J. BERCKOIAKS. Thc . suicidal system of Agriculture which has for generations past been prac ticed in this country, has brought immense qnantities of land to such a degree of exhaustion tis to compel their owners to abandon them and seek newer lands, which, after a few years of cropping un der the same method, are also abandoned, and left to add more to the already too large waste. If a sounder and more ra tional system Iud been practiced, the re sults would have been far different, and t<>-day we would see lands teeming with plenty, instead of the wreck-of that which nature provided for man's support. -It is evident that if this system is continued much longer, few generations more will be able to suifsist in the older sections of .his and similarly situated States. Ne cessity will then compel them to either aBaucfon thc exhausted lands, to remove to a more fertile region, or to adopt a system of Agriculture that will ameliorate the old lands, and bring them again in a state of fertility. The means of doing this are ample, and at hand. All that is needed is the will, and a judicious knowl edge of what constituents a soil requires, in order to produce remunerative crops. The object of thc Agriculturist must then be, to produce such fertilizers as will give to the land the parts deficient. Manures e divided into organic, (vege table and animal,) which are the least permanent; carthy, which are the most permanent ; and saline, which being readily rfbsorbed by plants, have a period of duration in the soil longer than the organic, but less than the earthy. In or der to better explain these different ma nures, I must make four classes: The Natural, such as marl, muck, pond mud, etc. ; . ? Tho Animal, such as are produced by the cattle ; The purely Yebetable manures, and the Chemical-tue first three classes being within the immediate reach of al! agrieul turists, must be their main'reliance. The different soils, requiring different fertilizers, accoring to their constituents, must first be described, in order to eluci date the subject : Sandy Soils.-This class being pre dominant in this section, should receive our attention first. In an arid sandy soil, such plants can only thrive, which draw fron, the atmosphere, by the porosity ol their leaves or sterns, that nourishment which they cannot receive by their roots. Rye is the only cereal that can vegetate in such a soil, in a sandy soil, mixed with other soil not classed as arid, oats and summer barley as cereals, and peas potatoes and turnips can be produced : j* the soil is made richer by fertilizers, it can produce com, cotton, wheai, etc. The proper fertilizers for this class of soil* are the animal and vegetable manures, which?bring to it the vegetable fibre, found here deficient. Clay Soils.-Stiff* clay soils, of a cold nature, are not susceptible of giving good results, from the raising of cereal crops. They are best calculated for pastures this being the least expensive and surest method to derive a certain profit from them. If the grasses are too short to be cut for hay, they afford a rich pasture. Lime will be found the best fertilizer, as it disintegrates the soil ; vegetable fibre and sand are the other parts necessary to make them fertile. Clay soils, enriched with these fertilizers, will retain the fer tilizing principles longer than sandy soils and produce in perfection corn, wheat, winter barley, clover, etc. Such soil> are generally considered too rich fur rye and potatoes. A sandy loam, containing the proper parts of clay and sand, is the most desirable of all tor general agricul tural purposes, and in it ate grown the best potatoes, cow-peas, corn and cotton. Alluvial Soils.-These require work more than fertilizers-the best are lime, ashes, marl, and others of same nature. These being the different soils generally found in this section, and having been pointed out, wc will now return to the manures. Natural.-Lime in some foi m. must be the basis o? every system of improve ment'; but it is futile to attempt to build up the constitution of any worn-out land, without the aid pf some nutritive manure Lime not being found in this section, must be brought from a distance ; but even at a cost of 25 to 40 cents per bushel, de livered on the land, it will.be found re munerative. The best method* to use it. is by slaking it with good earth or muck, instead of using water,- or leaving to the atmosphere to perfoi m the process. By slaking with earth, there is less loss by evaporation. If salt is used in the slaking process, the fertilizing properties of the lime are increased, by forming necessary constituents of all fertile soils, Chloride of Lime and Carbonate of Soda. Lime should be used as a top-dressing, and never mixed with manures containing ammonia, as it will drive off* the latter. Burnt Clay renders strong clay lands less tenacious, and improves acid soils. Plaster of Paris or Gypsum, being an absorbent of Am monia, is principally used as such. It should be used in all stables, so as to fK the ammonia, atyj preserve that which otherwise evaporates iii d is lost to the farmer. These three fertilizers, not being strictly natural, arc produced with so lit tle trouble-and the first really indispen sible-that I have been obliged to bring them under this head. Muck.-Almost every fartn has some deposit of muck or leaf mould, formed by the accumulation of leaves and other vegetable matter. This should be saved by all- means. If the deposit is acid, an addition of Lime will improve it. Marl.-The nature of the mari of the Savannah river being cal careous, is not very soluble, and is there fore of comparative little value, especial ly if it has to be carried far .The phpsphatic lasrl is the riebest of all natural fertilizers. Animal Manura are the main-slaj ot - progressive A gricul tu r?: "' By* far io tie attention is paid to their produ and "se. Although the tenn animai nure, strictly speaking, is only such formed by the excrements of ani and the decomposition of their bodie different methods, it is generally ap to manured produced by the excren of animals, and the admixture of si leaves or any other vegetable nil used as litter, and it has receivec name of stable or yard manure, quality depends much upon the food ? to the cattle and upon the nature oj litter used. The richer the food, the ri will be the mamin5-. produced. The< fault with nine-tenths of the farmers, undervalue stable in mune, and to v lt by allowing it to remain expose small dispersed quantities, to the a< <?f the sun and rain, thereby allowhi fertilizing properties to evaporate. C should be stabled or penned in sm places than ii generally done. "W and oat straw, feak leaves, hay, gra other vegetable matter, should ba fr used for litter. Avoid pine saw-du: pine shavings, all being injurious to land, by the resinous principle they tain. Better burn them and apply ! ashes upon the land. Corn, inste* beir.g harvested in the manner genei practiced by pulling off the leaves sh be cut off near the ground, and the si used in making manure. Repeated e rier.ce has shown conclusively that t is less loss by shrinkage in the grain being harvested in the latter mode by pulling the fodder. We I ave it; corn-stalks one of the best and i abundant of raw materials to opt with. Manure should be collected e Jay or two in as large heaps as pos; -thc surface made.-smooth, so as to as little chance for evaporation as"pos; -the outside covered with earth, or under cover. The best method is, to 1 large quantities of muck or leaf mc or goud rich carib brought'tn thev and the manure daily mixed with a lion of it. Every load of fresh man mixed with ^hece or four .loads of n, under cover will dause each load of mass to become equal to its bulk of c manure, for purposes cf fertilization ' arises from thc escaping gases givei from the manure during fermentai being absorbed by -the divisor. ]$ soil being produced from the richest f contains the largest quantity of f?rtil! principies, lt can be used with the results upon all crops. Those with i cate nerves can use it under the nam Ifoudrette, but this article is easily dueed by using liberal quantities of c coal dust and gypsum-ceasing it lo all obnoxious smell by fixing the ammo The excrements of fowls are als rich fertilizer-that from pigeons bc the strongest. It is equal to half its qi tity of guano, if kept under cover, latter being an animal manure, ard w pure, of a highly concentrated natl may be used to advantage on any lai but if impropdly applied, it either < troys the crop or loses its fertilizing pi erties. The purely Vegetable manures, con of vegetables ploughed under, in a gr state. Cow-peas arc one of the best pla at our command.. Cabbages sown v thickly come next, but Clover of Lue is superior to either. If Lime is c venient, it is advisable to spread fr thirty to fifty bushels of slaked comp lime to the acre, before plowing the ci in. This method, where other manu are not obtainable, will be found an ci and certain one to ameliorate our lan especially such coils as are deficient vegetable fibre. * A Ono maxim should govern theprqgr of the Agriculturist, and that is, that order to keep his land in a constant sti .?f fertility, he must re place in fertilizi parts every year as he removes from in the form of produce; but an incret of fertility can only be gained when m< i's added than is taken away. The gr< fault with our planters, is to use manu when used, upon land not prepared ir form to .receive it. Deep ploughing essential.' In general, all manures cc raining ammonia should be plowed in the others, containing salts, should used as-a top-dressing. The former i capes-the latter penetrates.-Communk led from Transactions of the JRichmo, County (Ga.) Ag'I Society. Rules for Farmers. 1. Thc farmer ought to rise early, see that others do so, ?nd that both li example bc followed and his orde obeyed. 2. Thc whole farm should be regular! inspected, aud not only every field exati ?ned, but every beast seen at least oirce day. 3. In a considerable farm it is of tl utmost consequence to have hands specia ly appropriated for each of the most in portant departments of labor, fbr thei is often ti great loss of time, where pe: sons are frequently changing their cur ploymen'.s, abd the work is not execute so well. 4. Every means should- be thought c to diminish labor or to increase its ppwei For instance, by proper arrangement, fiv horses may do as much labor as six per i form, according to the usual mode of em j ploying them. 5. A farmer ought never to engage ii a work, whether of ordinary practice Ol i intended improvement, except after th< most care'ful inquiries ; hut when begun he ought to proceed in it with much at cention and perseverance until he has given it a fair trial. 6. It is a main object in management not to attempt too much, and never to begin a work without a probability of being able to finish it in due season. 7. Every farmer should have a book for inserting all those useful hints which are so frequently occurring in conversa tion, in books, in papers, and gathered in the course of his reading, or in a practical management of his farm.-Sinclair, -? ? .?-; Importance of Bulk in Feed, Although the presence of a sufficient quantity of nutritive matters in the feed is naturally the most fundamental matter for consideration, its bulk is scarcely'less important. The function of digestion re quires that the feed shall properly fill the stomach, and" however large the supply of nutritive matters may be, their effect is imperfectly brought "about jf thc feed be too small in bulk ; and it actually be comes more valuable if diluted "with woody fibre, or some other inert sub stance. On thc other hand, if feed be too bulky, the sense of repletion causes the animal to cease eating long before it has obtained a sufficient supply of nutri tive matter. It is most necessary, there fore, to study the bulk of the feed, and to consider how to mix the different sub stances in such i manner as to adjust the proportions of nutritive matter to their bulk. If we examine the nature of the mixed feeds most in vogue amow; feeders, it will most generally be found u?at very bulky feed is combined with another of opposite properties. Hence turnips, the ' most bulley of all ktrids of' feed; "are used along with oil cake or bone meal ; and if, from any circumstance, it becomes ne cessary to replace a large amount of tur nips, by the latter substance, the deficient bulk must be replaced by hay or straw. -Prof. Anderson. . \ From, tho Sou thorn Cultivator. .' What We Must Do. EniTGKS SoUTHERH CULTIVATOR :- As there has been a great revolution in oilr political status, so there must Bc in our agricultural. We must improve our lands -make a few acres produce what num bers did under our old system of labor. The sword is now for awhile turned into plough-shares, and we should diligently u^e them, to devclope the hidden treasures of our waste arid deso?ate fields. There must also be a change in our .educational-system. Agricultural Chem istry, too much nbgiecfed in all our schools, should now be a regular text book. Its light, and I might say its bles-, sings, should be diffused among our farm ers, and correct scientific knowledge should characterize all their farming op erations. . We would by no means neglect the classics ; but a practical knowledge of Chemistry should be attained by every one. The natural requirements of vari ous soils should be well-understood ; and this c'an be accomplished, by affording a good living patronage to a well-conducted agricultural journal. Without patronage, one cannot exist. It must die, and go the way of the earth. Georgians .should not now become* uneasy about the political world. The fiat has gone forth and we cannot change it. It must be so. Instead of. learning politics, and spending ^o much money for reading niatter that only tends' to exeite and exasperate, let us divide our patronage, and for every political journal wc take, let us subscribe for two agricul tural ones. Politics should not be our study. Let us leam how to resuscitate, rejuvenate and improve our impoverished country. This is the most important lesson for us now to learn. Let us sub mit to the " powers that be," and make our beloved Georgia bloom as the rose. Let us raise more corn-have more ba con-more lard-more wheat-more every thing else in the way of diversified crops. Let us "live at home, and board at the same placei" It is the cheapest way to live. Aman who now makes aplenty to eat-who can pay his debts-his taxes -i's, indeed, a character to be envied. Let. us all be good, loyal citizens, and more than loyal to our farming interests. Let us do thisMand wc will command the good-will of all thinking men. Davine: alluded to the revolution of our social system, lhere must be some change in parental training. This is necessary ; the times demand it; the prosperity of the country calls for it; the best interests of the rising generation plead for it. Wc allude to the great wuinia of Southern parents for transforming their .sons into lawyers, doctors and merchants. .These professions are necessary, but not more so than that of farming. Gentlemen of leisure should now come forth from their downy couches, and rise willi the morn ing's sun. Some of them should learn how to hold the plough handles, and to follow them. It is productive of a good conscience. Our fast, fashionable, pretty, 1 smart, and promising boys, should lay aside their cigars, and endeavor to invest more sense in their heads than cents on their backs. Let them do this, and they might, each and every one of them, afiord to take an agricultural journal. Instead of riding in buggies before their father's .wagons to market, let them get into the saddle and drive. By doing this they would save a hotel bill, and perhaps in vest no funds in the faro bank. This mode of travel would make them strong. Let them eat home victuals at the camp, and their digestive organs will bc much improved. They would, by this means avoid head-ache, and many bad feelings incidental to buggy transportation. Bug gy transportation sometimes produces a swimming in the head, and very often a depletion of the pocket. In otbeT words, let boys stand in. boy's shoes, and not wait for their parent's. It is unsound logic. Let us not make our sons lawyers whether they have the brains or not. This costs much money, and there is no profit in it. If one has a talent for law, let him be a Blackstone-if he has really a pas sion for thc anvil, let him smash iron and be a Blacksmith. This will give him a strong set of arms, a good stomach, and a distaste for fashionable, luxurious living. He then can eat meal and greens, and if thc latter be scarce, he would not faint on potatoes. It will give him a good ap petite. We.say again?, if he has the tal ent for law, let him go to thc bar, but avoid the bar with a blind before the door -evil spirits abound behind that blind. If he has a fondness for the ministry, be certain that his heart be rightly educated, in order that he may successfully wage war against his Satanic Majesty. If for mathematics, let him study- it thoroughly. We would, therefore, advise parents to cultivate the prominent and predomina ting faculties of their children, provided they be laudably directed. It is a very difficult matter to manufacture boys with out brains into great men. It can't be done. Nature sometimes cuts out patterns for their future dresses, and very often they are spoilt in makhig up. ONE EYE. ! Cusseta, Chattahoochee county, Ga. . Improvement in Farming. Timothy Titcomb, in his Rural Life, says-" The improvements made in farm ing implements, have not boen made by farmers themselves, but by outsiders mechanics and men of science-who have marveled at the brainless stupidity which toiled on in its old track of unreasoning routine, and looked with -suspicion and discouragement upon innovations.N The reason why the farmer has not been fore most in improving the instruments and methods of his own business is, that his mind has been unfitted 'for improvement by the excessive labors of his body. 'A man whose whole vital energy directed to to the support of muscle, has, of course, none to direct to the support of thought. *A man whose strength is habitually ex hausted by labor,. becotnes,-at length, in capable of mental exertion ; and 1 cannot help feeling that half the farmers in the country establish insuperable obstacles to their own improvement by their excessive toil. They are nothing more than the living machines of a calling whioh so fat exhausts their vitality that they have neither disposition nor power to improve either themselves or their calling. * * * There is no doubt about thc fact that a life whose whole energies arc expended in hard, bodily labor is such a life as God never intended man should live. "lam perfectly aware that'I am not revealing pleasant'truths. Wc are much in the habit of glorifying rural life, and praising tho intelligence and virtue of rural populations ; and if they believe us they cannot receive this with^ pleasure. But the question which most interests them is not whether these statements are trae, is the philosophy sound? ?oes? severe and constant tax on the muscular system repress mental development and tend to make life hard . and homely and unattractive V Is this the kind of life generally which the American farmer leads ? Is not the American farmer, gen erally, a man who bas sacrificed a'/ree and full mental development, and all his finer sensibilities and affections, and a generous and genial family and social life, and the dignities and tasteful proprie ties of a well-appointed .home, to the sup port of his muscles'? There are instances of a better life than this among farmers, and I should not have written this if those instances had not proved that this ever lasting 'devotion to Jabor is unnecessary. There are farmers who prosper in their calling and do not become stolid-whose homes are the abodes of refinement, whose watchword is improvement, and whose aim is to elevate their calling.. If there is a man on the earth whom 1 hon estly-honor, it is a farmer who has bro ken" away fronvhis slavery lo labor, and applied his mind to his soil. . "Mind must be the emancipator of the farmer. Science, intelligence, machinery -these mus? liberate the bondman of the soil from his long- slavery. ( ?When I look back and see what has been done for farming within my brief memory, I am full ot .hope for the future. The plough, - under the hand of science, has become a new instrument. The horse now hoes the corn, mows th? grass, rakes the hay j reaps, threshes, and winnows the wheat ; and every year adds new machinery to the farmers stock, tb supersede the clum sy implements which once bound him to his hard and never ending toil. When a farmer begins to use machinery and to study the. processess bf other men, and to apply his'mind to farming so far as he can make it take the place of muscle, then he illuminates his calling with a new light, and lifts himself into the dignity of a man." ---1 Oxioxs AND INSECTS.-The Scottish Farmer, in alluding to the fact that most insects have a strong repugnance to onions suggests that a wash ol onion juice, or of water ra which onions have been bruised, might prove useful as a wash for plants infested'with insects.
