MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. Let idle Ambition her hatibles pursue, While Wi-dom looks down wvith disdain, The home of the farmer has charm4 ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." & [F our readers think that there is a falling )fl' in the editorial of this department, in the present issue, we beg their indulgence, while we state a few reasons for the@defi ciency. In the first place, we are very buisy-at. tending to our farming operations. We are fencing, clearing up, reparing tools, fixing gear, and doing every thing in our ppwer to make a crop to suit the hard times. Break ing land, gardening, and a host of other things might be addt d. Another reason is, that we have been neatly dunned to death;-and as we think our brother-farmers are pretty much in the same fix, we know, from experience, that they are almost afraid to read a newspaper, for fear of stunbling ,r, a dun or a notice " to pay up." This grates harshly upon an empty poeket, and in order to soothe and comfort them as much as possible, we are somewhat disposed to give them a short re spite. The last reason we give, is an infe. rence drawn from the old adage, " Touch a manl's money and you touch his heart." As we have no money, of course we have no heart to write. That Farmer's Club. OUR esteemed friend and correspondent, Col. FRAztR, in his piece published some weeks since, spoke of the " Edgefteld Far ners' Club," by the decision of which a Silver Watch was to be awarded, &c., &c. Where is that Club I When will it meet? When will it be organized f A proposition was made by some, some time ago, that we should form a District Agricultural Society. What has become of that .demonstration f Why do our farmers take so litde interest in matters relating to their own advantage? Why do they exhibit so much less energy and public spitit in Edgefield, than it neigh. boring Districts? Will some one please in form us? Work for February. THE following admirable hints, on the work necessary to be accomplished by far. mers during the present month, we pluck frot " The Soil of the South." The re nark upon the time of planting corn, viz: " to plant when you are ready," strikes us as hein" very sensible. There is nothing in the cuiltivat ion of a corn crop that tells more deci-ively upon its fate than ample, careful, cotmplete preparation. Int clay lands espe cially does this assertion hold good, and more especially, if those clay lands be at the sanme time bottom lands. We have known the best of corn crops made upon lowv grounds with one and a half workings after the planting of the seed. Before planting, it was worked twice at least, and very thor oughly. Cortn plantted thus, grows off cheer ingly, makes rapsidlv, suffers less from drouth, and, in nine cases out of ten, gives a more abutndant yield. The same will hold as to clay up-.lands. And we do not see why it should not be egnally true of sandy uplands. At the same timtet however, that we wouldl urge atmple preparation, we would also ad vocate as forward planting as possible. 'Tho distinction we mean to draw is only between late planting with first rate preparation and early planting with very slack preparatiun. The former we think preferable in all cases on bottom land, and in almost every case in uplands, unless it he where the corn crop followvs a tneally cultivated cottont crop. But heed the remarks of the " Soil of thc South." By the first of this montht, the fields should all lbe itn mder for the plowv-logs piled antd burned, fences all repaired, small grain all sowed, plows all in mnotion. Now is the time to put your ground in good condition for cropping. Work slighted now will have to he dotto over, and tnot well done at that, hereafter. It is a wonderful saving of time and trou btle to have every thing int complete order for doinig good work, before the seasotn's plowing is commetnced. See that plow sckplow htoes antd plow gear are all in good trimn in the beginning, anad little painsa will then keep them so. Better post pone the commencement of your operations for a few days, and get every thing in order, than be compelled to stop a plowv after you have begun, to attend to some neglected job. See that every plow boy has his gear wvell fitted to the mule, anid provide him with a curry combt, and require hint to use it. 'The plow team should lbe in goo er to start wtth, and if well cared for, it'should be ini good order when the crop is laid by. It is not so much work, that kills up our mules, as inattention. Let each plow boy have his particular mule, and make him responsible for its treatnmettt. And make him responsi ble for his plow anti plow gear also. Provide him with a place for keeping them, antd see that he keeps thent in place. " Corn is generally planted, in this latitude, durintg the latter half of this month. The generalI impression is, that the sooner corn is planted, if it escapes thre frost, the better the yield. Our observatiotn has been that corn planted about the fifteentlh or twentieth of the month is as likely to escape the frost, as that planted betwveei, the twentieth and the last. No matter, however, whether early or late plantling is the better, don't plant till you are ready to commence. The difficujlty which wei have most frequentlyfobserved in corn planting is, that we are apt to give it too little distantce. One stalk to every sixteen square feet, that is, four feet each way, is close enough on the uplands of this country. If the corn is drilled; the rows should be about five and a half feet apart, and the corn should stantd three feet in the drill. It may look like throwing away land, hut more corn wil be m~a thn if it is planted closer. Even in the river bottoms, we think, corn should never be planted more than twice as thick as this. " The use or a solution of some sort, for soaking the seed before planting, is benefici.. al, not only in protecting the corn from the ravages of insects, but as a stimulus to its early growth: the following is recommended for that purpose. The day before planting, put two pounds of copperas in warm water sufficient to cover one bushel of corn. The next day, take a peck of the corn and mix with it, thoroughly, a pint of sort soap. Thqn stir into it plaster enough to make the grain drop freely." FOR THE ADVERTISER. MESSRs. EDITORS:-Your note, asking "What has become of " FARMER," and has he told all he knew ?" was duly received. Yes, gentlemen, " FARMER" has about told all he knows ; but he wants to Icarn, and is open to instruction at all times, especially in the business of Farming. He rejoices to see that a "Farmers' Department," is, at last, apparently, firmly established in the columns of the " Advertiseri;" and hopes therein to derive much instruction from the model farmers of Edgefield. The object of my present writing, Messrs. EDIToRs, is to learn how to raise Irish pota. toes. I have tried as many as six different plans, within the past few years, recommend. ed by as many different individuals, but I can't succeed with them as others say they do. The best that I can do, is to raise bare ly enough meager little things for Spring and Summer use ; although I follow instructions to the very letter. The plan that I have suc ceed best with, is the pine straw plan, re commended by Col. Sioiss, some years ago. But the difficulty with me, in this plan, is to get a good stand. The straw must he put on pretty thick-from 12 to 18 inches else it won't do any good ; but, then, the po. tatoes won't come up well-foi me. How do you manage to get them up? I also want to learn how to raise water melons. Ah, who would refuse to partake of a nice sweet water-melon on a hot summer day ? It would be hard to find such a per son. Mr. " BAD LUCK" haS told uS how he didn't raise them last year; but that failure was an experiment, I presume. I dare say he can tell us how he did raise them the year before. I can do that much-that is, I can tell how I raised some very fines ones in 1853. The spot was very poor-as poor, I be. lieve, as land ever gets to he-and very small too, being only large enough for twelve hills. I dug large deep holes, and in the bottom of each put a double handfull of hogs' hair, gathered up from where the hogs were cleaned ; then filled up the holes with rich dirt from the woods, packing it down gently and covering it over with a light coating of sand. In this latter item, I had the idea of Mr. " BAD LucK ;" for I thought the sand would keep the hills from baking. Every body knows that a first year's new ground is a good place for water-melons. T[hat fact induced me to pbt in the dirt from the woods. I could tell you what induced me to put in the hair, but am afraid you would laugh at the idea, and therefore, I will leave it for you to guess. If there was any benefit in it, you can explain it better than I can. But I assure, (whatever may have been the cause,) the seeds came up unusually quick, and the vitnes flourished amazingly, and bore aundagy of as fine, sweet melons, as I ever sawv anywhere. Not a bug or othmer enemy of melon vines was ever seen about them. They continued to bear throughout the whole Summer, and supplied us with plenty of fruit. Last year I was too lazy I to take any pains with my melons, and the' onsequence was, I had none fit to be eaten. FA RMER. REMIAtKs.-WVe have also beetn muCh troubled with bad stands of Irish Potatoes, n all our experiments; but gtil lately have weo learned how to obviate the difficulty bout getting a good stand. Platnt your potatoes with matnure to your own taste, and I let them stand with a light covering of earth, ntil they are fairly up, then give them a od wvorking and mulch them with straw r leaves to the depth of ten or twelve in- I hes, and we doubt not entire success. It requires the warmth of the sun to bring up the sets, and wvhen mulched in planting the1 sun cannot reach the set with a heavy coat ing of straw over it. A great many of the I sets thus perish or rot, and all are retarded. The Science of Gardening, As a science calculated to sustain the high importance of horticulture. Botany has been long considered as worthy the at. tention of the learned ; but the garden has been left to the control of suhordinary tal-. ent. And while every expense is lavished in importing and fostering even the wvorth less weeds of foreign count:ies, our conserv atories, as well as gardens and orchards, are too often found to lie little better than ex hibitions of deformity, disorder and prema ture decrepitude. If it be thought worth while to enquire what is the cause of such a state of things, may it not be answered that botany is generally understood to com prise nothing more than a knowledge of the exterior construction and the classifica tion of plants; and, that it therefore affords no other occupation for the mind, than the study and application of dry rules and ta bles; that the garden is considered as ad ministering to the animal functions only; and that its productions are regulated and determined by a mysterious art, a knowledge of which can be attained onily by a labori ous attention to coarse and unpleasant mat ters, and is therefore, unworthy the occupa tion of a delicate and cultivated mind. But whatever may be saidl of botany, it must surely be admitted, that such an opinion of horticulture is founded on a most deplora.. ble error. What seience presents a- moret extended and varied occupation for the mind than the physiology of plants ? What more healthful amusement than their cultivationi And what can afford a mnore delightful and independent gratification than ther produc tions? However elaborate and conclusive may have been the works of botanists; how. ever successfull the practical gardeners in their productions, it is tneverthelest, obvious, I that these two departments of horticulture are very imperfectly connected ; for although origainal p..incaile or cae,aye well toderstood and explained, and the most s'at sfactory effect partially produced, a due [iowledge of horticulture cannot be said to ,xist, unless the progess or laws of nature, which lead from cause to effect, and con iect the one with the other, be understood mnd elucidated. Is it not to be desired, that :nieory and practice he united? Surely it is! 'ransplanting Trees, Roses, Shrubs and Evergreens. From an article recently published, we ob. erve that November is recommended as the proper season to transplant fruit trees. Some seasons this rjonith would do, but the present year the transplanting of fruit trees would bave been extremely hazardous, as we have not as yet, in middle South Carolina, had a liost sufficiently severe to check vegetation ompletely. Our young trees and roses took such a strong growth after the extreme hot weather ceased, that it will take, at least, till the twenty-fifth of November to fit them for transplanting. A tree should never be taken up whilst it will visibly shrink upon removal. We have no criterion in the dropping of the leaves of the forest trees, as the origin of forest trees is so .various that many kinds reqire a certain degree of cold to stop their growth. Young nursery trees, too, being well cultivated, hold their leaves longer and grow more luxuriantly than fruit-bearing trees in orchards-so the proper time to trants plant is, whenever the juices of the tree be come inactive. A dry summer, with an ex treme degree of heat, followed by a delight ful and seasonable autumn, prolonged into the heart of winter, has with us added a third more wood of late growth to trees, and has at the same time delayed the season for transplanting. In South Carolina, we find no difficulty in triisp! iting trees and shrubbery from No. vember 25 to as late in the Spring as we can retard the leaves. Trees should never be touched when the soil is frozen. The milder and drier the weather in winter, the better the success will be had. We dig our holes after pl)wing the land, as deep as we can twelve inches deep, and at least five feet in diameter. We half fill the holes with good rich vegetable compost, broken bones, &c., and then place the tree in its proper position, the earth in the hole being a little more ele rated immediately under the trunk. We then place the roots so that they are arranged in every pait of the hole, when it is filled up ,aretilly with a bimilar compost. The tree should not be planted more than an inich deeper than it stood in the nursery. When the hole is about three parts filled, we pour iently around the stem about five gallons of water, after which the operation is finished y completely filling it up, and making a light mound around the trunk. We never mck in the earth around a tree, as the wa ering will consolidate it sufficiently around he roots to inake it grow. This watering vill be all the tree will require, if it be prop rly inlched with leaves, straw, sawdust, or ild tan-bark. If trees have been long out of ie ground, the roots should be well soaked ix hours before planting, and we have fre. Iently revived such as were to all appear nces (lead, by buryimg them entirely in the rth for ten days, after having restored vi ality to the bark by soaking them in water. l'he trunks of all newly transplanted trees hould lie protected from the sun. A bunch >' broom sedge, so common every where in lie South, if properly tied around them, is le best means of doing so. We head in all rees severely, no matter how fine the roots nay he prepared for remtoval, one year pre riously, by cutting in both thteir heads and -oots lbut, at best, the removal of large trees t the South is hazardous and unprofikable. Bakes to trees are useless. When a tree vill tnot -stand erect, it should be mianured ud cut in till it acquired sufticient vigor to tanid as a tree. Tlhe knife anid food is all a ree requires to keep it erect and vigo~rous. Until newvly plaitted trees are firmly rooted, hey shtould lie regularly insp~ected and straightened up. W hen watering is nec essa ry, the earth should be removed for a fewv iches from the tree, .and the wvater poured ,rently around the trunik, till the earth in the ~iciiaty of the roots absorbs it. This should ec done in the evening to be effective, and he small hole made should he carefully filled p the next day b~y sunrise, wvith loose mello w arth, tafier which the mulching should be lace-d around the tree. When thme buds of newly pltanted tree are dormant and late trtinig, we have frequetntly found that an dditionial watering of te limabs and trunk innediately roused them into active growth. ni fact, by wrapp~inig the stemn and limbls of a 'aluable pear tree, the roots of which had een destr,,yed by rats on shipboard, with -ags, and regularly mnoidting them, we pre erved thes variety, and induced the tree, whi-h had not a vestige of fibrous roots left, o live and flourish. Ilt is -now tas vigorous s5 need be, anid its roots have spread as wide y as its top). For tranisplantti ng roses, evergregrts, and brhbery, we would advise the deep andi borough pireparation of the soil throughout he whole plat, ad then plant much in the amo mannmer as directed abovo for fruit rees. Roses and decididious shrubs, and uch evergreenis as do niot belong to the ;oiferw and cypress families, should have heir heads well cut in. The Pinaces, em rcing the stihorders of Abietee and Cu. >resserc, and in wvhicht are comprised the Firs, Cedars, Arborvitae, Cypresses, larches and lhl resinous evergreen trees together wtith he yews, do not require much pruning, when ranslanted, as it must b~e donia whena the rees are very small. The holly, both native and foreign, and which under proper culture s a beautiful erergreen tree, requires great utting in wvhen transplanted. All land be 'ore plamnting trees should he thoroughly Irained. We receive so many queries as to these higs, that our leisure will not permit us to nswer each dorresponadenit seperately, hoew ver much we might be inclined to do so. ie, therefore embody the above hints anld sk the newspapers of the State to give them mlcity, as mutters of getneral interest to heir readers.

The Ilydromagen I., in the form of a sole, and worn inside the boot or shoe. Its medicated character Is a powerful an Idoic to disease. For Gentlemen it will be found agreeable, warm, and healthy, to wear In the coldest or rainest weather, as the f*e" cannot become wet if the Hydromagen Is Inserted. Ladies may wear the lightest soled oots or shoes in the most in clement weather with impunity; white Consumption, so revalent among the young of our c.untry, may be thwarted by their general adoption. They entirely evprsede over hoe, as the latter cause the fiet to perspire - a very un healthy manner; and, besides. are not dangerous wear to gedestrians In icy weather, like India rubbers. While the ter cause the feet to appear extremely large the dro magen, being a ,r.ere thin slice of cork p ,e pecd. y placed Inside, does not increase the slze f the bot, or cause the fiol to appear untidy. To Children they are ex tremely valuable, as they mav engage in exercise with cons fort and healthy etfeets. ''heir expense is so slight as to scarce need mention; besides, those who patronize them. w11 find their yeaRy doctor's bl muchi diminised Aere, As the Hydromagen is becoming more known, its sale is increasing to an almost incredible extent.
