BY SIEKfINS, DURISOE & CO. AGRICULTURAL & DOMESTIC. --0 PREPARED WITE AN EYE To Season and Latitude. Cut Wheat Early. Every one will be apt to do so this season. It is a satisfaction to be assured that it is the best plan, both for quantity and quality of flour. The following arti cle, whose authorship we are not apprized of, treats the subject very intelligently. Read it with care and decide, each man for himself: . "oPER TIME FOR CURING WHEAT. ---b rou a very careful series of experi ments made in England, in 1840-1841, by Mr. John Hannan, of Yorkshire, with the view of determining the proper period of reaping wheat, it was decided that the best time for performing the operation is, when it is in a "raw" state, or when the straw, as seen from a distance, appears green, but, closely examined, is found t( be approximating to yellow, and the grain itself, being separated from the chaff, is pulpy and soft, but not in the milky stake This gentleman has shown that at least six dollars per acre are lost by allowing the wheat to become ripe be fore it is cut, and that, at the same time, its quality is not so good. ' he chief advantages derived frcm this method are stated to be a greater weight of grain to a given space of ground, which produces more flour, of a superior quality ; the straw contains more nutri tive matter, and is better relished by ani nials ; and there is a better opportunity of securing the crop, and a saving in so doing, as there is less waste in moving or reaping the wheat by the dropping out of the seed. Like all other operations in the vegeta. be economy. the ripening of the seed c->nsists entirely of various chemical pro. cuases, the nature of which need not be explained here, but the result should be carefully considered, in order to arrive at a conclusion as to the modifying influ ences of different modes of culture. When an ear of wheat first fills, it appears al. most entirely composed of a substance resembling milk; in about a week or ter. days after this, if we examine the crop, we shall find the seed much more solid. the milky juice having hardened and con solidated, and the straw having begun t< wither, which it always does from the ground to the ear. At this period, the straw will he vellow for about a foot above the ground ; in another week or ten days the crop will be perfectly ripe: that is to say, the straw will be uniformly yellow up to the car, and the chaff will be sufficiently loose to admit of the grail being rubbed out by the hands. On ex amnining the ear, the most perceptible d ference which has taken pelace since th. last period will be that the skin will hay becemfe much thicker and harder, whih tho flour will be diminished in quantity Now, this is the important point, namely. that the last chanage in the seed is an ex cess of bran, and a relative diminution of flour, which change increases materially according to the length of time whicl: elapses between the ripening and the har vesting the crop). From the above i would appear, then, that it is the farmner's interest to cut hi wheat before it become thoroughly ripe. Itis to be hoped that our farmers ivil attend to every thing this, season that can be made to go towards increasing supplies for man and beast. Let them not trample uader foot any thing that can possibly be used. Generally our wheat straw is thrown away entirely. If saved according to the above plan, it is by no means worthless. Save it at any rate. in rail pens webi covered. It will help some. H owever abundant the grain crop, let us hushcamn the whole of it caref'ully ; there is no tel ling how much we may need it. Very Seasonbie Advice. In the Dollar Newspaper ap pear some good hints on Corned Beef. We copy them and advise particular attention to the subject. Many beeves will be killed this year to eke out our home rations. It is well to know how to cure and cook them. Says the authority before us: " There are two or three things to be done in order to procure this great luxury of the table In the first place, then, do not get your meat too salt, it makes it tough and tasteless. Do not allow -it to remain over two weeks in the first brine. for it takes up all the blood that was in the meat, and consequently ought to b.. drained off as the meat will be much more likely to be injured than it will whlena separated and, replaced with fresh made brine, but more especially in warm weather. In this way it will keep with just sufficient salt 'to season it. In the second place, the cooking is of just as much importance as the corning ; it should be boiled at least four hours, or until it can be cut and eaten as readily as a piece of soft bread. Not one half of the domes tics cook their meat long enough. Try it once, and you will see the difference. My meat prepared in this way can be eaten with a relish, and is easily digested. giving nourishment and strength + body. But fried meats, or - the cooked, cannot be pror- meats haltf masticated for th- grly prepared or and are arn ., action of the stomach. eles"' ...ng the most indigestible arti .a. nourishment. Some persons are always in too much of a hurry, or too lazy to chew their food, thereby favoring their teeth, and throwing the responsibili ty on their stomachs. .Frequent abuses of this important organ develop disease and the individual is said to have dyspep. sia with all its attendant evils. Therefore, spar, not the cooking ; you will have the least chewing, and the full advantage of the food. RncIPE.-To every hundred pounds of beef take of salt 5 lbs., saltpeter, t oz., sugar, 1 lb. Dissolve in sufficient water to cover the meat." " Untie the Hame-String." This is the motto of an article in the last Cotton Planter by G. D. H ARnno. Within a few years we have heard of two cases of death in this District from being dragged by the gear of work hor. ses. Read and heed Mr. HARMox's ad. vice: DR. CILO-.Dear Sir :-Let me ask your readers, planters, managers, one and all, never, under any circumstances, what ever, permit a plowman to get upon the back of a mule or horse to or from the field, with the laarestring tied. If you do you will stand a good chanice to have him or her thrown from the mule, and their feet hanging ini the trace chains, nd contented. The history of insurrec ions prove that its leading spirits have all i teen negro mechanics. Drinking Impure Water. It is a good rule to drink water fresh rom the spring or well, every time you teed it, and only when you really need it. [he evil of keeping water on hand, espe. ially in confined rooms, is thus shown ip by one who seems to know what he is alking about: "Set a pitcher of iced water in a room, nhabited, and in a few hours it will have tbsorbed from the room nearly all the espired and perspired gases of the room, he air of which will have become purer, >ut the water utterly filthy. This de. )ends on the fact that water has the facul. y of condensing and thereby absolving nearly all the gases, which it does without ncreasing its own bulk. The colder the vater is, the greater itr capacity to con ain these gases. At ordinary tempera. ures a pint of water will contain a pint >f carbonic acid gas, and several pints of immonia. This capacity is nearly doubled >y reducing the temperature to that of ce. Hence water kept in the room awhile s always unfit for use, and should be often -enewed, whether it has become warm or tot. And for the same reason, the water n a pump stock should all be pumped tut in the morning before any is used. rhat which has stood in the pitcher over tight is not fit for coffee water in the norning. Impure water is more injuri. aus to health than impure air, and every ne should provide the means of obtaining resh pure water for all domestic uses." 4 . CORn ! CoRs !!-No one can compute, emarks the Macon Telegraph, the disas er and misery which will come upon us s a people, should we fail to produce this ear the most abundant grain crop-not uch crops as have been called abundant eretofore-but such a yield as will ad nit of waste in the ordinary operations f war, and perhaps some considerablke estruction from the enemy. A short rop or a failure may be our ruin as a eople, for we cannot starve and fight. . scanty corn crop is far more to be Ireaded than anything our enemy can do o injure us. The planter who is insane y ne'glecting his corn crop tfr cotton now, s unwittingly fighting the battles of Lin. :oln. A good hand in the field is worth ,s much to our cause as a good soldier in he ranks, and the planter who is using a undred suoh hands to produce only corn nough to feed them is striking a fell blow ,t the cause of his country. If you are ot sure you are doing your part towards ,n abundant corn Lror, set about it now n God's name. One of our correspon lents says "plow up the cotton." Yes! low it up, if need be. Look out for orn first, last and all the time. A Cheap Dessert. The Southern Literary Messenger sug. vests the following as a cheap dessert for amp life. It might be if' the cream were end ily procurable, and tin pan were sub tituted for tureen. Lay half a dozen crackers in a tureen; >oor enough boiling water over themi to over thmem. Irn a fe~w miinutes they will ,e swollen to three or four times their riginal size. Now grate loaf sugar and little nutmeg over thiem, and dip on nough sweet cream to make a nice sauce; ,nd you have a delicious and simple des. ert that will rest lightly upon the stom-. ch-u.nd it is so easily prepar'ed. Leave >t the cream, and it is a valuable recipe o'r sick room cookery. For Colic in ilorses. Try this; Take 3 oz. tobacco, in small >its: I dr. red pepper; 1t gal, boiling rater; mix and simmer on coals ten min-. Etes, or till the properties of the medicine re extracted. Administer by injection rith half pint syringe. Repeat every min. te till relieved. Useful Soap. A soap for chapped hands is thus made nd said to be excllent: Takeone bar of yellow soap, cut it up mall, aidd to it the gall of a beet; puLt it ver the fire until the soap is entirely lelted, (a farina kettle is the most conve ient to melt it in;) then add one ounce f fine pulverised saltpetre and one pint f alehohol; pour it into a vessel previ usly greased, of a size to ima~ke the soap t least one inch thiick. Wh len firm nioughm to cut, before it hardenis, cut it in. >cakes of a convenient size. This soap ill be found excellent four taking grease ~ots out of woolens and silks, and is a ipital preventive of chapped hands. Recipes for the llousewife.

Nut one in fifty a ever think of the danger to which they t expose the negro's fifteen hundred dollar t life by allowing him to ride his mule with the hame string tied. It is an easy matter to take this precaution, and thus if the plow man should be thrown from his mule, f geer and negro all come to the ground together, and no harm done. If you will lay down the rule, and explain to the ne. groes how much danger to which they will expose themselves in violating it, and thenr whip the first rascal that disobeys the or- t der, then you will have very little trouble to enforce the law. I make it the duty of the driver of the plow negroes to call out at taking out time, " all hands to their hame-strings." t If I had thought to adopt this system the first day I took charge of a plan tation, I would beyond all doubt, have saved the life of one valuable negro wo man. He Advocates the Grasses. Our old and esteemed friend of the American Cotton Planter -takes us up t with much force on the subject of growing s grasses at the South. Dr. CLOUD is a 1 practical man and we have no notion of hitching horns with him on this or any r other agricultural topic. Having said r our say, we give room for his,-or at least i the chief portion of it. We hope he is entirely right, and are glad to hear that his experience has justified his reasoning. Let him speak for himself. After a few remarks setting aside our notion that blue c grass, timothy and clover were the chief grasses, the DOcron goes on to says: "But we must take issue with our friend r as to the other grasses, and though we t shall not at all disparage timothy or blue u grass, they are not all or even the best grasses that grow. Every country has its Flora, even as its Fanna, acclimated and adapted to its wants. Who has proved r that timothy and blue grass arc more c nutritious or handsome, as hay or on the i field, than our Bermuda or Crop grass, (that great enemy to cotton, gen'l green ?) Did you ever see, my dear sir, an acre or a field of cultivated crop grass? We nave, with a dressing of one hundred and t .ifty pounds of best manipulated guano to I the acre, which fell under the scythe three i feet in length; making as good and nu- c -ritious, sweet hay as was ever mowed. Of the Bermuda, Mr. Affleck says that no t grass makes better hay and our experience I -atisfactorily confirms, to our own judg- e -iient, the opinion. So much then for our a hay resources, to say nothing of Crew foot r end other natives. But these grasses a ,row in the wildest luxuriance, not in patches merely, or damp places, on the a .>ranch side, but by the plantation ! from -arly A pril till hoar frost, and all the timee mder the hoof of the mule, milch cow, and hog,-like one continued green carpet >ver the high dry hill and down to the 'ranch. But this perfection is on cultiva. .ad soil! It is a great mistake, my dear friend, to suppose that the " sun shines C too long and fiercely during our summerr ~easons" for good grass. The fimult is in .he shiacklinr, scratching seooters and hovels, and other little trifling one horse :mitation plows. Getyou sonie fine, don. 'le horse Brinley's, that will go into your high, dry Horn's Creek and Turkey Creek 1ills, eight inches, and then follow'in that !nrrow~ with a good su b-soil, ten inches leeper, drawvn by a strong teamr, and there vou find the sun does not shine too long etoo fiercely scorching for grass. Now this is demonstrative with us; we are feed ing to our mules native home-made hay. that we would not exchange for Kentucky blue grass or timothy from New Englnnd, and inifinitely rpcrio r to fodder! And the last summer as dry as it was, we chad our cultivated hay mowed three times, 1 producing over three tons per acre. * * * . * e0 " We can gr-ow, as successfully as wve can growv cotton, all the clover, giass and grain we nteed to raise our mules, horses, eattle and hogs here at home and no being indebted to Kentucky blue grass or New Englanid timothy. Well now, Colonel, this is the "grass culture" that we desire a to have our planters introduce and engage in.

DoMEsTIC DUTrIEs.-A knowledge ofdo. mestic dutiesis beyond all price to a woman Every one of our sex ought to know how to sew, and knit, and mend, and cook, and superintend a household. In every situa tion of life, high or low, this sort of knowl edge is of great advantage. There is no o necessity that the gaining of such informa- g tion should interfere with intellectual ac- w quiremnents or elegant accomplishments. e A well regulated mind can find time to " attend to all. When a girl is nine or ten years old, she should be accustomed to gi take some share in household duties, and in to feel responsible for the manner in which her part is performed, such as her. - mending, washing the cups and . ,w them in place, cleaning sil..

PATIENCE IN M31.Ko.-A writer in the Ohio Farmer says that a cow was cured of holding up her milk by paticht ly milking until she ceased to hold it; and by continuing the practice, she has become an easy, regular milker, and a good cow. WASuIZo ParN5Ts.-To wash priuts, delaines and lawns, which will faide by using soap, make a starch water similar for starching prints; wash in two waters without any soap, rinse in clean water. If there is green in the fabric, add a little alum to the starch water. NEGO MECHANc.-A late number of the Georgia Weekly contains an article upon the subject of " Protection for the White Mechanic." The leading porposi tion is that "no negro, free or enslaved, should be taught the mechanic arts, from this forth forever', nor should any negro be brought into this Republic to labor as an artizan or mechanic of any grade whatever." The proposition is sustained by many cogent and forcible arguments. It is contended by the Editor, that it would increase the strength of our " pecu liar institution" at home, by enlisting non- I slaveholders in its behalf, and that the b mechanical arts would rapidly progress, o nd rende the naen monre induntrinous , To PRESERVEr: STRAwDERRIEtS OR RASP :ERRIES, FoR CREAMS OR ICES, WITHOUT 3oILI.-Let the fruit be gathered in the :niddle of a warm day, in very dry weath. ,r; strip it from the stalks directly, weigh it, turn it into a bowl or deep pan, and bruise it gently; mix with' an equal weight )f fine dry sifted sugar, and put it inne diately into small wide.necked bottles; cork these firmly without delay, and tie bladders over the tops. Keep them in a cool place, or the fruit will ferment. The mixture should bestirred softly, and only just sufficiently to blend the sugar and the fruit. The bottles must be perfectly dry, and the bladders, after having been cleaned in the usual way, and allowed to become nearly so, should be moistened with a lit tle spirit on the side which is to be next the cork.
