NUrRrrlvE QUALITIES OF CHARCOAL.

Though the Importance of mixing Char
coal with the food of animals, particularly
that of swine, has been generally acknow.
edged, ard lis benefits extensively tes;cd,
still j, has bren supposed that it only acted
as corrective to the acid tndency oi food,
and facilitated faleDing, by improving the
health of the animal. Some experiments
are, however, on record, which would seem
10 show that charcoal acts more important
part in the mailer, than has usually been as.
signed to It.
In 1893, family being driven from New
York by the fever, were absent about SIX
or eight weeks before it was deemed Pru.
dent TO return. A number of fowls conhn.
ed in a loft in the workshop Of the house
were forgotten at the time Of leaving, and
as it was known there was nothing provided
for their subsistence, it was expected on the
return, they would be found starved to
death. To the asonishment Of all, the
fowls were found alive and fat, though there
was nothing upon which they could have
fed, excep, quantity of charcoal and shaw.
ings; water being supplied from the grind
stone through.
These facts coming 10 the knowledge oI

might be constantly and efficiently drilled.
Objections may be raised 10 the expense
which such reformation might incur, but
when we reflect that the child Of every citi.
zen will be thus educated alike, I'd with re.
gard to our own domestic policy and Insli.
tutions--all objection must vanish in the
manifest advantages of the scheme. Pride
Of State, if nothing else, should awaken Us
upon this subject.
F1tihiy-A thorough remodeIing Of our
Militia Patrol and slave laws should b. re-
commended. As they now stand, they are
confused and altogether unsu''ed TO our con-
dliion.
S;rth,y--The annual appropriation OF a
sum of money should be recommended 10
be drawn by a State society. composed OF
delegates from The agricultural societies OF
each district, to be distributed by said socIe'
ty 10 premiums, for the proddcIion of s'sch
articles az may tend to advancement ofthe
agriculture Of the State.
Every planter in the State might become
a competitor for such premiums, and spe.
clfca,lon of The production Of the article for
which he completes may BE- handed in under
oath, by the delegate who represents his dis
trict.
If an agricultural school be established.
the meetings Of such socie'y might be held
once year at the school at which time an
examination of the scholars might take
place before the delegates. The offers for
premiums compared--and if possible speci.
mems or descriptions Of them preserved in
q proper Laboratory or museum for the fu-
ture use of the school and its visi,ers.
That such an Appropriation Of premiums
would impart great interest 10 our agrIcul-
tural pursuits, and be the direct m"ans OF IN.
Producing permanent improvements amongst
US, has been amply illustrated by the exam
pie of other States.
These strike me as some of the most i'm
portant subjects which should occupy the
time and deIiberaion ofthe Convention. -
Upon them, among other wants of the PLAN
ters, the Legislature should be memoralzed
mot in a tone which may imply that we
ask as favor, but that we in justice claim
as n right. Let the Convention be unani-
mous-let not incidental questions consume
its session in idle or wrangling debate, and
;he result eanno: fail Of proving highly au.
spicious to the interest of the Safe.

a gentleman in New York, as we learn
from the Recorder, he instituted the follow
ing experiment. He placed turkey in a
box or enc osure, 4 feet long, 2 feet wide,
and 8 OF. feet high, excluded light as much
as could be done, and allowed free circu
latiou of air, and fed the turkey with soft
brick, broken fine pounded charcoal, and
sir grains of corn per day. The box vas
kept locked. At the end of the month, the
turkey was XII led in the presence Of several
gentlemen, was large and heavy, and on be.
ing opened was found filled with fal. Moth.
ing, on dissection, was found in the gizzard
and entrails bur charcoal and brick. Last
winter the experiment was repeated, aud
with the same success.
Several years since, in Fl ting out one Of
the Liverpool traders al New York, pig
on board vas missing, and was. supposed to
have been lost. The cargo was laken on
board, slowed, and the vessel sailed. 1t
was now discovered that the pig was alive
in the coal, hole, but as he could moi be
got at readily. It was conc ded le leave him
to bis fate. He remained in this retreat un.
I'll the passage was made, when his pigship
was found 10 be not only alive and well, bu'
materially improved in condition, though
there WIS nothing, coal excepted, he could
have swallowed.
When it is remembered that wood, su-
gar, and several other substances, som" Of
which are most nutrtive. are compounded OF
nearly the same original elements, il would
seem possible, by animal chemistry, to con-
vert them to the purpose of sustaining life i;
though all experiments with wood or char.
coal have failed. The German chemists have
converted wood into very palatablc bread,
by roasting and pulverizing; but calcinalion.
it has been supposed, would destroy what:
ever powers of nutrition wood nigh, orig.
inally contain. The chemical action Of
vegetable seems unable 10 produce the leus

generally enchanced. Judging from the
specimens We have seen, aud the statements
of those whose experiments enabled Them 10

regard its discovery as valuable acqus'-
ton TO the wealth of the South and are
persuaded that it only needs to be known 10
be eagerly sought after.
One fact connected with il its culture will
make j peculiarly valuable to the planters
of this region and the Cherokee country.
