INTEMPERANCE.!

I; Never io the history of our State, was .
lere a time calling for such brare,
truest, and unwearied effort, on the
trtof the friends of temperance aa the
resent. The reckless, bloody spirit
hich Intemperance has assumed in the j
lidst of t!ie troubles which surround)
5, is truly alarming. J?ut a few weeks
"0 aa inoffensive negro was shot ^
trough by a young man of our village, j
bo was iu a state of intoxication, aud
ho, wheu sober, is quiet and peaceblo ; j
id a few weeks ago our village was j ]
Drown into the utmost coufusioa and s
scitement by a homicide of a most j:1
?stressing character, perpetrated by 'v
vo young men on the evening before,: w
iflamcd by strong drink. The women, . (.
rei ted and alarmed, kept in door.-, ami ,h
je men, armed with revolvers, turned ^
ut to protect themselves and families, *
nd religious services in the sanctuary
ere entirely suspended the wliole sub- .
?th day. Tile victim was a colored I?
ian, fly the name of ii ea ry Nash, who
ad given off:uce by some unguarded j j!
tpressions. lie was ?.hot a number ol ?
mes and his body horribly muiilalcd by ' i
ie balls. The young men who com- 1
lilted the rash ac: were both respecta- I 'l
ly ami extensively related in this S ^
ou ti try, and would not have done so, If
ut for the inflamed condition of their s
?iuds I rum drink. 1
**TLey were red hot with drinking."
Then thc whole community liked to c
lave been iuvolved in the affair by two j.',
Iruukeu negroes, who attempted, under ? ?,
he pretext of au arrest, and without j h
uthority, to get possession of the per j
on of Col. Jienj. lierndon, that they 1
light kill him, by way of iudemui?ca? ,?
iou aud revenge for the killing ot Nash. a
Jut fur the forbearance of the whites, s
oder the most galling tauuts and in *'

of raising money for some good purpo>e,
at which a large quantity ol' wine ??is ,j
sold, against law and propriety, and J

Mr Effingham Lawrence, thc owner j
if Magnolia plantation, is a scion of a ?
rcll-known Long island funily, the son J
fa good larmer, and himself invented .
plough when but ten years r.ld. Culti

eakes. ha< eo-t 8300.00 >, and little of :
has been superseded by later and more j
lerfect devices. Of his :J0OO, he culti- '
ates 1') ?0 acres, which is nearly all ,
hat stands well out of irater. Some of J
he mo>t efficient of his former slaves
ave left him to plant rice on small;
dnces below him, wfVre they make :

Hs arable acres arc divided into tracts

Mr. Lawrence was accustomed to use

Though the season has been persi

The subsoil-never disturbed till now
was a glutinous clay loam, compacted
sixty years' treading of heavy mi
teams; so wet that it came up uobroki
as if it were glue, and about as easy
pulverize as so much sole-leather,
obstinate is it that Mr. Lawrence h
reduced each gang of ploughs to tfl
lest his engines should be sta!.ed or 1
wire ropes broken. These two each c
a furrow sixteen inches wide and fu
two feet io average depth; had the su
face been level, they would bave ave
aged twenty-six inches. They we

Three men were required to keep the
io place, and clear them of the chokii
.'trash," which I would have burned o
of their way, though I, bad I been
planter, would have preferred to ha
it buried as they buried it. Against i
these impediments, etch set of machi;
ery was ploughing from five to six acr
per day-ploughing them two feet dee
remember, and thus relieving them
thc generally superabundant moisture
shallow ploughing, or even ordinary su
soiling, never did and never can. M
Lawrence, upon land thus ploughc
makc3 an average of 2000 pounds p
acre of sugar where he formerly mat
but 800 pounds. And he regards bin
self as yet on the threshold of stea
cultivation.
And even this was not the best I
had to show us. In other fields, pei
haps half a mile distant, other machin?
were pulti?* ?ig cane by steam. I bi
lieve the hue of this has not yet bee
done elsewhere on earth. Ihe rows <

plants now fully a foot in average heigh
A locomotive eugine stands at cither en
of the field, moving forward or back war
by a.touch of the hand ot thc negro bo
standing upon it aud louking out fe
signals. Thc cultivator is composed c
five or six ordinary hcrse cultivators, ec
largod and fixed io a frame, wherec
the half that bas just stirred the cart
to a depth of two and a width of fiv
feet is lifted clear of the ground oi
reaching the engine which draws il
while its counterpart is brought down t
its work by the plough-guider steppinj

thus thoroughly pulverized the spaci
bet'veen two rows, by traversing it twiw
the engines move forrard to the nex
space and repeat thc operation; and st
on till night fall. Mr. Lawrence assur?e
me that one such thorough working
answers fer the season; whereas, while
tilling by mule power, every cane fiele
required working six times per season
at intervals of fifteen days. A set o
machine, and bands tills abont twelve
acres per day. I judge the cost of this
day's work, including fuel and wear ol
machinery, ranges from $25 te $30. Thu
far below the cost of repeated work?
ings by mule-power, while it ia far cor?
efficacious. The land ploughed and
tilled by steam is far dryer than th?
rest. Mr. Lawrence considers his thou
sand acres under tillage worth $100 pei
acre more than they would be but foi
steata culture. lia will keep his twe
sets of ploughing machinery at work nol
only throughout each day whea the
earth is not too sodden, but (by relaye
o? hands) throughout each night also,
when the moon serres. Steam tillage
of growing crops, being a nicer, nore
critical operation, will be confinai tc
daylight. But the autumn is here thi
dry seasoo, therefore most favorable to
ploughing, and he realizes ein immense
advantage io this. Throughout thc
cane cutting month\of Octobet and No?
vember, when all the mules on a planta
lion are overworked at hading ap out
cane from the fields to the sugar-house,
so that ploughing with animals is im?
possible, he will hare bis ploughing
machinery constantly at work, doing
him most excellent service io preparing
for next year's crop.

BOW TO RAI#8 GOOD CHICKENS.
1. Set the hen in a place where she
will not be disturbed.
2. Give a large hen twelve or thir?
teen eggs, medium sized one ten or
twelve, and a small ooe eight or nine.
3. Don't let thu hen come out of tho
sitting room ootil she bas hatched, but
keep her supplied with gravel, food and
water.
4. tVhea chicks are hatched, leave
them in the nest for eight or ten hours.
5. Don't meddle with tho eggs dur?
ing incubation ; turning them once a
day, and all such fborUhneas, is apt to
prevent the eggs from hatching. All
of this is good advice from the Southern
Farmer.
TURKEY RAISING.
A correspondent of Central Union
Agriculturist rays :
"The way to raise them, which, if]
carried out, would be most profitable, is
to raise good broods, but then it does
not pay to raise them and sell them for]
less than the price of beef per pound.
Bat turkeys do one good thing on a
fara : they will eat up, in one summer,
mofe insects than alf the birds. The
latter are most troublesome seeding time
and harvest, and wheo the fruit gets
ripe, for they like something good to j
eat, they will range all over the faro."
