On the subject of Pork Raising, which we consider of the utmost importance in the sub ?istence of our army, as also tho ^.people at home, we present our readers the' following valuable article,' written by a correspondent o? Soil of the South, ia 1800, but its truths are eanally applicable at this time, and even more so. Read, and profit by what you read . " Du. Cwi'D-rDear Sir :-Bacon Raised' entirely on corn in the cotton-growing States, has been found by most, if not all, who have tried it, to be more expensive than if purcuas ed fromthe grain growing regions. That is/ .the labor required to produce the corn to raise the bacon would, if applied to the pro duction uf.co.t/tc.n, make more cotton than the bacon would seri for. Hence the . necessity ifur.anhatitutiug other nutritious Substances to rendeftl tothe interest of the cotton plan ter to raise his own bacon and not be depen . dent upon others that he may not prove the . victim of extortions from the monopoly that would iollow^erc all to abandon the idea of raising their^fcm bacon. "I now come to the object of this com munication, which is to poiut ont a few of the xodes of raising bacon without much corn, if any. During'September I sow dowu rye ior grain pastures, or if<*Bot this I do so in October. After my hogs have gleaned the peagroan?and potato fields, I turn my sows and pigs on green rye and later in the spring on green oats ; this will, save half com and keep them .in better order tbau with double the corn without the produce. Tbis course of feeding continues say five months, at hali allowance makes two and a haK months corn feeding. This brings us to. harvest fields plums, peaches, armies, mulberries, which last till November and afford food that . will not only support but fatten a hog almost as fat as he can be madete We place our fattening hogs in the pea nelda in October^ which with the aid of potatoes^and, ground peas, prepare *jur bogs for bacon without any com af all. M We kill year old hoj;a and leas-ev"en (T. mouths old ff we have plenty ol pams and po tatoes to fatten them, which wc usually do. and can say from experience that it is folly to keep hog? f*o winters. Those who have no orchards, and DO experience ia their bene fit to hogs, would bc surprised to kuow hovr ' much advantage those possess who. own theta as a succession of fruit of thc above varieties can be bad for 5 mouth? or mote in which! not one grain of corn need \m fed away dar- I jog tho time, and no labor in fttfcdiug as ?ur l'0g8 remain in tho orchards: all the time. "Nie cultivate the ground pea so as i?ot tb in terfere wirb the cotton. We picpate th"'laud with fifteen-inch scooters, tts ducp .?s. ora? horse can pull, in lUc t'arly spring or wintfcx. Any time in May, when the land is we; enough to bring thc-p?a up without ?,n additional *r.p ply of rain, plant tu three feet; rows' drilled one and a half ur two feet api?.r&,.,of lite shell g? poa, and cover wku a scoter furrow. "When up and grassy, run round them with a sweep large enough to clean the row: Let them gland 4P your coru "and cotton needs your attention until you lay by, ' then sweep t/bcm again and giv? them a good hoeing, which is ali thc* work they require. I.some times plant late in May and m.-.ke fine gp Mind peas at a cost almost nomiaah ?.s ?och quan tities eau be :'j.ide io the o?fe,'ajjd as they dc wed o:. pev ? land that Wuul pay to cultivate I? corn or cotton. Mode ?rf saving 's'eei?- puira^?T^prwhen 1'u8t ripe, torn them over to dry; when dry taul the vines home and house, or make rail pens in the patch, put them under cover until cotton picking is over. , I then shell from tho vines enough lor seeiand foed the roots to my sows and pigs* while on green pasture, which will be found, by any ono that tries it, cheaper than corn, as an acre will make a hundred bushels. One-fourth of the land in green pastures and orchards, and ground-peas, will raise and fatten hogs and not require one-tenth tbe?abor, which, aided by wheat, rye and' ca"!s in the ripe state, when orchards are not convenient, will be found cheaper than corn, and consequently more palatable, as the rye will remain in the held till the other two grains are entirely gone, and even till No vember some years, - and be sound and good, upon which hogs will remain in fine growing order. Besides the :advantages in point of economy and convenience, let. it be remember ed that these , substitutes for corn, as above described, actually rest the land and do not keep up the system of exhaustion which is continually goiui- on in the process of mak ing corn and cotton alone ; hence I say r-very wise patriotic planter should torn a portion of bis attention tn orchards, and raise more grain . and peas and potatoes, and also raise his own manure, and strive to be independent in all things as much so as possible in order to pro mote his own and the happiness, of' his ne groes, for plenty of good home raised bacon, plenty of fruit, ?c., wth save many a- Doctor's bill, and prove beneficial in every other aspect of the question." What Should bc Done. There are a great many things Which we ought to do and which we put oil' from-iime to time, through negligence or indifference, but thero is something cow present- to us which admits of nd, delay a's it is matter of vital importance, demanding immediate at tention, i lanting time is now upon us, and we cannot too earnestly urge upon our.people the great and pressing necessity of plauting something on every spot ot ground. Tho army and the people at home must be clothed and fed, and ourplanters and farmers must see to it that they do their whole duty in this respect. There.is no danger i to bc' apprehended from Mr. Lincoln and his horde of satellites, but serious consequences would result from a scarcity of provisions, and'the only way to efitctually guard against such a direful ca lamity is for every maa who has a patch of groutid to act as if the safety of himself and family depended upon the amount of vegeta bles and root crop3 ho could raise. Plaut corn, vegetables of all kindsiu the present scarcity of meat will be most acceptable, and-, plant as many potatoes ay possible as "the}', are of great importance. One acre well cul tivated aa ai garden, will go furtfier towards subsisting a family tbau ten acres as a field crop. Plant pea?, beans, squashes, tomatoes, turnips, cabbages, carroto, etc. The greatest industry should be exercised to grow provid ions for man and beast during the present year, as the wants of the country will require all that can be raised. Lee us all then be stir ourselves-'m this good work, as there will '"' he an urausual demand for provisions of all ? kiuds, and our success iu a measure depends upon keeping the army well clothed and fed. -A'jguaUi, Constitutionalist. Apiarians. Now is tho-ifme to examine all of your bec- , hives, see that they are all well cleared of i webs and other litter, see that each hive bas a '< healthy queen, and if any hive is found' to be 1 quccnless, 'jive them a comb that has worker, brood eggs, etc., in the cells. If any hive j has di*d ard left brood comb it'may now be profita!.ly used among the new swarms: give / each new colony a few frames and you will ] find that they will be easier hived and will t not get so reduced in numbers, a? they will t commence rearing workers at once ; drone or ? comb that lina large cells should not be used in the brood hives, as it only tends to raiss a - host of droits or consumers when a verv few will answer al! the requirements of ? noble apiary. Put on ail of your 'tool hives boxes - and g!?dsesj put so>- e whito comb" in each ii" you have ir, if not, put a piece of any comb you caa get. it is always bec.t to have comb in each il posible. April is now here and the bees are now t beginnii g io rear their young and to gather honey; you will bear in mind lo attend to ^ them at once, fo?if you put ?ft u&tii to mor- -? row it will nevar come, but your bees .will' g take wings aud fly away, and you will raise but tittle boney, llave your bee benches and bee hives in-readit:ess-*kcep your Lives cool. In hiving us? the hive dry; there is no use washing the hive with anything. As soon as a swarm ha$ alighted give them a hive at once, and ii' y<>u have mauy hives in close proximity have them enter as fast as possible, j If others commence swarming put a clean sheet over?hiim until the others have settled: , If your bees seem to enter slow, you will take < a flat stielt* or spoon and nat a, few to the en < trance of hive ; they will soon raise that hum -I that is so well known to Apiarians, and means ;] that they have found a horne* They will raise ! this hum ?uy time if you wllLspreventtheir ? entering their hive for a few minutes, or Tf , you close the hive and then let them fly. i Let all your-movements he 6?ow in mana- ' gmg bees, avoid the least jar, have.your hives ; so as they will face the southeast, "and so the sun will shine on them early in the morning. Use good hives of sound material. I use the Langstroth hive, and it rs tho best that I have ever used. Po sure to have your hlvei? well protected from the sun. A very Btrong hive 1 with a plenty of combs will fill in eight or ten days if the season is favorLIe, at the heighth 1 of honey harvest. The way to prosper in bees is to keep strong stocks and you will be sure j to be righ:. If you will blow-cotton rag smoke , in the entrance of a hive, they will" retreat, i when they may, in a minute or two, be taken i out as harmless as so many house flies, or they will au?er you to do them as your please, if you do not jar them, though, sometimes, there wijrt bo a few cross ones who seem de- ? termined to sting whatever it cost them. If orre stings you use peppermint on the wound, or some honey will do. N. W. G ADDY. McQoeens' P. 0., S. C., April 12. IS63. . -? * ?? Cream cannot risc thr"tigh-a great depth of milk.
