IfiIRICIILTI !Hi.
From th Farmer and (lurdtner.
To prose I’Ve Potatoes A 'fi’iirisips
Ihriitigh Winter,
'l'u tin bid. of tin Farmer \ (Itirdcncr:
In compliance with thy request of the
Btli iust. I will describe tny practice of
preserving potatoes nnd turnips through
winter, for the benefit of thy southern
correspondent, 11. C. Hoyt, nnd others.
I have found hut little cliliiculty in keep
ing them in a sound state, in the latitude
of Baltimore, and I think they could al
so be preserved in North Carolina, hy
managing us follows:
Dig the potatoes after there has licen
frost enough to kill the \ ine.s. < Lie day’s
sit it will dry them sufficiently for storing,
a longer time of exposure would make
them rancid. Select a place for storing
the roots oil a dry, north hill side, sttfii
cicntly elevated to preserve them from
the injurious effect* of soaking rains.—
Dig the hides for receiving them from
one to three feet deep, according to the
soil, and not more than four feet wide,
else it will contain too large a Imlk for
preserving them without fermentation.—
Thu hole or pit may he made of any con
venient length which may he desired
then (ill in (lie potatoes, and raise the pile
above ground as long its they will lie on
the pile, and coverthem one or two inch*
cs thick with dry leaves, wheat straw, or
chalf; then cover the hole regularly with
the surrounding earth, enough to keep
out the frost—here (Baltimore) it requires
18 inches of earth, especially on the
north side of a heap. Let it he well
packed, and heaped to a point or ridge
nnd smoothly pressed "R it It a shovel, so
as to exclude the water from soaking in.
If the heap lie surrounded hy a small
drain tit n little distance from the pile, so
ns to carry off the lain, it would be an ad
ditional security against the injurious ef
fects of dampness.
Turnips may he saved in the same
manner, with the additional precaution
of forming a vent at the top of each hole,
or one at each end of n long pit, if that
form is adopted; which may be in the
following way:
After the straw covering is on, fix a
piece of wood about three inches diame
ter, and eighteen inches or two feet long,
on the top of the hole, and then pile on
the earth around it, and pack it close,
the thickness intended. By working the
piece of wood, it may he withdrawn
leaving a smooth hole through the cov
ering to the roots. In order to keep out
the rain, Jkc., lay around the hole three
half bricks, or stones, to support a large
sod, cut from a firm green sward, which
will cover the hole and the hri k or stone,
nnd will preserve the opening to pass off
the moisture from the turnips, which is
very injurious to their preservation.— l
Smaller holes or sides for the turnips
will be safer, and perhaps a mixture of
dry sand would bo found useful, as it has
been found valuable in suing beets, «ke.

Economy in Linen Washing.
A correspondent of a Dundee paper
writes as follows: “ Vfiler many experi
ments made by myself and others, I lint!
that pipe-clay, dissolved among the water
employed in washing, gives the dirtiest
linen the appearance of having been
bleached, and cleans them thoroughly
with about half the labor, and full a sat
ing of one fourth the soap. The method
adopted, was to dissolve a little of the
pipe-clay among the warm water in a
washing tub, or to rub a little of it togeth
er witli the soap on the articles to he
washed. The process was repeated as
often as required, until the articles w ash
ed were made thoroughly clean. All
who tried the experiment, have agreed
that the saving of soap ami labor is great;
and that the clothes are improved in col
or equally as if they were Ideuehod. The
pecu liar advantage of employing this ar
ticle with the soap is, that it gives the
hardest water almost the softness* of rain
water.”
The IStisbantlmai:.
There is one prevailing error among
this class of society which oujlit to be
eradicated and destroyed—it is more fa
tal to the basin -s of agriculture than the
growth of Canada thistles, <>r the destruc
tion of the May frosts—we mean the neg
lected education of the farmer’s children.
It is frequently remarked that education
is of little use to the farmer; a very little
science will do for him. Great knowl
edge is only beneficial io the professional
man. expressions of this sort are found
ed upon a false estimate of one of the
most useful and elevated professions of
life.
If the habitual business of the cultiva
tor does not afTord the mental powers a
field for their most extended exercise, we
know not where to look for such a field.
The study of agriculture unites to the
theory of science the very essential ma
terial of its practical parts, it uiakesthe
student experimentally and truly learned.
When we look upon the vast extent of
tlje territory of this continent, and con
sider the fertility of the soil, tliu rich
mines and the extensive minerals it pos
sesses, we are presented with an almost
illimitable ficl I for mental research and
scientific improvement.
Nearly e very thing that is useful in our
pilgrimage through life is drawn from
the earth. The main use of science is to
explore the niiuulia; of nature, to fathom
its secret caverns, nniTao bring forth the
hidden possessions of the earth into in
comprehensible identity. Where then is
the occupation that so richly furnishes a
perpetual supply of mental food as that
of agriculture, lotlic constant exercis
es and every day labor of the farmer the
business of Ins science is progressing, if
Ids intellect lias been set right in the ed
ucation of tiis youth. The theory is all
essential, for tins constitutes the imple
ment by which lie is to prosecute the stu
dy of nature to its practical utility.
A man cannot go forth upon the land
with any good degree of proud • in sci
entific experiment, without the light of
/unit experience upon his path way, and
thi* be can only obtain by a passage
through the literary institutions of the
country, where the results of the labors
of the learned for ages are collected to
gether and made accessible to the stu
dent. To attempt a prosecution of the
study of the sciences independent of the
past experience, as we sometime* incline
to consider ourselves, would lie vain.—
There is scarcely a valuable discovery of
modern times hut lias borrows and some
thing of its proportions or utility from ti e
mint! of antiquity.
Among the inhumed ruins of Pompeii
and Herculaneum, a vast multitude of
artificial curiosities have recently been
discovered, among w hich are implements
of surgery—one in particular was found
upon comparison with a very late inven
tion in Paris, to he nearly like it, and a
still greater improvement in London to
be exactly the same. Here we have the
result of the labor* of two of the most en
lightened kingdoms on •earth—and what
does it prove? Why simply that they
come up to the science of a people w ho
have slept almost two thousand years in
an unknown grave. When the entire
tomb of Vesuvius shall he broken up and
explored, there is little doubt that many
more of our modern discoveries will find
their exact Pompeiian and Herculaneum
prototypes. There facts cannot fail to
portray clearly the importance of a study
of past experiments of human life, both
a* a source of profit and an actual sat ing
ofiiime, labor and expense.
That the farmer by a scientific culti
vation of llis land, can increase to a very
great extent its productions, there does
not exist a rational doubt. And that the
time is coining when there will be actual
necessity lor this i..crease of production,
there is every possible appearance. It is
therefore not only wise and i xpedient to
commence or rather carry on now, this
improvi incut in husbandry, hut it is a
high duty which is owed already to pos
terity, in consideration of all the blessings
which past ages have bequeathed to us.
1 ' " ' ' I
Permit ns, therefore, in our humble
way, to impress upon the minds of the
fanners the very "rout usefulness of edu
cation to their children. (Jive your sons
and daughters not the less education be
cause you design them for rural life and
agricultural pursuit. If you are aide,
educate them they will find abundant
employment for all their science though
their farms bg located in the deep wilder
ness of the west; though they he cast
amid barren rocks and sterile sand plains,
science will aid them there.
Not a blade »f "Ms nor spear of strain
hut will grow better under the cultivation
of intellectual care. Not a (lower but
will show beauties to the eye of science,
which the vulgar world knows not of.—•
Not a vine but rears liner and produces
more where educated hands superintend
its growth. In short, nil nature is beau
tified. improved and bettered, where the
cultivator is no stranger to its properties
ami the science of its devclopemcnt.
Partners, give your children education.
It is the only earthly inheritance you can
bequeath them that is beyond the reach
ot accident. All other human property
is constantly changing and transitory.—
Science is not transferable—not like the
mutability of other fcood, negotiable; it i
firm and unshaken by human vicissitude.
It will he the enduring companion of
your children through life—it will sup
port them in nil the nfllictions of Provi
dential chastisement, and prepare them
for tin inheritance in that undiscovered
conntrv bovond the land of death.

PBOFOML*,
For publishing, in the City of Nashville,
Tennessee, a weekly Periodical, under
flic patronage of the Methodist epis
copal Church, to be called the
Sottlli-lYcslefu €!ia*l*4t«si
Advocate.
Y b| 11L General (Conference of tlie Me
tiiodist Episcopal Church, resolv
ed, at its late session in Cincinnati, Ohio,
to establish three additional weakly jour
nals, of the same character of those al
ready existing in Cincinnati and N. York.
The places selected for the contempla
ted operations of these additional papers,
are, Richmond, A a., Charleston, 8. C.,
and Nashville, Term.
The considerations, in view of which
these important measures were adopted
hy the highest authority in the Methodist
| Episcopal Church, are suck as have ac
tuated her from the commencement of
her successful career. It is to co-oper
ate with the good and wise of the age and
country in which we iive, in promoting
the present and eternal welfare of man; —
this is that for which the Church herself
exists, and for which she bears so promi
nent a part among the sister Churches of
tliis Republic, in the benevolent move
ments of the day : In promoting the in
terests of Bible, Missionary, Sunday
School, and Tract Societies: In building
tiji Colleges, Academies, and Schools, in
general, for the benefit of the rising gen
eration. No amplitude, enlargement, or
variation of means used in support of
these interests, implies any change in the
one gnat purpose of doing good. A Irion.
the first of these important means, may
he ranked the Periodical press. This,
indeed, is the lever power of the ago. Its
mighty energies may he brought to bear
with more power and efficiency upon the
high destinies of man, than most other
means united, apart from that Gospel
which “ is the power of God unto salva
tion.” A moral leverage of such tre
mendous energy, it is easy to perceive,
may he made the fearful instrument of
unspeakable mischief. Ft is, therefore,
the solemn duty of the Church—a duty
which she owes to her children, to her
country, and to her Great Head, to di
rect tlie operations of this mighty engine
with a prudent hand and a steady pur
pose. The fostering and guiding hand
of the Church, acting by tiic instrumen
tality of agents of her own appointment,
and over whom she exercises absolute
control, is certainly among the best
means of securing the proper manage
ment of the press. Responsible, indeed,
is the position of that man whose char
acter and qualifications for this work
have been virtually endorsed by the Gen
eral Conference ot the Methodist Episco
pal Chord). If such high responsibili
ties should fail to call forth the best ef
forts of the Editor of the South-Western
Christian Advocate, no promises, on his
part, could he expected to do so. It
I mav not be amiss, however, to make a
few statements as to the topics which the
Editor will feel himself at liberty to dis
cuss in *dsis paper. As citizens of these
United States, the members and friends
oftlie Methodist Episcopal Church, have,
in common with others, an abiding in
terest in the welfare of our flourishing
country, her civil institutions, &c. It is
not tlie province, however, of religious
journals to participate in those angry con
tests for political ascendancy which so
distract, at times, the elements of common
society. It is, nevertheless, in perfect
accordance w ith the design of this jour
nal, to give a summary of foreign and
domestic intelligence, as is common for
such journals.
As the South-A\ r estern Christian Ad
vocate will lie officially patronized by the
General Conference of the Methodist E
piscopal Church, for the same purposes
contemplated in the management of its
entire Book Concern, it will be expected*
as a matter of course, that the system of
doctrine and well-tried usages of that
Church should receive a hearty support;
—this, however, does not require, that
tiie doctrines and usages of other denom
inations should be interfered with, nor is
it intended they shall be, unless in self
defence.
This journal will circulate, we pre
sume, mostly (though - not exclusively we
hope,) in the South-West. From this, it
must not be supposed that Methodists in
this division of our common country,
have any interests or claims to defend, a
side from the Church, in general. We
are one people every where.
We look, however, to the South and
AA’est mainly for support; and we shall
not be disappointed. The preachers,
both travelling and local, will not only
aid in extending tlie circulation of this
paper, but they will write for its columns.
Yes, brethren, we claim this at your
hands, in the name of our common cause*
Arrangements hare been made with
the Editor and Proprietor of the AA EST
ern Methodist, .by which his entire
printing establishment will probably be
transferred to the General Book Concern,
and the profits of this paper be applied to
charitable purposes, as are those of the
New York and Cincinnati Advocates.
Great pains will be taken to secure a
neat and faithful execution of the me
chanical part of the paper. New type
will be procured, and competent work

To the friends and patrons of the Tem
perance cause, in this State, or elsewhere.
F| - PUIE Temperance Banner, which lias
JsL been flying from this post, the last
two years, now languishing, must furl its
colors, and die within this year— staiv'd
to death by its friends! It is proposed
however, in lieu thereof, to publish a
Monthly Sheet, in the form and size of
the Christian Index ; under the style of
Tfee Tcsiissertmce Banner
AND
Tolhl Abstinence Aitvocnlc.
This paper will he issued on the first of
January, 1827, provided provision suffi
cent, shall have been laid in by that time
for its support.
li is deemed now, altogether unneces
sary, to employ argument to show the
propriety of having such a publication;
the subject is fully before the public.—
\A r e only say to tlie friends of the cause
that if they want a Temperance Papes
pnblished in Georgia, they must bestir
themselves in its behalf. If the Banner
and Advocate should meet the needful
support, it is proposed to add an Agricul
tural Department to it, nnd such otl er
tilings as may be deemed of particular
interest from time to time.
TERMS.—The Banner and Advocate
will be sent to a single Subscriber at One
Dollar per annum. Seven copies will
be forwarded to the single address of any
one, who will send us Five Dollars. To
Societies, through their Secretaries, fif
teen copies will lie sent for Ten Dollars*
and so on in proportion.
No paper will be sent without the mo
ney is paid, (unless otherwise provided
for,) nor continued longer than the time
for which the payment is made, unless
renewed.
Those, who shall have paid in advance
for the Temperance Banner, shall re
ceive the Banner and Advocate till their
terms of payment are out; but it is re
quested that all, who are determined to
discontinue at the expiration of their
payments, will let us know it, before the
first of January next, that we may know
how - to calculate our resources.
AlM’ommunicationsmustbe post-paid,
and addressed to tlie Editor of tlie Ban
ner and Advocate.
{£7=>A!l money, forwarded for the Ban
ner and Advocate, shall becarefully kept,
and should the paper not be published,
held subject to tlie order of those who
paid it. JESSE MERCER.
