SOMMER THE BEST TIME TO FELL TIMBER.
Messrs. Editors :—I am pleased to see
that yourselves as well as several of your
correspondents, have lately been giving
to the public through the Country Gentle
man, views and experience in regard to the
best time in the year to fell timber for las
ting purposes.
As this is a matter of importance, and
afi the minds of people differ much in re
gard to it, 1 propose that those who feel
like doing the cause justice shall send in
for publication their views and experience
in the matter. I for one will now do so.
I will here give a specimen of tho ideas
It has rained most of the time with us
for the last six weeks. Cotton is shed
ding its forms rapidly.
people have in regard to
it. Says A, I
prefer felling timber in winter for the rea
son the sap is out. Says B, 1 prefer fell
ing it in the spring tor the reason I was
taught so to do. Says C, I am governed by
the moon in felling my timber.
Philosophy and experience teach me to
say, as do some others, the editors of the
Country Gentleman included, that summer
is the best time to fell it. Location or dif
ferent kinds of timber will vary the time
some for felling it. The true philosophy is
to fell it when it is most free from sap ; and
that undoubtedly is immediately alter the
sap has gone to the surface of the tree and
formed itself into new wood, leaves, &c.
I am not one ol those, of whom there are
many, who believe that the sap of trees
leaves the body and goes down into the
roots in cold weather, thereby making
winter the best time to fell the timber.—
The fact that trees may be cut down in
winter and left till summer, and will then
peel as readily as if cut in summer, is ev
idence the sap does not leave the body in
•winter. For instance, again, look at the
pine log that has been cut in winter, and
see it disehaige its turpentine in summer,
which is nothing more nor Jess than the
gap of the tree.
Nature annually, and by degrees, sup
plies trees with sap for the formation of
new wood, See. As soon as the sap has
performed its office, nature immediately
commences supplying it again for another
year’s growth. So then, according to the
above philosophy, the longer a tree stands
after having formed its last growth of new
wood, &c., the more sap it contains ; con
sequently the more injurious to the timber
if cut for durability.
Because men have been taught to fell
timber in winter or to be governed by the
moon in foiling it, will not justify them in
saying they are correct in so doing. Ex
perimenting is the only true way to arrive
at facts.
I once knew a man who was so firm in
the belief that the moon in this respect had
an influence on timber, that he would, if
possible, have all tho trees he wanted for
lasting purposes felled on a certain day in
February, according to the moon. And
hands must be procured to perform the la
bour, according to the amount of timber he
wanted. He would afterwards have it
worked up when it was most convenient
to do so. Were all men so obstinate, the
timber question would never be reduced to
a science. '
In time past, it ivas the general opinion
of agricultural mei that wheat would turn
to chess, but thorough experimenting has
settled the fact conclusively, that sach is
not the case, and l$im inclined to believe
that thorough expIrin^Ktiug would also
settle the timber qnj^ion. and say that
summer is the cut it.
I will say in ei^rcpision, that I am busy
in farther expe^m^itiiig in this matter,
and will give tpe result of it hereafter if
desired. / ,G. P. SERVISS.

Baling Fodder.—We would suggest to
Southern planters the importance ol put

to transport it to our army at different
points, as well as to supply home demand.
The absence of Northern hay from our
markets will make it necessary to resort
to this as a substitute, which can be easily
done.

DOCS! BOGS!
Chattooga County, Georgia, 1
August- 1st, 1861. j
Editors of Southern Confederacy :
Dear Sir: The time has arrived when
the raising of vast numbers of sheep is a
matter of great importance to us. Can it
he done l It can, provided our legislature
will give tho necessary protection ; and
surely under the pressing exigencies of our
situation, it will, l’hat protection should
be the passing of a stringent dog law,
to tax every person five dollars for every
dog kept over one, and to make each man
pay at least three dollars for every sheep
killed by his dog, or dogs, to be collected
in Justices Courts as in common cases for
damages, and such dog, or dogs, if not pre
viously killed b^totho owner or others, to
be condemned said court and killed
forthwith.
This law \*4fndVelieve our country of
multitudes of^hese worthless animals, and
save all that it talces to raise and keep
them. Many families who are scarcely
able to keep a supply of bread for their
children keep f&>w two to four dogs. In
consequence ofwie high price ot wool,
they have tob&WTd in cotton during the
winter sa**if!^^j|breby subjecting them to
much suffering from cold, and causing ma
ny to be burned to death. The mountains
of Northern, th Add fields of Middle, and
the pine lands oftso^hern Georgia, could
soon be well with large flocks of
sheep, to suptBri^Lr families with warm
clothing for^Tntelf our tables with fine
mutton, aHn soon we could make wool
one of our exports, were it not for the
great nuinberJof worthless sheep-killing
dogs. I tbei^^U’espectfully solicit the
citizens-rtW^^^TOut Georgia to send up
large petitions h) our next legislature, ask
ing the passage of such a law for our pro
tection.
P. S. Editors
please copy.
CHATTOOGA,
are in favor ot this
ive place to the f«rcgo-
lng^MiVUUpe something will be done to
rid the country hf dogs. Besides their
sheep-killing habits, they are the most
worthless creatures on earth and do no
good commensurate with their expense.—
Why people will foolishly throw away
their hard earnings by feeding a snarling
cur, a yelping hound, or a pet poodle, we
cannot understand. We know some fami
l>es who are poor and are actually in want of
the prime necessities of life, yet keep dogs,
and feed them enough to supply many of
those prime necessities, while the dogs do
not benefit them to the amount of one cent.
We know rich families who keep large
Newfoundlands and poodles lor pets, and
Feed them with the dainties of the, land
enough to supply food for some poor chil
dren near by who are suffering for some
thing to eat—the dogs meanwhile not
worth a cent to their owuers or any one
else.
The bread and meat, milk and butter
that is fed to dogs, and the sheep that they
kill within the Confederate States, would
bountifully feed our whole, army aud pay
for its transportation to them, and supply
food to every poor soldiers’ family that is
left to be caied for by us, while not a par
ticle ol good is rendered by them to their
owners in return for all this waste. This
ought not to he so, and we hope a stop will
be put to it.—So. Confederacy.
Slanders, issuing from beautiful lips,
are like spiders crawling from the blush
ing heart of a rose.
To Make Vinegar and Pickles.—The
following suggestions will prove invaluable
to those who wish to make pickles or vin
egar for the volunteers:
Madison County, July 31, 1S61.
Editor Mississippian :—Permit me,
through your paper, to make a suggestion
to the ladies of Mississippi and others, who
are preparing stores and provisions for our
soldiers.
To make a healthy, grateful and cheap
pickle, good to prevent scurvy in those
who live on salt provisions, take an empty
whisky or molasses cask, do not wash it
unless dirty inside, fill up with firm, hard
peaches, not too ripe, gathered with the
hand without bruising, add two or three
dozen pods of red pepper and one quart
of salt, then pour on vinegar until the
cask is full, and head. This pickle will
keep well, and tho vinegar is finely flavor
ed—it does well to use in cookery or at ta
ble. For family use, any spices preferred
may be used in addition to the pepper and
salt. I have peaches over a year old, put
up in this way, which are as fair and good
as when put up.
I would say also to the ladies, dry all
the fruit you can, to send to the soldiers ;
also okra, split and dried in the shade, is
as good as flesh for soups aud stews,
and if boiled well is good with the
addition of pepper and vinegar as a veget
able, and will be a luxury to those in
camp who are fond of it.
Every Southern housekeeper may make
her own vinegar as I do, thus : Take
one head out of an empty molasses cask,
put in six gallons of molasses and fill
the cask three-quarters full with wa
ter ; add a bushel of ripe apples cut small,
or, if apples are scarce, save the peelings
and cores of the apples dried or used in
cookery, and as you get them, put in the
vinegar cask; also add all the skiinmings of
preserves and refuse of honey. If the
cask is not then full add more water. Cov
er it with the head to keep out dirt. In
two or three months you will have a good
cask of vinegar, which is to be strained
off and bunged up in a tight cask for use.
I have, every summer for thirteen years,
made my own vinegar in this manner, and
have always had good vinegar both for
pickling aud table use.
Saving Bacon.—A correspondent of the
Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate makes a sug
gestion to the planters of the Confederate
States, which it may be worth their while
to heed, in reference to the saving of ba
con. The gist of the matter is contained
in the following extract:
If our planters would refer to quota
tions, they will observe that molasses can
be had in New Orleans at 25 cents per gal
lon, and lice in Charleston at 3 cents per
pound. If they will all change their mode
of allowance and give2i pounds of meat, 2
pounds of rice, one quart of molasses, one
peck of meal, they will cosuine home pro
ductions, rice and molasses, to the partial
exclusion of foreign meat. Estimating the
number of full hands, at 1,500,000, you
will see that this plan, which gives two
and a half pounds of meat, instead of four
pounds per week, will diminish the con
sumption of bacon 2,250,000 pounds week
ly in the Southern Confederacy and the ne
groes would be much more healthy. It is
said that Typhoid lever is unknown where
molasses is freely used.
Barley for Pork Making.—At a Farm
ers’ Club in Illinois, reported in the Farm
ers’ Advocate, inquiry was made for expe
rience in feeding barley to hogs. One
member had fed it, but without comparison
with coru.as to value. “It made the best
sweet meat, and free from the oiliness so
common to corn-fed pork.’’ Another
thought barley double the value of corn
for fattening purposes. The inquirer said
his attention was called to it by the great
success of an eastern farmer in fattening
pigs on ground barley and milk, getting
three hundred pounds dressed weight, at
nine months old.
Virginia Salt.—We are glad to per
ceive Salt of old Dominion manufacture
in our market. It is of the very best qual
ity-, fine and white. We hope the manu
facture will be encouraged ami extended,
until it can be produced at a price as low
as the foreign article. Tims wo go. The
blockade is doing an immense amount of
good for the S.outli, and if continued long
enough, she v^i 11 become more independ
ent than a luyldfed victories like that at
Manassns„«flmil| make her.—Atlanta Com.
