nf AL. THE HORSE. The season is at hand when the attention of men should be directed to the subject of breed ing horses. Every body in this country knows the usefulness of the horse, “his praises have been often sung” in our time, and in the 39th chapter of Job, when speaking of the horse, he says: “He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear anu is not affrighted: neither turneth he back from the sword! He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off,„ the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. The excellent qualities of this noble animal are not duly appreciated and understood by all. It is conceded that there are different races of the horse, with dissimilar qualities; all adapted to suit the various and important purposes of man; some for the turf, long and short distan ces; some for heavy and slow draught; some for quick travel, (stage or other carriage pur poses;) and a peculiar species or breed which the people of England think excel all others for the hunting field. In fact, an able writer on the subject says that “all the varieties that human imagination can conceive have been produced by crossing and intermixing the dif ferent orignal stocks"” If such be the fact, and I am inclined to believe it, what remains for breeders to do hut to keep each class ol horses separate and distinct, the one from the other. Thirty years experience and observa tion has taught me to believe that it is but fol ly and a throw-away of money when a com mon mare, of blood only for tho draught or quarter speed, is bred to a horse of stock or blood of a four mile racer; such a course of breeding is well calculated to keep down the reputation of the best blood for long racing. If a colt to run a long distance is required, the dam as well as the sire must have the requisite qualities—as a proof of this assertion,let me ask how many four mile racers have you known produced from Janus mares; and how many quarter-mile racers have you known produced from four mile mares without, or even with ‘a cross of the Janus blood? Os the former class, so numerous at tho [present day, I scarcely know or read of one, (I mean a four-mile run ner,) but what is connected to the illustrious, imported sorrel Diomede, the sire of the re nowned old Sir Archie, both of which, and their descendants were capital four-mile run ners. Os the latter class, (a quarter race horse,) I do not know or read of one but what is a descendant of the imported Janus, and very often a cross of the imported ;boar naught is found to exist, although remote. Ifi raising a Fox Dog would you mix the hound with tho pointer? in raising the bird dog wouid you cross the pointer with the bull dog? in raising the bull whose quality is to seize and hold fast, would you add a cross of the Terrier, (the ratcatcher.) Such a course of breeding is very objectionable, and will apply with equal force, as well to the horse as to the dog. In selecting a horse to breed to, it is all important that one should bo chosen whose size and form are well calculated to improve such defects as tho mare possesses, if any. The quality of each should also be regarded as worthy of notice; and an effort made to re move such objections as may exist, if any. It is too much the custom to breed from the stallion of some friend and neglect your own. Some breed to a horse because he is conveni ent, and in many instances because the season is given; whilst others who know but little of the history of the blood horse cannot estimate the true value of the different crosses. To such I would say what the last General Assembly of North Carolina said upon tho subject of applying the surplus revenue, after some of the members from the northern sec tion of the state Imprudently obtained leave of absence and quit the turf, "Reconsider"— and if the blood of your mare is sufficiently strong with four-mile stock tojustify it, you would do woll to keep up the stock by a judicious cross upon tho blood. If your mare is pretty much mixed with the blood of Janus, or any other stock whose blood is not highly distinguished for the longdistance racer,you certainly would do well to try a horse of great speed for a short distance. If to raise a draught horse is your object, try to select a stallion of fine size, good gait, gentle qualities, good eyes, and large, lean, bony legs and good feet- By the above rule of breeding our northern brethren • have obtained the best horses for their purpos- ■ cs that the world affords, some of which re- j markable roadsters carry a sulky and driver in a brisk trot one mile in 2 minutes and 40 to , 50 seconds. From 12 to 16 miles an hour in a trot is but common work.— Millon Spectator, j From the Silk Grower and Agriculturist. EXPERIMENT WITH POTATOES. Mr. Cooke; In No. 19 of your paper I find the account of an experiment by .Mr. Hazen, which together with that made by Mr. Hatch of A latent!, and published by you some time since, would almost seem sufficient to satisfy the reader without my communication, but as I had, previous to seeing Mt. Hazen’s publica tion, prepared a history of an experiment I had made with considerable care, and with more mathematical precision than cither of those, I send it for your consideration, with li liberty to publish it if you see fit, as different results may arise from different modes of man. agement, on different soils, &c. I consider that a goodly number of experiments on the same subject, to be not amiss. About the 29th of May, 1936, when plant. ing my potatoes I left five rows for experiment, •on each side of which I planted the row with one good fair sized whole potatoe to each hill; I then planted the five rows in the following manner: The first row with 3 to 4 small ones laid scattering to each hill, making about the same amount of seed, by weight, of the I then took the seed-ends, taking as near half of the potatoe as I could judge, from a good si zed potatoe, like those generally planted in the field, and to each hill laid two of these pie ces 6 or 8 inches apart —next 1 selected some quite large and took enough of the seed-end to be of equal weight each of one good fair sized potatoe, being generally about half of the great potatoe, and to each hill put one of these seed-ends —the 4th row I cut into quarters and planted scattering about 8 inches apart, all four of the quarters to each hill—the sth row was planted with two good fair sized wholes to each hill, (double the seed of the °rest) then next to them as you will understand, came my wholes, planted 1 to the hill, as I before stated. Now for the result. To make the story plain, I took as much ground of each sort, as produced 100 pounds from"those planted with the wholes of good fair size. Ist row, planted with the small ones, 89 pounds, but only about two-thirds as large as an average of the others. 2d row, planted two’seed-ends to the hill, 87 2-3 d pounds, and the size about like the produce of the wholes. 3d row, planted with one seed-end of a large potatoe to the hill, 92 1-2 pounds, thefproduce of these being fair and handsome. 4th row, planted with 4 quarters to the hill 90 lbs. of a quality rather below medium. sth]row, planted with too good potatoes to the hill, 105. pounds, having rather more small ones than those planted with single wholes,and although they produced the greatest crop by 5 per cent., yet it is estimated this surplus is on ly about half enough to compensate for the ex tra amount of seed planted; therefore, on the whole we find the greatest profit in planting one good sized whole potatoe to each hill, pro vided the distance of hills be suehjas I usually make, that is 4 feet by 2 1-2. But if you are intent on making the hills further apart, then perhaps it may do to put two good ones to the hill, but in no ordinary case do I approve of cutting. Repeated experiments in formcryears have fully convinced me on this point; even cutting into planting both pieces is not quite as good as to plant whole, for in cut ting we mutilate the germs of the coming plant with which nature has furnished each potatoe, and being thus lacerated, it is rendered inca pable of throwing up so vigorous and perfect a plant, and hence deterioration must be the consequence. NATHAN WILD. From tho Farmer’s Cabinet. FARMING. It has been the prevailing custom with the farmers of New Jersey, for many? years, to plough their sward for corn, that they might raise more than in tilling otherwise. I admit it is a good mode to till on the sward, and has always been allowed so by first rate farmers; but find it greatly to my advantage to reverse the practice, inorder to prevent the worm ma king such sad havoc in my corn fields. About six years ago I planted twenty acres on the sward, and out of that the worms took eight, scarcely leaving a hill to be seen. The tenth day of June I had it planted over again, think ing the worms would not disturb it so late in the season, but still they preyed upon it, leav iag about one half to grow. The next spring I came to the conclusion to farm differently; instead of ploughing the sward, I ploughed up my stubble field, gave it a good harrowing,fur rowed it out both ways, marled and manured every hill, and then planted the corn. In a bout a fortnight, 1 made a visit to the field for the express purpose to see if my corn had got up, or if the worms were taking it as they for merly had. I must acknowledge, that never since I have been a farmer, have I had my corn to come up as well; and I am fully satis fied, that it is the best manner to farm where we are harrassed with worms or other insects. Although the field which I farmed had two crops in succession; yet, notwithstanding, the third crop was much better, sounder corn, than I had raised for many years till I adopted this plan. The manure I had left was considerable, af ter taking out enough to go over the cornfield; and of the remaining part I made a compost, mixed with marl or lime, which made it much better for wheat than to put it on in separate bodies or portions. Tho field that came in regular rotation to plant with corn, I ploughed up for wheat and rye. After the process of ploughing was over, I took the three horse harrow; gave it a thor ough harrowing both ways, to make the fur- ' rows lay level, that the grassroots might rot. Before the usual time of sowing camo on, I took what manure I had, and put it on regular- ; ly, till it was gone. The part ofthe field which had no manure, 1 sowed in rye, and the part 1 which was manured I sowed in wheat. Thus I have tanned for five years, with much better success than I ever did in the same length of. time previously. Remark. — It is highly necessary to all ag-' riculturists to plan and try for themselves, and i if their plans should fail, then resort to the “Cabinet,” for therein you can find various modes of treating your land and probably ofa decided interest to you. I have tried many of my own plans; I get along much better; raise more of the same quantity ofground, ofa bet- . ter quality and more suitable for the market. We, as farmers, must expect to be industrious, and not let our gardens and cornfields be over- i run with noxious weeds to destroy and injure them, but keep them clean and neat, and we . will reap the reward of our labor. The time is fast approaching when Ameri- < can farmers shall surpass all others in the pur- | Suit of agriculture. Husbandmen arc looking i ahead for the time when they shall attain ai greater degree of science in their profession; so that they may cope with the Islands of Great Britain, and surpass the flourishing vine yards of France.

Rome, Jan. 13—1—ts. PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN REVIEW. TO be published at Washington, quarterly, in an> Bvo No. 0f275 to 300 pages, price $5 per an num, payable in advance. The place is chosen, not only for its facilities of information, literary and politi cal, but as that at which the Southern States can be united upon the undertaking, with the greatest ease, and with the completes! exemption from all State or Party jealousies. Ofthe matter, three.fourths (say 225’pp.) shall con" sist of regular Reviews, making about 9 of 25 pp. each. These must, ns literary works at least, return as age. neral rule, somewhat towards that older method, now almost forgotten, and give a regular analysis of tho book reviewed, if it be of any merit. In Politics and upon Occasional Topics, there maybe a greater liber, ty of deviating into mere disquisition. In this portion of the Review, there will be given, ineach No. a paper historical ofthe Politics and gen. oral events of the day; to serve as a Historical Regis ter. Its execution will always be committed to the strongest hands only; and its purpose, to give a unity and consistency to the Public Doctrines of the Review such as can scarcely be so well effected in any other matter. Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also be cm. bodied in this part of tho plan, with a view of frvoring in a certain degree, the more curious studies; or to re* vive the knowledge of important books, forgotten in the confusion of modern learning. Writers will be led, of regular purpose to give their papers, wherever the subject will permit, tho form of a service; in order not only that they may thus afford a completer body of information, serve, also, to reprint apart, for popular circulation; a method that will much augment both tho reputation and usefulness ofthe Re. view. A body of Miscellanies (say seme 50 pp.') will form the subordinate'and more amusing part of the Journal. Its contents will be somewhat various; but will, for the most part, consist of short Literarj' Notices; Biblio. . graphical Articles; a critical list of Now Publications, foreign and domestic, and general Literarj' Intelli gence. In Communications, the most compressed mode of writing will bo every where required. Papers in which the works do not bear a just proportion to tho information conveyed or the effect intended, will bo either rejected, without scruple, or abridged, without mercy- To warrant this exaction, the usual into of compen" sation to writers will be advanced to 2 1.2 dollars per printed page; a price that will offer fair remuneration to the talents and lubor which we wish to secure. Os this revival of a Review of the South, tho pur. pose is. to give once more to our region, (now emin ently needing it) an Interpreter and a defender ; tho common Representative of our Institutions, aud of the Mind itself among us. Such in that great Congress of Opinion, where the fates of civilized nations arc now so largely settled, we do not possess and wo have al. ready suffered much for it. It is time to make our. solves understood and respected there. Tho Journal which shall do this, must combine the general strengh of all who, throughout the South, love tho country, and are capable of doing it intellected service. It must then be, not the Champion or the propagandist of lo cal opinions, but tho friend of all that pursue the pub. lie good. Into the vulgar methods of Politics, debas ed by Partizan rancour, or corrupted by the interest, or overborno by the popular passion of the hour, it must not fall —From it, tho pride of the Nnllifier must re ceive no diminution, the fidelity of the Unionists no reproach : It must be no vantage ground to cither part, nor serve but as an equal field, where they will only contend which shall most advance the cause of the South, and of that older doctrine of Jeffersonian State Rights, avowed by both parties alike, and now the only hope of rallying and of rescuing the country. To vindicate, then, our peculiar Institutions; to rc ; bel with argument, lest presently wo be forced to re i bel with arms, all interference with ou. domestic con ; dition, against the wild rule of mere Chance nnd Cor. I ruption, to uphold a Republican and Federative, a sdis ■ tinguished from a Democratic and Consolidating ad. ministration of the National affairs, from the disor. I derc of the Central government. Where Reform is I hopeless, and even useless, till you have given your selves stronger aud wiser local systems—to driect the public view towards a home policy ofthe State, enpa j blc, through itself, to confer upon us the blessings of I well ordered Liberty, expected in vain from the Fe deral Power; from the delusion of Party Politics abroad to call home tho wise and bravo have often raised petty States into noble and prosperous Commonwealth ; to attach men, if possible, to their birth place, and convert them from wandering and selfish adventurers, ; into citizens, the lovers of civilization, to ro.animate public spirit, and give it purpose, as well as energy; I to hold, over parties nnd Politicians, tho tribunal of a Public opinion far different from that idle and corrupt one, of which tho newspaper Press is tho voice; for these purposes, to diffuse through the land, sound and well considered public doctrines, with knowledge and Taste, their natural allies, such will bo the general aim of that literary league, among the best talents of the country, which has been sot on foot in tho present undertaking. Os its critical purposes, it is not necessary to speak so minutely. In general, it will of course strive to guide the popular taste towards tho best sources in knowledge, and the truest models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments will however, found themselves upon the dent of his temporary renown, nor that ofhis birth on this or the other side of the Atlantic. Towards the few good writers, the want of cultivation has yet permitted us have in America, it will know how to be respectful. But in Literature, as lately in Trade, wa shall insist that no man’s bad commodity be forced up on us, under patriotic pretences. Upon all that school of writained. Upon the Literature of mere amusement, existence enjoyed by this literary grass, which flourishes green ly in the morning, and is cut down and flung away be. fore the night. Life is tco short, Art too long, and Learning grown too prolific, for people to occupy them, selves more than an instant with bad books, while sush great bodies of good ones arc at their command.
