Letter from Mr. David Dickson We take the liberty of publishing following extract from a private lette: Mr. Dickson to us, which accompan the communication below : " With . present business, 1 cannot answer priv letters, and at the same time contrib t?> the Cultivator. VI hat I do, the re ft must be for the benefit of all throi your paper. I repeat, from actual obi vation, that nearly one half of the Agri< tural labor of Georgia is thrown aw from want of knowledge und skill in application. There is as much for fanner to learn about the usc of the pl and hoe, as there is for the painter, c< cerning the use of the brush." EDITORS SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR : There is a great demand for mc lo write my plan of cultivating corn, p paration of laud, manure, &c, by n subscribers, and by persons that are 1 subscribers to your paper. In the first place, I refer them to i system of improvement, rest and rotatii given in the -Southern Cultivator li year. Many inquire, what is the prof time to break up land.* I write for t latitude, and every person must ina due allowance, as his farm may bc Noi or South of this line. The plowing nu be commenced the first d >y of Januai to get it done in time, or as soon as y are done sowing wheat. If I had ri choice, and .could get all the work do in one day, J would not have the plowi done more than ten days before piantin for the following reasons, derived fro actual experience: If it is a dry, co freezing winter aud spring, the fall plo ing is the best ; in some springs of tl kind, as those of 1S39 and 1?G4,1 h belts through the middle of a field, whi< were not plowed until a few days befo planting, and 1 could distinguish the bel ?.I! through the year-the corn in the being from 16 to 2'2 inches lower tht the re*t. For the crop and the improv ment of the laud, in about one winter oi of seven, fall plowing is the best. In tl cases where the belts were left, when tl winter was wann and rains abundant, th late plowing would beat the early plov ing twenty-five per cent in the crop ; bi sides, according to my experience, thei is less loss from washing. Land mus be well broken before planting, so con: menee in time to do it-the later it i done the better for the land, taking seve years together, but not quite so good fa terms. Have good turning plows, and accorc ino- to your ability, use one or two horse: and sub soil ; ride over the field, and la off the land so that the horses will g round on a level, and thc dirt will fal down hill-a team will break up the soi nine inches deep in this way, as easily a they could seven inches, on a level pie? of land. Continue to take the lands ii the same way until thc field is finished one team following another-all the timi going round the circle ; and if you sub soil, have ohe team between each turninj plow, running in the bottom of the fur row. When you fini-ih, the field is read) for planting, if the proper time has arriv ed. In deciding this point, you must b< governed by the weather-it varies fron thc 10th of March to the 1st day of April According to ny experience, a man onlj gains bard work and more of it, by vcr) early planting. Now for thc planting. Lay off fur rows with a long shovel plow, on a level, seven feet apart. Commence at the op posite end, with a longer shovel, and open out the same furrow. The reason for this K y?u gtft up to trees and stumps, and make a better finish at the ends? This furrow should stand open sefcen or eight inches deep. Whether you use compost, cotton seed or guanos, let each hand have his three-foot measure, and deposit the manure in the bottom of the furrow, just three feet apart. Then drop the .corn within three or four inches of the ma nure, one or more grains, as is your cus tom-dropping on the near side of the manure, as the dropper goes ; then, with a very light harrow, cover the corn one or one and a half inches deep. The har row should go the same way the drop per does, to keep from pulling the manure on the grain. If you cover deep,"you Io9e all the ad vantages of low planting, (but not the deep breaking,) and for this reason : corn, in good weather, will come up from a depth of one to six inches, but will strike out roots about one inch from the surface of the ground, and all below that will . perish. That is one reason why I am opposed to dirting corn Rsi soon as it comes up-it brings the root of the stalk to the top of the ground. My plan ts to finish the first working from the 20th of April to the 10th of May. Sometimes I have not finished he fore the 25th of, May. With the land well turned, very little grass and weeds will come up, except in the bottom of the furrow, and this is easily managed. For first plowing, have a heavy twen ty-two inch sweep, with the right wing so set, that ?ts back end will not be more than one inch above the ground. This 1 is to run near the corn, and should fill < the furrow "within one or one and a half ? inches of the general surface. Break ont < the middles with the same sized sweep, ( with thc back of both wings turned up ; ] if the plowing is well done, foir furrows t will finish out-four hands completing a fourteen acres every day, by going six- a teen miles a day. J ** Second plowing-have the wing of the siding sweep turned a little more than half up; run close to the corn leaving nothing for the hoe; for if all the plowing is well dunc, there is no use of a hoe. Break out the middles with three furrows, to make a good place to plant peas. From the first of June to the 20lh, is a good time to plant peas. Proceed in this man ner. After the second plowing, run a shovel furrow in the middle of a corn row ; drop one bushel of peas to every eight acres-say six to eight peas to a hill. You can plant sixteen ?eres per day, and will use two bushels for each plow cover with a harrow. Third and last plowing-pair your hands, one to side the corn, and one to side the peas ; the hand that sides the corn will need a twenty-two inch sweep, right-hand wing well up, and it should run close to the corn-not going more thau a half inch deep ; the left wing should be nearly flat. The hand that sides the peas, will need a heavy twenty-six inch sweep, with the right wing set at medium height, and should run it near the peas, and fill the pea furrow entirely up ; the left wing should be Up, to push the dirt near the corn. This is the last plowing, and if well done, the ground w ill be as .mooth and level as a floor, with not n spear of grass to the 200 acres, nor weed to Oe seen in the field. In old time: I required every hand to clean thc crop as he went-what thc plow left, to be re moved with the foot and hand. From thirteen to sixteen miles, according to the condition of the crop, was a day's work. Such pine land as mine, (some of it very poor,) should average 20 to 25 bush els per acre ; and wet or dry, if the work is rightly done, there is uo such thing as i failure, as my many visitors, from ail parts of the country, will testify. Messrs. Editors, 1 have been too lengthy in describing the preparation of land and cultivation of crop, to give my reasons for a choice of manures. 1 use, after a long experience, Peruvian Guano, Dis solved Bones, Land Plaster and Salt, and have them mi.xed at home. 1 wish the Southern Cultivator was in ..very man's hands. It would pay good dividends. Very respectfully, DAVID DICKSON. Sparta, Ga., Jan. iith, 1808. We hope that in our next issue, Mr. Dickson will continue the discussion of the manures suitable for corn. Wc think we utter thc general sentiment of our readers, when we say, thut fullness of de tail on every point, as in the article above is exactly what we want, and most highly prize.-ED. SO. CULT. A Chapter on Hogs. The time has gone by when hogs can be bred and raised in the South, in the free and easy and liberal manner that pre vailed before the break up. As they can no longer be allowed to run at large, am) plenty of them to admit of a large pro portion being killed and consumed as pigs by the negroes and yet enough left to supply the plantation, a different style ol animal must now be bred. Formerly, a considerable share cf bone ?md musck was not only ndmissable, but necessary to the animal's doing much towards mak ing his own living, and " saving his bacon when made ! Now, n few good, wei! formed, thrift} hogs, quiet itt disposition, and of breed? which fatten kindly and yield a good re turn in fL.?>h and fat for the food they eal. .?tier thc only possible means of uiakili|| our own meat. And that every one must now do so is very evident. Pens or lots and small well fenced pastures, are now necessary to the safety of the hogs and to the success in pork making. There is no other domestic animal so easily im proved by judicious selections and crosses as the hog, nor more quickly deteriorated by neglect. As we must now begin almost anew, in all parts of the South, it is advisable wherever they can be had, to begin with the best. .At all events, secure a good male to cross upon the best native sows that can yet be picked up. And where individuals do not feel able to own euch a really good boar, a neighborhood would do well to join and procure one for thc benefit of all interested. A reference to the columns of agricultural papers will show where and at what price such ani mals can be brought. In the South we can no longer afford to keep a large number of ordinary and poorly fed hogs. To pay at all, the ani mais must be not only of a "good kind," but "good of their kind ;" must be well and abundantly fed ; and as largely as pos sible OM cooled food. Corn meal mush stands first on the list for fattening. But a mixture of barley or pea meal, etc., and of roots, will aid the growth. Cow peas-which, however, must be fed with caution in the field-sweet potatoes, piu ders, etc., are excellent. Sugar millet or sorghum, fed in the stalk cut into short pieces, affords a wholesome and nourish ing variety in hot weather. Brood sows and young stock do well on growing Hun garian millet, as they browse upon the ripe heads only, with comparatively little damage to the crop. And for grazing, nothing equals Bermuda grass, which, however, the animals will root up in win ter if not prevented, doing but little harm thereby to pastures, although damaging to meadows. If the business of hog raising is gone into upon anything of a large scale, Egyp tian or winter oats, barley, etc., will be | j found useful for winter grazing ; to be eaten down from the time the grain is in I the pasty state ; to be followed with cow- I peas, sweet potatoes, etc. Beets and car rots, as containing more sugar, are bet ter than turnips, unless it be rutabagas. Peaches, Chickasaw plums, mulberries, i ( persimmons, figs, etc., are all well worth | ( growing for pigs. Whitewash. The Madison Courier gives the follow ing recipe : Take a clean, water-tight bar rel, or other suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel of 1 ime. Slake it by pour- j ing water over it, boiling hot, and in suifi- 1 cient quantity to cover it five inches deep, 1 and stir it briskly until thoroughly sink- 1 ed. When the slaking has been effected, ^ dissolve it In water, and add two ounces : of sulphate of zinc and one of common ' salt. These will cause the wash to har- 1 den, and prevent its cracking, which gives c an unseemly appearance to the work. If r desirable, a beautiful cream color may f be added to the above wash, by adding " Mrco pounds of yellow ochre ; or a good 1 searl or lead color, by the addition of amp, vine or ivory black. For fawn ;olor, add four pounds of umber, Turkish ^ >r American-the latter is the cheapest l' -one pound Indian red and one pound ^ lomtnon lamp black. For common stone 01 ?olor, add four pounds umber and two w K)unds lamp-black. This wash may be P1 ,pp!icd with a common whitewash brush, s* ,nd will be found much superior, both in g' ppearance and durability, to common I 0( roitewash. j * ?I The Farmer-A Beautiful Picture. The man who stands upon his own soil, who feels that by thc laws of the land in A'hich be lives- by thc law of civilized nations-he is the rightful and exclusive jwner of the land which he tills, is by the sonstitulion of our nature, under a whole some influence, not easily imbibed from any other source. He feels-other things being equal, more strongly than another the character of a mau as the lord of the inanimate world. %Of this great and won derful sphere, which fashioned by the hand of God, and upheld by his power, is rolling through the heavens, a portion is his ; his from the centre to the sky. It is the space on which the generation be fore him moved in its round of duties; and he feels himself connected by a visi ble link, with those who preceded him, as he is also, to those who will follow him, and to .whom he is* to transmit a home. Perhaps his farm has come down to him from his fathers. They have gone to the:~ last home; but he can trace their footsteps over ;!ie scenes of his daily la bors. The roof which shelters him was reared by those to whom he owes his be ing. Some interesting domestic tradi tion is connected with every enclosure. The favorite fruit tree was planted by his father's hand. He sported in his boyhood beside the brook, which st'dl winds through the meadow. Through that field lies the path to the village school of earlier days. He still hears from his window the voice of the Sabbath bell which called his fath ers and his forefathers to the house of God, and near at hand is the spot where his parents laid down to rest, and where, when his time is come, he shall be laid by his children. These are the feelings of the owner of the soil. Words cannot paint them-gold cannot buy them ; they flow out of the deepest fountains of the heart ; tfley-are the lifespring of a fresh, healthy, and generous national character. -Eoerett. PINDERS AGAIN.-The business men of New York City express surprise that the Southern farmers neglect the culture of pinders, which are so much needed for the manufacture of oil. From $2 to $4 per bushel are paid there, and the de mand will not be supplied. Remember that after gathering all your crop of pin ders, say 25 or 30 bushels ?per acre, at least one fourth of the yield will remain in the ground to feed and fatten your hogs. This is clear gain. There is also another advantage in pinder raising. The vines may be saved and cured for feeding horses mid cattle ; and this forage is as good as clover. We have tried it; .ind the yield per acre is enormous-not less than two tons on suitable land. Thc best laud for pinders is a fresh or good sandy soil, such as will not produce cotton well; and if it will make ten bushels of corn per acre, the same will make 25 bushels of pinders per acre. At the minimum price, therefore, you will make fifty dol lars per acre on poor land, over and above fattening your pork hogs and saving pin der forage for your horses and horned cattle. Is this not better than ten dollars per acre which is the besi that could be done on such land, when cotton brings only 12 cents per pound ? Think, thin?. -Marion Crescent, WHAT REU CLOVER DOES.-S. Ed ward Todd, in the course of a discussion before the New York Institute Club, re ferred to the fertilizing power of red clo ver as tallows: "On the heavy, stubbo.)) soils of th?- slopes of our norihern Jakes, the prod ucl ion of red clover has Leen ol ii.calculable valucin renovating and ching ir.g the character of these stubborn s^ils, so as to render them more productive from year LO year. Under the ameliora ting influences of a crop of red clever, farms that produced scarcely a remunera ting crop when the virgin soil was turn ed up with the plow, now yield annually heavy crops of choice wheat or other grain. The distinguishing characteristic of red clover as a renovator of the sci! is to produce vegetable mould or humus. Where humus abounds in large quanti ties in the soil, red clover is riot the fer tilizer required. But where thc surface is not covered by a stratum of fine mould, red clover can be raised with eminent sat isfaction and profit. Our most extensive Pennsylvania farmers understand and ap preciate the excellence and efficiency of red clover. Almost our entire country has got to renovate with red clover. Old and impoverished fields will eventually be made to feel the ameliorating influ ences of the efficient renovator of aoor and badly managed soil. And this great and desirable change will be wrought out by the production of red clover. FARMING AS A BUSINESS.-The Rural Xew Yorker has a correspondent, who is discussing the question whether farming is profitable. He writes that " this ques tion is frequently propounded as though Lhere was a doubt about it. But there is none. In the aggregate, it must pay, else all other vocations must be speedily aban doned. Farming is the base on which the social edifice rests, and its remunera tion to individuals depends upon ths in tclligence which guides farm labor. With some, owing to a lack of money, the in formation essential to success, or to an improvident use of what they have, firm ing is not remunerative ; but with the mass the case is different, and each year shows in the aggregate increased accumu lation. Farming, therefore, like other business, intelligently and systematically pursued, pays, and if failures here and :here occur, as in other pursuits, they are ;he exceptions, while general success is ;ho rule." FARM ACCOUNTS.-Mr. Wallace, of the Utica Herald, in a late agricultural dis jtHsion, strongly and properly advocates ?he absolute necessity of keeping careful jooks of account of the operations on the arm. He says very justly that many armers go on from year to year, raising md selling without having any correct inowledge of the profit or loss of the dif ferent crops. It is natural that every far nei: should know exactly what crops pay ,nd what don't. He says he has kr own armers to grow oats year after year, and elling it at thirty cents per bushel, who lid not know they were doing it at a loss. ?h'i3 state of things ought to be remedied, mt it can only be by farmers, who, just s much as the manufacturer, the mer hant, or the storekeeper, should havij his Egular books, where the whole op?rations f the farm should be distinotly stated, and is receipts and expenditures appear to ie last cent. SALT AND ASHES FOR HORSES.-Tiose eeping horses should, twice a week, irow in a handful of salt and ashes. Mix jem by putting in three parts of salt and rie of ashes. Horses relish this, and it ill.keep their hair soft and fine. It will rev?nt bots, colic, etc. A little ground ilphur, mixed with salt and ashes, and ven once in two or three weeks, is also ?neficial. All domestic animals will be. ins benefited. SPEAK GENTLY.-When a boy of four teen, following a plow drawn by oxen, our father said the first day of work : " Let us see who can talk the lowest to Buck and Bright ; "it isn't the sound that makes, tho team go, but thc understanding that springs up between driver and team." The thing was new to our ears We had always heard the " Woa haw Buck," or the " Woa haw Bright," given in tones of j bawling only, and had grown to the be lief that bawling was the only way of] driving. But a little experience on the low keys showed that an ox, dumb and slow as some call him, had not only a show of intellect, but also of the proprie ties of his position. Buck and Bright an swered as well to a few words quietly spoken as to the many vociferated.-Se lected. A WRENCH-ITS VALUE.-Few far mers or owners of wagons and carriages appreciate the value of this little instru ment-a wrench-and, failing to do so, foot many a costly bill in needless repairs and new purchases. You cannot allow one part of machinery to work loose fron\| its fastenings without injury to all the rest. At least once a month, every nut and bolt in the running gears of a wagon or carriage should be examined and test ed with a wrench. By this precaution, the carriage will be preserved and acci dents avoided. So important is t'.is, that nrtillery officers are compelled to report to the. Ordnance Department how often the nuts are turned up on artillery carri ages.-Kansas Farmer. -? ? ? A SUGGESTION.-If anyb-iy wants to know how a horse feels on a bitter morn ing when a frozen bit is placed in his mouth, let them first place a piece of fro zen iron upon their own tongues. Hav ing done this, let the coachman or driver see that the bit is warmed before being fixed in position. The horse will look, though he cannot say, " thank you.,; Phi la. Gazelle. ESTABLISHED 1802.
