"i Immigration Wo suggest the above heading as per haps the most important subject, which the Patrons of Husbandry in our County, can tako'hold of. There are many farms in Orangeburg County, upon which there is uotn sijigjc!l|ibprer, owing to the passion of tbetfreedmen for owning or renting land?and this state of things is becoming more serious each yenr. Immigration is the best (and only) remedy for this state of thing:-, and we feel sure that the matter has only to be discussed at the monthly meeting of the Granges, to convince every thinking fur mer"~~Tti3 a most remarkable thing that just as wo have reached (politically) what appears to us the "bottom," immi grants should, for the first time, appear anxious to settle among us, and solve our difficulties. Patrons, if there is anything in these suggestions, (and it is desired to do anything this year) remember the time is short?every day is important! For information, write to the Editor of the Charleston "Zeitung" Mr. F. Melchers. Do a lings with Workmen. One of the greatest growing evils (in this ago when their uunio is legion) with fanners of Illinois have to contend, is the very gouernl practice of our employes to obtain the highest posible wages and perform the least amount of work. For one, I am trying a remedy, which, if| generally practiced, would, in my opin ion, improve the class of help referred to. An uncle in Onondago Co., N. Y.. many years since, hud two men hired for the season, who began to idle away much of their time as baying was about to cera mence, evedently with the intention of| getting discharged, thbat they might ob tain higher wages elsewhere. As there was a scarcity of men out of employment., my uuclo felt under the necesity of keeping those be bad and make the best he could of it. F. G, Jcwett, afterwards Judge of the Court of Appeals of the State, was counsellor, and advised to keep an account ns near as possible, each day; of the lack in doing a fair day's work, and in .settlement to de duct proportinnlly from the wages agreed on* His recomendation was followed: of course the employes "breathed forth tbreaU-nings," and that was all. We ought at oucc to adopt this remedy here. Inr marketing our products, none of us would claim full pay, if weight or measure was found to be short; no one would call in question our obligation to correct mis takes of this kind: and if men hire to work for a given price, the fact is as fully implied that they are to perform faithful work, ns to receive a given sum of good money.., Genera! attention to this subject by farmers' clubs and granges, followed with individual action, would, in my opinion', vastly improve the quality of help in one year?in fact it seems that very shortly it would be here ns in Europe, men would stand on their merits, and be required, on getting a situation, to produce recomendation for faithfulness from previous employer?a practice which' 1ms several good features to com mend it, and is free from any objections. samuel EiiwAiws.?Princeton. iii. Jf?, j-v _ From a Farm Kit's Son.?I wish you knew bow much I have enjoyed the pc rusnl of your paper; also what a sou reo of troublo its teachings have been to me ,.Puradoxical ns this may seem, it is even bo. Much lias been .said and written about sons remaining on the farm, but the half has never been told concerning trials: neither can it be by those who have never?experienced them. When parents never read concerning their business, and call ali that is printed on agriculture "book farming" and "nonsence," and re fuse to be convinced, what, is one to do? Also, When neighbors spend their time in playing enrds, dancing and backbiting each other, instead of trying to inform themselves upon the progress made in their own calling, and upon tho great questions of the day, it is hard for one who does not do these things, to get along among them, a. Paris Green for tho Cotton Worm. J. R. Maxwell of Alabama reports to the Southern Farmer that ho has been "successful in tho use of Paris green on the cotton worm. I had one hundred acres of cotton ou swamp land that would have been ruined, but on their first appearance I commenced on them. I put eight hands on mules, with two-gallon watering pots and ten more bauds and two wagons engaged in keeping them supplied with water and poison, and went over my cot ton twice; up one side of a row and down the other, going thus twice to each row. Poison, labor and all cost me about three hundred dollars. It has saved me at the vesy least, twenty bales of cotton. I used the poison by putting to each caufull of water half a tabiespoouful of poison and three tablespoons of Hour; stirring it well. I tried it first without Hour, but every shower would wash all the poison oil'." Another Alabama farmer writes to the Southern Cultivator, that he used it on fifty acres at a cost for the poison of G8 cents' per acre. Ho sifted it upon the plants from a sifter on the end of a long handle." He found the best time to be when dew was ou tho plants. He waited until the leaves were considerably per forated, and yet his crop was estimated by experts to he injured only ten percent. In tho Rural Carolinian for December^ \V. P. Reese, Selma Ala., in auswar to several questions, &a}s that Paris green kills ih2 cotton worm invariably, when properly applied. Furthermore he says it pays twenty limes over to use the poi son for this purpose; that it does not in jure the cotton plant, nor is its use neccs* rarily dangerous to the person useing it. The cotton worm bus long been a scourge to southern planters and if Paris green will destroy the worm when pro perly applied, as it docs the Colorado po tato beetle, it is to be hoped that southern papers will publish the remedy far and wide; thus rendering more certain one of the staple crops of the United States. A student at Princeton believes in "a place for every thing and every thing in its place;" so he nailed his slippers to the wall about four feet up, and all he has to do at evening is to wheel his easy chair in position and insert his feet therein. Califonia agriculturists are going large ly into ginger. They haven't got much beyond the first syllable yet, but hope to do so when their plants germinate. A man advertises for a competent per son to undertake the suloo^a new medi cine, and adds that "it will prove highly lucrative to the undertaker."
