AGRICULTURAL.
.A Revolution in Farm Culture needed ia
tha Southern States.
Much might be said regarding the mode
of farming ia the South, yet I will contiiie
any remarks to as short tpaee as possible,
Hiving u tew hints, tb.it if judiciously fol
lowed, will compensate the farmer one hun--dmJ
per cent at least, not only in the crops
hut in renovating and enriching the soil.
I'lowing, in the li-st place, hhoull be will
Jone in onler that the soil may be put in
proper condition for a crop. The difference
in tloing it and h tl t doing it is but a trille,
while the one depreciates and the other in
creases the value of the land, say nothing of
the difference iu the vield of crops. Plow
ing bhould never bo less than six inches
deep, and then subsoiled the same depth,
(the deeper the better) particularly clay
oil ami properly top-dressed in order to
get a crop that will compensate a farmer
for his labor. Clover, the greatest renova
tor of the noil, fihojild be sown on all fields
that need rest. Sov not less than ten
pounds to the acre in order that a proper
stand is obtained. In sections where the
.hot weather if liable to scorch and wither
the young plants, sow alone and harrow it
in well, or sow with oats. If sown alone,
the weeds will grow to protect it through
the hot season, and when the weather be
.comes cool enough so that it is out of dan
ger, the weeds may be mown down and left
to decompose.
If clover is sown with oats, when the latter
are ripe they should be cut as high as possi
ble, so that enough straw will be left stand
ing to shed thecloei from the sun's scorch
ing ray.
The writer is well aware that there :-.re
rrctious that are now considered worthless
where clover will not grow, and it will be
necessary to bring such soil up by other fer
tilizers to a certain standard at tirst.
No farmer should till more land than he
tan work well, "for more can be made from
SUO acres of laud well cultivated than 2,000
worked at. I would also speak of the im
portation of clover into the South, at prices
ranging from $1 to $15 per bushel, when
within your own boundaries lie-s many thou
sands of acres whose soil and climate is far
better adapted to clover seed raising, than
any part ot the United States. I allude to
Kast Tennessee, portions of Kentucky, Vir
ginia, West Virginia and Georgia. Should
the yield be not more than one and a half
bushe-ls per acre it would pay better than
raiding wheat, while the yield may reach
7 butdiels per acre. If the season is such
that it will not til well, it can be used for
pasturage or hay, while instead of sucking
up the life of the soil it gives it 95 per cent
of that which is gathered from the atmos
phere. C. S. IJuele, Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Value of the Roller.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, in an
article on agricultural machinery, makes the
following very just remaiks on the use of
the roller. He pa vs :
"Of nil the implements for use upon the
farm, there is no one which tells of greater
benefits than the roihr. It pulverizes the
clods, smooths the surface for the scythe or
the reaper, and compacts the earth about
the need an 1 roots of plants; but above all,
nnd of mole importance than all, it destroys
vermin. That the earth should be made
fn'e is the object of plowing and harrowing.
A roller greatly conduces to this. That
mall stones and rough places should be
driven out of the way of the scythe or
mower, is a desideratum which every farmer
will appreciate, and when his seed is first,
sown, or when the frosty winter or thawing
of the spring have loosened its growth upon
the surface it may be imagined hoxc it would
be benefitted by giving it a bed in tha earth
again.
Uut its most useful purpose is less satis
factorily explained, for its only proof is only
found in the experience of its use. All know
that most of the vermin which afflicts the
farmers' crop ha its resting and often its
breeding place iu the earth ; there, and upon
the young and tender plant, where it de
posits its eggs. The cut-worm destroys corn
at tho surface; the Hessian fly deposits its
gjj upon the young wheat-blade, which
often falls to the ground. .The earth, in
fine, is fully charged with the eggs and the
vrabryo of vermin of all sorts, in all stages,
and in all periods of their existence, and it
may readily be imagined what an amount
of destruction would follow the passage of
a heavy roller over the surface."
Yield of Cotton on W-tu oat Land.
From the Carolina Fairac.
In the autumn of 187 J, 'The Chapel Hill
Agricultural Club" offered a p: emium of a
ailver cup to that member of the Club who
would produce from an acre of "worn-out,
abandoned laud the largest amount ot s ed
cotton. No commercial lVriider of any
kind was to be uned on said acre.
The premium was awarded December lili,
1872, to Kev. J. Pleasants .Mason, wlio.v
acre yielded 1,275 pounds. The second be.-t
erop, that of J. 11. 11., was so fully reported
that perhaps other farmers may be interest
ad in the particulars.
The loi, 70 yards square, was a sandy
loam and had not been cultivated for many
yeara on account of sterility. It was judged
by the committee capable of producing 150
pounds of Feed cotton.
In January twenty loads of rotten straw
were unread and the lot ploughed into ridges
three feet apart with a two-horse plough.
. March 25th Placed in the middle of the
farrows twenty-six loads of compost, formed
f stable manure aud mould, two loads of
nofj-pen rranure and two- loads of leached
ashes. The hog manure and ashes served
lor rows eae.'i.
March 2 7th Midges reversed with one
plough and so remained until 9th of May,
when the lot was planted, using a "Planter"
fin 1 two bushels of seed, Improved Dickson
and another variety mixed. Obtained a
good Hlvtud.
May L'Sth Scraped, chopped out and
arth thrown back to the cotton the same
day.
June 10th Brought to a stand, leaving
fine or two stalks cvriy nine or ten inches
apart, and ploughed with "sweep.''
July eth ''Laid by" with turning plow
withoiit hoeing. Season fair until 18lh of
Jiim? aud no rain from that time uuti 6th
tHe
of August, except a blight shower on the
4th of July.
The crop was ruined by the drought, ex
cept the &ix rows manured with ashes, which
did very well.
Sept. 14th Picked 4S0 pounds; Oct, 1st,
540; Oct. 25, 130 total 1,156 pounds.
Estimated cost of cultivation, exclusive
of picking, $10.25.
Chapel Hill, Dec. 5, 1S72.
How Easily Duttkr is Spoiled. A
farmer's wife writing to the Ohio Farmer
says: "Of ail the products of the farm,
butter is morit liable to be tainted by noxious
odors lloating in the atmosphere. Our peo
ple laid some veal iu tha cellar, from which
a little blood flowed out an i was neglected
until it commenced to smell. The result
was that ajar of butter which I was then
packing, smelled and tasted like spoiled
beef." Another lady reader observes that
there is a pond of filthy, stagnant waiter a
few hundred feet from their house, from
which an oliensive effluvium would be borne
on the breeze directly to the milk-room,
when the wind was in a certain direction,
the result of which was that cream and but
ter would taste like the disagreeable odor
coming from the pond. As soon as the pond
was drained Ave had no more damaged butter.
To Kijep Cidek Sweet. We copy the
following from the New York World, and
would add that no cider, made in the ordi
nary manner, is tit to drink without -filtering:
"A paper of sulphite of lime now sold at
every village apothecary's, will arrest the
fermentation in a barre l of cider aud keep
it sweet ; and a large slice of raw beef will
do nearlvas well; but in either case the
cider should be made from sound apples and
filtered through sand as it runs from the
press. If cider is put in a stove boiler ami
only brought to a boil, that will also pre
vent its acetous fermentation."
237"L!ee on cattle may be removed by
pouting a small quantity of kerosene on the
card with which ti.ey are carded. The ap
plication should b.j treqaetit, though iu
small quantities, til! the. lice all disappear.
Tile lousiest herd lever s;;w was completely
relieved of them in ic-a days by this appli
cation alone.

EOOPIvIANN'S BITTERS.
This invaluable remedy in the following innumer
able diseases,
Cholera Morbus, Dyspepsia,
D ientery, Diarrhoea,
And other kindred Bowel Affections,
CHILLS AND FEVER, &a,
Ilao stood the test of an hundred years, and now
stands unequaled in the Southern States.
As an Appetizer and Stomachic, its powers are
immediately experienced, and so pleasant that it
can not be said to be physic.
Hundreds of families who now use it with un
varying success, have volunteered their certificates
of its merits.
This is no new or untried Medicine, but has been
used in Germany for the last century ; and the recipe
has been in possession of my father's family for GO
years past, and during the last fifteen years these
Bitters have cured thousands of cases in Western
North Carolina, and Northwestern South Carolina.
The Roots aiid Herbs used in its manufacture are
imported by me from Germany, where their medi
cinal virtues are wreil known.
In marshy and swampy districts, where the
malarial influences are so deadly poisonous, tin's
Bitters is the only sure remedy known which will
prevent its attack and insure a freedom from its
poisonous effects.
