eovcrcd--pine straw is better than oak

Peas that we're planted early should
now be stuck, not with split pine sticks,
but with sassaffas, or other brush. If
early corn has not been planted, it should
be done at once. The Oregon is good
kind for early use It come early and has
fine ears. This may be planted till the
middle of July. .ar
Beets VIII do planted now, IL it has not
been done. The turnup is the best, make
the ground rich and spade deep.
Carrots should be planted now they
will grow as deep in the ground as you
will spade and manure. I find it very
convenient to plant two rows near each
other, say about eight inches, and leave a
space Of about fifteen inches between the
next two 1t gives better room to pass and
cultivate. DC.
The first favorable weather in this
month the various kinds of bush beans
might be planted, If the weather will not
permit until the middle or last of the

the best bushbcans cultivated. It's not so
carly as some Of the other kinds.
Plant early bush squash. A little stable
manure will be very well here.
Hyou have not good asparagus bed,
get the seed and sow them at once. Sow
them in drills about a foot wide: manure

Sow in very rich land and work well.
Transplant the early kind of cabbage;
but few of any other kind should be trans
planted till June and July if they are,
you will have no cabbage when you should
have, fall and winter. I have now,

they will head in May or by the middle

BY the last of the month plant few

It's a good investment. You can have n

A violet peered from the window sill,
One sultry summers day,
And the noontide silently came, and stole
The violet's bloom away.
Bnta cloud swept larily over the sky,
The noontide fell in vain,
And the zephyrs were reawakened soon
BY n gentle August rain.
The meadow and woodland rejoiced

The pool and streamlet swelled,

The Soil of the South for
- 1852. n.. s

In May, 1850, . number of Planters living
Il in Georgia and Alabama. met in Colum-
bus, Ga, and formed themselves into an Az
ricultural Society. The advantages Of such
an association were Mt once apparent, and
with the view to contribute as much as pos
sible to agricultural improvement, it was de-
termined, at meeting Of the Society in jan
uary, 1851, to establish an Agricultural Jour.
nal. As the result of that action,
1.-THE SOIL OF THE SOUTH
made its appearance in the month of March
last. 1t was hailed with universal approba-
ton, amp from that day to this. it has stead
lily and rapidly increased in circulation and
public favor. At the recent great Fair in
Macon, Ga, it was by n unanimous vote of
the members recommended to the patronage
Of Southern Agriculturists, and elected to
b. the
ORGAN OF THE SOUTHERN CEN
TRALAGRICULTURALASS
1t will hereafter be published under the
auspices Of that association, and will be the
medium of communicating officially, all in
telligence pertaining to Its interests and OBJ
jects, by a resolution Of the Executive Com
mittec, the publisher is authorised to send
n copy Of the paper gratuitousty to all Agri-
cultural Societies in the South that will send
their address tc the office of publication.

Agriculture and Horticulture, Domestic and
Rural Economy. 1t is intended to make the
paper essentially practical, and at the same
time cminently progressive, in its character,
embodying ms far as possible, all that is val
liable, rs well in the practice rs the science
of Agriculture. In its instructions, it will
be the constant aim of those who write for
its columns, to adapt, themselves to the pc
culiar climate, soils and crops Of the South.
In short, no effort and no reasonable expense
will be Spared, to make The Soil ofthe South
n worthy and instructive Journal Of South
cen Agriculture.

RETuRs wEEk.- The business of last
week resulted in the return Of about $50
or 140 cases to the ensuing term Of OUT
Court. This Is by no means full return
for this District, but II is heavier than we
have had, unless in one or two instances,
for some years past. Several cases have
been entered involving very considerable
litigation.
Our observation satisfies us that there
already exists sufficiency Of debt throug-
out the country to produce very great
embarrassment. Much depends upon the
next crop whether the crisis will come upon
us within the next twelve-months; but SOON
er or later it must come. It's the part
of pru lence to prepare to meet it.-Ches-

Suggestions to Young Mothers.

Rise so early in the morning, that you
may be able to secure at least half an
hour for readiug the Sriptutes and prayer
before your domestic concerns require
you attention. You will find this exer-
else admirably adapted to prepare and
strengthen you to encounter, with be-
coming temper and spirit, the trials and
vexations of the day.
Accustom your children to make pray
er and praise to God, the giver and preser-
yer Of life, the first employment in the
morning, and the last at night Remem-
Der that the duties Of mother are un-
transferable; therefore, except in cases of
unavoidable nc 'essity, never suffer the
devotional exercises Of your children to
be superintended by another.
See that your daughters rise early, and
that they employ themselves about such
domestic affairs rs are suited to their years
and capacities.
Never suffer your children to require
services from Others which thev can per-
form for themselves. A strict observance
Of this rule " i'll be Of incalculable advan-
tage to them through every period of life.
Let all the young members of your
family he regularly washed and combed,
before breakfast; never permit them to
treat you with so much disrespect as to
appear at your table in slovenly condi-
ton. It should ever be remembered thar
the highest respect which child can pay
Is due to its parent. This respect may be
insured by forming correct habits in
youth.

These Saws are carefully hardened and tenn
