Water Melon Culture.

Mr.. EDITOR AS the Southern Cultivator was
mainly gotten up, as conceive, for the purpose OF
advancing the Southern planting and farming inter-
ests, &c, &c, will give your readers my
mode of cultivating the Water Melon provided you
think it worthy of some nook in your paper.
Select piece of land (fresh is the best) that lies
fair to the morning sum- and free of shade If it is
rich manure will benefit but if not rich, make it SO
by manuring. Plow deep and break we'll So soon as
you think the frost is done, you plant; lay of
with scooter shovel pillow, Is or 20 feet square,
scatter little where the burrows cross
and mix we'll, and form fiat hill raising it little
above the surface, in order to drain If you have
seed plenty drop Is OF 20 in hill sticking them in
with your finger up to the first joint filing up the
hole, and if dry press the earth them lightly
When they come up and stand few days, draw up
the sickIy plants and lightly the old hill or
crust with fresh puverised SOIL and about this time
pillow your ground again. Prepare yourself with an
iron tooth Square teeth) hand rake in few days
the ground will become hard-work the hills by
loosening the ground all about the little plants
plow to keep the middles mellow and clean. The
next dressing will be with the rake continue to thin
out (leaying the most vigorous plants from time to
time, down to two plants two sufficient. About
now they will begin to and now be sure to keep
the ground raked mellow and clear Of weeds and
grass You may train your vines the course you
want them run, but lift. turn and twist them
while working. All you have now to do is to keep
the ground clean and mellow by raking before the
vines if you have treated them we'll you will make
good crop they will soon cover the whole ground
The idea is this the roots under the surface in
the mellow, moist, earth far or father than the
vine above the ground literally filing the earth
with roots
From the above treatment [ have grown water
melons to weigh from 40 to so and 60 pounds.

THE DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.

On surface of two square miles, it was ascertain
ed that fifty thousand men and horses were lying
The luxurious crop of ripe grain which had covered
the field of battle reduced to litter and beaten
into the earth and the surface trodden down by the
cavalry, and furrowed deeply by the cannon wheels
strewed with many relic of the fight. Helmets
and cutlasses shattered fire and broken swords
all the variety of military ornaments; lancers caps
and highland bonnets uniforms ofevery color plume
and pennon musical instruments, the apparatus of
artillery, drums, bugles; but good God why dwell
On the narrowing picture of foughten field: Each
and every ruinous display bore mute testimoney to
the misery of such battle. Could the
melancholy appearance of this scene of death be
heightened it would be by witnessing the researches
of the living and their desolaton for the objects of
their love. Mothers, wives and children, for days
were occupied in that mournful duty and the con-
fusion of the corpses friend and foe ntermngled as
they were, often rendered the attempt at recognize
ing individuals difficult and in some cases impossible
In many cases the dead lay four deep upon each
other. making the spot British square had &C.
cupied. when exposed for hours to the murderous
fire on the French battery.
Outside lancer and curasser were scattered thick
ly on the earth. Madly attempting to force the
serried bayones of the British they had fallen in
the booess essay by the muskets of the inner files.
Farther on you trace the spot where the cavalry Of
France and England had encountered. Chasseur
and Huzzar intermingled; and the heavy Nor
man horse Of the Imperial Guard were interspersed
with the grey chargers which had carried Albyn's
chivalry. Here the Highlander and tiralleur lay
side together; and the heavy dragon, with green
Erin's badge upon his helmet was graphing in death
with the Polish lancer
On the summit of the ridge, where the ground was
numbered with dead and trodden fetlock deep In mud
and GORE by the frequent rush of rival cavalry, the
thick rewn corpses of the Imperial Guard pointed
out the soot where Napoleon had been defeated
Here in column, that favored corps on which his
last chance rested, had been annihilated; and the
advance and repulse of the Guard was traeeable
by a mass of fallen Frenchmen.
Tn the hollow below, the last stuggle of France
had been rainly made for the Old Guard, when
the middle battalions had been forced back attemp
ted to meet the British, and afford time for their
disorganized companions to rally. Here the British
left, which had converged upon the French center
had and here the bayOnet. closed the contest

WAsH1NaroN CRY, D. c., May 4th, 1851
Mr. ED1ToR-D During my journeying through Vir-
ginia and other Southern States, have had oppor-
tunitles for ascertanng the results of guano diff
ferent soils in various locations 1t would that,
to use guano now would not be experiment, as in
almost, indeed l may say in every county where is
evinced spirit of agricultural Improvement it has
been tested, and unlike the " broom that loses
its qualities by usng the longer it is used the more
satisfactory are it's results
The high price at which it was held last fall,
frightened some out of the of it who were advo-
Gates for it, while others who paid $50 per ton
fdently believe the investment equal to so per cent
Experiments have been made on most of the crops
grown in the Eastern and Middle States. The bet
ter to test its utility wheat spaces have been left
with guano.
There is no difficulty in ascertaining exactly
where those spaces are the wheat that was guam
oed is more luxuriant and much in advance of that
on the spaces which exhibit but little verdure
few weeks since, in company with AMBROSE
FORD, of Cumberland county, Va, visited wheat
field OF his upon which experiment above had
been made. The difference between the spaces and
the guanoed wheat very visible, sufficiently so
to elicit the enquiry, why those barren places
Mr.. FORD estimates the products of the guanoed
wheat at IL bushels and the spaces at bushels per
acre.
Guano has been so extensively and thoroughly
tested, that may suppose its character as fer
tilizer fully established and appreciated And yet
there are those who skeptica the subject for
whose benefit give the results of few of the ex-
periments that have recently fallen under my obser-
walton.
Gen. GORDON, of Albemarle county, Va, last year
tested It's Importance on corn by applying 200 lbs.
per acre to measured acres; another measured acre
adjoining had none. The manner of cultivation was
the same the field over. Result: the one acre u
bushels the three acres 37I bushels per acre. Gain
by the use of guano, 80 bushels of corn per acre.
The General also made an experiment on wheat
last fall which is worthy of note.
A portion of his field was nearly new, never hay
ing had but two crops on it the balance was an old
field that, by bad culture, had become exhausted -
Guano was applied upon the old ground-upon the
