OUGHT MANURE TO BE PLOUGHED UN- 1
tm?i> with as T.TTTLE EXPOSURE AS j'
JL/Ui% !* &?*
POSSIBLE? |?
We find in the Amorican Farmer on article on '
this subject by Mr. J. M. Garnet of Virginia from 1
which we extract the following paragraphs: !
I began penning my cattle late in the spring, and (
continued it until frost, in pens of the same size, 1
moved at regular intevals of time, and containing '
the same number of cattle during the whole period. 1
These pens were alternately ploughed, and left un- *
ploughed, until the following spring, when all wore 4
planted in corn immediately followed by wheat.? 4
The superiority of both crops of all the pens which *
had remained unploughed for so many months, after ^
?h? on tile had manured them, was just as distinctly '
marked as if the dividing fences had continued standnig,
it was too plain to admit even of the slightest 1
doubt. A near neighbor, a young fanner, had '
made the same experiment, on a somewhat different 4
soil, the year before, but with results precisely the
eamc. Similar trials I myself hare made and seen 1
mado by others with dry straw, alternately ploughed
in as soon as spread, and left on the surface until ;
the next spring. In every case the last method t
proved best, as far as the following crop would s
prove it. The same experiment has been made by '
myself and othors of my acquaintance, with manure
from the horse stables and winter-farm pens, ,|
consisting of much unrotted corn offal; and without I
a solitary exception, cither seen by me, or heard of,
the ourface application, after the corn was planted, /
produced most manifestlj', the best crop, Upon (
these numerous, concurrent, and undeniable facts, f
my opinion has been founded, that it ia beat to op. ?
ply manures on the surface of lands; and "I guess," r
las brother Jonathan would say.) that it is not likely \
to change unless indeed, I should hear a still greater 7
number, equ illy well authentic ited, on the opposite ^
side; although I must say, that up to the present j;
time, I have not heard a solitary one. True it is, (
that I havo read many ingenious, fine spun argu. *
inents in opposition to the opinion which I hold in <
common with nutnaious other agriculturists, but no |
proofs whatever havo accompanied thein, and there- 1
foro I must remain an infidel, until they are sustain- '
0 ed and corroborated, hy such ficts, as should al. r
ways ba deemed indispensable to establish any prac- '
lice whatever, in any of the various branches of S
husbandry. All these results undeniably prove, that
thesurfaro application was best; although the kinds t
of manure diifered considrably. And what have c
we in opposition, any facts whatever? Not one; a
and only the conjccturo, that the evaporation from c
the surface spread manure must carry off the great. ^
cr and best portion of the food of plants therein contained.
But that such cvaperation cannot thus
act, seems to me to be unquestionably proved by 0
every fact I have mentioned: for, if it did, then
the land of summer cow-pens ploughed up as soon ^
as removed, would, in every case, have produced
better crops, than that of tho unploughed, instead
of doing it in none. Similar results too must have
followed in the other cases I have 6tated, although I

connection with these facts we state tho fol- 1
lowing: Two brothers held different opinions on *
this subject; the one supposing that manure is injur '
ed by exposure to the sun, the othor that it is 1
not. The latter in manuring a field for oat? in c
1840, spread the manure from the wagons as if was y
hauled out. Two or three weeks after this part of '
the work wus commenced another set of hands ^
was employed in sowing the oats and ploughing '
them in with the manure. These overtook tho 1
hands engaged in spreading the manure before that c
operation had been finished. Of course the part of
tho manure carried out last was ploughed in immc. r
diately aflor it was spread, whilst that first carried *
out lay two or three weeks exposed to sun and wind '
before-it was ploughed under. The poorest of the *
land was that sown and ploughed last. Late in the
spring tho two brothers wore crossing the field to- *
gether, when the owner perceiving the youngest c
oats and in the poorest land to be the largest end '
most flourishing, expressed his surprize at the fact. 1
The other reminded him of the manner in which '
his manure had been managed, remarking that ho '
observed it at the time, and thought it might test tho
nf thair rnanpftira nnininnu Tlio oat

field of courso was watched with interest by the 1
brothers through its progress to maturity, and the 1
part on the poorest bud, where the manure was '
turned in as soon as spread, continued to gain upon 1
the other. These facts were related to us by the 1
owner of the field, who is determined henceforth to 1
expose his manure to the sun and air as little as pos- 1
- sibla.
But how is the result of this experiment to bo reconciled
with the result of those made by Mr. Garnett
and his neighbors? The reader must judge for
himselfi Nature is not inconsistent Her laws
and operation we always the same in the same
circumstances. It' either is or not injured by exposure.
If injured in Virginia; it is injured in South
Carolina; and if injured at ono time, it is at all
Limes. One solution occurs to us of the apparent
discrepancy in the eases before us. May it not bo
lhat the solid manure in all Mr. Garnett's cowpens,
seen those which were ploughed soonest, was materiilly
injured by exposure so to the sun before it was
turn* d in, and that the improvement of the land is
ascribable chiefly to the liquid manure, or urine??
If so, may not the pens which were ploughed as
soon as the cows were removed, have been injured
by turning up and exposing the soil which had absorbed
the urine, and thus allowing this fertilizing
ingredient to be evaporated by exposure to the winds
md the heat of a summer's sun? If this supposition
be correct, the fact that cow-pens are injured
3y| pluoughmg when the cows are removed makes
Xgainsi, ana n?)i iur9 me uieurjr umi uiaituic is nut
injured by exposure; Further experiments are per.
haps still needed to settle the question. VVe suggest
the following. 1. That the solid manure be
ill carefully removed eveiy morning from a cow-pcn
Lo a compost heap, and that the pen be ploughed
when the cows are removed. 2. That the samo
sows with the same treatment, be continued on an
idjoining pen, of the same size, for the same lengtii
if time; that the manure be care&illy removed from
:his also every morning to a compost heap, and that
lie pen be not ploughed till planting time. 3. Let
:hcn tho solid manure stand on two pens, rnd the
>ne be ploughed and the other not; which is only a
epctition of Mr. Gurnett's experiment. 4. Let the
nanurc bo gathered from two other pens every mornng
and thrown into holes, covered to shelter them
rom sun and rain. Let that gathered from one of
he pens be evenly spred on the ground as soon as
he cows are removed, and ploughed in. Let that
rom the othor be protected as mu :l> as possible from
10th sun and wind till the time of planting and then
>0 spread and ploughed in.
If these experiments were carefully conducted
hey would show the relative value of solid and
iquid manure of cowpens, as well as the effect of
ixposure upon manure.?Cheraw Gazette.

)N THE VALUE OF PEAS AS A CROP, AND
TO PREVET INJURY TO STOCK FEED.
ING THEREON.
Hancock County, Ga. April 13, 1840.
10 ine i^aitor oj itte farmers Kegtsler:
I have for several years placed a high value on
he pea crop, as poculiarly adapted to our agriculure
and wants in this section. It appears to me
nore fertilizing than any green crop we grow, grows
allor on poor land, is easily planted, does not binler
us much during the busy season, and in every
vay, is a fine accompaniment to a corn crop, and
urnishes a fine amount of fall and winter proevnder
or stock, (which wc are generally much wanting;)
>ut I have heretofore thought it left my stock, par.
icularly my hogs, in an unhealthy condition, and
>n that account loss valuable than it at fir6t promised.
I have used much inquiry and thought to find a
emcdy for this defect, and hope I have succeeded;
>ut it will be necessary to tost the remedy more fuly,
and on that account I send it to you, if you
hink it worthy, for the use of your subscribers.
Last fall I was conversing on that subject with a
lonest practical farmer. He told me for a number
>f years he had used the pea crop in fattening the
nostof his stock, that they throve as kindly on
hat as on corn, and that none wero injurod by it;
ind he gave me his plan. He prepared in the pea
acid a large tight trough, and kept it at all times
ivell supplied with salt ashes, disiolvcd in water.?
He never turned hungry stock into the field, only
turning iu his horses, cows and fattening hogs. I
tried it last season, and the result was precisely as
lie informed me; they all appeared fond of drinking
aut of the trough, and were healthy, and did woll
ifier they wcro turned off on other food. I used
the precaution to turn my horses and cows off two
or three days each week, and I would suggest that
horses or oxen should never be put to hard work
while filled with peas. Nor would I suffer my
stock hogs to feed on them; they are, I think, more
unhealthy for young t,han older hogs.
I cannot close this without giving a hearty "well
done" for your bank comments in the Farmer's Ro
gister for March, and the political essays in the at
cond number of tho "Southern Magazine." 4*

CIRCULAR LETTER TO PLANTERS ANI
FARMERS.
We would respectfully call the attention of thosi
interested in Agriculture, to the change which w<
have made in the SOUTH CAROLINA TEM
PERANCE ADVOCATE, the present Volume
the gentlemen who have the control of this paper,
having determined to enlarge it, so as to afford more
room for Agricultural intcligence, and thus make il
a more valuable paper to Planters and Farmers.
We think every intelligent Planter will admit,
that an Agricultunal paper is needed in Columbia;
being a central point in tho.^tate, the Seat of Go.
vernment, and the place where the State Agricultural
Society holds its Aftnual Meeting. There should
be an organ here, for the State Society. It is how.
ever, a very difficult matter to get up a paper, devo.
ted exclusively to Agaiculture, with a sufficient
number of subscribers to sustain it. This has been
clearly shown, by the brief existence of the Carolina
Planter, though under an Editor of talents and
learning, and enriched as it was, by communicalions
of numerous and intelligent correspondents.?
But the proposed change in the Temperance Advo
cate will meet at the threshold this difficulty,
as we bring to the aid of those who desire an Agricultural
paper in Columbia, a ready furnished list of
at least twenty-five hundred subscribers. We offer,
too, to enlarge our paper, and devote half of it to
the interest of Planters and Farmers: and the amount
of Agricultural intelligence contained in one
half of a weekly paper of the size we have made
the Advocate, will, we think, be quite sufficient to
meet the wants and wishes of those interested in
Agriculture.
In thus offering our paper as ar. Agricultural or.
gan, there is one ground of appeal in its behalf,
which, though we should urge it with modesty, it
is not proper we should pnss unnoticed. This paper,
from tlio time it was first issued until the present,
has devoted ev.ry week a larger portion of its
columns to Agriculture, than any other paper in the
State. In fact, it has been from the first, in part,
an Agricultural paper, and we think on this account
is not without some claims to tho support of those
interested in Agriculture.
With these remarks, wc leave it to our fellow citi.
xens to decide, whether we shall be sustained in out
cnterprize. The expenses of publication will be ol
course increased by enlarging the paper, but the sub.
Bcription price will remain the same as heretofore
? 82 50, if paid within six months; or $3, if pay.
mcnt is delayed longer than that time.

Queen Victoria, the Persecuted. Il
there is any one thing more ridiculous thar
all others, it is the seven-day's wonder
made by the American press, of any thin"
& every thing pertaining to British Royalty.
Poor Victoria, from the day she ascended
the Throne, to the day the Baby was
"laid on the table," she had a dog's time
of it, with the penny-a-line scribblers, and
miserable gossipping Editors, who filled
their papers from week to week, about
her private affairs. If she happened to
take a walk, to get a mouthful of fresh air
and an appetite for dinner, the astounding
fact was not only lormally "gazetted,"
copied and re-copied, that she was a bona
fide biped and put one foot before the other
in walking, but her very gait and carriage
were accurately described. Whether
she walked parrow-toed or straight
ahead, or turned her toes out. It was not
only definitely known in England, Scotland
and Irelaad, but freely gossipped
from Maine to the Texas line, whether
Victori ate biscuit or buckwheat cakes
for breakfast; and if the latter, whether
with or without molasses.
It was known to a fraction when Prince
Albert "popped the question," and the
newspapers had settled the wedding day
long before Albert found out whether
there was to be any wedding at all.
As the Queen was fairly married, it as
formally announced in the newspapers

and half the Editors straightway seemed
to imagine themselves ex-officio Professors
of a particular branch of medical science,
and gave forth, from week to week, oracular
intimations touching certain tipies and
seasons.
At last a child was born sure enough,
and for the life of us, we can see no great
matter of wonder in it poor little thing,
like its mother, it has had very little peace
since its birth; and we thought never
would, unless its daddy should take his gun
to go to shooting Editors. "Rock-a-byBaby"
you may now take a little nap,
for your scribbling persecutors have started
a new game, that will keep them going
until '-the fall."

Advocate.
Filial Affection.?I -was forcibly
struck with an interesting instance of filial
affection which met my observation in the
i-l person of a little boy, who perished on
'ooard of the brig Sine, which was ship-1
wrecked in the month of September, 1817,1
on her passage from Liverpool to Boston.
) The vessel in the early part of her voyage
had the misfortune to run down the brig
3 Dash, which was sunk in the encounter.
5 This accident, so disastrous to the latter,
wasjalmost equally deleterious to the Sine,
' for the injury she sustained was so impor-1
' tant that the captain deemed it necessary
to return to Liverpool to repair. This ob'
ject she was not, however, permitted to
effect; for, shortly after, she struck on the
! Platters, off the Welsh coast, near to the
Skerries light-house. The water rushed
iin with great rapidity, and sue uegsm iu
I sink. The scene that ensued was dreadful.
The vessel, besides her crew, carried
thirty two passengers, and she had but
; two boats attached, one a long boat, and
the other a very small one, consequently,
some of the unfortunates on board must
inevitably perish. In this state of affairs,
amidst the agonizing shrieks of dispair and
terror, the boats were tilled, and were
about to put off, while the boy I have mentioned
and his mother yet remained on
. the wreck. The mother was refused admittance,
but it was agreed to receive the
child into the boat. But the mind of the
infant was of no common mould;?the
hope of self-preservation was not sufficient
to induce him to desert a motneriri nisiruss,
and to the hand that was stretched to save
him a firm denial. "No," said he "I will
remain and die with my mother!" He did
remain, and, clasped in the reciprocated
embrace of filial and maternal affection,
. they sunk together in the bosom of the unre
lenting deep.

1 A FRAGMENT.
"I was five years old when my mother
: died; but her image is as distinct to my
1 recollections now that twelve years have
elapsed, as it was at the time of her death.
I remember her as a pale beautiful, gentle
being, with a sweet smile, and a voice
that was soft and cheerful when she praised
me; and when I erred, though I was
! a wild, thoughtless child, there was a
trembling mildness about it, that always
went to my little heart. And then she was
so kind, so patient; methin^s I can now

." because of my childless waywardness,
f and hear her repeat: 4i\ly child, how can
i you grieve me so?" 1 recollect she had for
( a long time been pale and feeble, and that
; sometimes there would come a bright spot
, on h r cheek, which made her look so
. lovely, 1 hat I thought she must be well,
i But then she sonetimes spoke of dying,
i and pn ssetf me to her bosom, and told me
| "to be good when -he was gone, and to
I love my father a great deal, and be kind to
him, for he would have no one else to love."
, I recollect she wasv^ry sick all day, and
my little hobby horse and whip were
r laid aside, and 1 tried to be very quiet.?
' I did not see her for the whole day, and
, it seemed very long. At night they told
, me mother was too sick to kiss me, as she
always used to do before 1 went to bed,
, and 1 must go without it. But I could
not?I stole into the room, and laying my
lips close to hers whispered, "Mother,
mother, won't you kiss me?"?her lips
were very cold: and when she pot her
. arin around me, laid my head upon her
boso and one hand upon my c eek, I
f It a cold shuddering creep all over me.
My father carried me from the room; he
could not speak. After they put me in
bed I lay a long while thinking. I feared
mv mother would indeed die, for her
cheek felt os bold as my little sister's did
when she died, and they laid her in the
ground. But the impression of mortality
are always indistinct in childhood, and I
soon fell asleep. In the morning I hasten- !
ed to my mother's room. A white napkin
covered her face, I removed it?it was 1
just as I feared. Her eyes were closed; 1
her cheek was cold and hard, and .only 1
the lovely expression that always rested 1
upon her lips remained. In an instant all 1
the little faults for which she had so often 1
reproved me, rushed into my mind. I j

on the threshold of eternity, her affection

This resolution I have never forgotten. It
helped me to subdue the way wardness of
childhood, protected me through the
temptations of youth, and will comfort

of manhood. Whatever there is that is
estimable in my character, I owe to the
impressions of goodness made upon my

vs. Heads.?A very clever mixture
of parody, parable, personification,
pantomine and mythology, now doing at
the Buwerp, merits more than a passing
notice of the press. The character of the
performance will be readily inferred from
the title, but we think the reader will find
a short sketch of its incidents, &c., amus- *
ing. The first scene presents a man formerly
well known as William Shakspeare,
once considered immortal. The interlocutors
with him are Mesdanes the Drama.
Fame and the dialogue is cleverly managed
by extracts from certain once highly
esteemed dramas. The next scene is in
the Hartz Mountains, where the presiding
demon, at the instance of Folly, provides
somebody to play the very demon with the
:Jrama, The apparition which is invoked
and produced to order, looks exceedingly
like Fanny Elssler, and after a pusvanishas.
Another scene represents a serenade,
and another a theatre, on the stage of
which the sprite from the Hartz mounains
is literally covered with flowers, 'Wt
ihowered down by baskets full. In one
aart of the piece the Baltimore coachIrawing
scene, where men made beasta
jr burthens of themselves, is enacted. At
i magic word, the heads of the men in harms*
turn to asses' heads. This part of
he performance, as indeed do all part?i *
irins; down shouts of applause, ?v . wThe
universal verdict is that this affair
<rafe ofth i h??r and m >st wittv ever
iroduced upon the Njw Y vrk stage. In
& clever extravagance it convulses the
muse with lauuhter or shakes it with ap.
Su e. The true and only way to make
he drama popular, is thus <o "paint folly
is it flics" in local sketches.
