jf;iniiers' ?f ?itii; Agricultural PublicationSi Oar copies of the tour following Agri en i I ii ral journals for January, were re ceived in the early part of the month, and we have examined their vaned contents with no litt ic pleasure. 1. Tho '''Southern Cultivator" has entered its Uventy-lifth year with renewed energy,.-and ? determunition to maintain its high position among the Agricultural publications of thc day. its new Editors and Proprietors, Mr WM. JONES and Dr. W. I.. JONES, arc certainly the "right men, iii the right place." Under their able management, and indisputable Agri cultural lore, the Cultivator will undoubt edly improve with each succeeding num ber. It purports to be "A Practical and Scientific Newspaper, for the Plantation, the Garden and the Family Circle." And M? h ii is, all will admit. We, speaking I". >r ourselves, consider it in valuable on every Farm <>r Plantation, a ?eliable guide in thc Kitchen Garden, the Fruit Garden or the Flower Garden, and a pleasant and instructive companion in the Family Circle. Indeed, thc Cultivator is above all praise, and every Southern tiller of the soil who fails to subscribe to, and attentively study the many useful l?sons taught in this monthly, .falls far short in protecting and enhancing his own interest.

We notice in the January number the following card from ihe Editors : " The Farm <? Gar den is a practical Monthly Magazine, of '2 i pages (exclusive of advertisements,) double columned, devoted entirely to the interests of thc Farmer and the Gardener, it is the only Agricultural Paper pub lished in South Carolina, and its Editors are determined to make it worthy of the South." We hope the Editors will suc ceed in their ctibrls, and the better to en able them to do so, would say to those who feel disposed to aid in building up a first class agricultural journal in this State, to send on -st.00, for the "Farm rfc Garden" one year, to J. R. JACOBS CV* Co., Clinton, S. C. For the Advertiser. Practical Economy. How a large amount of Money can be made hy the people of Edgefield Dis trict ivithout any outlay. Is it true ? Mr.. EDITOR : This is a short chapter on dogs, and was suggested by a big fat. sleek, worthless cur in my own yard. According to the United States Census for 1S50, which is before me, there were in Edgefield District in 1850,2,030 farms. It is probable that there are now, in 1S6S, at least 3000 farms in Edgefield District. It may bc safely assumed as a fact, that every farm has at least one dog on it as an average ; for if there be some farms without a dog, for every such farm there are two with from two to four dogs. Al lowing one dog to a farm, makes an ag gregate of 3000 dogs in the District, ii the census of the dogs were actually taken it is highly probable thc number would be found to be nearer 10,000 than 3000. Rut for our purpose we will assume the number of dogs in the District to be 3000. Now, Mr. EDITOR, it may further he safely assumed that what will keep a dog in good condition for a year, will raise a pig that will weigh 200 pounds gross. If we got rid of the dogs and substitute ho"s in their stead, we have 3000 hoff.? weighing each 200 pounds gross, ecpml to f.00,000 pounds of gross pork, which, at 10 eents per pound, is equal to $00,000 without the outlay of a dollar. Nor is this all, for if we take the trou ble to enter into a minute account, it will "be found that there are several large items of profit which have not entered into the above estimate. These 3000 dogs if killed would save to the District $3000 of Taxes, (see Gen. CAXBT'S tax order) while the 3000 hogs substituted fur them, with proper care, in the course of the year, will make at least 8000 loads of good manure, worth $3000. Then it may be assumed, also, that each dog will destroy and injure stock to the value of one sheep, worth in the aggre gate ?3000. The account may then be stated thus : G00,000 lbs sross Dork at 10 cts. - ?00,000 Taxes on oOOO dogs at $1. - - - 3,000 Value of 300? Sheep saved which would bf: destroyed by dogs. - 3,000 Value of 3u0? loads ramure a.t ?l. 3,000 Value of 3000 dog skins at 33?c l.OOO Making in thc aggregate. - - . $70,000 Is it true that ?70,000 may be saved to the people of Edgefieid District so easily ? And will we, in the light of such facts, continue to give our children's bread to the dogs ? ET CUI BONO. Stabling Uni Horse. If our fanners would reflect for a mo ment on their erroneous mode of stabling in this country, they would not be sur prised at occasionally having a sick horse to treat, but should rather wonder how their stoc k escaped so well. Some haye their stables too close, which Obliges the horse to breathe over and over again con fined air, made poisonous by the emana tions from the filthy accumulations of urine, eec. The horse is taken from this wann stable, with the pores of his skin open, and suddenly plunged into a chilly rain or snow, to stand in the pasture, or be worked for twelve hours, ile is then brought to his stable, where he must again, for twelve, hours, breathe an air confined and polluted with the ammonia from the filth and urine of hts stall. But, in this country, the. converse usu ally collins. After the day's labor is over, and the horse heated and wet with perspiration, we turn biro into his stable, where the scarcity of boards, and the im mense size of the cracks between the logs, of which his stable is built, permit the cold wind, rain, and snow, to pelt the poor animal through the. night, while he iies, attempting to sleep, in cold mud and urine half way up his side. The conse quence is. he is completely chilled through, and rises next morning much exhausted by his night's suffering. When the blood is circulating freely, and ail at once the horse is subjected to ibis sudden, severe degree of c<?ld, the circulation is suddenly driven lo internal organs, and, as the lungs are most plenti fully supplied with blood-ve.-si.-ls, and have already been irriiatcd by breathing those stenches of hartshorn, ??e., from the sta ble, we are not surprised to find coughs, colds, and Pneumonia, occasionally. But, if the. horse escape disease, do not accuse him of being au unthrifty animal if he should lose flesh, and his coat should look a little rough ; but, ou the contrary, if ho should be troubled with weak eyes, mange, scratches, or an occasional fit of the colic, wc should not be surprised. What I wish to inculate is, the impor tance of keeping the horse, as well as oth er domestic animals, in as uniform a tem perature as possiolc, especially avoiding i'McWew-.ehanges. The stables should be well ventilated-kepi free from mud and the cold, rainy v, iuds of Winter should be excluded. An over heated horse should never be stabled wet, but rubbed dry ; and, if the weather is severe, a blanket should be thrown over him while he is cooling; and a fresh supply of straw occasionally thrown into his stall, will greatly add to his comfort. If cu e be taken in this way, and our animals regularly fed and watered, we will keep our stock in order on one-third less feed than we make use of under thc pres ent system ; and. while our stock would enjoy a comparative immunity from dis ease, our consciences would surely rest isier.-lt. J. GAGE, Scc'ry State .Ag ricultural Society of S. Carolina. Facts iii Agriculture. All suils upon which clover and grass grow, must contain lime, either naturally, or by artificial application. It makes very little difference, whether it bc added as lime stone, shell lime or marl. All permanent improvements of the soil must depend upon lime as their foun lation. Lands which have been under cultiva tion a long time will he greatly improv ed by manuring 1 lone-dust, Guano, Phos phate of lime, Compost of fish, Ashes, Shell lime, or Marl, in case the ground is deficient in lime. No lund can bc kept in a high condi tion of fertility, unless occasionally plant ed in clover or grass, as crops of rota tion. All highly concentrated animal ma nures are much improved in value, and made of more permanent benefit by mix ing them with pulverized charcoal. Deep ploughing improves, and mate rially raises the productive power oflands which are wet. Subsoil ploughing is also considered salutary on ground that is not of a wet nature. All wet ground must be thoroughly drained. Grain fields should bc cut several day? before the grain is fully ripe. Clover, and grasses intended for hay, should be cut in full bloom. Sandy lands may be much improved by adding clay. If the soil is to be lim ed or marled aiso, the lime.or marl may be most effectively applied as a compost with the clay. Salt lye is better lor slacking lime than water. Previous malting or grinding corn which is fed to cattle, effects a saving of at least 27) per cent. The draining ob wet land increases its value, since it causes it to produce a lar I ger and heavier crop, and brings it ear lier to maturity, and besides improves the healthfulness of the neighborhood. Six measures of plaster sown broad cast in thc morning on clover will ?necease i he yield 100 per cent. Perodical applications of ashes, serves to keep lands in their fuh strength. The highest possible cultivation of the soil is necessary for thc successful and abundant development of thc crop. Cn-ps carnot be realized in abundance, through a succession of years, unless care mr taken to return to the ground an equiv alent for those things taken away in tl.e products. To keep meadows up to their fall pro duct)veness, they should be harrowed, have manure scattered over them, and rolled, every other fall.-farm & Gar- . den. 11 ! ??f* If you invest money in tool?, and leave them exposed to the weather, it is the same as lending money to a spend thrift aud requiring no security,-you are sure to meet with nothing but a dead loss.

Manure-Concentrated or Special; &c. This is a class of manures that are de rived from a different source than the common stable or yard manure of the farm ; and arc valuable as aids, to stimu late or start an early growth, in connec tion with the ordinary farm manure. They should'?ccupy--lo usc a pardonable il lustration-the same, or similar, relation to thc crops and soil, that the side dishes of the gentlemen's dinner table do lo the eater of the dinner ; very much more ben efit, accruing when used in conjunction with common manure, as generally they act as stimulants-their action not being so lasting" as thc other, and from their very nature riot capable bf producing the same action on the soil that ordinary farm manure does. All manures of every description may be classed under two different heads or classes, as organic and inorganic-the former consisting of animal and vegeta ble substances, and the latter of mineral matter; each acts upon the soil in vari ous ways, and on different soils different ly, inorganic manures furnish nourish ment to plants, and also act mechanically and chemically upon thc soil, the same as, although m somewhat different degree from, organic manures. The good to be derived from a manure applied, depends largely upon the condi tion of the soil in regard to moisture, as well as its mechauical condition; for ma nures can only be received, as food for plants, in solution, and a suitable degree of moisture is essential to this ; otherwise the manure remains inactive in the soil. Also, if thc soils be filled with water, needing drainage, and cold, so that de composition cannot proceed-or, if pro ceeding, very slow-plants derive little benefit from manure in the soil, however well filled. So if the mechanical condi tion be unfavorable, other circumstances being favorable, the soil should be fine and porous, so that thc atmospheric ac tion will be free among its particles, to warm and moisten them, thus aiding and assisting the putrefactive process of de caying substances of the soil, as also the chemical chances going on in the mineral matters of the soil. We find a variety of fertilizers-or claimed as such-in the market, such as the various brands of guano, flour of bone, bone meal, superphosphate of lime, muri ate of lime, sulphates and nitrates of pot ash, soda and ammonia, fish guano, pou drettes, etc. Without doubt they all con tain, more or less, of some principle which is valuable to the agriculturist ; but too many of them do not furnish it in suffi cient quantity to warrant the economical farmer in paying its market price. If he cannot depend upon thc market, what is he to do? I believe^we have heretofore pointed out resources sufficient, which, if taken full advantage of, will, with a small supplement from thc market of such as is known and proved to bc good, keep our farms improving, if properly applied, in connection with thorough culture and ro tation, so as to produce maximum crops. I believe the farmer will find it more economical to expend the same amount in time and labor in preparing his own fertilizers, than to expend the money for those of the market. PREPARATION OF DOMESTIC POUDRETTE. -In the prepaiation of poudrette, would bo pursue the course recommended in a former late article, he would have a bet ter article than any the market affords, and if he wishes to add more, let him col lect-it can usually be had fur the gath ering-the night soil from the neighbor ing village or city, and compost it with muck, loam, sods, ?ce., under cover; it ;an be done principally during cold or winter weather, and this is better than much of the poudrette 1 have seen man ufactured. There is a manufactory-on a limited cale-of this article within a few miles of me, which has stood well where it has been used, and n few years since was pro nounced good, after analysis by Prof. Johnson ; but the mode-which is the usual plan pursued-of preparation, sub jects it to making a somewhat variable article. The night soil is collected dur ing the winter from the neighboring city, and drawn in close watertight boxes on wheels or runners, as the travelling may be, and stored in tanks sunk into the ground undercover, and the poudrette prepared during thc following season. There is a suitable area in the open air, covered with a floor of boards and plank, on which the poudrette is prepared ; this floor is covered with muck which has been previously dug from a neighboring bed, and laid to drain and become some what ameliorated, to the depth of two to four inches ; over this i3 spread from buck ets, the liquid night soil from the tanks the majority stored being liquid-which is readily absorbed, after which it is turn ed over and stirred, when another quanti ty of night soil is applied and worked as before. No means of testing the pou drette are used, except a certain rule of applying about so much of the soil to each spreud of the muck. Now if a show er comes up, which is often the case, dur ing tho time of these manipulations, the fertilizing matter is washed out of this, being spread thin over so larue an area. Sometimes a shower comes on just as tile poudrette is ready for thc screen ; such poudrette is of little valuo-a rea son ol'its variableness in part, frequently. A fiirmer making his own will add a greater quantity muck, (Sec., and keep thc rains oil', which will give it a greater val ue in amending the soil where applied. If he wishes it in less bulk, more concen trated, it can bc easily made as hcieto-. fore described. If a gocd bone phosphate is desired, it san be easily prepared and at a small ex pense, as this, for old pastures and many :>ther purposes, makes one of ihe best ?rtilizers for the purpose-no one special nanure can be best for all purposes and ?onditions. Woolen rag3, waste hair and lorns, make other valuable articles for special manures and the compost heap.. American Farmer. fy^/T The London Glube says a man lamed Charl ier triiks the notion that torses need shoes entirely wrong. Ile limself does not 3ut a horse's hoof. Ile nerdy protects it against violent blows pe and accidents, and against the wear and tear of the Paris pavement, by placing it in a thin circle of iron, which wards it from danger without compressing it. In this way the horse stands upon a healthy member instead of upon one which is be ing constantly wounded by the iron and knife of the smith. Besides thc econo my of this reform, it is expected to make hoof diseases infrequent. ? ? ?--. CHAPPED HANDS.-The discomfort and annoyance of chapped hands is very great, and might be avoided if people would take proper care in drying their hands af ter washing them. Cold cream is a very good remedy for this and other cutaneous irritations, and the following recipe will enable any one to prepare it where the article cannot be procured at the shops: -Melt together in a water bath (that is, a vessel immersed in boiling water, like a carpenter's glue pot) eight ounces \f fine neat's-foot oil or almond oil, three ounces of spermaceti, and one and a half ounces of white wax ; when thoroughly melted pour the whole into a pan, which, in winter, must bc kept very warm by the fire ; then, with a clean, flat stick, beat thc mass continually until it is uni form in body ; pour in a half a pint of rose or orange flower water, and one-fourth of cn ounce of spirit of bergamot, or any other perfume desired ; then beat rapidly again until the whole of the water and spirit is taken up by the unctous portions. If runde in winter, all the materials must be warmed os mixed, or the mass will be lumpy. Lard or sweet oil may be sub stituted for the almond oil. If caro is ob served, the mass will be as white as snow.-Scientific American.
