GROUND NOTES.-The editor of the Sum-
ter Watchman, says, Ca friend is troubled
with large number of ground nloles, which
infest his fields, producing much destruction
to his corn, both before aud after making its
appearance above the ground" and calls tor
a remedy or preventative for their ravages.
The mole is much slandered and abused
little animal, for, instead of being the thief
and marauder it is represented, it is really
incapable Of performing such mischief. Ma.
ture has not endowed it With the capacity.
Il has no grinders and therefore cannot mas.
ticate corn. Its food is the worm and grub,
and we venture to say, if the friend Of the
Watchman destroys the moles, bis corn fields
will suffer more than ever before. The moles
burrow through the ground, and the field
mice and rats follow in his track, and con-
sumo whatever suits their voracious appetites.
Let the gentleman who complains of the
moles get some ratsbane, and exterminate
these yernip, and assist the moles to destroy
the erubs, and he will not longer complain
of their eating his corn.
" Should any one be skeptical upon this
sub;ect, let him catch g mole and examine
HI. eeth, and then he will be satisfied he
must look elsewhere for bis eusmy.

Few persons appear to be aware either of
the extent of the cultivation of Indian corn,
of its great value to this county. The cen.
sus returns of 1850 fix the amount of Indian
corn grown in the year ending June 3lst,
1850, at five hundred and ninety two millions
seventy.one thousand one hundred and four
bushels. This crop, in quantity produced
and value, far exceeds that of any other ag-
ricultural product, and is SO generally dfus.
ed that there is not district Of country, and
hardly farm or plantation, which does not
cultivate it to greater or less extent The
value of the crop of 1850, our last reliable
data, at an average of fifty cents per bushel,
would amount to S296 OBS, ,552.

IMPROVE YOUR LANDS,

The following statements will be found
correct as to soils long under cultivation:
!. All land on which clover or the grasses
are grown, must either have lime in them
naturally, or that mineral must be artificial
ly supplied: 1t matters but little whether it
be supplied in the form of stone lime, oyster
lime or mari.
2. All permanent improvements on lands
must look to lime as its basis.
8. Lands which have long been in culture,
will be benefited by the application of Rhos-
phate OF lime, and it is unimportant whether
the deficiency be supplied in the form OF
bone dust, guano, native phosphate of lime,
composts of flesh, ashes or that of oyster she'll
hme-or marl-if the land need lime alone.
4. No lands can be preservedin high state
of fertility, unless clover and the grasses are
cultivated in the course of rotation,
S. Mould is indispensable in every sol,
and healthy supply can alone be preserved
through the cultivation of clover, and the ap-
plication of composts rich in the elements of
the mould.
6. All highly concentrated animal manures
are increased in value, aud their benefits pro.
longed by admixture with plaster, salt, or
with pulverized charcoal.
7. Deep blowing greatly improves the
productive powers of every variety of soil
that is not wet.
8. Subsoiling sound land, that is land that
is not wet, is also eminently conducive to
increased production.
9. All wet land should be drained.
10. All grain crops should be harvested
before the grain is thoroughly ripe.
IL. Clover, as we'll as the grasses intend.
ed for hay, should be moved when in bloom.
r. Sandy lands can BIZ most effectually
improved by clay. When such lands re-
quire lining or marling, the lime or mari is
most bene6cialy applied when made into
compost with clay. In Stacking lime, salt
brine is better than water.

WANT OF EDITORIAL.

We have no taste for apologies, and re-
luctantly resort to this source for an article.
But as our BRO. COULTER, is very fond of
getting over this difficulty, by throwing the
burden on SCOOTER, and charging him with
running of to the Cotton patch with origi-
nal articles, &c., we would suggest to him
that he might furnish some other kind of ar
ticles if he would. He certainly could give
our readers something interesting upon Corn
raising, the value Of Guano, as manure
the best mode of applying it-athe best
method of filling Empty Corn Cribs &c.
Blooded Stock, Hogs, and Goats-these
are subjects upon which he might dilate
with interest and profit to himself, and edif-
cation to our readers. We only offer these
suggestions to supply the present efficiency
of Editorial, and to guard against such con.
tngencies for the future.

TO G0URD SEED.

JUST as we expected! In every new in.
vention or improvement, the gumbling critic
finds something to spout about. Suspicious
in their natures aud generally men of little
practical energy; they eagerly pounce up.
on whatever improvement or new invention
is offered to the consideration Of the public
and without proving all things and holding
fast to that which is good, they content
themselves with lifting their warning voices
and crying, Humbug! Humbug!!
Our friend, GouRD SEED, it seems, from
his unjust structures upon article setting forth
the claims of Boyd's Extra Prolific Cotton,
has assumed the position of critic, and Of
course we must be allowed to deal with him
as such. GouRD SEED, as an Agricultural
acr;ter, we must admit to be Sum Pur,kins,
and as he has given bis views with 30 much
cood humor, we can't fall out with him. We
will, however, correct some Of his Mistakes
He iusnuates very plainly that our whole
object was to sell the seed of this Extra
Prolific Cotton, we admit that we had few
for sale, but will GouRD SEED, presume to
say. that for the sake of few dollars that
we would, not only misrepresent their claims,
but that we would also impose worthless
bumbug upon our brother farmerss Money
don't destroy all our sense of honor and
propriety. At one dollar per bushel, we
have disposed of all the seed we could spare
and what will surprise GouRD SEED more
is, that we have failed to fill orders for 4o
bushels, for want of seed to supply, the de-
maud We must be allowed to presume,
that GouRD SEED has mistaken our locality,
as we claim to be among the first, that plan
ted this cotton in the State, and that we
have, from our own experience, right to
know and speak of its prolific qualities.
The greatest objection that find to the
article of GouRD SEED is, Notwithstanding
its harmless humor, it seems to make farce
of every kind of improvement and progress,
and especially of the large crops that were
made last year. Is it possible that GouRD
SEED, who has lived 10! these many years,
in the enlightened community, about Cam
bridge, and in this progressive age Of Rail
Roads, Steam aad Lightning, is still! behind
the times, and carrying the pumpkin in one
end Of the bag and rock in the other No
me ,caut believe it. We see progress and
improvement stsaped upon his signature,
and if he will follow his own pedigree back
to the remote antiquities of the days Of
iona, he will make some pleasing discove.
ries, as to the cause of his own fondness for
Fishing. if not for Fo1-hunting. AS the
grass is now growing, we must take our
leave of you, hoping that you will start some
other game as this critter is tired of you.

can command, always providing that the
meat cured is of the best quality. 1t is this

Half lb. of sugar,
Half OF. of saltpetre,
Half OF. Of potash.

any quantity desired. Let these be boiled
together, until all the dirt from the sugar
(which will not be little) rises to the top
and is SKINNED off. Then throw it into a
tub 10 cool, and when cold, pour it over your
beef or.pork, to remain the usual time; say
four or five weeks. The meat must be well
covered with pickle, and should not be put
down for at least two days after killing,
during which time it should be slightly
sprinkled with powdered saltpetre.
Several of our friends have omitted the
boiling of the pickle and found it to answer
equally as well. 1t will not, however, an

AMERICAN W1NE.-A correspondent of
the Nashville Patriot gives the following sug.
gestive facts touching the capability OF Ten.
nessee to become an important wine produ-
cling district The experiments already made
60 to demonstrate that no branch of agri.
culture is likely to be so remunerating as
this; so much so. that the attention of our
farmers has been generally drawn to the
subject, and the number of vineyards is rap.
idly increasing in that State.
I" Mr. Camuse, native of France, an en-
tbusiastic wine grower, and thoroughly vers-
ed in all the mysteries of wine growing, has
given the subject fair test, and am happy
to say, has produced wine not inferior in
delicacy of flavor, or in its healthy and
happy effect upon the system, to the most
celebrated wines of Europe. am informed
by M. Camuse that thousand gallons per
acre is the ordinary yield of we'll cultiva-
ted vineyard in Tennessee, and that so ia
vorable is the climate to its growth that a
failure of the crop need hardly ever be
feared"

Flowers" April showers make May
flowers" and now is the time to plant the
hundreds of beautiful little ANNALS. None
the less beautiful because cheap and CON-
mon. Annual flower seeds should be sowed
quite shallow, and if the weather prove dry,
water them until the seeds have sprouted; !;
as soon as they have become large enough
to work, thin them out judiciously they
cannot bloom we'll if crowded together. The
blooming of ANNALS may be fastened by
frequently watering the plants with guano
water; a gill of guano to one gallon of
water. The same application may be ap-
piled to rose bushes, after the bud has form
ed, taking care to loosen the ground around
the bush with a fork, that the liquid may
soak in about the roots. 1t will give also an
immense bloom to the peony, if applied
after the flower buds have formed. Flowers,
to bloom we'll, should be frequently worked,

is worth cultiyatiug well.-Soil of the South.

SINGLE WHITE MCCARTNEY RosR.--Judg-
ing from some specimens Of this fine Rose,
planted for the pupose of forming hedge,
which we have seen, it is likely to be more
useful than the we'll known Cherokee Rose,
and mainly because it does not die out at
the bottom and open passage for hogs,
like the last named plant. Its ever green
leaves are smaller and somewhat darker than
those of its Cherakee name sake; its thorus
equally or more abundant and formidable !;
while its dense habit of growth renders its
quite indispensable; and it is not less hardy
and easily propagated. Set four feet apart, it
forms close hedge in three years, although
less struggling than the Cherokee, which
spreads to an undesirable extent.-Southern
