How TO DESTROY RATs.-Sr Humphrey
Davy recommends the following recipe, as
being tasteless, odorless and impalpable :
Carbonate of bayrtes, two ounces, mixed
with one pound of grease. 1t produces great
thirst, and death Immediately after drinking,
thus preventing the animals going back to
their holes. To prevent accident to dogs,
cats and poultry it should be spread on the
inside of an iron or tin vessel, hung with
wire, bottom upw ards, over beam, just
high enough for a rat to pass, under easily.

HORSES AND MULES FOR THE
SOUTH.

The neglect of grain crops by the cotton
planters of the South, has been often and
justly animadverted upon. The maximn---
produce, If possible, all ofyour home sup
plies at hone"-cannot be too often or too
deeply impressed upon the agricultural COM
munity of the Mississippi Valley South.
But there is one corollary from this max
i'm, which so far we believe, has been but
little agitated or discussed. With every
natural facility for growing fine horses and
mules, all the cotton States Excepting a
small portion of Tennessec) are tributary
to Kentucky and the Western States for
their supplies of those useful and indispen-
sable auxiliaries Of man, whether engaged
in agriculture or commerce.
There is no reason why Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and
Texas, should not raise all of their own
horses and mules. There is no earthly rea-
son why these States should not also raise
all Of their own corn, hogs COWS, &C.
There is likewise no earthly reason why
these States should not pay particular at
tention to the improvement of the breeds
OF all the different kinds of stock.
1t is sometimes said that the South is
not good grazing country, and therefore
not suitable for growing fine stock A mo-
ment's consideration will show that this is
the purest " fudge" The lowlands border
ing upon. every perennial stream in the South
from the lordly Tennessee to the small
est brook Singing its quiet tune" are ca.
pable of being made, at little expence, the
fuest pastures in the word.
Look at the Tennessee bottom; how many
millions Of acres are there, yetawaiting the
occupancy Of the grazier, to whose purpo-
sss they arc better ouited than to those of

UNITED STATES REVIEW e STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER.

TN CONNECTION with the usual matter,
l. political and literary, contained in the UNI
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to republish all
the state papers extant on the question of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
of '9S and 80. The publication will embrace
also the works of standard writers, such as
John Taylor of Caroline, whose works are now
nearly out of print These valuable political
data will be carefully collected, and when com
pleted, will furnish a complete constitutional
history Of our Federal Union. The subscrip-
ton list of the State Rights Register" (thc
prospectus Of which was issued under the APP,
probation Of the Democratic members and
senator's in congress) will be furnished regular
ly with the RcrieU from this date, and we hope
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
a duty to Il great and sacred political principle
by extending the list of names already on our
books.
1t is time for us to 90 go back to those pure
principles upon which the great fabric OF de-
mocracy rests; principles originated and defined
by those who created, and best understood the
true meaning of the constitution. 1t is time
that the friends OF state sovereignty should raj
ly around some common nucleus, to resist the
wild latitudinarianism OF the age, and evident
tendency of the republic towards concentration
Ito end at best in mixed monarchy. 1t is
time for each states-rights man to feel that he
must give his own personal individual influence
to the defense OF the very cornerstone Of our
constitutional government.
We send the Review to the subscribers of
the StateRights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call.
The true Democracy have a great battle to
fight great principle of selfgoyernment to
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend.
May each one Of us feel that it is an individual
duty.

WHEAT GROWING IN LOUISIANA

EDIToRs SOUTHERN CULTIvAToR-The
extensive circulation of your valuable jour-
nal throughout the South, induces me to
apply to you for information upon subject
to which the intelligent farmers and planters
of this Parish are now looking with much
interest-the growth of wheat. The high
price of flour and the difficulty we have ex-
perienced in obtaining it at any price for
the last twelve months, have satisfied every
body that wemust put our shoulders to the
wheel if we desire to avoid a continuance
of the presenl state of things. Little or no
attention has ever been paid to the growth
of wheat in this part of the State. | do
not know d single plantation or farm on
which an acre Of wheat is sown, and my
acquaintance is general in this Parish
Yet, more than half century since, the
Spanish government planned and partly car
ried out scheme for supplying her militia
ry posts, throughout the State-and the Ha-
wanna, with -four, to be raised in this section
of Louisiana.
We believe that the soil of our uplands
is well adapted to the growth of wheat, and
we desire to give it a fair trial. Will you
give us the results Of your experience and
observation as to the kind of wheat best
adapted to the climate Of north Louisiana;
the time of sowing, &C.?
Believing that wheat grown in Georgia,
Alabama or Mississippi would do better
than any brought from the North or West,
| would like to know where we could APP
ply for good article Of seed wheat for use
this fall?
BY attention to the above request you
will oblige your subscribers in this Parish,
and particularly your subscriber and cores
pondent, WIN. Fl. HENDERSON.
Bastrop, La, May, 1855.
REMABKs.-We will endeavor to reply
in full to the inquiries of Mr.. HENDERSON in
our August or September number. In the
meantime, let us hear from our friends in
louisiana who have been successful in rails
