from the Southern Cultivator.
in Joff>rson, &c.
Editors SotmreitN Cultivator —ln
renewing my subscription for the next
volume, (which is herewith sent, you.) I
t»eg leave to offer a few suggestions to
the bro.iierhood of Planters. In your
notice of the visit to Col. Wahken’s
place, an 1 Major Douglas’ management,
there was much to admire. That the
Major is a prince in hisline, is certainly
true; else he never could work the
crops lie doe*, and keep his hands and
teams in order ; hut I felt a regret to see
so much labor lost —so much land injured
—when the same labor, directed pro
perly, would have given as largo returns
of crops and greatly increased value in
land. When will the South learn that
it is bail policy to exhaust a valuable
estate in land; to brag of large crops
cultivated aud so many cotton bags
male!
I am just home from a short trip to
Southwestern Georgia, and find the same
ruinous course in full blast, in that sec
tion. Will men never reflect that no
land will produce, year after year, with
half cultivation, a crop of corn and a
crop of grass or cotton and grass, and
not exhaust rapidly? Two crops in the
year and no return, is too much ; and
yet we go on increasing in the art of
wearing out our land with grass. All
true farmers think it necessary to help
their land to make grass; but wo think
differently and act accordingly.
1 have concluded to adopt, a different
course, and repudiate this “American
notion," South, and at the risk of being
called an “old fogy,” progress back
wards and aim to produce increased crops
from fewer acres and improve all my
estate together. I regard it better policy
and more patriotic and religious. What
right have I to wear out or injure one
acre of old earth—the gift of God to
man—tho feeding mother and common
hvrilance of all the race? Surely none.*
I have planted as much as twenty
acres to the hand; this year have fallen to
fifteen acres and cannot house my crop,
and have plenty of pork and corn to soil,
and next year propose to drop to about
thirteen acre*, aud make no less.
Perhaps at some leisure timo I may
say more on this subject.
“ Clifton.”
Clifton , Fla , 1855.
*Our friend is correct. No man has
a moral right to leave land any poorer
than God made it, and thus inflict un
told evils on posterity.— Eds.
Facts about Milk.
Cream cannot mo through a great
rh'pth of milk. If, therefore, milk is
desired to retain its cream for a time, it
should be put into a deep, narrow dish ;
and if it be desired to free it most com
pletely of cream, it should be poured
into a broad, flat dish, not much exceed
ing one inch in depth. The evolution
of cream is facilitated by a raise, and
retarded by a depression of temperature.
At the usual temperature of the dairy
—SO degrees of Fahrcnreit—all the
cream will probably rise in thirty-six
hours; but at 70 degrees it will perhaps
rise in half that time, and when the
milk is kept near the freezing point, the
cream will rise very slowly, because it
becomes solidified.
In wet and cold weather tho milk is
less rich than in dry and warm, and on
this account more cheese is obtained in
cold than warm, though not in thundery
weather. The season has its effects.
The milk, in spring, is supposed to be
the best for drinking; hence it would be
the best for calves ; in summer it is best
suited for cheese and in autumn the but
ter keeping is better than that of sum
mer—the cows less frequently milked,
give richer milk and, consequently more
butter. One morning’s milk is richer
than the evening’s. The last drawn
milk of each milking, at all time* and
seasons, is richer than the first drawn
which is the poorest. — IFesfcrn Agri
culturist.
A Farming Item.— A Profitable
Crop. —Mr. Sidney 11. Owens, who pur
chased Winchester’s Island, containing
80 acres, for $6,000, a few months ago,
has realized half that sum from his crop
of broom corn this season. Mr. O. had
sixty acres under cultivation, from which
be realized 40,000 lbs. of broom straw,
and sold it at prices varying from $7 50
*o $lO per hundred—averaging full $8
—which makes the gross sum of $3,
200. In addition to this he has gather
ed about three thousand bushels of seed,
worth 25 cents per bushel, or $7 50 for
tlw lot, which makes almost $4,000 for
the produce of only sixty acres, and
expense of cultivation was about SI,OOO,
which leaves $3,000 not. — Fredericks

HOLLOWAY’S PILLS.
WIIY ARE WE SICK?
IT has been the lot of the human race to bo
weighed down bv disease ami suffering.—
HOLLOWAY’S PILLS are specially adapted to
the relief of the weak, the nkkvoi’s, the delicate,
and the infirm, of all climes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Holloway personally
superintends the manufacture of his medicines
in the United States, and offers them to a fit o
and enlightened people, as the best remedy the
world ever saw for the removal of disease.
Tlicsc Tills Purify Iho lllooil.
These famous Pills are expressly combined to
operate on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys,
the lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting
any derangement in their functions, purifying
the blood, the very fountain of life, and thus
curing disease in in all its forms.
Dyspepsia ami Liver Complaints,
Nearly half the human race have taken these
Pills. It has been proved in nil parts of Jhe
world, that nothing has been found equal to the.n
in cases of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and
stomach complaints generally. They soon give
a healthy tone to these organs, however much
deranged, and when all other means have failed.
General Drbilily. II! Ilralth.
Many of the most despotic governments have
opened their custom houses to the introduction
or these Pills, that they may become the medi
cine of the masses. Learned colleges admit that
this medicine is the best remedy ever known for
persons of delicate health, or where the system
lias been impaired, as its invigorating properties
never failed to afford relief.
Female Complaints.
No female, young or old, should be without
this celebrated medicine. It corrects and regu
lates the monthly courses at all periods, acting
in many cases like a charm. It is also the best
and safest medicine that can bo given to children
of all ages, and for any complaint; consequently,
no family should be without it.
Holloway's Pills arc the host remedy
known in the world for the following
Diseases :—
Asthma, Bowel Complaints, Coughs, Colds,
Chest Diseases, Costiveness, Dyspepsia, Diarr
hoea, Dropsy, Debility, Fever and Ague, Female*
Complaints, Headaches, Indigestion, Influenza,
Inflammation, Inward Weakness, Liver Com
plaints, Lowness of Spirits, Piles, Stone and
Gravel, Secondary Symptoms, Venereal Affec
tions, Worms of all kinds.
Both the Ointment and Pills should he used
in the following Cases:
Bunions, Burns, Chapped Hands, Chilblains,
Fistulas, Gout, Lumbago, Mercurial Eruptions,
Piles, Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, Skin I).souses.
Sore Legs, Sore Breasts, Sore Heads, Sore
Throats, Sores of all kinds, Sprains, Scalds,
Swelled Glands, Stitt Joints, Ulcers, Venereal
Sores, Wounds of all kinds.

JAMES C. BOOMER,

This may certify that I have used Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer in numerous cases,’and be
lieve it to be a very valuable medicine. I have
prescribed it extensively in bowel complaint,
particularly for children,) and it is in my opin
ion, superior to any preparation 1 have ever used
for the relief of those diseases.
P. S. When given to children, I have always
combined it with the syrup of gum arabic, say
ten drops to a tea-spoonful of the syrup, well
mixed.
Others have mixed it with milk and molasses,
equal parts. A. HUNTING, M. I).
This certifies that I have for several years used
Mr. Da via* Vegetable Pain Killer in several ot
those cases for which it is recommended, and find
u a very useful family medicine.

Mr. Perry Davis,— Sir: I have used in my

IF YOU have contracted the terrible disease
which, when once seated in the system, will
surely go down from one generation to another,
undermining the constitution, and supping the
very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself in
the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a
city like this, and till the papers with glaring
falsehoods, too well calculated to deceive the
young, and those not acquainted with their tricks.
You cannot be too careful in the selection of a
remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Ruchu has been pronounced
by eminent physicians the greatest, remedy ever
known. It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its
taste, and very innocent in its action, and yet so
thorough that it annihilates every particle of the
rank and poisonous virus of this dreadful disease;
and, unlike other remedies, does not dry up the
disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought, on by self
abuse, a most terrible disease, which has brought
thousands of the hum in race to untimely graves,
thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents, and
blighting in the bud the glorious ambition of
many a noble youth, can be cured by this infalli

by the best artists ot this country and Europe,

richness and elegance, takes rank at the head of

people of the United States. The design of
“THE REPUBLICAN COURT” is, to give an
interesting and faithful view of the private and
social life of this country in the days ot Washing
ton. Referring as briefly as possible to political
affairs, it introduces the great characters of that

rience. I t embraces part icular narratives of Pre
sident Washington’s celebrated tour through the
Eastern States, with all its festivities, parades,
Ac., and of the subsequent tour through the
Southern States, with the imposing and euthusi
a tic receptions m Charleston, Augt.sta, Ac. The
author says, “It seemed to me tmu tlie volume
would be, upon the whole, far more acceptable
if, in its preparation, I confined myself, m even
the most trivial tales of narrative, delineation,
and suggestion, to what was clearly warranted
by unquestionable authorities. And of such au
thorities, fortunately,! have had an ample collec
tion. Besides those which ;.re printed and acces
sible to every student ot American history, 1 have
had in my posse-si >n more than tw<» thousand
unpuhlishea private letters, of which some three
hundred were by Wash- gun , and great numbers
by Mrs. Ada .'is, Mrs. Jay. Mrs. Cushing, Mrs.
Pinckney, the families iff Wolcott, McKean, Liv
ingston, Boudinot, Willing, and others who par
ticipated in the life I have attempted to describe.”

by stimulating the skin of the head, or the
roots of the hair to a natural or healthy action,
and by imparting to the hair an Oil essential to
its growth and beauty. By frequently rubbing it
thoroughly upon the roots of the hair, then brush
ing it with a good brush, it will keep the hair in
its natural healthy state, and prevent the accu
mulation of Dandruff. Its rich perfume makes it
a delightful article for the Lady s Toilet.
The ingredients are of the best quality, and the
most efficient to cause a healthy condition of the

Certificate of Cure.
Dr. J. G. Gibson;—Sir: I have a negro bov
who was violently attacked, over a year ago, w itlr*
acute Rheumatism. Having tried every nnudy
that was reputed to he valuable, but all to no good
effect, save a mere temporary relief from fain, I
was at last induced, at ihe suggestion of .« friend,,
to trv the virtue ot vour LINUii’S ANTI-RDLU
MAfIC POWDERS.
I procured a Box of you—administered the
Powders according t»» directions, and though my
hoy was so badly lamed, in his feet aid ancles,
that he could scarcely walk, and his aims aid
wrists so inflan ed and swolen that be could with
the greatest difficulty use them, yet about the fifth
day after beginning the.r use he commenced to
improve and cont.i.utd to improve rapidly —to
that, in a short time, he was relieved ot all pain,
went to work, and has continued well up to the
present. In short, whereas my boy for twelve
months, was almost valueless to n.e, in conse
quence ot Rheumatism, for the last two months
he has resumed his accustomed place in the faim r
and is now, ns he was before his affliction, the most
valuable servant l have.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
TEMPERANCE CRUSADER.
[QUONDAM.]
TEMPERANCE BANNER.
ACTUATED by a conscientious desire to fur
. ther the cause of Temperance, and experi
encing great disadvantage in being too narrowly
limited in space, by the smallness of our paper,
for the publication of Reform Arguments ana
Passionate Appeals, w*e have determined to en
large it to a more convenient and acceptable size*
And being conscious of the fact that there are
existing in the minds of a large portion of the
present readers of the Banner and its former pa
trons, prejudices and difficulties which can never
be removed so long as it retains the name, we
venture also to make a change in that particular*
It will henceforth be called “THE TEMPER*.
A NCE CRUSADER.”
This old pioneer of the Temperance cause is
destined vet to chronicle the triumph of its prin
ciples. It has stood the test—passed through
the “ fiery furnace,” and, like the “ Hebrew child
ren,” re-appeared ur scorched. It has survived
the newspaper famine which has caused, and is
still causing many excellent journals and periodi
cals to sink, like “bright exhalations in tne eve
ning,” to rise no more, and it has even heralded
the “ death struggles' of many contemporaries,
laboring for the same great end with itself. It
“ still lives,” and “ waxing bolder as it grows
older,” is now* waging an eternal “Crusade”
against the “ Infernal Liquor Traffic,” standing
like the “High Priest” of the Israelites, who
stood between the people and the plague that
threatened destruction.
We entreat the friends of the Temperance
Cause to give us their influence in extending the
usefulness of the paper. We intend presenting
to the public a sheet worthy of all attention ana
a liberal patronage; for while it is strictly a Tem
perance Journal , we shall endeavor to keep its
readers posted on all the current events through*
out the country.
