From the Southern AgriculturisL P4Mats ,dapted to Soiling in the South. A lack of green food is one of the evils of Southern husbandry. It causes'.-miserable looking stock to aboninerom one end of the coun try to other. It is true, the sea dosotlro are not adapted to the con tin'uousprodiiction of an abundant 4 ply of. such desirable food, bnt wherecant:we find tho country iu which the products of a vi-gin soil forever continue? Man mest set his 'hands to work, to supply these *ants, and if care and proper fore thought be bestowed, the remedies are'altays t0 be found to supply these arid similar defects. Grazing, for slhee and neat cattle, is practicable o thosp soils which produce grass \vell; .but with our hot sunshine and arid-hills, there are few spots in the plinting .portion of the South, which furnish a sufficient quantity of her bage forsuch purposes. It is nev dr'practicable, nor should it be, un der any circumstances, to graze hor ses and inules which are daily en gaged 'in the cultivation of the crop- as they should have an abun dan -of such food as their natures require, placed before them where they could eat to satiety, without toiling to gather it themselves. In point of economy, there have been =nany arguments upon the relative oi-bfit of the two systems; but when OAY*e look at the value of manure, the paucity of our grazing grounds plain ly, point out to the planter that soil ing is the cheapest, because it is the Most pioductive of those ingredients iyhichkeep up and increase the fer- I tility..of his cultivated fields. Rest and quiet, conducing to the rapid ac- t cumnationof muscle and fat, in most tie animnls add . arCu t tter. Sheep, however, are an exception to this rule. and in our cli mate cannot be kept in a healthy con dition, unless they have a wide range 1 and plenty of exercise. This is ow ing more to a requirement of the cli mate than to anything else. As not one planter in one hundred has the proper means of furnishing good pas turage for his cattle, a general re commendation in favor of soiling, would not be amiss; and as we be lievo it to be the true policy to be I pursued, from more reasons than the c limits of this article would permit - usto set down, we shall proceed to I enumerate such plants as we believe I adapted to soiling, and which are generally not cultivated and appreci- 1 ated in the South: Barley is a crop highly produc- I tive of green forage, if properly ma- 1 nured. The common winter, or - four rowed barley, has long been i sown'and appreciated in many parts < of the country, and being fully accli i mted,' should form the basis of I the body of it. There are, however, 1 other varieties which may yet sup- f plant this kindl in the estimation of out planters. It is a safe rule with< any.grog, to hold fast to that which has alwaysiproved itself good. We,are now, experimenting with< ' retew varieties of barley, viz: the Barley Bigqge, the Chevalier, arid the Black C'heltenhamar. With one year's trial, we have found the Bar hey Bigge 'very productive-the Chevalier being a spring variety, was improperly sown in the fall, and had to undergo the extreme freezing of 1851-52, and did not therefore do as well as it might have done un der more favorable culture. The Black Cheltenham is a singular and, i .we believe, a valuable grain, with standing the most severe cold and being highly productive. It grows fully four inches taller than the oth er kinds of barley, tillers well, and I the leaves are broad and succulent, ] furnishing more green feed to the acre than any other variety. The kernel of this variety is very large, of I a deep blue-black color, and of I heavy weight. We are not disposed 1 to overrate novel products, but must say that we have high expectations I respec'ting this variety of bairley. An: acre of barley, made very rich, will, furnish several mowings of green fed-i der for soiling a large lot of ani anals, and it is not only better relish e d than any other green food availa b~le for one stock, but is extremely nu-< (ritive. It can be fed to horses and eattle u~ntil the beard begins to har- i den, wheu its use must be discontin nled. To hogs it can he fed during I every stage. We regard barley as the most valuable grain which flour ishes in our climate, as it always make a good crop if properly put in, From the winter moisture in the earth. It is not liable to be cut off )y spring droughts like wheat and yats, and its ripened grain fed, ground into barley meal, or simply iwelled by steeping in water, is 'ar better food than Indian Corn or >ats, for all kinds of stock. Guinea Grass is one of the most Luxuriant of the grasses, growing on our ordinary pine land seven and .ight feet high, in less than three months. The history of this grass is not well known, although it has been successfully cultivated by some of >ur best agriculturists, for a long time. [t was first discovered on the coast of Guinea, from whence it was brought :o Jamaica, where, in poir.t of utili. ;y it ranks next to the sugar cane. 'he stock raising farms throughout ;he island were chiefly by means of Xuinea Grass, and in that arid cli. nate it bestows verdure and fertili :y on soils which otherwise would iot deserve occupation. Cattle eat it t >oth in a fresh and dry state, and it i nakes a coarse but most excellent lay. We first received information I >f Guinea Grass from our friends, the < ate Ion. J. R. Poinsett and Col. I Perry E. Duncan, of Greenville, in v his State. We planted it in a T mall wet corner, to keep it out of t he way of spreading, and in the < pring of 1852, we planted six rows E ix feet apart and fifty yards long, I vith a thin stocking of the roots. This t rround would now furnish roots suffi. I :ient to plant out several acres. It - tas sent its long succulent roots in f very direction. completely investing I he ground; and we find that these 1 oots are relished by all kinds of i lomestic animals. It grew upward of E Se iBg. ee0 . Ne are not certain but it% did per- 1 ect seed, although it is asserted that t he climate here is too short for s his plant to perpetuate itself in that i vay. It would furnish the very best a )asture in summer, and as a win. i or pasture for swine and sheep, the t -oots are fine. For soiling, to our < nind, it would furnish more food, by < louble, than any other production of I he earth. Some might object to t he perpetual occupation of the soil ] y this grass, when once it is plant. I d in it, but to any one who wishes a i ;ood supply of herbage, this would I >o no bar to its culture. To ensure a r ieavy crop, the field should be plow. I d up in winter, and the roots fed off y hogs or sheep. These animals i vould add a good coat of manure in I hus thinning out the roots, which is N iecessary, as it soon degenerates i vhen allowed to get too thick in i he ground. A deep plowing in the I pring, with a liberal top dressing, I vill always convert the field into the I )cst of meadows for mowing either t iay or soiling food. This grass ef. i ectually prevents the land from < vashing, and as it delights in a: Iry, deep soil, would succeed in ill parts of the State; for if the soil vere not sufficiently dry and deep, it I ould made so by draining and 2 ;ood plowing. It is as easily propa-i ated as the Jerusalem Artichoke, ~nd in a few years we hope to see it xtensively cultivated, as a means of< urnishing a bountiful supply of I ~reen food to stock during the sum ner months, as well as for hay grass. Dourba Corn and tile kindred va -ieties, Guinea Corn, (itolcus) Sor i/hum) the Great Indian Millet, (Sor hkum,) Valdgore, are extremely val able annuals for fair production, and ield large quantities of green food, 1ch in saccharine matter. They al :o make good hay for stock, it is ur opinion, tested by experience, a' hat these gigantic grasses are indis- t >ensable to the planter, and their no extended cultivation should be t ncouraged. The seed of all these' >lants are valuable food for poultry, >igeons, &c. In another article we tave given our experience with these ;rasses, in sustaining hogs during he summer months. The Indian t ?ea should not be overlooked, .wheni re recommended products furnish.< ng good material for soiling and for. C go. When planted on rich lands, it < fWords a large supply of nutritious C ;reen food, which, thlough not ex-i eedingly relished by all stock, is ' xtremely valuable. Dr. Gee. Bat cy, of Rome, Georgia, recommends he cultivation of the common Eng-. ish or earden pea. sown brodcast snd highly manured with guano, as a Dne of the best and most productive r oiling crops for the early months. It thus may be made to supply vetches, t io much used by the English farm. r rs for such purposes. He says- r 'Put in one acre this spring in Eng- t lish peas, as a soiling crop for your i mules, and next season you will v put in ten." ,The English pea could v De sown in our climate early in Jan. d lary, and would come off early mough to allow a fine after crop of v .orn to mature on the well prepared r md manured soil, necessary to per- F Fect this crop; or it might, with ad. t litional manuring, be followed by d tweet potatoes, turnips, barley s >r wheat. We must not omit to name, as per- s iapd the most valuable soiling p :rop for its season, the sowing of In. ti lian corn, broadcast, upon soil high- t y manured. This is a crop which h ibounds in saccharine matter, the d italks invariably being richer in this iubstance when not allowed to go in- 81 :o ears. We feed largely of this ti ood, and find that every animal e hrives upon it. It is every way wor- o hy of extensive trial. it Of all the clovers which have been k ried in the South, Lucerne (Medi- s !ago Satira) is the only one which P ias yielded any satisfactory results as S soiling crop. Upon soils deeply )repared and highly enriched, it iffords for a number of years a suc-e ession of the very best food. It is 1 deep rooted plant, and we have n raced its taproot of a single year's if ;rowth to a depth of five feet. ''his g iabit proves its value and hardihood d -not being susceptible to the in- U luence of droughts. It is the very est bordering for the beds of the u :itchen garden-being profitable and ot interfering with the growth of ;arden vegetables. We have fre. I uuTU:wi in :illed out by the native, grasses of a be country. This is sure to re- s ult from two causes: First--when e he land is not made sufficiently rich Y nd deep. Secondly--when there s not a proper quantity of seed used o completely stock the soil immedi- 0 S4 tely, so as to exclude all other oc upation by other plants. Our rule is o sow sixteen pounds of seed to he acre, with spring barley, and tI Tebruary is the period we prefer for si mtting it in. By doing a good part n a planting Lucerne, it will certain. It y repay for the trouble. It will n tot succeed on soils with et, re entive subsoil." We have thus given hastily our S1 deas upon this important system; and iavo only done so with the hope that il ve may induce some of our readers to it ndulge in experiments in soiling du- d ing the present season. Let them b >lant some crop-we care not what it e nay be-and feed it during a given t eriod of time to these animals, DO ing the difference in their improve. tI nent and condition, from those peri idAs when they are forced to glean a Deagre subsistance from the poor pas- e, ures. If this is done, experimrent eC all effect more than all the an- p ;uments we could pen during the fl 'ear. It is to these results that e ne look for proof of our rocotmmenda ions-and if proper examples are C nado by experiment, we are soiling b ver all other modes of feeding green ood to stock. From the Sou thern Agriculturist. n L. liquid Fertilizer for Choice Plants, BY AN AMATEURI. I DEAR Sgm-I am confident, that here are many of your lady readers,g nid perhaps inny of the other sex, e ho are puzzled atmong the many new ranures, and have failed u ith some, nd injured their laniits with others, hey end by raising only sickly and ncagre plants, when they might have hemt presenting a luxuriant and sat sfactory appearance-with leamves of a lie darkest green and flowers ora ruit of double the usual size, Having made a trial for three years I 'ast, with a perfectly safe and satis. ictory liquid fertilizer, which appears tI oi suilt all kinids of vegetation, which c lean and easily applied, and pro. ti ured without diflietulty, 'n any town,1 I o onfidently recomtmend it to your read. tI rs, especially those who wish to give b special p~ains to, and1 get uncelriommo esults fromu, certain favorite plants- ot Ithor in pots or in the open garden4 -plants, whose roots are within such ? moderate compass, tliat thecy cani e reached two or three times a week, if tI ot oftener, b~y the wvatering-pot. k This liquid fertilie is made bydi. . olving half an ounce of sulphate 6fm. ronia in a gallon of water.

I lay say, at the outset, thit weak as ,is solution appears to be, and is, plants are watered with it daily, they rill die-just as certainly as a man rill who drinks nothing but pure bran y. The'right way to . apply it is, - to nater the plant with this solution eve. y sixth time, the other five times with lain water. The proportion is so simple, and ie mode of using it so easy to un erstand, that the most ignorant per. :n cannot possibly blunder about it -if he can count six. If we prepare the lution occasionally, and water our lants in pots every . Saturday, with iis ammonia water, and all the rest of ie time with plain water, we shall are a safe rule. The result will, I alit sure, both elight and surprise eve person who ill make a trial of it. it has become ich an indispensable thiig with me, iat I regularly mix a b4rrel of it ev y Friday, and use it on'Saturday, up n any plants that I particularly wish to ivigorate and stimulate.

Walker, of the Vicksburg Sentinel, is being chap eroned through tome of the gaitics of the Federal capital. His primitive ideas of female propriety seem dread fully shocked at the dressing and dan cing of the fair daughter1, wives and sisters of the Salons.of this great and glorious Republic. The dane he speaks of de think,is the.sed.wo saw elabora .Qdiast Wfiier4 t11 soireqo at th j Orleans, so graphically desoribed by .Ben. Jonsi)g, etlled the the Red War dance-and in fashionable circles the Redowa. Dear, austere friehd Walk er, you should do as Jonathan Slick did at the opera, put your silk bandan na handkerchief before your eyes, and be sure not to peep between the fin gers of your yellow gloves. We give an extract: " There was only one thing in which all seemed to agree-that was, to leave uncovered as much of their busts as possible. It appeared to one just from the land of alligators, musquitoes and sunshine, where Indies have kept up the old fashion of dressing all over, that they had put their dressing on in a great hurry, and had protruded their bodies six or eight inches too far through; and hence, as an old lady of good taste justly remarked, "they come too low down, and didn't come high e'nough up;" the milliners, too. careless creatures, forgot to put sleeves to the dresses, and the ladies all had the ex treme mortification, poor things, of ap pearing in a very large crowd of gen tlemen with their arms bare up to their shoulders ! Horrid in those mil liners! The gentlemen-kind, modest creatures as they are--blushed a little at first, and held their scented cam brics befibre their eyes, but they soon recovered from their embarrassment, and it all seemed to be nothing after they got used to it. "Altoget her, from the haste of the ladies in shoving themselves through their dresses and the enlpable neglect of the milliners in not putting in the sleeves, I would say that the bodies of the Jadies were not over half covered; and what singular, and sustains my idea of their having crept a little two far through, in their haste to dress and be at, the ball last, is, that the skirts of all the short ladies, and a few of the tall o.ncs, were from eight to twelve inches long and swept the floor for yards behind the wearer. There was another thing which a backwoodsman like myself could not exactly unde stand. Sonme of the ladies while dan cing wvould seize hold of the skirts oef their dresses and raise them about eigh teene inches, and stretch themi out at arm's length, reminding one0 of a buz zard in wet weather, thus exposing to view a handsomely ornamented second skirt, and then swing around at an amazing rate. "The only other peculairity was a new dance called the "Scottiche Dance. which I saw for the first time, I will give as necar as words can, a descrip tion of it. JThe gentleman takes the lady's right haund in his left, places his haund and arm atround her wvaist, draw ing her close against his breast; she places her left hand and chin on his rig::t shoulder, and leans her cheek gently against his whisker8, if he has any; they then pitch off in leap frog fashion, stop, and keep time by a sort ofjig.ajig, jig ajig motion; then leap frogr gain. and co nalternately 1nann ferog and jigpjgjeJig-jig. s ar, the most ungraceful, unbecomin and re diculous dance I over, or any body else~ D.Oltxu A jD naie. Some knoiv fowto do it, and can scent a duti at any distance, and can dodge hin effectively. It is a knaAk acquired by long experience. If the dun, howvever, by his experience be comes expert, the duneo stands small chance of escape. The dun becomes equally sensitive in detecting the debtor, and often are practiced be. tween the two, nianeuvlres that would palo the reputation of even Napoleon himself. We heard a story, the other lay, of old Dr. G.--, of Portmouth, which, though not having any very great reverancy to the preceding paragraph, is nevertheless to the point as regards the dunning. For there is a wide difference between the amateur and the professional. Dr. G-- was a man of great in tegrity and worth, and his business habits were on the square-exacting everything that was his own, and paying every man his duo. le held a note against a gentleman of Hamp ton for some considerable amount, and whenever lie met him, the Dr. was ready, note in hand, for the pay. ment of the instalment. It became at last an agonizing dread with the debtor about meeting the Doctor, particularly at a time when troubled with a disease known in financial par lance as "shorts.". . But whenever, he met him, the Doctor's dun would be anticipated by his debtor's move ment for his pocket book, frequent payments wer&made without seeig the note at all, or enquiringAs to the cbancestod' its eventual payMent. He knew that thp .locto was , 114P, and gat woow b a r A great'dearth of funds mad him more shy of meeting the Doctor, ind as he passed through the town' his eyes wandered in all directions to catch a glimpse of his dread creditor, and avoid him if possible. He suc ceeded admirably for a while, and outgeneralled the old man several times; but fato does not always favor the brave. and the doctor, from a dis tant position, saw his victim tie his hoise to a post and enter a store. He made all the haste he could, and entered the store, when his debtor dodged him behind a rice cask. 'Didn't I see Mr.- come in here ?' asked the Doctor. 'He did come in here, sir,' said the shopkeeper, 'but has gone some where now.' The Doctor said he was not in a hurry, and could wait as well as not; he saw his horse at the door, and thought lie would be back before long. The man remained hid and the old Dootor waited a long time. At ist he went out, to th. man's great relief, and after a waile he himself went out, and was just step ping upon his wagon, when the Doc tor darted at him fromi a doorway. 'Well, Mr.-,' said the Doictor, 'you need't dodlge me anyrrore; that note has been paid up these six months, and I have been trying to see you, thett I might p'ay you back twenitv dollars that you overpaid me.' The recollection of hiding behindi a rice cask to avoid being paid twenty dollars, haunted the man as long as he lived, and among other advice wvhich he cave his children was this, contained in a couplet of domestic poetry, written in chalk on the old dresser: ''Never run, When you see a dun."

You know, I presume, how the blacks pursue their devo tions. Well, Sam was in the habit of selecting his toaster's kitchen as the scene of devotions which he held; and these religious services were not con ducted entirely on the plan which a Quaker would altogether approve.
