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.
