Legate Esq.—price $5 per annum, in auvuuce, or $6 : if not paid in two months.) 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— At S3O per barrel, S3OO 00 Ten days labour of,a man and two > hoys at $lO, boards3 S ltJ 00 CO gallons of apple brandy at 30 ctsO „ fcdt), spices, 9~i 8 barrels, $1,... .J ~ 1 00 . . $20300 , * ou think lvalue the Pomona .vine tin, h’gb.

MDRNi'HJ COURIER AND 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, j Iu consequence of the other Daily Papers in New York, determining not to board vessels ant' receive their news on Sunday ; the PubiislicM of the Courier A; Enquirer have lately vestdl naarly SI,OOO in a seperate “New establishment’! the support of which will add about §5,000 il their annual expenses. Vessels from EuropJ will be boarded at sea, long before they read! the harbor, and their news disseminated throng!* the country with tuoro than ordinary despatch.*! In incurring this heavy increase of expenditure! the Proprietors look for remuneration to all viiol feel an into; ■ tin the affairs cf the Old Worll! and if they have properly estimated the popntel feeling in relation to this matter,they will hecfrl ciently sustained iu the course they have alopto. j It does not become theta to speak of the libr I nerin which their Editorial Depart).,cat is cotl dueled—lt may be stated however, that Assist I -mt Editors and Reporters arc employed at liber. I salaries, and if the Commercial, Political, LitffiJ ry, Foreign and Domestic News, were j equal to any other Journal, it would scarce' | have'acquired in the short period of five years, •;I greater daily circulation than any other paptr n'J America!
