lost to the country and to the world. 1t is
not too late in the season to commence IN
an agricultural regeneration, aud instead
of your State presenting one general scene
of barrens. the green pastures may be COW
cred with Lowing herds. The farmer may
rejoice in his waving grass and well stored
barns. Clover is your great want. You
have thousands of acres of land that is not
worth the taxes you pay upon it, that
might be worth twenty or thirty dollars per
acre, by only slight attention to the SOW
ing of timothy and clover. Young men,
farmers of North Carolina. it is to you and
YOUR fathers we address these hasty
thoughts. Turn over your old fields,
plough deep, SOW clover, again sow wheat
and clover, and see how long before the
face of nature will be changed. Pay less
attention to breeding Of hounds, and more
to that of horses. The sleek fat beeVes
and golden rosy favored butter of New
York, are not the produce of broom grass
and scrub pines. You possess all the Gle
ments OF e rich grazing country. Because
il is not here. is no reason it should not be
made SO. Because fifty. years have been
spent in exhaustIug your State, Is the
strongest reason why the future should be
devoted to regaining your lost position, in
stead of making virgin soil the victim to
the same ruinous process.

IMPORTANT TRUTHS.

We copy the following article from the
Rutherfordton Enquirer, and would recon-
mend it to the careful perusal and rehec,
ton of Planters.
Mr. EDITOR THAT an evil must be
known, to be remedied, is an obvious fact.
That it is our friends who point out, .and
warn US four faults, is as true as that truth
is unpleasant. The agricultural errors of
the South are not only great and general,
but ruinous if carried into general use.
The idea that a man must every five years,
open new field to supply the place of the
old and exhausted one, is one of the most
ridiculous. Suppose the world were to
adopt this theory for the next hundred
years, with its increasing millions, it is but
tive plain that famine dark and sweeping
would desolate our earth. 1t seems, to
look out upon and travel over this State.
that the use of grasses is almost unknown or
neglected. And being thus neglected, one
of the most productive sources of wealth is

IRISH POTATOES.

The following mode of planting and rails
ing Irish Potatoes. we clip from the
Christian Sun, written, as the Editor says,
by one of the best and most successful rails
ers Ofthis faveritc esculent in AlamaEce Co,
n. c. \ section where they make as fine
Potatoes as can be produced any where in
the world. The writer says:
Il propose to give you my mode of plant
ing, which has for several years, proved
eminently successful, without q single
failure.
select a friable soil, inclined to be
sandy, if convenient, if not already rich
make it moderately so, by a dressing.
broad cast, of we'll rotted manure, the
scraPings of the kitchen yard prepared, but
any well rotted manure is good; prepare
the ground thoroughly by repeated plow
ings or spadings if necessary. This done,
make burrows or trenches two feet apart
andfour inches deep.
Then make a compost of 90 bushels wood
mould or partially decomposed vegetable
matter, bushel No. l Peruvian Guano,
and one bushel of fine charcoal, (such as
can be had about Railroad stations, or
Black Smith shops) or instead thereof,
bushel of ground Potash, thoroughly moor
porate these ingredients and spread at the
bottom of the furrow at the rate of one large
handful to two steps, about six feet.
Cut and drop the potatoes in the ordina-
~ way. about nine inches apart, then fill
the trench even full of earth, leaving the
surface perfectly Ierel, and if at diging
time you are not satisfied with the yield
your success will not equal mine. l have
raised from this mode of culture over 400
bushels from bushels of seed.
When the grass makes it appearance,
put with the hoe or plough, a sufficient
quantity of earth about the plant to cover
the grass, and this ends the cultivation, ex-
cept to 60 over and pull cut the largest
weeds.
This plan of planting is (fer cur latitude)
founded on common sense.
Our climate is warm, and soil hot and dry
in summer, hence, the potatoes in ridges
scald and begin to rot, soon after, often be-
fore maturity; if we dig them so early they
will not keep. but when the plan now des-
cribsd is adopted, the Guano compost
hastens the growth, the ground being bare,
is more easily shaded and kept cool,
and the Potatoes will be found sound and
remain in the ground until frost, when you
may dig and put them away for winter
use, as well in Virginia and Carolina, as in
Maine or Connecticut: Some may think
the:f land too moist for this mode of plant
ing; to such would say-the Irish petatoe
delights in deep mellow moist soil, but if
your ground is truly too damp for such
crop, it needs ditching, and will not grow
any thing well until this is done.
