Book Farming.

Some people give their knowing heads
toss of contempt at the very idea of book
farming. They want none of your news
paper theories and speculations about farm
ing-no, they! The knowledge which
they possess, comes by intuition. We sup
pose, or the equally respectable and intell''
gent source-radnion. Their fathers knew
how to balance the BACON old dobbn's back,
by loading one side with stone equal in
weight to the grist, on The other side, and
SO do they, wise soms! What good can
such wise acres derive from book or a
newspaper Surely none: Avaunt-all
ye Abercombies and Franklins, ye Loudons
and Powels, yc Cobbets aud Fesseuders, ye
Buels and Colmans-what know ye about
herds and focks, 'labor.saving i'm; lements,
chemical combinations, soils and manures,
sowing and ,illing, fencing aud di'chIng !
is it possible that learned men should know
any thing about the best modes OF husband.
y1
To be serious, however, there can be no
doubt that many of,he theories and sPecu.
lations which have appeared in books and
periodicals., professedly devoted to terra
culture, have failed in point ofpracical u'lli-
ty: but what then? Are we to cast every
fact aside, because it is written out by a
friend to farming, and has found place in
a newspaper No reasonable man will say
this. On every thing else, people have de.
rived benefit from reading the discoveries
and experiments Of others; why should
farmers alone repudiate all information from
such sour.e7 1t is prejudice to do so.--
There are men who have conferred great
benefit on the world by their agricultural
Should they not be honored
But for the art Of printing, how slow would
be the progress OF the various improvements
that have been made? Let US not be so
unreasonable as to indulge in this vain pre-
iudce but let Us all who cultivate the earth,
make, each, what improvement, he can,
and then throw the common stock together,
through the medium Of some agricultural
publisal;.~, for the benefit Of all concerned.
In this way, mutual benefit will be Sc
cured, and much hard labor will often be
saved.

Agricultural Convention Of s.Caroiina.
We rejoice TO see that an agricultural
convention for the state of South Carolina,
is to be held 10 Novembe. next. II zeal.
ously and efficiently carried through, there
is no mitlatory measure more likely to rem.
der service to the declining agricultural and
general interests of South Carolina and no
state in the confederacy needs such aid

bounties of nature, 10 profit by the first

to increase tho gross products four.fold, and
the net product ten or twenty.fold, of all the

tie. And we firmly believe that this i'm.

led wealth, might be secured, by an outlay
Of annual expense not greater than the &C.
tual cost Of fremovol annually incurred by
the thousands of emigrants, from South
Carolina, who are continually desartng
her in her decay, TO seek more fer lie lands
in the new southwestern states. This de-
claration will probably be deemed ridicul.
ously cxtravagan'. Nevertheless it is our
firm belief, founded unon large experiment
and very extensive observation ofthe use
of calcarcous manures in the similar region
oflower Vrginia--though applied there as
yslvsry insuficiently, and generally inju.
dieiously, in almost every case. Where
marling begins, emigration ceases. We are
