WOMEN IN THE GARDEN
A good suggestion from an unknown source,
is to be found in the paragraph below:
Much in these days is said about the sphere
of women. Os the vexed question we have
nothing to say. The culture of the soil, the
body aud the soul arc our themes. Itich soils,
healthy bodies, pure, cultivated souls, these are
what we are aiming at. And to this end no
recommend that every country woman hat ea
srarden that shtfkfrp and dress with her own
iiands, or that she supervise and manage. The
culture of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries,
goosberries. currents and garden vegetables is
as delightful and profitable as anything in which
a woman can engage. She may sprinkle her
garden well with flowers. All the better for that
A snowball in this corner, a rose in that, a dah
lia bed there and a moss border here will not be
out of place. Only let the substantial and use
ful constitute the chief part. A touch of the or
nate, like a ribbon ou a good bonnet, is not in
the least objectionable. In all the schools the
girls studv botany. In all families the women
ought to practice botany. It is healthful, pleas
ing and useful. The principles of horticulture
are the principles of botany put into practice.
Farmers study agriculture, why should not their
wives and daughters study horticulture ? I i any
employment i 3 feminine, it would seem that this
is. If any is healthy, this must be.
If any ispleasureable, none can be more so
than this. A rich bed of strawberries, a bush
of blackberries, or currants, a border of flowers
produced by one’s own hand, what can well af
ford a more rational satisfaction ? Ai o say toall
our country sisters, have a garden, if only a
small one, and do your best with it. Plant it
with what pleases you best, with a good variety,
and see what you can do with it What wom
an cannot raise beets, tomatoes, fnelous, onions,
lettuce, and furnish her own table with them ?
What woman cannot plant a raspberry busli, or
currant or goosberry, and tend it well ? Come,
good women, study your health, your usefulness
and happiness, and your children also.
COOKING THE APPLE-PIE MELON.
I see some account of the Apple-Pie Melon,
with an inquiry by 11. G. W., Oct. 20tli, as to
liow “ pies and preserves are made from them.”
Mr. Gardner, of Illinois, Mr. Norris, of Ohio, and
several others, have furnished us with their ex
perience, and by following their directions we
have succeeded in making a complete counterfeit
apple-pie, not to be distinguished from the gen
uine.
Cut and pare as j'ou would pumpkins. Stew
until thoroughly done, and if there is too much
water in them, turn them into something to
drain, and when dry enough use them just as
you would stewed apples, adding sharp vinegar
or tartaric acid to give the tart.
The Apple-Pie Melon is one of the most valu
able acquisitions to the list of vegetables in the
west, that has been made for a long time, as
they grow finely and produce wonderfully. I
planted fifty seeds—thirty came up, and.the frost
on the 4th June left me fifteen vines. About
one hundred melons set, and about forty of them
were cut short by the frost Ist Sept. My larg
est one weighed * fifty pounds, and one of my
neighbors to whom I gave seed, raised one
weighing 53 pounds. They are made valuable
here because fruit is scarce—where lruit is plen
ty they must be of less value. Sami.. M. Dyer.

Plants with Ornamental Foliage. —ln ev
ery garden there should be some of these. Tho
common ribbon grass is found everywhere, and
is one of the best of this class of plants. I will
mention a few others:
Funkia Coerulia fol. var : a day lily, with the
leaves conspicuously margined with white.
Perilla nankiuensis : a strong growing annual
with foliage of a dark purple, almost black. —
Flowers small and inconspicuous.
Spirea Japonica, S. filipendula, aud indeed all
the herbaceous spireas liavo very pretty, orna
mental foliage. There is a shrub of this family,
with variegated foliage, which is very pretty.
Yucca filiinentesa has stiff, rigid, pointed
leaves, with long threads or filaments dangling
from the edges. Tho leaves resemble those of
the aloe.
There are many others which might bo men
tioned, but the above will be sufficient for a
small garden.—G. B. H. — [Country Gentleman.

Immense Peach Orchard in Maryland.—
The Messrs. ReybQld, of Delaware, have for a
long time been known as extensive horticultu
rists, and successful growers of the peach.—
When the blight invaded the orchards of Dela
ware, Mr. A. ReybokL believing that the east
ern shore of Maryland was adapted to the cul
ture of the peach, bought land on tho Chesa
peake, opposite tho Susquehannah. To tho or
chards purchased of the Cassada estate, he ad
ded others, and at this time he has six hundred
acres of peaah orchard, containing sixty-one
thousand two hundred trees, in full bearing.—
He lias had about forty thousand baskets of fruit
this year.
One hundred persons were constantly employ
ed in gatheriug the fruit as it ripened, and two
propellers carrying from, four to six thousand
baskets, were engaged in moving the fruit to
Philadelphia, from whence it reached New York,
Boston and Albany. The peaches averaged
about $2 per basket.— [Detroit Tribune.
A New and Hardy Fumaria, called Coryda
lis speciosa, is mentioned as having been intro
duced to the St. Petersburgh garden from the
river Amour, by a traveller named Maximovicx.
It is reported by M. Regel, to be as hamsome as
Corydalis uobilis, and since it seeds freely, it will
soon be common. The stem is described as be
ing one and a half feet high, red. The flowers
are golden yellow, in bunches at the end of the
stem and branches. — [Gardener's Monthly.
—
Locust Roots Poisonous. —The Hungarian
Quarterly for Practical Pharmacy relates in
stances of children having got poisoned by chew
ing freshly dug up roots of Locust, Robiuia
pscudo-aeaeia. Strong emetics cured them, aud
it was noticed that one of the children, who
suffered for intermittent fever, seemed to have
got completely cured of it by the poison. The
roots of some of the true Acacias are also con
sidered poisonous.— [Translatedfrom Botanische
Zeitung. — Gardener's Monthly.
The most beautiful flowers are those which
are double, such as double pinks, double roses
and double dahlias. What an argument is this
against the chilling deformity of single blessed
ness !. Go ‘marry!’ written on every thing
beautiful that the eye rests upon, beginning
with the birds of Paradise, and ending with ap
ple blossoms.
— —-——
Flowers are the terrestial stars that bring
down heaven to earth, to carry up our thoughts
from earth to heaven—the poetry of tho Creator,
written in fragrance and bounty.

AUGUSTA MARKET, NOV, 25, (NOON.'
COTTON.—The Cotton market in this, as well as In
other marts of the country, for the last week, has been
re-ular at full prices. There appears to be but little
speculative demand, and the trade Is conducted in refer
i cnee to the legitimate demands for home consumption
1 and foreign export Some fluctuation in prices has oc
curred in Liverpool, but the markets in this country
have remained steady.
We are in receipt of Liverpool advices to the 12th of
I November, which rejKjrt Hie sales of the week at 48,000
bales, and an irregular decline of 1-16 to 1-Sd. Fair Up
lands are quoted at 7#, and Middlings at 6 7 ,d. The
market closed quiet. Manchester advices were favora
ble. •
The market in A ugnsta this forenoon, was steady at
about the annexed quotations.
Middlings, ranging from 10 to 10#
Strict to Goad Middlings 10 X to 10’*'
Middling Fair to Fair 10J« to 11
It requires high classifications to bring our highest
figures.
The difficulties in shipping off Cotton affects prices
somewhat at tills time, in all markets, and Augusta is
not an exception. The railroads are crowded with busi

To Preserve Smoked Meat. — How often arc
we disappointed in our hopes of having sweet
hams during the summer. After carefully cur
ing and smoking, and sewing them up in hags
and white-washing them, we find that citherthe
lly has commenced a family in our hams, or the
choice parts around the bone are tainted, and
thus the whole spoiled. Now, this can easily be
avoided, by packing them in pulverized char
coal. No matter how hot the weather or how
thick the flics, hams will keep as when packed
for years. The preservative quality of the char
coal will keep them till the charcoal decays.—
Butter put in clean crocks and surrounded by
pulverized charcoal will never become raucid.—
The receipt is simple—try it.

AMMONIATED BONE SUPER PHOSPHATE OF
LIME.
r'l'MIE above Fertilizer having been used largely in
i Georgia for past two seasons, has now prefcronce
over Ptrurian Guano, or any other Fertilizer now in
market for the following reasons :
It is cheaper.
It has no unpleasant smell.
It will not destroy seed by contact
It is fine powder, ready for application.
It will resist drought. ’
It will prevent or lessen rust
It will cause earlier maturity.
It is a permanent manure, enriching the Soil.
It is guaranteed to be of uniform quality.
We subjoin an extract from a letter of A. L. Alexan
der, Esq., of Wilkes Co.:
Washington, 12th Nov., 1859.
“I like the result of iny experiment with ‘Hoyt,’ and
my trial acres have attracted much attention. The Corn
lias been gathered, and the ratio of manured to unma
nured, is as 25 to 11, or 100 to 44. in a favorable season,
it would have been greater. Up to date, the Cotton stands
as 518 to 127, being rather over 4to 1. When the Cot
ton is all in, I think it will be about 700 to 200.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
rPHE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
1 Ga, continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTII
at 12j£ cents per yard for plain, and 16 far twills—finding
every material except the wool. The extensive ami
constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed
for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of
Winter Clothing for negroes, made by them, has not been
surpassed by any cloth made North or South.
Recent extensive improvements, and others now lioing
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 ns wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirty or clean. If washed,
it should be 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 machinerjv The name of the owner should be
marked upon every package sent.
Wool sent by 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.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS!
r |WiEKK is great demand for a strong and permanent
JL “ Fertilizer,’’ and experience of late years has prov
en the inefficiency of imported manure’s for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of tho
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a su[>erior fertilizer at moderate cost,
wo have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
eomjiound made at the Highlands. New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATIONAL FERTILIZER." suited to
staples of every section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and tbor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
ready form for assimilation to plant With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large prcqiortions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile clement, a modicum of
Given Shell Marl is useil By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important essentials, Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass Is ultimately made fine, drv, and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, is so compounded by change of these
and other valued ingredients, as to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is hut recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains. Cotton. Vegetables. Ac., and
another siiecitically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane ; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and w hich, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly from the land Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
It is 30 per cent less cost i>erton than Peruvian Guano,
blit requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. Tho National Fertilizer ftilflls the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up' in strong hags
or 200 jioundseach, or in new barrels, all stamped with
Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United
btates. Agents established In all the cities. A fair trial
with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
V LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPER,
Published Weekly, in Augusta, Georgia.
Dr. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor.
W. W. MANN, Literary Editor.
WM. N. WHITE, Horticultural Editor.
Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art It is in
quarto form ol' 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 Farmers,
i it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any
monthly journal of equal merit
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 useftal to Southern Planters and Farmers, 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 are 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. Daniel Lee, 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. Wn. N. White, a skill
ful and experienced cultivator of fruits, flowers, and vege
tables—a w riter 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 line 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.
Teens— Two dollars per annum, in advance.

their patronage and good wishes.
