From the C untry Gentler an. MANURING, RINS,1 ROUGITS, &C. It is obvious from the remarks which we meet ivith occasionally,' both in conversation -6d in reading,..tt there-is not.as yqt any thing.approaching to: aggeaeral. or at least a univer.at- agreement-emong farmers as to the prpcriilepth font ie deposit of'manures. S W( k''ik~r 'as if'he hatural ten o f IL. Iures was to rise in a gas eous forjm to, the surface. and that they ought, therefore,-to be plowed in deep to prevent a too reidyseape in the fori of a gaseous exhalation'. Others, again, talk and write as if the natural tendency of most manurial matters was,to sink hito the soil, or even to klach away; an'dit'liat; therefore, they should beippli.ed t thd suin co or within a few i-ihes of .it. ..Th6 one party fix their atten tion upon the risk of loss by. evaporation, and the other on the risk of. loss of the fer tilizing substances, by their soaking away beyond the Pue of the roots and.spongioles of plants,-itd by magnifying one or other of.these risk#, and shutting out of view or under-estimating the o pposite one, the exist ing ditferences of opinion on the subject are the result. Moderate or judicious men on either side will be realy to adimit, we presume, that plants will be most benefitted by manures which give out their strength in the stratum of the soil containing the largest amount of rootlets and sponigile's. Ai the depth at which the l'eaLest -MaS' 0f those heedinqg 11ouths is to he l'hun I. dill'ers in d;itirent p!auts, so oau ght the depth at which the ferti lizers of th!.,e silfl-rei plants may be iiot advantageouisy deposited. The fertilizers which depend iainly on w:ater for dissilv Ing them, or preparing them to be takeit up by the feeding n(this of the rooth-ts, should phiced'a little above the level w here the )ul. of the sniall roots is to be ftund ; and againwhich depend mainly on heat &o evolve their amnonia or other fertilizig dolstitients in a gaseous form, should be placedlitld "below the level of the mass of roots; so that -in each case the strength of the several fertiliz ing substances would have to pass throngh the stratum in which the largest. quatntity of feeding mouths is usually located. The above consideration -may do some thing to harmonize the existing difierences of opinion and practices upon this. subject. There is yet another consideration which it mightihe well to ponder in connection with these differences. Nature has provided both foi- the descent and the ascent of all the dissotved portion of whatever fertilizing mat "ir there may be in the .soil. .When the Stirfae is saturated with :inoisture, the dis solved food of plants. descends, and when the surface is dried by, heat, then the liquid which is evaporated by the soil atid by the plants Ipou it, brings up with it whatever dissolved manurial matter the rains had car ried down. Nature in this way has provi ded for a con.stant circulation, upwards and downwards, of whatever fertilizingr matter -may be already at any time dissolved and ileady for tile use of plants. Hot days and droughts bring it up, rains carry it down, and so the roots catch a share, whether pas. sing upwards or downwvards. From the Cotton Planter anal Soil. WilAT A P0OR131AN CA.T AFFORDI TO DO!. .Da. CLOUD-Dear .Sir: "No poor man can afford to cultivate his land in such a manner as to cause it to wear out." The above is an extract from a speech delivered before the "Farmer's Club" of Newv York. The speaker goes on to show that a pooi mancanntifolrd to row forty bushels of conon two acres, wlterif-cyproper manage. m ient, he could grow it on one. Nor can he afford to keep up fences around one hun dredl acres, when fifty acres would, if prop er1ly managed, make more than the one hundred. The whole of the speech is a splendid document. It shows that the an thor takes the proper view of what it takeE -to constitute agricultural improvements. -Some of those 'who are called qur best farmers, say that they have no time'to im prove their lad. The speaker referred to, showed that a foirmer has more time to im. prove his farm thanr he has to wcar it out, He can improve fifty acres with less troubh and e.rpens~e, than he can wvear out one hun. 'Ired, and make more money at the formeri thani the latter. While lie is keeping up the fences, and cultivating and gathlering the scaty ptroduct of' one hundred acres, he can improve, with the labor put on half of it, fifty acres, and make more on the fifty thani 'he does on the one htundred acres.. But the South will not believe this, until 4hey are crowded together, and compelled to believe it by occular demonstration. Let us hope for better: times in agricullture, politics and religwion. Good night ! G. D. II~taM.. Utica, Miss., A pril 6, 1857. Is inE FnIST :NIILK 1'oisoN ?-A frielld in forms us that Mr. 11. B. Wy man, of Sidney. lost a valuable siiw not lung ago, in conse quence' of giving her the first milk of a cow atfter <.alving, and asks itf it invariably caui ses such trouble it' hogs are fed on it? We blieve that it does. We onle year gave s ome such milk to a sow that was with pig. 9t made her sick and she cast her pig.; be. tore her timae, all oft which were dead. We - were-tld that such would be the result if we fed her with it. but wer'e faithless. TIhe next year we fed it to another under the same circumstances, and the result was the same-all the pigs being dead. We found that rather costly experimenting, and have never tried it again. Last sprinig one ot'our neighbors who had a very fine sow, fed her with a pretty generous portion of such mnilk, she immediately became sick and came very near dying. And now we have the above fact related of Mr. Wymnan's sow as above. 'We think these facts are suffiicent to war rant the conel-usion, that such milk is highly injuriotus to swine,-or at least to sows. It would be rather excu~csive to go into a se ri'es of experiments, to swine, but when iso lated and accidental cases are all f'ollowed by the same result, it is fair to consider it an estalis~ihed law of nature, and worthy to be put down amnong the scientific thects in animal physiology. -... .- . . From the A merican Faimners' Magazine. REARING AND FEEDING OF SWINE. * ..nrs. Editorsr:-It has struck me that Imight, inam~iie snfall mneasture, aid the cause you advocate, by commiunicating my viewvs on the rearing and feeding of swine; 'a~ topic .recently -discu'ssed at the meceting of Legislat ivifarmrs in Massachusetts. Evecry farmer should raise and keep a few hogs. In themselves they ar'e valuable, essential ini thme feed iof his !iimily. No ma~n cemi get along coml fortably without the use of a cer-j tain quantity cif pork. All the parts of the hog will beibhund convenienlt in their domes. te arrangements. They can be reared and of wennA~ muth extra etD'ensh ebpobIialy on a farm where the dairy processes of mak ing butter and cheese are carried on. But what I would particularly notice in relation to the hog, is the benefit of his rprvices in preparing fertilizers for their fields. Let a farmer keep half a dozen hogs, and take care to supply them well with material for the making of manure, from the swamp, -the meadow, and the road-side, and I hesitate not to say that the value of the manure iiad by them, at the close of the year, will be quite equal to the value of the meat, even, though it bring, as now, 12 cents per pound. How can the farmer apply some portion of his leisure hours to better ad van tage, than by looking after such a family of hogs? I remember this was always done on the farm where I was brought up, and they found their account in so doing. What breed, of hogs is to be prefered ? For a time the Suffolk, with their short legs, round and plump bodies, have been all the go; but since it is ascertained that their meat does-not cook well in the pot; that there is much uncertainty in procuring fair litters of pigs; and that their growth costs more a pound than many of our native* hogs, their admirers have become few and far between. I heard a man of much experience say, that he would sooner grow the common hog at ten? cents the pound, than the Siuflk at twen ty-f!e cents per pound. If this be so, the Sufibik will go down, for no inan will continue to grow pigs; for their beauty alone. Beauty is of value, but utility more so. ESSEX Co., .ass. P. TO M.KE 11AP1D CANDLES OF SOFT TALLOW. '.o tw elve pounds of tailow take half a galloi of water, to which add three table spoonfuls of pulverize. alumand two ditto saltpetre, which heat and dissoine ; then add your tallow and one pound of beeswax; boil hard altogether, until tha water evipo rates, and skim while boiling. It should inot he put in your molds hotter.than you can bear your hand in. The candles look much nicer when the wicks are not tied at the bottom. It is not only a disagreeable ta.%k to cut the wicks off, but it injures the mold. Never heat your molds to draw your can dies in cold water Tallow from beeves 'fed on corn or grain, is much sofier than when fed on grass or clover. Therefore the tallow fron grass-fed cattle should always be selected for sunmer use, and the candles will alwaysrbe hard with the addition of very little auin and beeswax. In very cold weather much less alum iitust be used, or they will crack so as to fall to pieves sometimes.; aimd a third more of eac-h should be used in war1 wealth er if the talow is very soft. With a little nanagenimet you can always have hard tal low for summer use where you make all your owi candles .-Country Gentleman. E'ST ABL ISHMENT EDGEFIELD, S. C. JOHN M.
