AGRICULTURAL. 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. Lexington, Va. Feb. 20, 1841 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. Rochester Advertiser.

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.
