bombast (mis-named scientific Agriculture)
afloat^ and the public taste appearing to
receive that kind of thing so freely, that I
fear any effort of mine to stop that conduct,
and gel fanners to try my mode of think
ing and acting, would be, not only unsuc
cessful, but probably unpleasant; still, it
would please me to be useful to the cause
of agriculture, as 1 expect to devote the
remainder of my life to that vocation; and
it is with me a business of love as well as
profit.
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

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

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.

PROSPECTUS.
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

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

and correct the vices of society. No per

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

this (first) day of May, with an entire new dre**—
new type, fine paper, with other important aiteraticiK
nnd improvements. . Thc paper will be devoted to a
fearless exposition of Democraic principles; it
Bcttt.»ioly and unremittingly oppose eacn and e.
eflort to establish a mammoth monarchy lank and
other mischievous corporations and consolidations of
wealth, which subvert the rights of thc people ml
undermine the pillars of the Republic ; it will opporc
an oppressive and anti-republican tariff system, tbe
assumption of thc State debts by the General Gov
ernment, nnd ail other Federal princip’es which hv c
an inevitairie tendency to destroy public prosperity
as well as individual happiness. Against all such
political delusion wc shall wage unchanging, uocsi'
promising war.
Tlie Fakhek and the MEciLxmc who produce all
tho real capital of the nation, will find in our paper au
unwavering champion of their inalienable rights; the
long cherished principles of the editors are too well
known to tho public to require any pledge upon thU
point. To tbe Miscellaneous Department particular
attention will be devoted; the ladies will always Usd
in our columns a choice selection from tbe current
literature of the day, as well as original contribution
from tbe most talented writers of which our country
can boast. A general summary of Foreign and Do
mestic news will bo furnished; a regular price cur
rent and a correct list of the prices or stocks will also
be given.
Tlie conductors have already secured the aid and
cooperation of a largo number of the most distinguish
ed literary nnd poetical writers of tho day; arrange
ments will also be made, at the earliest period possi
ble, to embellish our column* bv the contribution* of
correspondents from abroad. ‘With this brief am!
imperfect outline of our plan, wc very respectfully
submit oar chime to on extensive patronage the con
sideration of a generous public.
