I cheerfully comply with the request of the Fruit Committee of the Horticultural Society, in communicating such facts as I am acquinted with, in regard fo the cultivation of the Fig tree. I regard the tig as one of the most valuable among the fruits cultivated in the maritime districts of South Carolina. It is wholesome and delicious. The tree is of easy growth, does not take up much room, is seldom injured by frosts, bears from one to three crops in a season; and there are so many varieties that, with a little* carp, irood fruit niav be obtained from June- till the frosts of November. Sjrcies Cultivated.?There are, according to Botanists, considerably over a hundred species of Fig tree; the majority bear fruits which are not eatable. All our varieties cultivated in this country may be referred to one species?the Ficvs carica. These varieties have all originated in Asia, Africa, and the southern parts of Europe, from seeds. The fig belongs ^^Wto that family of plants arranged by under the class and order, * JLtuocia Triandria. The male tree has - 1 1 id'. ?? - 1 I I ?tk.'o iuu.n**!' Of noen i^iruuuccu tmu uus tvuuuj ftfeatete*00* 'ft* '^ceds of our cnUi vated vone^ v^'^ited by layers or cuttings; no new varieties have, therefore, originated in America. Nearly all our varieties of the fig, have been from time to time received from different parts of the Mediterranean. Those in Louisiana were generally im|>orted from the south of France; hence, there are several varieties in the neighbourhood of New.Orleans, which have not found their way into Carolina. The small bulr delicious Celestial fig was, I think, received from Louisiana but a few years ago. Although it might be udvisa. 3 ble as a matter of interesting horticultural experiment to import the original wild Fig tree, or the male of some of its varieties ; yet there are so many valuable varieties cultivated on the Eastern continent, that a selection from these may easily be made, by which our tables may be supplied with a constant succession throughout the season. ? , /. iUetftoa oj transporting tuning* ??/ ?<? Fig tree.?This process is both simple a;id sate. Toe cuttings should !>e taken from the tree any time during autumn or winter, packed in earth or moss, in boxes or barrels, and will easily survive a passage across the Atlantic. Mode of Propagation.?The cuttings will succeed !>est in this climate when planted in the month of February.? Those, however, that have been taken from the tree at an earlier period, will succeed very well when planted a month later. It may be successfully inoculated. As the tree, however, grows readily from cuttings, a resort to this method is only desirable when we have stalks of an inferior kind, the inoculations growing so rapidly, that there is usually a saving of a year by this method. The tree grows readily from shoots, but I have found, from many years experience, that cuttings succeed better and grow more rapidly. A limb is laid horizontally, covered by seven or eight inches of earth; a branch is suffered to project from the earth, forms the future tree, whilst the parts under the surface are formed into roots. It usually commences bearing the second year. We have introduced into Carolina, as far as I have been able to observe about twelve or fourteen varieties of the fi?r.? O These usually are named according to their colors? such as black, blue, brown, lemon, and white figs. One variety the large white lemon fig, produces an abundant early crop, whilst the large brown fig, when carefully attended to, continues ripening its fruit until late in autumn. The black and blue figs seldom * ^ hear an early, but usually a very abundant second crop. To pfbduce an Early Crop of Figs.? I have long been under an impression that one ^reat cause, of our want of suecess in producing fruits of various kinds in Carolina is owing to our neglect in manuring fruit trees in the proper season, CHEKAV This is applicable especially to our apple, pear, quince, and plum trees. In the pear especially, the manuring of the trees with decayed leaves, or litter of any kind in in autumu, has almost invariably been succeeded by an abundant crop in the following year. In an experiment I made on a black, blue, white, and brown figs, I am inclined to think that by manuring them an early crop of figs may be obtained from all these varieties although some kinds produce lessaubndantly than others. In the month of November last I had the earth removed from my Fig trees by which jwocess many of the small roots and iibre were cut otf. I placed a wheelborow load of well rotted stable inunure around each tree, which was cov. ered with earth. The trees had been planted in a moist soil, and were somewhat injure by the heavy rains of the present unusually wet season. This was in some measures remedied by adopting the European system of under-draining, whicli I found vcrv advantageous. 1 l o have never had a more abundant early crop of figs, or of finer flavour. This 1 have ascribed a manuring. As it was a first experiment, I am unable to state positively whether this method would always succeed equally well. Insects ichich infest the fig tree'.? Hitherto this tree has been subject to few diseases, add scarcely suffered from the depredations of insects. The large white coccus, of scale-like, mealy appearancc, did not materially injure the tree or the fruit; and the fig-eater comes late | in the season to claim his share of our abundance, to which be seems fully entitled by the laws of Nature. A minute and much more formidable insect, how. ever, whose character I have not yet fully investigated, has within the last few years attacked the liinbs and leaves of our Fig trees, covering the surface, extracting the juices, and in some cases destroying the tree in a single year.? The only remedy I have thus far been *nbleto discover, is by scouring the tree and all its branches with a hard brush dipped in moist sand, and finally washing it with soap-suds or strong alkali. kai hman. July 1G, 1840. To the Fruit Committee of the Horticultural Society. Making Buttkr. [Jn reply to some enquiry relative to to this subject, the editor of the Boston Cultivator thus discoursed :] If we undertake to tell our correspond- i ent which is the best mode of making bultcr, we may have our ears boxed the very next time wc venture into a dairy room? for wc find that good butter makers have different methods: each has the very best mode of making, and why should any one listen to the experience of others ? Still our own opinion is, there is but one best mode of making the very best butter, the proof of which is in the eating?we do not mean that it shall be proved as soon as it comes from the churn, but after it has ? been made a year. All dairy women know that the milk dishes must he kept clean and sweet? that the milk must be good?and that it must not be allowed to stand unreasonably long before the cream is taken off with the skimmer?nor should the cream stand too long before churning. In large dairies it is a common practice to churn the fathered cream not less than three times n in a week, bat if the cream is kept in a cool place it may be allowed to stand half a week without injury at any season of the year, provided it is daily stirred in a thorough manner so as to mingle well together all parts of it. When the cream is put into the churn it must be of proper temperature, or it will not make the best of butter?if it bo too warm the butter will be soft and less in quantity than it should be?if it be too cold it is not easily converted to butter.? Dairy women arc not much in the practice of using a thermometer in these cases, though we think it would be an excellent practice, and " new beginners" may find one indispensable. Probably the heat indicated by Fahrenheit's thermometer may be between 60 deg. and 70ieg.|without injury but the only way to determine this with complete accuracy is to make several trials. At the commencement of churning the cream should never be agitated, violently, for in such case it will be set to foaming aad the formation of butter, will be retarded. Let it be gently agitated for sometime, and there will be no risk in a thorough shake towards the close. When the cream is good and has been properly I kept, it is often converted to butter in fif- I teen minutes; and yet we see people churning for hours on one mass of cream ! There is no doubt but that the cream from some cows is much more easily converted ( than from others, but the principal reason for the difference in the length of time required is a lack of attention to the preparation of the cream so as to give it the proper warmth. When the cream has become butter it is 1 well to keep, up the agitation for live miu utes, in order to gather the butter, or rath1 er to separate it completely from the buti termilk. When this is done the butter, milk should be turned off and cold water m ^ <5 * Jk Wj? '< jj \r ^Nr t ? ?w??n '*' ?' '"5 y. SOUTH-CAROLINA, W should he substituted for it in the churn, t tlien the water and the butter may he agitated again forsevenil minutes?let this 1 water be then turned off and a new supply a be put in and agitated as before; in this r way all the buttermilk may be separated from the butter, and if any liquid is left in o the little crevices it will b? principally i water instead of buttermilk. The butt* * must then be taken from the churn by fi means of a littie wooden shovel, With a which it should be overhauled, or 44 work- I ed over," as the women say, and partially c 1. 1 / V 11 A. J " MUa..U U/% fl saiicci. un me nexi aav u hiivqim whh? *< erhauled again to let ant all the extra mots- c ture or water, whcii it will' be-fit4o be-jwt- * into the firkin. a The salt used should not exceed one a mncc for a pound of butter. And if all fl the buttermilk has been churned out or e worked out, the butter will keep sweet for a a year or two in case it is well packed.? It should be stowed close in the firkin so c that no air can gain admittance. The f firkin should be water tight and brine v tight. Some turn brine over the top to u exclude the air, and wnen the firkins arc ? to remain in the dairy this is a good mode, a but the air should always be excluded as d much as possible. d The greatest difficulty which we find in n preparing butter to be kept for a long v while, is i.n wholly separating the buttermilk a from the butter. If that is all worked out in o season we are not in much danger of losing c our butter or of having it turned frowsy? a but people seldom separate all this butter- h milk, and those who sell their butter fresh p prefer to let a quantity of liquid remain d with the butter in order lo balance better c on the scale. When we are not sure that f we have separated all the liquid from the n butter, we can, by using salt that has been t perfectly dried by the fire or in tho sun n absorb a portion of the moisture remaining v in it and thus run less risk of iniquity from n such particles which are apt to adhere to p the butter. When butter is to be kept c for several months we choose to mix a lit- c tie pulverized saltpetre and some loaf sugar with the salt. One tcaspoonful of saltpetre and two of sugar will be enough for a dozen pounds?these articles also aid us in absorbing the extra moisture of ^ the butter. * But all will nrt agree with us as to 8 washing new made butter in cold water, ^ My m inutih 'will .In oide at once that we ruin our butter by r washing it?that we wash away much of the natural sweetness of the butter?they ^ therefore attempt to work out that foul r matter by hand, but they seldom succeed? 8 and though their butter will taste as sweet c as any when it is first made, it trill remain * sicert. VVe do not mean that it is impos- P siblc tc work out all this matter by hand? c we mean to say females seldom do it, and this is the principal cause of the great ^ quantity of frowy butter that is found in c our markets. ' VVe could never perceive any philoso- 1 phical reason why water should wash away any of the richness of butter. Noth- * ing will make it unite with any oily or but- a tcry matter?and we should as soon fear c that water put in our tallow kettle would injure the candles as that it would wash away the goodness of the butter. If our theory be correct that water cannot be P made to mingle with butter the burthen 8 ? .. . ??:n k ot proot rnac waicr win w.??u anuj mv goodness lies on the otlier side. For our a part we can say we have eat as good but- a terat a year old made and kept in the 1 way which we recommend as we have c ever found ; and we are satisfied that ours c is much the easiest mode of separating the 8 butter from the buttermilk. g We cannot account for the strong pre- a judicc which exists against suffering new c made butter to come in contact with wa- r ter, but we can assure our friends that the c Scotch and the Dutch who have leng been f noted for their excellent butter, never fail to cleanse out all the buttermilk bv the f application of cold water in tho churn : * and their butter has been kept for years ' without the least taint.?Bits, Cultivator. j AGE OF SIIEEP. < The age of sheep may be known by i examining their front teeth. They are J eight in number and appear during the 1 first year all of a small size. In the sec- ( ond year, the two middle ones fall out, and their place is supplied by two new teeth, which are easily distinguished by being of larger size. In the third year, two other small teeth, one on each side, drop out and are replaced by two large ones; so that there are now four large teeth in < the middle, and two pointed ones on each i side. In the fourth year, the large teeth , arc six in number, and only two small ones remain, one at eacn end 01 tne range.? In the fifth year the remaining small teeth are lost, and the whole front teeth are large. In the sixth year the whole begin to be worn; aud in the seventh, sometimes sooner some fall out or are broken. diseases and management of sheep. Messrs. Editors.?I have seen in your paj>er a request made by Mr. Grant, for i some remedy to cure cattle that have taken too freely of new corn. Taking it for granted that the digestive organs, stomach, &c. of a sheep is like that of the ox, I will tell him what proved useful to my sheep under the same circumstances. My sheep had taken too freely of new corn, they became perfectly debilitated, ! violent purging ensued, and several of ; Y-r* % : . X* ? MBTlMJhWMM. ia)NKSPAY, UrXUMBt h m died.

I observed a writer in your paper rcommend littering sheep pens with straw, eedingon oats and hay. The littering rith graw I found to be injurious, the irine and manure of the sheep soon forncnting, and produced a suffocating heat ind offensive odor; this was the cause of lisease.

We are disappointed rather in Gov. Richardson than his inaugural, for we had an inkling of what it would be, from a certain devclopement which took place, in the columns of the Mercury, last summer. Our pleasnrQ in Qppinir r Union man olne.tnd Gov. u,v ? - ~?- ? -? ernor of the State (and it would otherwiso have been unfeigned, and in relation to no individual more so than Col. Richardson) is entirely marred, by the seeming sacrifice of principle, by which the event has been accomplished. If this is the way the bond of peace is to be sealed, that seal shall never bear our impress; and ve must differ from his Excellency that it is cause of congratulation, and calculated "to dispel every shade of doubt and distrust from the hearts and countenances of our people," and on the contrary hold it just cause of sorrow and apprehension. When Gov. Richardson addressed the editor ofihe Mercury, last summer, in an ex j. i i? SR 30 1840. position of his principles (for which th journal called hira a sound State ttigli man) and declared that if any a tempt should be made after tl the expiration of the Compromise Act, 1941, to revive the tariff "South-Care na ought not to submit to it/' "nor wh< the remedy is to be applied, should v quarrel among ourselves as to the mot and measure of redress," but "the sir plest,the most efficacious and direct rem dy should be at once resorted to," and i such an emergency, he doubted not "thi the*State would concentrate in herd fence -the wilf and the ene/gtes $failh citizens," our suspicions and our Jjsa were aroused. We knew, however, th these high sounding and ambiguous phra cs, smacking strongly as they do of tl peaceful remedy of Nullification, wc susceptible of an innocent interpretatu ?wo made allowances, liberal allowanc too, for the fact the writer had on at tl time the white garment, that he was see ing high and distinguised office, and hi to contend against adverse machinatio ?and we supended our judgment. 11 Col. Richardson is now the Governor the State, he is no longer caiulidatu* b pwrpuratus, and what he says officially is our right and duty to canvass free) in order to ascertain his object and mca ing. Gov. Richardson tells us, in t same breath, that we have "diseased fi ever the cabalistic terms of party," ar with strange medley of those very tern that "we are all Nullifiers, we are Union men." Mr. Jefferson may, wi some plausibility, have said, on his c cession to the Presidency, "we are republicans, we are all federalists," 1 cause in the sense that we are citizc of a federal government as well as of republic, the terms are rcconciloable. But "Nullifiers" and "Union men" arc i tually antipodes; and there is no sense which the terms can be made to harm< ize. Gov. Richardson may find the pa dox realized in himself; hut we p[oU not in the name of the Union party, we regard that as long since dissolv and trust in Heaven there will never b necessity for its revival?but in the na nf ITninn mrn,. ngamut any tiirh nrtfijrf al amalgamation.

Jeferson's declaration " we are all fed alists, we arc all republican," was follow by a contest between federalists and publicans; Heaven forcfend that G Richardson's paradoxical parody may ominous of like strife between Nullili and Union men. Were this all that was objectionable the inaugural, we concede it would !u l>ecn captious and hypercritical to hi noticed it. But there arc other passa, of startling ambiguity, if not plainly ceptionable doctrine, and indicating t kind of action which Nullifiers only, i not Uniontnen, couldon principle sa tion. In alluding to the high provii of executing the laws, now entrusted him, he says: "For the manner in which I hope discharge this obligation, I shall look the illustrious examples of my prcdec sors, and to the. great principles of the jmhlican party of '98 and '99, and wh this State, in all its controversies and str gles to preserve its constitutional rig, has so succesfidly and pre-eminently mt taincd. Those advantages which stern and ardent patriotism may have b mainly instrumental in achieving in salutary reformations in the adminisi tion of the Federal Government, so h pily illustrated by the judicious mcasi and sound policy of those into wh hands it is now committed?my elf shall be unremittingly directed to cl ish and improve.

Harrii and Mr. Van Buren, as well as Mr. ( hoiln, the Nullifier, refer to them as common standard of their conflict creeds; but this passage also asserts t this state "in all its controversies struggles to preserve its cpnstituth rights, hws successfully and prc*eminc maintained" the great principles of j and '99. Now we are not aware of ; occasion in which this state, iu iny sti ; gle to maintain her rights, pre.eminei 1 assertad the great principles of '98 | '99, unless it be her nullification con versy with the general government; VJ9U| ^ j "r << v f". ? - V . .v : '' * ' i ir** riftiii' irff 1* * v # > - - - 1 * - - ? .* / - 4^.' , f >/ #. xtyyt NUMBlfiR 7. % at when all the controversies aind struggles its of the state aro included, the nullification it- struggle is of eourse erabrhCed. Again be we are told of the "immovable firmness" in of the state in asserting her rights, her li- principles and her sovereignty/' and this?n is another awful squinting at nullification. vo The following passage, alluding to the' le election of Gen.
