MESSRS. COLTER r SCOOTER, Editors. " Let idle Ambition her baubles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with diadain, The home of the farmer has charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." FEWER ACRES AND BETTER CULTIVATION. THAT the farmer can realize more from fewer.acres more thoroughly cultivated, is a truth to which every sensible man will rea dily Consent, and yet, strange to say, not one in a thousand Southern farmers, will reduce the theory to practice. In urging this fact upon the attention of our farmers you will seldom, if ever, meet with one who will not assent to every asser tion of its superior advantages; but you will also hear the old fogy reply, that unless you plant.largely in the spring, you will have but little to gather in the fall. It seems to us that we are so afraid of starvation, that we can not trust so much to the result of labor as to the yield of extensive fields not half cultivated. It is hard to make one who is accustomed to planting more than lie can tend, believe that one acre with double the manure and double the cultivation will yield more than two acres with half the manure and tillage. He may give his assent to the theory; but his belief is a dead faith, which will never be shown by his works. It has been said by an eminent writer up on this subject, " that although millions of Hebrews inhabited the narrow and rocky land of Judea, and though restricted by the Agrarian law of Moses, under which, as the population increased, the inalienable patri mony of each family became smaller and smaller, yet they made more and more." Why was this? Because the cultivation was of course better and better. But let us come nearer home. In the populous North, we are told that fifty acres constitute a very extensive farm, and that few can boast of so wide a domain.. We are also told that land is not valued there as in the South. Here, the older the land, the less valuable it is ra ted. There it is the reverse ; the longer a field (or we should say an acre) has been cultivated, the more it produces; and conse quently,. the more valuable it becomes. But let us come still nearer home. Look at your vegitab~le garden. (We here presume that every good farmer has a good vegitable gardeni. We wonder if weo are correct in our suppjosition ?) How much does an one acre garden yield when propierly cultiva ted and manured ? It would surprise any one to know how much it can be made to produce under a system of thorough, scien tific culture. -it ordinarily takes a farmer's family a whlole year to gather and consume what is produced upon the half. acre gardens, whiebi are too often neglected, and more sel dom appreciated by these rampant universal seed-seaitterers. In view" of these facts, let us examine some of the advantages of planting fewer acres and bestowing upnn them a more thorough cultivation. Nut a few of our far mers plar.t ten acres in corn, ten in cotton and ten in small-grain, to the hand. This is folly. With such a crop he has no time to repair his fences, attend properly to his cat tIe and hogs, make manure, cut ditches, or do many other things necessary on a planta tion, which in the end would be worth as mouch to him as his whole crop. And how is such a crop cultivated ? Scratched a lit tle in dry weather, plastered in wet weather, mangled and torn, and probably throughout the whole year the growing crop does not receive one good working at the proper sea son. When gathering time comes, it is a scanty yield barely sutlicient for the support of the hands and stock employed. Mules to buy, bacon to buy, negro clothes to buy, shoes to buy and away go the proceeds of the cotton crop, and the farmer is left with his hands in his pockets, without a " conti nental red." Now suppose- he had only planted eight acres in corn, four in cotton and ten in small grain. H-ow easy to prepare for such a crop in the first place, by thoroughly breaking the subsoil and pulverizing nicely the top by a cross plowing. How easily cultivated would such a crop be, by giving it just the work it needed, exactly at the proper season. He would then have time to harvest his small grain, to raise his mules and hogs, to repair fences, to build sheds for his cattle (which is equal to half feed) and to make more manure than he could haul out. We noiv venture the assertion that the! latter method would realize as great a yield per hand as the former. We wvould have no bacon to buy and need not buy mules. Our' far ms would be increased in value. Our stock would be. in finer condition. Our negroes would lie more valuable in consequence of not being worked so hard . We need pursue the subject no farther, our farmers have each and all set their pegs for themselves, and all Russia and the Allies combined cant pull them up. G m. o.-D. Jay Browne, Esq., of the Pa tent Otlice, submitted a paper oni the subject' of guano at the recent session of theU.. A gricultural Society in Washington, in which allusion is: made to the alledged new discove ries in the Pacific, with reference to which the " American Guano Company" wvas re ce'ntly organized. The quantity of this fer tilizer imported durinig the year, covered by -the last annual census returns, exceeded 200, 000 tons, and was sold for not far from $60 per ton. In view of the possibility of a m~atei-ial reduction in this price, ams a result of the new discoveries, Mr. Browne remarks tat the return of the expedition sent to the Islands by the government, and which ha no doubt already set forth, " will be looke for with no little anxiety by all interested i agriculture," and- adds: "Should the expectations of this compan, as to the quantity and quality of this guan deposit be realized, they propose to sell it t the American farmer at the rate of from $3 to $40 per ton, or at about two-thirds of th present price of Peruvian guano. " With such a reduction in the cost of al article of prime necessity to the cultivator of the soil, we may naturally look for a vas increase in the production of grain and ii the general melioration of the economy o farming." OVERSEEING. MESSRs. EuITous.-I f you think the foi lowing views on the subject of -Overseeing worthy of publication in your columns, the; are at your service. Whoever undertakes anothers busines! makes it his own, that is proposes to emplo upon it, the same care, attention and dill gence, that he would were it actually hi -own: all of which is expected by his em ployer. The agent then is not at liberty t ride and gad about the neighborhood, whib there remains a possibility of benefiting hi employer. If then, he directs all his ene gies to the cares and business of his employ er as suggested by his- best judgment an study, which should be given to them wer 'they his own, he will have discharged hi duty, while we think that it would be advan tageous to overseers to obtain situations wit practical and scientific. farmers as employeri we would also think, that employers shoul< select middle-aged men of experierived juda ment, with as much science as can be con manded and then give good wages. Thel the calling of overseers would not be consid ered as low, but on the contrary as honora ble; for good wages will ever command th intelligence and skill of our best men in th field of Agriculture. As reguards the management of negroei if the Overseer does his duty, he will ne need the assistance of bull dogs, pistols c dirk knives, to render them entirely sul missive to all reasonable regulations, whe he shows himself by his general bearing t be worthy of their confidence and respec We do not believe that the hard driving an all fuss and hurly-burly system will pay. I is killing the goose to get the egg. It ma be said that we cannot do this and mak cotton but I know we can do right, an make by the operation. For fear of trespassing on your patienc we close these remarks of one, who is n<c ashamed of his calling of Overseer, wvhic has been successful heretofore, and will eVe cheer him amidst his duties in the FIELD. felCLOIElR AT THlE S0fTHI. W felvery much inclined to keep thi subject before our readers. That it wvi flourish any where, and on all kinds of soi without much artificial aid, wve shall not al tempt to insist. liut that we have mtucha soi and many places in which it will do wel we cannot doubt, and wve are quite as sure that with a little help it might be introduce very extensively, and with how much benm fit we can hardly attempt to estimate. Il value for hogs and other stock, when it wa made to succeed, would be a very ampi compensation for all that it wvould cost. Bu the largest bienefit, we imagine; wvould be t the land. With such constant culture wit the plow and hoe, as our crops demand,i the cotton country, our lands must wear ou and that very rapidly. Now, if we can fin some friendly agent, which could build u and restore our exhausted fields for us, whil we were exhausting and wearing out anothe portion with our cotton crop4, we should fei that our case had been exactly met. All thi could not perhaps be promised b~y the cloven crop; but nothing else, we suppose, coal conmc so near to it, and with its aid, and sue additional help as good managers might pre vide, we might expect to see our lands gros no worse, and hope for improvement. Whil at the State Fair at IMontgomery, it was ou privliege to have a long conversation wit| Col. Croome, whose experience on his farri in Green county, Ala., has not been a ver; short one in the use and cultivation of th< Red Clover. lie reports his success as ai form and complete. His experience is, tha efore the introduction of Clover on li farm, lhe w~as a meat buyer, but that now hi has one hundred pounds of pork to the hand for sale, after ample supplies for the negroe on the farm, and that it costs him so little that lie scarcely knows where it comes from and besides this, he has corn for sale, an< makes very full cotton crops. It is demon strations like these, that make us urge it: claims and insist on a fair trial. We learn moreover, that after the land has been in co ver a few years, that its productions are in creased to an almost incredible extent. W, do not ask that any body shall hurt thenm selves by the trial, but we do insist that it i worth the effort to make a small experiment so that he who fails shall not suffer muel loss, while he that succeeds shall have dis covered a great prize. The first of Feb ruar; is a good time for sowing. Black lime land; are the best. The plowing for preparatio: should be very deep, and the pulverizatio! very complete, and the seed should be pa in very light, with a brush or light harrow~ CATNPS. Milr. Editor : Trhis valuable little herb i too much overlooked by farmers. Everj one who plants a foot of ground shouhi cherish it; were it more generally used deaths wvould be less frequent, and sickness maclh mitigated. The cat perhaps owes iti longevity or plurality of lives to this plant Every body knows how fond that animal i or it; no doubt the name thus originated Catnip is readily propagated from the seet and thrives in almost any soil. Early in the summer the leaves should be dried and kep for winter use. In Colds, Pneumonias, ami flammatory fevers, it is invaluable. Doc tors may laugh and call us "granny" bu this will not deter as from warmly recomn mending the universal use of this excellen herb. In diseases generally, especially oul winter diseases, we know that the pores o the skin are closed :get an action on the surface anid the disease generally is soor mastered. Catnip is a pon-erful sudorific Give a little cailomnel, and catniip tea profuse ly, and never allowv the approach of the Ian cet, and nine cases otit of ten of that terri ble disease, pneumoniia, will be cared.I am iiot writing theoretically or riding a hob by horse. I can speak of its salutary anm life restoring qualities from having repeatedly tried it on myself and from personally admin. iearing it to oters. It works like a charm The tea is made after the fashion of Iyson I or other teas, either from the green or dried i herb. Farmers try it; give it a fair trial. Soil of the South. THE FARKER'S MUGHTER. . At the mention of one of these rural god. ) desses how many good things of which they D are mistresses pop into our heads ? We involuntarily think of butter rich and nice, a chickens fat and nicely dressed with a dish s of gravy close by, nice boiled hams, cab L bages, pickels, strawberries jellies, citron, i &., besides a host of fat pigs and turkeys for f extra occasions. There is always something refreshing to a man, in the idea of a country life, especially to one whose early dayr were spent on a farm, and ho can fully appreciate what we mean, when we say, that for real enjoyment, solid happiness and domestic felicity, the country life surpasses the city a thousand fold. In the city, formality, that dull stupid round of nonsensical, fashionable duties, must Y be observed ; the hours for visiting are adopt. ed, the time for social enjoyment is allotted s and the amusements for the evening or morn-, ing, in many instances, are prescribed. These laws must be obeyed or the offender is con 9 sidered a "green'un" by the fashionables, t and perhaps justly so, and the consequence s is, a smart bit of gossip gets afloat, the bur. den of which, is, to the effect that " such an one called at such an unusual hour, staid at such a place until such a late hour, introduced such or such an unknown topic or amuse Snient and by his unheard of rudeness gross a ly insulted the daughter of such a Mr. B., or . Lawyer C., or Dr. D.-Against the obser. vance of such formalities in a city or' town we urge no objection, nor do we murmur, ' that he who violates etiquette in the smallest p particular, should be properly censured ; but the point we had in view when commencing this article was to draw a comparison be. tween the advantages which a farmer's daughter and a city lady have for social and intellectual injoyment. We have often heard farmers, in their e great zeal for the enjoyment of theirs. say, " well, it is so dull, so monotones in se country, I'm almost determined to break up, sell my farm and move to town, that ry Is daughters may have the advantage of better t society." r What an error! Vhat an insult to the . integrity, the industry and chastity of those n living in the country ! " Better society !" Where could there be found better society 0 than that which has raised up moral and t. i religious people I True, the town might open d a wider field of acquaintance, might afford the " daughters" a wider sphere for making suitable conquests, yet at the same time it I would expose them to a thousand unthought e of rices, (if the term may be applied here) d: temptations and inconveniences. A new mode of life must be adopted ; old and agree. e able habits must be restrained, new habits e formed, formalities adopted, expenditures in. icurred, and a thousand little pleasures for. h saken they once enjoyed. r A farmer's daughter is, and has a right to be, the happiest living. Free from those con ventionali ties that prove so burdensome where enforced and observed, their neat little chamber is a palace, their home a kingdom, and the society of friends and relations around them an empire of loving, sympathi sing hearts. Every day has its novelties, ~every hour its swveets. She is subject to no studied expenditures to make a show for a Istreet parade at 4 o,clock every afternoon, nor to captivate the worthless, vaunting beaux that call at half-past eight at night ; but dressed as becometh the sphere in which she is ready at a moment's warning to enter stain her guests, in the parlor, churn the sbutter, make *a bed or discuss politics or religion as the case may require. If she has been properly raised sihe will tnot be at a loss iin doitng either of these things, and when nthe hour for dinner arrives she modestly nbegs leave of absence, only for a minute, dand before you are aware of the departure of even that minure, shte returns, and wvith a "smile that tells you for her guest, site invites eyou to dinner. rAnd then what delicacies! what fruits! what meats, and suchm puddings, jellies and ssauces! You would immagine, if you kanew no better, that these were the very best fix ings from some French cookery -WINTER BUTTER.-T'o prepare butter for v winter, take two quarts of best salt; one e ounce best sugar; and one ounce of saltpe r tre-mix thtem well, and use one ounce of thme composition for each pound of butter. r The buttermilk should he entirely pressed y out before saltinag; other wise, the salt will a escape wvith the milk. -| For immtediate use, salpetre should not be t used; as its coldness can be perceived for s some timte afterward.

No woman of delicacy is willing to disclose The peculiar ailments incident to her sex, even to a most nltimate family IPhan odesty and delicacy is implanted by nature, and neither should nor need be subjected to the rude shooks in evitable in making known to the other sex those aihmena.be longing exclusively to the female. - Exceptin extreme cases, her sensitiveness will sacrifie -her h rather than her delicacy. r The consequences are serious, lamentable, and life-long. Thus what at first could have been easily renedled, or perhaps better still, not incurred, becomes a complication of disease, not only ruining the health of the mother, and em e bittering her days by sickness and suffering, but entailing broken constitutions upon her children, and embarrassing, if not distressing, the business and pecuniary prospects of the e husband. Let every sensible woman TJgKR .RAIUW IN' T I*VR, (as thousands have done) by the bitter experience and suffer ings of others, of the dreadful consequences she entails upon 0 herself and those endeared to her, by her ignorance of te simplest and plainest rules of health as connected with the d marria e state, the violation of which entails disease, suffer. tonw many are anffering from obstruction or irregularities , peculiar to the female system which undermine the health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and for which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice I How many suffer fromp eut teri (failing of the womb,) or from fluor albue(=wea ness, debility, &c.)! How many are In constant agony for many months precedingeonfinementI How many . have difficult, If not dangerous deliveries, and slow and un A certainrecoveries! dTo the question, how are these to be prevented? what Y shalt be done ? the answer is simple. F Let every woman ascertain for herself, without vlienee to her delicacy,the nature and characterof the ailment(to which rshe us a fetnale is ubjet)the eauses fromn which it ayarise, - and the proper remnedies for its cure and future prevention. Thi she can do b~y possessing a litte voilume (already possessed b~y tthousattds) which tells her what is the matter, eC anaditls her what to do for i, in simple but chaste words, ill and such as she can understand.
