W UFlL[ TCL The demand for this breed of swine is so great that'we have had to send the last pair we had to dispose of to Georgia, to supply the demanded there, over and above the supply of the energetic stock raisers of that State. The Southern Agriculturist, edited by Adam Summer, esq., and published by Dr. R W. Gibbs, Columbia, South Carolina. We are'expecting d;!Y, aq' spets of the Journal to be established by the State Agricultural Society-we hope all of our farmers, who are able to own a plow stock, whether of iron or wood will. come forward and subscribe. ACRICULTURCL SCHOOL, Why, arid how is it that many States of the Union have well endowed Agricultural Colleges in successful operation, while we of South Carolina seem to think that our people are to become good and great by intention. Is it that farmers like poets are to-be born and not made t Or is it important or neces sary for a farmer to have any sense at allI The State, at much laudable expense and fostering care, has nobly done much, on her part, for taking- care of the gentlemen of South Carolia, alias the students of South Carolina College. How these gentlemen have repaid her both principle and interest, it is not ours to enquire. But, because the State in her pride,, cannot inanufncture all boys into gentlemen, is no reason why our farmer boys, plow or clodhopper boys, should be so negligently cast off, to learn the great science of Agriculture by intention alone or an occasional visit to a sunday school. We deem it a work of the meorest superer rogation to say, that South Carolina should have a well endowted Agricultaral school (we prefer the term school to College.) It is a self evident proposition and appeals loudly to our legislators and statesmen for support. Let us have a school of the highest order of endowcment in both money and a ful and large corps of Professors, with an ex perimental form, and also a botanical garden attached-while we have a school for gen elemen and one for soldery and one for~Doc term, and some for divines, and many for wives, let'us have one for farmers, the most useful class of our entire population. It is to be hoped, that the State. Agricultural Society, with the mental energies of her President, shall feel itself bound to effect, and to address itself immediately to the delightful task. EDGEFIELD AGRICUiLTUR SOCIETY. Wa have made a good beginning in the formationa of a Socity. A goodly number of our best citizebs have already enlisted, among which are numbered many of our best, practical farmers. But are we to stop herei Is the mere enlistment or subscribing our names to the articles of the Constitution, to be the first and last movement of the Societyi We hope not. We are truly sorry to know that there are still many intelligent, practical and successful farmers in oor District, who still stand aloof from this noble enterprize. Why is this the case I Do these gentlemen know that their indifference, to this effort to ele vate the standard of Agricultural progress, is doing a public injury to the causei Can they not perceive that 'they are. acting as an impediment to the progress and improve. arent of their neighbours, and giving a false tone to the* Agricultural character of the District? Surely, upon sober reflection, they will yet come up to our help. But iwhy should we longer wait for the co-oper ation of those who have, thus far remained indifferent to so good a causei We have :a sufficient number upon our list to go for. ward,' and let the tardy sleepers see, by our works and determined will, .that we are ,esoIsed to make the influence of our Socie ty tell upon the District, with a good and iasting effect. Tro this end let us begin to act, by comn ing together with a general exhibition of every thing.that can be thought worthy of exciting emulation inI our members. Let us show improvements of every discription, whether inablooded Stock and cattle of every kind, or ila iirplements, tools and machinery. We, therefore,. propose that the President of our Society be authorized to appoint a day in May or June- next, for a general exhibi tion to serve a. a, neucleus or starting point, and we feel assured thatsthis begining, how. ever bad, will be followed with the best of eenseqlences. . * TTO OIA ROSES. The principal seat of the manufacture is iia the district~ of Hassanlik, which comprises about thirty-eisn villages, and is situated in Bulgaria, about two-hundled miles northwest of Constantinople. This district is devoted alnicist entirely~ tot the edlitlors of roses, and during the season of harvesting. which is from the first of May to-the middV, ofl Juno, the contry, for miles beyond the bor ders of the district, is redolent with the odorI of roses. The cultivation of the rose and the extraction of the oil, occupy nearly allI the time of the. people.[. In e. istillation of the roses, the water -wich coiies off is successivevly re.distiljedaiid finally' the bil, being the lightest, rises ,to 'the top ainad is skimmed off. It is limpid, with aatinge of orange color. It is said to take three hun dred thousand roses to yiold in ounce of oil. Tis oil is vrought eo Constan'tinople in her metically sqaled copper vessels, varying in-size frosi those capable of holding an ounce to those -which hold seven pounds so that, at the regular market price, ($6 an ounce,) one of these copper cases may be worth $500. The oil is worth six times its weight in silver. The ordinary amount of oil produced in. Bassanlik is a little less than 3,000 pounds. - At Constantinople the oil is put up in gilt bottles, manufactured express ly for the purpose in Slohemia. The rose water which remains from the distillation after the oil has been* skimmed off is sold for eight or tencents a qfart, and is used by the Greeks and Armenians on all festival occasions. It has been stated that the ..otto is worth in the land of its manufacture six 'dollars an ounce; and it is frequently sold' here for at considerably less imnoui?: Tii6 apparent inconsistency is owing to the fact thattiE oil is osceptible of an extraordinary degreE of adulteration. It was formerly mixed with sandal-wood oil, which is valued al about one-twelfth as much as the otto of roses. It is much less limpid and flowing than the oil of roses, Of late years, however, a new . oil has been introduced to dilute oil of roses and render it less overpowering. It is - broughi by the Arabs from Mecca, and is called by them "Shepherd's perfune." It is extracted from a kind of geranium, at a cost of. tw dollars'psi 'pound, or one thirty-sixth the price of otto of roses. Both on account o its cheapness, a certain similarity of odor and its likeness in color and weight to ottc of roses, no other oil is so well adapted to mix with it and reduce its strength. in the common oil of roses, found in the shops there is probably .fifteen per cent. of foreigr oils; and the diffusability of its arrotna il such,.that it may receive without perceiva ble depreciatioti, iii the opinion of ordinary judges, eighty per cent. of pure foreign oils especially of the oil of geranium.-Hunt'i Mtgazine. ON TE CULTIVTION OF THE GROUND NUT 01 PIDAR. The ground Nut bears best on a free lighi soil. Plow and harrow level about the. Ist of March; open a trenob with a small plow five feet apart, in strong land, and four feel in poor-about six inches deep; into whic put some well rotted manure, if you have it to spare; if not the trench need not be more than three inches deep;' cover' tho manure with about two inches of edrth, on which plant the shelled nuts, eighteen inches apart, two in a place and cover with the hoe-wher well up, hoe the grass from - the plants foi three or four inches on each side of the rows: and keep the spaces between free from grass with the plow and hoe, gradually increasing the width of the bedstaa the branches spread, and keeping the earth loose for the nuts te enter and grow to maturity. Trhe beds oughi to be of ant oval form, and not raised very high. The branches spread on the ground, and the blossom is produced at the base ol leaf on a sort stem stalk. W hen the blossom decays, the tender germ, by the elongation of its foot-stalds, pushes itself under ground, where the nut growvs to maturity ; hence the necessity of keeping the sides of the beds loose to facilitate the entrance of the young and tender' nuts. At the last plowing run a furrow 'from four to six inches deep, to car ry off the rain-water from between the beds. The advantage of putting the manure in the drill where the roots can come ic contact with it, is to give a stroung and quick growth to the vines, so as to get the whole land covered as soon as possible. TIhe Ground Nut requires the whole season to come to maturity. To save the vines for fodder, be fore frost pull them up quickly, and dry themi .until cured. They make excellent hay for all kinds of stock, and the product is more than double the quantity of corn blades. By pulling briskly the nuts are left in the ground to be gathered at leisure. The gathering'of nuts is a tedious process, one bushel being a day's work, unless they bear very thickly, and the weather is fine and the soil dry, when one and a half bushels may be gather ed. They are cured by spreading them on a scaffold in the sun until perfectly dry, anid all the false ones picked out before they are put awvay. if not planted to sell, one or more acres should be planted on every farm ur planta tion, and after gathering enough for family use, and seed for another year, the rest may be left for hogs and turkeys, both of which will fatten on them better than any other food. And planters on light land may raise their own bacon, of a very fine quality ; the hogs may be killed from the Ground Nut field, without any corn, and the meat will be sweeterland wvill not shrink more than if corn fed. TIhe Ground Nut is the best of all nuts grown in the South, and fromt its productive ness and easy cultivation, ought to be more generally cultivated. The product is more to the acre, producing from fifty to one hun dred bushels, and selling readily for one dol lar a bushel, and frequently for more. JOHN MILNE. .Beaufort, S. C. SETTIG OUT ORCHIARDS. DIRaCTIoNs FoRt AN ORtCHARD.-Those who have no orchards, or wish to start an other on their pstate, should prepare the ground at once, and make arrangements to set out young orchards. They should' be sure to buy none but the most superior kinds; such fruits always have brought, and always will bring good prices. An acre in the best kind of apples will bring more mon ey than will three acres in wheat or any other grain, or other crop. It is worthy ,,f remark in this connection, that the demand for superior fruit is on the increase, and that an orchard of well selected fruit always adds to the value of a farm whenever a pro. prietor wisher to sell, to say nothing of the comfort and~ luxuries it insures to himself and family. In buying trees to set out a young br. chard, every farmer and planter should rep. udiate the idea of purchasing from tree ped ars, they being men generally upon wvhom no reliance can' be placed. The'owners of nurseries of established reputation are the only reliable persons to procure trees frein; they are responsible, and should they de ceive you, they are answerable at lawv by an action for damages. COMPOST FOR AN ORCHARD.-The follow ing is for an acre to be set in an orchard: Ten two-horse cart loads of marsh, river, or creek mud, or the same quantity of woods mould. Five two-horse cart-loads of stable or barnyard manure.' Four bushels of bone-dust. One bushel of plaster, and, The whole to be-shovelled over, well nix ed together, and left in a bulk three weeks. i PREPARATION OF THE GtRoUND.-At the t expiration of three weeks, shovel over the I compost, so as tw'mix it thoroughly,;,:fthen haul it on the ground, spread it evenly over. 1 the stirface, plow the"compost in to-'the'depth! of eight inches, let thd sub-soil plow follow 9 the other. plow to the depth of six incies more. The- plowing and sub-soiling donie, harrow, cross-harrow, and roll; when your land will be fit to receive the trees. SETTING OUT TitE.TREE.-iDig the-holes forty feet apart each way, sii: Teet square and two feet deep; pla'ce the surface soil dug out of the holes on one side, and the sub-soil on the other: mix the surface soil with an equal portion of the compost, a part of which must be saved for the purpose. With this, fill up each' hol'e-to the proper depth to receives the trees. Examine the roots carefully, and cut off any parts that may have been broken smoothly; then in sert the tree so as to stand in the hole the same depth it did in the nursery. Let one man hold the tree up straight, while the others spreads the'roots carefully and regulairly out; next drive down a stake-to support and keep the trees erect; then commence to fill up the hole with the mixture of compost and surface soil: as the soil is being put in, say when the hole is about one-half filled, pour in a hucket of water, to settle the earth around the roots; then put in the remainder of the soil ; press the earth gently with the hand, and finish by giving to the surface a shallow, basin-like form, by confining the tree to the stake with a wisp of straw, or some other soft substance; then fil 'up the basin formed gradually, pour thereon a buck et of water. CHINESE AlRICMTUIE. The oldest countries in the world are Egypt and China, and in both of them the art of agriculture is pursued to its highest cultivation ; at least, we may say there is no portion of the world where the industry of man has exhibited such wonderful results in the tillage of the earth. Much may be learn ed by more civilized nations from the hus bandry of the Chinese especially, whose im mense population has been sustained for ages from a soil that grows rich under per petual cultivation. The secret of their suc cess is by no means new or profound. It consists in highly manuring every foot of soil. We are informed by Bayard Taylor, in his interesting book on India, China and Japan, that the alluvial soil around Shanghai is constantly redolent of the most repulsive odors, and that vehicles are always passing out of the city filled with noisome and effica cious manures. The whole country is culti vated like a garden, and not a pound of ima terial that can add to its fertility is suifered to be lost. Such is the lesson taught us imericans by the antiquated Chinese. Strange truth, that the most progressve and enterprising 'of the Christian nations, should be so far behind the unsociable and besotted heathern of Eastern Asia, in the simplest and most important of all the arts! We ought to feel the point of such a compparison, and seek before the world a less humilainig cou trast.- Carolina Cultiaor. GRAFT YOUR PEACII TREES. The peach is the best fruit of the kind out soil produces, but the trees are liable to early decay on account of the worms which infect thte root. Many plans have becn devised to destroy the troublesome grub, but all that we have tried have proved complete failures. TIhe only effectual remedy against moth and grub is to graft or "bud your varieties of the peach on common plum stocks--hich we all knowv are not liable-to die, as most of our old fields will attest. The grub will not trouble the plum root; and we are told by a friend at our elbow that the p):1lan hs been entirely successful in Virginia. Any quantity of plum stocks may be obtainted in every lo cality, and in this way the best varieties of1 the peach may be grown at very little trouble and no expense wh-tatever. Try it farmers, atnd save your time lost in doctoring trees, atnd killing grubs.-S. C. Tem. Standard. A LARGE SUGAR EsTATE.-[In the South. ern.Christian Advocate, we fitid an interest ing letter from an American at Cuba, from which we extract the following. The writer - was a guest at the sugar estate knowni as the "Flower of Cuba," and says: "This estate contains five thousand acres of productive lands. We rode ffor hours through immense fields of sugar cane, t welve to eighteen feet high. Tlhzese fie ds are divided by beautiful avenues of royal palm antd mango trees. Many of the trees are sixty to eighty feet high, in the distance looking1 like white marble columns. T[hey commence cutting the cane in December, and the top is' used as food for cattle. In Louisiana the cane has to be renewed annually ; here, once in tena or fifteen y-ears. It is hauled in carmts drawnm by oxen to the sugar mill, which is usually located in the centre of the farm. "Formerly the grinding was done by ox power, but recently the Amnetican etnginte has been introduced. The building and machinery on'this estate cost thrne hunidred thousand dollars. They wvork eight hun dred htands, and about one thousand exent, for five months in the year. The mill runs night and day-Sundamyand .Ilonday. Three hnrdcres are planted in vegetables,t fruit, etc., for the negr-oes. TIhey will makeI this yearj twvelve thousand boxes amnd two I thousanmd hhds, sugar, besides several thou sand hhds. molasses. The product of this farm w~ould be worth in the Chiarlestoni market one million dollars !" SPEEDY CURE FOR A FOUNDERED hlORsE -As soon as you find your horse is founder ed, bleed him in the neck in proportioti to the greatness of the founder. In'extreme cases you may bleed him as long as lie can stand up. Then di-aw his head up, as i common in drenching, and wvith a spoon put on his tougue, give strontg salt until you get him to swallow one pint. lHe careful not to let hiim drink too mnucht. Then anoint around the edges of his hoofs with spirits ol turplen tine, andl your horse will be well in one hour. A founder pervades every part of the system of a horse. The fleamn arrests it from the blood, tho salt arrests it from the stomach and bowels, and the spirits of tur pentine arrests it from the feet atid limbs. I once rode a horse ninety-nine miles in two days, returning home at night the see onid day, an:I his owner wvould not have known that he had been foundered if I had not told him, and his founder a as one of the deepest kind. I once, in a travel of seven hundred miles, foundered my horse three times atnd I do rot think may journey w'as..retarded more than one day by the misfortune, htaving in all cases observed atnd practised the above ; prescription. I have known a -foundered horse turned in at night on green food ; in. the morning he would be wvell, having been purged by the green food. All fotntdet-s, must be attended to imediately.-S. W. Iarmer. To WoRK THE WoRS' SPILED.HORS1i. TESSRs. LDI'rolts-Place gear o'n the horse, bo backband as far back as his kidneys,'h'e elly-band. at the usaai place. Have the races.short, that the singletree can only ass the root of the horses tail, and stop b ir 8 'nehes above his hocks. The gear hould be strong, and well secured at all initi. It is best to have the horsy secured o his stall for a day or two before leading iim out, that he may become used to the rear, and less liable to kick. The beauty ;f the thing is, the singletree binds so close o his hamus, that it prevents the play of his reels. When you discover your horse will >ear the touch of the singletree and gear, ,ou inay then attach plow lines with gear md place a drag, and practice him until he vill bear the p)low or wagon. I have alopted. this plan for more than wenty years widhout a single failure to gen. le tire worst runaway animals I ever knew, n fact, they cease to kick and become gen. le at once. Yours truly, BIRD SAFFOLD. Seguinc, Guadaluipc Co., Texas 1855. We'll try it and report, (EDs.) USE'UL AND- 'GENouS.' We'received a rew days since from a Lady friend, one 'of the most ingenious pieces of w6rk we have seen in a long while, intended for exhibition at the Annual Fair. of the Spartanburg Agricultural Society. It is a pair of socks, the work of Mliss Mira Jackson of our Dis trict. knit together on the same needles, at the same time, the one inside of the other. Miss Jackson had heard of its being done (though she had never seen it) and went to work to flnd out how it was done, aid snt ceeded, after some eflort, in unravelling the mystery.- The work is well executed on both the inside and outside sock-every part-as perfect in each as if knit apart. Whether one call knit faster in this way we are not informied; no doubt a great deal of time might be saved by it.-Spartanburg Erpress It is believed that Coffee can be cultiva ted in some of our Southern States as sue aessfully as in Brazil, Java and Jamaica. 'I'hat its cultivationr in our country would be iii valuable may be inferred from the fact that it cost us'no less than $15,700,000 annually as an importation. The cofl'ee tree it is well known, lives to a great age, provided the soil is kept drained, and begins to bear when three years old, increasing in fruition ill seven years of nge. It is to be hoped that the experiment will speedily be tried in some ofour Southern States. THE EDGEFIELD BOOT AIWD SHOE MANUFACTORY!
