81 am conscious Of a sense Of profound pain
and humiliation 10 think any woman will coun-
tenance in any way demonstration like the ono
proposed. No true woman can or will do so.
Indeed | hardly think any full-born American
woman would. 1t seems TO me the natural
modesty and decent common sense of the sex
might be enough to protect them from what is
utterly repugnant to the spirit of womanhood
There is something ntrinsicaly revolving in
this attempt to force asdethe veil which screens
and protects the chasie matron, where she and
her pretty brood within the sanctuary Of home
are exempt from the rude gaze of prying Gu
rosily, and thus thrusing her unblushingly in
to the public eye, with all the suggestions and
none Of the decencies Of maternity.
The harmonious woman, to whom has been
delegated The fostering culture Of beautiful
miniature Of the Creator, will hold herself as
one made holy thereby, and she will profane
neither herself nor child by any unseemly or
osteuiailous display of either. II her-culture

deadly sin. If she have shred of womanly
pride in the fabric Of her being she will resent
the implied insult offered her when invited TO
figure personally in human live caite-show.

taste, the decency and dignity to utterly ignore

From the Southern Cultivator.
C0W.pFiS-H0GS,

Mr.. ED1roR:-The long and somewhat
vexed controversy conducted on one side by
DR.. Philips, and on the other by host, as to
the noxious quality Of the field pea in GER
tain stages of decomposition, |. have atten'
lively observed, waiting for pause in the
engagement, to declare to the opponents that
they are alright This is strange, but it is,
Notwithstanding, often true, that from the
oversight, in very slight and subordinate
circumstate, men are kept apart by hair
line, and prevented in their researches after
truth from standing on the same platform.
And in the outset Of these remarks, permit
ne to say to Dr. P. that am just as inexor-
able in my convictions as he seems to be,
and the world cannot move me. In the first
place, then, we must admit, that if the cause
assigned by Dr.. P, for the destructive effects
Of the pea, be the true cause, it must be gen.
sral. That is, if long, warm, wet spell,
causing the pea to sob and partially rot,
causes the death of hogs feeding on them,
aN,adioining farms should exhibit the same
results. But is this the case! Not at all
for no longer than last year, | knew neigh
bor to loose large portion Of his store hogs
while in the pea-feld, and he was compelled
to remove them, though moi the first instance
of the same sort occurred on the farms OF
his friends around him. was particular to
INQUIRE into the case, and am sure from the
careful habits, and the experience in farm
management Of this individual, that his loss
was occasioned, by no carelessness or tam
pering with his stock. What is the e1pla,
nation! Notea.this first, that seven out oil
every ten cases Of mortality among the hogs
feeding on peas in the field, occur on red
Lands. This is certainly fact, though l
have known of exceptions Though rarely J
occurring: on pine lands. | am as sure as
can be of any thing, that this injurious ten.
dency of the pea is entirely local, and is the
result of some deleterious quality in the soil,
perhaps the presence of some mineral ele.
pent which is assimilated in the progress OF
vegetation. / haye known oftwo instances,
one in this country, where it was certain
death to hogs to pasture them on peas,
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1855-05-09

growing in particular field. l have case
in Jasper county, lin this case deep red land,
somewhat worn, where the culture of the
pea was abandoned from the loss occasion
ed. But in the long leaf pine lands, we new
er hear of case of injury to stock hogs
from the pea, arising from any other cause
than sheer imprudence. ann satisfied that
there is difference in the pea, both as to
its nutritive qualities, and its innocence as a
food. The old cow.pea, though the best bearer
know of in the whole family, and the best
for winter sowing, is the most Objectionable
as a stock pea. My advice is never turn
hogs into peas empty and hungry, and never
give them salt unmired with ashes. Two
distinct trials with pure salt, and two distinct
cases of loss, are enough to convince me.
Yours trul y, ARAToR
