THE GEORGIA AND CAROLINA HORSE.

In the article of Hon. q. PRATT, which
we conclude this week, it is stated that the
Carolina and Georgia horse is not capable
Of hard labor. This is true, in reference
to the Kentucky Horse in general use in
South Carolina and Georgia, but it is not
true, in reference to the genuine Carolina or
Georgia horse. We are of opinion that
We can raise as good horses in Edgefe!d, as
can be found any where, from the full blood
four mile horse down to the horse of all
work. We also believe thata we'll bred and
well raised Edgefeld horse, will last as long
again as Kentucky horse. We are near
about the same latitude as Arabia Petra, and
our soil, climate and pasture is good enough
TO produce horses and mules better adapted
to our uses than we can get from abroad.
But there is but one but in the way and that
is Cotton-we must make s cents Cotton to
buy our horses and mules, and hogs and
lard from Kentucky, and our shoes and nut
megs and xe-handles from New England!
Wereally believe we cannot do anything
with our people-so we will cut short our
article.

CUCUMBERS.

THIS vegetable, whether pronounced kev'
cumbers, kuck. .cumbers or cou-cumbers, is
at all events very refreshing and appetising
addition to the dinner.table on hot sum-
mer's day. The smell alone, which is ex.
hailed from well.prepared plate of them, is
enough to arouse the stomach into condi-
tion highly preparatory to the discharge of
its proper functions in the way of absorption
and digestion. We are aware that many
regard them very unwholesome and it is
probably true that, taken in undue quanti-
ties, they are so. But a little every day, to
impart relish to ones fried chicken and
rice, caaaot surely be very deleterious.
Wholesome or unwholesome, the cucumber
is decidedly favorte, and as this is the
precise time to be planting them, we ap-
pend mode, which is said 10 be very sue
cessful one. We are indebted, for it, to a
Subscriber" who very modesty withholds
his name. Read it and try it:
Saw common-sized barrel in half, and
put one of the parts, small end downwards,
into the ground, leaving the top of the half
barrel barely even with the surface. Fill it
with rich dirt inches deep. Then make
rough box (not water-tight) about S inches
square, with one end nailed up but not SO as
to hold water Place the box, with the
headed end at bottom, in the centre of the
barrel, and then fill the barrel all around it
up to the surface of the ground with rich
loan, or the washings of bottom, and we'll
rotted manure. The eNbox should stand seve-
raj inches above the surface, as the design
of it is to receive dirty water, soap suds,
&C., to nourish the plants around it in dry
seasons. Plant your seed, say 4 hills in the
barrel around the box. Thin to one plant
in place. Stir the earth well till the vines
begin to run, and then, if you like, make
frame for them to run on. The more they
shade each other the better. Cucumber
vines, thus raised, will bear until frost and
bear abundantly." - - . = =

SWEET POTATOES.

THE following method of planting sweet
potatoes may be worthy of adoption. There
is certainly an appearance of frankness and
reasonableness in the writer's style of an.
nouncing it. Whether it is the thing or not,
we have yet to learn; and that we propose
to do by trying half.acre or so of the mex,
crop. We extract from that admirable Ag.
ricultural publication, the "southern Cult.
uator :"
The old method of planting sweet potatoes
in hills and ridges, in this dry climate, and
our hard upper country lands, is all wrong.
Potatoes must have moisture and soft earth
to do WELL But they lack both in the com.
mon culture. Hills and ridges are the driest
forms in which you can put the soil. Flat
culture is the only right kind for potatoes,
or anything else, in our burning climate and
on our clay uplands. Potatoes should be
planted as flat, and may, in that way, be
planted as easily, as corn.
First, break up the land we'll; then lay of
rows feet wide with shovel plow; run
deep in the same track with q rooter, and
then, if you want it perfect, deeper still
in the same furrow with common new
ground coulter. Next, list upon both sides
Of this in same way; that is, with shovel,
rooter and coulter-one right in the track of
the other. This makes deep work, and the
deeper the better. 1t is soon done.' Your
ground is now ready-deep, loose and moist,
and will keep so all summer.
