MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. "Let idle Ambition her baobles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with disdain, The home of tie farmer has charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." PITCHING TIE CROP. IT is not too late yet! Let not the pres nt price of cotton, the signs of Eastern eace, or Western war, so betray the far ner as to induce him to plant his best and argest fields in Cotton instead of Corn. read-stuff is allways in demand. The whole-hog is generally consumed and a " few more left of the same sort" to sell to the neighbors are not to be had at any price. Last, not least. The more cow-food we save, in good order, the coming season, the fewer murrain hides will be founpd the suc ceeding February and March stretched on our cattle houses if-and a long if it is too -if-if-we hae any such houses. -*0' THAT SIIANG.1.AI EGG. Wz Treturn our thanks to our old friend Dx. DINKLEY for an extra size or doub.e distillcd Shanghai egg of the following pedi gree:. It was out of t' FANsY" a celebrated layer, setter and nurser, from the poultry yard of Uncle Jerry, and by one rouser rooster of the blue herron breed of Shanghais, from the celebrated poultry yards of Crooked Run. If our old Turkey Hen, with her usual maintaining power, can patiently prolong her. sittings ever to hatch it, we hereby in vite the Doctor to a Christmas capon dinner next December. A GOOD EDITOR. The London Post says: " A good editor, a competent newspaper conductor, is, like a general or a poet, born -not made. A good editor seldom writes for his paper-he reads, judges, selects, dic tates, directs, alters and combines, and to do all this well, lie has but little time for composition. Tio wirite for a paper is one thing, to edit a paper another." Just at this juncture, we find it quite con venient to endorse these sentiments. 1Be sides, the Epace allotted to our department is so small w"e have not much room, in fact, to appropriate to ourselves, and much prefer to draw out our contributors, and to allow them to occupy our columns, on the prin ci ple of Sfarmers teach one another." We congratulate our patrons that some noble spirits are still left among our farmers, who are willing to learn something more thani they now know, and who are also wil ling to communicate their hard-earned ex perience to others. We hope that because some may not be able to write about their large crops and wonderful tales of large, successful plantations, they will not sup pose that their small matters of the farm or garden will be the less interesting. We believe that the unsuccessful experi ments should always be reported as wiell to ascertain the cause of failure, as to guard other against useless labor, expense and time. 00TNSEED OIL. The proprietors of one linseed oil mills have commenced the manufacture of oil from cotton seed, and about four hundred bags of ~the seed arrived here this week from Mem phis, to be used for this purpose. Trhe oil is used for burning. How far the parties will succeed in their enterprise, remains to be <demonstrated. We believe the manufacture of oil from cotton seed has been ckrried on in the South to a greater or lesser entent, for several years ; at Natchez we believe, one of these miils has been in operation for some ten years, but, so far, the oil has not come into general use. Tlhe difficulty seems to be in clarifying, as it will not burn in a crude state. Should our enterprising citizens suc ceed ini preparing the oil for use, it wvill prove a most important article of commerce. -Cincinnati Price Current.I The Wakulla 'Times of the 30th alt. says: " Perhaps there is now more cotton seed oil, used for table and other purposes than even consumers themselves are aware of, to say nothing of the soap, which is of a supe. rior quality, made from the refuse of the oil after clarifyinag. On this subject, a friend, whose statements may be relied on, wvrites us: " I notice in a Western paper, that a con cern in Cin'einnati, has commenced the ran ufacture of oil from cotton seed. I will mention a few facts, whic~i may be of use to somebody. There is a prejudice against cotton seed oil, but it is owing mainly to the fact that the seed having been extensively used for that purpose without bulling--the hull imparting to the oil a bitter taste, and a gummy substance, which injured it for dry ing, and causes a smoke when burning. Notwithstanding this, quantities of this oil have been mixed with linseed and lard oils, and the buyers have been none the wiser for it. Some three years since a friend of mine commenced the manufacture of oil from cot ton seed. The seeds were first perfectly hulled, so that nothing but the meat of the seed was used. " After the oil was extracted, it went through a clarifying process, (a simple one, but very perfect,) leaving it as clear and as pure as the best olive. For burning it has no superior, as it gives a clear brilliant light, without smocke, and for the table it can scarcely be surpassed, for it haR deceived. and is still deceiving many good judges of the article.-Ideed, my friend assured mel that he was unablo to fill all the orders fori oil put up for the table-hut he added: We dare not call it Cotton Seed Oil, lest it might prejudice the sale. " We of the cotton growing States can safely feel ourselves perfectly independent of tho world for oil for all purposes." CArraIN CAMPBE LL, residing in Kovle Tfennessee, produced'list summer, from one hundred and fifty vines of the Cahawba grape, twelve barrels of wine, equalling about four hundred gallons. Thr-ee or four gentlemen around Knoxville have commen ced the culivation of the vine in good earnest. From the Southern Agriculturalist, 1S34. " TlE EARTH IS WEARING OUT." How often are agricultural improvers told hat mother earth is in her decline I " The arth is wearing out," says Farmer Stand till, " there is no use of improving the soil -it will soon all be gone." Gone -where ? We ask you again, reflecting reader, if you re a believer in this cant ? Some hills are are, and naked, and desolate in their sterili. tv. Other vallies are impoverished, and re ruse to put on nature's grcen livery, with which richer spots so exuberantly array themselves. Trees and herbage have disap peared, but still the earth is young-young in the measure of years-young in her ca pacity for increased production on every acre of her wide domain. Every atom which the Creator cast from his plastic hands t the dawn of time, still has its visible exis ence somewhere on this globe, and is doing ts part of the re-production which nature is o constantly employed in. Nothing is wasted in Nature's laboratory. The dead eaves from the trees-the withered grass of he fields, all go to make up for those drains which vegetation calls forth from the earth. What if the mould of our new lands is washed down the brooks and rivers, into the Deans which encircle continents? The sea, u return, gives back its rich treasures to the land which has been robbed, and though it :omes from the islands of the far South, it evertheless contains all the elements which are requisite to restore the fields which have been exhausted by tillage. There is an in. scrutable wisdom in Providence which is be yond mortal ken. Wherever nature has a want, there will be an agent of supply ready it hand. Whenever it becomes the practice >f rural minds to apply the intellectual force with which they are gifted, to devising the proper remedies for natural defects of soil, >r wasted fertility-then may we expect to see the earth bloom like a bride amongst youth, and we will he.ir no more the unwel come voice which bids her sons despair, as they stand in the furrows of life. Yes -the earth is still young-Glad and joyous in coming years will be the march of time along her teeming vallies. Fields of golden grain and snowy fleece, from her Increased pro duction, will cause the countless millions yet to enter life, to bless those who have not stood idle upon the sod. Let us be up and oing. The bog, the marsh, and the fen, ending forth the arrows of pestilence and death, can all be made to smile with health and beauty. We must each do our part in the work of local preservation. It is a man date written by Deity amongst the laws of nature, and he who disobeys, instead of plen teous harvests, reaps only disappointment and vexation of spirit. H ULLInG W1nAT.-The inventor of a new machine for hulling wheat, sends us a sample fron Cleveland, Ohio, that has the appear ance of having been divested entirely of the skin which covers the berry; the bran is made without breaking the grain. He says that " Five bushels of wheat hulled and ground without boltiing, will make more good, sweet bread, than six bushels as now prepared. This process conmes in between extremes. The Graham system is analogous to eating onions without peceling, and the bolting pro. ess is like skiniiing a chicken. According to comparisons on a small scale, hulled wheat meal makes twenty to thirty per cent. more bread than bolted flour. By this process all of the nutritious portion of the wheat is used for bread." Hulled wheat, cooked in the same way we cook hulled corn, makes an- excellent, nutritious dish. Ry-e bread made of meal of hulled grain, is much better than b~olted rye flour bread. The same may be satid of buck wheat. The only difficulty in the way or hulling grain heretofore, has been the expense. We hope to see a cheap, simple machine that can be used upon every farm. There would then be no difficulty about getting breadstuffs in a dry time for milling.-N. Y'. Tribune. TuE " CIiinxsE YA31," or "Jyaponiica Po tato," (Dioscorea batalas,) bids fair to supers, sede the common potato as a table vegeta ble. ft has, for a great number of years, formed the chief food 'of the Chinese and Japanese, and must, therefore, be worthy of some consideration. It has been but lately introduced into Europe, and still more re ently into this country; hut wvherev-er its propagation has been tried1 the result has been most successful. They resemble sonie what the sweet potato, but are much longer -growing offen fromt twenty to thirty-six inches in length. They grow perpendicu larly in the ground-are largest at the bot ton, about two inches in diameter, and taper toards the top of the root toone half inch in diameter. They weigh from a half to three and five pounds. 'l he skin is a kind of fawn color, rather more brown than the sweet potato. T1he vines, like the sweet po tato, spread over the ground for several ards. The flesh is white, has an exceed ingly fine flavor, and, moreover, is so dry and mealy that it can be converted into flour and baked into bread, in appearance almost as white as wvheat bread. Roots have beeni proutced weighing from two to two andl a half pounds, from tubers planted in April, and dug in October of the same year. A writer in the Newv York Tribune says: " One great poinit of superiority possessed by it is, that it may remain in the ground two or three years, always enlarging in size, and equally nutritious and excellent in flavor. Experiments have proven that when the roots are left for eighteen months in the ground, the yield is moure than treble that of roots left but for one summer; and it isalso considered that the roots are improved in quality." * * **" It possesses another great advantage; the roots, when left in a cellar, remain firm and perfect, as well as free from sprouts, and they can be kept out of the ground a year without injury or date rioration of their alimentary qualities. This property renders them invaluable for use in long sea voyages, and especially as a preven tive of scurvy. " All things considered, this yam promises to be a most valuable acquisition to our gar den vegetables. The mode of culture is easy-any one who understands growving the sweet potato can grow thme yam; its cul ture is about the same. After the ground is well prepared and tubers planted, keeping the wveeds dowvn is about all that is required. Earthing tip,' as we. do with tho common potato, is entirely unnecessary." TO MAKE (;fLossY Sdiiitr Bosoits.-Those ladies who wish to see thieir " lords" wearing nice, glossy shirt bosoms, will do wvell to ob serve the following receipt: "Take twvo ounces white gum arabic, powder it in a pitcher, and pour on it a pint or more water, according to the degree of strength you de sire, andt then, having covered it, let it set all night. In the morning fitter it carefully from dregs into a clean bottle, cork it and keep for use. A tablo-spoonful of gum water stirred into a pint of starch made the usual way, will give to either white or printed shirts a look of newness that nothing else can re A KxowiNo HORs.-" E. M.," of Bel. chertown, writes to the Amherst Express about a very intelligent horse, of which he is the owner. The following incident, among others, illustrates the matter : " One day last week he was driven a few miles out of town, and on his return, some. time in the afternoon, wias fed with meal and cut-feed as usual, but for his supper lie had nothing hut dry hay, which did not agree very well with his sense of right after travel ling twenty miles with a load, throug snow.drifts. However, he kept his thoughts to himself till we were all out of the way for the night; then, sundering his rope in someway, he passed through the cow-stable, crossed the barn floor and the carriage-roomn to the granara, at the further end of the barn, some forty feet, where he had often seen us get the umeal for hin ; lie there found twa bags of meal, standing by the bin, tied ui tight, but the top one being two heavy for his purpose, he threw it aside, and after ex anining the other bag, which weighed be. tween fifty and sixty pounds, lie took it in his teeth, and carried it about twenty feet, to a clean spot on the barn floor. Finding it difficult to untie it, lie cut a hole in the side and shook out about a peck of meal, and ate what he wished ; and seeing the co% (the only companion he has these long win ter nights) looking with a longing eye at hi: pile of meal, he took up the 1ag again, and carried it about ten leet further to her man ger, and shook out some more meal for her They were found in the morning together.' PRODVCT OF NoRTH CARoLINA.-The popular idea that North Carolina produce nothing but " tar, pitch and turpentine," ih fast being dispelled by the railroads witli which the energy of her citizens are cover. ing her territory. Last year the county o Hyde exported corn and wheat the amount of $360,000; and the county of Edgecomh raised and sold $400,000 worth of cotton The exports from' Washington, N. C., foI last year amounted to $1,020,613 of whict $37,045 was to foreign countries. Sinci the opening of' the Central railroad tc Greenaborough, there have been 639 barrel of flour sent from that town, of which 39( went to Norfolk; 15,000 barrels of dried fruit were among the first receipts in \ orfoll which resulted from the opening of the Cen, tral railroad. FOR AN EXCELLENT INDIAN PUDDING: Take a pint and a half of sweet milk ; pul it on the fire ; when it boils, stir in a pint oi meal; then take it off; put in a teacupful Q sour cream, with half a teaspoonful of sola (saleratus will do;) beat three eggs; whet it is cool enough not to cook the eggs, pu them in ; put rn a handfull of ripe fruit, (cur rants, cherries, plums, or something else; then stir in flour enough for a thick batter and bake it three quarteers of an hour, eithe put in three tablespoonsfull of sugar, or en it with sweetened cream-the former is pref erable.

S No woman of delleney is willing to disclose the peculiar of allments incident to her sex, even to a most intimate family physician. pThis modesty and delieaey is implanted by nature, and neither should nor need be subjected to the rude shocks In es, evitable in making known Lo the other sex those ailnents.be lon ing exclusively to the female. ..xcept in extreme cases, her sensitiveness will sacrifice her health rather than her delicacy. The consequences are serious, lamentable, and life-long. Titus what at first could have been easily remedied, or perhaps better still, not incurred, becomes a complication of disease, not only ruining the health of the mother, and em bittering her days by sickness and sufferimg. but entaiing S. broken constitutions upon her children, and embarrassing, ir nut distressing, tie buiness and pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let every sensible woman TISKE WerRNI. IA* TIMIR, (as thousan'ls have lone) by the bitter experience and suffer ings ofothers, of the drealfil coinsequences she entails upon herself und those endeared tot her, by taer ignorance mof the simplest and plainest rules of health as coitnected with the to marriage state, the violation of which entails disease, suffer. hke n jg arr suffering from obstruction or irregularities peculiar to t e female system, which underniine the health, led the effects of which they are ignorant, and for which their e ielleucy forbis seeking medical advice!

How many ale have dillicult, If not dangerous deliryries, and slow and un. certain recoveries! mes To the question, how are these to be prevented? what shall be done ? the answer is malste. of Let every woman ascertnin for herself, without violence to her delicacy, the nature and characterof tIhe ailment (to which di site as a female is subject) tle causes from which it nay arise, - the proper remeAdies for Its eure .nnl fut.re revention. x Tbhisshe can do by possessaing a little vo~laane (alreadly possessed by thtosam'ls) wich tellst her whtat ia te matler, andl tells her what to doa for it, int shnple but ehaste words, and sauch ta site enn unmierstand.
