PEABODY, EDITOR. COLUMBUS, GA.,OCT. li. 1849. Straw berry Culture—South. Much lias been said and written on the cul ture of the Strawhfiry, and intelligent men dif fer as widely as die |iolcs, in their ( pinion*, in their practice, and in the results ol their prac tice. One removes all the soil, to the depth of | two led, and tills up with rich stable manure, returns a part of the soil and plants his vines, three (bet apart, each way, keeps down the run ners, keeps them well worked, and has an abun dant crop of Hue fruit. Another pursues the very same method, and only gels his labor for his i pains. Another manures deep and lets his vines j run all together, and gets a good crop, while 1 another, with the self-same culture, will only find tangled, sun-burnt vines, when he expected fruit. To cultivate the .Strawberry, successful- 1 ]y, wc must understand fully the difference lie tween the fcjlamiitate and l’istilate varieties, or in plain English, the male and female plants.— The entire Staminafe plant is worthless blit for the purpose of impregnation, and the entire I’is tilate is worthless, unless planted in close prox imity with the Staininate. Strawberry growers have disputed with great warmth, the possibili ty of changing the habits of the plant by cult i vation. Many contend that a pistilate plant will ever lie pistilate, no mutter how cultivated, and that it can n"ver ho made productive, unless ‘■ planted with the stnminitle. For yeais 1 be lieved this, hoi 1 believe it no longer. Ido not j know that the na'ural habits of the plant can be j changed, for ! do not believe that the pistilate j state is natural. It has been forced by unnatur al cultivation, and whenever by a proper system j of culture it is thrown hack to its natural state, it becomes the most productive of strawberries, . It is a homely hut trite saying that the proof ol the pudding is in the eating, and now 1 will give j my own experience in the culture ol this deli cious fruit. Might > ears ago, l obtained from the Mesrss. Thorbtirn, of N. Y., a great variety of strawberry plants, and among them the lio vey’s seedling. This strawberry came tome at the height of its reputation, as a fruit of unequal ed size, unsurpassed in (lower and productive ness. M v llrst object was to produce plants e tiotigli to stock abel ol good size. Having ac complished this I planted them out two feet a part, each was and manured highly. I worked tlmm constantly, kepi the runners down, and h ad the satisfietiou to see luxuriant vines, and anxiously watched fir the budding fruit, but alas, the bloom opened entirely pistilate. The next season, 1 redoubled my exertions in culture, ap plied more manure, and with the same results. The third y ear 1 planted alternate rows of par tial stanmmte with the llovey’s, and had the sat islaclioiq to see the hitherto barren pistil swell into the ruddy-ripe, delirious strawberry. But yet I was not satisfied with the yield. Not one third ol the bloom stems produced fruit. I ex amined the wild strawberry, I cotdd find no en tirely pistilate plants among them. I deter mined to change the whole system of culture. 1 selected a piece of common pine laud, plowed it deep and covered it with leaves from the swamps and woods, and then plowed them in. 1 then planted five rows of Morey’s seedling two feet apart, and then one row of early scarlet, The lirst season the fruit was fine and altogether more productive, than under the high culture system. In the fall of the second year I tinn ed out the vines with tlie hoe, leaving them on the ground ■ ‘ . <* they were hoed, and then cov. ered the whole siii fare over with leaves from the swamp. Bv this pr eess, Ike vines do not at. tain half their usual whilst the fruit suffers no diminution and is improved in flavor, and every blossom hud hears fruit. The vines throw up a constant succession ct Iruit stems, and iny strawberry bed is in bloom and in bearing from March until September. Notwithstanding the great frost in April, which entirely killed one crop of fruit and bloom*, I picked from about an acre one hundred bushels of as fine fruit as ever grew, and at least as many more were destroyed by birds and insects. lam quite certain that a change has taken place in the habit of the plant Under this system of culture, for pollen can he seen with the naked eye. 1 have tried the Brit, ish Queen, Ross’ Phoenix, Victoria, and several choice kinds, under the same system of culture without any success whatever, and 1 am satis fied that the llovey’s seedling, trill arc!im tied , is better adopted to Southern culture, than any strawberry now in existence, not only for its ex traordinary productiveness, but for its immense size end exquisite tiavor. Gentlemen who have travelled north this summer, assure me, that they lound nothing in the markets of Baltimore, or Nexv \ork, to compare in fla lMiiKuWKigv, , , „ . on my “ Pmey woods vor. with Urn , to remark that the Ho lilatl. it may In * , . . , manner, makes rey seedling, cultivated tu Iwt , I no runners whilst fruiting, and 111 picking oir runners is avoided. XX henKsi, il "' t is gone, use the lioe. Strawberry beds may made any time after the first of October, March. But the earlier the better, as a fair crop ‘ will ho made the lirst season by early planting. 1 Theoretical strawberry writers, at the north may | deride the idea of any change taking place in the sexual ergans of the plant. But *• tiicls are stub born things,” and where 1 once had compara- ICIICmfUBM AND ROBflQlßflill DEPARTMENT. tßcly no fruit, I have the greatest abundance. yfle whole effort of my vines seems to be, to bake fruit. There is nothing lost in supera bundant leaves, or in runners, and when the fruit-stems appear, the fruit comes with tliPin, as surely as light and heat come from the sun. Agricultural Bureau at Washington. Shall the government foster the Agricultural interest of the country? is a question which ev ery philanthropist, no matter what may be his calling, “ill answer in the affirmative. But how shall it be done, to secure the advantages 11 all alike ? Individuals, counties and States are endowing Agricultural professorships in col leges : arc establishing Agricultural schools and patronizing Agricultural fairs. American agriculture has suddenly Imped from ohscti-, rity, to the bright blaze of prosperity and re. nown. and shall the great central government at J Washington do nothing? arc there no interests to foster but the commercial ? no glory to achieve but in war? Shall our national vessels carry; only the burthens of death and destruction ? and shall our Foreign Ministers, Charges and Con- ( suls spend most of their time in useless and pet ty negotiations, and contribute nothing by the aid and influence of their offices, to the great ag. icultural interest at home? These are, the questions which the farmers of the country must answer, and they do answer, from the bleak hills of Maine, to the sunny vales of Texas. — They demand an agricultural establishment at Washington, that will equal in importance the Patent office, confer more blessing than the war office, and pay as well as the Treasury, not per haps in gold and silver, from the sub-treasury vaults, but in the prosperity, peace and happi ness of our people. These reflections forced themselves upon me, when recently in Washing. : ton. I cal lied at the patent office to obtain some agricultural information. I found the Commis sioner overrun with models and applications, and the immense building crammed with model nia -1 chinerv. But where is the agricultural depart ment? In a small room crammed with sketches of patents, I found Mr. Skinner, and although an able man, and devoted to the great agricultural intersts ol the country, where are his material* to work with ? Crowded in at tho tail end of the patent office, he occasionally gets a few seeds from abroad for distribution, which some subor dinate naval officer, may think proper, through politeness or civility to present him. Every thing connected with the agricultural department at Washington, is a matter of courtesy. There is no law on the subject. 1 asked Mr. Skinner if I should meet him at the great FairatSyracuse? lie, replied that personally, it would give him llie greatest pleasure to attend, but that the gov. ernment would not pay his expenses there, and that as a matter of pride lie could not go. Out ■ upon such contemptible meanness! the great i government of the United Slates, to refuse to pay the trifling expenses of one of her ablest of. fleers, to investigate and report upon one of the \ greatest Agricultural fairs ever held in the coun try ! Politicians object to the creation of more government cilices for fear of government pa tronage. Then let us curtail some of the pres ent offices, take something from the War office, some from the treasury and something from the post-office, and place the first interest of every true American heart, at least, on an equal footing with tear and postage.. Washington is eligibly ( situated as regards central position, climate and soil, for the greatest agricultural and horticultur lal establishment in the world. One-half the cost of the Mexican war will endow the insti tution, and instead of blood anil death, its itillu -1 enee will he peace, prosperity and happiness.— It should be made obligatory upon the officers ol the government to contribute all in their power to the resources of the common country. All that is new and good in stock, in plants, ill seeds or i.u flowers, should be sent to the agricultural department and tested by scientific men. Able ; and learned men should lecture upon all the dif ferent branches that appertain to the culture or embelislmienl of the earth, free for the public.— j Then indeed, will our beautiful capital be the Mecca of the American farmer, the horticultur ! ist and the florist, and something else will be 1 heard on Pennsylvania avenue besides politics, | spoils and office. Farmers if ye will hare all of this, all you have to do is to say the word. In struct your representatives how to act. You have the power. Let the press sound the tocsin, and | farmers rally to tho call. Slumber not until wo have an Agricultural Bureau, separate and i distinct from all other departments, with an able , and efficient head, devoted to all the agricultural interests of his country. And then, if with all the expenditure, with all the interchange with for eign nations, with all the pomp and ceremony of unlading packages from national vessels, hut one solitary seed of value should he introduced among us, we should he richly repaid for all ex pense and trouble. What, for example, would our government give for a peck of rice, had it never been introduced here? Figures can scarcely count its value, and yet its introduction was quite accidental. Let all good men, of all parties unite, in bringing about ati event so much to bo desired by the farmer, and so beneficial to I to tho whole interest of our beloved country. Culture OF Melons.— The countries of the world most celebrated lor melons, arc the plains of Bokhara, composed principally of sand; the Island ot Cypress, similarly constituted; and the Delta ol Egypt, composed of the sand sediment brought down and deposited in a course of ecu- ; lories by the river Nile. Dr. E. D. Clarke, in his travels in Egypt and Syria, gives an inter esting account of the melon cultivation on the j Nile, The bed of this long river contains j ■abunilanre ot sand banks, subjected to changes ; And shilling, from the annual floods by which v Aey are formed. As the winter recedes after i tl,\’ floods, these banks are gradually left dry, and j are immediately occupied by Fallahs, as melon | betlk Pigeons’ or doves’ dung, which bird abounds in Egypt, is mixed in proper quantities j with this @nd, and the products are astonishing, j Dr. Clark affirms that when ripe, an|extensive lied of these melons perfume* the air to a great distance ; and the vessel in which he sailed from Rosetta to Acre being freighted with this fruit, the fragrance was almost overpowering. A gen tleman a few days since assured us that the finest melons he had ever raised or tasted, were grown on a bank of pure sand thrown from a well at the depth of about twenty feet. Manure was mixed with the sand and the seeds then planted. Three ofthc melons weighed above sixty pounds, more than twenty pounds each. There is no plant that seems to delight more in % sandy soil limn the melon. Interesting to Florists. —A lute number of the Loudon Gardener’s Chronicle thus de scribes the appearance of anew and beautiful flowering plant which has been lately introduced there from South America : “Among the novelties produced oil Tuesday last, at the meeting of the Horticultural Society, was an Oxalis, imported from Peru by Messrs. Voitch, to which we wish to direct attention —— This plant, the Oxalis elegansof Humboldt, had been exhibited on several previous occasions without exciting ni icli attention. It was regard ed as a pretty plant, lint not as one. of striking merit. It lias now, however, quadrupled tin size of its foliage, doubled that of its (lowers, and acquired a briliancy of color, which places it in the first rank among border flower*. ‘1 his change is the effect of cultivation. Cramped in a flower pot and coddled in a frame, it was puny and worthies? ; planted in the open bonier and fed abinidanly with air and dew, it ha* become a gem ofthc purest water. Mr. Veitch believes the specimen to be hardy. He has grown it for two years in the open ground in his nursery at Exeter ; and he received it from the mountains behind Loxa, in Pern, where his collector, VVm. Lobb, obtained it.— We take it to be about as hardy as O. Bowiei. The leafllets are firm, fleshy, of a dark rich green | and stained with purple on the under side. I’ rom the centre of thesa rises a stalk, about nine inch i es high, hearing a truss of live or six deep rose. ! colored flowers, with a rich dark purple rye. In j general ctlect they are not unlike \ iscaria ocu. ! lata, only much handsomer. Till experience shall have been obtained of J the real habits of this species, it will be prudent jto give it some slight shelter in the “ inter.

FROM TIIF. ALA. BEACON. Saving Pea Vines. i Mn. Harvey: Now that the season has nr rived, and a*, from the shortness of tho cotton crop, our planters have time sufficient at their disposal. 1 would take the liberty of suggesting I to them the feasibility of converting into win ter food, the l’ea vines which have the past sum mer grown so luxuriantly. To do this most advantageously, and with the least injury to the land, select, alter the corn has been gathered, the richest spots of ground where the vines are of the best growth, pull up, or cut with a sharp hoe, (I prefer the latter, though the former is the most expeditious,) sev ering every root or fibre which may connect the vine with the earth, and having suffered them to remain from three to four days in the sun, lake them cither to pens or stack them as you do fodder, securing well the lop of the stack against weather with a cap of straw or fodder. Where the vines have become entwined around the corn stalks, the stalks should be cut in two parts with the hoe, and allowed to re. main, as they afford, should the vines not be well cured, ventilation, preventing a degree of heat which would otherwise produce injury. If gathered before frost, or the dropping of the leaves, they make much belter food than if suffered to remain till after this has occurred, j But even then they are superior to many aril, cles of provender in u*e—as for instance, straw, shucks, &c. For milch cows, to say nothing of their superiority for horses, mules, and < X’n, they are invaluable, making the flavor and co or of the butter both rich and elegant. A little experience will doubtless sustain me in asserting than no crop remunerates so hand somely, for the small share of labor bestowed, as that of peas. Where scattered on the ground at the rate of 1 1.2 pecks per acre, at the lime of sowing oats,—cither fall or spring—plowing all in together, in June, when the oats are taken off, the Pea vines spring up with the grass, and in September following are ready lor mowing, when the yield of peas, vines, and hay, will ex ceed in quantity, and I might add quality, the first crop. C. From ihe Southern Cultivator. A 3,'cw Article of Export. Ocean Steam Navigation and Railroads are beginitig to confer important benefits on North ern farmers, in which those ol the South may equally participate. We find some of our agri cultuial friends in Western New York, making pork and beef to be sent in winter, fresh, to Liv erpool, Bristol and London. This trade is in its infancy, and well deserves the attention of mtr Southern readers. Thousands ol New England farmers sell all the hogs and pigs which they raise, either to go to England in the shape of un salted meat packed in ice, in which condition pork and heel’enter British ports duty tree, or to he eaten fresh in Boston, Lowell, and other chie*. This done, they buy for their own con sumption choice Western pickled poik and heel. It is obvious that the quick passages made by steamers across the ocean, the abundance ot; ice in winter at all Nmthorn seaports, and the I ease with which railroads can concentrate fat hog* and cattle at tlie*c points from the interior, iiiu*l operate to drain the Northern Atlantic States to some extent of their meat. Noxv, we hazard nothing in saying that there are portions of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas which can grow hogs and neat cattle, fatten and barrel them lor New En gland consumption, either by her whalemen, her numerous mechanics and operatives, or her farmers, and make the business a profitable branch of Southern agriculture and commerce. The production of meal, under the new order of (fifin'* which steam otSlaml and water ha* ercateflp|>re*eiits to the v. ise and active, many and impoitant advantage*. Less capital is ne cessary to prosecute the rearing and feeding of domestic animals than is required to make cot ton, sugar or rice, lndusiiy, skill and sound judgment can hardly fail of success in tlie best grazing and corn-groxving districts of the South. The writer has travelled by laud from the Cher okee country in Georgia, to Rochester, in eight days, two of which have been spent at the gieat Cattle -Show and Fair of the New X ork State Agricultural Society. \\ e shall lake another occasion to write out our notes of this magnifi cent and unequalled exhibition. It is pertinent to our present purpose to say that, spey ed heifers greatly excelled all competitors in the beef line. Mr. Leach, the feeder, assured us that the gain in weight of carcass resulting from spaying is 25 percent., on equal quantities of Ibou, and that of like quality. That the meat is better—seilinga! a higher price in market—most of our readers need not be informed, (food beef and dairy cattle, both male and female, are in demand and sell high. Such of our friends as possess choice swine and neat cattle should keep them well and mull'ply their numbers, for somebody will want them at a remunerating price. Now is the time to prepare winter feed, and shelter from the cold rains and storms. Per mit ns in this connection to press on the atten tion of every stock raiser, it he keeps hut a breed ing sow and a couple of coxvs, that daily care and good keep are indispensable to success and large profit. The difference between Northern and .Southern farmers in this respect is marked, and not agreeable to the feelings of a Georgian : who takes a deep interest in Southern Agricul ture. Produce as line fat cattle and hogs as do the farmers of Kentucky and Ohio, and South ern heel and pork packers will pay high prices, because their meat will be nearer the seaboard and the markets of the world at Columbia in South Carolina, Atlanta in Georgia, and Mont, ginnery in Alabama, than nt Louisville or Cin cinnati. In conversation with Mr. Clay at the Fair, on the subject of stock growing, he ex pressed the opinion that the lack ot lime in our ! Southern soils, which so abounds near Lexing ton and in Western Nexv New York, will ever ! prevent the South from having rich, abundant and sweet pasturage. This remark was answer j ed by the assurance that Southern industry and enterprise would in a few years add to all litne less soils the quantity of that mineral required for the perfection of grazing and cereal plants.— Having travelled much over Georgia, given pub i lie lectures in many counties, and conversed not a little with its farmers at their homes, xve kno"’ that tho spirit of improvement is more pervading and active among them at present, than was a similar spirit in New York nine years ago, when a few devoted friends of the farming interest organized its State Agricultural Society. Rely upon it, American Agriculture in every portion of our common country, is destined to rise rapidly in \ power, wealth, dignity and legislative favor. The | dark and wasting dominion ot popular prejudice and ignorance over rural afl'airs cannot long ex- I ist in the United States alter the middle ol the 19th century. The tacts disclosed by the more j \ perfect national census of 1850, will give to the | agricultural press and the friends of improvement | a moral power that will fie felt and heeded in | Congress, and by every other legislative body jin the Union. All classes will see and acknowl edge the practicability of rendering every branch i of la. m labor more productive, and more valu j able to the community at large than is now wit | nessod. Alar higher standard of intelligence ’ and ol coinfint will be fixed in the popular mind, I never to lie, lowered in all coming time. So : long as knowledge is power and ignoran. e weak, j ness, it will he as dangerous as degrading for the j farmers of any Stale to close their eyes against t li?? light of modern science. The improvement of poor lands, the renovation of old fields and the | cheap production of grain, cotton, meat and po tatoes, are matters too important to the well lie- [ ing of society not to command a large share of, the public attention. The fertilizing of planta- j linns is so intimately associated xvitli the grow, ingandfattening of doiiies.ic animals, that xve never think offat hogs, sheep and cattle, without j connecting with the idea, the abundant materials at hand for enriching the soil. The plow and the hoe are used too much at the South for the best interests of the plan'ing States. Excessive tillage impairs fertility and wastes both labor and capital. Rich pastures xvill remedy this defect, and give the South another valuable staple for export. It will lead to the cheaper production of cotton by raising a bale on less surface and with fewer days’ labor. The richer the soil the smaller the expense of making good crops upon the same. Hence, the most intelligent planters and farmers both South and North, study to in croalse the fertility of the earth by making and husbanding manure. Hence, too, the high price of choice sheep, next cattle, breed mares, jacks, horses and hogs. Grass seeds are also high, for steam has brought tho cheap lands of Ameri ca very near to the one hundred millions of hu man mouths in Western Europe. The farmers of the Empire State, whether engaged in (lie dairy business, wheat-cuulture, xvool-growir.g, or stock-raising, were never doing better than they now are. L. The Potato. —lt is a fact perhaps not gen erally known to farmers, that there are two parts in the potato, which if separated and plant ed at the same time, one will produce tubers fit foi the table eight or ten days sooner than the other. The small end of the potato, which is generally full of eyes, is that part which produ ces the earliest; the middle or body of the po tato produces late, and always larger ones. A farmer in the Amherst Cabinet says he always pursues this plan, in order to obtain anenilv supply lor the table, which are usually fine and mealy.— Claremont Eagle. What a Farmek should he —A farmer should be well instructed iu chemistry generally, mure particularly as applied to agriculture ; ho should be well versed in mineralogy, geology, botany, and in tho physiology of seeds, plants, trees and animals, including the species ol binana ; he should learn geometry, mensu ration, &c., he should % study political econ omy so tar as to have a clear conception of the sources of wealth and prosperity. In our repub lican government he should be instructed in his constitutional rights, and taught to vindicate them by a terse and condensed elocution. It “ ill by a happy event for our country when out'Tarmers. so educated, shall have the ascendancy in our halls of legislation, and thereby put a s!.p to the fallacious pleadings of demagogues, who have already reduced our country, possessing all the means of prosperity in a pre-eminent degree, to i ngist pitiable condition by their miserable leg islation. 3,000 Dollars Reward!
