" The Southkern Cultivator."-Tl iis ex cellent monthly for January has been re ceived, and is, if possible, more entertaining and interesting than ever. Tjhe article from Dr. BACanasN, on Fish Ponds, is itself worth more than tho cost of the subscrip tion. Let all who have not yet subscribed do so immediately. Edited by Dr. LEE &3 D. R EDXOND, Augusta, Ga. "7The Soil of the South,". another paper that should receive the support of all lovers of Southern soil, has been received, and as usual is well manured, plowed and watered, and we wish it a good crop of subscribers, and thd subscribers a good crop *of agricul tural ideas. "The Farmer 4' Planter-," and also" The Carolina Cultivator," most excellent papers, havegnde their anixiously expected appear. ance among other valuable exchanges, .and we greet& them with a cordial welcome. UNCLE SAMTS CRIB. WE peeped into the Corn Crib of a near neighbor to our sanctum a few weeks since, to see what our home folks were doing in agriculture, and accordingly report: Mr. SAMUEL, Buooas baa, the best speci men of good, sound and large ears of corn we have seen this season. From four acres he gathered a little over two hundred bush els of corn worth one dollar per bushel. On a smaller lot he raised corn at the rate of eighty busbels per acre-and he is a sub. scriber to our paper, and takes another ag ricultural paper and a horticultural paper besides. So much for science and home made manure,-for he made all his manure at home. But stop!. He plowed his land deep with the Iron Plow Stock drawn by two horses, as deep into the clay as he could.. It is encouraging to us to see our editori al labors crowned with such golden shocks of corn as these at home ; so much so that we will run our Iron Stocks a little deeper still this year, and make all the manuro we can of printer's ink and paper. OUR TEXAS CORRESPONDENT. TnEi following letter was received in De cember last, together with a small quantity of improved Prolific Corn, which, in honor of the giver, we have called the " Hardy Pr oh !c." Weare under many obligations to this " NATIVE oP EDGEFIELD" for the specimen of his corn, and will endeavor to raise a quantity of it for distribution among our brother farmers. We will also promise him some of the notable Oregon Pea; and we hope others will follow the good exam ple hero set of sharing the benefit of every impjrovement with our brotherhood.. WALKER COUNTY, Tex., Nov. '55 Messrs. Editors : Seeing a notice of some prolific corn in your valuable paper of the 31st October, and noticing the oh jections raised iagainst it for its floury qualities, I thought I could quite supply the (Iesired defects, and accordingly have sent ,enle aw evrains of mxy Texas im proved Corn, *hich you will please accept with my kindest respects to all connected with the old Adrertiser. The seed I send you were taken from four dif'erent ears, which were pulled from stalks bearing from three to six ears to the stalk. I have seen from eight to ten ears on a stalk. One of the ears I have just counted had 912 giains. The ears will not average with thisobne, though. they are all of medium size. Thie specimen sent you grew in my farm, where 1 averaged 60 bbsh els per acre. The land was black upland prairie soil. This corn will supply every de fect complained of in the specimen sent by " FARMER." His the weavils eat before it ripens; this is good proof against- them. It is the best we .have here. . I wish you to procure me a few seed-of the celebrated Oregon Pea I see spoken so highly of in your journal. We need Bomething to shade our black lands from the sun, and I think that will do it. A NATVE, OF EDGEFIELD. For the Advertiser. OREGON PEA AGAIN, Messrs. Editors :-With many in this utilitarian age, all new things are dubbed 1Humbug," unless money can be made by them. A new thing and a fortune have been so long associated together in thought, that we might as well drop the conjunction and article, and write in future: Newthing trmbug, so that we would then have a spe. Dific term for money making innovations. The man who expects the Oregon Pea talk to bear dollars will be disappointed; but if he will locate his expectations low down, some where about the latitude of Pea-ability he will escape the mad' house certainly. We say nothing of it as a fer tilizer, for we are without observation; but for pasture and forage we can speak more confidently. First, for Hogs, the Pea stands erect, and falls down only on good soil. Turn in your hogs when the. young peas begin. to fill. The hogs will bite off the young peas and thrive, doing but little in jury to the stalk which is just as valuable as ever for making coarse forage. Second, on the first appearance of the golden yellow, chop down with a hoe-and cure for two days; then put away for use. Horses and cows eat them with zest. The stock gene rally refuse the large stalks, but a little tramping causes the stalks to split up into numerous fibres, tough and spongy, forming a splendid base for compost, better we think than pine straw -or oak leaves. So that for hogs, horses and cattle, and for ma king compost, we know of no other plant equal to it, or at least none than can be so cheaply turned to as many uses. Third, as to the Pea, we incline to the opinion that to grow and gather any, more of them than for seed will be found a small pea business. JOHN. ALLENDALE, Barnwell Dist., S. C. WORK F01R JIAY. With the returning ne w year, it is appro priate that we form new purposes and enter upon new plans of operation. Thu experi ence of the past is full of lessons of instruc tion, admonishing us of errors, which though it may now be too late to cure, yet in the future may be corrected or avoided. Few things have been so well done, as not to leave the hope of improv-ement, and it is in the recollection of the events of the past, that we bring to our aid the benefits of ex perience. This is an appropriate time for such retrospection. In the operations of the farm, it so hap pens in Southern Agriculture, that most of~ the plans for a new crop beg with the new year. Christmas is a sort~of winding up of the business of the past, and after the respite of a wveek's holiday, the first of Jan ary brings us to a starting point for ano ther year, from which we look out anid comn mnce planning arnd arranging for another crop. This is not only an interesting epoch, but very much depends upon the correctness of the plans now made, and upon the fideli ty of their execution. Each period has' its work appropiriate to the season, and what is not well done, and in its proper time, usually goes undone, or is so poorly done as to en tail its consequences upgnm all the after opera tions of the year, it is emphatically true of planting, thiat each season has its duties and its burthens ; and it is never safe to put off for to-morrow that which ought to be done to day. In fixing upon the work of this month, there is a great deal, to be started now, which only is to end with the crop ma king. in this class we may pot down PLOwING. With all possible speed let the plows now move off, that all stubble or fallow lands may be broken so as to get the full benefit of the winter freezes. Lands wvhich are close or stiff, and inclined to break coarse or in clods, should be prepared early, that they may also he pulverized by the rains and the frosts. When vegetable matter or coarse manures are to be incorporated, a turning plow drawn by one or twvo mules rhould be used ; and if the sub-soil is clay, break as deep as the strength of the team will enable you to do. In such lands, the most effectual operation would be made, by using a sub-soil plow ; running one furrow in the bottom of that made by the turning plowv. We think this plan greatly preferable to the one opera tion of the turning plow, even if it wvas practicable to reach the same depth, without the aid of the sub-soil plow. Our winters are not long enough, nor are the freezes in our climate .severe enough to disintegrate and pulverize well, so much turf and clay as may be throwvn up by a large twvo horse plow. Whatever may be done in the way of plowing now upon one plan or another, e sure that it is wvell done, recollecting that depth -and closeness are indispetnsable to good work. - SOWING OATs. Those who have not sowved their oats in the fall, need wait no longer. Spring oats may be put in any time from now, until March, but thme sooner the better. Put plen ty of seed on the ground, and plow well, and vith good seasons, a good, return may be expected. . The spring and oarly part of the summer are so often dry, a~s to make the fall sowing of oats altogether the most reliable cr01), and as a general rule, it wvould be best that we should avail ourselves of an advantage so manifest. FENCING. These safeguards and ornaments to the Fr~mm ought to claim a full share of attention ust now. If not attendled to at once, other 4ressing duties may forco a compromise by~ hich a little patching up many do for the ,resent, and( thorough repairs h.e put off to a nore conv'enient season. This will he an ......:s. cncaluion if' oa rstradl 1ull iowi I to the foundation, clean out the old row, lay a nice worm, put in plenty of new rails, and build up a good high fence, and then you have the guarantee of peace and security-for years to come. Let .the gates have new posts and latches, and be well hung, and if your conscience is as well protected as the farm, you may expect to sleip soundly and sweetly. DITCHING. The importance of draining -and drying our lands is but little understood, and but poorly appreciated in our country, and but few of us do well, even that, which our con victions demand. Something in this way needs to be done on almost every farm, and we suggest it now, not because the season is peculiarly appropriate, but because there is thought to be leisure, before the be. ginning of the crop, to attend to such jobs. We feel well assured, that its importance is such, as to give it prominent place in our plantation arrangements, until all excesses of water appearing upon the surface, or ly. ing beneath it, should he removed. We do not propose discussing the merits of this work, or directing how its operations are to be performed now, idt merely to call atten. tion to it, as one of the things that ought to be done, and giving assurance or full com pensation, for all labor or expenditure, judi. :iously made, in its accomplishment. We hope our friends have a large amount f well rotted manure, prepared to send out, as a compensation to mother earth, for her bountiful return for our labors in the past year. Verily, we are her debtor, and I hope we are prepared to make a liberal payment. We do not -like the appellation of robber, and though our drafts upon the soil may be Blow, and conducted with so much stealth, as to ev'ade the accusation, yet posterity will sustain .the count, and mothei earth yield up her supplies with a less liberal hand, if we do not mend our ways. Let the carts and wagons get to work, that all your ma. nure may be on the ground in good time, and oon after its delivery, let it be deposited in the hill, or drill or broad cast, and be cover ed up, that nothing be lost by evaporation. Sarape close; you need not leave any for seed another year. but as soon as the lots and stalls are cleaned, provide fresh and ample supplies of material for making more. REPAIRING HOUSES. Your houses ought all to have bad tight roofs, and well stopped cracks, before the winter, came on; if however the cotton picking has induced a postponement, do not defer any longer, lest the doctor should charge you more for curing pneumonias and pleurisies, than the cotton comes.to. Apart from the claims of humanity, it is good economy to have plenty of good negro hou ses, well elevated above the ground, and with good pitch to the body, with good chimneys, tight roofs and warm rooms for winter, and well ventilated in summer. Soil of the South. WINTERING SHEEP.-The Maine Farmer tells howv to wvinter one hundred head of sheep on two acres of land. But I have done better than that.~ This is the way I do it, and not on rich, highly-manured land: I take for the purpose nothing more than a common wvheat soil; if rich, the growth is apt to be too large. I plow it deeply, barrowv it wvell, and about the 20th of Juno sow two and a half bushels of corn. I use the large variety ; plowv in with shovel plow, or cultivator, and if weeds try to grow among it, they will get heartily tired of such a sickly life, and try to grow among something else the next time ; leave standing until the leaves get seared, and the crop loses some of its weight; then cradle down when dry, and put in loose shocks ; tie at the top with rye straw, and leave standing until wanted for feett; it may be fed cut short, or as it is on clean ground.. In this way L have wtintered one hundred head of sheep without grain, and in good order, on an acre and a half of land. I have not had a better clip of wool, nor lost fewer sheep, nor raised a better crop of lambs, for five years, than I have done tbis spring. FoUNDER IN Hlonsns.-Pull tho animal's tongue out as far as possible and throw a table spoonful of pulverized allum down his throat. In six hours, no matter how bad the founder, he will be fit for moderate ser vice. DRYING PUMPKINs, &EC.-Cut them up and stewv themn till they are soft and dry ; pound nnd strain them through a cullender; then grease pie pans, and spread it on a quarter of an inch thick and dry it; roll it up, and put it away in a tight box or bag, from the insects. Each one of these rolls will make a pie. It is very easy now to make a pie. Put it in swveet milk, and let it soak about two hours; put in ao egg, a tablespoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of gin. ger, and one of allspice; and if you are lovers of pumpkin pie, as we are, you will pronounce it good.-Ohio Farmer.
