DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

AS will be seen by our last issue our Dis.
trict has formed an, Agricultural Society in
order to cooperate with the State Agricul-
tural Society to be held at Col:albia in Au.
gust next. Althoagh n it is desirable thus to
harmonize with cur bretheren Of the clod in
a Convention of Societies, we have motives
for forming Society in Edge6eld, which,
though sapesiug much Of sel6shness, are
of still greater import, in our humble opin.
ion, to ps as a District, The success of all
the inaastrial pursuits which engage the at.
tessoa Of our people depends more or less
upon the success of the farm. In order there
fore that we all may be benefited by the
experience of our brother farmers, and have
that counsel and advice which is more Ger.
tain to lead to success, we have formed a
Society as a nucleus in which to concentrate
all the knowledge, science and practical ex.
perience in agriculture, to which all are here:
by invited to come, and to come with firm
determination of doing something worthy of
ourselves-worthy of the District-worthy
of the State.

TO HORACE GREELY.

The undersigned hereby invite the above
named distinguished (0 gentleman to par
take of Barbecue with our Negroes, las it
is customary to give our servants such treats
when the crop is laid by, and we would be
pleased for him to bring along some of his
dearest and most intimate friends Of the free
soil stamp, viz: Fred Douglass, Seward,
Phillips, Chase, and others Of the same brand,
in order to let them see that our slaves are
not skinned alive, out that they are luxuriasiug
il, such mutton, beef and pork as does not
often greece the throat Of Horace Greely
himself.
o! tic! fe! Since writing the above, we
are informed by correspondent of the N.
Y. Journal of Commerce, that Horace is at
this time in Paris, and worse than all is in
prison for libel. What a pity that the wri.
tings of this abolition scamp can be constru-
ed into slander. The devil sometimes gets
his due. WHIP, WHIP, HURRAH!

siLT, PLASTER AND ASHES FOR CORN.

Having recently seen several illusions
in the Rural to the use Of salt as manure
for corn, will briefly give little of my
experience, as have not raised crop of
corn in eight. or ten years without applying
it. When / first commenced the use of it,
experimental for several years by dressing
a portion with it and leaving portion un-
dressed, till became satisfied that the profit
was fully equal to 25 per cent, and my
example has been followed by many Of my
neighbors. l use and apply it as follows:,
Take half bushel plaster, 2 bushels leach.
ed or unleached ashes, mix thoroughly with
a shovel upon the barn floor, and apply to
the corn as soon as mixed, and as soon as
the corn is planted, the same day if possible.
direct my hands to press the earth over
the corn with the back of the hoe covering
it, so that its exact position may be known,
and have boys to follow Immediately after
and scatter small handful of the compost
ton over the print of the hoe. usually
apply about three bushels Of the mixture to
the acre.
If by accident. any of the hills do not
get their share, the color of the corn on
coming up reveals the fact, being usually
rather yellow, while all that receives. the
dressing is of very dark, green, and grows.
rapidly from the start-being little if any
retarded, by chilly, backward weather, which
frequently occurs after corn planting, and
very seldom "rolling" in the most severe
droughts. For two years past | have COM
meuced hoeing on the fourteenth day after
planting

RIGK WHEAT.

Few crops can be turned to better ac-
count ON poor, light, gravelly soil, than
buckwheat. 1t possesses chemical action
on the soil, by which the coarser articles
are disintegrated, or rendered finer, and the
soil is thereby improved. Pure,- inorganic
earth-that is, earth mixed with animal or
vegetable matter-is produced by the disin-
tegration, or pulverizing g of rocks. Slick, or
sand, is the exide, or rust of silicum; or to
make it more familiar, it is pulverised quartz.
Clay is produced by the decomposition of
feldspar. Now, all the quartz and feldspar
in the world, while existing in the form Of a
rock, will not produce blade of grass; it
is only when decomposed, or pulverized !;
and the finer the particles, the better the
SOIL
If a soil is coarse, the subject Of the
farmer should be to pulverise it, which can
only be done by some chemical application,
or the growing Of some crop which has that
chemical power. Buckwheat, by a process
yet undiscovered, has that power and the
longer it is cultivated, on given piece of
ground, the finer will be the particles on
the soil. 1t Injuries land for corn, but leaves
it in fire order for potatoes, and is the best
crop to kill out bushes, wild grass and mel
low green sward. To fit the land for the
next succeeding crop, in rotation, plow in a
crop of buckwheat in blossom.
As food for man, except in small guam
titles, we could not recommend it, as cakes
made from it, though light when hot, are
heavy as liver when cold. A constant use
of, it has tendency, also, to produce cuta-
neous diseases, but boiled with potatoes,
apples or pumpkins is 6rstrate for hogs.
When ground, it is excellent for milch COWS.
Fed raw, or left standing in the field, it is
great for shanghaes. (they being allowed to
harvest for themselves.) The blossoms
afford material for the best honey, and at a
season of the year when other flowers are
gone. =.
Il should never be given in any form to
horses, as it bloats them, rather than fattens;
and what appears to be fat, put on. horse
by buckwheat in a week, will disappear by
hard work in day.

GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA!

FOR DISEASES OF THE LIVER, -.
AND 10 PURIFY RI& B1ODD.
THIS SARSAPARILLA is made Of the Sarsa-
i parilla which grows in the Southern States and
nothing else. 1t has the natural Sarsaparilla taste.
Its effect upon the system in all cases in which Sar
saparlla is indicated is wonderful. 1t is q great
safeguard against diseases arising from torpid state
of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood.
Generally, it acts upon the Bowels as, al mild pur.
gative or aM,tve. 1t not only mildly moves the
Bowels but gives tone to the system by restoring q
healthy action in the Liver, and by freeing the blood
from its impurities.
For children it is great preventive of worms
and supercedes the necessity Of giving them 50
much worm medicine at the same time it improves
their general health.
A better and more useful medicine cannot be in
roduced into Edgefeld District either for profess
sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsapar ill.,
This Sarsaparilla ia MOTTO be sold on comrnis-
sions %"
Price, per bottle, sl-six bottles IS. For sale by

CORN SUCKERS.

SHOULD the suckers be pulled from Corn :
This question is often asked by farmers, and
various are the opinions in regard to the
practicability of suckeriug. We all know
that it frequently happens that suckers never
make ears, while at other times we see as
good ears made OH suckers as on the origi-
nal stalks. We have paid some attention to
this subject, and from observation we have
arrived at the following conclusions.
In all matters pertaining to the farm, cir.
cunstances alter cases; hence, no rule or
systen, can be carried out that will, in all
cases, be followed with complete success
Suckering corn will very properly come un'
der this rule, and consequently must be prac.
tised according to circumstances. In order
to exercise discriminating judgment, we
must first consider The cause which produces
suckers on corn. A super.abundauce of nu.
triment for the stalk, whether from manure
too literally supplied, or from the natural
strength of the soil, will always cause the
stalk lin self defence) to throw out suckers.
This seems to be wise provision of nature,
and her laws can never be violated with i'm.
punity. Whenever therefore suckers make
their appearance on corn which has deep
mellow soil to furnish it with sufficient food
to sustain the stalk and suckers to maturity,
each sucker will make as good an ear as the
original stalk: Wherever this is the case it
is a certain index that the land will bear
much closer planting and will make much
mere to the acre than that which does not
cause the corn to sucker.
When suckers are caused by liberal sup.
ply of manure, the nourishment thus afforded
will be exhausted before the stalks can ma.
ture their fruit, the consequence is; that the
suckers are without shoots and only have a
few grains made in their tassle. These, as
is generally the case, should be pulled from
the stalk. But no suckers will make corn
that do not spring from the roots Of corn or
near enough to the ground to take root
themselves. In good bottom land, if corn
be planted the usual distance; every sucker
will make good ear, and will be in its
proper place upon the stalk. We have tried
this and know it to be fact, and Z" facts
are stubborn things" According then to
circumstances it is both right and wrong to
pull off the suckers. Right to pull them OFT
in thin land manured; wrong to pull them
of. in good strong bottom land.
: I'VE would like to hear from some one on
