From the t-outnern Planter.
SML'T.
Mr. Eiiitor—Tliere iias been an unusual
prevalence of smut in many of the wheat crops
of parts of this and the adjoining county of
Buckingham, at the last harvest; and as blue
vitriol affords a convenient, certain and cheap
remedy, l : some weeks ago, promised several
f iwihls ti) furnish, lor the September number of
thi Southern Plante-, a short art'tle describ
ing the mode of using it. It was deemed de
sirable that it should eppear in the September
number, in order to give time to those who
might wish to iry it, to obtain, in good season,
a sufficient supply of the vitriol, as it is sel
liomJ'iuni!. in country stores, in quantities
sufficient lor agricultural purposes. An ab
sfnoe of thro" w>eks from home, to which I
re urned but a f w days since, niust be my n.io
-1 jgy loi Bending it to you so nearly upon the
ijsue of your monthly publication.
1 vrili mention, in ilie outset, as a necessary
preliminary, ttiui ilie wheat intended for seed
should he made as clean as a good wheat-fun
ctiii muke it. Then the operator, having
provided himself with an iron pot, in which to
dissolve Hie blue vitriol, and a vessel ol suita
ble capacity for the wheat to be steeped in,
liny proceed hi the fjliowing manner: Dis
solve five p ju:id:! ol blue vitriol ill hot water,
und add a 6 much cold water as will entirely
cover five bushels of wheat, which should be
geudv poured in, or, what is better, be pass
ed thiouuh a rjcJuie in order that the light and
defective grains may float on the surface and
be skimmed oil'. After being repeatedly eiir
led Mid cleaned of light grume, let it remain
in Hie liijuor from lour to six hours—but may
remain twelve hours, or longer, without injury.
It is , tii.-n, to be taken ou', drained and lolled
in plasti ,; or il ihit is not ut hand, may be
t-pieuij upon a floor, and, with occasional
siirri.ii, diied sufficiently for mowing.
i A se, oud five bushels may then be putin
th* liquor, (10 which as much water should be
previously added as will supply the loss of
quantity. or volume, occasioned by absorption
«'f the nr-t proceeding in the same
man ler tts at first} and after it a third, but
somen h it le>» quantity may follow, it id nut
deemed iidvisalile to reduce the strength ol the
.solution too iiiu h, and it is important that the
liquor should rise at least haif an inch above
tlis suifice of ihe wheat, when first put in, as
the sv, tiling of the grain will, in a tew hour-,
luise it to toe surface, lie fore a fourth parcel of
wheat is put ir, ail additional portion of the
vitriol—<iissolved as before directed —at ilie
rate of u pound of vitriol for every three bush
els ci * in at must be given, with the necessary
quantity of cold water; and so proceed until
tin- liquor tjecoinss foul or turbid, when afresh
preparation must be made.
i he foregoing 1 consider the most conveni
ent, and 1 huve, in repented trials, iound it to
be the most certain of all me remedies for
smut 1 have ever tried or heard suggested, it
is also a cheap remedy. The blue vitriol can
l e bought, for agricultural purposes, in quan
tities of twenty five pounds, at ten cellls per
pound. 1 know at leust that Messrs Adie &.
'"ay and .Mr. U.K. Duval of Richmond, will
furnish it at that pr.ee. The cost thertforc,
will be less iriau four cents per bushel; but ii
those who may give it a lair trial do not find
in an increased vigor of growth and product ol
healthy grain iiiorj than double compensation
for uii ihe cost and labor of the preparation,
their experience will greatly difitr with mine.
Respectfully,
i our most obedient servnnt.

riol as a remedy fur sniut in wheat. It is ve
ry simple, nnd at the same time verv effectual,
as the experience of every farmer, in this sec
tion, goes to prove, Irom a use and test of at
least twelve or fifteen years. The following
is the mode and manner in which it is used and
applied with us.
Dissolve in water, sufficient to cover or
swim the wheat well, one pound blue vitriol
toi every four, (some farmers add five) bushels
seed wheat; let the wheat remain in this soak
eighteen or twenty hours; take out and sow
immediately, or before the wheat becomes too
much swollen, and you may rest assured there
will net be one head ofsmut in the crop grown
fiom seed soaked in this way, however, much
the crop may have suffered from which the
seed was taken.
Some of the farmers are of opinion this soak
will effectually eradicate chess and cockb-.—
But of this lam not so suie. That it is an ef
fectual remedy against smut, if properly ap
plied, there is not the shadow of a doubt.—
The wheat may be put in the soak at the same
time as the blue stone, or allow the blue stone
to dissolve, and then apply it.
Very respectfully yours,
R. Stewart.
An "excited" young gentleman, to show his
agility, jumped Irom the express train going at
the rate ol forty miles an hour, on the Fileh
burgh road, a day or two ago, and the last seen
of him he wus going "flip flaps" at seventeen
huodred revolutions a minute, while the air
was choe.k full of dicky strings, gaiter boots,
hair and torn linen.
New Article ok Commerce.—We notice
that parties are getting out at this point and
freighting by the ship Great Britain, a cargo
of spars—destined, as we learn, lor different
ports in India. It is supposed bv many, that
ship spars of the largest size and best quality,
can be procured in Oregon, for the,market of
India,at a less price than those cost which were
procured in Ausiria. This cargo is sent as an
experiment, which we trust will prove suffi
ciently successful to induce a permanent busi
ness.— Oregonian.
Homicide.—A fight occurred at Raleigh,
Smith county, Miss., on the night of the 6th
nit , between Cornelius Sullivan and John
I'urnbough, which resulted in the death of the
latter, ihe parties hud previously quarreled,
und on the night in question Sullivan revived
the old quarrel, and slabbed I'urnbough in
two places. He fled, but was captured tho
ntxt day.
The Arrests at Havana.—lt is stated
that among the arrests ut Havana were a gray
headed woman, eightj-two, and her two grand
daughters, one nineteen and the other sixteen,
who were cair.ed to the prisons with their
hands lashed behind them, and in a state of
semi-nudity, merely on suspicion of concealing
the father ci the latter.
If you wish to make hens lay, tie a stout
string round their body, and lay the bird upon
its side upon a board and fasten the string un
derneath. You can then put u pillow under its
head if you wish- Hens secured in this
manner will lay for any desired length of
time.
If one ounce of powdered gum trajacanth,
and the white of six eggs well beaten is ap
plied to a window, it will prevent the rays ol
the sun from getting in.
Said a bed-bug to a mosquito, whom he
chanced to meet -. 'How is it you make out to
extract so much more of life's current than
myself, when I can bite as severely as you?—
How can you explain it?' 'For particulars,
see small bills,' quoted the mosquito with
dignity.

it all, my eough left me. Permit me also to state
that, lor the last fifteen yrars. I have suffered very
