In farming, as well as in every thing else, every thing is simple when it is well understood; aim the fault is, not that we know too little, but that we know too much. In a way, we have a little smat tering of every thing, from Liebig down; and are so exceedingly deficient in the simple elements and practical manipula tions, that we are incapable of practically and economically applying and using one useful idea. At the present prices of produce, I see no prospect of prices ever being very high again; the principal profits of a farm must be derived from its economy;—I mean in the application of labor, ns well os in the use of its product; and no man can justly be called an economist, who does not at tend to small acoitnts. I go farther, I in sist that no man can comprehend his busi ness well, nor construct those better rules for its management, who is not intimately acquainted with the details; who docs not understand well the elements ofi those ideas that he is attempting to systematize. Well, if this be true, what a deplorable condition of things we have around us! How many of our agricultural teachers know any thing of the first elements, or the manipulations of the business they are lecturing on ?— They can tell you all about ammonia, talk to you of oxygen, carbonic acid, sub-soil plows, hill-side ditches, how to make man ure in your stock lots, and spread it on your lands; and probably they may know some thing of diastate and its function in a ger- minAting seed. All these arc useful ideas. I like to sec them in their proper place, and introduced to the people in a practical way. Hut when they give us their modus operan ds, it is too expensive. We can’t dive loo deep into nature’s laws, provided we suc ceed in getting truth; but wo can very foolishly and ruinously misapply—niisccon- omise a good idea. One of the great secrets in the success of farming, is to be able to select and. use cheaply the peculiar resources that each man finds about bis particular location.— Here is cconomv again, and requires an in timate knowledge of facts ns well as dis crimination. In fact, wc may go through any farm that I know of, and I believe that 20 per cent, can be gained by a more judi cious or economical application of the re sources and efforts used, nnd pertaining to the farm. If this is true, would wc not do well to commence our agricultural studies in the alphabet; and not commence read ing until after wc have post cru-ci-fix. Man has been defined to be a tool-mak ing animal. 1 believe when he goes into the field to work, he always takes some tools with him. Well, would it not be bet ter for him to always select the most suita ble ones, and then learn how to use them to the best advantage ? How much of the success of a farm depends on the plows used, and how few persons have devoted attention to the structure and improvement of plows! On that subject lam sure great improvements can be made, and profitable economy used, both in the application of horse-power, and the outlay tor plows.— The same remark is applicable to many other tools, though I nave not spnee fa enumerate them. I n reclaiming and fertilising our exhaust ed lands, much more can lie effected by economy. Almost every farm and field has, contiguous to it, the elements of fer tility that can be more cheaply used than the tedious process of hauling, to and from your farm-yard, litter and manure. For this you must study in the field rather than the nooks. The practice of deep or sub soil plowing must be a powerful agent in fertilising, and improving the susceptibility of our.exhausted lands. We had better study to understand this thing before wc begin, else we will waste much labor as well as money, before we acquire the ne cessary tact: I see, on every farm, much labor cx- ended-in. hauling manure. Would wc Blakely, the following property Carry these home; modify and apply them to your peculiar wonts. Make yourself familiar with the use of these; and then, when you have leisure, and you can ap propiate two hours every day, sit down and hold a friendly confab, with those who do all their plowing in the shade. They will teach you how to spend money, ana how to do a great many foolish things on your farm. But if you will listen carefully, and select with caution, you may, onco in a while, get a good idea from them; and one good idea, properly used on a farm, will pay for any Jen agricultural papers in the United States. * But before you spend money on a new idea, study it well, if you want io profit by farming. I may, at some future time, if I have health and leisure, give you my ideas more in detail, on particular, practices and pro- a that I see proposed to farmers, if I d be vain enough to suppose I could be useful.

From the Southern Cultivator. Cotton Culture. Mr. Camak :—Having seen the report of Mr. R. P. Sasnett and others who have been experimenting upon Dr. Cloud’9 plan of planting cotton, and having, in ’44, made a small trial myself, and discovering that my result approached so near in quan tity that of Mr. R. P. Sasnett, I am en couraged to report through your very useful r riodical, the quantity of seed cotton which grew per acre. The land, in a natural state, is a sandy ridge, had been cultivated several years, and was, consequently, some what exhausted; perhaps six or eight hun dred pounds might have been grown upon it, unassisted by manure. In ’43 it was not cultivated, but was used as a pasture for cah’es. In February of last year, I had the land broken deep with a scooter plow, after which I hauled out my manure and laid it in piles at suitable distances.— On the 2d of April, I laid off the rows at the distance of 2} feet the narrow way.— This was performed with a very narrow plow. On the 3d of April, the rows were run off the wide way, 4 feet, with a shovel plow, and the manure deposited in the check, in such quantity as to nearly fill the shovel furrow at each hill; after which the bedding or ridging was performed the wide way with a very simple kind of turn plow, leaving enough of the middles un- plowcd to retain the small scooter marks as guides in planting. On the 4th of April the ridges were opened with a small scooter and light stock, tnc seed nibbed in lcachcd ashes, and a few dropped in each hill and covered with foot. The ground being dr’ at this period, the seed did not vegetate til. after the fall of a shower, which was 15th April.—After the rain the middles were turned out. As soon as the cotton was up it was hoed, leaving three or four stalks in a hill. The second working was perform- by running a small plow round the cotton, and leaving the middles unplowed, and hoeing out,leaving two stalks in each hill. In June the middles were plowed and the cotton hoed. At this period I discovered that the cotton was not inclined to branch properly, and consequently I thinned it down to one stalk in a hill. At this time the plants were blooming, and on many stalks several bolls were found. Early in July I plowed and hoed the ground very lightly, which finished the culture. On the 16tn July 1 topped the cotton plants ; it branched so as to fill up the rows the wide way, and produced two thousand and thirty-four pounds per acre. Had the thinning l»«» p.-(■<>......J in piupcr time, 1 doubt not but that the product would have been larger. This fact is de tailed as an error in the cultivation. One stalk in a bill is enough, and if thinned ns soon as possible everybody knows that fruit will be produced the sooner. The manure used was “ compost,” pre pared from stables. The kind of seed plan ted was Rio Janeiro. I shall say some thing of this cotton in my next. * Yours, Miles Scarborough. JUt. Pleasant, Meriwether co., April, 1845.

On the subject of draining thoroughly all wet land, and ditching the hill-sides, so os to prevent washing, I believe all arc now agreed; and I know, from experience, that much can be saved by understanding well the text, before you begin the com mentary. I could extend this paper, by giving more cases of bad economy in fanning, though this will suffice for an illustration. I am not opposed to cautious speculation m forming, but it should be used to illu- not to supersede, or sup- plant well-tnde practices. Fanning is, eg- sentially, a practical business; ana none but a practical, successful farmer should ever be high authority. Theory should be the hand-maid, not the head of farming in stitutions; and though we can, by careful incredulity, improve our practices, by lis tening to the teachings of theory, there are few nuisances that we should be more guarded against, if we aim to thrive by i return, and urge again on my as much as they well CRD, on those id cal) Early Sheriff Sales.

The originators of this work believe that tho field for literary exertion and influence, in our countiy, is every day growing wider and wider; and they are willing to occupy at least a portion of the ground, which seems to invite labourers. Tho chief object which they have in view, is to aid in vindicating for the Southern States that literary position which, it is believed they arc qualified to assume. They de sign also, through this channel, to point out thc re sources and defend thc interests of thc South, to re present with truth too character and condition of the people, and to furnish increased occasion for intellec tual effort. With these views, they have sought to enlist in tho undertaking the best talent of thc whole South; and they feel, that they can appeal with somo confidence to their fellow-citizens for support and co-operation. This work willbc Southern—it will he tho organ of a section: but In no narrow spirit of hostility to any portion of our country. Justice and candour towards all will govern its course; and it will stead ily^pursue the sacred-aims of Truth. There is need, especially in this day of cheap lit erature, for stern nnd discriminating criticism. Man liness and originality of thought—ns well as sound morals—are tn danger of being crushed under the mass of trashy or corrupt publications, both foreign and domenstic, with which thc press teems. They call loudly for some daring and independent censor, who will lay on the lash of severe but just criticism, “ without fear or favor,” and who will guard the in terests oflitcrature against those influences of toe publishing houses of tlie conntry which, through magazine and newspaper puffing, confer so many false reputations on worthless volumes, and corrupt the very sources of a well regulated and wholesome public opinion. We therefore avow at thc outset, that we intend to deal with these authors. puMi.h.nr mm books, wren a severity only limited by our abili- ■ ' the courtesies due to an GEORGIA, Baker County.

Houghton, and 'published weekly in the City of Albany, i.nkcr County Georgia, commencing on VVedncs- day thc 16th day of April, 1845. Our Political Principles are Democratic: and we shall advocate and defend them in thc spirit of the motto which wc have n- dopted, bciievingthal we shall thereby best secure the purity and permanauty of our Government, and the liberty, happiness and prosperity of our fellow-citizen*. Agriculture:—That great source of our National wealth and independence, slinli have that space in our columns, which its importance demands. It will be one of our first objects to dcvclope the resources and advantages of the fertile country by which we arc surrounded, the soil ana climate of which will bear a favorable comparison with that of any section of the Union. To Commerce, Manujaclurcs, the Arts, Sciences and all those industrial pursuit* which are in some sense flic cause nnd oii- jecl of civilized society, wc shall give a warm support, whilst we shall not neglect lonromole by proper means, the cause of Education, Morals and Religion. Wc shall endeavour to give to our rea ders the earliest information of interesting domestic and foreign news, and weekly cor rected intelligence of our own and other markets. We shall also, publish a synop sis of the Slierifls sales, for all thc counties in our vicinity. Asa Family paper, the Patriot will be rendered interesting and instructive. It will be our object to convey valuable infor mation—to fosterandencourage thc virtues, and correct the vices of society. No per sonal animosities or party rancour, will find vent in our columns—but we shall promul gate and defend Truth, for the sake of Truth, with that independence of spirit which fears no consequences. Terms. ties, and a cnlightei tr regard lor i community uuty. We know and feel that our literature is yonng, and hitherto but too imitative. Nevertheless tliat very youth has its advantages, and we shall endeavor to giro them full play, by encouraging fresh and vig orous exhibitions of the mind of our own country. That this is pre-eminently the land of orqrinal thought, our Patent Office, our workshops, our fields and our riven abundantly illustrate. In the Fino Arts, American genius has produced works of which which any nation might he proud. We arc already rivaling (rid Europe in every department of inven tion, save only in that of literature. Even in this, an independent assertion of thought and feeling has commenced, which the American position and char acter demand, and are calculated to develope. Men here stand to each other in new and advanced rela tion*. An expression that sliall be true to these con ditions, must give to our literature new and original forms. It will accordingly be one of the cherished objects of our Magazine, to foster by all the means in jlIIP|10B’<», 4»V<tey aaaayaslaa W mm»mI origiutl gt*lf While nothing of a sectarian or partisan character will be admitted intoonr pages, we shall by no means shrink from discussing religious and political topics. They involve the highest interests of man, and at the. present, “W than at any past period, attract thc senoos attention of ail reflecting minds. The interest which the south has in the efficiency and character of the Army and Navy, will claim for both services a prominent place in our culmns. Our Naval and Military Officers have often shown il»i they ore as competent to adorn the literature, as to defend the honor of their countiy; and a number ol able contributors will be secured from their ranks. This Magazine will also be the medium through which the Gioboia Aistorical Kociett will — forty publish much of it* most interesting mete. portions of its domestic and foreign correspondence, communications, lectures, And other; papers which may possess a general value. We believe too that our position has peculiar ad vantages. Georgia lies nearest the centre of the Southern States; and thus possesses superior oppor tunities for estimating Southern opinion, and giving a true expression to southern interests. The work will be published by W. Thobxe Will iams on the fiat day of every month, beginning in October next in advance.
