AKMCII/l'l Rile From the Southern Agriculturist. On the Beat Mode of applying Cotton Seed and Stable Manure ; by A FKACTJCAL PLANTER. Near Mo. Vintage, P. O. Edgefield, hi. C. 23d February, 1831. Mr. Editor. —There is perhaps no sub ject in which there is so great a diversity of opinion as that of Agriculture, and it is a titisiVKufle, that treatises on it, are so much at variance. • This may in a great measure be attributed to theoretical speculations, and mi niatured practical -experiments. One w riter will state, that cotton seed manure is best ap plied in one way, another will give quite con trary advice, and botfesay they have succeed ed, still there is an inquiry about the' best’ ! mode of application. One planter will till you, that the best way to clear, and prepare new land, is to grub the wnrfer-grojvth, and burn oil'the leaves, considering the roots Will act better as a manure than the leaves ; still this remains unsettled ns regards the utility. One will pursue horizontal culture’in a hil ly country, another advise it tg be done diagonally,a'third perseveres in the old plan of the up anti down hill system ; ask them nil and they will tejl you their way is best. Ain the sea-board of the lower country, where na ture has provided an*inexhaustible source of 'marine manure, which has been brought into sufficient use to test the best mode of prepa ration and application, the same difficulty ap* pears to exist; that this should be the case, where is such.au abundance of labor, combi ned with wealth and science, is astonishing. Some excuse may be offered for the up-coun try planters, who require all their force to be applied to a specific object to gain a sup port, leaving them no supernumerary moans I to carry fully into effect, those experiments,! that would otherwise .ultimately benefit them. | I have been Jed to these remarks, from the productions in your volumes, as well as other periodicals on the same subject. The great object, it appears tp me, is to arrive at a sys tem of husbandry in the application of the means that is afforded us on the most econo mical plain benefit does agriculture derive from the exhibition of an extraordinary large potatee or turnip, or a single acre of corn producing eighty or a hundred bushels, whi n the means applied for these produc tions cost more than their value. Let us ex hibit the returns of a whole crop, and the mode adopted to give these returns and not merely partial attempts to gain a reputation : this should be our guide -by which the ag ricultural interest would be advanced, and in strucrion afforded to the planter : it will act as a stimulus to imitation, arid will no doubt be attended with beneficial result. As far as my experience go. s, l would re commend the application of cotton seed as a manure to corn ; after the vegitatie;; quality is destroyed, to be puPto the corn when from six to twelve inches high, according to the time that can be appropriated to this work, by digging with a hoe on each side of the corn, sufficiently deep t<# admit of a large handful or more to be put in ear i ho c, and sidficiently covered over to prevent evapora tion from the sun. Fresh cotton seed should never be used,be cause the greater parf will sprout, and the manuring quality will be destroyed, it is only' l the oil which this kind of manure possesses, that makes it so valuable, besides when it comes up in a great mass it opens the earth about the plant, so as toadmitfcir which dries the earth about its roots. Fresh cotton seed caji, however be soon prepared for use. Have it carried out in the fields, and placed in piles at convenient distances, make these piles pretty large, and have the tops of them made concave, and through the centre drive a stake into the earth, and in the absence of rain have pails of water frequently thrown in, this mois ture, with the sun acting on it, will in a short time heat the seed: if it is perceived, that the circumference of those piles do not become heated in time, open them and throw the out er part into the centre. 1 have applied it so hot to the corn, that it was difficult to handle it. As we are now on the subject of manure. 1 would further observe, that in my view, the best mode of applying stable, cow-pen, or oth er manures, is broad cast, and immediately to plough it in, but as we arc net furnished with a sufficient quantity to do this to any extent, the drill mode is to be recommended ; this should be done by making a furrow about a foot deep, in which scatter the manure and cover it over flush, the holes or furrows made for planting, will be above the manure, but the roots of the plant will soon reach it. ’The hoe is to be pri .ft rred in Case a drill is made for planting, for the horses destroy the bed too ranch in the operation, the covering may be doqc with hand rakes, which leaves a smooth top on the beds, taking all the stalks and trash that may Have thrown on it by the plough, and. tv ill in domo measure separate the seqd without drawing them otlt, as it is passed lightly over the beds. We cannot ex pect that manure will act every year alike, all depends upon the seasons, it has been found, that stable manure particularly, in an extreme dry season, has proven injurious, from what is called fircing the corn, and in floods of rain it ts said, that it has been Car ried beyond the reach of the plant in the bow els of the earth. Renee may have arisen the diversity of opinion as regards manuring, to which l have allutled from the want of obser vation, which only can constitute the suc cessful farmer. The fact is incontrovertible/ that if it was not For manure, and good tillage, the Europe an countries Would long since have .been de populated. A PRACTICAL PLANTER. ~ J ' The crier in a certqynTourt, while happing in court, was recently aroused by a clap of thunder, starting upon his feet, bawled out, ‘silence,’ to the infinite diversion of all present. [This is not so bad as what happened to a man the other day, who fell asleep in church. He fancied himself playing nine pins, and in the middle of the sermon broke out with the ifcclamation,‘all down by the hokey !] A son of Neptune said the other day to a ; brother tar, ‘Jack, you never caught me in a lie in’your life.’—-‘Very true,’ replied Jack, ‘but and n you, I have chased you from one lie all day. . w From the N.

The man soon! descried the cause of the mischief, still lurk ing among the weeds ; but instead of striking the blow, h< merely gave a whew-whistle,and •returned to the house. “Have you killed him?” asked the wound ed man. “ Killed him ! why, you fool you, the rat tleenake is nothing but a poor old setting hen that had made her nest among the weeds,and merely pecked vour foot to keep you from treauing on her.” ‘The devil she did !” exclaimed the man with the swollen foot, leaping up two feet high, “then ’twas no rattlesnake after all, hey? Oh, Lord, that ever an oil! setting hen should put me in such a fright. But I am perfeetly well now—-my foot swelled a bit—the old setting hen, hey? Hot.—-hoo—hoo—But d—— n her !

By gauly I'll j lam him to steal three yards sattinet ana my ! all-wool shift and two razors. After obtain ing a warrant, he started in pursuit of a Con stable, having ascertained from the Judge that he did not act in that capacity, and the last that was seen of him he was seen heading down Court street, at a rate that would en danger the life of any thing composed of flesh and blood w ith which he might happen to some in contact. — Portland Courier. From Badger's Weekly Messenger, SHORT LECTURES ON HEALTH NO. 1 By the term health, is ordinarily under stood, that state of the body in which every organ performs its appropriate functions, with out pain, or inconvenience. This may bo considered the low est definition of the term health, and yet, without extending it, we shall find from observation on ourselves and oth ers, that health is the most scarce commodity in creation. If we make the inquiry of our friends and neighbors, or of evey man and ! w oman wo meet in our intercourse with so- I ciefy; we shall not find one, who will declare i unequivocally that he or she is Well. They | have all taken cold, or have a headache, or ! weak eyes, or pains in the. limbs . or have the dyspepsia or some other fashionable or un fashionable disease. The fact then, that ci ther real or imaginary disease is almost uni versal cannot be questioned, unless we admit that veracity lias loft the world, for every bo dy is sick according to their own testimony. V,’hence then the cause of tlxis universal absence of health. It is not because this •, blessing is not desirable, for every body is in j pursuit of it. Almost every bedy young and , old, male and female is found travelling be*! cause are “out of health.” Millions oi dollars are expended not only open the Fac ulty, whose professional education fit them to preserve and restore health; but millions more upon those empirical charlatans, who specu late upon health and life at haphazard. A multitude of -our population are employed more than half the days of their" earthly pil grimage, in following bard after health. They compass sea and land,,visit watering places, far and near, ride-and sail under every possi e?e modification .“they alternately • cat and starve; drink and famish for thirst; plunge in cold and hot water, salt and lresh; journey to the North and South/East and West; take ad vice and physic, drink rum and lose blood, and all these and a thousand other means arc employed in pursuit o'health, without Cver overtaking it. True they are getting better and better all the time, until they die- and if may be remarked that*thosq*w ho follow the chase aftet health, most zealously and rapidly are the most unsuccessful; having mere when they commence the pursuit, after ward; although they think themselves better just before they end their lace in the grave than (Tver before.

Let ii not be supposed, froth thrs at I less narrative ofsimple truth, that the want of health, is imaginary in the gVif-, ferers, for nothing tan be more real.

They cannot think the publishers of tb journal spoken of so deficient in respect to a pub lie dpon whom they depend for support, a a to charge that public with a gross want of per ception, and an inability to discriminate in mat ters of literary judgement. The publishers of The Lady’s Bouk know that the minds of som* men are so unVapily framed that they cannot en dure successful competition in those pursuits u which they may happen to be engaged; and Ar> further know that those who are e nvious ofsiipt’. rior desert are frequently prompted to the indul gence of a malicious spirit; but they will not wil lingly believe that the conductors of the journal to which they have had allusion eughtto be ides tifiedwith either of these-etasees. On the con trary, they are satisfied that the amiiigudus cen sures tlius spread before the public are intended to be applied to some publication whose want of merit rendered it obnoxious to such condemns tion. The Publishers of The Lady’s Book have ob served that Several monthly periodicals have no! only imitated the general arrangement of their work, but have-also attempted to follow their ex ample in illustrating the Fashions. This tacit acknowledgement of the superiority of their plan is certainly gratifying,.and they recognize it with ‘pleasure; but at the same time they cannot for bear saying that as they were’ the first to intro duce successfully this particular Speofos of embel lishment, so they can it in a formo: greater perfection than it tan readily be acconi plishod-by others. 'They do ifot makß this remark invidiously, but as'an act ot simple justice tc themselves, and the artists employed under their directions., In concluding this card the publishers renew their assuiances (/Steadily persisting in their en deavours to improve the character o The Lads'r Book. In its present state they have no fear ‘c. a comparison with any similar publication, ant they flatter themselves, that therime is not distant when its superiority will be generally acknowl edged. They have no wish to boast of corns* pendents- in Russia or “ConstantinopACr” satisfied that whatever they may require in this way fi'D cart-procure much nearer home. They are American in their feelings to build their cl urns to:' support upon foreigp aid<or foreign praise, though both might be easily obtained without incurring any serious expense. The publishers have uww pleasure in receiving the untaught testimonials theirown countrymen* than they could possibly derive from any common datum of writers “D Europe,” -Railed upon to praise thaf which the/ had never seen, and eulogies would be ittG* ted out in proportion to their reward. wxm A Repository of Arts, Utcratw.-e 4t> F./shoi* Pahlishsd hy L,.
