MANURE AN1) FORAGE. \ Front' the Agricultural Society at Pendleton This sub-committee have had the letter ' of instruction of the chairman of tlie gene- 1 rI committee before them. They have * given the nrittor submitted to them, a * careful consideration, and it lias been (heir ' earnest desire to report sometlrng which might be acceptible to the Society, and T promotive of the objects contemplated in J1 the address of the President of the Slate js Society, at Columbia. ' }e In surrcyinir the Agticnltnral wants ofiv this district, this sub committee are per-'1 siiHili-d that the great wit is llmt (if some 11 productive crop icadily convertible fntoja money. They do not profess to know p lto\v this d? ijriencv mtiv be remedied.? j" Cotton is the most saleable of any of our J 1 Agricultural products, and possessing this N superiority, they.proceed, not to present, a any general directions for its culture, but p to oiler a suggestion which tltey deem of. f? value, to all who cultivate cotton in loett- s turns like this, when the crop is li iblc to y Ise cut oil'by autumnal frosts,. One of litis a sub-committee has long been en staged in n the production nfcoit'oi, and wo have bis c iutliority for saving, that upon old hind tl tvell mau.ureil, cotton matures much more j u productive, than upon either new laird or'it old land not manured. The reason is ,s manifest. The manure acts here upon the (ft same principle upon which it acts in a hoi It bed. The plant is stimulated at every j 1< witii rapiditv -'.rough the va- n riotis stages ol its growth, anil"ariving1 - i i - r.,| speedily at perlccliun, yicius no nun ...... due seas"n. 11 We will here rite a parrllel instance,il- ir lusirating strnnglv, the influence ofstimti- s lating manures in bringing plants speedi- n lv to porf' Ciinn. The Sugar Cane is a t tropical plant, requiring nsnre than Cot- n ton, a hot sitn anil a late fall, it is well u Known dial its juices will not granulate or p make sugar, unless tlie cane attain a ccr- a tain point of maturity. In passing from b this place to the seaboard, il was noted by s one of this sub-committee, that the Cane l matured at?lhe distance of eighty miles a from the ocean, while it did not mature in I the vicinity of the ocean, though enjoying i the advantage of a wanner location. Upon l inquiry, it was ascertained, that this no- t table difference arose partly from the soil i lull mainly from manure. That growing f in the interior, was planted upon a warm t gravel soil, highly cow-penned; that near i the ocean stood upon reel time I swamp c land, not manured?a soil rieh, but cold t " and destitute of those stimulating proper-; t ties, which animal manures alone can con- 1 fer. The suggestion is therefore repeat- f ed. that in all locations where the crop is I ' * ' ? ......In.ul,. fin I Inn I Ilatllc lO DC CUl oil ]ii?. iiiaiui vij , . should be pl aited mainly upon old laud t well inanii. ed. S Seeing the importance of manure, not.t only to this crop, but to every thing cul-j | tivated by the Pendleton farmers, this i sub-committee proceed to offer some ob-jl scrvations on the subject of Foragp, for, t according to the Flemish adage?"JNofor- i age, no cattle, 110 cattle?110 manure, no I crop." 1 1. They recommend that every portion I of valley lfindofa grade too low for the! cultivation of corn, be cleared, grubbed. 1 and devoted to the raising of hay. 11 2. They do not deem it necessary tliat <? j they should sav any thing in commcnda-! 1 ' tion of the red pea. Its praise is in tlie'l * month of every farmer. They advise that j I 9 ^ its cultivation be extended, that it be plant-11 ed in drills by itself, as well as throughout1 ] the corn, that there may be a portion fori I man, a portion for forasre, and a portion !: to be (fathered bv the stock themselves. I They o(Tt*r some su?ifi'stions on the sub-|< ject of gathering the vine for bay. It is 1? well known when the growth of the pea \ I planted amongst the corn, is luxuriant, ilji is tedious to (father the vine, fiom the 11 manner in which it entwines itself around i , fhe stalk. To obviate this difficulty, and ' i at the same time to convert, if practicable, j I the stall; into provender uio miiowmg pom | has been tried upon a portion of valley j * corn fipld, from which it was designed toj: take the vine for forage. As soon as the j blades were gathered, and while stalks' iinil shucks were vet green, tlie corn wa,^ a *ut by a powerful knife,from two to threi* v feet below the ear, and immediately placed i in stooks. White oak tics being provided a these stooks were firmly bound just below v tire tassel; the tassels were then bent < down ail on one side, and the whole top y secured by a second tie. By this simple t jperalion, the top of each stook was made e to resemble the ridge of a thatched house, a ind in practice has been found to exclude .he wet.very effectually. f Two important advantages result from n cutting the corn about two feet below the :?r mill l!iii< s!nirlf>iiinir lhf> sl:i'k. I. ! C rite top of the styok is brought completely h .vithin the reach of the laborer, enabling f tint tint? to adjust iiis ties properly and g securely. 2. The ear, the heavy pari t tonsiistuting the ballast of the stook, is 1 >y such an arrangement, placed very low a ind this protects materially the stook from " teing once thrown. It may be proper to, t stale, thut as touch of the vine as bad' be- " some entwined on the stalk, was severed n jy the same blow which cot off the stalk, I tnd being included in the stook has there c jeen cured as forage. s d Dy this plan all obstructions being rcmo- s rd, llie vines, have been gathered with I' lie greatest faacitity. The shucks and tl talks being green when cut and stacked viII also be converted into provender, be u is quality what it may. I Willi a view of ascertaining what the j I irodnet of pea hay taken from this, land jr< night he, two squares were carefully iS taked out, and the vine standing on thein! ri lit up and weighed. Square No. l, which jg r?:s selected as affording a fair average ofici he field, yielded at the rate of one ton it liree linndrcd weight of cured hay per il ere. Square No. 2, taken from the best w onion of the field, yielded at the rate of ci iic and a half ions of cured hay pcracrc. m 'bis field then of ordinary valley land, to c< liich not one particle of manure has been j t pplied for ten wars, besides producing j hi cr ae; e 25 bushels of corn,: 300 pounds ifr adder, 600 pounds of shuck and corn-1st la IU forage, by rough estimate, will also] ield from a ton to a Ion ami a half per sc ere of this unrivalled forage. And be it ct oi< il, the farmer gets this pea crop at the st <>sl inertly ol sowing and.harvesting, lor IT II* ? le several/!ociiii>s iimi plougliings given! ill ere given to the corn, am! are therefore i ;o ) he charged against that crop. These I w latcnu'nts are made with the hope that r< timers may be brought to realize what st trgo products may be taken from our b< tnds when good in themselves, or when rc tade s i hv the application ?*f ???3 In Vir?fuia o.id Kentucky, and |;i irougfioiit the northern portions of our m Iiiioii, the Indian Corn is cut tip at the et not and placed instooks, wliere the whole \\ talk and a large proportion of hlade, n< re converted into forage. In this coon- p< ry, the blade alone is taken, the stalk re- ;j, lains to perish where it grew. As with ia s, tlicro is confessedly a deficiency of a rovender for the wintering of stock. We , recalled by many motives, by humanity, | (j y interest, by comfort, to convert these s, talks into forage, if practicable. It is a p, hing already produced, we get it merely l the cost of coring it. When lheqiies-ij, ion is asked, why cannot we do here what m s practised so advantageously elsewhere? s, he answer is, "We have no liny new*? y he blade is our only source of fodder, a n I j, f corn with the leaf on be rui and slook- tl ul, in a clirnale so moist anil warm as tliis v lie blade will mildew and be lost." Now sj t is clear that the mildew inns', arise eitli- j ;r from the moisture of the blade, or from (<( lie admission of wet. If from the m"is-!s ure of the blade, that might be obviated ,, iy cutting the corn, pennitling it to wilt'j, "or one day, and then plaring it in slooks. |, iffrom the admission of wet, it is manifest' ^ .hat diflicnlty would cease the moment the s, ;tnuk was rendered water-tight. This c; iub-committee do not presume to decide'j. i point so mooted. The agricultural aractices of a people so sagacious as ours ' u ire entitled to I he greatest respect; and',, die safe rule rule in most cases, is to |{ 5upi ose them to be based on very sub-; ,r stantial reasons. They leave therefore, | |j diis matter to be decided by future experi-! tj ncnts?they content themselves with sla- ? dug the result of a single trial |p %On the 15th of .September, of the cur- Js. rent year, a field of new ground corn with 1 ,| ;he fodder on, was cut down, and iintnc-'p Jiatelv nlaced iu slooks in the manner al-j J I ready described. These stocks, from the L. location of thh field were fully exposed to (j he storm of wind and rain, which occur-1(. reil here on Thursday the 16th September. ,| Not a single stook was once thrown, and ;hough repeatedly examined since, they <( ire affected neither by wet nor mildew. ,, 4- This Sub cornmiitee recommend al- j, >o, the cultivation of the Indian corn in ^ trills,as furnishing an ahmulaut supply of forage. The method of cultivation and manner of using, is as follows: At the usual season of planti g, this fodder corn Is sown in drills four fpel apart; the seed is strewed liberally in the drill at the rale of from two to three bushels per acre; for here; the object is stalk, and not grain.? c * ' .rp/nolln If Iff i .1 rill it 11 ?nl itvw'p L/lll III Si ?iS?

( . ?? ? i . ind it would He covered" and^destroyed.' vore it not that th'fe mass of plants qland-l ng in the drill, enables them fo bear upI gainst the pressure of the earth foiling to ranis them. This has been the practice if 'one of this-' sttb-committeo-for many Lears. Sheaving out the cost, of so.wing, he aniouiit of the several pdougJiings givn, will not exceed, per acre, the labor of single ploughman for a .single day. 'l'he practice.has been to cut it down or forage when it shoots the tassel, and mi before. Like the grnsses, it is not in lerfection until it blooms. It (is readily aten by every description of Stock, and s excellent for soiling and for current use, mm iJip In rap .nnantltv vrhieh- msv be ;rown on a small plot of land, mid from ho facility with which it may be gatheredDip stalks being small, are easily chopped ml are wholy consumed. WJiPTV planted ear the llomesicad, it is cut cjit-from day o day, as needed, and on the farm of one f this sub-cninmittee, it furnishes the rutin supply of fodder from the 1st July iil the middle of October. Toivards the lose of the season, when every blade is iscolored, the stalk?the material part, is weet, crisp and juicy, and as acceptible u stock us at any proceeding period of ie season. In 1810, two squares of fodder corn erc.cutdown and weighed. Square No/ . taken front land equal to not more than o bushels of corn per acre, yielded at the itc of eight tons of green food per acre, quare No. 2. taken from exceedingly ch land, yielded at the rale of20 tone reen food per acre. At the same time, at down some fodder corn, and weighed when green?then suspended it-in the ft of a pole ' barn. "Atthe cndof six eeks, weighed again, and the loss in .ning was precisely 5-9ths, or a little mre than hnlf, Shotihl these results be mfirmcd by farther trials, 'I wyuhl eshlish the fact*tbal a single acre of land ghly manured, is capable of producing inn six to eight tons of this cured corn alk forage. On the IGth day ofAugnst, of the prent year, some of this fodder corn was it down, and immediately placed in ooks in the manner already described, hey were examined by a majority of is sub-cimmitiae-on th?* 1st day of Ocber. The blades as well as the stalk, ere found of good color, and in ?<uind tndiiion, in every insiancein. which the ook was properly put up and securely Mind.

'i' repeat, the object here is stalk and ?t grain, and as in this climate, ihe pro. 1 nsity of Indian corn is to form a gigan- 1 L-stalk.by this system, we take advan- 1 ge of that propensity, and convert it to i valuable Practical use. Throughout thisseetion of country, the 1 feel of the Agriculturist is not to make J > much per acre, so much per hand. Ths ractiee consequently is, to plant largely 1 >the hand, and it is of coures manifestly 1 npracticahle for the Pendleton farmer to 1 ianurf all the land he cultivates, This ' ib-committee advise, therefore, that the an! manure be applied to fields, adjacent the Homestead, while for remote fields, 1 lev recommend the system so ablv ad- 1 orated some years since in the Essays <ined Arator, the production of Col. ho Taylor, of Virginia. This system iinsisis in the exclusion of cattle from the ubhles?in aiving, otcasienally, a year f rest, hut especially effectually plough11? in, during winter, the whole vegetale covered which had accumulated .Viimi thp nrpspilimr mimmer. This 11 "i'r '''*v"' I" ' b # ^ vsloiii h;is been tried partially in this viinity.and '.villi the must decided advan'eP* This sub-committee recommend also, itli the view of rendering: this system lore effective, that vegetable matter of all mils,?bark, leaves, wood in the last ?ta- . es o( decay, be collected in winter, and eposstcd in rail pens on the poorest porous of these remote fields, to be spread pon the land after the second or third toughing, as may he qecmed most adviiblo. Being on the poet, the labor of istribution would be nothing, when comared with the benefit conferred. In conclusion, this sub-committee would iy, that the experiments contained in lis report were single trials, and aie Diiseqiienlly not entitled to the respect tie to the same experiment when repeotd, or to experiments on a more enlarged cale. They beg, therefore, that they iay not be regarded as deciding absolute{ ilie matter discussed, but as affording nlv an approximation to the truth. All which is stibrriit/ed by. JAMES STIJART.
