216 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. East Besmoines, lowa. —[ Country Gentleman. —— 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. Mia - 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. tmm ioifiiii in wmm&mm* AUGUSTA MARKET, NOV, 25, (NOON.'

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. — HTA lady asked her gardener why tho weeds always outgrew and covered up flowers. “ Madame,’ 7 he answered, “the soil is mother of the weeds, but ouly stepmother of the flowers.” i {y Choice Heady-Made Clolhliig.—Gen tlemen visiting Augusta, can find tho newest, and l>est styles of Ready-Made Clothing, Shirts.

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. Respectfully, Yours, A. L.

HALL. 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.

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.
