The Vegetable Garden.
If the g»rdeu hue not already been
mnnured, plowed and spaded deep, it is
time uow to begin. Highly concentrated
f® l til Zero, like the pure guauoa, are not
always safe on a vegetable garden. The
excellence and superiority of moat of the
garden esculents over their originals, con
sists in their rapid growth and develop
ment ; hence, a fertilizer must be used
that will not only st mulate a rapid
growth, but preserve it in its maturity.
The best natural land about the home
stead should be selected for the vegetable
garden. No shade, fruit or ornamental
trees should be in or near the garden ;
the vegetables will need all the moisture
that the roots of a well established tree
will be sure to appropriate to itself, and
when a season of drouth prevails the tree
will still fluuriab, but the vegetables a ill
wilt, wither, and die. I have found
from a long experience that stable mi
uure is the very best fertilizer for a gar
den. Ide not say well rotted, for if the
manure is well rotted, one-half of its
value as a food for plants is gone. 1
have a pit under my stables where sun
shine or rain cannot enter. Into this pu
all the dropp of my stock is depesited,
and in the winter hauled on the vegetable
garden and spread evenly over tue sur
face to the depth of three or four inches,
and turned under as deep as a long spade
or a two horse turn plow can turn. The
decayu g manure immediately begins to
' evo.ve* ammonia, giving sustenance to
the yonng piaats, until they are able to
go deeper tor the wore solid food below
There Is much loss of labor and seeds ir.
trying to have an extra early garden.
We are never safe from frosts until aftei
the first of April, and it your fingers itct
to work in the gulden, plow and sprde
again and again, so that the soil may be
turned to the genial influences of the sun
•and aimcspheie, and when the ground has
become warm and the season safe, you
miy put in the seed with the certainty of
an abundant crop. I will endeavor to
advise you from week to week what to
plant, how to plant and cultivate; and it
my lady readers (the most practical" gar
deners of the South) will assist me wlih
their expeiieuce, will make this d-pari
'meutot the Enquibeb wor<h more to the
home folk than alt the sensational news ii
in ay contain.
Fish Breeding.
jWe have in our viciu.ty aa artificial
times the »iz® of the one de
scribed below,swarming with trou*, perch,
suckers and brem, and the enterprising
proprietor and projector has demonstrated
the fact that fresh fish can be raised
cheaper than pork or poubry. Every
farmer having a pure branch running
through bis lands may easily have a fi»h
pond. If they doubt it, call at William P.
Tonga's, Yongesboro, Loe county, Ala.,
and see the prettiest sight in Alabama.

FISH—THEIB CULTIVALIOK, ETO.
“Law*akts alive,” says some Mrs. Par
tington, “here’s a man tnat’s going to tell
us how to plant and raise fi-m in our gar
dens jest like other truck.” No, good
wo.ii-in. I Hball-uoUlell you all this, yet 1
“•"will tell ’irttadreds and- t&vuaunda of you
how to rait-e your own fiih. Cultivation
means something more than ploughing
harrowing and noeing, and may well be
applied io the raising oi fi-.h, and perhaps
I cannot better instruct you in this art
than by describing what I lately saw here
in South Carolina.
During my late visit to Sumter, I was
shown ail over the plantation of my
friend, Freeman Hoyt, E-q , and here 1
met with a perfect model of a domestic
fish pood Mr. Hoyt told me that the
little stream of wa.er running through his
place, was the main thing tnat sold him
the laud. Tne branch r.»n through a low
place of such a lorm as to enable mm, by
a dam of some fitly yards long, to con
struct' a pond of Too feet in length by 150
in width, with a depth varying from the
shores to 12 or 15 teet m the centre. This
gives bim a pond of over acres, where
be could raii-e nothing else. One year
ag > l ist, spring, be deposited in this pond
e gbt g *od-s zed trout and near three
hundred thousand eggs, with a large
amount of smaller-sized fish for the trou.
to teed npon, and be now has the water
literally swarming with the finny tribe.
His trout are now one year old, and I
aaught one white there that was over
seven inches. Mr. Hoyt will not catch
bis tiout until next year, and then I think
he will be almost ab.e to supply the town
of Sumtervilie with fDb. The water run
ning from bis dam passes through a sieve
—so that tbe fi.h cannot escape from the
pend. A little below the dam, is built a
small two-story h >use ; the lower story
for bathing, white in the upper one is
• kept all the apparatus necessary for culti
vating. feeding and taking the fid). All
thin i.oivemence bas been gotten up with
a trifling expense, and will lie for the fu
ture a large source of pleasure and profit
, to Air. H<>yt and his fami y, and a perfect
blessmg to t.is neighborhood. We Mi eat
too much flash in thia count y, and should
endeavor,to substitute for some of it,
more fistt- and fowl.
There are hundreds of places in this
State where just as good a pond as the
one I have t<>id of could be built, and the
owueis not only well supplied with good
fi'h right from the water, but they could
derive a good revenue from their neigh
bors by selling them the proceeds of Ibeir
pond. A learned doctor of England once
said, “that a long life m this world mere
ly learned a man bow to live.” I wonder
bow mmy lives it would take in South
Cai olios to ka n the people to live up to
the privileges that nature bas bestowed
upon them. Everything must succumb
to cotton, if we eat nothing but hog and
hominy. Will no other money paas but
wbat is made by cotton? and must the
country oe thus sacrificed ? Those that
have the means aud facilities must an
swer. H * * *
How to Kelp Hox-sts Fat ald in Con
ditio •. —“If I were asked to account for
my horses’ legs aud feet being <u better
order than ibose of my neighbors I
should attribute it to tbe four following
circumstance* : First, that they are a 1
shod with few nails, so placed in the shoe
as to permit the foot to expand every
time they move; secondly, that they all
live in boxes instead of stalls, and can
move whenever they please ; thirdly, that
they have two hours’ daily walking exer
cise when they are not at work; and
fourthly, that I have not n bead-stall or
rack-chain in my stable. The*e four cir
cumstances comprehend the whole mys
tery of keeping horses’ legs fine, and their
feet in sound working condition up to a
good old age.”— Miles.
—A gentleman has been thus described:
Whoever is open, loyal and true ; who
ever is of humane and affile demeanor;
whoever is honorable in himself, and in
his judgment of others, and requires no
law but his word to make bim fulfil an
engagement—snch a man is a gentleman.
And such may be found amongst the
tUlexa of the ground.

Discovery of New Farms.
Lawyers have kuowu for a loug time
that a landholder owned ever bo fat down
below tbe surface. But farmers never
seemed to that their deeds gav<-
Lem any right to more than about six
mooes of tbe Burtace. Nobody hardly
aas thought of looking deeper than that,
except the diggers of gold aud water. We
n«ve all beard oi the ciasßics being cover
ed all over by the prosy homilies of the
monks of the middle ages; in consequence
•if which generations have been content
svith the w comp«ratively worthless surface
parchments, in ignorance of the rich de
posits b nea’b. Our agiiculturistn have
had a similar experience, till now, when
he subsoil plow is revealing to them
treasures before unknown. Discoveries
iu tbs earth are keeping pace uow with
those of the sky, ana a new earth is open
d to tbe cultivation as a new heav«u is
to the astronomer. Tbe following con
versation at the Farmer'll Club, cut from
tbe Ne.U) Yorker, brings Home information
of nfcw>:
Dr. Underhill—l omitted speaking of
another great Hource ot phosphate of lime,
ltd that is one which some few tarmera
have hit upon. I mean that part of tbe
farm which lies six inches deep under tbe
■.urfaee. There, since the deluge, lies
uocisturbed the fertilizer, usually hard.
Roots of tbe grains and annuals cannot
penetrate it. There it is, and bas been
»cc mnlating for thousauda of years, in
soluble, except when roots apply tbern
>eives to it. Not one farmer in ten ever
Mows deeper than five inches. The roots
cannot get at tbe mine below—it is 100
hard. He cannot afford to buy guano or
none, but be can ass »rd a sub-soil plow.
Let him go d >wu fifteen inches into hia
good farm below, and he may have a new
farm good for fifteen years to come.
I never thought until this year that my
oose, sandy, gravelly land wanted sub
soiling 1 It is so very loose that I almost
wads in it. But, nevertheless, this year
I have Btib-soiled twelve or fourteen
inches deep, and my corn on that tillage
has given me a double crop. I found the
bottom of my very loose top soil hard
packed—the annual plants could not pnt
their roots through it. My double crop
has succeeded in spite of a pretty severe
drought. I have many years always
ploughed to the depth of from eight to
ten inches, but this season I have resorted
to the farm which lies under mine success
fully.
Don’t Kill the Small Birds—The
little painted songsters follow man and
attend npon bim. It is their mission to
clear his ground aud trees of insects,
which would otherwise destroy his f nit
and grain. What would the country be
without its birds ? Their innocent notes
Madden the ear, and their beautiful forms
and plumage delight the eye. A pair of
robins have been known to consume two
thousand caterpillars in one week ; and
what an amount of service to that farm
was that single week’s work 1 The farmer
who s'lOotH the sm»li birds that confiding
ly surronud his dwelling, errs both in
economy and benevolence. We speak not
of the hawk, which devours the chickens,
or of the king-bird, which swallows the
bees ; let bim nse his shot on them, if he
will. What if the songsters take tithe of
t|he ripened produce of field and garden ;
it is nothing but their due. They present
their biUs some months after the labor was
performed, and are fully entitled to their
living. Honesty in this, as well as in
other matters, is always the best policy ;
and it has invariably been found that the
farmer who encourages, instead of repels
tbe visits of these tiuy workmen, is more
than repaid for his forbearance.
Fertilizing Properties from the Aib.
—A quantity of ammonia and nitric acid,
equal perhaps on ao acre to one hundred
weight of guano, is annually brought down
to the Boil by the ram, for tbe benefit of
vege'ation. Let not the farmer, however,
deceive himself, and imagine that be may
induldge in idle repose, while nature is
’has keeping up the fertility of his lands.
But he may profit by this newly discover
ed bounty ot nature if he will take full
advauta’ge of the atmospheric manure by
means of drainage, which promotes the
equal fliw of water through instead of
over bis soil; by deep cultivation aud
thorough | ulvenzation of the land, which
brings every part of it iu contact with the
air. The atmosphere is to the farmer like
the sea to tbe fisherman—he who spreads
his nets the widest will catch the most.
The Abt of Gbowing Tbees fbom Cut
tings—Prof. Delacroix, of Besaucou, in
France, has discovered a mode of propa
gating from cuttings, which is not only
sue essful in case of roses and other
plants easy to live, but apples, pears,
plums, apricots, <tc. Ont of a hundred
cuttings put out in June, not one but was
thriving iu August iu the open air, with
out sh .do or extra care, except watering a
few times soon after they were planted.
His method is to put the whole cutting
iu tbe ground, bent in the form of a bow,
with the centre part up aud just on a level
with tbe surface, at .which point there
must be a good bud or shoot, which is the
only part exposed to the sir; the other
being protected by tbe earth from drying
up, supports and gives vigor to the bnd,
which starts directly into leaf, and in its
turn helps the cutting to form roots, and
tbe whole even forms a thriving tree
The method of setting them is to form
two drills about three inches apart, with a
sharp ridge between, over which bend the
cutting, and stick an end in each drill,
and cover up and press tbe earth firmly
and water freely. Cuttings should be of
the last year's growth, fresh and vigorous.

The following is published by Resolution of the Executive
Board of the Columbus Branch Southern Life Insurance Company:
Office of the Southern Life Insurance Co., )
. Columbus, Ga., January Ist, 1874. $
lo hia Citizens of Muscogee County and the Neighboring Counties of
Georgia and Alabama:
The first day of the New Year is usually the time when men
make good resolutions, with the earnest purpose of carrying them
out, and at this time tens of thousands of Southern men wh > see
their country growing poorer day by day and themselves becoming
impoverished, are resolving so to work and live as to add to their
own limited means, make their families secure from drtad want,
and by co-operation to hold and retain in the South the great
wealth which yearly flows away, leaving her weaker with each suc
cessive season. Our citizens are waking up to the question of
economy, and they know full well if they would stop the drain on
our resources they must sell more than they buy, and when they
pay out it must be to such men ami institutions as are associated
with our interest and who will keep the money thev receive here in
our midst to build up our waste places.
Every prudent.man, good husband and kind father, makes such
preparations while living as will enable his executors to pay his
debts and leave a balance sufficient to provide for his mother, wife
and little ones, and to do this no means are presented that ofter
such opportunities to the poor man as Life Insurance, for by pay
ing a small amount per annum he guarantees to the loved ones
dependent on him the means of keeping back want in case of his
death, Now there are many Southern men who have wisely
insured their lives, so many, indeed, that eight millions of dollars
are annually sent North from the impoverished South to pay poli
cies in Northern Companies. We have nothing to say against
these companies for the majority are good reliable corporations, but
the eight millions of dollars that yearly go North add so much
to the wealth of that powerful section, and by just that amount
withdraw capital that might bo used in Home Companies for the
development of the South, and our citizens who pay policies to
Northern Companies would be glad to get this money aud pay
a higher rate of interest. 1
The Southern Life Insurance Company, organized nearly eight
years ago by the best men in the South, appreciated the fact above
stated and resolved,by giving equal facilities and advantages to insur
ers to keep as much of this immense capital back as possible, and so
add to the wealth and working abilities of our country. This com
pany is and has been organizing branches in all the principal cities
of the South, and it purposes continuing this work till every section
of the South is represented, and every branch becomes a stock holder,
and every man insured mutually interested in the profits and suc
cess of this great corporation. We, the executive board, are well
known to the people of Columbus and vicinity, and we would not
and could not lend our means and influence to an enterprise in
which we had not the utmost faith; but we assume the position to
which we have been called confident that it will supply,one of the
many desired wants tending to build up our country, and make the
South neb and prosperous as heaven intended she should be.
Another good point about the Southern Life Insurance Company
is that it leaves in each place where it has a branch, the amount of
money paid in there by policy holders, and this amount is held
there for investment till called in to pay matured policies, thus
giving each place the actual advantages of a home company.
A contract has been entered into by us in order to secure the
advantages named, with Gen. John B. Gordon, President of the
Company, who has appointed a hoard of Trustees for this branch.
All the trustees are policy holders, and elect their own officers,
under rights guaranteed them hy thecharter of the company. • All
losses will be adjusted in the Columbus office, for risks taken bv
this branch, thus obviating the trouble and expense of collecting at
remote points.
Parties holding policies in Northern Companies can have them
transferred without risk or loss, and thus save so much each year to
the capital of the South.
We believe the Southern Life Insurance Company to be a great
desideratum. We have faith in its strength, durability, and in
tegrity; and recommend it in all faith to our people of every
degree of wealth. Every man should insure, and when he decides
to do this, let him do it in a home company.
All information desired will be furnished from this office, and
from our hearts we wish this great undertaking God speed.

THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN
Is the only thoroughly independent paper'South. It be
lieves we are to win ; not by complaining about the past,
but working for the future. While it gives proper space
and’ notice to all political matters of State and National
importance, it aims to call the attention of emigrants and
capitalists to our great resources, and so build up the South
on a basis that has for its foundation industry and econo
my. While disclaiming to be the organ of any creed, par
ty. or society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEM
PERANCE, MORALITY ‘and RELIGION. Being
deeply interested in the success of the farmers, and having
implicit faith in the grand DESTIIn YOF THE GRAN- ,
GES, the ENQUIRER-SUN will devote a large space,
under a capable editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chron
icling the movements of the Patrons of Husbandry.
THE DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN
Will contain all the latest National, State, Local and For- '

editorial management will be fearless for right, and while
recording passing events it will not neglect the arts, scien
ces and the advancement in the world’s material progress.
