HORIZONTAL PLOUGHING, Arm
Obscrittfivus on Horizontal Ploughing, Fruit I fees,
• and making If'tnc.
St. Matthew’s Parish, June 27, 1831.
Mk. Editor—Your journal, “ The South
cm Agriculturist,” is a valuable acquisition
to the planter, and I am surprised arid vexed
that it has not a greater patronage, and a
more extensive spread.
You complain sometimes that you have not ;
an adequate supply of original matter, that the j
planters arc backward in forwarding the re
sults of their practical experiments. This;
sir, is owing to a few obvious causes, there ;
are but few of us small planters who read you! ;
journal, and still fewer who arc capable of I
putting their experiments on paper, and ma- j
ny of the great planters are too well off to j
care for any thing. Yet the productions of
many of your contributors would do honor to
gny periodical in either hemisphere. Could
the great mid tho small communicate to you ;
*he effect of their efforts experi
ments, you would have a supply, rnorO per
haps than would be necessary. Bu as the
case is, wc common writers mostly have com
mon senoc enough to be ashamed of exposing
QJit illiteracy, and shrink from laying before
the public eye curcoirse and Lomel) perfor
mances, especially when wo are conscious
that they will be placed in company wiMt the
finest and most beautiful productions cf the
pen. In this I state my own feelings and
judge of those similarly circumstanced by
mine. For had it not been for your repeated
solicitations for original articles, I should ne
ver have aspired to theJionor of becoming cm
of your correspondents.
t see essays in several of your journals in
favour of horizontal ploughing. I have been
endeavoring rnore than twenty years to pre
serve the soil on the delivery cf mv hills by
l.orixontal ploughing, but have failed in all
my efforts except on regular inclined plains.
I expect, sir, it would not be unnecessary
tor many of your readers to know that the e
ladicatica of any vegetable previous to it&
maturity, is injurious if not death to the soil. 1
In the year IS2O, I pulled up about a quarter
of an aero oUvcry rank peas, and gave them to
my hogs, and the same piece of ground has
produced comparatively nothing ever since.
The same year I ruined another piece ol i
ground planted in pmders, by pulling them
up previous to frost. The tops, after the ad
hering roots were taken off, were depo : ted
in the barn for hay; the roots that remained
i*u the ground were given to the hogs, and the
ground has remained sterile ever since. This,
S well as tbs ruined section of the pea-patch,
in the summer season, arc two bald places in
tny field, producing nothing, although 1 ma
nured them highly. This has since caution
ed me not to clear land while the sap is up,
O; making pea. or sweet potatoe, hay, or hav
ing the potatoe tops cat oil', or the roots dug,
previous to frost. An old plantation philoso
pher has since signified to me, that the life of j
•he land at a certain season was in the vege
tables that it supported, and to eradicate the
vegetables at that period, was depriving the,
land of its li*e : though this seems incredible,
yet the above facts seem to verify it.
There is no part of the Atlantic states (and
I am well acquainted with the most fruitful
df them) can be preferred to the interior ot
Soath-Cardina faiul Georgia,] for producing
fruit, apples and peaches in particular. Fruit
is no* injured by the frost in this parish, as
much as it is in the great cider districts of
North. My youngest orchard is twenty-
Vno years old, and has never failed in bearing
fruit every year since it commenced bearing,
I have many nourishing peach trees more
than a quarter of a co tnry old, these bad
vewex been transplanted or pruned, their
limbs and brandies .are long and tcugh, and!
arc never so overloaded as to endangci their
being broken, but will bend low on all sides
cs though it were to invite one to pick their
fruit and qn.vad them ; and when disburthen
ed their limbs and brandies will rise up again
to their natural position. The latteral branch
es of a fruit tree ought never to be interrupt-
Yd, they guard the body of the tree from the
fatal effects of the summer's sun. The most*
flourishing and prosperous trees I have were
never pruned* In transplanting trees of any
l.ind it is necessary to keep in mind that, they
must stand in the same position in the orch
ard in respect to the compass as they did in
the nursery. The mote root the tree has the
better; but still there will be a portion of it
for which the tree must bo topped in pro
portion to the deficiency of the root, but this
treo is to have no more pruning, the latteral
branches in particular an t< remain unmo
lested. More fruit trees arc destroyed by our
ignorance of the right way of managing their,
than by all the other causes put together.—
They are the chihlr u of induce, and art is
Crier, hostile *o them ; 1 have known an igno
r.nt primer top off more than half of the limbs
of a peach tree utj&net*, and the consequence
ras the few limbs that were left were so
Overloaded with fruit the ensuing summer as
to be broken-off and destroyed, and the re
dundancy of sat) confined to the body of the
t-re for want of space, and limbs fomented,
s .veiled, burst the bark in the most tender and
ulnerable part ncur the real and a sickly ex
t. ‘-oir of substance took place ; the cracks
am; r -surds awls in the Lark by this said dis
rupter. were tilled with vvennu and insects;
tho tree lingered till the fallowing summer
when it died and the efifcct tvas blamed as the
cause. , , .
A tree in a state of nature is never thus
injured by a superabundance of l'ruit, w itness
fi:e p-rsimon and wild Cherry, yet cither of
these, the per3tmo: it: particular, may be so
affected by excessive pruning as to have its
branches brdken by -'a superabundance of
fruit, its bark dismptured bp a redundancy
of sap confined and fermented, ami a prema
ture decay brought on eip.iJar to the peach
tree just mentioned.
Two years ago, this coming peach time, I
made an experiment on a sAiall scale in drying
peaches with the skin or pairing on, and Vue
< ■ ded better than 1 expected. I took the kind
>'ler n stt.*- ; •-Vt’y e at r-pc hut rt
| too soft, and after rubbing all the scuif or
- down off with a coarse wet cloth, divided each
into halves, filled the caw cs with sugar,
| place their skin down on a portable scatfold
! (which is to facilitate their removal to and
from their drying place without handling the
fruit:) by this method the pores are so closed
by the skin on one side, and sugar on the
other, that the delicious flavour of the peach
is retained in a much greater degree than in
the common way. Could drying houses,
with all the necessary apparatus he establish*
i oil, thete is no calculating the quant.ty of that
, kind of fruit which might be dried, an ’• that
I two of a superior quality as respects delicacy
and flavour. Proper attention paid to this
subject, might make dried peaches as lucra
tive an article of commerce to our country as
figs to Turkey, or raisins to Spain.
It seems strange to me that the true method
of making Madeira wine, or rather wine
a-la-modc* de Madeira, should still remain a
mystery to the world; especially when its
principal secret, the cause of its peculiar
qualities was discover'd by Sir Joseph Banks
and Doctor Solarider, as long ago as 17G8. —
Which was this in substance, (for I was a
boy when I first read the account and have
not seen the book since,) that the most or new
wine was obtained as expediciously as possi
ble, and immediately mixed with a portion of
alcohol sufficient forcer to prevent its fer
mentation ; giving, without expressingfit, an
idea of u grape bounce, but did not make
known, as I recollect, the proportion of alco
hol requisite for the purpose. This was re
set ved for Mr. John Williams, Sen. of Frank
lin count j - , North Carolina, who after ten
year reiterated fruitless efforts without the
aid of uncommon learning, without any help
from books, any assistance from any writer
or any other person whatever, at length, in
the year 1705, completely succeeded in dis
covering the Whole process of making wine,
a-ia-rncuo dc Madeira, and that too from the
native grape, which was nothing more than
the mixture of the fresh unfermented juice
with strong apple brandy in proportion of
four of the former to one of the latter. That
is one-fifth ef the whole to be brandy. The
most eligible method of the admixture is,
previously, to put the requisite quantity of
brandy i.,'to the wine receiver, so that should
there not be juice enough to fill it, the mix
ture can wait till a sufficiency is procured
witlieut risking fermentation, which must be
guarded against or the whole may be made.
only fit for vinegar. During the said ten years
ofexperiment, Mr- Williams said he made
an abundance of bad wine and good vinegar,
lie had also collected and planted a great
number of Che most valuable wild grape vim-s
around all his fences, so that by the time he
finished, and before, be had fruit in abund
ance to begin with. Ho had also large apple
and peach orchards, anil made an abundant
quantity of cider,, and distilled apple ami
peach brandy of tlie best quality. After dis
tilling the cider made from his earliest fruit,
he gathered his grapes, beat and pressed them
in tlte-snmo manner he did bis apples. His
wine receivers were barrels of about 30 gal
lons, into each be put previously to its being
filled six gallons of strong apple brandy, then
poured in the frcsli juice as fast as it ran
from the press through a strainer, till the cask
was filled when it was bunged up, rolled a
wav to its place of deposit, and the work Was
done as it fines itself and needs no racking off
—the longer it stays on the lees the better.
He likewise, by a similar process converted
the juice of the apple into a wine similar in
all its qualities to that of the grape. He could
give his wine any flavour he pleased—for in
stance, should a spicy flavour be desired, be
would steep the requisite quantity of the pul
verised spice required in' the brandy a few
days previous to its admixture.
I visited Mr-Williams in the year 1706,
and was at his house in the height of his vin
tage, and saw the whole process from the
gathering of the grapes till the rolling away
of the cask, and know what I have stated to
be the truth, which 1 have been endeavour
ing cvct since to promulgate to the utmost of
my abilities, and no one yet is I know of has
availedffiimself of the benefit of it except two
or three of my neighbours.
Wine made agreeably to the above method
is benefited by a warm temperature, me lior
ate heat accelerates its maturity and greatly
improves its strength, flavour, and other good
qualities, for which reason Mr. Williams kept
his in his garret in the summer. His Pomona
as well as grape wine had similar treatment.
1 have for some years past by the above pro
cess kept rny family in wine from the grapes
of a wild muskadinc that overtops an oak in
and from raspberries and strawber
ries. The muskadinc wine has been highly
complimented by nice judges, though not
more than a.year old, and age greatly im
proves it, some prefer the raspberry, But to
me the strawberry is the best flavoured wine I
ever tasted. I did intend this season to have
made a small cask of blackberry wine, but 1
could not procure a sufficiency of apple bran
dy in time. In short, the juice of any seed
fruit may be converted into a wine, by having
its fermentation stopjffil by seed-fruit brandy,
and juice of any pleasant stone-fruit may be
rendered a permanent and delicious cordial
by having ita fermentation arrested by peach
or plum brandy. The juice of berries is apt to
be too thick and to have a redundancy ortar
-1 tar, end must be qualified by water sugar.
After the first squeezi; g the mash must be
well sprinkled with water dc risquecsed, & so
on till the richest of thejuicc is squeezed out,
then sweeten well with good sugar previous
to the mixture with the brandy. One acre of
bearing trees in full maturity ought to pro
duce eight barrels of the pure juice o( the ap
pie, besides common cider, these eight bar
rels of juice mingled as above directed with
the proportion of apple brandy, with about a
dollar’s worth of spices judiciously applied,
will make ten barrels of Pomona wine which
at one year old, will sell for at lenst one dol
lar per gallon, especially where its orign
might be unknown—

composing every style and variety r 'the newest
patterns. They return their most coTdial thanks
to their friends in the Southern States, for their
support in the persecution now carrying on against
them, for their refusal to join a combination in
fixing one tariff of prices for Crocker}*, through
out the trade. It is mainly attributable to the in
fluence of our Southern friends that wc have been
enabled to survive thus far, in this most trying
situation; exposed to the combined influence, and
capital of the whole trade, endeavoring to effect
ottr ruin and expulsion from business. We pledge
ourselves to our friends to give them every satis
faction in our power as regards the quality of our
goods, the excellence and our packers and the low
ness of our prices for cash or city acceptances;
and in return solicit from them a continuance of
their patronage, and particularly request those
who have influence with their friends to exert it
in our behalf, as we trust the cause is one they
are all Interested in and*much benefit will aerne.
to us from their friendly acts in this way. It has
been said, the Combir tion was broken up. As
it regards prices, this is true, and all, we think,
ftiends or foes will allow that we have effected this
change j but wc do asurc our friends, that a. no
period since we commenced eur system of un
shackled prices were we in greater want of as
sistance than at the present moment. This com
bination of men are leaving no means untried for
effecting our ruin, that they may revive the old
system ; our credit and character are assailed in
every shape, our importations waylaid and stop
ped in every instance where threats are sufficient
to intimidate the manufactures from supplying
us:—in fine, no vexation or trouble which the
malice cfmcn could devise has been neglected in
this struggle {q subdue us. V\ e once more call
upon every friend of a free trade to come up to
our support, amt pledge ourselves to givethem no
cause to repent ol their liberality.

FIXHE Morning Courier and New York Kriiju
A rer, is published by JAMES WATSON
WEBB CJ CO. in the city cf New York,daily
and semi-weekly, on fine paper of the largest
size. In its politics it is purely democratic—ad
hering to the principles and usages of the Repib
can Party, and ad locating the re-election effien.
JACKSOX, to the Presidency. Its column tre
alike devoted to Foreign Intelligence, Morals,
Literature, and the Fine Arts. In Morals hot
ever, it does not act upon the creed of Fatiai’o,
or Bigots, but on the contrary, inculcates tlioic
principles of morality and religion only, whift
arc founded upon peace and good will to all tus
kin'!—the fruit of which is tolerance and brother
ly affection instead of “persecution for opinion's
sake.” AH Bigots, Fanatics, Sunday Mad Ad
vocates, and Church an.l are opposed
on principle, and their hypocrisy and uiach.ss
: tions fearlessly exposed,

the support of which will add about §5,000 il
their annual expenses. Vessels from EuropJ
