176 entire circular centre bud in a flower garden, laid out in the geometric style, provided always that such bed shall not be less than 10 or 12 feet square. If with a brick edging, there might be a single outer row of mixed hyacinths in spring, followed by China-asters in summer, and sternbergias in autumn, the green leaves of which would look well through the winter. Athens, Ga., Oct 1,185 D. M. A. IV. NEW BOCHELLE BLACKBERRIES. A Connecticut subscriber and correspondent sends us the following article, from the Xorualk (Conn.) Gazette, to corroborate his statement — sometime since in this paper—as to the value of the above Blackberry: Seymour's Blackberries, Again*. —Some weeks ago we published a statement of the yield of a patch of the New Rochelle Blackberries, as raised upon three acres by Messrs. Geo. Seymour ,t Co., of this town. That statement seemed so large that we could scarcely credit it ourselves, until we had visited the grounds, when, upon careful view, and a practical estimate, our bump of credulity was prepared for almost anything. We have witnessed enormous yields of this fruit on the grounds of these gentlemen in years gone by, but never anything to equal the bearing of the present season, and no one can form any adequate conception of their abundance from anything we can publish, who has not seen the enormous berries hanging in great clusters more like a heavy yield of hope than anything we can liken them to. What would be thought by the uninitiated of a single bush yielding from three to four bushels of berries! Yet this has been no unusual yield. Mr. Seymour informs us that he ha 3 sold over four hundred bushels in New York, which have averaged him $8 per bushel, he has also made thirty barrels of Blackberry Wine, which he could readily sell now for SSO per bar rel, and by Spring will be worth very much more, being very generally used as a medicinal and communion Wiue. * * * This, is in addition to all that have been eaten and carried away by hundreds of astounded spectators from abroad, his neighbors, and the Editor, (who has had a special regard for three acres) so that here we have an aggregate income from three acres (and only three) of not the best land in the world of $3200 in berries and SISOO in wine, with plants enough for next spring’s sales to make the net yield from this small plot an even five thousand dollars! When will our honest, hard-working, toiling farmers, who reside within ten or twenty miles of any railroad leading to any great town or city, awake to the value and importance of raising these small fruits rather than potatoes and grain ? * Mr. Seymour, it is true, has been one of the most successful, as he has been the most exten sive raiser of this particular fruit, and prices have been such as to render his crops very large ly remunerative, yet had he been compelled to have sold his berries at 5 cents per quart, in-* stead of 25—he would still have netted a better return per acre, than any farmer hereabouts can boost from any grain or root crop which has been raised the present season. What farmer will take our advice and make a similar trial another year. ESSENTIALS FORFRUIT TREES. “Fruits may be successfully cultivated in al most all localities, by observing the following requisites: Ist Wood ashes, containing, as they do, all the elements necessary to their growth, except carboD, which is derived from the air, afford congenial elements for all trees and woody growth. 2d. That lime, whether in the form of marl, shell, plaster, or stone lime, is a specific for applo trees, and that apples are largest and fairest grown iu a calcareous soil. 3d. That phosphates, in the form of bones, (which are principally composed of phosphate of lime,) or prepared super-phosphates, are spe cifics for pears and grapes. 4th. That ammonial manures, as guano, horse-dung and urine, are specifics for the peach, and give flavor and spirit to all other fruits.” Prize Etsay. As to the last proposition, we should fear the application of such manures to the peach, would cause the fruit to rot. We have generally ob served that our peaches of the highest flavor, grew on trees well thinned, in soils of medium fertility, not abounding in ammonia.—[Ed. —«■»> Lexington, Sept. 20,1859. Mr. Editor.—ls you know how to make grape seed germinate with certainty you will very much oblige me by giving me the informa tion. lam desirous of increasing the scupper nongs, considering them the most certain bear ers, and an/mg the best wine and table grapes. If you cannot give me the information I want is it not possible foi you to procure it through the Field and Fireside 1 Very respectfully, yours, George W. Gilmer. Grape Seed, we have found germinate freely if sown in the fall. It comes up of itself in our grounds where self-sown, every spring. Where we have made beds of garden mould and planted in autumn, the seed come up as readily in the spring as other fruit seeds. Bulbous Flower RooTS.-Our Holland friends generally send us a few of their “ Oignons a'fle «>» ”at this season. A bed must be prepared for th«jji. The richest and deepest soil with a just proportion of organic matters, is the soil for these ; a loam is the most appropriate for Tulips; it be highly manured, the ma nure well incorporated with the soil; well rot ted barn-yard matter'll the most useful. The soil should be very deef% stirred and the sur face well eievated from the W e 0 f the grass or walk. Hyacinths require caK i n planting to preserve from superfluous nifi^ ure . Snow Drops and Crocus will succeed much special care, but those who manage tfV Crocus skillfully enjoy a rich treat in the spring \y e know of no nicer feature in the garden a pure bed of Hyacints in full bloom. The must be arranged with regard to color and sym metry: this demands a very complete knowledge of the habits of the varieties planted; a rich soil, dry and friable, with a fair mixture of sand, and a deep covering, say four inches of soil in winter, with litter or hemlock branches for pro tection, are the important desiderata next to firm and perfect roots. Do not select the lar gest of the Hyacinths, rather the most firm and compact, with small perfect crown, showing no leaf. Get your bulbs from reliable dealers, and see to it at once.— Country Gentleman. —«• ra — Baked Beans.—To have a nice dish of baked beans, parboil half an hour, adding a little soda; then pour off the water and rinse them. Add your pork already notched, cover them with wa ter, and let them boil an hour, adding a tea spoonful of 6ugar to every quart of beans.— Then put them in a baking dish, and let them brown nicely. TMM 3OT&3® M3® 3flE3iSl3®3ge THE APPLE TREE BORER. We copy from the horticultural department of the Genesee Farmer , the following communica tion, dated at Cameron Mills, Steuben county, N. Y., Sept 2. The Apple-tree Borer.—This pest of the orchard i 3 becoming more and more destructive every year. Young orchards, especially upon gravelly ground, left to themselves are almost sure to be ruined in from one to three years.— I have been experimenting to prevent them for the last six years, some of the time killing more trees than grubs. I have at least ascertained, to my entire satisfaction, that there are several ar ticles not good for trees, be they ever so good to kill the grubs. Experience is a dear school, but it is called a good one. Spirits of turpen tine, when applied to apple and peach trees, I know will kill them; also, unleached ashes, when plUced in contact with the hark of the apple by being piled around them. The peach appears to stand the latter. I have observed that trees upon a clay soil were much less in fested than when upon a gravelly one. I thought by drawing the earth away from the roots of my trees, which are upon a very loose gravelly soil, and piling around them a small mound of clay worked up into a soft mortar, to place them in as favorable a condition as though they stood upon a clay soil. The result proved me to bo mistaken. Instead of being an advantage. 1 found my trees never contained as many grubs before, many of them having a dozen each. — This was caused by the shrinking and cracking of the clay as it dried, forming a small space between it and the bark, into which the insect could crawl and deposit its eggs. The bark, by being kept moist, was very soft and in excellent condition for them to flourish. I have settled down upon the following plan, which I am con fident will prove successful: In the spring I draw all the earth away from the body of the tree quite down to the roots, and dig out with a pen-knife all the grubs I can find, and then ap ply the following mixture with a paint brush, for a foot or eighteen inches above the ground: Plug tobacco, one pound; aloes, four ounces; water two gallons; steep down to oue gallon and add one gallon of soft soap, and stir well. This should be applied in the spring, again the last of June and first of Septemoer, each time look ing closely for grubs, which should always be removed with the knife, as this will not, nor will any other wash, eradicate them after they are onco hatched. It should be used to prevent the insect from depositing their eggs upon the bark, and to destroy them when they are deposited, before they are hatched. Tiie Bark-louse. —I have succeeded in free ing a number of young trees that were wonder fully iufestod with the bark-louse, by washing with strong soap-suds and tobacco-water, ap plied as warm as the hand could bear, using a woolen rag and rubbing each branch separately. The warm water softens up the woody scales, so that with a little rubbing the bark will bo per fectly clear of them. I have often tried weak lye, but found they would stand any number of applications. The rubbing with hot suds is slow but perfectly effectual. s. M. —-*•*- Fixing Up for Winter.—As winter ap proaches, the advent of which is foreshadowed by the decaying leaves and falling branches, the neat and orderly gardener sots himself to clean ing up his litter, arranging his pot plants in win ter quarters, and otherwise “ fixing up,” as they term it. This is not an unimportant matter; dreary winter has few charms for the amateur— her Verbenas are gone from the borders, her Petunias from the mound; her delicate climbing Manettia glabra has yielded; even the plebian Morning Glory, which opens its bright and gaudy corolla to the poor and rich, this, too, droops and dies. Enjoyment is then to be sought in rugged branches and tall towering trees, with ever verdant foliage; in shrubs, whose leaf sys tem withstands the change of the season, being only removed by gradual and almost impercepti ble instalments. Our needle-leaved trees are the beauty of the pleasure-ground in the com ing winter season. Remove, then, all the gloomy remnants of decay and death; let not November sun shine on your black and rotten masses of leaves and litter; let the garden be neat and clean, so that the owner may walk therein with pleasure and gratification, without lamenting the inevitable signs of the fulfillment of another portion of his earthly sojourn. [ Country Gentleman. — Ciietney Sauce. —The following recipe is fur nished the Edgefield Advertiser by a gentleman who is au fait in many things, and who ventures to predict that every lady who tries it will like it: “ Take eight ounces of sharp Apples—pared and cored ; the same weight of Salt, Tomatoes, Raisins and Brown Sugar. Red Pepper and Powdered Ginger, each four ounces, Garlick and Escliallottes each two ounces. Pound these ingredients separately in a mor tar, mix them thoroughly; add three quarts of vinegar and one quart of Lemon-juice. Place the jar containing the composition, on a stove, or by the side of a fire, in a heat not less than 130 deg. Fahrenheit. Stir twice a day for a month; then strain it, but do not squeeze the residue dry; bottle the liquor, which is an excellent sauce for any kind of fish or meat, hot or cold. A teaspoonful will impart a pleasant flavor to any ragout, or be sufficient for a pint of broth. The residue should be put into pots or jars; it may be used in sauces or gravies; or may be used like mustard with cold meat, being an ex cellent ingredient for “ devils” either wet or dry. It may be made very goocl with vinegar.” New Tobacco.—The Petersburg Erpress of the 10th says that a small parcel of new tobacco, crop of 1859, was sold in the Dauville market a day or two ago at $lO per hundred. This is said to be the first new tobacco yet offered in Virginia. —— L Broom Corn.—An Illinois paper makes the ■nent: “ There is a field of broom i in the vicinity of Rockford, 11-800 800 acres. The seed was plant y, the corn being drilled in rows, ches apart. The whole crop is 85 per ton. The crop this year $20,000.” ——-■—- To Cook tiie Vio Plant Fruit.—A most competent judge of everything good sends us two of the finest specimens of this vegetable we have ever seen, and it with this recipe for preparing the dis^; “First, peal oft - the purple rind; then slice crossways as when you fry sweet potatoes; then soak two or three hours in felt and water; grate over it several biscuits; ad& black pepper to taste; beat up an egg and dip each slice in it; then sprinkle with bread crumbs* fry, and bring them in hot.”— Edgefield Advertiser. , fruit culture. With all die love of fruits possessed by man kind since tie day that Eve tempted Adam with an apple, it is a matter of surprise that but a small per cAtage of the population of the earth ever engagan the cultivation ot fruits, and yet if, by an adiprsity of season, the main crop fails, how a greaj lamentation is made over the loss, and what eiorbitant prices will be paid at such times for gjod fruit. Aw' Ipt pateh of strawberries, 30 feet square, J give a full supply of that delicious fruit to a imily. On how many of the thou sands of li mesteads can such patches be found? The cost ft plants, manure, digging, hoeing and weeding u to the ripening of the first crop, would cos probably, less than $lO. The first crop will, i a majority of cases, pay principal and interei Cherries mulberries, raspberries and black berries, in pood situations, and with a little at tention, raJiv ever fail. Apples, pears, peaches, itc., by prol-r selections of localities, can bo had, if not al warn in abundance, at least iu most years iu sufficientV[iiattities for home use. The cli mate and so| of our country are well adapted for the cultif atitu of all fruits that usually flour ish in temperate climates, and we have only to take the nutter earnestly in hand, plant trees and cultivate tljrni, when in a few years we shall bo rewarded wf h an abundance of fruit. To make a g>od beginning, .select your trees from a reliable nursery, in your locality, if you have such. Ytn will be quite likely to get what you contract fok and may be sure that the trees will be alive, r your nurseryman is posted up in his business, le will not be slow in getting new things tat are really valuable and worthy of cult ation. Trees exposed for sale in the market [laces, are not always reliable. The practice of ,hus exposing trees for sale, is a disadvantage J> the seller and buyer, and should be disiuntenanced. Avoid travelling agents, with tb|r portfolios of fruit done up in the highest sty* of the art, so as to “ look as large as life and wice as natural,” as you would a viper, for you kill almost be sure to be “bit” by them, unless .hey have the most undoubted credentials andneferenees. — Rural Register. The Lexingtki Flag says tnat pieces of sas snfrus bark, put in with dried fruit, will keep all insects away from it. The statement seems highly probabley for the fragrance and essential oil of this bark ire very offensive to these pests. BW———— THE SOUTHERN TEACHER.

The extensive anu constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of Winter Clothing for negtoes, made by them, has not been surpassed by any cloth made North or South. Recent extensive improvements, and others now being erected, enable us to keep up the standard of the Goods, and to secure an early delivery. Planters, or others, who may wish to send us wool to be made into cloth, can send it dirty or clean. If washed, it should bo done in cold water, and done thoroughly. If sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash ing. Burry Wool is not objectionable; the burs are re moved by machinery. The name of the owner should be marked upon every "package sent. Wool sent bv railroads in Georgia, Alabama, Tennes see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, with the owner's name, and “ Richmond Factory ” marked upon it, will be regularly and promptly received, and the cloth, when made, returned to the points directed. Each par cel is made up in the turn received We would especially urge upon our patrons the great necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipped ; if this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of having the cloth in ample time.

WHITE, Horticultural Editor. Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art It is in quarto form of eight pages, folio size—each issue con taining forty columns of matter. In mechanical execu tion, it is in the best style of the typographical art In utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and practical knowledge of the South can furnish. A weekly visitor to the homes of Southern Planters and Fanners, it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal merit 1 In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of en terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the part of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultiva tion. Too long the Southern people have been content to look to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricultural matters, and to Northern literary papers for mental rec reation. There is, however, a growing spirit of inde pendence and of self-reliance at the South. Our people are awaking to the conviction that we have the elements of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes. The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary re sources of own worthy to be fostered—that among South ern writers should be divided some portion of that vast stream of Southern money that flows perpetually north ward to sustain Northern literature. My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle o information useful to Southern Planters and Fanners, and a repository of Southern thought, imagination and taste, in the realms of Literature and Art; and to obtain for it such an extent of patronage and success, as will justify the most liberal compensation to all its contributors. Able and experienced editors arc engaged, and steps are in progress to secure contributions from the most pleasing Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will be brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises to Southern people. “Full many a gem, of purest ray serene,” will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen erous glow of pride In Southern genius. The Agricultural Editor is Dr. Daxixl Lite, the dis tinguished Professor of Agriculture in the Univerity of Georgia—editor for many years past of the Southern Cultivator , and a leading contributor to many Northern agricultural journals of the highest reputation. The Horticultural Editor is Mr. Wm. N. White, a skill ful and experienced cultivator of fruits, flowers, and vege tables—a writer of repute in these departments, and au thor of that popular work, “ Gardening for the South." The Literary Editor is Mr. W. W. Mann, of this city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste, and scholarly attainments, who, having retired from the active duties of the legal profession, spent many years in Europe, and was for several years the Paris Correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer and Southern Literary Messenger. THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE will combine the useful and the agreeable. It will furnish the Southern Farmer information useful in every field he cultivates, and the Southern family choice literature, the offspring of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at every fireside. It will be, in all respects, a first class pa per —on a scale of expenditure more liberal than has yet been attempted in the South, and designed to rival, in its merits, the most distinguished of the North.
