FARMERS’ DEPARTMENT. c. A PEABODY. - - - Editor. \ 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. >rom the Laureutvilie (8. C.) Harald. 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. FABMEB'M hON«. . ST W. t.

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 Memphis & Louisville Railroed Company 8 shops, with five locomotives and seven cars, were burned at Memphis yesterday.

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. BOARD Os TRUSTEES. WM. H. YOUNG. G, GUNBY JORDAN. R. T. YOUNG, N J.
