/" "NiILKING." "

Messrs. Gaylord e. TUCKER: In answer
to Mr.. Freeman, your Indiana correspon-
dent, who asks. sis there any remedy to
keep cow from holding up her milk?" |
beg leave to say, think there is very
simple and sure remedy / have for many
years occasionally used it, and have in no
instance known it to fail. When child,
| noticed with surprise, that calf, when
beginning to suck, would frequently
change from one teat to another, and butt
with considerable force the udder OF ITS
dam; and Z enquired ofa person near
me, why the calf did this? The answer
was, 4to make the COW give down her
milk z This answer was undoubtedly cor
re,,t Since then, when milking, and the
cow retained her milk, by initiating with
my hand this action of the calf, she would
immediately cease 70 withhold it, and the
milk would flow freely.

that hill, but of the whole eight rows upon
which suckers had been left, so remarka-
bic, that some Of them thought it was a

less efforts toproduce few grains among
the tassel in their own Corn. was able
however, to satisfy them that that was
owing to their having taken away the
first suckers, and the second growth was
too late to produce any thing more.
In the following year 1889, great
many suckers appeared on the Corn IN
the same field, which we manured and
cultivated in the same manner as the year
before, all of which were suffered to re-
main, and I made a larger crop than ever
upon that field.
This year, ls40, but few suckers ap-
peared on any of my Corn. / have attrl-
buted il to the unfayorable nature of the
Spring for Corn, which has confirmed my
previous impressions, that the appearance
of suckers is an effort to relieve the plant
Of any supcrabundance of nutriment.

cultivated at all injured, by the early suck

CAMDEN CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY,

In every instance that has fallen under
my observation of a cows retaining her
milk, have noticed circumstances that
convinced me that it was not wholly an
involuntary act, as, for instance the strong
contraction of the abdominal muscles.
and her ceasing to chew the cud. Under
these circumstances, by initiating with the
hand the butting of the calf, the careful
observer will not fail to notice an imme-
diate relaxation of these muscles; and
when the milk is permitted by the cow to
flow unrestained, she will rarely fail to
Immediately recommencc the chewing
her cud.

MISCELLANEOUS.

man who has a Just sense of his own
value will sport with his own character.
A watchful regard to his character in
his early youth will be of inconceivable
value to him in all the remaining years of
his life. When tempted to deviate from
strict propriety of department, he should
ask himself, cam I afford this? Can en-
dure hereafter to look back upon this?
1t is of amazing worth to a youth, to
have a pure mind, for this is the founda-
ton of pure character. The mind, in
order to be kept pure, must be employed
on topics Of thought, which are them
selves lovely, chastened and elevating.
Thus the mind hath in its own power the
election of its themes of meditation. If
youth only knew how durable and how
dismal is the injury produced by the indul-
gence Of degrading thoughts, if they only
realize how fruitful were the moral de-
formities which cherished habit of loose
imagination produces on the soul; they
would shun them as the bite of a serpent.
The power of books to excite imagination
is fearful element of moral death, when
employed in the service of vice.
The cultivation of an amiabIe, elevated
and glowing heart, alive to all the beau
ties Of nature, and all the sublimities of
truth, invigorates the intellect, gives to
the will independence of baser passions,
and to the affections the power of adhe-
sion to whatever is pure, and good, and
grand, which is adapted to lead out the
whole nature of man into those scenes OF
action and impression by which its ener-
gies may be most appropriately employed,
and by which its high distinction may be
most efectuaIly reached. The opportu-
mites of exciting these faculties in be-
nevolent and self-denying efforts, for the
welfare of our fellow men, are so many
and great, that it is really worth while to
live. The heart which is truly evangeli-
calIy benevolent, may luxurate in an age
like this. The promises of God are in
expressly rich; the main tendencies OF
things so manifestly in accordance with
them, the extent of moral influence is SO
great, and the effects of employment SO
visible, that whoever asplres after benevo-
lent action and reaches forth to those
things that remain for us in the true Dig
nifty of his nature, can find free scope for
his intellect, and all inspiring themes for
his heart.

PRorANITY.-There is nothing in our
estimation 50 degrading to the character
of man as the habitual use of pRoFANE
oATns. 1t lessons his dignity in the eyes
of all who may come in contact with
him, and is indicative of coarse and vul-
gar mind. "To swear is neither brave,
polite, nor wise;" is true adage; and
should be borne in mind by such as are
addicted to profanity. 1t is heart-rendlng
to the virtuous and moral part of our COM
munity to hear the blasphemous express
slons that emanate from the mouths of
men who wear the.exterior Of gentlemen,
but more whitening is it to hearthe horrid
oaths that spring from the tongues of ma
ny of the lads who perambulatethe streets.
There is a want of care somewhere, and
parents and guardians should be admo-
nished to look well after the morals Of
their children and apprentices. If mild
reproof will have no effect in checking
the formation Of the evil habit, let it be
done by austerity, but at any rate put a
stop to it by some efficient means. Let
mot our ears be assailed and lnsulted, and
our feelings shocked, by the oaths of
those who have not yet arrived at the age
of puberty. =
And if these views be correct as to this
degrading practice, with the youth of our
country, how deeply tits to be deplored
to hear profane language from the heads
of those who grey hairs invite respect and
veneration, but who yet seem not to rea-
lie that they are blossoming for eternity.

5 OF SUCKERS ON CORN.

IEi iitstor: In. the last number OF the
Cabinet, IN syour article on the "Agricui-

lsdee, yo1 seem to regard the fact, of Suck
ers on Corn bearing Ears at their proper
places, as before unknown to you; and
You ask, .if il is not one of the Pecuilari-
ties Of the Corn cultivated by Col. Will
liams, in producing sackers bearing ears!

DEEP PLANTING.

A patron of ours informed US few
days since, that while taking his fodder,
he discovered a great difference in the
appearance between two pieces of corn
which were planted at the same time, and
in the same kind of soil. The fodder on
one piece of ground dried up SO fast that
he could scarcely get through with strip
ping it, before it was entirely burnt up, to
use the common phrase. On going to the
other piece, he found it green to the
ground, and in good plight for stripping.
He was struck with the difference in the
two lots of corn, and on reflection, recol-
lccted that on getting ready to plant his
corn in the spring, he ran furrow with
a large shovel or barshare plough, after
which he followed with a small plough
called bull tongue, running it pretty deep
in the same furrow, till he got perhaps
half overthe piece, when he concluded to
plant the balance in the furrow, and dis
continued the use Of the bull tongue. The
result was, that the part planted deep, in
the opening made by the small plough,
where the large one had previously been
run, produced a third more fodder, of a
better quality than that planted in the shall
low mark made by the large plough alone;
besides the great difference there must be
in the weight of the corn. drying up too
fast of course to make proper article for
bread. This should be remembered by
farmers, and the evil of shallow planting
avoided, especially, since all seem to think
the seasons are becoming shorter, and
much dricr than formerly.-Southern Gull

Important to Horsenten---A Secret
,eorth knoming.-The day before yester,
day we happened to be passing IN front of
the United States Hotel, when we OBJ
served a large crowd attracted by an om-
:nbus laden with passengers, which the
horses refused. to draw. The driver had
tried every expedient to urge on the ami
,mals-such as the ordinary modes of
whipping, coaxing, &c, but all in vain,
when our townsman, John G. Montgome-
ry, Esq, suggested the plan of tying a
string tightly round the horses ear close
TO the head--the drivera experimenting that
Mr.. M. was disposed to quiz him, refused
to make the trial, but Mr.. Ms tying the
itwine around the horses ear-having re-
quested the edrirer to resume his seat and
ito give his horses loose rein, without ap-
plying the whip-it operated like charm
and the animals started off without further
difficulty, to the infinite amusement and
tgratifcation of the bystandcrs. Mr.. M,
stated to he crowd, that he had tried the
experiment more than hundred times
and had never known It to fail but once

PEACH TREE WORM

Mr.. J. P. Kirkland, Of Cincinnati, makes
some valuable remarks in regard to this W GRIN,
in the Western Farmer and Gardener. The
egg Of this worm is deposited on the tree
near the ground in winged state, where it
much resembles the moth family. This re-
seInblance led to the experiment of planting
close around the body Of the tree tansy and
NORWOOD, which are known, in common
with camphor, twpentine, tobacco, &C., to
protect clothes from the common moth.
The results Of the experiments Of Mr.. kirt-
land. and more especially Of the Hon. Reu-
ben Wood, near Cleveland, have been alto
geiher successful. The herbs should be
planted nearly in contact with the body oil
the tree, and should be cultivated and KEEP,
clear Of grass.
