X.. 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.— Southern Planter. 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. SHOE STORE.

March 25. mfim 30 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.
