SOWING RYE.

We find there are some of our readers
that feel an uncertainty about sowing rye
without ploughing We assure them
that we have tried it on corn land, have
Iseen it on cotton land, and that we could
not recommend any thing as positive as
we have done this, unless we prove for a
certainty its result. 1t would be strange,
indeed, if we could. We say this much
as 10 grain Of all kinds. Your land can
not be too well prepared by plowings and
harrowings, TO insure large per acre
yield of grain: where there is a fine
growth of pea vine, or crab grass, or
weeds, it is certainly preferable to tuin
this crop with two horse, or even three
horse pillow then harrow well, sow down
your grain, pillow in Z or 3 inches deep
and harrow again; the first blowing and
narrowing should be very carefully done
But where is the cotton farmer who can
spare time out of his cotton field to do
this? We therefore ourself adopt the
best alternative, SOW down the rye on he
pea vine and grass, among corn stalks,
pumpkin vines, &c, and leave it to the
stock and rams ,tocover and bring up
we did so last year, and grew full ! l bush
els TO one sown; and 10 show still more
favorable, one hand can sow 5 acres al
day, whereas, with the pillow he could not
get IN among such growth even one
acre. We have sown this season near|
SO acres and not yet done, part l. bush
els per acre, tho balance to IL Ii bush |
els. Where the rye is;desired for winter
pasture it should be sown in Sept. or LIST
Oct, because it gives an earlier bite, and
a better one; but where this is not desi- |
rable, we would as lieve SOW goth Eof Oct.
70 10th Of Nov; this will give spring
bite; anc will make better crop, we think,
BY being grazed we'll not too close, un-
Ill LIST to 5th or 10Th March. We sowed
4 small piece of poor hilly land this sea-
son, on the 3rd Of Feb, and if two BUSH
els instead of one had been sown, it would
have been a good crop. Our friends
need not feel the least fear of sowing ryeI
IN corn field or cotton field without plow-
ng even until the LIST of Dec'r.-if freeze
should peradventure happen about the
line 1t vegetables, it will be loss, but this
10 seldom happens, that there is scarce
y any risk. We again assure our rea-
Iors that when we speak Of personal
knowledge on any subject, we will neverI'
esignedly lead astray; we are, and haveIlt
'een for 10 years, trying all sorts olll'

AN AGRICULTURAL CURIoslTY.--A day OF
two since | had the pleasure Of seeing
what think quite an anomaly in natures
productions. 1t was beautiful English
mulberry tree about II feet in height, ha-
wing two separate stalks 3 feet aSuuder at
their Issue from the ground; and, As inch
es from their base, they most perfectly
unite into one round stalk of near inch
es in circumference, while the two parts
below are more than "a inches. There
fore find that they are united more
thrifty than they would be if separate;
and | would ask if any one can doubt but
that they when united are surely strong
er of course more firm than if they were
separate.
There is natural curiosity in the way
Of trees about two miles from this city,
that beats the above. 1t is two gum trees
that stand about 90 feet apart; one is l6
or 10 inches i'll diameter, the other proba-
bly, 3 or inches ess;-they are connect
ed about feet above the ground by a
branch IL inches in diameter, and nearly
straight which grows from tree to tree
and is part Of them. Any one who
wishes to see ii will find it on the right
hand side Of the road that leads into the
woods about halfa mile beyond the Old
Fort Hill.

this proceeds from the orders Of his Co.

For he says, "whiIe Great Britain seeks

Loss OF THE STEAMBOAT "LUDA."-On
the morning Of Wednesday last, about
three O'Clock, the Steam packets Luda and
De Soto came incontact while the Luda
was ascending andthe De Soto descendin g
the river, by which accident the Luda
was sunk and rendered a total loss.--
The accident took place near Bayou
Goua landing, in the parish Of lbervile.
The night being rather dark, and the
lights deceptive it is hard to say which, if
either, boat was in fault. Two colored
persons were missing-supposed to be
deck hands. The De Soto lost and threw
overheard about $50 bales Of cotton, to
prevent her from sinking. The passen-
gers of the Luda lost nearly all their
baggage. She went down in about forty
minutes. The boat and cargo are to-
tai loss, and said to be without insurance.
