How dear to my heart are the scenes of my child
hood,
When the fond recollection recalls them to view,
The orchard and meadow, the deep-tangled wild
wood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew.
The wide-spreading pond, aud the mill which
stood by it.
The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell,
oot of iny fathers, and the dairy house nigh it,
And e’en the rude bucket which hung in the
well;
The old oaken bucket,
The iron bound bucket,
The moss covered bucket which hung in the
well.
The moss cover’d vessel I hailed as a treasure,
For often at noon when return’d from the field,
I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure,
The purest and sweetest which nature can
yield.
How ardent I seiz’d it with hands that were glow
in?, *
And quick to the white pebbled bottom it f, II;
But soon with the emblem of truth overflowing.
And dripping with coolness it rose from the well,
The old oaken bucket,
The iron bound bucket, ,
Tht moss cover'd bucket arose from the wt 11. 1 t
How sweet from the green mossy brim to receive it, (
As poised on the curb it inclined to mv lips ; ,
Net a full blushing goblet would tempt me tc ,
leave it.
Though filled with the nectar that Jupiter sips, i
And now far removed from the loved situation, 1
The tears of regret will instinctively swell, :
As fancy reverts to my former plantation, (
I sigh for the. bucket that hangs in the well. <

ADDRESS,
Delivered beforeihe Puinarn Agricultural So
ciety., at their meeting on the 3d Monday
in August, by the lion. C. B. Strong, Pres
ident.
Whilst others are indulging in politicks,
and engaged in all the rancour of party an
imosity, ours is the pleading task to assem
ble for the peaceful and useful purpose of
promoting and improving the chief of arts.
An art which combines theory with useful
practice, in the success and advancement
of which, every order and class of our com
munities is intrinsically interested, nod to
which cur beloved country is fundamental
ly indebted for its power and impor
tance in the community of nations—the art .
of Agriculture. The practice of this no-j
ble art, is as compatible with our pecuniary
interest, as it is pleasing and salutary io its
effects upon the mind, whilst it elevates
our thoughts, and fixes them cpon the au
thor of nature, and source of happiness;
it affords that degree es exercise, which is ■
the best preventive of disease and preserv
ative ofhealth. It requires no hurtful de
gree of fatigue on the one hand, “ nor in
dulges indolence on the other, still more
hurtful.” A judicious farmer will so mi
nutely observe all the various changes of
the seasons and processes of nature —all
the diversified modes of culture, as never
to suffer his mind to languish, but daily ac
cumulate more and more knowledge. Os
all occupation?, Agriculture is the most con
sonant to our nature, the most productive
of contentment, ease and innocence, and
the most certain source of temporal happi
ness. The immortal Washington has saiJ,
“ the task of working improvement on the
earth, is much more delightful to an unde
bauched mimi, than all the vain glory
which can be acquired from ravaging it, by
the most uninterrupted career of con
quests.” But why need 1 dwoll on the w.i
fulnessand importance of an art. which the
experience and observations of the most
enlightened ages, render no longer -ques
tionolde. _
Rvmvrei
In toy flbevions communications, I have
endeavourfd to develope our views and ob
ject?. 1 have urged the necessity of deep
horizontal ploughing, and the propriety of
using our-best efforts to collect and pre
serve manure, the proper lime aud mode
ofdistributing it, and the utility and practi
cability of establishing meadows, as well
as cultivating many of the artificial pe
rennial grasses—have pointed out those
which likely to succeed best
in fcrtilizin^our I 'fields and proving most
beneficial to our stock—have recommend
ed a due attention to the selection and pres
ervation of the best seed of every plant
we cultivate, and the improvement of all
the useful kinds of animals, by procuring
the best breeds, and properly attending to
judicious crosses. - t have likewise given
you my theory of the probable cause-and
cure of the got in cotton. These form the
outlines of what has been heretofore dis
cussed. If 1 should occasionally travel
back, sgd expatiate on the same topicks,
you will please to pardon the repetition, for
indeed they are subjects which admit of.
such a wide range of thought and practice, I
aDd are of such vast iraportstnee to agricul
ture, that they would require more than
the life of an antideluvian to exhaust them.
But before 1 advance further, permit me
to remark, that whatever subject is advan-
| ceti, that ha* the appearance of* novelty,
j however ancient it may actually be in Iheo
• ry and practice, and bow rational soever
the principles upon which it rests; yet it is
1 with extreme difficulty that the prejudices
L in favour of boßry practice can be remov
| ed. The frequent failure of new designs,
1 proceeding upon imperfect theories or de
: fective experiments, strengthens the argu
> meats of opposition, and seems to justify
those who are disposed to persist in the
habits and inveterate prejudices of past gen
erations.”*
But 1 thank our all-bountiful Creator,
that our lines havefallen in pleasant places ,
and that tee indeed have a goodly heritage. —
Under the mildest and most rational form
of government under the sun, and in one of
the most fertile sections of our !>eloved
country, the human mind is rapidly shaking
off the rust of antiquity, and advancing to
the limits of human perfection.
It is hot then, a subject of surprise that
our farmers should see and acknowledge a
close connexion between chemistry and ag
riculture, and the improvement of the lat
ter depends upon a judicious practical ap
plication of many of the principles of the
former. This branch of natural philoso
phy is so eminently conducive to the pro
motion and improvement of agriculture,
that it ought to he the duty of every farmer
as well as his pleasure, to become more or
less acquainted with it.
But 1 come to the more immediate and
practical objects of communication.
The present season of the year invites a
renewal of the subject of seed. Good seed,
whether of corn, w heat, cotton, or any
other plant of the vegetable kingdom which
we cullivate lor food or raiment for man,
or food for those beasts which are useful to
our species, are of primary importance. —
il Seed is the embryo contained in the fruit
of vegetables.” “It is that part of a plant
which comprises the rudiments of anew
production'’ of its kind. These organized
particles are called the germ or bud, (as
was remarked to you last year) and is the
whole future plant in miniature. The bal
ance of the seed forms the covering, and
contains oil, the first nutriment which the
embryo plant receives. This sustains and
supports the plant until it is sufficiently ad
vanced to derive support through it? roots
below, and from the atmosphere through j
the organs of its stem and leaves above. j
Iti? obvious from this description of seed I
that the larger and more fully perfected!
the seed are, which you select and sow or j
plant, the larger will be your embryo j
plants, [f carefully selected,'preserved i
and planted or sowed, the plant or vine j
will come up bold and vigorous, and stand a j
good chance to overcome all obstacles, and I
attain speedy and high perfection. Success j
in farming will be increased, by due care in
the selection of grain, seed and roots, from 1
those which have attained the greatest de-j
gree of perfection, on the best and most i
healthy plants. The farmer should go in- J
to his cornfields, and gather for this pur- j
pose, the best ears from the most produc- j
tive stalks, and preserve them in the shuck
free from wet, but accessible to the air, for j
a certain degree of air is as necessary to |
the preservation of vegetable as of animal!
life. When planting time arrives, he should j
shuck the ears thus preserved, shell off one J
third at least from the little end, and all of
the round grains off the large end, aud after
rejecting all faulty grain*, reserve the re
mainder to plant. A steady perseverance
in this course will, in a few years, amply
reward his care and industry, by an'in
crease in the size and number of the ears
produced from a given quantity of ground.
The time is fa*t approaching, when we
shall have to select and put away cotton
seed for our future crops. The rot has
again made its appearance. After the
most diligent inquiry and thorough conside
ration of all that has been published upon
this mysterious disease as cotton, I a*i fully
persuaded that proper choice of seed from
the most healthy and vigorous plants, and
largest and best attired bolls, will form
the best preventive. Some persons are
anxious to save the seed of the very first
cotton that opens. Ido not approve of
that plan,’ because those bolls are usually
premature and small. 1 would therefore
discard the very first bolls that open, and
select seed from those only that arrive at
the greatest perfection in point of size and
soundness, from the last of August until
frost rarpful Ivrif]4 cKauM
for this express purpose, and the cotton
which they gather should be sunned, kept
separate, and when ginned the seed should
be carefully kept dry in some convenient

place, where they should never be suffered ,
to lie more, than a foot in depth. A few
planters within my knowledge have been
in the habit of carefully selecting and pre
serving their-seed, and the most minute
and faithful observation, has convinced my
mind beyond a doubt, that their crops are
more productive and less subject to rot. —
The same rules should be obse.rved in re
gard to the selection and preservation of
every other description of useful seed.—
Due attention in this section of the country
is not paid to a proper rotation of crops.—
An able practical writer on this subject, to
whom the world is much indebted for the
diffusion of agricultural knowledge, has
observed that “ no branch of husbandry re
quires more skill and sagacity than a prop
er rotation of crops, so as to keep the
ground always in heart, and yet to draw out
of it the greatest profit possible. A horse
is purchased for labour ; and it is the pur
chaser’s intention to make the most of him.
Me is well fed, and wrought according to
his strength ; to overwork him is to render
’ him useless. Precisely similar island. —
I Profit is the farmer’s object ; but he knows
that to rnn out his farm by indiscreet crop
ping, is not the way to make profit. Some
plants rob the soil, others are gentle to it;
* Fulton.
Jsoine bind, others loosen. The nic point
is, to intermix crops so sto make Ihe grent
■ est profit consistently wM 80,1
io order.”*
The course of rotation proper to be
adopted in this state, where cotton is so ex
tensively cultivated, roust necessarily differ
from that practised in the middle or eastern
states. 1 must candidly acknowledge that I
have oot fully made up my mind upon this
branch of agriculture. My present object
is to draw the attention of the members ot
this society to the investigation ot this im
portant subject, that proper experiments
may be made mid their results reported.
I will, however, just offer my present
impression* thereon. New grounds should
first be planted in Indian corn and peas
or sowed in turnips, corn and peas again the
second year, then cotton for two years in
succession ; then corn; then sowed in wheat;
then the ground should remain enclosed,
ungrazed, and rest for one year. The first
and second fall thereafter (about frost) it
should be turned over with a deep mould
board plough, and the two succeedingyears
planted again in cotton, then corn, then
small grain, and again rest with similar ’
the same ploughings and soon, constantly
bearing in mind that close grazing injures
the land more than judicious cultivate n.—
When laud is what is called half worn, it
should be planted in corn, upon the level
ling plan, then sowed tu small grain, then
rest for one year, and alter proper fall or
winter ploughings, it will bear a crep ot
cotton. Peas should never be intermixed
with corn, when wheat is intended as the
succeeding crop ; unless the farmer will
spare time and labour to bury the vines and
stalks in the centre furrow of the rows or
lands ; for otherwise they w ill be much in
the way. If land is very much exhausted,
the spots most worn at least should be ma
nured, and it should not be cultivated more
than one year in three until it is resuscita
ted. Cotton is a cleansing crop,pulverizes
aud prepares ground for any thing else,
particularly for the growth of the perenni
a’ grasses which me great fertilizers.
But whatever crop is cultivated, or course of
rotation pursued, the ground should before it is
planted be prepared by deep horizontal ploughing.
For if the natural stratum of soil is not sufficiently
deep, it should be made so by art, to give free |
I course to the roots and retain moisture for their
nourishment. The advantages of deep ploughing
i are manifold. In the first pjace the roots extend ,
j far when they meet no resistance, and the growth
j above the surface corresponds to that bc-low. ;
j Roots cramped in shallow soil are dwarfish, and
j consequently so is the tree or plant above ; the
i deeper the soil and the better the ground is pui
| verized, the better enabled will the growing crop ,
be, to resist the attacks of an unkindly season.
| Deep soil affords not only space for the roots to
j range in, but holds a due proportion of water for
j nourishing the plant. If more rain falls than is
i usual, it sinks more freely ; and if your ground is
S laid off horizontally, when it is saturated and the ,
! water furrows are filled, the whole row being upon
; a level, the surplus water will pass off at the ends
jof the rows without injury. Thus the sail and a
j sufficient store of water is retained without injury
ito the crop, and it is prepared for drought; Where
j as excess of moisture or drought are equally inci- j
dent to shallow ploughed land. Water will not
! readily penetrate a stiff, cloggy soil. Frequent
j deep ploughing in the winter will lighten such
I soil, especially if the substratum is sandy. 1 .oose,
j porous soil will not retain sufficient moisture:
! clay i9 the best manure to such land, and when
j the substratum is clay, deep ploughing will inter
j mix it with the soil, and form a proper texture.
Ploughing keeps the soil loose for roots to take
! their natural range and open, admitting air, dew
and rain. Dew, in particular, which /ails in
plenty in this climate, and has a fertilizing quali
ty, when most wanted, is lost upon hard soil, be- ,
mg exhaled by the action of the sun ; but it sinks
deep in loose soil, and is sheltered from the sun’s
power, or it will be perceived (bat the advantages |
of ceep ploughing are manifest By practising J
this improvement then, you will deepen your soil, j
and enhance the product of your crops.
1 speak from experience, drawn from actual
and repeated practice. Permit me, gentlemen,
to detail the result of one experiment. 1 plough
ed a thirty acre field which was nearly worn out, i
with Freeborn’s patent plough, very deep, and 1
then had the drills laid off horizontally, ridged
and planted in corn. 1 intended that the rows 1
should have been full six feet apart; but in this 1
my instructions were not followed, and they ap
proached within five feet of each other. The
stalks of corn were left about eighteen inches in
the drill. It was ploughed twice only, and slight
ly hoed the same number of times.
Notwithstanding the heavy rains Which have
fallen this season, the ground has remained light,
and there are but three breaks or washes in the ,
whole field,which deserve notice ; and even there
more soil has not passed away, than would have
gone off along three rows, had it been laid off upon
the usual transverse plan.
Had it been laid off accurately, I am persuad
ed there would not have been a single break;
*hat the whole surface and every thing there
on would traix. retained ; indeed, a t“i
the very bloom ann ( asPe ], a nd sedi
ment ct the earth, !>- •■ r . ....... of
this uneven field has been retained.
UH9 uucvni nein nus oeeii ictamcu.
The crop is abundant, and I am Confident would
have been proportionally more so, if the season
had been moderately dry. The hasty showers
which usually fall in this climate in June, July
and August, are retained and penetrate to the
root*, whereas, if it were laid off and planted in
rows each way, a considerable portion of the rain
would run off, affording but little benefit to the
crop, and much injury by washing to the soil, but
as it is, both rain and soil are retained.
Having tested this improved mode of culture,
hy actual and successful experiment, myself, and
witnessed its beneficial effects upon the planta
tions of others, I do most earnestly recommend its
practice to tvery member of this society and this
community.
The process of laying off a field is not so diffi
cult nor tedious as one would suppose, and when
accomplished it is a permanent advantage:! for,
if the succeeding year, you want to plant it again
in corn or sow it in wheat, you have only to open
your water or oentre furrow, and reverse your
beds or ridges by lapping them upon those fur
rows, and thus you save the time and labour of
checking and ridging; fat when your field is once
broken np, it is ridged ready for planting. All
this should he effected in the fall or early in the
winter, with a large deepmouldboard plough, and
then, unless the soil is very stiff, it will remain
through the spring and summer loose and ductile,
and require but slight culture. The breadth of
the rows should be from six to eight feet apart,
according to the depth and fertility of the soil,
and the corn left from eighteen ihohes to two feet

•part, in the drill t and if you deunto change
vour crop and plant cotton, you may then equal
ly divide your rows, and that will give you a pro
per distance. If it is j cftir wish to sow it in small
train, all yon have to do when it i thus broken
up is to sow the grain and harrow it, taking cure
to leave the ridges as high as possible, to prevent
it from washing, so that time and labour is event
ually eared, the soil manured and preserved and
the product increased. The levelling, horizontal
mode of cropping, goes hand in hand with the
proper system of rotation. It is equally consistent
with the enclosing plan, aud absolutely nacessary
(on broken land) to the manuring system! be
cause by opening the water furrow, you form a
groove in which the sthlks, vines and other litter
of the preceding crop, and manures collected from
elsewhere, may be deposited, and by lapping the
whole row or bed back upon that furrow, the ma
nure is completely covered and protected from
evaporation, or the washing of heavy rains. I
conceive it therefore the foundation upon which,
in a hilly country, agricultural improvement
must be principally built.
Thus far, gentlemen, I have avoided theory
that is not immediately connected with practice.
We will ill some future communication endeavour
to shew the use of Chemistry to illustrate agricul
tural principles. But all we write or say upon
this interesting subject “ should be subjected to
the touchstone of experience.” We should there
foie content ourselves with gradual advances in
knowledge, until by proper theories aud sagacious
experiments, we are enabled tort solve all into
satisfactory, clear principles, and adopt the most
advantageous agricultural system.

Religious Intelligence. —A Camp Meeting com
menced in the vicinity of this place on Wednes
day the 29th ult. and closed early on Monday
following. The weather for the two last days
proved exceedingly unfavourable ; notwithstand
ing its inclemency, the meeting was numerously
attended, especially on Saturday and Sunday.
The Rev. Win. Compton, (Elder) presided, as
sisted by 10 or 15 Ministers. Great exertions
were made to advance the interest of the Re- j
deemev’s kingdom, and we understand that upon
this occasion, about 35 persons professed to be
the happy subjects of saving grace.
We further learn, that a Camp Meeting lately
held in Orange County, near Hillsborough, the
pious labours of the attending ministers were
abundantly blessed in turning many to righteous
ness.
The Camp Meeting on Tangier Island. —We •
learn (saj9 the Norfolk Beacon of Aug. 23,);
from a gentleman who attended the Camp Meet
ing on Tangier Island, which commenced on the
17th inst. and closed on Tuesday morning last,
at 8 o’clock, that it was more numerously at
tended than any preceding it at the same place,
i The number of persons present was estimated at
between five and six thousand; the number of
Preachers not as muny E 9 on former occasions;
but a great number were added to the followers
of the Lamb. The decked vessels in harbour was
judged tp be about two hundred, besides 210
open boats. The encampment consisted of 264
Tents, occupying an area of between 4 and 500
yards. The utmost harmony and brotherly love
prevailed among the members of the church, and
caused much regret that this season of refresh
ment was so short lived.
