Mongol Wurlzel and Sugar lieels.—Ma
nv of our farmers in the past season made
experiments in raising beets for their stock,
and all, so far as w'e have heard, speak of
good success ; but Mr. Benjamin Litton is
the only individual who has furnished the
facts of his adventure. From two and a
half acres, took 1200 bushels of fine
roots—this is near five hundred bushels to
the acre, and estimating that three bushels
of beets be worth only one of corn, the crop
would be worth as much as one hundred
and fifty bushels of corn to the acre. But
to feed beets to milk cows with meal or
bran, and hay, we believe from our experi
ence that two bushels of Jjpets are worth as
much as one of corn. Cattle will not do
well on corn or beets alone, or any thing
else alone, except rich grass ; but beets
particularly require to be cooked, and a
little salt and meal put with them, and dry
food, such as hay and fodder, fed at the
same time, will be found to be very profita
ble. Those who desire large quantities of
rich milk in winter, should be certain to
raise beets, turnips, and all roots that can
lie profitably produced in the country. —
Cultivator.
SWEET POTATOES.
We were applied to a short time since,
tor some instruction as to the best mode of
cultivating sweet potatoes. When we in
quired of our friends where we could get
the desired information, we were recom
mended to a Mr. Joseph Bernard in this vi
cinity, who has, it seems, obtained an unri
valled reputation for the cultivation and
keeping of this valuable root. According
ly, we made the application, and Mr. Ber
nard very kindly furnished us the following
detailed particulars of his mode of cultiva
tion.
He lays oil’ a bed of any required size,
say twenty feet in length by ten in width,
from which he removes six inches of the
surface earth ; this, according to the usual
method of making a hot-bed, he boards up
all round, sloping to the front; the boards at
the back, or north side ; being two feet high,
whilst the front or south side is only one
foot in height. He then banks up the earth
removed against the outside of the board,
all round. In the bed so prepared he puts
fresh stable manures to the depth of 15 in,
after it is well pressed, keeping the surface
flat and level. On this he lays fine rich
mould, free from seed of any kind, 21-2 in
ches deep, and upon that he places his plant
ings, one inch apart, and covers them with
two and a half inches more of the same
mould thrown over lightly, and not pressed
down. This is done as near as possible to
the 10th of April, and the time he consid
ers important. His bed he covers with a
sloping shelter to turn off the rains, but
raised a few inches in front to admit the
light and air, which is removed, however,
as soon as the plants come up.
While the plants are sprouting, he takes
a piece of light, poor, sandy soil, which
ought to have been followed the preceding
fall. This he again ploughs and rakes
down fine and level, about the last of April.
He lays offhis rows with a single plough
not more than two inches deep, four feet
apart, running from north to south, these
trenches he fills tccll with any kind of old
well-rotted manure ; then with a single
plough he turns a furrow on each side of
the row, so as to put a cover over the ms I
nure about3 inches deep. This depth may
be attained, with care, by the use of the
plough alone, without an after resort to the
hoe.
Upon these ridges, levelled down smooth
and even, the plants are set.
In three or four weeks from the time of
planting, if the bed has been properly at
tended to, the plants will have attained the
height of some 3or 4 inches. When this
is the case, he avails himself of such a
season as is generally used for setting out
cabbage plants, taking especial care that
the ground is not too wet, which is even
worse than being too dry. Indrawingthem,
he places one hand on the bed, over the
root, and with the other gently disengages
the plant from the mother root, taking care
not to injure the fibres of the root, which
he wants to afford a succession of plants.
To set them out he makes a dibble of a
piece of wood, about two inches in diame
ter, and about 2 1-2 feet long ; four inches
from the bottom he inserts another piece,
at a right angle, 16 inches long, which be
ing the distance between the plants, the in
struments tapered and sharpened at the
point serves to lay off the distance, and
make the hole for the plant at the same
time.
The plants must be set as deep as the
first leaf, and the holes must be lightly
tilled with fine earth, taken between the
fingers, and gently pressed against the
plant.
When the plants have fairly begun to
grow, he throws a furrow to them on each
side, with a single plough, taking care not
to cover the plant. Attention must be paid
to keep grass from about the vines, until
they begin to run freely, after which they
should not be disturbed. Hence the neces
sity of poor, clean ground, that troubles
you less with grass, which you cannot dis
turb the vines to eradicate.
Mr. Bernard is very careful never to co
ver too much vine—he assumes that every
point of the vine that is covered sends forth
fibres, and produces tubercles ; hence, if
too many joints are covered, he would have
a great quantity of small potatoes, instead
of a lesser number of fine ones His plant
ings, on the contrary, he obtains by pursu
ing this course of frequent covering.
This is Mr. Bernard’s mode of cultiva
tion : his method of keeping, which is pe
culiar, and which has been very successful,
shall be given in a subsequent number, be
fore the period when it will be required.—
This though we will suggest at present,
that Mr. Bernand is fully satisfied that po
tatoes raised in a limed or calcareous soil
arc much easier kept than when they
are raised upon land wanting that pro
perty.
Mr. Bernard is a plain, sensible, practi
cal man, who was raised at the. north to flu |
business of farming. He began here wit!:
dO acres of poor land, which he has in
creased in value from ten to forty dollars
per acre, and in four years, he has cleared
two thousand dollars, besides supporting
his family, from the sixty acres.
lie considers the sweet potato by far the
most valuable root crop he has ever seen,
and declares that if the northern climate
permitted its cultivation, it would supersede
all other root crops in that section. He
says that he has found it fully equal to In
dian corn for fattening beeves, and much
superior for his hogs. He has killed hogs
fattened on potatoes alone, and found the
fat as firm and fine as that made by the
corn itself. Asa food for stock he thinks
I 'nothing can be superior to it.
The sweet potato vine he thinks an ex
traordinary fertilizer, and is very sure, that
when turned in it affords a great deal more
to the land than the root takes from it.—

Seeds. —The certainty and continuance
of the vegetative power of seeds depend
greatly on being fully ripe, well secured,
and preserved from too much confinement,
heat and dampness. Some, however, lose,
their vegetative properties much sooner
than others.
Parsnep, rhubarb, and other very thin
and scaly seeds are not to be depended on
the second year.
Beans, capsicum, carrot, cress, leek, nas
tratium, okra, onion, salsify, scorzonera
and small herb seeds, should not generally
be trusted the third year.
Artichoke, asparagus, corn, egg-plant,
endive, fetticus, lettuce, mustard, parsley,
peas, skirret and spinage, often fail after
the third year.
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, celery,
kale, radish and turnip, will vegetate well
four or five years.
Beet, cucumber, gourd, melon, pumpkin,
and squash—also burnet, chervil and sor
rel, have been known to vegetate freely five
to ten and more years.
Wheat Crop of Ohio. —By an article in
a late Cincinnati Chronicle, as made up
from returns from the port of Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Portsmouth and Huron, it ap
pears that the wheat and flour exported from
Ohio, during the past year has been equal
■to eight millions of bushels. This is of
course exclusive of the vast amount of home
consumption. The same article estimates
the last year’s product of Indian corn in
Ohio at thirty millions of bushels. What
a State is Ohio as shown from these items
alone, when we reflect that fifty years
ago her territory was one vast wilderness !
Loss by Abrasion of the Precious Metals.
—Experiments have been made at differ
ent periods for the purpose of ascertaining
the exact loss of coin from wear in circula
tion. In a work published by M. Mongez,
one of the directors of the French Mint,
it is stated that in 1802, the officers of the
French Mint made various experiments,
the result of which was that the loss by
wear of gold coin is 6,22 per cent, in a
century. From experiments made by the
English Mint in 1807, it appears that the
loss on guineas is 4,72 percent, in a centu
ry. In 1833, a second set of experiments
were made in the English Mints, from
which results were obtained showing a loss
of3£ percent, on guineas in a century. —
In this country similar experiments have
been made. A report from the directors of
the Philadelphia Mint to the President of
the United States, in 1827, exhibits a loss
on gold by wear, of 2 per cent, in a century.
The mean of these different results is a
loss on gold coin by wear, of 4,71 per cent,
in a century, which is less than one twen
tieth per cent, per annum.

PROPOSALS
IOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SUF.VEY OF THF
§YAIfiE ©IF OIEMGOA.
kg HIE Legislature, attheir last session, deein-
JL ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
the State Geologist, in consequence of the em
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived ot
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original plan: if done at all, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the on
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following
out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
the State has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on the part of her agent, to the
cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
tier citizens, in accordance with other States ot
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation of the survey, the work must
either be abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by four years investigation of the
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef
fort for the benefit and honor of his adopted State,
to proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
tons hospitality of his fellow citizens, in ditfer
eut parts of the Slate, lie is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work ofthiskind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand sqxutrc miles, being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation of hie follow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription for the work
shall be appropriated to the completion of the
survey of the remaining counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.
