4 STEAM PLOW.

VIZ see by one of our exchange papers
that Mr.. HENRY CowIHG Of Louisiana,
has invented 4 Steam Plow. 1t is said to be
simple in its cohstruction--a velocepede on
wheels, sixteen feet high and eight feet apart,
with governing wheel eight feet in diane.
ter. If this useful invention is as efficient
as represented, it will not be difficult mat.
ter to subsol or turn over our tenacious clay
lands. We cannot imagine that it will ever
bc used in tiling crop, but it it comes up
to the sample, it will be some in preparing
our soil. But the best Of its many merits is,
that after you have prepared your soil, you
can then convert it into locomotive and
carry your produce to market. 1t is said to
travel on a good road at the rates of twenty.
FIVE miles an hour. 1t can be used for vari-
Gus purposes. This is really too good to be

TO PRESERVE 4 BOUQUET OF FLOWERS.

AS our readers were recently informed
how tc make an inimitable "Flower Vase, -
we furnish them with = simple mode of pre-
serving bouquet, for a month or more, in
state of freshness almost equal to that when
growing in their mother earth. 4 florist OF
many years experience gives the following
directions.
First get the bouquet, which is not very
easy to do just now, but when you get it
sprinkle it lightly with fresh water. Then
put it into vessel containing soapsuds,
which will nutrify the roots and keep the
flowers as bright as new. Take the bouquet
out Of the suds every morning and lay it
sideways, the stalks entering first, in water.
Keep it there minute or two, then take it
out, and sprinkle the flowers lightly by the
hand with water. Replace in the soap suds
and it will bloom as fresh as when first ga.
thered. The soap.suds need changing every
three or four days. BY observing these
rules, bouquet can be kept bright and beau

OTERSEERS, READ THIS!

IT will be remember by the Overseers of
Edgefeld, that Col. NJ. FRAZIER has offered
fine Watch, as reward to the Overseer
(working not less than ten hands) who will
report the best managed farm, largest crop,
per hand, of Cotton, Corn, Wheat and Pork,
for the present year.
Col. FRAZIER has Just returned from the
North and laid before US this elegant prize.
1t is a fine English Lever Watch, encased in
a heavy silver Hunting Case, upon the back
of which is beautifully engraved, "Present-
cd BY NJ Frazier, Edgefcld, S. c., as re-
'rard of merit"
We assure those who are contestants for
this valuable prize, that it is eminently wor-
thy of the donor, and calculated to call forth
all the energy and skill of which the candi-
dates may be possessed. Remember then,
that the prize is now fairly upon the stake,
and that the "longest pole knocks dopn the
pcrsimon." Whip! Whip! Hurrah!
o. WE commence this week some ex-
tracts from Hon. ZADocK PRATT's lecture
on the horse, and invite the attention Of
amatures al.d stock raisers to this interesting
subject Raising horses and mules at this
time of high prices for both, is worthy of
the attention and calculations Of farmers. Is
it economy to produce cotton at low prices
and purchase horses and mules from Ken
lucky at present rates. We may raise, by
iudicious crossing an animal adapted, to our
our Carolina pasturage and uses. G. the
horse Of all work" The full blooded
four.mle racer has not stamina and weight
enough for this use; though we may by
crossing this Stock with the Morgan Stock
Of Vermont, or the largest French Canadi.
ans, attain our object.
A fine horse Of the Vermont Morgan
stock has heen brought out by our enter.
prisiug stock raiser, Capt. JAS. CREswELI,
near Ninety-Six or Old Cambridge, and a
rare opportunity to stock raiserS is thus
afforded.
The Kentucky mule is pushed forward
from foal on rich pastures Of succulent
grasses, and forced as by hot.bed growth
into premature development for Southern
market, hitched to the plow, unacclimated'
and is soon worn out to make cotton to buy
another mule-and so we gee-haw on still.
Wo farmers, and think how much better
an Edgefeld mule is than Kentucky mule.
He is smaller and large enough, more active
and brisk, easier fed and curried, and carry.
ing his ears erect, will live and wear nearly
as long again. We have also fine speci-
mems Of Jacks in our District, and refer to
those Of Messrs. Minis, Holland and Curry,
as such.-But moro Of this hereafter.
