WE are pleased to see that this subject is beginning to attract the attention of our farmers, the people of all others the most interested in this branch of agriculture. At. tention is requested to the communication of "SAuDA Faiu R ;" and we trust that it may bring out other communications on the same subject. ---.. ARMY WORM. This worm has committed considerable depredations in many portions of our Dis trict. In some sections, after distroying the grass, it 'attacked the corn blades and in others, has destroyed whole cotton fields. Will "CLOD HOPPER" furnish us with an article on this insect? DISTRICT SOCIETY FAIR. The eiUeet of these last stock shows, has excited the stock raiser: of our neighbour hood so that they call loudly for our Dis trict show in October next. It is thought advisable by many that it shall take place on Saturday of the second weck of next October Court. Farmers rub up your Horses, Colts, Bulls, COws, Hogs. Gots, Chickens, anal bring in samples of vl:hat. corn, millet, cotton, in sects, potatoes and a liule of atny and every thing that will be of interest. The e:ccutivc committee will give notice in our next iss'c of the precise time for the fair. TiE C.iTTLE SUOW. About two wccks since our Town was ex ei :d r o little by LLc suJJea appeaianc of t-;o Laga Bulls, of two of our brag stock r . . FicLzas aud Col. 1 fRAZIES, rc ;ularly c:p risoned and pitted against eachi other, and ea:h owner perfbetly s.m ue of l..aring otT the prize (a silver cup.) A crow.! of interested spectators, divide'd half and half, in their estimates of the fine points of 'these two noble animals, were im mzediately on the ground and rendered it difficult for the judges to please the majority. Col. F's Bull was a full Devon and was well backed by a large number of our best lovers of fine'stock. Col. P's, Bull was a grade Durham with a cross of Bramin, and for his age was certainly a well developed and hanesome animal, and had many admi rers. The decissionof the judges after poising and undulating for a long time amidst the anxiety of the spectators, finally turned the scale in favor of Col. PICEs' Bull; and he went off bellowing with the cup, to the great consternation of the majority of the crowd, and especially of Col. FRAZIEn. Col. F., also exhibited some superior specimens of half Devon stock, also a full Devon Heifer, and some grade Durham stock, that will do credit to any cattle show. Another superior full Devon Bull asO. also exhibited. Col. P., exhibited some fine specimens of grade Ayreshire stock, which taken all together, was a cattle show that was hard to beat. SWINE SHOW. Here Col. FRAZIER and Col. PICKE~s again were the main and only contributors in this show of the best lot of stock hogs. Of course they put themselves, to the trouble of selecting their very best speci mns and they were certainly choice por kers indeed. The judges however were at no loss to de cide in favour of Col. FRAZIER's lot, and they were tolled ofl, squalling after a silver cup of corn-victorious. FoR THlE ADVERTIUEa. THE BlL BUG OR CORN BORER. Mu. EDnTR: Perhaps it will not be amiss to give to your many readers my ob servation and experience daring this last spring and summer on the above Bug. I noticed some time in the early part or the spring, whilst I was engaged in sowing oats that nearly or quite all of the old rag or carrot weeds had holos in thetm as though' something had raised in the path of the stem, had maiored and come out. Tbe more I osamined the more I found it to be so, untilt at length I determined to see what insect had inhabited the rag weed during the last summer. After a close watch until about the middoe of May, I discovered that some of the most forward weeds had grown to be about four inches bigh when I discovered that a small incision or panatur hsd beetn made near the bud of the main stem; and upon further examination I found it to con tain a small yellow egg about the size of~ a small mustard seed. I then kept a close look-out to see what kind of an insect de posited the egg. I looked steadily for some time and almost came to the conclusion that the eggs must be deposited in the night time and not in the daiy. But, after a continued and a very close examination, and when the weeds become more plentier and larger, and the Bugs more abundant, 1 found them at length making their inclosure and also do. positing the egg. For a description of the Bill Bug or Cora' Borer I refer your readers to the Patent Office Report for 1854, where you will fnd Senator EVANS'description. But for fear that some of your readers may not have an opportunity of seeing the Patent Office Report, I will give my descrip lo..or fle..~ ag. I ave disnovered. The Bill Bug or Corn Borer is about five eigtha of an inch long, and from one eigth to one eighth around. and a sixteenth of an inch in diameter, running out rather sharp or nearly so each way. At the commence ment of the head there runs out a long trunk or erucked bill, something larger at the end of the bill than a little way from their end. It is of a dark or yellowish color more yellowish than dark. The bug cannot fly, but when interrupted closes up its legs and tumbles to the ground and there lies ap parently dead for some time; and when it finds, that it has not been harmed, it rises and moves off as though nothing had taken place. When the young plant (Corn) comes up, they attact it about three-eights of an inch above the grain, or just about where the first brace roots come out. They force their bill into the tender bud of the young corn and then continue to sap it until it is dead. I differ with Hon. Senator EvAxs in regard to the purpose of the insect making the incision or boring the young plant. The Senator says it is for the purpose of deposit ing the egg. But from my observations during this summer the insect bores into the young plant for the express purpose of food. Corn is about the first vegetation that comes up in the spring, consequently it is the only plant large enough that the bug can feed upon, and being of a very juey nature affords a very fine substance for the Bill Bug to pierce his long bill into Ie sucks the very essence of life until the plant must dwindle and die. They continue their ravages until about the first week in June at which time they are all out of the ground, and have concentrated their forces on the rag weed for the balance of the Summer. I observe whilst they are depositing their eggs in the tender stalk of the rag weed, you may find them frequently through the day feeding on the leaves, which I think is suniieut food ifr them after they leave the con:. I am of an opinion that even the rag weed, when they first come up in the vpring, are not free from thLir ravages; but the root ieing of a very h:rd wood-like nature they cannot penetrate it sufficiently to dis troy it. The eggs hatch cut a very salnal v hite worm, a grub with a blackish or yellmvi:sh head, and it continues to fee d on the pithy pnrtion of the weed until it gets the requoit size for transformation, it is covered or,'r with a yellow transparent coat; and in that covering is formed the full developed corn Bug. When fully~ matured, it cuts through this transparent covering, workes a hole a rough thle hard stem of~ the weed and is then ready to generate its spires for the remainder of the season. I have counted from one to three hundred eggs and grubs in a single rag weed stalk ; and then to think of the number of rag weeds tha't grow an nually in our stuble fields, to say nothing of the quantity that generally grows in our cornfield, cotton field, hedge rows, fence corners and around trees and stumps, in fact almost every where that the land is not well cultivated ! My plan for destroying the Bug, is to first distroy the weed. We would not only save great labor in replanting and a great deal of vexation at the uneaviness of tile corn, but the stuble fields pasture would be so much better than it is. Unless you plant your lands in cotton for two or three years before you seed it, you cannot expect any thing from your pastures after the grain is eaten by the stock. As soon as the grain im taken off the rag weeds springs up, and takes the place of every thing else. If the planting interest (aind it is to them that 1 appeal) would take a deep interest in this matter, and array itself in a regular p~halanx against the enemy, before two years will roll around the destroying hordes will be driven into despair and wholy destroyed. As I have remarked before my plan for destroying the Bug is to destroy their place of generating. I would advise all farmers, as it is a leisure season of the year, to fur. nish themselves with a plenty of large tur ning plows, say for instance, a good Iron plow would be famous for the like, and go into their stuble fields and turn the rag weeds upside down, and by so doing you will prevent them from coining or making seed for another crop. At the same time let the hoe hands, trim round the hedge rows fence corners, branches, ditches, and every other place where they can find a single weed stanlding; and in this way you may effetually, in the course of a few years, not only destroy this troubksome weed, but will cnd in the destruction of the corn borer. MR. EDITOR, I have spun this communi eation out longer than I expected when I commenced, but my deep-felt interest in the matter must be my excuse for its length. I hope that I may enlist some of your rea, ders to take hold of this subject that arc better calculated to do more justice to it, as it is a matter of vital intereat to the farming community. Perhaps when I get a little more at liA sure I will give your readers a more full ac count of differentthe transformnation from the grub to the perfect Bill Dog or corn borer. SALUDA PLANTER.

SAVING FODDER.--We copy the follow ing timely hints fron the Soil of the South. "in saving the fodder crop, two things are to be attended to ; first it must be pulled. at the right time, and secondly, it must be properly cured. It frequently happens that the corn blades begin to dry up before the. grain is hard, and in that case the fodder r crop must be lost, for if allowed to dry upon i the stalks, it is worthless, and if pulled be. b fore the grain is ready the corn sufrers by a it. The blades should never be pulled till the grain shrivels, or as long as it is at all a juicy. Being stripped from the stalks, the f blades should be tied into small bundles and t hung upon the stalks to cure. A rain upon the fodder immediately after it is pulled, or before it has dried, will not injure it, because the sap wtith which the blades are filled ex eludes the water; but after its own juices n have been dried by the sun, it ruins the fodder to have it wet. After the fodder has been cured, which will require not more 4 than 12 hours of sun, the small bundles are -I gsthered' into large ones, and these are brought together in quantities of 300 or 1,500 lbs. and stacked. Small stacks are preferable, unless the fodder has been very t thoroughly cured, as the smaller the stack the less danger of heating; but if the blades have been well cured, large double stacks as they are called containing 1,500 lbs. of fod der are the best, because there is less waste i about them. T EEs Faox SEED.-A few years ago we made a large collection of the seeds of shade and ornamental trees, both deciduous and eveigreen, and planted with much care, but did nut get a seed to vegetate. This season we have found out ihat was the matter: we planted too deep. It is well j known that in the pine regions of Georgia a this has been a great mast year, and we now find every where the winged seeds have met the surfaco soil, they have thrown out roots, and begun the form of a tree. They had i no planting but what nature gave them, and dame natture is a tollerable horticulturist. We invariably plant treo seeds; just soil enough to preserve the moisture ia all that is necessary. An ornamental tree grown from seed, may be made anything the culti- 7 vater wishes it. A fruit tree grown by seed is most likely to be healthy, and may prove a sure and valuable varieiy. It has been a question of time with most of us; we could rot wait for tree seeds to form trees. A I pine seed will make boards in 12 years. Apple seeds will make fruit-bcaring trees in tour years. Grapes in two and three years. a Peaeles and plums in 2 years. The China tree seed will make a good shade tree in 4 0 years. A man may have a forest or an orehard from seed, if he will. Even the acorn a;d hickory nut may be planted with 1 profit. Plant tree seeds, reader, and you w ill be astunished at the work of your hands in a fiw years.-Exehange. Sowiss ToNIs-D not forget that between the middle of July the last of Auust, is a good time to sow a patch of coon) turnips. Thme soil for turnips should be mnoist, rich and mnelloiw. Ground where corn has failed, or standls too thin, will nn swer if clear of~ weeds and well stirred. Or a piece of clean wheat stnbble may he ploughed for the purpose ; also p~atches in the gardeni where peas or early potatoes have been harvested. T1ur nil) seed is plenty and cheap in most stores where seeds are sold. It is best to buy enough at once to resowv with, in case (dry weather 0: the fly should destroy the first sowing. The seed, if fresh, will keep good for three or four years.-Farm Journal. To M AKE ExcE.L.LEN'T SOAP FOR Cox MON UsE.-You must have goond ashes, atnd I put them in hoppers or barrels, on a thick layer of straw, adding a half hushel of limec to a common sized hopper; wet thne ashnes, daily for several days, to let them rot; thene run it through, and it will be strong; put in r your kettles, and boil it, and till up for two or three days, or till you can skim up thick notash, that looks like dirty salt; then take out one fourth of thne lio and potash amnd set it aside. Now get your grease, and put ini the coarsest skins of bancon, honnes, &c., you. nave, and the lie wvill soon eat thema up. If lear grease rises on the top, ladel it off till, it eats up all the hones, &c., then if there ie any hones left, take a large fork and I pick them out, and throw them in the other kettle of potash; then add the pure grease dipped off, to make the soap so mild that it w~ill not quite take the skin off your tongue; try and see if it lathers wvell, then stir it an hour, and make the other kettleful the same way, and it will be hard, so you can take it out whemn cool. If you wish to refine some, put in a pailful of brine in a clean kettle, aind dissolve ten pounds or so in it, stirring it till it hails ; then let it cool in the kettle, and cut out an~d dry.--Southern Cultivator.
