ASRICTLTURAL. ‘
From the Carolina Planter.
CURING AND STACKING FODDER.
Mu. Editou :—Until last year, I was in
the habit of curing iny fodder wholly in the
sun anil putting it up in double stacks.—
This, I call the old plan. The objections
to it arc, in this place, that many of the
leaves dry, crumble, and are lost, ere the
sterns and succulent portions are fit to be
stacked. In the second place, that an in
tensely hot sun is hurtful to the fodder, that
cured in the shade being always the most
fragrant and nutritious. It is the practice
of the best English, French, and Flemish
farmers, in curing their hay, to expose it
as little as possible to the sun. It is car
ried in dry, but it preserves its green color;
and you see hay two or three years old in
the market of so bright a green color, that
we would scarcely conceive it to be cured,
yet they are in the practice of preserving it
for years, & value it more for its age. Cured
in this way scarcely a leaf is wasted, and
that the hay preserves its freshness and fra
grance ; and it is said that at least ten per
cent is gained in quantity, and as much in
quality. A third objection to the old plan
is, that the fodder is more liable to be seri
ously injured by dews and rain ; and the
fact is, in a season like this, when we have
had rains almost every day, if we are to de
pend upon curing our fodder wholly in the
sun, we shall not have one good stack in
ten. If therefore, we can fall upon a plan
by which we can make better fodder and
with less sunshine, we shall of course, be
running less risk, and stand a better chance
of getting in that part of the crop. With
this view, I have the fodder that is pulled
in the forenoon, stacked in the evening of
the same day, provided there has been no
rain about it. If it is wet, I allow it to be
come perfectly dry before it is stacked; and
my plan of stacking is simply this :
A polo is placed in the ground, at the
spot where you intend to stack. F'our oth
er poles, or fence rails, if your stacks be
small, are placed round the centre pole a
bout a foot or more from the bottom, and
then all tied together at the top with a grape
vine or any thing handy forming a cone.—
Place some brush or few rails at the bottom
so as to raise the fodder a little off the
ground. Then commence laying your fod
der in single bundles around this cone, and
when you have finished, it will be a hollow
stack. The air having free passage under
neath the stack,will circulate in the hollow,
and the fodder will finish curing in tin
shade and unexposed to the Weather. You
may cure and stack pea-vines in the same
way.
For this improvement, as I conceive it to
be, lam indebted to an old agriculture
friend who has had 40 years experience in
planting, and who had all his life followed
the “good old way” of curing and stacking
fodder, until about two years ago happen
ed to learn from an Agricultural paper—
not an “old negro,” that the best mode of
curing hay &c. was to expose it but little
to the sun, he conceived his plan of stack
ing fodder so as to have it partly cured in
the shade. He has adopted the plan for the
last two years, and thinks he makes better
fodder by it and certainly runs less risk of
weather. I have also had fodder stacked
in the same way and am much pleased
with the plan ; and I now send it to you to
make “look knowledge” of it.
FCENUM.
COB MEAL.
The properties ofthe corn cob have been
frequently analyzed, and various results
have been reported ; butall concur in de
claring it to be extremely valuable. Some
have considered the nutritious matter ofthe
cob to be one-third of the grain.
So satisfactorily lias the economy of
ground and cut food been established of
late years, that it is now almost universally
used. Every body knows, that the meal
from the grain of the corn requires some
separating admixture to make it a healthy
food and our merchant mills in this city sell
enormous quantities of wheat bran for this
purpose. Now, cob meal is found to beat
least 4 times as nutritious as bran, and e
qually as separating,and yet farmers throw j
away the corn cob and come to Richmond
to buy bran.
Every corn mill should be furnished
with a crusher or a cob-grinder, which mav
be added at an expense of about fifty dol
lars, and all the corn that is intended for
feeding cattle should be ground up corn and
cob together. At the lowest estimate, corn
cobs must be worth six and a quarter cents
a bushel at any mill door, where a crusher
has been erected. If they can be obtained
at any tiling like that price, they might ve
ry profitably be made to enter largely into
the feed trade. To the farmer, who would
iiave them ground for his own use, they are
worth double sum. How long
will farmers continue to complain of hard
times, yet fail to avail themselves of the
most obvious principles of rural economy.
Scasonfor Cutting Grain. —lt is a good
practice to cut every kind of grain rather
before it is fully ripe in the grain or the
straws. In a fine season, some farmers
cut their crops when they find the neck of
the straw immediately under the car free
of juice when twisted round between the
finger and thumb, and do not wait until the
lower part of the stems are dry and yellow
because they find in such a season the
straw to die from the ear downward. In a
bad season, on the other hand, the lower
part ofthe stem first becomes yellow and
dry ; after which ofcourse, the crop is not
allowed to stand, for in such a season the
ear never becomes mature, having less ab
soroitivc nower whilst the vitality of the
root is early destroyed by the combined cf-1
sects of bad weather and an ungenial state
of the soil. —Jour of Agriculture.
IIORSES.
We once marked a fine sorrel belonging
to Mr. II , in B , who day after day
amused himself with a practical joke on
some hogs. He would while grazing on
the green with them, edge cautiously and
watchfully along, until ho gotthem between
him and the river bank, and then suddenly
backing his ears, and whinnowing, he would
dash at them, and drive them over the bluff;
and as they went rolling and scrambling to
the water’s edge, he would crane over the
brink to see the fun, with a silent horselaugh.
We have heard of horselaughs, but never
saw one executed by a horse before or since.
The hogs, never seeming to understand the
! joke, exposed themselves often to its repe
tition ; and as often as they did so, he re
peated the same sly approach, and sudden
rush, until he seemed perfect in his tactics,
and never weary of his fun. Other horses
are trained to do clever things, but that was
an original genius. There was something
human in it ; and we enjoyed it as much,
as when we see human swine absorbed in
their earthly instincts, and rooting sordidly
on in one dull routine of selfishness, flurried
and turned topsy turvy by the mischievous
I wag, who lias a soul above vegetables. We
dare say the pigs thought the sorrel took
liberties, and were as indignant at his in
decorum, as a buzzard is with a boy who
pelts him with a corn cob ; yet they put
themselves in the way of being worried a
gain, just as wo see the victims of the Circe
of complacent vanity, or the soulless drudg
es of venality day alterday stupidly follow
ing their noses to the brink of an upset—
and when startled and tumbled over, indig
nantly grunting and squeaking, and coin
j ing back to be turned over again, and never
thanking the superior animal for not turn
ing in seriously and kicking them to death.

GROWING PLANTS IN CHARCOAL.
In the appendix to the first part of Prof.
Liebig’s Organic Chemistry, is an interest
ing paper on the action of Charcoal on
plants, from “ Buckner’s Repertorium,” by
E. Lucas. The experiments were perfor
med at Munich. That plants would vege
tate and grow in nearly pure charcoal, was
discovered by accident, and this discovery
was followed by experiments, which placed
the action of this substance in a curious and
striking light.
The first experiment consisted in mixing
a certain proportion of charcoal dust with
the soil, increasing the quantity in the suc
cessive experiments until pure charcoal
dust was alone used. When two-thirds of
the coal was used with vegetable mold,
several classes of plants, such as the Gen
seria and Aroidcae, were found to thrive
admirably, and attracted much notice by
the great beauty of their parts, and their
general appearance. They quickly sur
passed those cultivated in the common way,
in their thick stems, rich color of their
leaves, and their beautiful blossoms. “A
Cactus placed in a mixture of equal parts
of charcoal and earth, throve progressively,
and attained double its former size in the
course of a few weeks.” It was also found
that in all those cases in which it was cus
tomary to mix sand with the mold in which
plants were to lie set, the substitution of
charcoal dust for the sand, always render
ed the vegetation stronger and more vigor
ous.
Experiments were now made with pure
charcoal, and the best results were obtain
ed. More than 40 species of plants, which
are many of them named, were grown in
this way ; and cuts of plants from different
genera took root and grew well and quick
ly. Pure charcoal acts excellently as a
means of curing unhealthy plants. A Do
rianthes Excelsa, for example, which had
been drooping three years, was rendered
completely healthy in a very short space of
time by this means. An orange tree which
had the very common disease in which the
leaf become yellow, acquired within four
weeks its healthy green color, when the
upper surface ofthe earth was removed from
the pot in which it was contained, and a ring
of charcoal of an inch in thickness strewed
in its place around the periphery of the
pot.”
The charcoal employed was the dust
like powder from the fire or pine coal, such
as is used by blacksmiths, and produced the
most effect when it had been exposed thro’
the winter to the action of the air. Exper
iments with animal and other charcoals
were made, but that from pine proved supe
rior to the rest, on account of its fineness
and the ease with which it is decomposed.
Charcoal acts in two ways ; first, by its
tendency to preserve all plants and sub
stances from decay ; and secondly, by the
carbonic gas it furnishes during the slow
decomposition it undergoes, and which in
five or six years converts it into a coaly
earth. It thus yields directly and con
stantly, one of the most essential elements
i of plants, and gives a beautiful color, and a
great luxuriance to plants cultivated in that
I manner. Where pure charcoal was used,
large quantities of water were required, as
the air having free access dries the roots
rapidly, unless prevented by water plenti
fully applied.
That charcoal is of great value as any
agent in promoting vegetation, has long
been known to every one who has witnessed
the crops successively grown on those pla
ces where coal pits have been burned ; but
a great loss is sustained annually by the
waste of the immense quantities of dust at
the forges, furnaces and smith-shops of the
country, where this substance is considered
a nuisance rather than otherwise. We
have seen the best effect produced by the
mixture of coal dust with the soil of the
garden, and hope more attention will be
paid to this matter than has hitherto been
done.
TURNIPS.
In previous numbers of the Agriculturist
we have given some directions for the cul- ■
I ture of turnips, but as it is not yet too late
for sowing, a few more remarks may not
be untimed. We have had good turnips
sown from the middle of April to the middle
of September, but duly and August are the
best seasons for this climate. To make a
good crop, have the ground rich, and break
it deep early in the season, and be sure to
pulverize it thoroughly by harrowing be
fore sowing. A pound to the acre is e
nough seed, if they are sown regularly,
and if they arc put in drills, less will an
swer ; but it is best if we err at all, that we
err on the safe side ; therefore, while you
arc sowing, put down some seed to be kil
led by the heat of the son and others for the
flies. If the sowing is broadcast, and a
drought is feared, it is best to plough in the
seed and then harrow or brush the land.
We arc inclined to the belief, turnips can
be made one of the most profitable crops in
proportion to the labor required, that is.—
As to the manner of preserving them and
feeding them to stock, we will speak more
particularly hereafter.— Agriculturalist.
PICKLES.
We find the following in an exchange
paper, and give it as we find it, without
vouching for its correctness. But should
it prove equal to its pretensions, it must be
preferable to any mode with which we are
acquainted.
A correspondent of the. New England
Farmer gives an efficient method of pick
ling cucumbers, which he learned from an
old sea captain in the West Indies. The
recipe is very simple, and the superiority
of pickles cured by its directions, has been
tested by many year’s experience. They
are neither alFectcd by age or climate.—
The following is the receipt:—“To each
hundred of cucumbers put a pint of salt,
and pour in boiling water sufficient to cov
er the whole. Cover them tight to prevent
the steam from escaping, and in this con
dition, let them stand for twenty-four hours.
They are then to be taken and after being
wiped perfectly dry, (care being taken that
the skin is not broken,) placed in the jar,
in which they are to be kept. Boiling Vin
egar (if spice is to be used, it should be
boiled with the vinegar,) is then to be put
to them, the jar closed tight, and in a fort
night delicious hard pickles are produced,
as green as the day were upon the
vines.” The best vinegar to be used.

I)R. TAYLOR’S
BALSAM OF LIVERWORT
HAS boon used successfully for eight years
in the cure of these diseases. ID“ Re
member ! the original and genuine is made only
ai 375 Bowery, N. Y., ALL others are spurious
and unauthorized !
Consumption and Liter Complaint! —As a
general remedy for these diseases I 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 ar.d 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
oi appetite, liver complaints, and many other dis
eases, prey upon them, making them pale and
lean of llesh. 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
miid and purely vegetable, answers females’ ad
mirably. If 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.
ID” Spitting of Blood. —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. Bui 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.
O’ Nervous Diseases 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
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 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
time since with a cold, pain in the breast, and
some difficulty of breathing, and in a tew 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 r
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 her for a few
days, but by lessening the dose, she found it an
swered 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 SMITHS.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF TIIF
Qr&Y'E ©IF ©IE©K©OA- a
FBI HE Legislature, at their last session,
-1- ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
tiie Slate Geologist, in consequence of the pjji
barrassed finances of the Stale. By this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived if
the means ot completing the survey ol tlie Stall',
on the original plan: if 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 following
out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, ami
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
the estate has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may bo 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 he abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by four years investigation of the
Geology of the Slate, lost to her citizens, ortho
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. 11c 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 ic'llow citizens, in ditler
ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to (heir 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 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 of the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, he unacquainted with the
rich 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 Slate,
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 tho
proceeds arising from subscription tor the work
shall be appropriated to the completion of tho
survey of the remainiug counties of the State,
and that they shall he finished as they will bo
needed for publication.
