AGRICULTURAL.

CABBAGE AS AN ARTICLE or NuTRf-
TIoN.-As an article of food, cabbage
hitherto in this conntFy has been very
extensively cultivated. The Dutch
mans sour krout, and the boiled cab.
bage Of the Yankee, are, it is true, very
iavorite dishes among certain classes Of
our population, but they are by no
means articles of daily and constant use
aud are regarded mainly as lhxuri-
Gus appendage Of more subs taHtial ar.
tcles. In consequence Of the failure
of the potato crop within few years
past, the cabbage, among other plants
has been chemically anaylized with the
view ofintroducing it into general use.
The result ofthis analysis disappoihts
the expectation of all. When dried
so as to bring 1t iuto state in which it
can be mpaied' with other varieties
of food, such as wheat, beans, &C., it
is found to be richer in muscular mat
ter than any other crop we grow. A
writer in the Edinburgh Review says
that wheat contains only about twelvs
per cent, while cabbage contains tom
thirty to forty, result which Is indeed
very surprising, and peculiarly inter-
esting and important. 1t is estimated
that from twenty to forty tons Of cab
5age may be produced from an acre,
while twenty-five bushels Of wheat Is
full an average crop. Now if the for
mer produces 1900 ponds of muscular
matter, aud the latter 200, the advauS
tage in favor Of the cultivation Of cab
bage is surprisingly great, II is said,
it is trues that the cabbage crop is very
exhausting to he soil, but the same Is
true of many other crops which are
successfully cultivated. Corn, hemp;
flag, tobacco, and some others, which
are very extensively grown in the UhiS
ted Stat9s, rank in the category, but
never the less yield fair profit. RenS
ovating manures have already been dis
covered, by the application Of which

years in succession. Improvements iii
this department Of agriculture wilt
doubtless be made, SO that any crop
may be cultivated with as ninEh Gers
tainty, and with as little waste for ne.
cessary manures, as the nanafacturef
produces q given color with certain in
gradients. Such being the case, it be-
comes our farmers to devote more at
tention to the cultivation of cabbages.
They can be cultivated with compares
lively little labor, aud are particularly
valuable in grazing districts. For
stock they are vastly preferable to turs
nips, the nutritive properties being at
least two to one in favor Of The former.

How TO CuRsA a OoLD.-Of all other
means of killing colds, fasting IS the
most etfectual. Let who ever has a
cold eat nothing whatever for two days,
and his cold viii be gone, provided he
is not confined in bed-because, by
taking no carbon into the system by
food and consuming that surplus which
caused his disease by breath, he soon
cairies off his disease by removing the

found more effectual if he adds copious

MEDtCAL USE OF SALT.-In many

IA teaspoonful of salt TO pint of cold

The same will revive a person who
seems almost dead from heavy fall.
In an apqplectic fit, no time should
be lost in pouring down salt water, If

times, will relieve in most cases. If
the gums be affected, wash the mouth

came near procuring my dismissal from

attention was directed to young man
with very foppish dress, and "a head

man sat an urchin, who must have been
urged on in his deviltry by the evil one
himself, for | do not conceive the young

oft on the spruce dandy in front of him.
The boy held his fore finger in the hair
of the young man about as long as a
blacksmith would nail rod ia the fire

menced pounding his finger in inn
tation Of smith making nail. The
whole was SO udicrous that laughed,

SOUTHERN WOMEN Their true Breed
iag-GeneroaS-On Southern planta
tions, the houses are generally Of wooC
large aud commodious but with little re-
gard to elegance aud furnished with 8
simplicity which would shock the eye o.
third rate yotary of fashion in North
ern city. Ia these simple homes
however, you may enter without fear
stranger" is there a sacred name; and
you will find yourself entertained with
an open hearted hospitality which may
well reconcile youto the absence of
some accustomed Injuries. In the
dwellers in these homes, youwill find
generally the easy, courteous bearing
which distinguishes the best society
every where. In them. too, you will
often find the highest intelligence In the
land; and it will be readily perceived
that the result Of this attainment OF
high cultivation in the artificial life OF
the country, must be the formation OF
character uniting IN rare degree re.
6nement and simplicity.
To this Union, we think Southern
women are indebted for that charm SO
generally attributed td their manner
a charm which is never felt so folly as
in their. own homes, where all around
them bears the impress Of their own
spirits, In the life they lead, there is
little of moment, but personal quail
ties. The fact that the changes Of prop
erty are less frequent and violent in an
agricul tural than in commercial coun-
try--that families remain longer In
their relative position in the first than
in the last--has given, tits true, a higher
value to blood, to family distinction. at
the South: than at the North yetscarcely
sufficient to effect the reception of an
individual in society. The true gold
Of character will there pass current
even though It may lack the "guinea's
stamp" rs
