T.dU rfrom Col F. Fontaine, of Hano
ver, la., 1 'resident Virginia Central
Railroad.
Knvroks SItVTHERN Cultivator: —
Yrtur tetter of the 31et ultimo is re
ceived, in which you request ine to
givejiotJ “n lull noerffint of the Diet bod
practiced in Virginia of renovuting
tlge uW lutidfi liy mar.ing mid sowing
jieas end ploughing in for v heat,” with
several other inquiries ns to do'nits,
taming them the fixture of the plough
for coveting the pen vines.
The quantity of marl proper for the
first application to the acre depends on
the r.fceporjii u ol lime exis ing in it.—
FiftyouUiele of lime is if good dress
ing, which inigl tbe greater if there
■Utm much vegetable matter either be
longing to the or applied with
the marl. The attention is repeated ■
in a few years with good cflect It is
thought best not to plough it under
Lift to*spread it on the surface and let!
it be worked in by Cultivation. If
scattered somo'iine before cul ivrtion, 1
the action of the atmosphere would
riafese a more thorough pulverization,!
but it answers veiy well to apply at
tha time of seeding.
?am not advised that nnv particu
lar kind of pea is recommended for
this purpose, as when sown thick
enough, any kind will afford a large
quantity of matter for turning in ; but
a black variety, known among us as
the “cow pea,” procured extensively
from North Carolina, is used by many
farmers.
The month of May, or the first of
June, t 6 early enough to sow them, as
the pea grows rapiJly. They should
not La ploughed under in the green
state, but allowed to attain nearly to
rtiaturity, as they decompose very rap
idly, even if thcetalk has become par
tially iMJprite pulse is more valuable
when t^e.
To cover effectually any growth of
vegetable matter with a plow, a chain
should be attached to the beam by a
hook a little in advance efihe point
where the mould Is lustefiod to the
beam, and confined to the outside ban
die whether it be a right or left hand
plough, just above tie mould board,
the chain being long enough to hold
down the weeds or peas; the amount
of play for the chain is easily deter
mined by observation of ife effget, and
the weight will depend on the strength
and quantity of straw to be covered.
Additional weight may be given to
the chain, if necessary, by a ball or
other attachment at the point of drag
ging in the furrow.
The number of horses used in plow
ing, or the depth of the work, should
be determined by the farmer as ;d any
other case, according to the quality
of the subsoil. My own opinion is
that very deep plowing is not desira
ble for wheat, as the sustaining roots
are near the surface. The furrow
sliee should boos sufficient thickness
to cover the peas, avoiding turning up
a caput mortuum.
I consider a good growth of peas
fnllv equal to a heavy cover of clover,
if not better. Ono to one and aha f
bushels of j eas, according to the size
of the berry, will be required to give a
good crop for turning in. I l,ave
found one hundred pounds guano,
ploughed in wjtb the peus, a profitable
More would, of course,
be better.
Very truly yours, &c.,
E* FONTAINE.
From the Bainbridge Argus.
The Utility of Irish t'olaloeiiu
Raising Hogs.
In a former communication, it was
stated that five hundred bushels of
Irish Potatoes can be produced on an
acre of land. It was also stated that
a good plan is to lay off the land three
leet each way and plant one and two
cuttings in each check having the land
well manured and plowed very deep.
It is well known to all farmers in Geor
gia, that one fourth of a bushel ol
corn is equal to one bushel of potatoes
in allowancing negroes during slavery.
It is also known to every pract cal far
mer that au acre of land which will
make five hundred bushels of potatoes
will not make more than forty bush
els of corn. Now multiply forty by
four and %’ou have an equivalent in
eorn equal to one hundred and sivty
bushels of potatoes. The advantage
then of planting the jiotato instead ol
corn for hog raising is equal to three
hundred and lorty but hels of potatoes
But the objector will «ay hogs will
not eat Irish Potatoes, and ns to cook
ing potafoes for hogs, that is too much
trouble. When irish potatoes are cook
ed with turnips and vegetables of any
kind and seasoned with salt, hogs are
very fond of them, and it make a nour
ishing and delightful .fieri for bogs.—
Without feat of contradiction, one
acre of Irish potatoes treated accord
ing to to tho above plan will raise two
thousand pounds ol' fine }*>rk with a
Vcrv sfntil allow ance of corn or any
other kind of feed. How much bet
ter would it be, instead of farmers
raising a large pack of sheep-tilling
dogs, to use the ki’cheu slops &e aod
cook the same with the Irish potatoes
to raise hogs.
llow much better off would farmers
be now to have two or three hogs
heads of nicely cured bacon than a
pack of contemp'ible curs! Oh, that
the people of the down trodden South
could once more breathe easily ! Wo
long and pray for the day to come,
when we shall be allowed to live un
der laws and regulations of our own
insti'utions; then we shall assess such
a tax on dogs as will destroy this hate
ful and hurtful pack of con’ sniptibin,
long tail, gtiant .pack of curs, and in
their placet!, have large stocks of hogs
and lovely sheep
Farmers, in twelve months to come,
if you would only resolve to do so, can
have sheep and hogs in the place of use
Jess dogs. H. li.
