AGRICULTURAL. From the New- York Farmer. PROTECTION AGAINST DROUGHT In tillage, the best protection against drought that can be conveniently practised to a great extent, is frequently stirring the earth, so as to keep it light and loose. In this way, the eartli at the surface is in ma ny small particles, which serve as a non conductor of moisture, and retain it below where the roots obtained a supply. On the contrary, when the earth is hard and compact, the moisture is readily con ducted oil'through it, even to a great depth j in a Very dry time. As an illustration, if one end of a long bar of iron be put into the fire, the heat will readily pass to the other end: but if that bar be cut into pieces of one inch or less in length, and laid along in tiie manner of a bar, the pieces would touch in some (daces, and in others there would be a small space between them ; and on heating one end, the other would not be effected, as the heat would not puss but a small space through the pieces. Again, we will suppose that a fire of in tense heat be made on a block of iron that is four feet square, and ten feet high, the body of iron would fast become heated downward, even to the bottom. Now, if that iron should be cut or broken into fine pieces, and a body of iron formed of these pieces, of the same size as the block, and a tire of a like degree of heat made thereon, the heat would work down slowly, after penetrating a small distance through the many particles, and the air intervening be tween them. We give this as the theory. It is the practice, as in all other things, that we rely on as the foundation of true sci ence. There is in a dry time, a great quantity of moisture in the earth, that is continually rising and passing off in evaporation ; and if this evaporation can be prevented, in a great measure, by a non-conductor of mois ture at the surface, the plants will suffer comparatively but little. This is abun dantly showed in practice. Those who have not witnessed from ex periments and observation the advantages of fine loose earth on the surface, as a pro tection of plants against drought, would not be likely to suppose its effect so great as it is, though tiie theory is plausible and rea sonable. Corn and other vegetables that have been well hoed in extremely dry time, have flourished well, while some parts left ibr experiment were nearly destroyed by drought. We. noticed the powerful effects of this protection last season. We cultivated a tew acres, mostly dry land,and the drought was severe indeed. Where the soil was frequently stirred and kept light and loose on the top, there was a constant moisture a short distance from the top ; but where the earth remained unmoved, it dried to a great depth. A narrow strip, running across tiie piece, was left for turnips, and remained un ploughed. On this the soil became dry be low the usual depth of ploughing, and the weeds were almost dead for want of mois ture, while at the side, weeds of the same kind in the edge of the ploughed ground, were fresh and vigorous, and the soil was dry only a few inches on the surface. Where some grain was sowed, the earth was dry down six or seven inches; while by the side of it, where the soii was often stirred, it was dried down only three or four inches. And in this latter case, the moist earth had a good degree of moisture, while the former contained but little. From the Western Fanner and Gardener. CULTIVATION OF CORN. The difference of opinion among farmers as to the best mode of cultivating corn, in duced me some years ago, to give some at tention to the subject. The reasons assign ed, and the experience of many of the best agriculturists, in favor of the system oflev ei cultivation, have conceived me that our present mode is not the best, and that it is susceptible of a decided change tor the bet ter. I am perfectly aware, that to question the propriety of the exclusive use of the plough in the cultivation of corn w ill lie laughed at, and that to intimate that the ridging of a corn field is the most certain inode of ensuring a good crop will he do-I nounccd as mere “book farming,” and hence entitled to no respect. Tiie present mode of cultivation is gen erally, to burn off the stalks and stubble that may he upon the ground—to break up with a shallow furrow—plant the corn with out rolling or harrowing the ground—then harrowing the corn while small, and then by ploughing as often as may he deemed necessary. In ploughingthc corn, the pre vailing and almost universal rule is, to (dough close to the corn hills, “ to cut the fi bres of the roots so as to increase and streng then the stalks, as you cut the roots of trees in an orchard by ploughing, to make the trees grow vigorously !! ‘■—to throw the earth high upon the stalks, and to lay by the crop by ploughing three or four furrows between the rows, that the ground may be well ridged, so as to retain the moisture a bout the hills of corn !!! The system of culture, that I believe is sustainable by reason and experience is the opposite of all this. 1. If the ground intended to be cultivated j in corn hasagood sod upon it, itshould bo broken up in the fall or winter preceding, if the weather is suitable ; if not, it should he ploughed in February, or at least the first week of March. If not level it should be rolled, and ifnot mellow it should be har rowed before planting. •?. Ifstubble or corn ground, no stubble i nor stalks should bo burned or removed un less taken to the manure pile—should be ploughed six inches deep, and ifnot mellow should he hurrowed 3. While small, the corn should bo har rowed and the ground should he afterwards ! kept mellow and loose by the repeated use I of the cultivator. 4. On seed ground a (dough should nev er be used in the cultivation of corn. 5. On other ground the plough should never be used, after the roots have extended any distance from the hills, and at no time unless uudispensaldy necessary to prevent the ground from baking. 0. The fibres or small roots of the corn should uot be cut; the cutting off every fi bre deprives the stalk of a part of its nour ishment. 7. The earth should not he thrown high upon the hills, as it induces the throwing out of additional spur roots. Avery slight portion of mould may he put around the hill. The ground in the cultivation of corn should bo kept as level as possible, to per mit the roots to extend in every direction and to retain moisture. Ridging, cuts the roots—prevents the extension of the surface of the roots beyond the middle of the rows —drains the water from the hills—exposes more surface to the action of the sun, and is therefore injurious to the crop in a dry season. My own limited observation and experi rience, satisfy me of the correctness of the above rules to be observed, in the cultiva tion of corn, and I now offer the opinions of the ablest and most practical farmers in the United States to sustain the position 1 have assumed. Judge Buel, who for good sense —for a thorough knowledge of the science of agri culture—for general intelligence—practi cal experience—and for a most extensive knowledge and familiarity with the modes adopted by our agriculturalists, was une qualled by any man in the United States,in speaking of the cultivation of this crop, ex pressed the following opinions: j “ The after culture consists in keeping the soil loose and free from weeds, which is ordinarily accomplished by two dressings, and in thinning the plants, which latter may | he done the first hoeing, or partially omitted | till the last. The practice of ploughing a j mong corn, and of making large hills, is | justly getting into disrepute ; for the plough \ bruises and cuts the roots of the plants,turns | up the sod and manure to waste, and ren j dels the crop more liable to suffer by j drought. The first dressing should be per formed as soon as the size of the plants will permit, and the best implement to pre cede the hoe is a corn harrow ; adapted to the width of the rows, which every farmer can make. This will destroy most of the weeds and pulverize the soil. The second ! hoeing should be performed before or us i soon as the tassels appear, and may be pre | ceded bv the corn harrow, or a shallow fur row of the plough, or what is better than either, by the cultivator. A slight earthing is beneficial, provided the earth is scraped from the surface, and the sod and manure not exposed. It will he found beneficial to run the harrow or cultivator a third or even a fourth time between the rows, to destroy weeds and loosen the surface, particularly if the season is dry.” “Some entertain a mistaken notion, that ; it is prejudicial to stir the soil among com ! in dry weather, and others, that weeds serve , to prevent the evaporation of moisture by a | hot sun. The reverse of these opinions is j true. The exhaustation of moisture by a | plant is in the ratio of the surface of its j leaves and stalks presented to the sun and i air.” j Incombustible Wash for Wooden Build ings.—Slack stone lime in a large tub or barrel with boiiing water, cover the tub or barrel to keep in all the steam ; when thus slacked, pass six quarts through a fine seive ; it will then be in a state of fine flow er. Now to six quarts of this lime, add one quart of rock or Turks-lsland salt, and one gallon of water, then boil the mixture and skim it clean. To every five gallons of this skimmed mixture, add one pound of alum; lialf’ a pound of copperas, by slow degrees add three-fourths of a pound of potash, and four quarts of fine sand or hickory ashes, sifted. This mixture will now admit of any co loring matter you please, and may be appli ed with a brush ; it looks better than paint and is us endurable as slate ; it will stop small leaks in the roof; prevent the moss from growing on and rotting the wood, and render it incombustible, and when laid up on brick work, it renders the bricks imper vious to rain or wet.

B3 J Re member ! the original and genuine is made only at 375 Bowery, N. Y., ALL others are spurious and unauthorized ! Consumption and Liver Complaint! —As a general remedy for these diseases 1 am fully sat isfied, from long experience, there is no Medi cine equal to Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort Being purely vegetable, it can be used with the utmost safety by all persons in every condition It cleanses the lungs by expectoration, relieves difficult breathing, and seems to heal the chest. There can be no question, but this medicine is a certain cure for chronic coughs and colds. I have used it for four years in my practice, and always with success. A. F. ROGERS, M. D. To Females. —The number of females in deli cate health, is truly surprising. Weakness, loss of appetite, liver complaints, and many other dis eases, prey upon them, making them pale and lean ol flesh. All this can be remedied by the use of strengthening medicine, that will assist nature in all her movements, restore tone to the nerves and muscular organs. Os this kind is Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, which being mild and purely vegetable, answers females ad mirably. If all will use it, we are confident an elastic step, good appetite, and ruddy cheeks will follow. Once more, remember, the original and genuine is made at 375 Bowery. O Spitting of Bluihl. —This disease consists of a discharge of blood, often frothy, from the mouth, brought up with hawking and coughing, and is usually accompanied with difficulty of breathing, and some pain in the chest. Some times it is preceded by an oppression of the chest, a dry tickling cough, and slight shooting pains. This disease is always more or less dan gerous. The great danger is that these symp toms may terminate in consumption, and imme diate remedies can alone save this end. But Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort is a sure remedy, and to show its unparalleled success, certificates of cures from 421 citizens, and many physicians, will be published in a few days. IET Nervous Discuses and Weakness. —Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, made at 375 Bow ery, is assuredly an excellent remedy for these | diseases. My wife has been more or less ill for | ten years. She was extremely nervous, and at j times so weak that she could not attend to her domestic duties. By the use of this medicine, ! her strength is wholly restored, and she is as ! healthy as I can wish tier to be. My address is at Dr. Taylor’s office. Cure of Consumption. —Mrs. Martin, a worthy member of my congregation, was taken ill some time since with a cold, pain in the breast, and some difficulty of breathing, and in a few days thereafter, she had a violent cough and a violent pain in the sides, whicli no medicine would re lieve. She continued in this way for a long time, under the medical care of Dr. Rea, but fi nally became consumptive, and was evidently near the end ot her earthly sufferings, when her brother persuaded her to try Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort. When she commenced this med icine, it did not seem to agree with her for a few days, but by lessening the dose, she found it ar.- svvered admirably : it relieved her cough and her difficulty of breathing instanter ; and we had the pleasure of witnessing her rapid recovery to health.

I’ROI‘OSALS FOII PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION A FULL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL SURVEY OF TUP * SYAITE <£s)[F rpilE Legislature, at their last session, deem- 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 of the means of completing the survey of the State, on the original plan: it done at all, it xgustbc at individual risk and expense. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following out tiie plan so ltuppily 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 ol her 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 ot 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 rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ ent parts of the 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 ofthe citizens, 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 the citizens must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties of the different sections. Favored as the subscriber lias 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, be trusts that be 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 be appropriated to the completion of the survey of the remainiug counties of the State, and that they shall be finished as they will be needed for publication.
