Every day of good weather should bo erupted in properly preparing the ground to receive the seed in the spring. Our limited experience in planting, con? vinces us that a field thoroughly prepared will yield, with the same cultivation, dou? blets much as one preparod in the old I fashioned way. We are supported in this conclusion by the combined experience of the most practical and successful farmers in the country. The time has come when our farmers are compelled to make radi? cal changes in their manner of cultivation,, or emigrate. . The old. system of cutting down and wearing out must be abandon? ed.^ It was always a short-sighted and suicidal policy, oven when wood lands were cheap and abundant, and the in? crease of other property made the far? mer somewhat independent of the value of his land. But now his land is the far? mer's fortune, and in proportion as it is al lowod to deteriorate in value, by misman? agement or otherwise, ho becomes poorer, and has no resource left to compensate his loss. It therefore behoves every fa? tnur to exercise the utmost care and skill to preserve and/ improve bis lands. In making an effort to do this, wo are as? sured of success by the agricultural histo- j ry of every country where the experi? ment has been made. In the Northern States of this country land has Jreen steadily increasing in value for years? not in price alone, but in. intrinsic value ? m capacity for production^ And we are not without examples nearer home. In our own State, we have the experience of some ol our most successful farmers to convince us, that our lands may not only he made annually richer, by judicious cul? ture, but that the system of culture ne? cessary to effect'this result pays annually a Targe per cent, upon the increased out? lay of attention, labor and capital it de? mands. It would not be pertinent to the purpose of this nrticle, even if we were competent, to suggest in detail the errors of our system of agriculture or,any par? ticular manner of correcting them?this is tho special province of an agricultural journal (one at least Of which every far? mer ought to read regularly,)?but we will venture to throw out some hints in f reference to the preparation of tho soil for planting. To do this properly and thoroughly, almost every farmer in the District will have to provide a new set ol implements. These are just as important as a good set of tools to a mechanic.? Nothing but botch work can be done with bad tools. The demand in this District ought to support a first class warehouse dealing in farming implements alone.? Having procured a good turning and sub? soil plow, every aero of land to be plant od in corn and cotton, should be thor? oughly broken up with those, to the depth of at least ten inches, and lay off the rows with a large shovel plow, and fol? low in tho same furrow with a long tonjue-plow. Deposit the manure, either domestic or commercial, in this furrow, and plow out each row, forming a bed.? Open a small furrow above tho manure, and drop the seed and cover lightly. In the last operation a "corn and cotton planter" would save much labor and time. Cultivate shallow, and keep down the grass, and a good crop will almost certain? ly follow. These last suggestions are borrowed in substance from Mr?. David Dickson, who is regarded as tho best au? thority in agricultural matters, in the South. We followed his printed formula last year as nearly as wo could with the implements at command, upon a small field of corn and cotton, and our experi? ence confirms the practical wisdom of the author. Notwithstanding the length of the drought, and the intensity of tho heat, our corn seemed to suffer very littlo, and turned out well. They grew off vig orously and kept a good color through the ontire season. It shed very few squares or bolls and yielded more than twice as much, as tho land, with the seasons, un dor the common system of cultivation would have produced. Wo have thrown out these hints in the hope that they may prove of some practical benefit to tho far? mers of our District.?-Carolina Spartan. A Plea for Curry-Co.mus.?Moham? med was not only great as a false prophet, but great in the matter of hygiene. Ma? king laws for the filthy Arabs, he estab? lished as one ot the commands of his re? ligion that his followers should wash themselves every day, and when they were on the desert, where there was no water, they should rub themselves with sand. There is an insensible perspiration continually passing through tho pores of tho skin of animals as well as men, and whon from any roason these pores arc closed in either, the health of both suffers. What the water and the sand di'J for Mo. hammed's followers, tho tongue of tho ox (made with a card on its upper side,) the rolling ot tho horse on tho rough ground, the scratching of the sheep and hog on trees and fences, do for them; and when by reason of confinement in stables, and oonstant work when out, it is made im? possible for tho ox or the horse to do what the neods of tboir natures demand, the want must bo supplied or tho animal suf? fers. Negligence in this matter is a great loss. The old saying that a thorough carding is worth half a feed not only ap? plies to a horse, but to oxen and cows as well; and a half hour given to this work oach day, whon there are ten animals to be taken care of, is time wisoly and pro? fitably spent.?Hearth and Home. The Phosphate Report. I The Committee oa Incorporations, to. whom was referred the Phosphate Bill re? port that alter considerations of its pro? visions and principles,, they recommend that it do not pass. Their reasons are: First, because it is the nature of a monopoly, giving the right to a few individuals, for all time, to take from the waters of the State belong? ing to the whole people, an article of im? portance to the planter, and devote it to their own personal benefit. It also gives them the power to regulate the supply and price of the article, the tax upon it, and the employ, discharge, and wages of thousands of laborers. Under the do? minion of this gigantic monopoly, an in? fluence might be exerted which would render the condition of the laboring man and his family less desirable than the tbraldo'm from which he has been emanci? pated. They set forth that, aside from the ques? tionable rights of the Legislature to con? fer such dangerous powers upon a corpo? ration, there can be no doubt of the im? policy of the measure.. The progressive policy is the elevation of tho individual laborer; and there is a bill before the Sen? ate? appropriating half a million of dollars for the purchase of lands, which will place thousands of laboring men in the position of owners, and prompt them upward to prosperity and independence. A strange inconsistency would be presented in our legislation, of appropriating money from the treasury to build up one system of la? bor, at the same time giving immense wealth to promote an antagonistic scheme of congregated labor, with few advanta? ges over slavery except in name. The justice and expediency of the meas? ure are also questionable, in the aspect of taking from the available resources of the State, when, she is struggling with pecu? niary embarrassments, and the people are burdened with taxation. The revenue from this property may defray a consider? able portion of the State expenses, or, if devoted to a siriking.fund, would in a few years, entirely extinguish the State debt. This measure proposes to filch the patri? mony of the people from the custody of the State, consign it to wealthy individ? uals, only proposing to give the State the utterly insignificant sum of twenty cents per ton royalty. A fact worthy of consideration is, that there is not an individual of the colored race among the corporators, and yet the laborers will be almost exclusively taken from it. A Charleston Democratic paper recently remarked that the laborers in the phosphate beds would probably vote with those who employed them. This invidi? ous discrimination against ? majority of our citizens, and the political purposes to which it may be prostituted,, are not cal? culated to recommend the measure to the favorable consideration of the Legislature* These Carolina phosphate deposits are of immense value, and may become an im? portant source of revenue to the State, and of wealth to the nation. They are already recognized as the. most available fertilizers in the world, and we shall soon see vessels of every clime thronging Char? leston harbor in quest of them. Already, at a single wharf on Ashley .River, were seven ocean steamers for phosphates. Commodious warehouses and capacious wharves have appeared, and frequently a vessel has come up at 1 o'clock in the morning and returned to Charleston at 9 in the evening, laden with four hundred tones ot phosphates, and ready for her outward voyage. One company has invested upwards of $600,000 in lands, buildings and machine? ry. They employ from 300 to 500 work? men, whose aggregate wages average about $9,000 per month. They have ex ported numerous cargoes of phosphates, aud have sold in Now York city ?150,080 worth, which were taken from ten acres of land. Heretofore the principal source of sup? ply has been the Nevassa Company which collected it from the Caribbean Islands. Since the organization of the Ashley Riv? er Company, their price has contracted from ?25 to ?11 per ton, and their shares, which at par were $50, have beeu offered for S3 per share. A Bill has been referred to the commit? tee "to regulate the digging and mining for phosphate deposits from the navigable streams and waters of the State of South Carolina," which appears to combine more of the essential requisites than any other, and is recommended to the favorablo con? sideration of the Senate. It asks for no monopoly, asserts the prerogative of the State and the rights of all citizens to re? move phosphates, upon which it imposes a royalty of $2 per ton. It also provides for the incorporation of companies for tho purchase and sale of phosphates, which may be licensed and designated as State Depositories, and authorized to give re? ceipts to the miners for the sum of $2 per ton, royalty. These receipts must be for? warded monthly to the State Auditor, who will collect them from the deposito? ries. Provision is also made for the ap? pointment of a Board of Commissioners, to frame a code of rules, which shall be appended to the license. The bill also provides that upon every ton ot fertilizers of a certain grade, manufactured in the State, there shall be allowed a drawback of one dollar for every ton of phosphatic material in its composition, upon proof that the royalty has been paid. This will en? courage home manufacture. The committee have a bill to incorpo? rate the South Carolina Chemical and Mining Company, and to license the same to mine in the rivers of the State, under certain conditions. Mr. Nathaniel Pratt, to ivhose scientific knowledge we are in? debted for the discovery of the value of our phosphates, is at the head of the com? pany. They propose to make acids, paints and oils, etc., and fertilizing agents, which arc now procured elsewhere. They ask for no monopoly, The passage of the bill is recommended. The committee hope they have made suggestions which in skillful hands, may approximate to a proper system, of which experience will detect the errors and sug? gest the remedies.?Daily Jlcpublican. ? An5important physiological discov? ery has just been mado by a young man ?namely, that tho pulso of young ladies generally boats strongor in the palm of the hand than at the wrist. As to moro elderly fomnles, oven littlo boys know that the palm of the maternal hand beats awful strong. The Careless Use of Lucifer Hatches. We believe that many of the fires an? nounced in the journals as bolieved to be tho work of an incendiary, have their real causo in tho careless use of matches; and we propose to point out sorao of the ways in which property is thus endangered. We feol quite confident that in many in? stances risk is incurred from want of knowledge. Thoro aro several kinds of matches in popular uso. Of these probably the safest are those in which sulphur forms a con? siderable portion of tho compound used for tipping. Such matches require con? siderable friction to ignito them, and un? less some deflagrating substance like cholorate of potash, and kindred salts, is used, they do not detonate when .ignaed. Some matches in quite popular uso are so explosive that they detonate almost like a percussion cap; and whon they chunced to be tipped too profusely, tho burning material will scatter to some dis? tance by the sheer force of the explosion. We have seen the fused burning com? pound from such a match fly from one to two feet. The material thus scattered, would, in many cases, do no harm ; but in a comparatively few instances it might kindle a disastrous conflagration. Fall? ing into looso cotton, inflammable liquids, fine shavings, etc., it would be quite like? ly to ignite them, but as in such cases the fire is generally at onco discovered, and is smoothered out by tho hand or the foot, the cases in which fires thus caused become disastrous, are still fewer than those in which thoy might becomo so were tho persons who uso matches al? ways heedless, or worse, intoxicated. Unfortunately, there are occasionally heedless and tipsy people, and so far as wo are aware, thoy are not prohibited the use of matches; hence it may bo fairly inferred that occasional fires do occur by tho use of matches which violently deto? nate, when with a safer kind of match no harm would accrue. In the hands of such people, the fuses used for cigar lighting,, and which hold fire for a considerable time, are exceed? ingly dangerous. Thrown down often before the fire is extinguished, a glowing hot coal, thoy are, of course liable to ig? nito almost any highly combustible sub? stance with which they como in contact. The writer once extinguished a firs in a wooden box of saw dust, used as a spit? toon, caused by a fusee cast away by an intoxicated person, and which would, doubtless, but for its timely discover}', havo done immense damage. Tho dropping of a book onco ignited a bunch of detonating matches lying on our table. Such an accident occurring s.1 night, through the agency of some inquisi tivo cat, might well pass into the papers as tho work of an incendiary. Such matches are often dropped upon floors by persons too careless to pick them up, and aro subsequently ignited 'by stepping upon them. Others who would stoop to pick up a whole match, would not think it worth tlieir while to. attend to a broken piocc, although the latter, perhaps, is the tipped end, and just as. dangerous as the whole match would be should it chance to bo stepped upon. Wo have tried sonio experiments to as? certain tho liability of such matches to set fire to buildings, and havo found that shavings, cotton waste and even carpet with cotton warp may be ignited in this way. Not to dwell too long upon what may seem to some a simple matter, wo may sum up as follows: The careless use of matches, is, in our opinion, the most fruitful of all the causes ot fires of mysterious origin. There are kinds of matches extensively ns^d in offices, factories, and dwellings, which ignite so easily as to bo danger? ous, and which the insurance companies ought to include in the list of prohibitions in buildings insured by them, and which proprietors should refuse to allow on their premises. Those matches aro safest which require considerable friction to light them, and which, when lighted, only furnish suffici cient heat to ignite the small dry splints which constitute their bulk. Finally, all matches ought to bo kept in a tightly closed box or safe, tho best material for a match Bafe being tinplate; and a wholesome appreciation ot tho dan? ger of carelessness in their use, should be early instilled into tho minds of children. Servants, provorbially careless, will prob? ably continuo careless in spite of instruc? tion and reproof; and tho onljT thing that can bo done with them is to allow them only the uso of matches as safo as can be purchased.?Scientific American. Startling: Statistics.?Somo statisti? cian has been figuring on tho cost of an "occasional drink," and tho result is posi tively astonishing. In answer to the question: "How aro so many drinking houses sustained ?" he shows that twenty men at 30 cents a day will pay one of the tippling shops ?2,190 a year. A man who pays 30 cents a day for "drinks," pays 8109 50 a year. This is the interest on $1,564 at 7 per cent, at simple interest. This sum, 30 cents a day, amounts, in ten years to SI,171 95. All this is wasted, paid out for "an enemy that steals away a man's brains," and robs him and his lamily of overy comfort. Intoxicating liquors give neither strength to the body, vigor to tho mind, resolution to the will, elevation to morals nor dignity to charac? ter. Strong drink drags a man down from his high estato, depraves all his ap? petites, leaves him in want and misery, tho mero wreck and semblancoof a man. The constant use of intoxicating liquorB makes hard times for many a man : thus, a family of five persons will consume four barrels of flour a year, or ono thousand and fifty-six pounds of bread. This is nearly threo pounds a day. Good flour can be bought now for 87 a barrel; four times seven makos 828; and. thirty cents a day for drinks is 8109 30, or 88l 50 more per yoar than the bread for a family of five persons costs. "But," says A., "I only take two drinks a day." Very well, you pay then for your drinks 873 a year; only 845 more than you pay for tho bread consumed bjT your whole family, if it con? tains five persons. This sum would pro? vide tea and coflbe for thorn. Here, then, we soe that tho man who pays even twenty cents a day for liquor spends a sum sufflciont to supply his fami? ly with bread, toa, and coffco for tho An Act to Prevent Punish Bribery and Corruption.
