IL&mC ITLTUjRAI.. From the Baltimore Amer. Fanner. ESSAY ON THE CULTIVATION, FEEDING, Ac. OF ROOTS. GATHERING AND STORING. The sugar beet and mangel wurtzel, as also the rutabaga, are all drawn from the ground by hand ; but in regard to the two first named roots, the operator should while he holds the root in his hand twist off the top as it may be done quite as soon as cut ting—with less danger of injury to the roots and thereby require once handling only to complete this operation. The tops and roots may each be thrown in separate heaps when they are ready to be loaded, by boys into carts. The harvesting of the rutaba ga should vary somewhat from this, as with them, it is necessary to use a knife ; for it is highly important that the fibrous root or roots of turnip be all cut off. Animals should not be permitted to eat them—they possess an acid quality which invariably produces scouring, and if persisted in will reduce the finest animal to a skeleton.— Several individuals of my acquaintance, who have recently commenced the cultiva tion of rutabaga inform me that they have produced such a laxitive state of the bow els, as to produce doubts in their minds whether they are actually of any service as food for stock; upon enquiry, I found in every case the fibrous roots had been fed with the bulb. I have fed several animals the past winter (for beef) with 1 1-2 bush els each per day without an exception, their bowels have,, remained in a healthy state during the whole time. A small quantity of salt is given with the morning mess each day. But to return to the gatherim? : the cheapest and most expeditious mode is to pull and throw four or five roots together ; ether hands follow with suitable knives— seize the top, and in one stroke seperate the small root or roots from the bulb or turnip; and by another stroke below the hand divest it ofthe top —throwing the tops in small heaps a dry situation should be selected, and a hole dug four feet wide and one foot deep, of any length that maybe required, fill up even with the surface and continue adding untill it assumes the form of the roof of a building, only steeper ; cover with the long straw, and over that sufficient quantity of earth to protect the roots from frost ; let them remain in this situation un til the ground becomes frozen, then with a crowbar or something similar, make holes on the centre of the ridge through to the roots, at the distance of four feet from each other. If these directions be followed, they will be in as fine a condition on the first of March as when buried. Burying in the field is certainly preferable to cellars, par ticularly for the turnip as they are more liable to heat than the beet which should by all means be avoided, if possible, if they are intended as food for milch cows as the young and tender leaves which they throw out when they become heated, impart a very disagreeable flavor to both milk and butter. Every farmer however should have a cellar under or contiguous to his barn that would contain a sufficient quantity to feed during the winter, or a great portion of it. As the roots are now disposed of, a word in regard to the tops : they should be gathered and laid, (not too thick) in some cool place ; those from beets should be fed milch cows —from rutabaga to your stock, or cows not in milk, as they give to the butter an un pleasant flavor. Every farmer who cultivates the mangel wortzel sugar beet should raise his own seed as it is not unfrequently happens that three fourths of the seed will not vegetate; a serious loss and disappointment after the expense and trouble of preparing the land, ‘fhe cause of this failure is generally attri buted to old seed. I was also under this impression until I attempted to raise my own seed, when 1 discovered the true cause. The seed plants throw out a number of long and tender stems or stalks, are broken off by the first storm or rain or wind they en counter. The seed from this stalk are all gathered by the seedsman and sold with a good seed, as they scarcely differ in exter nal appearance from those that have per fected. Where the plants are sot in rows a few sticks with the forked ends, set in the ground on each side the row with poles laid in the fork at a proper height, furnish a cheap and sufficient support. Single roots may be supported by two or more small cords tied round the stems at heights. Os good seed, one pound of rutabaga and two pounds of beet are amply sufficient for one acre. My experience in the cultiva tion of the carrot has been very limited finding them to require so much more hand labor than the beet or turnip, with greater expense in gathering, while they were far inferior in point of productiveness, I was under the impression that their superiority as food for stock was more than counterbal anced by the increased quantity per acre of the roots at less expense, and therefore abandoned their cultivation. I have made some experiments in steam ing roots for my stock, but did not consider the advantage derived from this process sufficient to pay for the extra labor and ex pense. My apparatus being small (having been erected for preparing food for a small number of swine,) and not convenient to iny barn, I found it attended with much labor—and as this cannot be done under the eye of the farmer who like myself su perintends and aids in executing the other labors of the farm; much time is generally wasted by the hand employed in preparing the food and distributing it among the stock. The plan of feeding which I have adopted is as follows. Near the cellar which con tains the root is placed an oblong box, made of plank, say three feet by six, into which the roots are thrown : a common garden spade ground sharp used to cut them ; bas kets with a hoophandle that will each hold a feed for one animal are provided ; with these the prepared roots are carried by a boy into the alley in front of the stalls in which the animals are confined, and depos ited in a tight manger [the first stall in the range being only twenty feet from the cel lar.] In this way two hoys one to cut and the other to carry the roots will feed a large stock in a very short time and under the eye of the master while he is employed in at tending to the other about the stables and yard. A small quantity of salt is given with the roots once a day. I have for some time entertained the opin ion that the best plan of feeding roots is to grate them fine and mix them with cut hay or straw ; and this opinion has been con firmed by an experiment made during the past winter : Pounding the beets to a jelly and mixing with them an equal quantity of cut straw moistened with water the whole mess was eaten greedily, and in two weeks the animal had evidently improved in ap pearance—eating the samequantity of roots she had before. It is very certain, the more coarse provender cattle can be induced to eat with their richer or more nourishing food the better will be their condition.— Thus in wintering store cattle, after they have their feed of stalks or hay in the morn ing, a rack is filled with straw to which they have access through the day, by which (experience has proved) they are as much benefitted. J contemplate procuring for use next winter a grate mill, (similar to those used for apples) to attach to the horse power connected with my threshing machine by which a sufficient quantity for a large stock may be prepared for in a short time, as they will grate apples at the rate of sixty bushels per hour: expense exclusive to horse power from 16 to 20 dollars. Swine eat the sugar beet greedily—they eat them in preference to the turnip ; but when the beet is fed in any quantity they should be cooked, as they invariably produce scour ing or looseness of the bowels when fed in a raw state, when cooked and fed with a small quantity of meal or bran, hogs thrive and fatten rapidly upon them. Horses also prefer the beet to the turnip, and when worked hard and grained, one feed of beets per day is of great service, as they are cool ing and opening to the system, and keep the animal in a healthy vigorous condition.— Although for horses I prefer the finer vari eties of potatoes to any other root, the com parative cheapness of the beet, however, must induce us to give them the preference on the score of economy. There exists much difference of opinion in regard to the relative value ofthe roots, and I have long j been anxious to make some experiments I that would settle the matter satisfactorily, as most of opinions that I have seen or heard either verbal or written, have been mere guess work. With this view, I last fall procured in NewYork a lactometer (a glass instrument ten inches long and three fourths of an inch in diameter, worked off into tenths and hundredths) for the purpose oftesting the richness of milk. With this instrument I have tried the milk of all my cows, and to my great surprise find they give from nine to twenty five per cent of cream—varying sixteen per cent. Only one gives twenty five per cent., and she, one ofthe best milkers in the yard, in three successive trials made with her milk, gave the same result; no other cow giving over sixteen per cent. On the Ist of January last I com menced measuring milk of a cow from which the calf had been sold previous to ; she had been fed on turnips (rutabaga from before calving up to this time) for four weeks previous one bushel per day. Her milk was carefully measured for six suc cessive days : average ten quarts one gill per day ; lactometer filled three times du ring the week, gave each time fifteen per cent cream. Feed changed to sugar beet —one bushel per day for one week ; com mencement of second week, measured— continued for six days (same feed ;) aver age quantity per day, eight quarts and half pint; lactometer filled three times, each time giving eleven and a half per cent of cream. This experiment, thus far was de cided in favor ofthe rutabaga, and the ap pearance of the animal at the close of the beet feeding was not as good as while fed on the turnip. I again changed the feed to turnip, intending to feed one week, and a gaiu measure, but a severe and protracted illness in my family prevented any further experiments at this time. On the 19th of March, I commenced mea suring the milk of another cow from which the calf had been taken a few days previous. Her feed for some time had been one bush el of beets per day, and continued for one week, during which the milk was measured —average per day, eleven quarts and one half pint; milk tried three times, gave elev en and a half per cent, of cream. Feed changed to turnips ; one bushel per day for one week, then commenced measuring; con tinued six days—average per day ten quarts one gill; milk tried as before, gave nine per cent, of cream. Changed feed to su gar beet; one bushel per day for one week second week commenced measuring—con tinued six days—average per day nine quarts one half pint—milk then giving ten per cent cream. In this experiment there is a gradual falling ofl'in quality in each of the changes of feed, and an increase of richness on resuming the beet feed. The apparent inferiority of the turnips in this case, I attribute to their having been se verely frozen in the fall, as a part of my turnips were frozen in the ground, but the ground thawing in a few days they were taken up and buried. Although these ex periments are very far from being conclu sive, I am rather inclined to give preference to the turnip. I intend however, to contin ue them until I am entirely satisfied ; in tending also to try the different grains (ground); feeding in the proportion ofthe average produce of each per acre. I shall also procure a thermometer to be used in future. I find these experiments cannot be conducted with perfect accuracy without one, as the quantity of cream depends very much upon the temperature. I filled the lac- tometer in the winter A hung it in a situation where I should suppose it to have been near the freezing point, and in five hours a per fect separation had taken place; all the cream being upon the surface (none rising after,) the instrument being as before stat ed, ten inches in length. It was filled a gain with milk from the cow, and hung in the dwelling-room over a stove where the temperature was about summer heat, and in fifteen hours no separation had taken place—not a particle of cream appearing upon the surface. This will suggest to those having the management of dairies, the great advantage of setting their pans for a few hours in cold water. lam well satis fied that in nine dairies out often, the milk in summer does not yield half its cream.— The lactometer and a common tumbler 3 inches deep and 3in diameter at top, were filled with milk from the same cow at one time, and placed it in a situation where they had the same temperature ; the cream all rose to the surface in one as in the oth er. This explodes the old and firmly es tablished opinion of the necessity of shal low pans. I have been both gratified and instructed by these experiments, and hope others may be induced to try them, as it is from numerous experiments only that we can arrive at a correct conclusion. I have no doubt but that the quantity of butter made, from the milk in our country, during the summer season, under proper manage ment, may be more than doubled. This certainly is a very important matter, both to the productor and the consumer. tfFiikcs Sfeesiff’s Scales. i N SEPTEM 13 ER. WILKES SHERIFF’S SALE.

TAYLOR’S UiUM OF LIVERWORT HAS been used successfully for eight years in the cure of these diseases. ID’ Re member ! tiie original and genuine is made only at 375 Bowery, N. Y., ALL others are spurious and unauthorized ! Consumption and Liter Complaint! —As a general remedy for these diseases 1 am fully sat isfied, from long experience, there is no Medi cine equal to l)r. 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. 1 have used it for four years in my practice, and always with success. A. F. ROGERS, M. I). 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 oi 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. li ail 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. ET Spitting of Blood. —This disease consists of a discharge oi 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 imnie diale 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. 113’ Nervous Diseases and Weakness. —Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, made at 375 Bow ery, is assuredly an excellent remedy for iliese diseases. My wife has been more or less ill for ten years. She was extremely nervous, and at times so weak that she could not attend lo her domestic duties. By the use of this medicine, tier strength is wholly restored, and she is as healthy as 1 can wish her 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 ,line 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, which 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 of 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 iier for a few days, but by lessening the dose, she found it an swered admirably : it relieved her cougli and her difficulty of breathing instanter ; and we had the pleasure of witnessing her rapid recovery to health.

By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of the means of completing the survey ofthe on the original plan: if done at all, it must th at individual risk and expense. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following out the plan no happily commenced hi 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 iicr 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 tiie 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, ortho subscriber must depend for support, on individ ual patronage, lie 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 iellow 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 ot the State, and the whole consolidated and published tor the information and benefit ot the citizens, public patronage is most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind, is much needed m Georgia, a State comprising an area of sixty thousand square miles, being destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or history oi the same. A majority of the citizens must, irom necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties of the different sections. Favored as the subscriber has been, by lour 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 lie shall be able to meet the approbation of his fellow citizens. The subscriber pledges his honor, that the proceeds arising from subscription tor the work shall be appropriated to ihe completion of the survey of the remaining counl es of the Stale, and that they shall be finished as they will be needed for publication.
