THU LONG CONTINUED ACTION
OF CALCAREOUS MANURES,
AND PARTICULARLY IN
PREVENTING RUST
IN WHEAT.
To the Editor of the Fanner's Register.
The following facts communicated to me
a short time since by a farmer of Augusta
county, may prove interesting to the read
ers of the Register, especially those of the
marl and lime-stone regions of the state.—
The facts are these, that in a field of wheat
(the last harvest) which were very much
injured by the rust, two small spaces esca
ped entirely, the straw being bright and
clean and the grain plump. One of these
spaces a lime kiln was burned in the year
1810 ; since which time the field had been
frequently cropped. On the other, the ash
es from a distillery, had been deposited for
several years ; the distillery however had
not been in operation for 7 or 8 years.—
These spaces were, in all respects, treated
as the other part of the field, and their be
ing surrounded on all sides by wheat very
badly rusted, shows conclusively that the
lime and ashes were the sole causes of the
difference.
I hope the foregoing facts will be suffi
cient to induce some trials of the efficacy of
lime and ashes in preventing rust, by those
who have the means of doing so ; the end
in view is of sufficient importance to justi
fy the labor and expense of many experi
ments. The quantity of lime and ashes,
in theexample related above, is much great
er than can, or perhaps ought to be appli
ed in ordinary cases, but the lime operated
effectively after 30 years, and the ashes
after 7or 8. A much smaller quantity ap
plied annually might produce the same ef
fect.
As lime is an essential ingredient of good
wheat soils, may not the many failures of
the wheat crop be owing, in some degree,
to the absence of lime from most of the land
cultivated in that crop ?
The efficacy of lime, on What is called
lime-stone land, is strikingly illustrated by
the accidental experiment I have detailed
above. VVM. TATE.

P. S. In one of the volumes of the Trans
actions of the Philadelphia Agricultural
Society, (I have not the work by me, and do
not recollect the volume,) there is an in
teresting article on the causes of rust,
which, if it has not already been published
in the Register, I have no doubt many of
your readers would be obliged to you for
publishing.
From the Southern Agriculturist.
ON THE CULTURE OF RICE-GRASS.
—LEERSIA ORIZOIDES.
Pendleton, October 21, 1840.
Mr. Editor :—ln the hope of inducing
some of our farmers to turn their attention
from the exclusive cultivation of cotton, to
the improvement of stock, I send you the
result ofeight years’ experience in the cul
ture of hay, on a piece of meadow land,
one mile distant from the village of Pen
dleton. Two branches, whose united
streams are sufficient to turn a small grist
mill are kept cotinually running over the
meadow, except during harvest. A day be
fore cutting we remove a small obstruction
placed in the natural channel of the branch
when the water leaves the land sufficiently
dry for the mowers to work, and a narrow
wheeled two horse wagon to take off about
800 lbs. at a load. Immediately after har
vest, the baris replaced across the channel
in a few minutes, by drawing mud against
a rail laid over it and the land again put
under water. Having made abundant
crops of hay several years, at so little ex
pense, I last year laid off one acre, had the
wagon carefully loaded by a white man,
directing him to make every load as near
as possible of the same size, and on weigh
ing one load, found the average product of
the acre to be more than three tons, of two
thousand pounds each, at the first cutting.
The same directions were followed this
year and the product was more than four
tons at the first cutting. This great pro
duct may be attributed to a late harvest,
and a summer of more rain.
Thesoil on which these crops were made
is the ordinary quality of low land, near the
creeks overflowed only by high freshes.—
It had been cleared and cultivated several
years, producing good crops in dry seasons.
I first saw it in 1831, when the corn on it
was nearly destroyed by a wet season ; in
’32 it produced more weeds than grass,
they were all moved—in ’33 I was aston
ished by the product of hay, which has
been good ever since. This hay is made
from the riee-grass, the “Leersia Orizoides”
of the botanist, called Nimble Will, in the
upper country; it has a fine thin stalk,
covering from four to five feet in length,
but not being erect, it does not stand more
than three to four feet on the ground; no
part of the stalk is one-eighth of an inch in
diameter, they have been measured more
than six feet long. It grows well on the
low grounds of branches, and may be found
in every part of the state : it is killed by
frost, and does not grow in the interior, be
fore May.
I have made various experiments with
red clover, herd’s grass, orchard grass, and
timothy, the two former on wet and dry
soils ; after two or three years they have
been overpowered by the native weeds,
grasses, briers and shrubs, which spring up
spontaneously when the soil is unbroken.
The single enemy of the rice grass is the
rush, large and small, which appears to be
the only noxious growth of land covered
by running water, and this is so entirely
outgrown by the rice-grass, that flstwith.
standing its formidable appearance in the
spring, I have taken no measures to eradi
cate it. By the end of June the rush is so
completely covered by the grass, that it is
scarcely thought ol until the ensuing
spring, fine great advantage of this grass
is, that you can choose the time for cutting,
as it does not blossom early. Towardsthe
end of July it seems to settle or lodge in
spots, but I am not aware of any injury
that results. VVe commence mowing with
a brier scythe the first fair weather after
oat harvest—the task is a quarter of an acre
for the mower ; one woman can toss and
turn half an acre, which should be done as
soon as it is cut and put up into cocks by
evening. When the dew leaves them next
morning they are opened at the top, and af
ter an hour’s sun on them, all the hay cut
before twelve o’clock of the preceding day,
may be carted home and put away.—
Eight or twelve hours’ sun is sufficient to
cure the hay if properly tossed and turned
immediately after cutting, which is easily
done with a wooden hay fork. An iron
fork is used for loading and unloading the
wagon.
The bloom and seed appear late in Sep
tember. A few days belore we expect frost
a second crop is cut and harvested. As
this occurs at busy period of October, we
have never measured or weighed the pro
duct of an acre ; it has been variously esti
mated at a third or half of the first cut
ting.
I have never made any comparative ex
periments of the nutritious qualities of this
hay, but have been informed that it sells in
the Columbia market as readily as nothern
hay. One of our most experienced farm
ers told me that he preferred it to corn
blades when wagoning to Hamburg.
Yours, respectfully, C. C. Pinckney.
Advantage of Planting Fruit Trees on
Declivities. —Dodart first observed that
trees pushed their branches in a direction
parellel to the surface of the earth. If a
tree stands on a steep it pushed both to
wards the hill and towards the declivi
ty ; but on both sides it still preserves
its branches parallel to the surface.—
As there is an attraction between the up
per surface of leaves and light, I am
also persuaded, though not equally certain
of it from experiment, that there is an at
traction of the same nature between the un
der surface of leaves and the surface of the
earth. This I consider the true cause of
the phenomenon : —I had long observed
that the most fruitful orchards and most
fertile trees are those planted on a decliv
ity, and the steeper it is, though not quite a
precipice, the more fertile they prove. It
is well known that the spreading of trees
always renders them fruitful. On a plain,
they incline to shoot upwards ; and there
fore art is employed by skilful gardeners,
and applied in various ways, to check their
perpendicular, and to promote their lateral
growth. But this point is obtained on a
declivity by nature. There a tree loses
its tendency to shoot upwards, and in order
to preserve its branches parallel with the
surface, is constrained to put them in a lat
eral direction. Hence an important rule
in the choice of orchards and fruit gardens.
Rev. D.J. Walker.
Real men and women never sneer at
mechanics and operatives. But self-styled
gentlemen and ladies not unfrequently do.
We have heard of a lady who once left a
ball-room because a mechanic entered.—
She married a basket-maker, and died a
wash-woman. And of a gentleman who
did the same thing, and not long afterwards
was compelled to go to a mechanic to be
saved from jail. Labor not only redounds
to wealth, but merit. “ Six days shalt thou
labor,” saith the Scripture.

MINERAL SPRINGS.
H H THIS ESTABLISHMENT is
■P* now in complete order for the recep
tion visitors, and is extensively
provided with every accommodation
and comfort which persons in ?earch ol health or
recreation, can desire. Mr. and Mrs. Lawhow,
who are charged with its superintendence, are
eminently qualified to give satisfaction, .and the
Directors cun promise that as good a Table and
as clean ami commodious Rooms will be furnish
ed, as are tube had at any watering place in the
United States. These SPRINGS are situated
in a healthy and romantic region in the North-
Western corner of Abbeville District, near the
Anderson line, and the place is as perfectly ex
empted from autumnal levers as any place In our
Mountains. The waters are confidently believ
ed to be equal to any in the United States, in all
cases of chronic disease of the liver and other
glands, and of chronic inflammation in any part
of the system ; in cases of dyspepsia and sick
head-ache they have been singularly efficacious,
having invariably given relief whenever ade
quately tried. In these cases they may be al
most considered a specific, as well as in diseases
of the skin and urinary organs. A HACK will
be regularly run during the Season from Abbe
ville C. 11., which is 24 miles distant, to carry
passengers coming to that place in the Stage.
BY THE DIRECTORS.
I hereby certify from personal observation,
that the water of the Abbeville Mineral Springs
is singularly serviceable in all cases of chronic
inflammation and glandular obstructions. It
does not appear to possess any highly stimulating
or direct tonic properties, but imparts tone to the
whole system indirectly by its wonderful effect
in wearing out inflammation, and in correcting
the secretions of all the glands of the body. A
few Summers ago, I sent a patient to the Springs
laboring under chronic gastretis, which I found
very difficult to treat to advantage, and to my sur
prise the case was speedily cured by the use of
the water alone. Subsequently to the above
case, I sent another patient to the Springs who
was reduced very low by uterine obstruction and
chronic inflammation, with a pulse up to about
120 beats in a minute; she was soon entirely
restored to health, by a light diet and the use of
the water without any Medicine whatever.
A. B. ARNOLD, xM. D.
Lowndsville, S. C., April 3d, 1841.
I hereby certify from personal experience, that
the Abbeville Mineral Springs Waters tire ex
cellent for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints. I
was taken there in the last stages of Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, when given out of all hopes
of living, both by my relations and several Physi
cians who had attended me; I stayed at the
Springs six or seven weeks each year for three
years, and now I am able to attend to the most of
my domestic affairs. I consider the Abbeville
Mineral Springs preferable to any of the East
Tennessee Waters, for 1 had tried them well pre
vious to attending the above said Springs.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
\ FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF THF
©if
|IE Legislature, at their last session, deem-
JL ed it ex|iedieiit 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 of
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original plan: it done at all, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by lollowing
out the plan so happily commenced ill lca.7, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
the State has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on the part ot tier agent, to the
cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States of
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 tor the benefit and honor of his adopted State,
to proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ
ent parts of tlie State, he 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 c itizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles, being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of tiie citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
ricli 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 his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription for the work
shall bo appropriated to the completion ot the
survey of the remainiug counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.
