of lightning fail, we do not wonder that the well aimed blows of hoes, and them dull too, should come a little short of killing exactly all. FRANKLIN. P. S.-Please print this in the paper of our school-fellow, old Dr. BURT, as we wani to hear what he says about it. ART OF MILKING.-The art of milking well is not taught in a hurry. It requirel longr practice to milk properly, and therefore all the young people on a farm ought to be shown how tbe labor should be done. It is quite important that this branch of the dairy should be particularly attended to, for a good milker obtains at least a quart more from the same cow than a poor milker. The first lesson to be taught to young people is gentleness and kindness to thE cow. They never need' be treated harshly, in case the business is properly commenced. Cows that have been caressed and uniform. ly well treated, are fond of having the milli drawn from the udder at the regular time ol milking, for it gives them relief from the dis tensions of the milk tucts. Let young people be put to milking thE farrow cows first, or such'as are to be soors dried, and then the loss from bad .milking will be less injurioins. The hand should ex tend to the extremity of the teats, for the milk is then drawn easier. Young people should be taught to milk at fast as possible. More milk is always ohb tained by a rapid milker than by a slow one. They should therefore be taught to think oi nothing else while milking, and no conver. sation must be permitted in the milk yard. They should sit up close to the cow and rest the left arm gently against her shankt Then if she raises her foot, as she sometime. will, merely to change position, shte will ntol be likely to put it into the milk pail. In case of a disposition to kick, or rathier to raise her foot on account of pain occasion. ed from soreness of the teats, the nearer the milker sijs to her, and the harder he presses his,left arm against her leg the less risk wvill be run of being injured. Cows me be taught to give down theiu milk at once-and they may be taught. tc hold it a long while and to be stripped indefi nitely. The best way is to milk quick and not use the cow to a long stripping, or an after strippling-Northern Farmer. A Trial of Reaping Machines, at the Industrial Fair, in Paris, has taken place, and as usual, the American inachines carried off' the palm from the French and English machines. Already the wvealthy farmera from all parts of the country are coming to Paris to see these machines. A mnore lively interest is taken in them than was anticipa. ted, and no difficulty whatever will be ex. porienced in their introduction into general use. How TO PRRVBNJT THE TU~RN1P FLY-A correspondent informs us that two ounces ol sulphur, commonly called flour of brimstone, mixed with a pound of turnip seed, will effectually prevent the fly from destroying the crop. This preventive is extremely cheap, the cost not exceeding 2d. per acre. In mixing, employ a little rape oil, whicb will cause the sulpher-to adhere to the seed ; but care should be taken not to use too much oil, as that would prevent the seed from passing through the drill-Comber land Pacilet.

T HIS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sarsa pa-illa which grows in the Southern States and nothing else. It has the natural Sarsaparilla taste. Its effect upon the system in all oases 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 par 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 troduced into Edgefleld District, either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsapar-lla. This Sarsaparilla is not to be sold -on commia Sen. Price, per bottle, $1-Six bottles 85.
