BDnl gets no benefit out of that part with which he is unacquainted, and then is informed that he bas more, and is told how to uso it, why is not, this equivalent to thc * parchase of more acres ? Farmers are often heard to exclaim: "Ob that I-were rich enough to buy a little more land, then I could*fatten more cattle and* sheep, and I could carry more grain to market !" Now, to such men, at least, to some of them, t?t beg leave to say, your farms are already, lar ger than you suppose. You seem to think that your ownerehip^?xtends only six inches .deep into the earth ; WK'this is;a misappre hension. It is not very strange, however, j - since all the form er owners of the soil kai j tho same idea, and-the Indians, from whom your ancestors bought or stole the land, were content with only the*"'surface-just enough to bunt upon and tb grub a fe^ roots out of. But this is-all?a mistake, as ;vou will see on refiaPtion. Examine the title deeds to your . land and see if there is any limit to your rights in a 'downward direction. You will not find r.r.y j we know?you won't. Now, therefore, d? n?t fear to ?0 at once and take possession of the rest of your farra It is virgin soil, covered over with only a few inches of partly worn land j and it-will return you fine"crops if you wM only lay^ it open to the sun and air7 or mix it with the soil you ? have long cultivated. Perhaps it will not be wise for you lo try to use itali tho firsdj^ar ; use*a little moderation in tutoring upon your new property, for your AV 11 sake and foistke farm's sake: Ilere is what some writer bas said on tlc sui jcCt-not strictly correct, per haps, but highly suggestive :. " At (ho present time, the average crop cf wheat per acre, in. Great Britain, on a soil cultivated for centuries, is about double that produced onthe comparatively new soil of Ohio. Why ?8 this? Simply because the leading British farmers are educated men, and apply their work wisely. They pay back *toihe earth what they borrow from ber; they endeavor by every means in their power to enrich their ground, and in return it en riches them. If American farmers, instead of. laboring to double the number of their acres, would endeavor to double their crops, they would find it a saving of time and toil, and an increase ot profit. * * Many men, never think of diggiug ten inches into . the'soil, unless they have dreamed about a crock of geld hid in the earth ;-l.tft if they would set about the wAk of digging ?ti ear nest, every man would find his cluck of gold without.the aid of dreams or divination.*' We once heard of some, remarkable straw berries, raised in a neighboring town, and called the ??*Washington Excelsior' Straw 1r berrys Rumor said that the leaves were large, vividly green all summer,*lhe fruit large aud abundant for a long time, and not dimiuisked by the severest drouths. The plants-were sold-at half a dollar apiece, and were consid ered cheap at that.pric% Attracted by these wonderful stones of thc new fruit, we went to sec it and learn all about it. The plants were iudced beautiful, and the fruit very fine. But our eyts were opeued when Mr. Smith, thc elmer, told us, frankly, that, the plants wore some common sort, the name of which he bad forgotten, but that they were grown on a bed in the corner of his garden, which was made ground fur at least six feet deep\ Why did not this account for the persistent verdure of the foliage and the size and abun dance of thc fruit ? Yet tuc superior beauty . of .the plantsjind berries had attracted much attention in .the neighborhood, and seemed to call for a high-sounding name ; and so Mr. Snith dubbed them the Washington Excelsior. Plainly, this man's strawberry bed was en larged without fencing in more land.-Ameri can Agriculturist. ? Cir LT CRIS OK VKUETAULISS.-There is noth ing we shall want more during thc coming . season than an abundant supply of vegeta bles. The army will need them to preserve its men from scurvy. The people will need them to make np for the inordinate price of meat. It is the duty, as well as thc interest, of everybody-to cultivate t.z l&rge'.a quantity as passible.". There is not a yar;l in any city pr tu|vn which should not be made to con tribute something towards the general store. Among other inducements, il may be 111:11 tioned that vegetables, with few exceptions, are exempted from th?? tithe and that they are not taxed beyond the income Lax on the profits from their sales. A little attention and a'little labor giveu to th's end would do. incalculable good- ^ . ^ Specific for Bugs oft Vines. Having seen by your paper that many truckers in your section ar?^uxious io r.scet; tain a simple and suie remedy to destroy i bugs on squashes, cucumbers and the like, I will give you one which is almost a specific, and within the reach o? every one, especially those living on th 3 sea board.

Manu ring with stable, or hen-roost manure. Sow the lstt)f April-rows two feet and" a half apart-seed two or three inches apart in rows. Plow and hoe like Cotton, keeping weed3 andgrass down. CUTTING.-"When in bloom iu July, cut down audpuftuto barrels. Soak from thirty six lo^.forty-eight hours. Wridf the stalks out; with a* gourd'dip in and stir for one hour; add ley to it until thc mud rises suffi ciently thick, ono gallon of ley to ten of I# dig\> liquor. ??t it alone ten hours, in which time tho mud will bc settled to tue bottom. Remove the mud then from the barrel, put it in a suck, suspend it in the air and" let it re main so until the liquor is all out. Remove thc mud and place it in an earth ern dish, let it get dry in the sun shine, &ad it will keep good a century. TUE DYEING PROCESS_If 3'.ou wish to dye immediately, drain off the^h'quor as before ; put tb? mud ic a pot-to one gallon of wet mud put three or lour of common ley-then, to try it, use some lint, or white thread. Wheu it will dyo thc thread grech it is ready to dye blue. Dip-in your hanks, &nd let them re main about, eight orten days, airing them fifteen minutes each day. Hon Manare. - HOME MADE MANURE.-I found the fob. lowing in, I think, the Southern Planter, and placed it in my receipt book: Hen manure, 3 bushels ; ? Slacked limo, 2 " Plaster, 1 " ? % Suit, 4.quarts." ' " - Mi& and let it lay two or-three weeks, and use it as you would Guano. . If the above should prwe equally valuable with Guano asa fertilizer, then my hens have paid me well for all they have eaten, and I have had the eggs and chickens to boot. . . Ihave saved dry, about 18 bushels of hen manure tbe past year, by having it put in . barrels and set under shelter; and with the addition of 2 bufhels of marl, which I shall use instead of lime,"ir bushel of plaster, and 1 gallon of salt to each 2 bushels of hen ma nure, T shall have 3C bushels of A No. 1 manure, wh?ther you call it guano or not. This, at 70 lbs. to the bushel, which, I think Will be about the weight, will yield me 25,2.0 lbs or one ton and a quarter of tho fertilizer, which, at $50 instead of $07 per ton, is equal tb $62^0 as its value. This pa3's for what my hens eat. But, sa)"s one, how much trouble ?sit? Very little if your fowlsjro&st under a shel ter, and you have a fc.jr.old barrels. Once a week you scrape it up'aud put it in barrels un OCT a 'shed or in any dry place, and in tho spring, about 1st March, make your compost as above described wu ni; plank floor, if you cun, but if not convenient to do this, make it - in any dry place. Sow it broadcast 200 lbs. to the r.cro, or put about a to each-bill of corn, not however in contact with the seed, but spread about in the bili, aiid 1 believe the result will bc all or more than you ex- . peet. ' . . J. E. W. Soap from Palma-Christi. The Chester Standard, referring to'lhe value and virtues of thc Palma-Christi or Cantor Oil plant-which bas been repeatedly brouuht 1 before the readers cf our paper-gives the following new instance : Wc must have soap or we cannot be clean, especially in this l^iny^clime. It is said'that : oue-half,' of our disease, in camp and in" .our cities, originate from filth. Our planters may make sufficient soup for their own une I and have phmty for sale. We learn lija! ] one firm in the State, since thc war commode- ' < ed, has realized one hundred tbousand dollars I speculating on soap alone. < Soii.e months ago, our little boy brought c a few of thc sered in tb? bouse, and for. amuse ment crushed<pmc of them on tho floor. His < mother used every mear.?; to wash out the . greasy spots, but of no avail.' Thc idea .came ? to her mind that sopp could be made from \ tho seed. She bruised a small basket full, i ind placed them in thc pot containing a gill ! lon of very strong Jye, and after considera- J ble boiling, .-.be strained off ibo bulls, and ( succeeded in making as pretty soap o. we t e-ver w?*h to sec.. Its properties fur washing t cannot be excelled. Wc are Informed it may i be hardened by adding a Jittle alum, which wiU'givc it the appearance of bar-soap, gen- , erally purchased from stores. -_-? -?-I KEEPING HOUSES'' FEET AND LEGS IS OB OER.-If I were asked to account for my 1 horses' legs and feet being in, better order 1 than these of my neighbor, I should attrib- 1 ute it to the four following circumstances : j ESrst they arc. all shod with few nails, ?o 1 placed in the.shoe* as to permit thc foot lo 1 expand every t'-me they move; second, that 1 they all live in boxes instead of stalls, and 1 can move whenever they please; third, that ! they haye two hours' daily walking exercise ; when they are not at work; and fourth, that I have not a headstall or track:ch?m in my stall. These four circumstances comprehend the whole mystery of keeping borges' -legs fine, and their feet in sound forking condi tion up to a good old age.-Miles. --?? ? BREAKING STEERS TO THE YOKE.-My plan is (and Ihave broken^a good many) to"break them tho winter before they are two years old. First get them into tho yard; then into a small pen, .so strong that they caunot^rcak' ou*} IhoDrfecd them . cern-uubbing, and ban die them gently. Get thtm yoked, if possi ble, before they are aware of it; then feed them more corn. TBNOW hitch thcyi behind a steady yoke ofrcatt?ej drive them around ? awhijej then feed them mor* corn; now make them fast, and then unyoke them, and foid a lillie more com. Repeat the wholo opera tion the next day twice, morning and even-, ingpdo not forget the coin. Thc third day put them in th* lead. Ilaudle them a little every day, morning and evenine; yoke and unyoke every time, liq not beat them. If yoe cannot make them do us you wish, and get vested with them, do not abuse them, but feed them corn. You will soon bf. able to drive them alone. This'should be done soon, ns they never viii be broken right without. Now, if you have a small sloe!: av.d -a light sled, they will haul enough to feed them; and this will bc enough for thom tw do morning and evening, and they wilWery soon bc quite bandy. But mind, you must give them com every limo you yoko, and enough, until they become quiet, so that you can har.dlc them and got t:p to them in any place, and tbpy never.wiil forget it, but continue quiet ind,, geikle all their lives, EiT?CItlIAM. -1-? ? t"fci ' ^ ...

HOOVE IN CATTLE.-Asp'eodyandBure cure ia giveu by a correspondent of the Farmer and Gui'dencr: " Toke a straw band with a dou ble knut uptfn it ; tar the knot and put it iii the mouth,'tying the band on tho top of the bead ; put two or three'tablcspqorisful of pine tar in the mouth, and the animal will be cur ed in less than ten minutes. Hpovc or foun der in cattle/caused from "eating, too much chop or corn, can be relieved by drenching with one quart of hog's lard; It is sometimes necessary to repeat th? dose iu four hours, if the case ii a bad one. Do not let the ani mal-get to water. If so badly foundered as to lose their hair, they must not be allowed to fun out in the sun when the weather is hot." i CREAM BEER.-An exchange gives, the fol lowing recipe from a correspondent, who states that it makes- arg effervescing drink, but far pleasanter than soda, water, inasmuch as you u?.not have to drink-for -your lifo - in order to get^our money's worths Th? effer vescing ia much jinore slow : .Two ounces tartaric acid; two pounds white sugar; the juice of half a le'mon; three pinta, of watery ' Boil together five minutes.

Take two. tablespoonfuls of this syrup for a tumbler of water, and add one quarter of a tablespoonful of soda. --*? ? Late and Reliable from Gen. Forrest. We had the pleasure of meeting, htat even ing, with Maj. Severson, Chief - Quartermas ter of Get?iForrcst's command, who is visi ting Selma on official business, and to whom we are indebted for many particulars of Gen. Forrest's campaign into Kentucky, which have not appeared in the public prints. Yesterday evening a courier arrived, bring ing despatches from the cpmmand, together with an autograph letter from Gen. Forrest to Maj..Severson, dated the 28th ult., at Jack son, West Tennessee, where bia command were resting after their arduous and success ful campaign, resulting in the captura* of Paducah, Union City, Hickman, and other places, with vast quantities of military store?, which he succeeded iu bringing to his own depots without any serious hindrance.- His whola campaign was a series of triumphs, most important in results, not the least ' of which is tho restored confidence of tho people ?f WeEt,Tennessee, thousands of whom are daily flocking to his standard. In addition teethe military stores captured, Gen. Forrest fought away over 2000 fine hordes and mules. Three hundred of these he found in one Government stable, at Pa ducah, Kentucky'. This surplus ho expects to u:e in equipping his command. The general tenor of the information is to the effect that t he long, languishing spirit of tho people of West Tennessee is fully aroused, aud that in a ?hort time Gtm. Forrest's com mand will be so augmented in numbers as to be invincible against-any force which the en emy can bring agaiuat it. Indeed, there seems to be that prescience of victory, which ac companies his every movement, and which seems to hang about bis very name, that h?.s inspired thtf country with confidence, and his troops io deeds of heroism that scarcely Hud a parallel in the records of chivalry. When he will move, or where he will 6trike the next blow, it is not for us to sa/", but it will be a sad'day for the enemy when he? brings bia legions against those who have so long and so cruelly oppressed them.-Srima Mis hirsippian. Foreign Gossip. The Paris correspondent of the New York IleralH says that Maximilian is going to have secession nobiliiy,'and writes thus about it : Letters Hom Europe report that all kinds of titles of nobility aro to he conferred by Maximilian on the secessionists, who in large numboi's attend him from Paris to Mexico. Dr. Gwin is to bc a Duke. Perhaps this would interfere with a little plan which our Southern friends in Paris state had been ar ranged for providing ? good berth for Dr. Ci win, and securing thc recognition of the 1 Southern Confederacy by the new Mexican iuipire, and the Tormal inn pf an offensive and lefensive alliance between the two countries. The Doctor, 1 have been several times inform al within the past week, is to accompany thc Archduke to Mexico in the capacity of a jap eral counsellor and adviser. The doctor. Wno is a huge property holder in Texas, and s supposed to have considerable inlluencu .herc, bus frequently, reconinundcd the ces- 1 lion of this Stste ol* the Confederacy, or rath jr " reanimation" to Mexico as the price of , hi? league.' It was for this, if for any thing, hat tbu.doctor was to -accompany the. Arch- \ luke tc ITis new empire. The Londou correspondent of theNew York Herald records thc mQvemcut:; of Confederate Commissioner Mason, as follows : It is to be noted in connection wfth those movements that Mr. Mason, the Southern 1 Oomniiigiotier, hns been instructed to return to London. There is a rumor of some new liploinatic movement of tho* Emperor, and, in spite of thc news of the Federal victories, , Lhe Confederate stock is rising, and is being xxchuaged for the Mexican, lt is said, with . , a. degree of confidence which certainly sur prises, that Mexico auifFrance will aud must acknowledge the independence of tho Con- , fed?rate States. I do not sec the grounds for the assertion, aud it mny rest entirely upon suppoied necessity-tho necessi ty of in terposing a friendly power bctweou the Mex ican limpiro and the great Northern Repub lic-the uecessity for a balance of .power on the Western continent. A recent letter from Pam relates thc an-, nexed incident about the Prince Napoleon: At tuc last reception at the Tuillerios, the Emperor was conversing with some one on the Ame?can war, when h'.s little son ap proached. " Prince," said the Emperor, ''you have never heard of the Americaii war", have you ?" " Oh, yes," Sftid the royal scion. "Well, which side are j pu in favor of ?" asked the Emperor." " I take the side of the Confeder ates," replied lhe child. 14 Why BO ?" said the Emperor. " Because they are the weak est, and light the beat," said the boy, The Paris correspondent ?>f the London Star does nut "admiro the Tiew empress of Me.-ico. Hear him : ? The future empresa of Mexico is not at all - handsome. Sho iff* very round sho?ldercd, and. of myal build and physiognomy, although 1 have boen told by persona who.-have been presented to her that she ii? not devoid either of sense or wit.
