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.

Consumption
AND
Liver Complaint •
DR. TAYLOR’S
BALSAM OF LIVERWORT
HAS been used successfully for eight years
in the cure of these diseases. 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. Rev. WILLIAM SMYTHE.

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.
